chairman of the house committee on mill
itary affairs, and this committee will pass
upon the recommendations Of the army
board later in the session. Des MONIES
has been anxious to have an army post
for a great many years, and finally last
year the matter was started by Mr.. Hull,
who got congress to act. The army board,
however, ignored Des Moines entirely IN
it's Investigations and report. Mr.. Hull
is very much annoyed and may be ex-
pected, as chairman Of the military COM
mittee, to take few falls out OF the re-
port Senator Hansbrough is also due to
take fall out Of it, because of its over
sight of Fort Lincoln. Evidently, these
high army officers see no need for Fort
Lincoln or for post at Des Moines.5 1t Is
safe to predict that they will be unable
to recognize their report when congress
shall have got through with it.
HeatwoIe Helps Huntington Out.
Eb Huntington OF the Window Reporter
will not be present at the state editorial
meeting in Minneapolis next week. he,
brought his family east last fall and has
been here with them ever since. Latterly
the family has been in Atlanta, Ga. Mr.:
Huntington ran up to washington last
week, with his inevitable camera, and was
dismayed when he attempted to take snap
shots Of government buildings and views
in the parks, to find that the laws of the
District of Columbia stood in his way.
He hurried around to find member OF the
state delegation and came on Representa-
tive Heatwole in the house lobby. Heat
wole said he would try TO fix things; and
he succeeded, for after a few hours Hunt
ington walked away happy with camera
permit in his pocket. Ever since ne mas
been taking pictures inside and outside
the capitol, library of congress and every
where in the public parks, and when ne
reaches home will have enough material
on hand to make the Reporter an illus
trated newspaper for months to come
This week Mr.. Huntington will return TO
Atlanta to join his family.
Eddy Complimented.,
The Washington Post pays very hand
some and just tribute to Representative
ton to the redistricting of the state,
which gave Mr.. Eddy several new coun-
ties, the Post article continues:
Not accustomed to allow the grass to grow
under his feet, Mr.. Eddy has already been
sounding the sentiment in this region, which
politically has been to him largely a terra
incognita. The letters received from the pros
pective constituents are even more favor
able than could have been expected, and
demonstrate that the fame OF Mr.. Eddy's
faithful service in congress has long ago
permeated beyond the borders Of his own
district. One of the most industrious and
painstaking members Of the north star state
delegation In congress, Mr.. Eddy has had a
career OF usefulness in congress, which prom
Uses well for his retention. The speakers Of
tho house have kept him on the committees
dealing with the more important subjects to
that portion of Minnesota-the Indian COM
imittee, the committee on public lands, and the
committee on mines and mining, he being
the chairman Of the last named.
Fighting Over Noyes.
& Charles D. Lane Of San Francisco head
of the famous Lane syndicate, which has
been back OF the fight against Alex Nc
Kenzie and Judge Moves in Alaska, is in
Washington, watching the preparation OF
the brief which the syndicate's lawyers
are preparing for submission to the de-
partment Of justice. Mr.. Lane took lunch
in the senate restaurant to-day with SEN
ator Stewart OF Nevada. one OF the most
pronounced of the anti Moves senators.
Mckenzie is also here. watching matters
closely The fact that both these gentle
men are in Washington suggests that the
cases are reaching the critical stage. 1t. Is
no ordinary matter that would pull Lane
across the continent at this season OF the
year.
