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.

UNCLE SAM TAKING STOCK.
Will soon lie Able to IXlmute He
sources of United States.
Washington, July 30. "Three
rivers at ten mlllipns apiece. Got It?
" 'Steen forest reserves at a couple
of millions each."
"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

the bedroom fireplaces was fitted with

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

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. Cer.brsl Embolism.
Cerebral embolism, or tho occlusion
or plugging of an artery In the brain,
causes sudden death. Growths or veg
etations form on the valves of the
heart While attached they are kirm
less, but the Instant one, large or sm;v!l,
becomes loosened and enters the rupid
arterial current a very perilous condi
tion obtains. The embolus, or piup,
enters a vessel that becomes narrower
and nurrower nnd nt last It is arrested
and occludes or plugs tho artery, there-
hv euttlnc off the blood supply, me
force of the blood current back of the
emlioliis keens It at the Beat of arrest
In brain cases the middle cerebral ar
tery, at tho base of tho brain, Is af
fptted. Once lodtred. unconsciousness
follows and soon death. Some of the
svmntoms resemble those of a true
cerebral hemorrhaga or apoplexy.
