Battleship Designer Calls the
Ships "Fleet cf Floating
Absurdities."
ARMOR AND GUNS FAULTY
fcays if Naval Engineers Were Con
sulted, Rather Than Bureaus,
Our Navy Would Lead Great
Britain, Not Lag Behind.
SAX FRANCISCO. Jan. 23. (Special.)
Georce W. Dickie, formerly of the Union
Iron Works, the man who designed the
famous fighter, the battleship Oregon,
toulfe'iit at a dinner of the Metal Trades'
Association, in a sensational speech, de
nounced the bureau chiefs of the Navy
Department and referred to the armada
now on the way to the Pacific as a
"fleet of fioatlng absurdities." Dickie
said, in part:
The board of eonstruftion at the Navy
Dcpartim-i.t Ir resaonflhle lor Blving the
country a llect of floating absurdities that
Is now on itl way to the i'ac Uir t:oaat. Tills
board is rompo 11 of start and line officers.
These human lielnss. for naval officers are
' after all human l( Ins". althmiBh of a su
perior grade, actually anil deliberately placed
armor brim mi our batucs'.iiDi under the
water, or nearly so.
Thy danger of destruction by an effective
shot at the mater line I? by geltinc: it be
low the armor belt, throiis'i the vessel, cx
poslni; her sides by rolline and not t.vin
being hit above the belt where the armor is
not 'Heavy, but where netialion would
be above the protected deck.
(inns Also rlaecd Wrons.
Th niacins of turret tuns over the shaft
leading to the maaaziiics Id the natural po
rtion for such suns relative to the rnana
jilnes but It is very dinmerous. The main
batters' should be all on one i.lane and as
hlKh as uosoible with the stability avail-
bThere la a great deal of truth in the
statement that the lulled states Navy Is
built, equipped and operated by bureaus.
The criticisms of the Navy all come back
to these bureaus. They are where the
criticisms are to be acted upon, a case of
practically both Judge and defendant. Nat
urally they acquit the defendant and nat
urally this kills the crltlcsm. ;
It would be a grand thing tor this coun
try l this bureau of construction would
listen to the suggestions in naval designs
from those on the outside, for I believe that
if tho bureau would take the best naval
architects and shipbuilding talent of the
country Into Its councils we would be abreast
of Circut Hrltaln Instead of lagging behind.
Rejection of Plans.
In 1000 the Secretary of the Navy was
instructed to invite competent naval con
structors and architects to submit plans and
spectflcatlons for a stt.Ooo.tKiO battleship to
be as powerful In armor and armament as
any known vessel. 1 accepted an invitation.
I provided for an armor belt 11 Inches thick
and la feet 0 Inches wide, eight feet of
which was below the load water line. VI
lU-inch guns for the main battery and 20
5-inch guns for secondary battery. The de
sign was worked out for burning oil and In
doing so I had In mind the great supply of
this fuel on the Pacltlc. My plans were re
jected and I received a notice In some de
tail from the Naval Department. I found
later that the plans of an Eastern naval
arohitect had also been rejected and al
though our plans were not alike, the letters
of rejection were exactly alike.
PIT VP MONITOR AS TARGET
Xavy Department Decides to Make
Gun Practice More Ileal.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.".. Encouraged
by the valuuble results believed to have
been obtained by the British Admiralty
in the spectacular sinking of the old
battleship Hero by modern gun fire
lately, the Navy Department has deter
mined upon a similar experiment, though
not one to be carried out to the same
point. A single-turreted monitor is to
be made a target for the big 12-inch
rifles of a battleship, and the experiment
will take place in the waters of Chesa
peake Buy or the Potomac River. It is
not the purpose to destroy the monitor
which was built only about 10 years ago,
but the gun fire will be directed against
one of her turrets. Much mechanism is
contained in in the turret and informa
tion is desired as to the effect, of ac
tual gun fire upon, this controlling ma
chinery.
MONEY IN FISH INDUSTRY
Value of Pacific Coast .. Pack for
1907 Rcai-hcs 925,000,000.
S BATTLE. Wash.. Jan. 23. (Special.)
Kxcellent progress has been made in the
fisheries industry of the Pactnc Coast
during the past year, the value of the
products during 1907 footing up to $25,000.
000. according to statistics gathered by
the Paeltlo Fisherman.
The pack of canned salmon during 1907
for the whole coast was 4,01o,ltS9 cases, as
compared, with 3,S17.olo cases for 190S.
There was a decrease of 161.873 cases of
reds as compared with 190li. also of 1:17.427
in sockeyes. The puck of pinks and
chums was 4o7,4cO cases larger than last
year and exceeded that of any previous
year. Tho .pack in Alaska has been ex
ceeded in only one other year, that of
1902. when. the big Pacific Packing & Navi
gation Company was in its palmy days,
tho output that season being some 260.000
cases higher.
In British Columbia, the output was
considerably below normal, due to the
depletion of the Frasor River fisheries.
Columbia River also shows a reduced
pack, largely due, however, to the fact
that the Chinook salmon, which is most
plentiful in that stream, is in heavy
demand by mild euro packers.
Halibut fishing has made most remark
able gains during the past year.
The codfish production showed a slight
falling off from 1SHW, caused by the arbi
trary action of the Russian government
In driving a part of the Sail Francisco
fleet off the Siberian Coast grounds.
The detailed figures of valuation of Fa
cine Coast lish products for 1907 aro as
follows: ,

