M BAT LESHlPS TO HAVE GREATER
 TORPEDO DEFENSE
Many Novel Improvements Planned For Future War
 Craft of United States.


 Washington. Nov. 19-The two new Buperdreadnaugh hts authorized by Congress( will represent the last word in naval architecture
 Since the war has brought no yes sells of this class into conflict no radical departure in construction is planned as no definite lessons have been learned. The greatest difference between the two new ships, Nos. 4 3 and 44-unti1 names for them are chosen-and their inln ediate prede- cesscrs now building, will lie in addi- tional hull protection against torpedo attack The nature of those safe guards have not been revealed except to bidders but they are generally un- derstood to consist of greater sub division and Strengthened bulkheads to keep the ships afIoat even with torn in their bottoms
 In size the new ships will equal the California, now under eonstruc- tion at the New York navy yard They wifi dispIaes S2,0OO tons, measure eight inches beam and draw 80 feet of water. They will have a, speed Of 20 1-2 knots an hour and will be driv- en by turbine engines since the navy department will not build more ships Z of combined steam and electric drive as in the California, until that vessel has proved her worth. They will car ry a dozen 14-inch rifles with 30 de- gree elevation. twenty-two 5zinch rifles for defense against destroyers. four submerged torpedo tubes and three anti-aircraft guns to repen aero planes and dir1gibles
 The steady increase in size of bat tIeshfps is shown by a comparison of the new vessels with the Nevada, the latest addition to the Navy They will disp1ace. 2.600 tons more than the Nevada, and show an increased length of nearly 50 feet and a few feet -ad- ditionaf breadth and wiIlI mount 12 big guns against the Nevada's ten.
 In appearance the new ships will show a marked departure from ves- sels of their type now in commission as they will be constructed with long overhanging bowss known as clipper stems, patterned after swift sailing ships of days gone by. The result, in The opinion of the navy designers, will be to give the battIecraft great Ter freedom from pitching in heavy seas.

SWEETHEART GOES TO FIGHT

D oWAAGA1HAESH GOES 10 E1GE1I. "Joe" F7laherty. the lightweight champion of Massachusetts, who failed to meet Harry Lane. of this 1 city, last night, as related elsewhere, has many welI-Wishers in Connecti.- l cut. The sympathy of a portion ofAthe l local sporting fraternity was enlisted in his favor last night but in the case l of one sympathizer the passion for l his success asserted itself in an unmis-
 taIab1e manner
 For the benefit of those whose whose curiosity is not moved by the
 private life of a prize fighter, it may oe stated that Flaherty has a sweet heart, and she is Florence Brill of this city. Florence is a pretty young girl of IS summers and is a sister of the woman who cruised about the At l lantic coast clothed in the garb of a sailor before her indentity was dis closed. This was about two years ago.
 Last evening as the TAO train start ed with the mass of sporting freight 1 bound for the scene of the Lane-Fla- 1 Iherty fight aboard, a Farmer report
 CT occupied a seat in the smoking car. The Farmer man while glancing up and down the aisle noticed an ap-
 parentIy cur1y-headed youth. As the reporter scrutinized him more closet 1 1y, it suddenly dawned upon him that the curly hair was a wig and that the genuine article was sticking out just
 
 Lane Refuses to Fight
 The Farmer. reporter lost no time in learning that the young man was Florence Brill and that she had put herself to all this trouble to be at the
 rfngside. She was to. be disappointed however, as Lane refused to enter the l ring unless. a purse of $3OO was forth fcoming. Fred Bullen. the stakeholder
 had not received that amount from the promoters and there is no doubt Ithat number could have been sub I7scribed had Lane stepped to the ring tside It is said that Lane never intend led to fight Tickets were sold at $5 a piece and. one enthusiast offered to Ebuy up $100 worth of tickets if the lboys would only fight. The scene of fthe proposed battle was dance hall l in Seymour, about a mile over the Derby line, and over four miles from the railroad station in that city. The fight was to be for the lightweight cham ptonshp of Connecticut and Mas
 sachusetts and for a purse of $500. When Derby Junction was reached the fans swarne1 into Frank C1arks ho- tel and Lane rolled into bed. The crowd was now about 800 rasbid fight
 fans. About 50 carray--a11s. buses, stages, barges, surreys and buggies transported the crowd to the scene. The word was passed around about II o'clock that the fight would be pulled off
 It was then discovered that Lane had no intention of entering the ring. EThe crowd became convinced at 2 A.
 M. that there would be no fight and began to disperse as best they could. Scores who had paid dollar a piece for Transportation from McManus' sa- loon to the scene of the expected fight were compelled to walk back to town. The hotel was filled to- overflowingl and men walked the streets all night, The disappointed fans started for home about 7'o'clock in the morning. It is needless to say that the beer emporiums did a land office business after opening up time.

A joke neatly carried out at the police station prompted the send ing of ten b1uecoats to Holland Height A hearty laugh at the tricIed officials was greatly enjoyed but not by the victimized officers.

higher land that lies back from the
Columbia river is mostly of finer
texture. The soils are markedly def
cient in organic matter and nitrogen.
The physical character of this land
renders the duty of irrigation water
very low. From soil standpoint, the
correction of these two difficulties,
which are among the principal factors
influencing crop production, is of the
utmost Importance.
Climatic conditions of this district
are very congenial for crop growth.
They are rare combination of dry at
mosphere and dry weather. The effect
is comparatively long growing seasons
and mild, open winters"
Conditions on this tract are such as
render necessary scientific investiga-
tion in eradication of alkali, securing
stands of crops, crop rotations, and the
economical use of water and increas-
ing soil fertility.
Reports of experiments with truck
crops, strawberries, cane fruits and
tree fruits as carried on in field plats,
are given in the new bulletin, free
copies of which may be had by all in
terested persons upon request ad-
