boro and Hell Gate bridges took on
the appearance of stern preparedness

and were inclined to linger and watch
the guard mount. Sharp bayonets
emphasized the commands. Trolley
cars sped from end to end of the
bridges without a pause. The street
I car companies had been ordered to per
mit no hesitation by motormen.
Among the naval militiamen who an
swered the call to report was Vincent
Astor.
There are about 2.000 men in the
New York organization of the naval
militia, but only the first and second
battalions were originally called upon
to contribute detachments. The First
battalion had headquarters aboard the
Granite State, at the foot of West
Ninety-ninth street, where Commodore
Forshew had his headquarters.
The Second battalion, commanded by
Captain Fitzgerald, was situated at the
foot of Fifty-fifth street. South Brook
lyn. Captain Fitzgerald established
headquarters in the Hotel Sinclair,
Brooklyn.
From seventy-five to ninety men
were detailed to each of the bridges.
Groups were 9tatloned at the anchor
ages aud pier bases of the bridges, and
frcyn these points searchlights were
flashed. Arc lights were suspended
■ from the bridge floorings.
A fifty foot dead line, prohibiting
vessels from approaching nearer than
fifty feet of piers of the bridges, was
established. It was enforced by five
lr tugs of the naval militia. These tugs
d cruise up and down the river. Each
j had three men armed with rifles be
sides an officer. The squadrou was in
coininund of Ensigu Russell,
o Particular attention was centered on
,]j guarding the Brooklyn and Manhattan
bridges, inasmuch as destruction of
either of these structures would pre
_ venT egress of war vessels from the
navy yard.
Besides the militiamen, a company
of sailors from the battleship New Jer
sey were in duty on the Hell Gate rail
way bridge.

I El Centro, Mont.—P. B. Christian of
! Route No. 1, box 62, El Centro, while
in Choteau, Mont., Aug. 19, caught a
golden eagle in his wheat field.
He released the bird the next day
' wilh a small bottle containing his
name and address tied to its leg.
, Mr. Christian recently received a
message from Luis Felipe Rulda, in
the Republic of Colombia, stating that
: Rulda killed the eagle Oct. 29, 1916.
The eagle flew 3,700 miles from Mon
tana to the plains north of Bogota.
When the bird was captured Mr.
Christian planned to keep it as a pet,1
but it evinced such a desire to get
away that he decided to mark it in
some manner so as to determine its
habits. Mr. Christian said that the bird
was on its way south when it landed
iln his field eThausted.

PLAKT POTATOES
SAYS GEORGESON
Prof. C. 0. Gecsrgeson, of the *,
department of agriculture, says the ^
Douglas Island News, who is in j
charge of government work tn this i
Jine iu Alaska, was here for a short
stay enroute to the experimental
station at Kodiak.
While hera the professor gave an
enlightening talk on rising pota
toes, which he considers a most vi
tal move far Alaskans this season.
"With potatoes at $100 per ton,
there should be no need for furth
er encouragement in this line of
agricultural development for the
territory, said Georgeson. "All that
is needed now. is a hint on, how to
get the best results.
"As the season is short and the
growth rapid in this lattitude, best
results are secured by. keeping the
seed in a warm cellar under cover
uu'il it sprouts. • Plant as soom as
the ground is worked, but not until
the new shoots have sprouted suffi
ciently to turn green at the tips.
This wi'l insure a maximum growth
and return for your efforts.
"Do not plant potatoes in marshy
ground, but in ground that is well
drained, the sunny side of low rises
being preferable.
"Alaska is awakened at last to its
agricultural possibilities, and I be
lieve ther will be great strides this ;
year. The territory is capable of
supporting a large population, with
in itself, and the sooner it raises
instead of imports food products, the
better for development in other
lines,"—Seward Gateway. '
