ATIONS OF CONDOLENCE Officers and Members of Anaheim, No. 199, I. O. O. F. Committee appointed to pre-ple resolutions on the death of W. Champlin, beg to report: Heim Lodge, No. 199, I.O.O.F. Anaheim, Cal., Jan. 28, 1908. Death having removed us Bro. E. W. Champlin, and fitting that the members should place on record an of their sincere sorrow. Bro. had been a member of this 1872 and had been a memorial order for more than ANOTHER FLEET COMING Another battleship fleet is being prepared for dispatch to the Far East to join Admiral Evans squadron. Six battleships and two armored cruisers will be sent to join the first fleet by the time it is ready to weigh anchor in the Philippines. These eight ships, supplemented by the six which will have arrived, will make fourteen battleships in the Far East. Japan has only fourteen battleships altogether. By the time the two rear divisions of Admiral Evan's fleet are ready to come home additional ships of equal force will have gone to the Far East to replace them. Inasmuch as all statistics as to strength are figured from battleships, it will be seen that the United States will have in the Philippines a battleship squadron which, ship for ship, and in weight of metal thrown, will be equal to, or slightly superior to, the sea strength of Japan. The government believes that in efficiency, men and marksmanship the United States armada is the superior of any fleet afloat in the world and to have a fleet in strength equal to that of any power with a naval base in the Pacific, leaves the balance of power on the side of the United States. The present plan is to make the battleship Nebraska, now on the Pacific coast the flagship. She is a new and magnificent vessel. The repairs to the Oregon and Wisconsin, both on the Pacific, are to be rushed. The Idaho, which is about completed, will be rushed to the Pacific by midsummer. The present plan is to make the battleship Nebraska, now on the Pacific coast the flagship. She is a new and magnificent vessel. The repairs to the Oregon and Wisconsin, both on the Pacific, are to be rushed. The Idaho, which is about completed, will be rushed to the Pacific by midsummer. These four vessels can be supplemented before the end of the year by the Mississippi, now completed, and the New Hampshire, practically completed. This squadron of battleships will be reinforced by the armored cruisers North Carolina and Montana. It is the plan of the navy board to have the eight ships in the third and fourth divisions of Admiral Evans' fleet remain in the Far East for possibly eighteen months. By that time the United States government will have finished the following vessels: Indiana, being modernized; Massachusetts, being modernized; Iowa, being repaired; South Carolina, building; Michigan, building, and the two great Dreadnaughts, the Delaware and the North Dakota. The fact, as set forth at the navy department, is that from now on the United States government intends to maintain in the Far East a fleet which shall be equal in power to any fleet maintained there by any nation with a naval base in those waters.

Lerton a few nights ago sewers carried a bale of hay into a shed the hay out for beds and themselves at a fire built in a hole was burned through Celery Growers Conference At a mass meeting of the members of the Orange County Celery Growers' Association at Ocean View schoolhouse in the peatlands district, Saturday, an agreement was reached with the California Vegetable Union whereby the latter becomes the selling agent of the association for the next two years. The final vote on the offer of the union was unanimous, but the first one stood 39 for and 31 against the proposition. The growers made the vote unanimous out of loyalty to the principle of cooperation. Under the new contract, the union will get 1½ cents' commission on all celery sold for 20 cents a dozen or less, and 2¼ cents a dozen for all over 20 cents. The celery men assume expenses of certain salaried officers, the cost of car strips, and will pay the union 35 cents apiece for crates. President G. W. Moore of the association presided at the meeting. The feeling was that the union had demanded everything the traffic would bear, and that $3500 a year for car strips was a little too much additional. Another question at issue was the price of crates. The union proposed charging the growers 35 cents apiece for them, whereas the latter could get them from another source for 28 cents, which would make a difference of $30,- but it was impossible to hear, the flames having spread it. Nothing remains but the siron. Officers made a search neighborhood, but no trace of would be found.
