In Tima of Tear# Prepare for War. Washington, Nov. Id.—Admiral Walker adds hit testimony to that of General Miles concerning the weak ness of the government coast defenses. "I am a good American," said he, "but 1 cannot shut ray eyes to void facts. We are not prepared to-day to engage in war with- any first class power. We are in the position that China occupied in her recent struggle with Japan. We liuve a vast popula tion, great wealth, boundless resources and endless patriotism, but we cannot maintain an offensive or defensive at titude against any one of a half dozen foreign countries. What General Miles says about tiie defenseless con dition uf our coast cities is entirely correct. It is true that New York and Han Francisco are better protected than our other commercial cities, but even they would be helpless against the assaults of a dozen powerful iron cluds. Ho far as the re maining cities are concerned they have no protection whatever. Congress ought to make liberal appropriations for coast defenses, and for additional ships of war. More than anything else we need a strong navy, if wo had a dozen battleships of the Indiana cluss on the Atlantic coast we could defy as powerful a maritime country as Great Britain. We have now four battleships build ing and two others have been appro priated for. We need at least acven more. With anything like a fair sys tem of coast defenses we would be be yond the probabilities of war. There would be no more Coriuto incidents; no more talk of foreign aggressions on American soil. The United Htutes would he pre-eminent on the American continent. The greatest preventive against war is to be fully prepared for it." THE BIBLE IN SCHOOLS.

Fort, president of tho State Irrigation association, was here, giving directions y about the third aonual convention to bo held here December 18 and 19. Tbn executive committee in charge of all preparations for the entertainment of viaitors is working hard and leavingr nothing undone. It is expected that more than tVOO delegates will be pres ent, besides hundred* of visitors. Tho railroads will make cheap rate* and many will come hero to see the prac al demonstration of irrigation. Invita tions will be sent to all the county and municipal bodies in the state, irriga tion associations, and all newspaper* Colordo and Wyoming will send emi nent speakers. Nebraska's orators will be fully represented, and a flood of ex cellent thoughts will be brought out, showing the value of united action upon this Imporlont enterprise. Thou sands of dollars will be expended in western Nebraska the coming year upou wind mill and pump irrigation. '1Tie large canal companies arc already a reaping the benefits of their work and ^ tiie valleys are producing vast amount* of the necessaries of life. It i* a revelation to visit an irrigated farm and see what nature can unfold when supplied with water. The water wasted every year in the Finite valley would irrigate 6,000,000 acres of land. Tho coming convention will lie a thorough educator and will demon strate to the people how to utili/.e this vast body of water, which at the pres ent time benefits no one. With only a small effort the farmer can be educated and taught how to handle the water. There will be plenty of hotel aceonimodut.ona. The ladies of Cheyenne county are also en listed in the cause and will endeaver to entertain witli a lavish hu':d. j ANNUAL REPORTS COMING uetb Becretsflss Smith and Morion Will Discuss Mullers of Interest. Washington, Nov. lb.—Ti.e report of Secretary Smith will be one of the most interesting made by a Secretary of the interior for several years. Mora interest centers about the recommend ations the Secretary will make for the settlement of the Faciflc railroad debt* than anything else. it is known that lit* believes in a con ttnuous line of Pacific marts from Omaha to the Pacific ocean, and that he think* such a line can be oper ated to advantage. Home time ago he held up ull patents of land* to the Pacific railroad* which were bond aided amounting to 7,00o,000 acre*. Whether this i» an indication that he intend* to make some radical recom mendation* to Congrea* is not known, but it is a fact that he ha* been secnr ing statistic* relative to tbe earninge of the road* and their capac ty to earn enough to pay a moderate interest upon tbe present indebtedness. It is expected tnat Congress will undertake to legislate upon tbe subject of tbe Pacific railroads' Indebted ness daring the coining session, and the Secretary will no doubt recommend a plan of settlement. Secretary Morton will complete hie ennnal report early next week. He t makes a feature of tbe system of gov- ’ eminent inspection of meats and will fioiut out some of tbe defects in It a* t now exists. A FORCER FROM CHOICE Billot a.
