ALAMEDA AND SOLANO OBJECT A HOT THREE-CORNERED FIGHT OVER THE PLUM. [ The Old Blairmore, Renamed Johr ' Palmer, Is Now Called Abbie Palmer Because of Her Figurehead. There is going to be a three-cornered fight over the site for the new drydock which Uncle Sam has appropriated a mil- llon to build somewhere in the vicinity of San Francisco. At first it was sup- posed that Solano County would get the plum and that the docking 'and repairing of the huge fighting machines of the United States navy, stationed on the Pa- .cific, would be continued in the vjcinity of Mare Island. Naval men and Govern- ment engineers gave it as their opinion; however, that better sites than the Mare Island.one could be found. 3 Then Alameda County got into the fight and is now urging that the only place for a drydock is on the Oakland water front. Its citizens point out that a splen- did site can be secured on the other side of the bay and that in order to make a dock at Mare Island large enough to ac- commodate the Oregon and Iowa at least $300,000 would have to be spent in’ dredg- ing the present channel to a -sufficient depth to make it navigable for battle- ships. And mnow another county has been heard fram. The people of Marin say that the only logical place for a huge drydock is .on the Marin shore to the north of Angel.Island. They point out that round about California City the shore is .shel- that at .all- stages of the tide there is deep water. There is fresh water in abundance on the hills that could be piped to the workshops and every facil- ity for rapid” transit to the- city by way of -Tiburon. There is a splendid founda- tion and no dredging: will ‘be necessary, they say, and there is water enough to dock the largest vessel that will ever be built. 3 : A boulevard sixty feet wide from Tibu- ron along the shore line to San “Rafael has Dbeen-suyrveyed and it is thought a couple of years will see it built. When completed electric cars will be placed on it and these cars will connect with Cali- fornia City: It is off this part of the Marin shore that all the warships adjust their compasses and where the Farragut and other vessels built by the Scotts for the United States have had some of their trials. Marin is out for that drydo-k and Alameda and Solano had better be np and doing or else they will lose the olum. The -Blairmore has® had her naime changed agaln and thereby hangs a tale. When Robert Suddsn purchased the hull and began to refit it he.cast about for a name. Away back In the '50's his bosom friend was: John Palper. They wxere in- separable and their”love for: each other was like that of David and Jonathan. What better name could Sudden give the ex-British ship than John Palmer. cordingly, | the name’ Blairmore wa: bows and the name John Palmer put in its place. it very appropriate and daily “list of vessels in port” appeued “the American bark John Palmer.’ shipmaster was looking over the vessel, and after a good gaze remarked, “I'll be | hanged if I ever saw a ship with a fi male figurehead | Sure enough, the old Blairmore was de | orated with ‘a beautifully. draped woman for a figurehead and nobody had noticed it when renaming the vessel. a_question of renaming the vessel again or putting in a new figurehead. mer alternative was chosen and the bark is now known as the Abbie Palmer. Palmer is the wife of John Palmer so_the difficulty was bridged in that w Blas did not get to her dock until noon yesterday. American ports during the night and her passengers were landed len Griffiths early in the morning. The Farragut did not have Her trial on | the bay, either, on account of the fog. She will probably make her thirty knots | an hour to-day: e The whalers Alice Knowles and Cali- fornia started for the southern seas yes- terday. They will hunt in the neighbor- hood of Hawaii during the winter and | will make for the Sea of Okhotsk in the spring. They will be gone a year. The big coilier Burma went on the dry- | dock yesterday. After an overhauling she will go from here to Portland to load wheat. She will then sail for St. Vin-| cent for orders. ““Fhe bark Roderick Dhu sails for Hilo fo-day. She has seventeen cabin passen- gens booked and will take away seventy- three head of stock, besides all the freight she can carry —_——e———— Mr. Kenniston Is Grateful. George E.
