 This carries with it the permanency of the naval hospital in Jefferson av- enue. The navy took over the new almshouse, which has first been com pleted and made it oyer for hospital purposes, constructed three new build ings on the property, in addition to taking over the adjoining Memorial hospital. It is now semi officially re- ported that the government is to pur- chase not only the new aimshouse now the hospital but also the old aims

 land now owned by the city at that place, which is quite extensive. In that event it is quite probable that the

 navy. At the present time the navy is paying annual rental of $6,c00 for the
 use of the building and all improve ! ments have been made without cost

WATER TRANSPORTATION
VERY ESSENTIAL NOW
BY LEWIS WOOD,

washington, Jan. 9.--Transporta
ton is the main artery of war.
The railroads of the country have
become congested, so that freight can
scarcely be moved. Congressional
and other Official surgeons are now
at work trying to operate on the
huge patient.
Bnt, at the same time, there arc
Others who would supply other modes
of transportation and thus give the
railroads an opportunity to recuperatc
and return TO health. These are the
men who are backing water transnor.

Water transportation is no new
thlng in Congress. It has been urged
Tor years. But there is small doub;
That this will be one of the years in
when more pressure will be brought
to bear for water development than
ever before.
The Administration is strongly back
of a movement which would co.ordl.
nat" all means of transportation in
tie land. Taking advantage of this
spirit the supporters of water de.
velopment are beginning now to talk
their bills about the halls of the Capi
tai.
One OF the most earnest workers
FOR development Of the great rivers
and canals is Senator Newlands, of
He is sometimes called the
Apostle" of water transportation. He
has plan O. development which
would cost many millions.
But, he said. "in the day of these
giant sums. what would that amount
to? No one can measure the loss TO
tho country arising from our failure

strumentalities Of. commerce. Those
rivers which carry to most advantage

would be even more effective in some
directions than our railways.
