Norfolk ami Pnget Sound Ktvr Yards Rear Admiral Endicott chief ofthe Bureau of Tarda and Docks was asked to day why Mare Island was not a more suitable place than Bremer ton for constructing big dry docks It Is he renlled If te can get deep water at Mare Island that is the best place for constructing one pf the big dry docks that have been talked ot for some years Mare Island is centrally located and possesses advantages In procuring labor obtaining supplies and stores of all kinds and Its position makes It the natural base and rendezvous of the squadrons on the Pacific Coast Work Is going on now for deepening the channel of Mare Island strait continued Admiral Endicott The water there must be deepened That is an absolute necessity By means of the work now going on we will get twenty eight feet of water so that any vessel can go up to the navy yard It would possible for a battle ship to go to Mare Island now but there Is an element of uncertainty about the exact time of the tides depending sometime on the direction and velocity of the winds and no commander of a battle ship would risk damaging his vessel needlessly As soon as Mare Island strait Is deepened this difficulty will be removed Congress has shown Its wJlHngness devote reasonable sums to this work and I am convinced that after the present project is completed the channel can be kept clear wlth Jaoderate dredging I want to see Mare island maintained at the highest point of efficiency of course and all I have maintained heretofore was that deeper water was absolutely essential In every other respect the Mare Island navy yard Ml Ideal It ears to the Pacific coast the same relation that the New York yard does to the Atlantic Coast With deep water the Mare Island yard wll always be the principal naval base on the Pacific Coast The California delegation In Congress has been watching the proposition to construct a big drjr dock on the Pacific Coast larger than any yet built In the United States and will use their best efforts to have it located at Mare Island rather than at Bremerton WEDDING SOON DIVORCE AFTER Chicago Millionaire Who Was Given Freedom a Week Ago Married to an Indiana Girl 1 IE IT
