NAMING GIANT BATTLESHIPS Money for Farmers in Denatured Alcohol—New Naturalization Law. [CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE] Washington, D. C., May 15, 1907. Since viewing the naval pageant at Jamestown, President Roosevelt has been giving consideration to the naming of the two battleships of the Dreadnought type, for which the contracts are soon to be awarded. According to the custom, the ships will be given the names of states. Most of the states have been honored already, but there remain Delaware, Utah, North Dakota and New York that have not war vessels named for them. New York is eliminated for the reason that there is an armored cruiser named for the city of New York. When Oklahoma qualifies as a state, it will give the naval department one additional name to draw upon. While the president has not taken any decided action, it is thought likely that Delaware, the second smallest state in the Union, will be honored by having one of the greatest battleships named for it, and that Utah will be the other state so honored. An effort has been made to induce the president to authorize the renaming of the cruiser New Postmasters throughout try send many suggestions garding postal affairsials of the postoffice many of which, when added to the betterment of the vice; but the latest suggestion made by a postmaster in state, takes the prize for has caused no end of confusion. The Were gests that postmasters must wear a regulation uniform duty. He claims that form would add dignification, and be quite a common strangers who call at see the postmaster on recognize him. Among he says: "This office class one, and has six rations if I could wear a regiment it would encourage to uniform. As I have years' active service in I may be pardoned for that the uniform be blue buttons." NEW BRONZE DOORS The models of the large doors designed for the entrance of the national building, need but a few touches before they are cast. These massive doors nearly eight feet in width thirteen in height. They place the wooden doors While the president has not taken any decided action, it is thought likely that Delaware, the second smallest state in the Union, will be honored by having one of the greatest battleships named for it, and that Utah will be the other state so honored. An effort has been made to induce the president to authorize the renaming of the cruiser New York, and to call one of the battle-ships after that state, but it is not probable that the movement will succeed. Eventually the war vessels of types smaller than battleships of the first class must be renewed if the present plan is carried out. MONEY FOR FARMERS. If the farmers in all parts of the country will only take advantage of the denatured alcohol law, enacted by congress and amended this year, it will be of immense profit to them, is the claim made by the experts of the agricultural department. It is pointed out that there is no reason why private stills should not be eventually in as general use in the United States as they are in Germany. In that country last year 90,000,000 bushels of potatoes were used by the farmers for manufacturing 70,000,000 gallons of alcohol. This was used for light, heat and fuel, practical appliances being in a high state of perfection. In this country, with the intelligence of the farmers and their native industry, it is believed that alcohol will largely supplant oil, as far as the farm is concerned. The final regulations for carrying out of the law are now being made and will be announced by the commissioners of internal revenue about July 1st. A booklet covering the entire subject may be obtained of the agricultural department, free of cost. To a farmer, it is well worth possessing. NATURALIZATION LAW.

Plans are under way by the department of commerce and labor, in co-operation with the department of justice for putting into effect the machinery for carrying out the naturalization law of June last and the regulation thereunder made by the former department. Stringent precautions against fraudulent naturalization are provided in the law and ample jurisdiction given to courts for setting aside and canceling certificates of citizenship on the ground of fraud or that such certificates were in any manner illegally procured. The bureau of naturalization will work in co-operation with the district attorney's offices, particularly in the cities where applications for citizenship are most numerous. The officials having the work in charge are now in readiness to leave Washington for the various cities for the purpose of setting the machinery in motion and it is expected that in three months from now the law will be in full operation. Only competent persons will be selected to represent them in the enforcement of the law, and they will count upon a population of 3,000,000 square miles, with age of less than 26 per person mile. Settled as densely we could accommodate people; as densely as Great Britain and Ireland, we would have 1,000,000,000 people. Or our capabilities with the denialation in such states as Pennsylvania, or all New England people to the square mile was 14%. At this average whole country we should utilization of 420,000,000—an Pennsylvania is not one Ohio has 102 people to mile, and New England of 90. On the basis of age the United States over 300,000,000, and England average 270,000,000. So great is the extent of cultural land that with used improvement in farms now going on, with the tion of our overflowed land extension of irrigation formerly regarded as fore- Would responsible to the author-ist Washington for the work.

Among other things is: "This office is a fourth- one, and has six rural carriers, I could wear a regulation uni- it would encourage my carriers form. As I have seen three active service in the civil war be pardoned for suggesting the uniform be blue, with brass ins." NEW BRONZE DOORS.

