TROOPS WANTED ON THE SOUND.
Folly Of Maintaining Headquarters ON
the Columbia River.
VANCOUVER BARRACKS, WAsH.,l
o. (

J
To THE EDITOR: 1t is now many years since
gave the government some good advice about
the Mexican frontier. I felt delicacy in doing
20. like the old-time worthy who was too modest
to write letter Of advice to the adjutant gen.
eral. However, the time has come when must
do violence to my feelings and make sugges-
ton about the British border.
The last time wrote called attention to the
fact that the moons of Mars moved in the wrong
direction: that even Venus II said to have gone
wrong when she was satellite OF the war god.
One reason for the vagaries Of our military
bodies in their orbits arises from the fact that
our controlling stars are not always placed in
the conjugate foci Of their systems. When we
had to deal with such wandering meteors and
comets as the Indians it was hard to find the
right place. To drop metaphors and TO come
down to facts, military headquarters had very
often to be located at inconvenient places.
This is no longer 20. On our northern border,
particularly. We can now deal with . calculable
force.
When the headquarters of the department of
the Columbia were located at Vancouver bar
racks we were fighting Indians, and supplies
had TO be shipped by water up the Columbia
and the Willamette. Portland was then the only
purchasing point Let u consider the state of
affairs under present conditions.
We have no garrisons in Oregon. All the forts
are In Washington and Idaho. They are all
connected by railway with the cities on the
Sound except two on the Columbia, and one OF
them viii be in very short time Washington
is now q more populous state than Oregon, and
the aggregate trade Of Seattle and Tacoma Is
considerably larger than that OF Portland.
The cost OF maintaining troops on the Sound
would Be about the same a. on the Columbia,
and the advantages of concentration would be
largely In favor of the former location. But no
matter where the troops of the department may
be stationed, 1t Is Of the hrst importance that
the headquarters of . military department
should be located at q convenient center of
operations, either for Offensive or defensive war
fare. The commanding general and his staff
should know the surrounding country, its re-
sources, lines Of supply, its harbors and inlets
The staff, particularly, should know its business
methods and facilities They should know per-
sonally the members OF its clearing houses and
produce exchange
You may ask: What is the use? Again, like
Mr.. Gadgrind, will give you very hard facts.

The total number of foreign immigrants
who arrived at the port of New York last
year was in round numbers $4,000. Of
these only 1900 belonged to the agricultu-

dumped into the large cities to swell the
ranks of the squalid and the miserable.
In large proportion they were revolution

Governor LAughton vetoed the WATSON bill,
the principal measure OF importance to Eastern
Washington passed during recent session of the
legislature. Laughtou believes any.
thing class legislation that has tendency to
protect the farmer class from the greed of rail-
road corporations and also believes that 1917
cents per bushel freight to the Sound on wheat
is a reasonable maximum rate. But Governor
Laughton gets his salary and probably several
dollars on the side, and what does he care for
the Washington farmer?
