Railroad Progress.

With the construction of the pro- posed railway lines in the Philippines. those built and projected having total mileage Of between 800 and 1000 miles, 1t is believed that the agricultural and commercial interests of the islands will enter upon period of prosperity such as they have never enjoyed. The back wardness of the archipelago in rail way building is remarkable. The first line, the Manila and Dagupan Rail- road, 12o miles in length, was not opened until 1892. and was the only line in the islands when the American occupation took place in 1898, although the archipelago. with it's area of 115.- 900 square miles, had a population of nearly s,000,0 When 1t is considered that in Algeria. with population of not exceeding 5,oo0.0o0 and an area of 1S4.000 square miles, there are about 2,000 miles of railway under operation; that in New Zealand, with a popuia- ton of s50,o00 and an area of 104,00d square miles, there are 2,400 miles of railway in operation; that in Queens land, with a population of 500,000 and an area of 664, 900 square miles, there are 2,800 miles in operation; that in Tasmania, with 172,00o Inhabitants and 26,000 square miles, there are 120 miles in operation, 1t will be undcr- stood what a lack of progress there had been in the Philippines under the Spanish regime.

perm.nent Camv Site.

Permanent Camp Site.
 Quartermaster General Holt for sev. eral years now recommended the es- tablishment of a permanent camp site, the main reason being from the stand point of economy in the saving of transportation of troops and equipment. That Is a most considerable item and with that of the expense of carrying baggage back and fo0th eliminated the saving would be great and would en- able the troops to stay in camp sev- eral days longer than at present.
 General Holt points out that Mont gomery is the most available place from point of location and shows that the saving in transportation would be very great over that of any other place in the State in the item Of transportation.
 This is one of the very first matters to demand the attention of the new Commander-in-Ch Chief and Adjutant Gen. eral, and the interest of the organiza- ton in this State demands that 1t be settled as soon as possible. Until 1t is done a permanent State rife range cannot be established and that is very important just now.

 Seven New Posts.
 It has been practically decided oy the Secretary of War that he VIII rec ommend to Congress the establishment of seven posts where brigadier gen. erals will command full brigades os troops of the Regular Army. The es- tablishment of these posts, as stated by Secretary Taft in his annual re- port, will necessitate the abandonment of a large number of the small army posts, and will be a part of the general scheme of reorganization of the plan of administration for the army. Tne seven brigade posts, which Secretary Taft has practically decided upon, are American Lake. Wash: Fort D. A: Russell, Wye: Fort Sill. Okla; Fort Riley, Kan; Fort Leavenworth, Kan; Fort Sam Houston, Texas, and Fort oglethorpe, Ga. The first move in the readjustment of the military commands will be made in January, probably shortly after the return to Washing ton of Brig. Gen. J. Franklin Bell Chief of Staff of the Army. It Is the intention then to promulgate general order abolishing the military divisions except the Philippines Division. and redividing the country into military departments. the principal ones to be placed under the command of major generals. It is the intention to have a brisadier general in command of the service schools at Fort Riley. Kan. Fort Leavenworth, Kan, Fort Monroe, Va, and the Military Academy at West Point, N. Y. Eventually other briga- dier generals will be in command of brigade posts. This is the general scheme which has been outlined by the general stan of the army and which has received the approval of the Secretary of War.
