SATURDAY - FEBRUARY 20. 18'JS
OUR NAVY PREPARED,
The war talk in the East is of n
considerably less conservative nature
than it is in the West. The eastern
journals are inclined to the view
that war is more than u possibility
and arc giving n good deal of atten
tion to the fighting condition of this
countrj. The Inter Ocean sizes u
our naval force as follows:
"One of our battleships is lost
We have three others at Tortugas
just below the Havana horizon
There are 1,500 sailors, Oghting mad
on them, ready to fire fifty large-
sized guns from the decks. The In
diana has sixteen of these guns, the
Iowa 18, the Massachusetts 1G, and
the Texas, now at Galveston, 8
Each of these ships has a crew of
about 450 men. With these battle
ships, in Admiral Sicard's squadron
is he armored cruiser 2?ew York
with eighteen gun? and nearby 500
men. Within call at Hampton
Roads is the Booklyn, nn improved
JJew York, foiemost in that grade of
warships in all the world, with
twenty guns and 500 men.
"In commission at Norfolk is that
queen of fighters, the monitor Pun
tan, with her ten guns, and at her
side is the monitor Terror, with her
four guns. At Port Royal is the
monitor Amphitrite, with six guns.
These three monitors muster clcse to
500 men in their crews. The world
has not improved on these ships in
lighting type. Others may steam
faster, may go farther, but none can
fight better than the monitors, and
the Puritan leads them all.
"luec at Tortugas is the cruiser
Marbleheacl, and at Mobile the
cruiser Detroit, unarmored but strong
and sinewy, each with ten guns and
each with 250 men. These vessels
might be shot through, and, although
their thin sides would be as so much
paper to the modern projectile, their
guns would make havoc in a bom
bardment or on vessels of their own
class. Their engines, the ' heart of
the warships anatomy, arc protected,
and onh a torpedo's blow would
atop the firing of their guns.
"At Tortugas or Havana we have
the torpedo boats Cushiug and Erics
son ; at Mobile we have the new tor
pedo boats Dupont and Porter; at
Norfolk we have the torpedo boat
1'ootc, and at New York is the tor
pedo boat Stiletto. On these vessels
are about 150 men. They deal with
the most deadly of modern weapons
of war.
"In the West Indies, within imme
diate reach, we have the Montgom
ery, with ten guns nnd 250 men,
now at Port Antonia, Jamaica, hav
ing left Santiago de Cuba, perhaps
fortunately, on Feb. 10th. The
Nashville is at Galveston. She has
eight guns and 150 men. The Now
port, six gun's and liiu men, is at
Colon; the Vicksburg, six guns and
135 men, is at St. Kitts: the Wheel
ing, six guns and 135 men is nt La
Guayrn.
"So much for the warships injeom
missiou and within immediate sti ik
ing distance. They represent twon-ty-threo
vessels, with nearly 200
high-power guns in the main bat
teries, to say nothing of . the secondary
batteries and the hundred or more
torpedoes with which the vessels are
supplied, and they carry fully 5,000
men, the bravest, sturdiest fighters in
nny nnvy,
"Our ships have powder nnd pro
jectiles. Our plans nf fighting hnvc
been nintie; week after week, mid
far into into the nights, the navnl au
thorities at Washington have boon
making nrrnngcnicnls to moot nny
attack from Spain. If trouble conies
it will find the administration prepared."
GOOD ROADS AGAIN.
Whether or not the proposed rail-
! road is built from The Dalles to
j Sherman count', our business men
must not lose sight of the ncccssitv
of having a good system of roads
leading into the interior. During
the past winter the condition of the
highway? leading to this city 1ms
been horrible, and trade has been
quiet because farmers could not
draw produce to town to sell or ex
change for merchandise. Especially
bad have been tho roads near The
Dalles, and this season has demon
strated that the main thoroughfares
need some scientific treatment.
The Commercial Club has this
matter in hand, and we may expect
good results to follow. Even should
a rai'road be built from here to
Sherman county, there will always be
considerable travel by wagon routes,,
provided the road is kept in good
condition.
Whatever plan the committee of
the Commercial Club has in view,
we trust it will have the hearty in
doisement of our citizens and if it
needs be that money be spent, it
should be done willingly, as the re
turns tviil exceed many times the
investment.
J. M. Thirswend, of Urosbeck, Texas,
says that when lie haB a spell of indi
gestion, and feels bad nnd sluggish, he
takes two of DeWitt's Little Early Ris
ers at night, and he is all right, the next
morning. Many thousands of others do
the same thinir. Do you? Snipes

Americana Dance AVell.
Americans are the best dancers in the
world. Fays Carl Marwip. The Russians
come second and the Spaniards third.
The Trench nnd Germans do not count.
When Americans dance abroad every
one else stops dancing1 to watch theru.
A leader of cotiltions, Mr. "Marwip be
lieves, is born, not made, lie must
have a certain mental cleverness and
quickness. His figures must be de
veloped as the dance progresses. They
must be simple, as well as attractive,
and the man who is not a born cotillion
leader will not make th dance a suc