They will re- the wooden doors which have to the cactus and sage brush, with the development of scientific forestry, too long neglected, but still capable of saving our timber reserves and protecting the sources of our rivers, we can so build up our farming interests as to provide an ample food supply for as great a multitude as the future seems sure to give us. With resources for the creation of industries, the development of mining, the extension of railroads, and the enlargement of trade and commerce at home and abroad, we are abundantly blessed. Nature has lavished her riches upon this country as upon no other, as far as humanity has yet discovered. Traveling in Cuba There may be people who do not like Havana, with its gayety, its clean streets, its fascinating shops and its attractive cafes, but they must be counted among the pessimists who find fault with any and every condition in life. I lingered long in this beautiful tropical Paris and every day visited some part of the city, always going alone, mingling among the rich and the poor. In many instances my camera must have appeared impertinent, as I photographed the natives after I had literally "held them up" in a manner I would not have dreamed of doing in the States, yet I received nothing but kindness and courtesy from both Spanish and Cuban. "But," said the croaker, "wait until you get into the interior, and then the temper... NEW BRONZE DOORS. The models of the large bronze statue designed for the main west facade of the nation's capitol building, need but a few finishing tins before they are ready to be installed. These massive doors will be eight feet in width and over ten inches in height. They will resemble wooden doors which have been at the west entrance for many years. Provision to this end was by congress at the session beast and the designing was shortly thereafter, but work on the details in the twelve months of each door has progressed. The bronze doors at the entrance of the capitol represent discovery of America, and at the senate and house environs represent the important happenings of the American revolution and forming of the government. The new doors will tell story in bronze of the intellectual physical progress of the city; the apotheosis of the United States. Our Future Population The population of about 85,000 shall add during the next decade to 20,000,000 or over, giving us a total of about 105,000,000 people, or double population of 1900. Looking at 44 years to the middle of century, and the boys and men of today will be active members of that period, we must upon a population of 200,000 have we room for such a populated without overcrowding? Can accommodate these vast numbers will find ample land for the land and natural resources sufficient for the worker in iron and steel cotton and other industries? Railroad Work in the Bend The rebuilding and straightening of the Santa Fe tracks in the Santa Ana canyon is a great work soon to be accomplished. A contract has been awarded by the Santa Fe to the Sharp-Houser company for the changing of the line of road at Horseshoe Bend south of Corona, which will involve an expenditure of not less than $100,000. This is one of the series of contracts among the rich and the poor. In many instances my camera must have appeared impertinent, as I photographed the natives after I had literally "held them up" in a manner I would not have dreamed of doing in the States, yet I received nothing but kindness and courtesy from both Spanish and Cuban. "But," said the croaker, "wait until you get into the interior, and then the temper of the people will be quite different." So on I went, stopping in small towns seldom visited by strangers, and perhaps never by a foreign woman alone, mingling with the natives, whose jargon was as intelligible to me as the moaning of the sea, yet not even the semblance of insult was noticeable. Several times I was the only woman on the train; and I met few English-speaking people. At Camaguey I never saw a white woman on the street, except one night when the band played on the plaza, and during the day only a few female negroes who seemed to be marketing. For days I wandered alone through the narrow, crooked streets of the old town, making pictures of whatever caught my fancy, secretly hoping for some excitement, and that the American flag might be torn down in my presence, or that I might at least be hooted as a detested "Americano." It never occurred, so I went from town to town alone and unprotected, doing exactly as I pleased, with a sense of security not felt in some large cities of the States.—Mrs. C. R. Miller, in Leslie's Weekly. The bad man of genius looked the part assigned popular imagination. The blusterer, adorned with never was spoken, served eastern fiction about this is not the real thing. The ous man was apt to smooth spoken. When blustered and threatened dangerous bad man on his own soul, keen a strange exultation while with combat for the brave. A western office reputation once said to being of a personal difficulty he had been forced: "I anything of that sort fled." Railroad Work in the Bend The rebuilding and straightening of the Santa Fe tracks in the Santa Ana canyon is a great work soon to be accomplished. A contract has been awarded by the Santa Fe to the Sharp-Houser company for the changing of the line of road at Horseshoe Bend south of Corona, which will involve an expenditure of not less than $100,000. This is one of the series of contracts being let for the rebuilding of the main line between San Bernardino and Orange, work on which has already been in progress for several months, the major portion of that done so far being from Colton to Highgrove, where the above company has been operating a large gang of men with steam shovels for the past six months. When the Santa Fe determined to rebuild the line between San Bernardino and Orange an appropriation of $375,000 was made for the work and when it is completed it will be the finest piece of track owned by the Santa Fe in this part of the state. Every grade will be reduced to the minimum and it will be laid with 80-pound steel the entire distance. The Santa Fe handles 90 per cent of its freight between San Bernardino and Los Angeles via this line and when the work of rebuilding is completed practically all the through freights will go that way, and it is also probable one or more of the overland passenger trains will go by that route. The Pasadena line has a number of very heavy grades which make it undesirable for freight purposes. The change to be made at Horseshoe Bend will eliminate a large portion of the bad curves down through the Santa Ana canyon which have always been a great source of danger and the scene of VICTOR MONTGOMERY ATTORNEY-AT-LAW Attention given to Probate Business Commercial Bank Building.

The line has been rebuilt and balanced from Orange north to near Poa, the lower end of Horseshoe Bend, and the heavy steel is being laid. This will be continued on through to San Bernardino as the roads are completed. Bad man of genuine sort rarely used the part assigned to him in the usual imagination. The long hairedetter, adorned with a dialect that he was spoken, serves very well in certain fiction about the west, but that is the real thing. The most dangerous man was apt to be quiet and not spoken. When an antagonist uttered and threatened, the most dangerous bad man only felt rising in town soul, keen and stern, that urge exultation which often comes in combat for the man naturally nice.
