"If you keep tigers you are likely to

of the other bands also. and to take
advantage of the positions of the care

approved the application Of the Twin
City Rapid Transit company for permits

Secretary Taft. This morning it
reached General Ainsworth, the military
secretary, who transmitted it to General
Chaffee, chief of staff. General Chat
fee is expected to receive it this after
noon, and to make his Endorsement and
recommendations on it today or tomor-
row. He will then send it to the head
Of the department for action.
Up to date all is plain sailing, each
officer having the application recon-
Intending favorable action. In addition
to this, Colonel Pond in his Endorsement
called attention to the desirability Of
having a car line into the reservation as
matter of economy in handling troops
coming to take station at Smelling or
leaving it for some other post. lncom.
ling troops, for instance, can be detained
at Minneapolis and sent to the Fort on
street cars instead of going around thru
