FOUND CHEAPER TO RUN NAVY
 IN PACIFIC

WASHINGTON, March g. It is cheaper to maintain a destroyer in the Pacific than in the Atlantic, ac- cording t. the latest figures from the Bureau of Engineering, Navy Depart ment, made public recently. The average cost. to maintain in full commission a destroyer in the AL lantic fleet is $2S,0O0 annually, while in the Pacific the cost is $17000. Tn the static regions it costs all of $31 ,O0O, the figures state. However, the cost on the European station is only $12,000, so that the tables bal ance fairly well.
 number of destrOyers are now maintained with greatly reduced com plements, thus effecting a saving. This is possible, as a destroyer with 50 per cent complement costs $17,0OO in the Atlantic and $11,000 nthe Pa cific
 These little boats are still classed among the deadliest weapons afloat, and in the Pacific particularly they are constantly striving to keep at the highest possible state of efficiency. This same applies, of course, to all units wherever they may be stationed, but handicaps vary with the locality.
 Recently while departing for the drill grounds on the Pacific Coast the destroyer squardrons got under way in periods varying from six to fifteen minutes, setting several records.
 The work of these little speed craft, in the words of former destroyer officer, is to attack the enemy ships with their torpedoes, his submarines with their depth charges, his light sur face craft and airplanes with their guns, and defend their own ships with their smoke"

 TEAR FROM MADDING CROWD" MEN ENJOY SIMPLE LIFE
 Asked why he didn't obtain wire less apparatus for his camp and keep in touch with the world, MT. Kraem- CT said it was unnecessary: that mails twice a year were plenty of- ten, then the men have no politics and other things to fuss about. AS it is, they work hard all day and go to bed early, enjoying the sleep of the care-free and the just.
 "No thieves to worry about" said George Armstrong, "You can leave your sluice-boxes and not be afraid the rifles will be raised"
 It is remarkable, MT. Kraemer said, how amiably the men at his camp get along with each other-like a big bunch of brothers and true pals Our only concern" he said, "is to keep the Irish under control" (wink- ing slyly at Tom Kinney)-"and then everything goes along fin and dandy"

Fishing products to an amount or $5.OOO,0OO year will be diverted from Prince Rupert to Ketchikan, Alaska, and American ships plying between Seattle and Alaska be given an opportunity to compete for the trade, under a clause which the Sen ate committee is expected to add to the present tariff bill, according to telegram received from J. J. Under wood, representative of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce at Washing ton, D. c. The clause will provide that all fish received in the United States must come in bond from an American port, or that fish iced, boxed or otherwise prepared in for eign port shall be subject to duty.

FOR LESS WILL POWER

It is becoming more difficult as time
goes on to read the text of periodical
without meeting the seif-improvement
salesman. He's there every month in the
front of the book with a scheme to make
your lungs as capacous as blacksmith S
bellows and your memory as enduring as
that popularity ascribed to the elephant
He seeks to plant in you desire for biceps
as powerful as Mr. Zbyszko's and a will
as unyielding as Gibraltar
Especially is he anxious about your will
power. He insists if you say every morn
ing, q will have million dollars before
die" that eventually that prospect will
materialize.
vii may be capable of scaling any height
But much depends on the task set for the
will. 1t might be as we'll in the end if
there were courses arranged for defation
of lot of the will power in the world A
movement for weaker wills would STOP
among other things all future wars, for it
would do away with vast amount of sell
fishness A will as infexible as Everest
is not particularly precious if it is exer-
cised in trampling on the rest of humanity
to reach seat in the sum-
Lincoln did not repeat the 81 will' for
mula periodically Historians seem to
agree that he CROPPED along in conscious
ness that he was an instrument of God.
The picture of the downy sophomore
clenching his fists before the mirror and
parroting the mystic ritual is engaging.
But perhaps it would be better in the be-
ginning if he submitted faith for gymnas-
tics in will power. Faith moves men for
ward with no loud gritting of teeth and
digging of nails into the palms. The will
developer is apt to be an annoyance to
himself and nuisance to his friends. Faith
annoys no one, and it is lot more COM
Portable than looking intense and cutting
a neighbours throat.

