BUILD A MODEL POST.
Government Expending Million Dol lars Near Chattanooga.


 lars Near Chattanooga.
 Chattanooga Special to Chicago Record
 Herald,
 The Government of the United States Is expending $1.0OO.OO0 in the erection of military post, to be called Fort George land adjoining the National Military Park of the battlefield of Chickamauga, nine miles from Chattanooga. The work of construction is now making rapid pro- gross under the direction of Capt. H. J. Slocum of the 7th Cavalry. The foun- dations of the principal buildings are laid: the land is being cleared, drained and graded and before next winter some of the quarters will be ready to occupy It is to be the model military post of the world, capable of taking care of a full regiment of cavalry, with detach- ments of infantry and artillery. The To- cation and the topography are especially favorable. The climate Is mild in win ter and not too hot in he summer. The atmosphere Is pure and the water sup ply is abundant. Only the other day an flowing with a trem sndous pressure, fur nishing a supply of water sufficient for the whole camp.
 Fort George H. Thomas is to be the rendezvous of the militia of the South. which. under the new law enacted at the last session of Congress, Is to be mobil- ized annually in great ramps of instruc- tion and participate Tn maneuvers. The convenience of Chattanooga for this pur- pose was one reason for the selection of the present site for the new post. And 1t is expected that 10000 members of the National Guard from Tennessee, Missis- sippi, Alabama. Georgia. Louisiana and Arkansas will gather nere every fall for drill and maneuvers under the command of officers of the general staff of the reg ular army Several similar rendezvous will be established at other points con- Vantonf fnT railroad trapHnnrfatinn TharA will be one near Chicago for the annual maneuvers of the National Guard of the surrounding States. Colonel Sanger, the Assistant Secretary of War who has charge of the militia. and has been here during the last few days on a tour of inspection, Is greatly pleased with the situation and the progress that is being made on the new post, and will shortly take up the subject of securing similar facilities for annual militia encampments in other parts of the country.

 the Mail.

Pensacola. Fla, April 23.-Roland l.. Morgan of Elgin. H., died suddenly Mon day afternoon at his country home six miles from this city. He received a package of prepared food by mail and within fifteen minutes after eating was dead. His mother and wife miraculously escaped death. though they only tasted of the contents of the package. The food was in an ordinary package, wrapped in white paper. The postmark is too indis- tinct to give the officers any clue as to the place from which it was mailed.

Cleveland managed in the sixth inning. while nine of them went down before the mag nifcent delivery that played such havoc with the Black Sox. Donovan pitched the first six innings of the second Detroit game in Montgomery. four scattering hits being made of him during that time, two By Molesworth, one by Wilkie Clark and one by Ike Durett while he struck out four men. The home run of third base man Green landed ten-inning game for the White Sox yesterday.

Tense of the case. see nothing to crit
icise In the article.
THE article appears In several
places to intimate that the admins
tration does not appreciate the i'm
mense importance of this suit. Such
q statement Is entirely unfOunded and
unworthy; every precaution has been
taken to see that all the interests Of
this suit are cared for. 1t is strange
how many people believe they are the
only ones who really know how to do
a thing. 1t will be impossible ut the
present time to disclose. what arrange
ments have been made. We can not
try such matters In the newspapers;
1t is SUFFICIENT to say that they are en-
tirely satisfactory to the persons whose
finances are involved In the water
rights of the Arkansas river.
1.-THE best legal talent In the state
is secured to aid in this case. This
once has done all in its power to as
sist in the gathering of evidence.
From our investigation we do not
hesitate to say that the sum appro-
priated Is only adequate to cover this
phase of the case. We believe we
more fully appreciate the magnitude
and critical points Of this litigation
than do those who would expend this
money in the employment OF counsel.
We have been able to handle this suit
more efficiently by not investing the
money in attorneys. needlessly, when
the best can be had through other
agencies"
Attorney General Miller says that
the state will employ no additional
counsel itself. but that 1t will have the
advice Of four of the best attorneys
in the state, who have been engaged
by ditch companies made parties to
the suit. The $4,000 appropriated by
the Legislature he says will be used In
gathering the vast amount OF evidence
needed in the case.

Important Ditch ouestion.

The Denver Republican of August
18th says:
State Engineer Carpenter yesterday
received notice of an Injunction
against the state engineers office to
be issued by the District Court OF Lar.
inner county. The notice states that
the Larimer-Weld Reservoir Company
is about to ask for an Injunction. j
l.. Armstrong and j. ]. Armstrong are
included in the proposed injunction
and 1t is asked in the application to
the court. with which Professor Car
penter was served yesterday, that the
State Engineers Department be re.
strained from preventing the reservoir
company from taking water from its
ditch near Fort Collins. The ditch is
known as the Little Cache La Poudre,
and the company claims the right. un-
der one and one-half shares II owns
in the ditch, to store water.
This same company some years ago
made similar application on another
share and half which 1t owned at
that time. The matter was taken into
the courts with the result that the
company was not allowed to store the
water. Now it comes into court
again with the same question under
different share and half and will
ask that it be permitted to store this
water.
The land to be irrigated by the
ditch in question and the crops grown
thereon are of such 4 nature that the
water can not be used at every sea
son of the year and the company be-
lieves 1t ought to have the right to
store the water when 1t can not use
1t. BY this means 1t can get all the
water that Is coming to 1t out of its
priority rights.
But 1t is commended on the other
hand by others interested in the wa
ter flowing into the ditch. that II the
water can not be used when 1t flows
through the ditch that the company
has no right to store 1t under IT'S pri-
GRITTY rights. The matter will come up
in the District Court of Lariraer coun-
ty In q short time.
