On the other hand. looking at the
matter from business standpoint. il
is easy to understand why our traders
are Interested. There are at the Home

these are out on furlough at all times,
but there is an average of 2200 men in
camp at all times. Every three months
there are paid out to these men. in

this money is not hidden away in the
traditional stocking, but is Kept in cir

natural in such cases, it goes easily
also. 1t has been said that the greater
part of this money is spent for liquor
but such is not the fact, as anyone
who desires can ascertain upon in

The commissioners decided they were
not allowed to take from the laws of the

granted They could. however, add to
the laws. which they did. making it un-
lawful from row out for one fisherman

Especial Advantages for Mill
tary Post on the Kennebec.
An Interview With Adjutant General
Richards on the Subject
Smallpox Raging in Many States. but Maine
Has Escaped.

About two weeks ago, before the
least word was heard about the propo-
sition 10 establish n military post in
place of the Kennebec arsenal. Adiu-
tant-General Richards. in converse
ton with Journal man, said he would
like to see the government place n
garrison post here and spoke of the
advantages that could be gained there
by. And now the word comes from
Washington that the war department
has detailed Major Jones to examine
and ascertain whether or not such a
move would be advisable.
The present situation of the
arsenal is especially advantageous for
q military post" said General Rich
ards. yesterday. ITO begin with it
would be an ideal place for the recup-
Grafton of troops returning from SER
vice in the tropics
If the government, as presume
viii be the case. keeps only a portion
OF regiment in the tropics at the
same time. one battalion could be sta
toned in Augusta and be in readiness
to replace n battalion returning from
service. In this way there would be ;,
continuous change and Maine by
climatic conditions is especially adapt
ed for a post of that nature"
General Richards has long been \
strong advocate of the proposition to
have detachment of United States
regulars stationed in every State in
the Union, TO be nucleus around
which the National Guard could gather
il case Of mobilization in war. and
then at the State enca mpmaptc tba
presence of regulars would be OF the
greatest benefit to members of the
State guards. The bill introduced by
Congressman Burleigh. regarding the
placing of the National Guard under
the control of the President in case of
war. touched strongly on this point.
General Richards said: The fact
that the government could transform
the arsenal into a military post with
great ease and at little expense
coupled with the advantages to be de-
rived from climate and water for the
health of men returning or destined for
service in the tropics and its connec-
ton with the National Guard, make
the situation of a military post on the
Kennebec especially favorable"
These strong points and all Maine
hopes Major Jones will take them into
consideration while making his in
vestigation.
