NAVY DOCK FOR SEWARD IS NOW
 PROVIDED FOR

All that part of the waterfront from Monroe street on the north to Wash. fngton on the south has been sci aside by the Alaska Engineering com mission for coal docks for the United State navy says the Seward Gate way
 Col Frederick Mears, chairman of rho Alaska Engineering commission made the above statement regarding waterfront reservations during his of fciaI visit here yesterday
 The reservation of the waterfront above mentioned means that thc navy can construct a 1acr having front age of oyer 5000 feet with slips run ming east and west. if il is so desired. The water is deep enough along the reserve made that any boat no matter ,low large, can dock and receive coal
 With the navy coal docks situated between Monroe and Washington, the railroad tracks are adjacent and the bunker- can easily be reached by an incline track or tracks.
 None know just what inc plans for he navy dock call for but if is eyi- dent that the docks will be as large as any similar docks on the Pacific coast
 II is understood from an unofficial source that engineers may visit Sew ard within the next few weeks to get a careful survey for the proposed coal docks. and it is even said that mater faI for construction work may be ship. ped to Seward during the winter so that work can be hastencd as soon as piles are driven for the concrete of which the docks will probably be con vtIucted next spring.
 The following is the executive or. der signed by President Wilson re. garding the reservation for the navy coal bunkers at Seward;
 "It is hereby ordered that the fol- lowing described tract of land at Sew ard, Alaska be and the same is hereby reserved and sci aside for the use of the navy department for the cree ton of wharyes. coal and storage yard and other naval purposes.
 "AII of that certain tract of land bounded on the west by a line drawn paralel to and 200 feet easterly from the center line of the government railroad: on the north by the north line of Monroe street extended caster Iy: on the east by the waters of Resur- rection bay and on the south by he south line of Washington street eX- tended eastward Provided, that the land hereby set aside and the wharyes, and yards, and other improvements there shall also be available for use by the Department of the Interior in such manner and at such times as shall not interfere with the use there of for naval purposes, pursuant to such arrangements as may be made by the secretaries of the navy and interior

LAST EAGLE IS
 BUILT BY FORD

Ford Eagle Boat Number Sixty
 the last one to be built by the Ford
 Motor company under the stipula-
 tions oI it's war time contract with
 the navy department was launched
 at the River Rouge DetroiD yard Aug 16th at 3:3O p. h., and the long assembling building which is third of a mile long and housed twenty-one of the submarine chasers at time, is
 already being transferred into body building plant with proposed out put Of 50O bodies daily.
 Ford officials, workers, sailors and many invited guests witnessed the 'launchine Number Sixty was dress ed with flags and bunting and as it found the level in the Rouge and fIoated free from the railroad tracks which carried it on the eIeyator-like ! launching table, the factory took part ] in the ceremony by blowing sixty blasts one for each boat launched at the Ford yard.
 Twenty-Five Eagles have aIreary been commissioned by the navy, and . il is expected that the remaining boat will be entirely completed by Noyem- ber lSt. one thing which greatly pro- Ionged the work was the changes in the outfung of the boats shortly a1- , ter the armistice was signed. Rapid ly as the Eagles are commissioned they are joining different squadron5 of the U. & fleet Six of the Ford
 boats are going to the Filipines to replace six old desuoyers and gun
 boats; another squadron will join the international patrol off the coast Of China; Eagles 1, and 3 are now doing patrol duty adjacent to ArcA angle Russia, and it is quite prob able that d small fleet will be sent to Italy.
 The Eagles were designed particu- IarIy to carry the submarine detect ing devices or listeners, depth bomb protectors and three inch guns with which to combat the Uboat once it had been located by the listener. They are practically nOiseless in operation, light, speedy and so con- structed that quick getaway is possible it being necessary to often stop and listen in chasing down a detected sub, Had the submarine destroyers been called into actual service which only the armistice prevented they would of operated in flOtillas of three.
 Commander Nicholas, stationed in the Rouge Yard, said he knew noth- ing of reports issued by the navy de- partment relative to the merits of the Eagles but that they have performed remarkably well on their trips and all tests given them before leaving the Ford Yards, and that had they been called into actual service, they would have proven a very formidable enemy to the submarines.

PARDONED ON THE EVE OF
MOTHERHOOD

Upon the request of 400 petition
ers of her county, pardon was grant
ed on Wednesday by Governor
Cornwell TO Mrs. J. Switzerland
Prlt,iwife of w. c. Pritt, of Pocahon-
tasicounty. Mrs. Priit is the mother
OF three small children. She is
about to become the mother for the
fourth time. She was convicted of
murder in the second degree in the
court of Pocahontas county last De-
cember, and sentenced to serve a
long term in the Moundsville peni-
Tertiary for the shooting of her faith
er, J. Henry Walton.
The petition for her pardon con-
tanned some of the best citizens of
her county, and the prosecuting at
torney, w. A. Bralton, writes:
ut would be entirely proper to
grant conditional pardon and such
action should be TAKEN"
"A feeling that a baby should not
be born in the state penitentiary
was probably influential in bring
ing about the large number of
petitioners, it is stated.

DEATH OF SAMUEL GILKESON.
Samuel Wallace Gilkeson was
born March "a, 1858, a son of Isaac
and Mary Gilkeson, of the Hughart
community, and passed nearly all
his life near the place of his birth.
His chief occupation was farming,
though he was also good mechanic
am was thus a very useful man in
his community. He served the
people several terms as justice of
the Peace. In 1887 he married Miss
Sophia B. Lowance TO which union
six children were born. The oldest
of these, Ada, died of measles some
years ago at the age of Is. He is
survived by his widow and the FOL
lowing children-Mrs. Dottie S.
Legg. Misses Ola and Nina and Ross
and Mack Gilkeson, also by one bro
Their, Harvey, and one sister, Miss
Rebecca Gilkeson.
In early life he professed his faith
in the Savior and united with the
Disciples of Christ Church, of which
he remained to the end a consistent
member.
Mr.. Gilkeson died of acute indi-
gestion. He had been in bad health
for many months and had intended
to enter hospital for treatment. No
one supposed that the end was so
near.
In his last illness he expressed his
Willingness to die and his full con-
tidence in the Savior in whom he
had placed his trust. He fell into
the long sleep at 2 o'clock, on Sat
urday morning, June Fl, 1919, aged
81 years, 2 months and 81 days. A
good man has gone and his place
will be hard to fill.
The funeral was conducted by
Rev. c. NJ. Sarver, Of the NJ. Z.
Church, South, at williamsburg, af-
ter which the body was laid to rest
in the cemetery there TO await the
morning Of the Resurrection.
