Provi&iors for Ship,
This provision for the new American
sea fighter Is In line with the desire
of the President and the earat re
commendation of Admiral Dewey,
who recently appeared lefore the
Naval Committee of the House and
gave a spirited talk In support of his
views as to the necessity or con
structing larger nnd more powerful
battleships for the Amerleim Navy
At the time the naval estimates were
made up last fall. Secretary Bonaparte
was opposed to any such Increase, bet
he has since come around to the side
of the President, and 1 now heartily
In favor of the committee proposition.
The naval experts In Washington
have long leen convinced that the
HUMiO-ton battle ship Michigan and
South Carolina, nuthorlied by the last
Congress, represent the limit of posd
blllty ou a displacement not decidedly
greater. ,To go Iteyond, In any ap
preciable degree, the fighting elllclency
of such ships. It will be necessary to
have not only more powerful arma
ment, but higher speed and greater
steaming radius, to gain which there
must be heavier and more powerful
machinery and grentor coal-carrying
capacity.
The displacement of the Dread
naught Is but 2.000 tons greater than
thnt of the Michigan or the South
Carolina. Naval construction ex-
THE NEW
This Will be the Most
pert say that an addition of 2.000 tons
to the displacement of the American
ships Is Insufficient to accomplish all
three of tho factors necessary to ma
terially Improve upon them, nnd the
Increase would bo entirely consumed
by the provision for any one of these
factors, The extra guns would take
1 all, as would the extra machinery

fieewsnry to develop high speed, or
the greater bunker capacity essential
to wider steaming radius. They point
out that In the Dreadnaoght It was at
tempted to preserve two of these
factors, gun power and speed, but that
to do so It was necessary to sacrifice
the armor protection, which they be
lieve such a butMilp should have.
No Limit to Cost.
No sacrifice In armament, speed, or
steaming radius will have to be made
In designing the new Constitution,
The only limitation placed upon the
ts-cretary of the Navy by the Naval
Affairs Committee Is that ber bull and
machinery shall not cost more than
$i;,fX),0x. The provision for the bat
tl4shlp Michigan and South. Carolina,
now the largest ships building for the
navy, was $.00,K)0 each, and ther
I no doubt In the minds of the mem
1st of the committee that If the
Secretary decide to go to 20.0fK) tons
or Iwyond, the extra $2,000,000 now
provided will easily accomplish It
It I estimated that the armor and
armament for the ship will cost some
where In the neighborhood of $1,50,
000 la addition to the bull and ma
chinery, and that other fitting will
bring the total for the new Constitu
tion up approximately to $10,000,000.
The Dreadnought Is planned to
carry ten 12-lnch rifles. The Michi
gan and South Carolina are to carry
eight 12-Inch guns. The. Dreadnaught ,
will le able to concentrate six guru
for low or stern fire, with eight on
either broadside, while the American
ships can use four guns dead ahead or
dead astern, and all eight ahead or
astern on a quartering fire, with all
eight on either broadside. So thai Is
point of fire they are nearly as ef
ficient as the Dreadmught, which ex
cels materially only la the single
point of speed. To counterbalance
Into the American Bhlps have the de
cided advantage In armor protection.
The Advantage of Guns
The Constitution will bave as high
rpeed as the Dreadnaught, and tue
'louble advantage over the British
d)lp of greater gun power and more
tomplete armor protection. She will
is? more ablo to Inflict blows and bet
ter able to withstand them. She will
carry twelve 12-lnch rifles, so ar
ranged that she can concentrate eight
of them In firing dead ahead or dead
astern, or off the bow or quarter, and
ten on cither broadside. .

for Paper-Making: te Future
Generations.
When cue stops to think of the
tremendous and almost magic growth
of the distant West it seems strange
that such an old state as Maine U still
largely unknown and unsettled.
Almost Immediately after the Revo
lutionary War the settlement of
Maine began by Inhabitants of other
parts of New KnglanJ and its growth
naa been steady and sure, with the
exception of tbe years of, and Imme
diately following the Civil War. T-e
population, however, baa been almost
entirely confined to the lower halt of
the state and only very recently bave
the Immense possibilities and re
sources of the northern half been re
alized. It Is estimated that at least 300.
000 natives of Maine are scattered
throughout the other parts of the
country at the present time. Had
this vast army remained to devel
op their native state it Is Impossible

been made, as nature has done so
much and man so little.
More than 4000 square miles, or
2,r;0,000 acres, of land still remain
ployed and unimproved, waiting
for capital and brains to make it yield
large returns. The resources are al
most beyond ilmlt or belief.
Thousands of Lakes and Rivers.
In this state alone there are over
five thousand rivers and streams with
more than fifteen hundred lakes as
reservoirs, to furnish power for in
numerable manufacturing plants.
Besides natural water power, Maine
Is rich in timber, which in this age
is a most valuable asset
The timber lands of northern Maine
can, with Judicious management be
made to yield for generation after
generation and supply a vast amount
of lumber and wood pulp. The larg
est paper mill In the world, is located
at Mllllnocket on a small brancn 01
the Penobscot River where a drop or
one hundred and fifty feet furnishes
25,000 horse-power. From this mill
is turned out each day between itu
and ISO tons of newspaper, made from
wood pulp. ' "
It Is commonly supposed that paper
making from wood-pulp Is one of
the greatest menaces to our forests,
but exactly the opposite Is the case,
where the forests are bandied Intelli
gently.
The modern policies adopted by
many paper makers in regard to per
petuating the forests are doing much
for the cause or forestry.
One Maine company has secured the
ownership of 300,000 acres of forest

lands and placed the cutting of all
timber under the direction of the
Government Forestry Bureau. A
corps of expe ts was sent Into tbs
Maine wood and a close study made
of the trees growing on each acre
of this company's holdings. A plan
was agreed upon which assures A per
petual supply of timber. No tree un
der nine inches In diameter Is to be
cut. At the end of sixteen years the
spruce growth will bave renewed It
self again and under this plan tbe en
tire three hundred thousand, acres
may be cut over every sixteen years.
At Rumford Falls on the Andros
coggin in western Maine about 5V
000 horse power is now utilized, and a
recent state report says that 48,000 ad
ditional horse power la available
from this stream alone.
Beyond doubt the railroad of
Maine are responsible for the open
ing and develops t of the upper balf
of this state, as - years airo only
thirty or forty m.ies of railway were
built north of the centre and manu
facturing or fanning was almost un
known above this point
Capitalists at last realized what a
vast amount of valuable territory
was being Ignored, and built branch
lines Into the "wilderness" until now
there are nearly 500 miles of tracks
connecting thriving cities and villages
which bave sprung up In tbe wake of
the steel bands.
The advent of the railroad la
northern Maine has increased the
value of timber lands over 250 per
cent and timber which before was too
remote has become available for mar
keting purposes.
Capital from Canada
It is to be regretted perhaps from
an American standpoint that a large
part of the capital employed In devel
oping this "new old state" has been
furnished by Canadian capitalists
rather than by New Englandera them
selves. The farming possibilities of Maine
are almost as great as the water pow
er and timber business offer, as it has
been demonstrated that the soil and
climate are particularly adapted te
tbe raising of potatoes on a large
scale; over 10,000 bushels having been
shipped to various parts or the coun
try in 1904.
The railroad officials realized from
the start th in order to settle and
build up untry through which
their brancL ran the freight rates
must be low enough to enable manu
facturers to compete with more ac
cessible factories, and bave borne this)
