HONOLULU, .Inly 24. "Twenty
on j hundred miloH of drill" toll the
9tnry of the cruise of the. battleship
fleet from the Golden (late to Hono
lulu. With the vast sapphire stretch
es of the placid Pacific as the area of
maneuver, the great Hhips wore each
day put through tactical evolutions
showing a greatly increased proficien
cy over the drills on the month pre
vious. Tbo impressive scenes us tho ponder
ous white hulls dashed into position
as though they were some great living
potential things, called for hut little
imagination to sen the deep red tongues
of the guns lapping through the smoky
breath and to henr the road and crush
and hiss of hurtling projectiles.
Maneuvers Very Eeal.
It was all very real, these battle man
envers, performed with all tho color
ing save the blazing guns which are
'expected by every sen fighter to some
-day witness the greatest naval engage
me'ut in Ihe world's history.
Each ship and each division vied
With each other to receive the coveted
"Vs" signalling from the flagship,
which menus "Well done."
Occasionally a ship would swerve
u short distance from its assigned po
sition and the "Uo" (badly done) sig
nal, with the ship's letter, would in nn
instant bo run to tho signal yards of
the flagship. The humiliation of the
ship receiving the "punk flag" us
the bluejackets' call tho "Uo" conld
almost be felt.
But seldom, however, was the "Uo"
signal displayed. The most difficult
mauuervers were performed with al
most perfect precision.
All Make Their Wills.
. The second day out from ftan F'ran
Cisco was "will day," and over 14,
000 last wills and testaments were sub
scribed to by us husky and thoroughly
alive 14,000 fighting men ns can be
found looking for testaments on the
map.'
According to the act pnssed by the
last session of congress, any beneficiary
named shonhl be forwnrded six months'
pay by their deceased relative.
The most pitiable scene which lias
yet greeted the fleet on its triumphant
parade was the leper camp of Mnlokai
whon tho fleet in its splendid display
of life and strength stood in close to,
this settlement of human outensts on
Thursday morning to give these hapless
oeings an opportunity to see the ships.
There was none of the customary cheer
ing from either the ships or the lepers,
and the silence was felt as the unspok
en sympathy of the men on board the
vessels.
All night the great fleet steamed at
half speed, so as to pass the leper set
tlement during daytime, giving the
wretched unfortunates an opportunity
to see the ships, of which they had been
told. It was a most gracious act of
the most powerful nation of tho world
to the most lowly and miserable of its
wards.
Sailors Favor Bryan.
riot ' little interest was manifested
by either the officers or men in the
proceedings of the democratic conven
tion, and the word received by wireless
that Bryan was nominated elicited but
little comment. The same apathy was
displayed when word was received that
the republican convention had nomin
ated Tnft.
Neither Tnft nor Hrvnu is popular
with the navy, which is for Itoosevelt
to a man. If there is any dift'erence in
the measure of esteem in which Taft or
Bryan figure, It Is in favor of the Ne.
brnskan. Miles outside of Honolulu
the advance gunrd of the reception was
met. As the fleet npproached the liar
bor an escort of hundreds of smnll craft
darted out to meet it. The shore lines
were packed with such cheering people
is marked the visits to the coast cities
and, as one excited bluejacket expressed
it, "we ain't out of God's countrv
yet."

I JTTE FALLS ITEMS.
John Cadrow has opoucd a gentta-
meu's aad ladies1 furnishing store and
is doing well.
('. K Briggs brought iu several hun-
jdred pounds of ice and regaled our
people with ice cream.
The boll of Saturday night was large
ly attended aud the refreshments served
cooled the ardor of the dancers.
The cornerstone of the uew school
building was laid Wednesday with np
proprinte ceremonies. The school chil
dren were nil out neatly dressed and a
general turnout of the populace attend
ed the exorcises.
t'ora Taylor and family has joined
the colony of Medfordites camping near
the Falls.
Bert Harris is improving rapidlv
and expects soon to bo about among
his friends and looking nfter his many
interests.
A great many inquiries for five and
ten-acre tracts are made, which pur
chasers desire for a summer retreat,
as they find this u most delightful sec
tion to spend n summer outing. If the
railroad was pushed to completion we
would have many tourists nnd summer
visitors.
Tin rninfall hereabouts is much more
abundant than in the valley and we do
not suffer from heat and dust so much,
whilo the nights are pleasantly cool for
sleeping.
J. Doubledny and Mr. Spuulding have
returned from their trip to Douglas
county nnd Mr. Spuulding reports the
homesteaders as doing all they can upon
their places.
Ihe streams aro well patronized, but
the catches are not great, us the warm
weather does not encourage the fish
to bite. After a shower is tho time to
angle.
Frank Xetheiluud and Emerson
Wheeler are visiting in the valley.
It might be advisable for the gov
eminent to investigate the conduct of
some of the forest rangers ns to many
of the reports sent in from them. It is
lad that it is to the interest of
these men to throw everything into the
torest reserve, to keep themselves em
ployed by nu activity, apparently, for
tne Denetit of ttie government, but
really to promote themselves. They stir
up many troubles among the homestead
ers aud at great loss and expense to
the government. This stricture does not
ipply to all "rangers," but is well tak
en ns to some, if reports aro credible.
They have made much trouble, aud

GOLD BRICK FROM

Kx-f'ounty Commissioner J. T. Logan
was in from Waldo on Saturday taking
in the market day. lie brought with
him n valuable product of Josephine
soil in small bulk, but not for sale by

and u Hinall cone of gold, vulucfl nt
something over $2000, and represented

11 miles of ditch uml 12,0110 feet of
pipe. 1 hin mine has been n generous
producer for 14 years and is still one
of tho best placers in this mining dis
trict, i nn gold referred to above rep
resents only a part of tho product of
this season. Tho mine is on the (Irnnts
