An Imaginative Inferrer Might Find
Something Favorable 10 Fort
Stevens

The secretary OF war has replied 70
Governor Geer's communication recon-
mendlng the establishment Of rem
devious for troops at Fort Stevens.
whot he doesn't say regarding the pro
feet is Of the greatest interest.
His letter is as follows:
'I have the honor TO acknowledge the
receipt Of your letter urging the advan-
tages OF the Columbia river route for
the daharkation ard embarkation Of
troops, etc. for the Philippines; also
the practicabllity OF using the rescrva-
ton land at the mouth Of the Columbia
river (Fort Stevens) as suitable
camping ground for soldiers. Replying
thereto. | beg 10 inform you that at the
commencement Of the war with Spain,
the headquarters OF the military de-
partmeni OF the Pacific coast was To-
Gated at San Francisco, where the gOv-
ernment had a large reservation fitted
up for the care and accommodation OF
large bodies Of troops, factory FOR
manufacture Of army clothing, and
where every facility was already at
hand for the fitting up and repair Of
the army transport ships, and the head
quarters Of the army transport service
was accordingly established az that
point. Such supplies for the Philip
rinas as can be more economically pro-
cured on the North Pacific coast have
been purchased and shipped from
points ON that coast from time to time,
and a ship is nov being fitted up at
Portland, Or, for carrying animals and
SUPPLIES to Manila. This method OF pur-
chase and shipments will be availed Of
whenever the interests Of the military
service will be promoted thereby

People may come and people may go,
and there is not generally a great deal
OF comment made ON their movements,
but an old couple on the advanced side
OF 60 recently left Astoria by the A. &
c., and thereby hangs a. tale, .e2
this old couple left their home in st.
Paul few weeks previous for the far
West II was not without somewhat the
same feeling that they now expert
ence at the beginning Of their journey
East. The following will probably ex-
plaiu this seeming paradox. Within the
confines OF st, Paul there had resided
for many years an old man and his
wife, who were happy and comfortable
enough, albeit they were not rich, but
rather poor In this worlds goods, until
the western fever seized them, as It
often does the young, but rarely the old,
and they sold their earthly of--~.s s..',-
started for Oregon. 1t seemed q grand
idea to them to spend the remainder
OF their days beneath a Western sky,
and they were happy as the train thun-
dered out Of the depot and left st. Paul
behind them They came straight
through to Astoria, and the first thing
they encountered was heavy Old
fashioned rain that is occasion,uly oD-
served in this locality. They discovered
before long that in this part of the
world, as in others, mortals must nusue
for living, and 1t was not altogether
land Of milk and honey, as they had
evidently anticipated. They soon be-
came lonesome and discouraged, and
