JAPs BUILDING HUGE "sUBs.-
Reported to Have Ready for Launch
Ing Monster Craft

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 11.-Navai
experts were interested yesterday in
a report that Japan is building the
largest submarines ever launched by
n naval power, and that they viii have
an estimated cruising radius of 10000
miles. capable of crossing the Pacific
and returning to home bases without
refueling.
IL is conceded that Japan may be
building something far in advance OF
any suhmersible yet turned out. There
is some doubt that the japanese have
been able TO so 50 far ahead of known
engineering development in construct
ing fleet submarines. In fact the new
fleet submarines Of the American navy
are considered the last word In this
type OF construction to date and very
little is being said about them.
Information regarding the big
japanese submarines was received
from a well known engineer who di-
vulged the fact that his firm had ne
gotiated with Japan for monster Diesel
engines TO be built in Switzerland.

clerk of the Market Edward Nc
A,eer stated to-day that there are still
q few property owners or tenants along
E;,g STREET who are renting the space
IN 'front.' of their properties to the pro-
nr;etors OF stands on market days, which
i contrary TO the law and against which
rrectiae he has issued warning. He said
All n,ch stands must be removed from
the street markets by September ! and
and after that violators OF this law will
br prosecuted. These stands cause a
geoeral congestion about which mer-
chants along the street hav complained.
MANY of the stands have already been
removed.
The Street and Sewer Department
has not as yet designated any street
for the proposed market on the west
side of the city in the vicinity OF Fourth
and Unpn streets. 1t is believed, how
ever. that Fourth street between Union
and Grant will be the block selected,
This is an unusually WIDE street, IT u
well paved, traffic Is comparatively hight
and there are not many houses along the
block from which complaints might
come. Il is considered an ideal location
for the new street market.
Merchants along King street m an
effort to give that thoroughfere better
appearance have removed old awnings
and awning posts and arc putting up new
awnings, Some, however, have failed
to JOIN this general movement for the
street improvement and the others are
now endeavoring to make the work OF