WIND-UP OF THE CLEARANCE
OF EAST SIDE PHONOGRAPH
CO.'S STOCK AT EILERS
Balance of Modern Talking Machines
and High-Grade Record Cabinets to
Be Closed Out Without Regard to
Usual Selling Prices $25 Machines
for $11.65, and Higher-Priced Ones
in Proportion Finest $122 De Luxe
Complete Outfits Cut to $78 Cash
or Easy Terms.
Talking machines have never been
sold at such ridiculous prices in Port
land before, as have been in effect
during the past week at KHers Piano
House, and as will be continued for a
few days more, during the final
clean-up of the East Side Phonograph
Company's stock. But we were de
termined that these goods should be
sold in a very short space of time, and
the radical cuts which we made in
prices have certainly accomplished
our object. When we offer a regular
$-'5 high-grade modern "talking ma
chine for $11.65, that's going some; and
$35 machines for $16.70; with $50 ma
chines cut to $27.10, and beautiful $65
machines at $35 just think of it! No
wonder the talking-machine market
has been upset during the past week.
But it won't last much longer just
about five or six days more will see
the last of this stock. Remember,
every machine in this stock is includ
ed in the radical price reductions ex
cept certain contract goods.
Record cabinets are also embraced In
this sensational smashing of selling
cost, and are likewise priced at fig
ures which are really loss than whole
sale Regular $15 cabinets, well-made,
handsome and first-class, are now
marked $8.3 0. $25 cabinets go for
$13.60, $30 cabinets for $16.65, and
higher-priced cabinets on the same
baMs.
Included in the offerings for the
next few days is a combination outfit,
which is without question the finest
proposition you have ever heard of in
the talking-machine line, and the
greatest value in a high-grade outfit
over offered on the Pacific Coast, Thi3
consists of the splendid De Luxe Cab
inet, with high-grade tapering-arm
machine, and one dozen ten-Inch
records, all complete, regular value
$1 22, for the extraordinary price of
$7S. cash or easy terms, as you prefer.
This is an outfit which will be a
credit to any home, and as handsome
an article in the way of a cabinet as
one could wish for. It needs to be
seen to be fully appreciated. -
Do not overlook our iinm.ise stock
of records remember, we carry the
largest line on the Coast, and our indi
vidual sound-proof parlors are the
most convenient in trie city.
Don't miss- this great sale. It will
never be duplicated. Don'.t wait until
the last minute come while the line
of styles is still complete. Eilers

