TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
rom Prairie Ronde Local

f.. i. q TO. III. A. y
Whereas, 1t has pleased the Al
mighty to remove from among Us
our worthy old Brother. Ducon-
| dray f. Dupre, who died on May
| i6, 1915, at II p. NJ, at the age of 80
years, 0 months, 6 days. and
Whereas, His death was made a
| double misfortune To the family, as
his aged wife nd life companion
had preceded him to the grave by
only ten days.
Brother Dupre was a Confedef-
ate veteran and. served with dis
tinction throughout the Civil War.
He was the oldest member of our
local, a prominent farmer, and a
friend of his community: before he
was stricken by illness he always
took an active part in local and
parish affairs.
When he was rendered helpless
by sickness, he applied for a demit
from his local Union, because he
could no longer attend meetings:
refused to grant, but instead made
him an honorarymember for life.
To his two children we fail to
find words that can give consola-

To Duh Sister, Mrs. Emar Andre

these two old and helpless invalids
for a number of years with the pa
thence and perseverance born of
true filial love, no words can we
say that will allay her grief: ex-
cept that she should feel that she
has repaid them lin part at least1
for all she owed them.
Resolved, That we tender to the

and heartfelt sympathies.
Resolved further, That a copy of
these resolutions be sent to the st.

That a special page in u min

Fellow citizens. we are about to

vention, to enact laws for the flu

grindstones with the hope that
they can use said grindstones i'll
the future for the purpose OF
sharpening their own individual
yes thereon; let us therefore send
only men who will work for our
interest and the welfare of the
State.
[ have in my mind the name of
a man who would fill all the quail
ifications; | know not il he would
accept but it would be a graceful
tribute to a man who has served
you in his youth and in his prime,
and who now in his declining years
can still further serve US. The man
I mean is the Hon. Edward 7.

honor ourselves; it is likely to be
the last opportunity he will have to

Dear Sir:
Advise all your readers who con
template a trip to the California <
position, to route, at least one way
via Adamna to see the Petrlfied
forests and by Williams to view the
Grand Canyon of Arizona. Stop oil
privileges are granted at both
places as well as at Santa Fe, the
oldest town in the United States,
if going by the Frisco, which is
part of the Santa Fe system, It IS
a most interesting town; the PAL

seum is worth 6 days visit alone.
There they can meet Carlo Vlerra,
a distinguished artist who painted
The splendid pictures OF Arcneo-
logical ruins of Central America
and Mexico adjoining the Califor-
MIA building In San Diego. They
should visit the st. Vincent SAM
larium for Tuberculous patients
conducted by the Sisters OF Mercy
and if time permits take an auto
rip to the cliff jewellers canyon.
On arriving at Adamna it would
be well to bargain with the only
hotel proprietor and insist that the
northern as well as the southern
| forests should be visited, also the
Aztec ruins and hVeroglyphias on
the cliffs for the So rate, which Is
the charge; as all can be made in
a short day by auto, they should
also take q flask Of coffee or tea to
supplement the meager lunch
sench served and for which the
tourists will pay anyhow. There
is no necessity of spending the
night there if the hour Of arrival is
timed to get there in the morning
leaving at 5 o'clock.
At Williams take a tourist sleep

Aftermath of "Cougins

shake-up among the officers Of the
! Naval Academy at Annapolis who
have been there two years or more.
has been ordered by Secretary Of the
| Navy Daniels. Although the Secre-
scandal had anything to do with 1t.
no doubt is felt here that this is the rea-
son for the action. When Superin-
tendent Fullam was transferred there
were charges of political influence
! which the Secretary denied. No doubt
such charges will be revived in view
of today's shake-up.
Commander Mutton, now in the Or
dnance Department. will be put in
command of the midshipmen. when
Acting Superintendent L. H. Chandler
is detached.
Officers who are detached are: Com

to command, to become navigator of
Wyoming; Lieut. NJ. E. Manley. aide to

on the staff of the Commander in Chief
of Pacific Reserve Fleet; Lieut. Com
mander Hillery Williams. to be execu-
tive officer of Rhode Island; Lieut..

IL. S. "SUBS" IN GOOD
/ SHAPE, SAYS DANIELS
No Nation Satisfied with Its U-Boats
Yet. Declares Secretary
of Navy.

Secretary Of the Navy Daniels in an
rine f1otilla Of the United States navy
from charges which have been made
against its efficiency by Representative
Gardner. of Massachusetts,, and others
since the, sinking of the F-4. Mr.. Daniels
declared that most of the American sub
marines are as good as any of the types
constructed before the European war
broke out. No nation. he said. is salts
fed yet with its submarine engines and
batteries.
I'VE have just arranged for putting
in two Edison ba tteries," said the Secre-
tary. Zone we have already put on sub
marine E-2 at the New York navy yard
and the other one will be put in the LIS
now building at the Portsmouth navy
yard.
When Capt Grant was appointed to
take charge of the submarines he was
authorized to take up the whole sub
marine matter, and he is giving his en-
tire time and thought to it. I said to
him that if there is any submarine built
in the old times which is no good 1t
should be consigned to the scrap heap,
and all others needing it should be re-
paired and put in shipshape. Most of our
submarines are in good shape now. OF
course, those built ten years ago are not
as good as those built six years ago.
.'Will the submarines do as good work
as those abroad? No nation is satisfied
with its submarine engines or batteries.
We are using exactly the same battery
and engine that they used in England.
France and Germany when the war
broke out. They may have In the stress
of war made something better that We do
not know of.
YOU ask about the German submarine
that made the trip around Gibraltar to
the Dardanelles. Some Of our subnla-
rines have a radius of 5000 miles. Only
recently some of ours went $500 miles.
We are doing our best. We are building
the Schley, the biggest submarine ever
laid down. A New York newspaper yes
terday said that the submarines in this
country are as good as any there are in
the world We do not know what trou-
bles the other countries are having. We
have had only one accident. and every
other country has lost more submarines
during peace than we. I hope new bat
teries will solve the whole trouble"
