DUCHESNEMA
BE ABANDONED
Fort No Longer Regarded as
Being important.
GENERAL SUMMERS REPORT
EXPECTS TO HAVE MANEUyERs
NEXT YEAR.

Washington, Sept. 11.-MajOr General
). ). Sumner, commanding the south
western division. comprising the de-
partments of Texas and Colorado, in
his annual report makes some radical
recommendations looking to the ADAM
dCnment Of military posts i'm those di-
visions, regarded Of the greatest inn
portance ia the old days of Indian war
rdrc. Some posts he wishes to be
brought, up to date in the matter of
water supply and other conveniences,
as in the case of Fort Huachuca. He
wants this post enlarged, and if that
is done, he suggests the abandonment
of FIT. Grant, which IS too distant from
the railroad. Fort Clark is said TO be
in a tumble-dOwn condition, ten miles
from the railroad on limestone ledge
and in a most uncomfortable position
50 General Sumner says that for stra-
tegic reasons it would seem well to
abandon the site of Fort Clark and es-
tablish post of like size near the pres
ent site of Camp Eagle Pass.
Touching Fort Ringgold. on the Rio
Grande, opposite CamaragO, it is said
the twenty-mile road connecting it with
Havana on the railroad is practically
impossible in wet weather, so General
Sumner recommends that Fort Ring
bold be abandoned at an early date and
the garrisons at Fort Brown and Fort
Mcintosh be Correspondingly Increased.
Ii these suggestions are adopted there
will be a line of posts on the Mexican
border covering all rail communica-
ton between the United States and
Mexico. Other posts that might be
abandoned are Forts Wingate and
Duchesne while Fort Apache is said
to be remote and expensive to maintain
at full strength and should be reduced
To a twO-troop post.
General Sumner thoroughly endorses
some suggestions made by his inspeC-
tor general as to the agricultural col
leges in the division, in which he says
that the colleges do not carry out thr
orders OF the war department He
recommends that no army officials be
hereafter permitted to attend these
colleges unless the provisions of the
war departments orders are complied
with.
General Sumner says he intends To
have maneuvers next autumn on az
extensive scale in the division, and is
preparing to submit problems for the
same to the war department. he
mentions Fort Sill and Fort Reno res
CrVations as desirable fields for the
maneuvers. but if it is considered adj
visable to go further south, then the
country north Of San Antonio. gen
orally known as Leop Springs. is said
to possess many advantages.

of the COP.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE following
letter concerning the Democratic text
book was made public by George +.
Parker. chief Of the Democratic literary
department tonight:
"Rosemount. y. Y. Sept. L. 1904.
MY Dear Mr.. Parker;
The Times OF this morning says tLat
the party text book is about prepared
and that it will go 10 the press in a
few days. Therefore I hasten to beg
YOU to see to- II that there is no word
IN IT that reflects upon the personal
honor and integrity of President Rooee-
welt.
An Evening Post editorial indicates
that but little care was taken In that
direction toward myself by the com
piler OF the Republican text book. but
let there be no rejoinder in kind OF
otherwise.
Il feel that you need no reminder.
still my anxiety impels me to send this
caution. Very truly yours.

COAL PRICES

row Morning.

RETAILERS ARE RESPONSIBLE

Q ALT LAKE people viii pay higher
y prices for their coal beginning
Monday morning. Those who pur-
chase by the ton viii, pay % cents a
ton more than they have during the
past year, and those who purchase by
the carload Will pay 80 scen4s more than
the old price. Those who buy, their coal
in pafts~ef-teiFss viii si3ay higher prices
in proportion
The retail prices for lump and nut
coal will be 1925 per. ton; $2.75 per half
ton, Sl.45, per quarter ton Sacked. the
prices will be So. 75 per ton; So per half
ton. $l.60 per quarter ton. In carload
lots. fifteen tons, the price will be s.
per ton, and when sacked $3.50. Mine
slack by the carload viii be $3.25:
wagonloads $3.50. ton lots IS. 70. Yard
slack is TO be $40 delivered: at the
yard $3.50. The old price per ton was
s., and by the carload $3.50
Another change that will increase the
cost of coal 10 many persons is that
there is To be no difference between the
screened and unscreened coal. Hereto
fore there was a difference of % cents
ton I'm the future there viii be no
screened coal.
Retail Dealers the Cause.
This increase in prices is the work Of
the local dealers. The companies pro
ducing the coal and The railroad cOmpa-
MES are innocent this time. The Salt
Lake dealers Who have kept up an
organization for some time past agreed
among themselves to the Increase. and
1t will be universal alt over the city
The dealers take the position that there
was not enough profit i'm the Old sched-
ule of prices, and that in order TO con-
tinue it would be necessary to get more
money for their coal. They do not
claim that the coal is costing them
more at the mine or laid down in the
yards. The only explanation they
make is that they were not getting
enough money to make the business
profitable, and were forced to make the
change.
The change comes. early enough in
the season to affect prices before many
persons have laid in their winter sup
ply of coal, and for that reason the in
crease Of from ) to 10 per cent on all
the coal used in the city will mean a
considerable additional outlay of
money
