Vibration of Firing Cracks Several Guns nnd Damages Vessels' Decks. Washington, Oct. 18. As antici pated by many naval officers hero, the Atlantic battleship fleet has re turned from target practice off Cape Cod bay badly shaken by the firing of the heavy guns. Reports are com ing fast, to the department' of the damage done to the lddivldual-ships, and there is some apprehension that the navy department's idea to have the fleet in prime condition by De cember 1 may not be realized. The structural weaknesses in parts of the ships, which seem unable to with stand the vibration caused by the gun firing, is again forcibly brought home. It is believed considerable ad ditional work will not be necessary in case the fleet is to be started out on a war footing. For some time the firing and many of the battleships return ing from target practice have notified the navy department that more work is needed than they anticipated. This has led Secretary Metcalf to order that repair work be rushed. GOVERNMENT DREDGE FOR BAY Several Visitors from North North Bend at Last Night's C. of C. Meeting.

FORGETS THE OTHER' SIDE Peter IiOggio Also Addressed Meeting -Personello of North Rend Committee. Eugene, Or., Oct. 18. The case of the Lucky Boy mining company vs. the county of Lane, in which the company claimed $7000 damages through the establishment by the county road from Blue River City to the Blue River mines, has been dismissed in the circuit court at Rosoburg, the case having been ta ken to Douglas county on a change of vonue. The dismissal of the case was on account of tho company's falling to appear and prosecute. About a year ago the county es stablishcd a public road five or six miles long between Blue River City and the mines over what the com- i pany claimed was a private road ofi belonging to it, which was the only heavy guns has caused trouble to the throughfare leading Into the mines, department. The bureau of ordnance The viewers of the county allowed has been kept busy repairing guns'the C0,nPany no damages, and the "hici luuK. uiu cubb imu circuit. which have given way or cracked or had their muzzles blown off, and the bureau of construction and repair has- repeatedly been called upon to remedy damage done to the decks and other portions of the ships after target practice. ' The battleship Missouri after fir ing her heavy turret guns at once at ' level recently damaged tho deck so that more than $1,000 had to be ex pended to repair it. Now the Ohio Is damaged and a crack has been dis-. covered in the powder chamber of one of her 12-Inch .guns, which may - cause the department embarrass ment.

It was continued over two terms and taken to Douglas county on a change of venue. Before tho establishment of the road by the county there had been a great deal of trouble with the Lucky Boy company about keeping the road open. For several months they blockaded the road so that no teams besides their own could enter the mining district, and the only way supplies could be transported to the numerous camps was to pack them In, over a precipitous trail. The'road, has been open ever since the matter was taken to the courts and is' now declared a county high way.11 . '",- ' EJNEDOR PACKING1'- WITHOUT LICENSE 0-X tice!

Secretary Lyon was absent and his place was occupied by G. W. Carleton who was inspired by the secretary's example and furnished an entertainment which was quite up to the standard. Several members of the North Bend chamber were present and two of them, Judge Guerry and Hon. Peter Loggle, made speeches, which were Interesting and Instructive. Before calling on the speakers President Mc Cormac called for commltteero ports. Mr. Clarke of tho committee on con solidation reported that his commit tee was at the North Bend chamber and made a presentation of the sub ject of consolidation on tho borough plan and It seemed to him that the plan was favored. At any rate, he said, tho commltteo was received very cordially and treated 'A respectfully. The North Bend chamber appointed a committee to confer with the Marshfleld committee, composed of Messrs. Raab, Gardiner, Gale, Whis nant and Backey. This committee would meet the Marshfleld committee in Marshfleld Tuesday evening next at the Chamber of Commerce rooms. Mr. B. F.

