Stay With Your Own People

1t seems to the Free Press that
in soliciting aid in Boise and else
where to improve the Secesh route
the good people in Warren camp
are going wrong end to- in the
matter. In very few months the
railroad will be extended from
Lewiston to Grangeville, with the
natural result that all the trade of
the Warren country will again be
done atits nearest railroad center,
on Camas prairie, only so miles
away, instead of 125 miles at
Wciser as now. This change
means also the abandonment Of
the Secesh Summit as a a route for
freight. Moreover, there is al
ready a splendid wlde-open all-the-
year round road from Camas prairie
to Florence; and by comparatively
small expenditures judiciously
placed the remaining 80 miles. of
the state road between Florence
and Warrens can easily be main
tanned in the same conditions. In
our judgment the interests of the
Warrens country will be best serv-
ed by agitating improvements on
the state road between Florence
and Warrens, since this road is
bound to be the main avenue into
and out Of the great mineral belts
of central Idaho of which Warrens
is at once the chief and the key.

FRATERNITY AND CONCORD

The celebration of Admiral Dewey's VIC
tory at Manila and the presentation of
flag and Bible were the features at last
evenings meeting of David D. Porter Com
mand, U. V. L., and the event proved to be
a memorable one. The meeting was held at
the hall of the command, in the National
Capital Bank building. on Capitol Hill.
The principal speakers of the evening
Were Senator William V. Allen of Nebraska
and Rev. Sam W. Small of Georgia, and the
address of each was frequently punctuated
by the most enthusiastic applause. The
former expressed some very decided opin-
ions in reference to the course which he
thought ought to be pursued by the United
States toward Spain, and Mr.. Small was
very happy in his illusions to the fact that
the people of the United States are now
more thoroughly united than at any time
since the formation of the government
Capt. p. G. Balm presided. Others on the
platform were: Gen H. L. Street, com
mander-in-chief of the Union Veteran
Union: Rev. Sam. W. Small and United
States Senator Allen. Capt Balm explained

A beautiful United States flag was next
presented to the command by the Ladies'
Auxiliary, through Mrs. A. H. Feathers.
VINO, IN tranIerrlnS the GIT, spoke in part
as follows:
THE ladies of this command feel deep
interest in your welfare, and have chosen
this occasion to present you with this token
of their good will in remembrance of your
gallant services to your country in the war
for the Union.
This is the same dear old emblem that
you bore amid the shot and shell Of battle

gut, Foote ana Porter; which the brave
Dewey carried to victory at Manila and
which Sampson, Schley and Miles will
plant on the fortresses of Havana The

folds ever inspire your councils with zeal
and patriotism, and always be the sign of
hope, liberty and victory to every true
American.

Many Applications for Positions In
the Camps.
The Post Office Department is deluged
with letters from persons who wish to OBJ
tain appointments in connection with the
military post Office service at the different
camps and headquarters. By an under
standing entered into between Postmaster
General Emory Smith and First Assistant
Postmaster General Perry Heath, how
ever, this service will be supervised en-
tirely by the existing force of the Post
Office Department, and the active work
OF collecting and distributing mail matter
to the forces in the field will be managed
by the officers and enlisted men of the
army, without added expense to the gov
eminent The routine work of establish
ing the different camp post Offices will be
directed by the special agents of the rural
free delivery service and the regular corps
OF post office inspectors. The regimental
chaplains as a rule. will be commissioned
postmasters. the transportation of the
mails to and from the different camps will
be performed by the army ambulances, and
the corporals and privates will act as mail
superintendents and carriers, respectively.
1t is Mr.. Heath's opinion that very eff
cient service in this way can be established
without taking on additional employees.
The public are asked to assist by carefully
naming company and regiment in the adj
dresses OF their letters to the different
camps.

Monterey will have total of 40 tons of
coal aboard when she sails away from San
Francisco At her economical speed of 7.S5
knots an hour, or 100 knots a day, this coal
would last her seventeen days and carry
her $500 knots. Owing to the carefully
laid plans of the Navy Department, the
Monterey will nowhere on her long cruise
be obliged to make run of more than 2,10O
knots without an opportunity to coal. That
run is the distance from San Francisco to
Honolulu. While the distance in direct
line from Honolulu to the Philippines is
almost twice as great as that, the Monterey
will not be obliged to make such run
without coaling.

SATISFACTORY CALCULATIONS.
The Task of Sending the Monterey to
Manila.

The naval officials have calculated to
their entire satisfaction the possibility of
getting the Monterey safely across the Pa
cific to Admiral Deweys squadron at Ma
Mia. AS already stated, the principal diff
Guilty in making such a trip as this is the
small coal capacity of vessels of the Men
terey's type. She carries normally 200 tons
of coal in her bunkers. on which at her
most economical rate of steaming she could
make about 1000 miles, or about 800 miles
less than the distance from San Francisco
to Honolulu. In an emergency such as now
exists it is possible to store a good deal of
coal on the main deck Being placed in the
passageways and open spaces of the su-
perstructure of the vessel, thanks to the
great beam of the Monterey, 100 tons of
coal in addition to that stored in the bunk
