A BIG INCREASE.
Army Appropriation Bill Car
ries $111,7OO,S64.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The house COM
nittee on military affairs today COM
pleted the army appropriation bill. 1t
carries Sill, 70O, 1854, against sS0.0s0, 104 in
the bill for the current year. The great
seeming increase is accounted for by the
fact that the appropriations for the
current year were inadequate and the
urgent deficiency bill recently passed
carried a large additional appropriation
for the army for the current year.
The bill includes an appropriation of
$3.50 500 for cable and telegraph lines to
connect the military posts in Alaska
with headquarters at St. Michael and
$100 600 for military bridges and roads
in Alaska.

A WONDERFUL UNDERTAKING


In consequence Of circumstances that

etc, etc. AlSP on the part Of farmers,

audaclous curiosity and sometimes by
eva designs.
