ported he had secured subscriptions amount
Ing to $50 from property owners TO aid in

ton, provided the town would appropriate
a like sum for the object.

ment OF the northwest wing. There is also q
press room on the first floor in the south.
west wing and one the second floor In
the southwest wing. These press rooms
were located as extensions were authorized
and are as well located as the arrangement
of the rooms will permit.
II have the honor therefore, to recon-
mend that Congress be urged to provide an
entirely new building for the bureau, to be
designed and constructed for its special
needs Il is believed that with the expert
ence OF the last twenty-five years a build
ing can now be designed in every way
adapted to the work, having the rooms for
the several divisions conveniently grouped
with reference to the work executed in each
and to the administrative offices, and en-
bodyiug all of the improvements in build
ing construction and in the operation Of
machinery, including electric light, power
and other processes that have been de-
veloped during that period The present
building can be readily utilized for other
governmental purposes"

France-are believed to have adopted new
bullets for their infantry rifles. These bull
let's differ from those previously In use
principally in being of lighter weight and
also in the form Of the head. Gen. Crozier
says the ordnance department has been for
bullets Of the class Of the new ones mem
toned, with the result that with bullet
weighing $50 grains, as against the present
weight Of 220 grains, muzzle velocity on
about $500 feet per second Is attained. an
increase of 600 feet per second over that Of
the present service bullet.
Gen. Crozier says that at fighting ranges
the new builet has the advantage OF that
ments Of efficiency, and 1t is proposed there
fore to adopt 1t as the service model.
The change in the bullet will require a
slight change in the rifle, involving all those
which must therefore be turned in for al
teration. It will be necessary to make the
barrel q Of an inch shorter; an insignificant
change. The different trajectory VIII also
necessitate regraduation OF the rear sight.
1t is not proposed to alter the Krag-Jor-
gensen rifles now in existence or the am
munition therefor. as that material will be
ultimately replaced by that Of the newer
model
Department Personnel.
In a chapter in regard to the personnel
Gen. Crozier refers to the act of June rs
last AUTHORIZING QcldllS uioLAt TIC AAA-S W
that department after examination and says
that under the stimulus of that law 1t Is
expected that the personnel will be recruit
ed as rapidly as the consideration that too
many oficers should not go out at the same
time by expiration Of detail will render de-
sirabse The next examination will be held
in March. Gen. Crozfer says:
'sThe law is believed to embody salts
factory method Of recruiting and maintain
ing the personnel, and the efficiency OF the
department can now be said to be In the
hands Of its members. Faithful and efficient
service has continued to be received from
the officers, rendered especially iaborious
by reason Of the deficiency Of personnel. but
this condition has been remedied by the
law, of which the stimulating effect has
been felt throughout the department. and
1t is preferred to let personal merits be
made apparent to the service through works
which come to its intimate knowledge rath-
er than by recitaf at the present time Of
the special services OF officers"

WANTS NEW BUILDING
PLEA BY BUREAU OF ENGRAVING
AND PRINTING.

In his annual report to Secretary Shaw
on the operations of the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing for the fiscal year Thomas
]. Sullivan, director, makes Recommended
ton for a new building. This is what he
says:
1.-THE only adequate provision that can
be made to enable this bureau to furnish
the quantity of notes and securities re-
quired under existing law and such increase
as may be required by the natural growth
of the country by future legislation to pro-
vide for more frequent redemption of the
circulating notes and certificates and to
give greater elasticity to the currency, Is
the erection of a new building for its use.
Further extensions to the. present building
are out of the question. The entire site is
now occupied as far as 1t is possible TO
utilize it..
1.-THE effort to accommodate as large a
day force as possible has resulted In the
overcrowding of machinery and employees
in every room in the building. In the main
hand-press room there are 224 presses, to
each Of which Is attached gas stove, and
each press is operated by a printer and as
sistant. These presses are so close to-
gether that there Is but few inches Of
space between the handles by which they
are operated. and care must be exercised
by the employees when passing lest they be
struck and injured by these handles. The
printers anu dSSt6tdulSs IL Will Illus NC seen,
are brought very close together.
Number Of Employees.
There are 40 employees in this room.
and when the effect Of the 224 gas stoves.
which are constantly burning, is considered
1t will be readily seen that the conditions
under which they labor are not ideal. SINH
lar conditions exist in many of the other
rooms. The original building was completed
al 10
since that date. The construction of these
additions at widely separated times has
necessitated the assignment OF space to the
several divisions at points remote from
their original location. This Is a constant
source of delay and embarrassment to the
business Of the establishment AZ an Illus
tration. there are plate-printing press rooms
In eight different parts Of the building and
on FIVE different floors. The main press
room IL on the third floor. and on this floor
there Is press room In the northwes. wing
and one In the southwest wing. There is
another press room In the center wing,

