Will He Completed Next January lluilt of Concrete Tlirougtiout 12, 260 Oregon Fir Piles Driven From 20 to 40 Fm Under Water Into 20 or 40 Feet of Mud. Washington, July 30. The U.450,- 000 dry dock for the Mare Island navy yard, now in' course of construc tion at Vallejo, Cal., will be completed iu January. Francis B. Smith, constructing en gineer for the contractors, was In Washington this week conferring with officials of the navy department. The new dock will be of concrete through out, and Smith talks Interestingly of the difficulties which the contractors have encountered. "In the foundation of the dock," he said, "we used 12,260 piles of Ore gon fir, driven 40 feet under waUr Into from 20 to 40 feet of earth. Up on that foundation we built a concrete dock but only after repeated fail ures. 'The construction of a dock of this size and character Is a prodigious undertaking. The contractors which 1 represent are the second ones to take hold of the matter, and already the dock has been In process of con struction for nine years." Smith brings with him to Washing, ton the coast antipathy to the Japs, and is enthusiastically for the further fortification of the Pacific gateway to America. Still, he naively remarks.

"Forty-eleven thousand acres of mineral lands at " But no matter about the details. Uncle Sam Is taking stock of his natu ral resources and In a few months, for the first time in history, he will be able to estimate closely Just about how much he Is worth. The national conservation commit tee, appointed by President Roosevelt less than two months ago, has been mighty busy and the work Is being pushed with such rapidity that it is expected that President Roosevelt will have a complete Invoice of Uncle Sam's resources by the first of next year. A large amount of material embrac ing the subject of conservation waters, forests, lands and minerals already is available in the various ex ecutive departments, the heads of which have offered hearty co-operation In the great task the commission has undertaken. Other Important data will be collected through special channels, Including state, conservation commissions now being formed, and some of the great national organiza tions represented at the White House conference recently. By early fall the commission ex pects to have In hand sufficient ma terial to begin the study of the Inven tory of the country's resources, and by the middle of October, It hopes to have the greater part of this material In hand, so that the full commission which will hold its first meeting De cember 1, may at once take up the study of the facts the summer's work has brought together. One week later the commission will hold a joint meeting In Washington with the governors of the states, or their representatives, with the view of securing further and closer co-operation with the various state commissions. Washington, July 30. A new Issue may arise In the coming presidential campaign, owing to the alleged de cision of Secretary Cortelyou to post pone the redemption of the 3 per cent SpauUh war bonds when they Tall due day after tomorrow. It Is stated on good authority that Mr. Cor telyou, for various reasons, has de cided to allow the bonds to run on lor an Indefinite period before re deeming them or refunding them Into 2 per cent bonds! It Is certain that such a course, if finally decided upon, will result in a good deal of criticism and that the opponents of the admin istration will not overlok the oppor tunity for making political capital out of It. It Is alleged on behalf of Sec retary Cortelyou that the bonds can not be refunded to a good advantage at this time and that he does not con sider It advisable to purchase them for the sinking fund. There are about 165.000,000 of the bonds outstanding, a total of nearly I2U0.000.000 having been issued dur- Ingthe Spanish wur to run ten years. Most of the bonds are In the hands of the treasurer of the United States In trust as security for" the circula tion of national banks. To continue them after August 1 will necessitate the payment of close to 12,000,000 a year In Interest. Converted Into 2 per cent bonds, which the secretary has authority to do, the annual Inter est charge would be J1.300,000. Paid off altogether the government would be saved further Interest. Bryan Will Critic!.. It is regarded as practically a cer tainty that the democratic campaign management, probably Mr. Bryan himself, will criticise the failure to pay off the bonds, If they should be left outstanding after August 1. Sec retary Cortelyou's reasons for delay' Ing their purchase are said to be numerous, but the democratic critl clsm will be based upon the plain allegation that the government has plenty of cash on hand to pay them off, thus retiring the bonded indebted ness, and that they are continued for the benefit of the national banks. The working balance of the treasury at this time Is 164,000.000. That Is, the various vaults contain that much money, not in use, except to meet daily expenditures, which are at pres ent largely to excess of revenues. The $&4,000,000 will meet deficits Xor many weeks to come, as well as many months. But the treasury has a large available cash balance in national bank depositaries. These institutions now hold $138,777,462 of government money, besides another $11,000,000 as balances for disbursing officers. The banks could be called upon without serious detriment at this time. It Is pointed out, for sufficient money to pay off the 3 per cents, If refunding was not considered. Kvery .day the treasury Is making advances out of Its cash to the Pana ma canal, and It Is simply a question of waiting for a propitious occasion before putting more Panama bonds upon the market to meet the balance due and to provide funds for continu ing work. The Remedy That Docs. "Dr. King's New Discovery Is the remedy that does the healing others promise, but fall to perform," says Mrs. E. R. Plerson, of Auburn Center, Pa. "It Is curing me of throat and lung trouble of long standing, that other treatments relieve only tem porarily. New Discovery is doing me so much that I feel confident Its con tinued use for a reasonable length of time will restore me to perfect health." This renowned cough and cold remedy and throat and lung healer Is sold at Tallman & Co.'s drug store. 60c and $1.00. Trial bottle free. Costly Jar cf th9 Subway. , The tuiu'i'iiii; ttijo.

The blower rest ed on a aeries of Iron notches. One afleruoon a servant kindled a fire In tho grnto and when it was well alight raised the blower, so that the coal would burn but slowly, nnd so left it whllo suo weut downstairs. Presently, deep In the clay beneath' the founda tions of the house, a train rushed along. The vibrations from Its passing were sutllclent to Jnr the blower from tho notches on which tho servant hud loft It It dropped dowu. The draft In creased; the fire raged madly. The flames were enough to set tho chimney on fl, burning soot set the water tank on tho roof alight, and there resulted a considerable conflagration. Pittsburg Post, A Girl and a 8nake. It Is a matter of fact that men have greater fe;v of serpents than have wo men. Dunug a visit to friends In the country I was crossing a stretch of meadow iu the company of my hostess duughter, a sprightly girl of seveuteen, when a black suake crossed the path ten feet lu front of us. I caught my companion by tho sleeve, but she wrenched herself loose, gathered her skirts about her knees, gave a running Jump and lauded squarely upon the back of the reptile. Ills snakeshlp thrashed the grass and the girl's ankles with equal futility. As soon as she could disengage one foot she planted It upon the serpent's head. In the ab sence of club or stones I was com pelled to stand and witness a scene that to me was terrifying, but to the girl furnished supreme enjoyment Years afterward when 1 read Hag gard's description of Jess' fight with the kangaroo I understood the kind of entertulnmeut that my young compan ion had provided for me. Brooklyn Eagle. There's a Hare In the Moon. Equally famous with the man In the moon and the woman In tho moon la iha ham In the moon, savs Garrett P. fcervlss In his "Astronomy With the Naked Eye." The original is a uua dhlst legend. The god Sakkrla, dls inilsml as a Brahman, pretended to be starving and went to the animals for help. The monkey got him a bunch of mangoes; the coot picked up a nsner man nettlected string for him; the fox stole him a pot of milk. At last the god approached the hare. "I have nothing but grass," said the hare, "and you can't eat that" "But your flesh Is good," suggested the pretended Brah man. The hare assented. "Then," said the Brahman, "I'll kindle a Are at the f Jbt of this rock, and you Jump off Into It That'll save me the trouble of kill ing you." The hare assented again, but as he leaped from the rock the god caught him In his arms and then drew bis figure In the moon as a perpetual reminder of the excellence of self sac rifice.