tion closes with nearly 600 in attend
ance. The next congress will be htiid
at Cheyenne.
This congress has created a perma
nent salaried secretaryship, inaugurat
ed a system of annual dues and life
memberships and established a bureau
of information which will instruct the
membership in all discoveries and de
velopments in the science of arid land
culture.
Tho congress has been very modest
in its requests for legislation. A law
increasing the acreage of homestead
in the arid region from 160 to 320
acres; the establishment of more ex
perimental farms by the states and
the boring of experimental wells at
state expense are the principal things
asked. The congress refused to be
drawn into the warfare that has arisen
over the forestry policy of the Gov
ernment, although an attempt was
made to bring the matter up for de
bate. Technical points of great value have
been brought out in the relation it
the actual experiences of practical
men. Alternate cropping and fallow
ing of dry land was generally indorsed.
Deep plowing and frequent cultivation
were Insisted, upon and one of the
Utah delegates today convinced the
farmers that there is more danger of
overseedlng than of underseeding in
planting wheat. Forty pounds to tfie
acre was the exact amount recommend
ed by the speaker.
The. proceedings of the congress,
including all addresses delivered, w!ll
be mailed to all affiliated members,
otherwise those who pay the annual
membership, fee.
LEAVES $80.30 IN BANK
Tills Sum Overlooked by Abscond
ing Blaine Cashier.
FRLUNGHAM. Wash.. Jan. 25. O. C.
Mathias, absconding cashier of the de
funct Exchange Bank of Blaine, which
suspended a week ago, was arrested
this morning in Ashcroft, B. C. He
agrees to waive extradition and return
and try to straighten out the bank's
affairs. Receiver Whltcomb succeeded
in opening the safe inside the vault
last night and found $80.30, all the cash
representing $10,000 in deposits.
BELLINGHAM. Wash., Jan. 25. Six
informations were filed yesterday after
noon by County Prosecutor Hurd against
A. J. Schaffer and Jacob . Youngblood,
owners of the Bank of Hamilton, Skagit
County, which suspended payment early
in November last. Two informations
charge of larceny by embezzlement and
four the receipt of deposits after the
bank was known to be insolvent. The
men were arrested today. The concern
was the only bank in the Upper Skagit
Valley and hundreds had all their ready
cash on deposit with it and have been
left absolutely penniless by the failure.
The affairs of the bank are in bad shape,
there being practically no assets. It is
alleged that depositors will not receive
a cent of their, money.

her former husband in Chicago, June 22,
1906. and was married to Mr. Schroter in

this session until after the Presidential

It was reported that something like 100
New Mexicans have been getting ready
for a trip to Washington to importune
Congress for a statehood bill this Winter.
It is asserted that Governor Curry and
Mr. Luna have agreed to recommend that
the movement be held In check. There
have been some informal conferences be
tween Senator Beveridge. Chairman of the
Senate territorial committee. Speaker
Cannon and leaders in the Senate. While
it is stated that no definite assurance has
been given to the New Mexicans as to a
statehood bill in the next session of Con
gress, it Is admitted that no statehood
legislation will take place at this session.
The House committee on territories will
begin hearings next Tuesday on the state
hood bill, and members ' of the New
Mexico statehood league now In Washing
ton will appear. Chairman Hamilton,
however, has remarked that he "does not
think these hearings will take up much
time.
It is reported that Governor Curry was
informed by Speaker Cannon that in the
Speaker's opinion it would not be wise to
press the statehood question too vigorous
ly on the eve of a Presidential campaign.

ending June 30, 1S09. This will be about
J7.000.000 in excess of the pension roll of
the present fiscal year. The increase is
largely due to the provisions of the Mc

and they were dismissed today.
Several manufacturing plants in Tarry
