RecOmme nIatiOns.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Gen. Freder-
lex Funston in his report on the depart
ment of the Columbia gives a general
review of the conditions existing in the
department which includes the Pacific
northwest and Alaska. AS the result of
a personal tour of Alaska during the
summer, Gen. Funston suggests that
a different station be found for the
troops at Valdez because mountain
1000 feet high lies just south of the
post, which shuts off the sun for a
large portion of the day. At Fort Egg
bert, which is near the Arctic circle, he
found that the officers had a cultivated
garden, in which they raised their Own
vegetables. He says that the question
of maintaining all the military posts in
Alaska is one requiring more knOwl-
edge of the policy and intentions of the
government than is vouchsafed to de-
partment commander before it can be
inteligently dealt with" At four posts
of the military telegraph line all the
available force is needed to maintain
the line. He recommends that Fort

could be called upon to support the civil
authorities. Gen. Funston speaks in
high terms of the signal corps which has
constructed the military telegraph line
in Alaska.
Gen. Funston recommends that
large tract of land at American Lake,
near Tacoma, Wash, be acquired for the
purpose of drill ground and camp for
