MILES URGES COAST DErENsts
Northwest is in Need of Protection
Which Should Not be Delayed
Columbia River Helpless.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE annual rep-rt
or General Miles, commanding the army,
was made public today. While IT is de-
srable to have reserved forces CT the
army near the great centers of commu-
nidauNon, General Miles urgently contends
that these points should be selected for
their strategic value. and that the ten
dency toward concentration, should not
be carried TO the point of depriving the
western settlements of proper protection.
Under the head of Coast Defenses." /"
General Miles states that the condition
OF these Us such ais to require decided and
immediate action for their Improvement.
He quotes from l1fs report of 1884, a strong
argument for the defense OF Puget Sound,
and shows THAT since THAT time new Cana
dian railroad connections have been es-
tablished there, and not a single gun
has been placed in position for defense.
wilile Those at the entrance Of the Colum-
b!a are obsolete and OF little value.
General Miles recalls In hns report that
OF 1883, upon the absolute Importance OF
the defense OF the entire Pacific coast.

for any naval power to blockade any Inn

regarded ais reaasuutng and as just what
'wNs wanted to calm public opinion. His
language alttrlbuting to the sultan the

quarters aus calculated to encourage the
Anmenians TO resist. but all interested
seem to find comfort in The stress lait

This Is looked upon ais being the sole
sure mode of dealing with the sultan anc
OF holding down the ambitions of indi.

is visible between the lines Of the ut

of feeling that war in the East Is more

THE HYDRANT QUESTION.
Shall the Water Rates Be Raised or tn
City Take Care of the Expense?

At the last meeting of the city council
a letter from the city waiter commissioner
was read which brings up question of
nT;re than passing Importance. The let
ter is as follows:

wa gwen " very considerable consldera-
ton, and with this matter ever before
the commission nothing. we believe, has
been left undone toward giving this city
a fire protection unexcelled in the coun-
try.
This OF course Eeceasitated very con-
siderable additional expense in the sys-
tenn, and In consequence It will be expect
ed that the property owner who will be
the one TO be directly benefited by this
protection" will help to share in The ex-
pense OF maintenance.
Heretofore the entire expen1s has been
borne by the water consumer, the prop
erty receiving, as 1t did, little or no
benefit; but with the new system It will
be very different, and the taxpayer re-
ceiving an equal benefit should Join with
the water consumer in maintaining the
system.
In the system fire hydrants" Will be
Paced at all commanding points, IN num-
bers about one hundred.