Chicago, Oct. 18 Money Is like liquid, tho moment you placo an ob struction in front of it it causes dim inution of tho flow. This is one of the new financial aphorisms to which E. H. Harriman, who came to Chicago to battle with Stuyvesant Fish, gave utterance whon asked to express his ideas about the future of the country. "This obstruction," he said, "has been plnced in front of a liquid stream of money and it has al ready caused a serious check in its flow. This obstruction Is apprehen sion which has run llko a prairie fire through the land and permeated the minds of the people. It has been caused partially, if not entirely, by Lthe aggregate millions against corpo rations in general and railroads in particular and it will last until the people awaken to the fact that we must have a saner comprehension up on these Important subjects." Asked If he looked for any serious effect from the rapidly changing con ditions in the financial and railroad world, Harriman replied: "No, I do not. I think the country too great and too prosperous to have a money panic." Harriman was asked if ho really thought that the alleged difficulty in raising capital was not largely In the Imagination of those who gave expression to tho thought. "By no means," h,o replied. "The difficulty In raising money Is real and not a fancied one. Ask any merchant whom you should chance tq meet. why It Is he Is not carrying 'as -large a .stock as was his custom. He. will re ply it Is' because of. his inability to raise sufficient cash to. carry'a larger slock. There s a general Jaqk. of accommodation everywhere in.. the' United States and It is not confined to this, country. I dp not, fear .any serious results, however, .because' it Wardens Cal Wright and Glen Aiken arrived home Thursday night from an extended trip through Curry county. They wore absent for near ly three weeks, and during the time were unable to find any positive evi dence of the game laws being vio lated. They encountered rumors, as Is usually tho case, but those who claim to know of the matters will not come forward and glvo testimony when it comes down to a slt. They have trace or three men who nre making a practice of running deer with dogs and hope to land them be fore the season Is over. Mr. Wright said that they had been forty miles up tho Rogue river, hal followed for a number of miles the following creeks: Ro.sk and Johnson, and tho Sixes river. Dur iDg the entire trip Mr. Wright hoofed It and never rode a foot of the dis tance. He came home feeling fine r.nd without a sore muscle. So far as they learned, there had not been an elk killed during this season In Curry county. They saw no elk on the trip. There Is, however, a flno band of elk In Curry county, consist ing of about GO animals, but though they learned where they are, they nre nqt telling anybody of their lo cation. They got Into Coquille late Thursday, and came over In tho night. Mr. Aiken had a pack ani mal and Mr. Wright kept up his reputation as a pedestrian, walking Into Marshfleld from that city.

Mr. Loggie's address" was ex ceedingly, interesting ppd gave the people present some information which was greatly relished.. He as sured them that tho dredgp. wa, a certainty but said it would be a great mistake to tHrow It back to the gqv- ornnient again without use. The peopje of Coos Bay should, do somq- thlng to get thq dredge. They would have ,to provide a way to rise money for Hs use. He. na.a .inaucea the congressional committee tp re port favorably, on the proposition by telling them that tho legislature would, at its next session (1907) create a harbor commission for Cpos Bay and that this would have po.wer to raise the money to operate tho dredge. It was Important that some thing be done. Chairman Burton of the rivers and harbor committee, was especially Jntere.s.tqd in, the prospect that a depth of 4 Of eel, poujd be obr talned on the bar and In. the bay. "This," said Chairman Burton, "Is what the committee has been look ing for, because It is of tho utmost importance that ttio government get a good harbor which will admit the largest ships on thp, Pacfic coast north of poldon Gate."

Harriman picked up, his chair apd carrying it to tho end of tho press table, sat down wltjl thp remark, "I think you gentlemen can do moro,'to settle this railroad situation than anybody else." When asked, fqr an explanation, he said: "You can do it by rofuslpg to print ono"sldo of a proposition untH you have seen tho man on the other side and let him have his say at tho same time.

It Is thp first impression that counts. Very often tho railroad has not been ablo to rep)y for weeks, nnd then the denial Is passed by un noticed. Printing thp chargp and de nial together," Harriman asserted, "would do away with much of the HI feeling now created against tho rail roads."
