Frank Lilly, a Benton county boy and son of Norm Lilly, has bought the ; interest of his partner in the hardware store at LaGrande Oregon and will go it alone in the business. Frank is a bright, active young man, always attentive to business and his many friends will "be 'pleased to hear of his success. Frank Shazegreen came up from Portland Saturday to look after busi ness matters and renew his acquaint ance with old-time friends. It has been two years since he was here and he spoke of the wonderful growth the town has made during that time. " He is engaged in the grocery business at Portland and seems pleased with his new location. ' Frank Bullis, the Philomath mail car rier, met with a serious and painful ac cident Saturday. On arriving at Philo omath and while unhitching his team one of the horses kicked him on the thigh j breaking the bone. 1 A phone message was sent to Corvallis and Dr. Pernot went after the unfortunate man in his auto and brought him to his home m Job s addition. A consultation of physicians, consisting of Drs. Johnson, Pernot and Cathey, decided that ampu tion was necessary and the leg was ta ken off near the thigh. The patient stood the operation nicely and was rest ing comfortably this morning. For many years Mr. Bullis has been a crip ple, walking on crutches, the leg that was amputated being a useless append age. It was exceedingly fortunate that the accident happened to this leg oth erwise he would have been left in a helpless condition. If no complications arise the accident will prove a blessing in disguise.

There was a pretty wedding celebra ted at one o'clock yesterday afternoon out at the Wilson dairy farm, the happy couple being Armel J. Wilson and Miss Ella West. Rev. J. R. N. Bell officia ted at tlje nuptial ceremony. There were about 20 guests present and an old fashioned bountiful wedding dinner was served. The bride and groom re ceived many fine presents and the con gratulations of , their numerous f riends Eaaies' matches Heed Constant Repairing Their method of carrying them is .responsible for the fact.

The sixteen battleships of the At lantic fleet will go from the navy yards, where they are now' being over hauled and docked, on June 15 radical ly changed in outward appearance. The vessels will practically be in a condition for action to a degree which has never before prevailed in the na val service In time of peace and when there has been no prospect of war. These important changes are mainly the result of. experience gained during the .circumnavigating cruise of the fleet, which Secretary Meyer says cost the government $1,500,000 above what would have been the cost of mainte nance and operation had the ships re mained in home waters. The most conspicuous change which the civilian observer will recognize is in the color of the vessels. The hull, small boats and, indeed, all of the ex posed portions will be of a shade de scribed as dull gray, without the luster to reflect the sun or otherwise add to the prominence of the ship. It Is the color decided upon by the experts as least likely, to attract attention and as possessing the greatest degree of in visibility. This idea has been carried out by the removal of all the brass fit tings, even to the doorknobs, and in cludes the abandonment of the bow ornaments and the gilt letters of the ships' names. . The removal of the bow ornaments is justified not only as a means of tak ing from the ship a conspicuous fea ture, but as accomplishing a reduc tion in the weight carried by each ves sel. The policy is to reduce these weights so as to bring each vessel down to .fighting trim, carrying only those things of practical value in at tack, which is considered before the factor of defense. There has been an elimination of some of the boats car ried by the battleships, with the .sub stitution of motor for row or sail boats, so that time may be saved and the burden reduced. It is in this con nection that there has been a removal of what is known as top hamper. Much of the material which has hith erto made the main deck of a battle ship an overcrowded platform' bas been placed below deck, out of -sight and range of an enemy's shots, or has been entirely eliminated. .Another; feature . which has been tried out successfully is the method of carrying ammunition. Some of this will be stored in the turret, where it will be conveniently at hand and where it is considered quite as safe to those who handle it as if it "were stored in the shell rooms below the turret. This makes possible an emer gency supply or projectiles, with-a saving in the time of handling and a corresponding increase in the rapidity of fire. The problem of taking care of powder has engaged expert -attention, and there is now being adopted a sys tem of cooling the magazines so that there can be maintained a uniformity of temperature as a protection against accidental ignition: A conspicuous change Is the installa tion of the fire control masts andthe removal of the old military masts. The new structures are of steel pip ing, so interlaced as to resist attack and remain in position, no matter If the enemy, succeeds in hitting the mast and cutting the metal in many places. . The platforms at the top are to be used by the range finders in de termining the distance from the ene my. ' This' requires an elaborate sys tem of electrical communication, which is also being installed and which will be tried out during the target practice to be held - in August or, September, probably off the Virginia capes. Electricity is being used to a greater extent than ever before, and much of the mechanism on board the ships is now to be controlled in that way. This is especially so in the turning of the turrets, which can be regulated to a degree hitherto impossible and with a nicety of movement that renders it possible to describe the complete arc of the turret at so deliberate a rate as to be' imperceptible to an observer. The searchlights have been taken from the positions they have hitherto occu pied and been hung on. the skeleton masts. In the coming maneuvers it is purposed to ascertain if these positions are the most effective, and some twelve or fifteen of the torpedo boats will be used in 'exercises In conjunction with the big ships. , , Many changes will be made in the superstructure of the ships,; and wher ever possible the temporary bridges and cabins will be removed. It Is probable that some of these structures will be replaced, but it is desired In the coming summer to ascertain what can be permanently omitted .with' ad vantage in the ' maneuvering ' of : the ships. Internally many minor changes will be made. :-These are a few of the changes be ing made on the ships of the Atlantic fleet and .which will be made next year on the ships' of the Pacific fleet ; It means the placing of the .battleships ipf the American navy in a condition : for battle without the trouble' and con fusion- of. throwing overboard -.all jthe things which would have to be aban doned when going into action.