WHEN "THE PEOPLE" THINK

When the people come down to serious
thinking, bringing national questions
straight to personal consciousness, then in
deed will thrones totter and tyrants trem-
ble," whatever and in whatever degree
such things are in existence.
Recently man was talking merely like
a thinking citizen of the republic. He said !:
CAS- you may like to know what the
voters may think on public questions, can
say for myself: The Administrations lead
ing thought Of merchant marine is our
present greatest hope; but do not favor
subsidy except as offset to that of other
nations to their ships.
you have seen pictures of the dead
fleets of the shipping board. They died
of too much government. l believe with
free waterways, free shore facilities, ard
unfettered American management and
personal, all American and foreign hos
tility or discrimination promptly met by
legislation or reciprocity, every good ship
would be sailing soon. Enough taxes, fees,
and regulation will kill any business on
this globe.
Cleared Of all parasites, expenses, and
extortion, any really needed activity will
grow in any open field. Give our own
ships every freedom at home, and charge
others all that they charge us, and our flag
will fly in every port, every day. Take off
the taxes"

TEN YEARS AGO
August II, 1912

Again the pure food law has been
defeated in Nevada. Some weeks
ago one of the Nevada inspectors
arrested a milk man at Winemucca-
for selling adulterated milk. The
man demanded a jury trial. which
was held. The state turned in its
indisputable evidence, yet a jury
stood six to six on the charge and
the man practically wins with his
adulterated milk that is served to
Winnemucca people. Another case
was tried some time ago in another
Nevada town with jury acquit-
ting the accused party. 1t would
seem that the average citizen en-.
joys fraudulent goods, imitation
milk, near food and short weight, as
they refuse to find guilty when il
is shown to them in black and
white.
r. M. Hardy, the prominent Love
lock lawyer and candidate for the
nomination for district attorney OF
Humboldt county, has returned

On August /, Mr.. Hardy was mar
ried at Bay View, Michigan, to Miss
Mary B. Bourne, who returned with
him, and the young couple will
make their home in Lovelock.

BUSINESS PROGRESS

The federal reserve board takes an opti-
mistic view Of the business situation. In
spite of strikes and their retarding effects
it finds there was business progress during
July of a substantial character. There was
gratifying increase in volume and in total
value, although in some lines there were
slight shrinkages as compared with June
statistics This certainly indicates basic
conditions are favorable and leads to con-
lecture as to possible results if the situa-
ton were not influenced by strikes.
On the other hand, financial experts in
commenting on July business figures, while
admitting progress, see a handicap in the
readjustment necessitated by strikes and
fiscal legislation. One declares that re-
construction has been set back year.
Still, this apparently pessimistic view may
not take into consideration the impetus
gained by business as a whole. It is an
economic fact that momentum increases
force and power, and business has certain
ly gained momentum.

appear in few days.
Englewood, N. j., comes to the
front with duck story. An aged
duck, the property of John Martin,
a produce farmer, Matched out a
bunch of six little ducklings week
ago. Five of them were ordinary
ducks, but the sixth was a freak
duck with two little bodies. The
bodies are not side side, nor are
they tandem. One of the bodies
grows on the back of the other with
the feet in the air.
Both bodies and all four feet are
perfectly developed, and the duck
ling seems to be as lively as any of
his fellows. The mother duck is
very proud of her unique offspring,
and pays much attention to him,
particularly as the superfuous
feet are likely to catch frequently
in the tall grass.
Many of the residents of Engle-
wood have journeyed to Martins
farm to see the freak, and he in
tends to give a sort of informal
soiree when the double duck takes
his first swimming lesson.

LEAGUE DEBATES
EAST MANDATES

London, July 18.--(By Associ-
ated Press. )-The council of the
league of nations, which opened
sessions in London yesterday
planned to hold today's meeting
behind closed doors to continue
It's discussion OF mandates.
The decision, which early this
morning apparently was tentative
brought forth considerable criti-
cism of secret discussion of such
important items on today's agenda
as class A mandates, including
Palestine and Syria, on which the
general British public considers
there should be the fullest light
OF publicity and class b mandates
dealing with African territories.
The Palestine mandate Is ex-
pected to create intense interest
and possibly some bitches, in view
OF the reported dissatisfaction OF
the vatican regarding the custody
of holy places, and the treatment
of Catholic interests.

Paris, July 18.-(By Associated

German reparations problem is be-

in France as inevitable.
The proposal to reduce the Ger
man indemnity to fifty billion
gold marks. to cancel the French
debt to Great Britain and to con-
clude the long pending ANs'u-
French defensive alliance has be-
come such a constant subject of
discussion In reparations circles
that newspaper and political ex-
perts, although not yet defining
the terms in detail, are beginning
to accept as a foregone conclusion
that there must be some such ad
justment.
The French governme ent Is hold
ing out vigorously 1or a formal
declaration by the reparations
commission that Germany has
voluntarily defaulted but some of
the French newspapers are now
joining the British in saying that
German financial catastrophe
must be avoided first and that the
question of Germany's guilt may
be determined later.

REORGANIZATION OF
JORDAN PROJECT

Preliminary steps toward the

board here this AFTERNOON and the
matter referred to State Engineer
Cupper for further action. The
project, Carey act project com
prising 10000 acres OF land in

company, promoter of the project,
went into the hands OF a receiver,
The project is partly completed,
the dam, reservoir and canal be-
ing already constructed and sew
sral thousands of acres of land are
under irrigation. The newly or
ganized district recently voted a
100000 bond issue with which
to complete development of the
project.