Did the Dog Reason.
From the Outing Magazine.

The late Duke of Beaufort, who was an
excellent observer, notes in his diary how
Che was hunting the hounds HIMSELF the
pack drove down to wall and flashed
overall but Bachelor This hound missed
the scent as he reached the top of the
wall, and standing there waved his stern
as II In thought. Then 1t seemed to flash
across him. IF the fox has not crossed
he must have turned short under the wall"
So Bachelor dropped back into the road,
and racing along picked up the line.

Next week, at the Klinger Grand
theatre, a new system will be inaug-
urated. The Brigham-Cooper Com
pany will present two different plays
each week, instead of one, as be-
Tore Beginning next Monday the
sensational comedy-drama, "Chip.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
nights. On Thursday night the
company will present "a Woman's
Devotion" This play will be pre-
sented Thursday, Friday, Saturday

stock company is to be seen to ad-
vantage, and there will be several
new mechanical effects connected
with the production. one being the
explosion of dynamite buoy placed

SALEM
BUSINESS
COLLEGES
FlOurishing Institutions That
Like BY Merit

Each year brings Salem more and
more to the front as an educational
center. Not only are the local
schools largely attended but the
students come from various points
of the state and in many cases from
other states. This is an encourage
ing sign and the principals of the
business colleges more especially
are much pleased at the results Of
their advertising.
At both the Capital Normal and
the Capital Business college the at
tendance is larger than it has ever
been at the same time in former
years.
New students are enrolling daily
and in some instances many inquir-
les have come from neighboring
states concerning the scope and ma
ture of the work.
1t is difficult to get at the enroll
ment of a business school as the
studies can be taken up at any time
and the student body is constantly
changing.
The Capital Business college un-
der the principalship of w. |. Staley
has opened under favorable au-
spices There are three instructors
and the work is done under the most
approved modern business methods.
The work for the fall term is in full
swing and new students are coming
in each day. "Our enrolment for
this year." said Professor Staley,
will be much larger than a year ago.
In fact all the schools of the city
will have more than an average at
tendance. This is good year; there
has been plenty of work and all cir
have worked for the
benefit of the schools"
Principal j. j. Kraps, of the Cap
ital Normal and Business institute,
is equally pleased with the prospects
for the coming year He has asso-
ciated with him Professor j. w. L.
Smith, a teacher of broad expert
ence. The school has branched out
and has added what is known as the
business institute. and it issues
publication of interest to
those in educational work
"Our attendance is largest during
the. months of December and Janu-
ary," said Principal Kraps, "and our
school this year was espe-
cially well attended. We will have
from $50 to 200 students here"

Board

Members of the Salem board OF
education went out to Lincoln school
Friday evening and inspected the
new septic sewage system that has
just been put in by NJ. j. Petzel, the
Salem plumbing contractor. They
found it a first-class job, and, ex-
cepting a few minor finishing touch
es, all completed according to con-
tract. The work will be accepted
and paid for at the meeting of the
board this evening. Messrs. Lee,
Eppley and Smith went over the
work In detail. from the basement
of the school house to the end of the
tile drain, and examined every de-
tail, while DR.. Byrd and E. M. Croi-
san could not be present. They will
report at the meeting of the board
this evening. These gentlemen de-
serve the thanks of the school dis
trict for devotion to the business in
terests of the taxpayers. The board

DEVELOPMENT OF WESTERN

All western Oregon is deeply In
terested In the development of the

1t has been stated by the experts
brought here from the east by the
