OUR AUXILIARY ARMY.
Extensive Measures Being Taken 10
Whip the Militia Into Shape.

Twenty new military attaches have
Just been appointed by the President to
serve at the capitals of as many States
and Territories. Their business will be
to instruct our new auxiliary army,
which has been created by act of Con-
gress, and to see that it is brought up
to maximum degree of efficiency for
war.
This army will number about 125,00O,
and will prove, powerful auxiliary force
in case of trouble with II foreign power.
Congress has decreed that within four
years from the present date the entire
force must be organized, disciplined and
equipped in all respects exactly like our
regular troops, and $2,O00,OO0 has been
made at once available for the purchase
and manufacture of a first installment of
the requisite rifles and other material.
BY the same legislative enactment the
great body of fighting men thus brought
under direct Federal supervision, though
it will continue to be known as the mi
htia" of the States and Territories, is
Transformed actually into Il provisional
branch of the regular army of the United
States.
1t is Il wholly novel departure. The
militia Of the country is no longer to be
heterogeneous congeries of more or less
effectively trained bodies of citizen sol
dicry but a thoroughly drilled and well
instructed army, provided with the best
obtainable weapons and equipments and
in readiness ut any time to take the field
at days notice, in response to sum
! mons by the President. In tine of peace
the organizations composing this army
are controlled by the States ard Terrific
ries. but in case of war they will be inn
mediately available as part OF the Fed
eral forces.
The new army which Congress thus
places at the service of the country con
SiSts of 1G1, 422 enlisted men aeG 9,12C
commissioned officers.
With view to transforming this
great mass of troops into a complete and
efficient whole, the militia of all the
States and Territories has been placed
under the direct supervision and general
management OF the War Department
Authority over the citizen soldery has
| not been taken away from the Governors
of the States. but it is to be trained nm

and equipments by the government, ant

WOOL GROWERS MEET.
Business Begins With Reading
Presidents Annual Address.

Portland, Ore, Jan. 1.-THE conven-
ton of the National Wool Growers as
ISOLATION was called to order in the
Baker theater this morning. The theater
was filled with sheep men from the
western states and representatives of
allied interests from various parts of the
country. Among those in attendance
were two of President Roosevelt's COM
missioners to investigate the public land
question, which will be one of the i'm
portant matters presented for consider
alton by the wool growers.
United States Senator Warren of
Wyoming, president of the Wool Grow
ers' association, presided at the opening
session, and the business of the conven-
ton was inauguraIed with the reading
of his annual address. Senator Warren
said in part:
1.-THE changes since 1865. in the wool
growing industry have brought about
new problems. Among them is the
adaptation of the industry to the pub
lie land laws with a view to fostering
to the greatest degree, the most i'm
portant industries affected.
In forest reservation matters there
has been friction and the patience of
flock masters has been sorely tried. But
there is prospect of forestry matters
being consolidated in the department
of agriculture and for satisfactory ad-
Justment of many of the troubles which
have heretofore attended forestry ad-
miniStratiOn. The interests of the wool
growers ana wool manufacturers are in
the main neutral. There is very little
that the two can or should differ about
and a great deal upon which both
should agree. In the matter of pro-
lection by means of tariff for both
there should be no differences. In the
legislation last made upon the subject
and in considering dangerss by way
of legislation or through treaties offer
ed since, both associations have been a
unit. In the matter of range difficult
ties there is nothing needed by the WOO
grower that should be antagonized by
the wool manufacturer.
Zone matter in which there is an ap-
parent difference of opinion is in the
prevention of alleged fraudulent sales OF
wooden goods. The wool manufacturers
while not taking open issue, are yef
known to be fearful that the proposed
'shoddy bill might inf1ict hardships ant
