G. A. R. MEN OPPOSE IT.
The Abolition of the Army Csnfeen
 Not Pleasing to old Soldiers.

Washington. July 21.-"Corporal Tanner. conmander-in-chief of the G. A. R.. like many other officials of the national organization. takes a vigorous stand on the action of the last session of congress in providing for the abolition of the canteen from the national soldiers homes through out the country. It is said to be quite probable that when the annual encampment is held the organization will put itself strongly on record as opposed to what has been done and make an attempt to change the work of congress On that particular phase of the matter Corporal" Tan ner does not express an opinion but on the general subject of abolition of the canteen he says.
 sT have been over good deal of the country in the last year I have talked with a great many Of the in- mates of soldiers' hones- I have aieo

talked on the same question with many of the officers of the regular army. All of them denounce such legislation as an insult to the old soldier as we'll as to the soldier in the regular army. l have no hesi- tancy in saying that such legislation as this is the worst blow true tenn perance could be struck, and harm will be done for years to come un- less there is a correction of the mistake. It is preposterous to think that the law will make the old sol dier any better of morally. The cause of temperance will be retarded instead of helped, and the old sol diers generally will not approve Of such legislation. No legislation that takes away from man the milder and comparatively unintoxicating drinks, and forces him, if he desires alcoholic stimulants, to hunt for them in uninviting places and accept the ardent kinds, is wise legislation from temperance view. It is matter of universal knowledge among the regular army officers that drunken ness has greatly increased among the men since they were deprived of the cleanly conditions of beer and wine l in the post canteens and left to se- cure their drinks among the vile re- sorts that surround army posts. "I was always in hearty accord with the sentiment expressed by Mrs Tanner many times in her lifetime, when the quetsion was up in con-
 gress. namely, that she was sur prised that the Women's Christian ITemperance union and other temper
 ance bodies did not find occasion to halt and consider their course, when they found themselves working on Ieongress, while asking for the abol- lishment of the canteen in the army lalongside of those who were univer' lsally recognized as representatives oi lthe whiskey interests. It is a mat lter of common knowledge that the lwhiskey interests, the men engaged lin making and selling the strong drinks, have no objection to legisla
 tion of this kind, as 1t drives the
 soldier to forms of strong drink ant to the saloons.
 The time is coming, believe
 when men of honest convictions 1T congress will not listen to the imprac ticable ideas of persons holding t' certain dogmas and will listen to thu treason of experienced men. The olt soldier is not an imbecile. He doe
 not need to be handled like a baby He and his friends will resent any
 thing like this recent legislation O

 Although 1t has been known for number of years that fire killed timber has a considerable value in railroad and thinning operations in Colorado. it has been brought out only recently by the forest service that a wide num- Der of uses are open for this timber. and that in certain respects if has actual advantages over green wood. These facts are deduced from a study of conditions on the Pikes Peak Forest Reserve. where the ravages of fire have been particularly widespread and destructive. In many instances the burned timber Is the only kind available at a particular point. for ex- ample. in proximity to a mine or spur of railroad so for timbers and ties the dead material has been used for many years-ffteen years at Palmer Lake, seven years at Floris- sant for railroad ties, and longer than this for mine timbers. Three years ago if was first used for box boards and has proved excellent. In May. 1905. there was sale for telephone poles. The species used are red fir. yellow pine. lodgepole pine. Timber pine. range pine. pinon. Engelmann spruce. and blue spruce of these, the pines. rel fir. and Engelmann spruce furnish the bulk of the material Time elapsed since burning seems to make no great difference in the value of the wood. except that when serious checking results it loses it's value for box purposes. The timber used has been burned all the way from three to ffty-five years. For many purpose:
 fire killed timber should he preferred to green timber because it is so wei
 seasoned This seasoning makes i
 more durable than green timber. an' also makes it lighter. so that its cos of transportation is appreciably less
 and if is therefore available. not onIl | for numerous local uses. but for ship
 ping long distances . Actual exper
 fence with the ire-kflled timber prove that it's utilization should be a soure | of profit to the reserve.

In n shower of rain that made the
roofs slippery Santa Claus was forced
to make his yearly visit 10 Pendleton
last night. Nevertheless he I'D
come. and while the night may have
been unpleasant for the old boy him
self his visit was a Joyous one to those
for whom he bore tokens of love and
esteem.
During the evening six Chris mas
trees were held in as many different
churches of the city: and within those
houses of worship hundreds of little
children. and some not so small were
gathered to see how Santa would put
on the work this year. It is needless
to say that he met with the usual sue
cess. though in some instances he
doubtless failed to do as he should.
However. there was something on
the trees for every little boy and girl
even If nothing but ball of popcorn
or some candy in thin gauze sack.

ANOTHER BURGLARY
The Store OF kanfman Bros. is Bura.
1ariZed Last Niuhf.

That same gang OF Yegg men continue
their work with apparent immunity.
Tuesdly night they operated in Ho-
quiam, and last night took another
whirl in Aberdeen.
When the store OF kaufman Bros. was
opened this morning, it was found that
it had received burglarious visit dur.
ing the night. Entrance was effected in
the usual way, by cutting pane OF glass
in rear window facing on the alley i.
This gave the yeggs entrance to a rear
store room, and from thence they ma de
their way into the store by removing
the pins from the hinges of the heavy
door that stood between them and the
plumber.
They made thorough search for ca sh
and secured about $40. No goods were
taken that the firm could discover. l.:
seems that Il strict enforcement of the
vagrancy law would relieve the com =
muniiy of this gang OF petty pilferers, a s
it appears Impossible to safeguard the
city with the small force OF police on
du'y. If every man without visible
means of support were put in the chain
gang, these gentry would soon disappear.
