Through Secretary Mellor of the

17th, Hon. II. C. Lindsay takes this
method of expressing his thanks to
the convention for their resolution
of sympathy over his recent illness:
“It is impossible for me to say
how much I appreciate this remem
brance on the part of my friends in
the “Big Sixth,” but through you I
desire to thank them most heartily
and sincerely ”
In a letter to Secretary Mel lor of
the Sixth district Republican con
vention concerning the resolutions
•
adopted by it, Congressman Kin
kaid says, in part:
“ The resolution endorsing the
Present is very clear cut as well
as complimentary. I have carried
it to the White House and shown it
to the President and he was yery
much pleased with it. He expressed
himself as especially pleased with
the reference made to the Supreme
C ur' decision in the Merger case.

Loup City Boy in Manilla.
Manilla, P. 1., March 14, 1904.—
Ed. Northwestern: As 1 have
time, I thought I v.ould drop you a
| few lines and let you know how I
am getting along. I am well and
happy and hope this will find you
and all my friends the same.
We left Honolulu, II. I. on Dec.
29, 1903, and had New Year at sea.
\Ve had a very nice sailors’ dinner.
It consisted of fried potatoes, canned
willie salt horse and hard-tack, but
it was good enough for us old tirs.
We steamed from Honolulu in our
regular order, Rear Admiral R. I).
Evans in command of the battle
ship squadron and Hear Admiral
Cooper in command of the cruiser
squadron We were together until
out of Honolulu about fifty knots,
when the cruisers changed their
course and went to Midway Islands
for orders, if there were any. After !
leaving them we steamed on our
regular course andcncoui tered very
lit le rough weather.
On New Year’s Day we (the Wis
consin) steamed up alongside the
Kentucky and our two bands sere
naded each other, after which we
fell back and steamed in our usual
position.
On the morning of ,Jan. l<>th, we
Mghted the I.sle of Guam and
dropped anchor about noon. Then
we rigged ship for and commenced
coaling, finishing the next morning,
(iuam is only a signal and cable
station from which we received all
the news from the states and we
certainly *1 id enjoy it.
On Jan. 13 we left Guam for Ma
nilla and had a very fine trip. On
the morning of Jan. IT, we entered
tlie straits ami was steaming in
them all day and night and the next
day. the 18th, we lighted Manilla
and dropped our “mud hook” about
noon.
P.
Manilla is a very nice place. Ev
erything is the same as in the states
except the prices and they are about
twice as much as they are in “God’s
Country ”
We coaled ship the next day and
on Jan. 21 we left for Olongapo, P.
I., about 65 miles from Manilla. We
steamed there in about four hours.
On the same morning the cruiser
squadron came in and anchored in
position. While entering Subic ba>
we viewed some very pretty scenery
aod dropped aneh r in close to the
beach.
I will now endeavor to give you
a description of Subic bay aid
Olohgapo, as the navy department
is thinking of establishing a navy
yard there. Olongapo is situated
on a peninsula, in fact it is surround
ed by water, as a lagoon extends
around it and meets off Subic (a
city) again toward the north and
west, yet at low tide the upper por
tion of the lagoon is dry. Behind
and protected by the peninsula is a
small hay of sufficient depth to har
bor any of the vessels of the “Mos
quito fleet,” and it would require j
but little dredging to make an en
trance to dry docks which could be
used by the largest vessels afloat.
The natural geogr pineal location I
«.f the place protects it from ty
phoons, which have often wrought i
such des ruction in Manilla bay and j
about Cavite. Fortifications could
be constructed on Grande Island,
which would m ike it impossible for
a hostile fleet to enter, and the hills
protect it most effectually from
bombardment at a distance. Altho*
the district is mountainous, a branch
line could be buil- to connect with
the Dagupau railroad and allow the
place two pilin', of access, although
material from the United States
could he dischargul from the ves
sels at Olongap > and a railroad
would be only a convenience and by
no means a necessity. Great quan
tities of the most excellent stone for
building purposes are close at hand |
and its peculiar adaptability to sub
marine work lias been proven by
work of the Spanish. In Qlongapo
is an excplleiif location for drill and
parade grounds and small arm target
range, while the bay affords a most
excellent rendezvous for the fleet.
On the morning of Jan. 28, we
sailed with the Kentucky for Ma
anohojed at the tar
Never beiore have
we shown such a
complete line of Mil
linery.
Tou are making a
mistake if you do
not see us before
buying.
