Then. .. and. 900. .Now

Today the Oregon's trip may be
safely recorded as the only one
and the last Of it's kind. No other
warship is likely to be called upon
to make the circuit of South
America. Before another war can
come to pass, the gateway Of the
oceans will have been opened at
Panama. Then a modern battle
ship steaming at the. same rate as
the Oregon, might make Jupiter
bay, Florida, from San Francisco,
in less than twenty days.. She
would not suffer for want Of coal,
as did the oregon. She would need
to refill her bunkers but once, and
this while passing through the
canal. During the eight to twelve
hours' passage of the isthmus. the
engineers could repair or overhaul
her machinery, and barnacles, the
bane Of high speed would be
cleaned. Thus refTeshed, the bat
tleship could dash across the Gulf
of Mexico and into battle line
we'll stocked with both fuel and
ammunition.

where he estimated the job and sub
mitted his bid. His many friends in
Fargo and throughout the state Will
rejoice that he was successful.
When he gave the bid he gave a

most drtfted out OF fiction. Novelists

he was always rather an lnanimate

there, says the New York Telegraph.
Perhaps he was a sort OF property

was about all that could be said for
him, Some characteristics OF Eng.
