It Is Impossible to indicate the precise na ture of the projected new legislation, but It may be authoritatively stated that a substantial increase ' In the kaiser's naval armaments over and above that already provided by the navy act, 1900, with Its two supple mentary acts, 'is Intended. This development in Germany's shipbuilding program is nothing more than a logical continuation of the policy of the last ten years, and has long been foreseen y those who pos sess real insight Into the Inevitable trend of German naval policy. What the nature and sc?pe of the next navy bill will be is a question that obviously cannot be answered with certainty, but In expert circles there Is a strong expectation that a proposal will be' put forward to re duce the lifetime of a battleship-from twenty years to fifteen years, whereby is transacting business here Miss Chloe Stanfleld came up from a substantial acceleration in the ship her home at Echo this morning and is a guest of Miss Jennie Perry.

Hanscom THE Jeweler War, unrelenting and to a finish has been declared by the farmers of this vicinity upon "Jim .Hill" mus tard. This weed In one of the worst pests with which the farmers of Uma tilla county have to deal and they hope by concerted effort to practical ly-eradlcate It. ' Among the Individual farmers who are putting forth the most efforts to combat the evil is W. W. Harrah, the Wild Horse wheat grower. Mr. Har rah has had three men employed in this work alone all this week with the result that the weed has been nearly comDletely removed from his fields and lanes. Major E. L. Swartzlander is also co-operating with those who have In augurated the campaign and has no i tified the reservation farmers that I they must take the steps necessary to i combat the pest.

The navy act of 1900 fixed the life time of a battleship at twenty-five years; the supplementary act of 1908 reduced It to twenty years, so that a reduction to fifteen years, which Is persistently demanded by unofficial experts, would be a natural continua tion of the same policy. Moreover, this change would be" de fended on the ground that It is mere ly the fulfillment of the provisions of the original navy act of 1900 In re gard to the reserve, fleet, Inasmuch as battleships exceeding fifteen years of fighting value to form efficient naval I reserves. j In all probability proposals will al i an bn framed for a sreat increase of W.
