Great Activity in the Steel Trade.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. 20.-Rarely,
if ever, in the history OF modern indus
try, has been witnessed such an extra
ordinary condition as cOnfrOnts the
sttel industry in the United States, AL
ready the rail mills are crowded with
orders to such an extent that their to-
tai output to the end of next year
will barely serve to meet the present
demand, and the mills which are de-
voted to the production of structural
steel are overloaded with work, and
must be pushed to the very utmost, to
fill orders that are due to be delivered
before the spring of 1907. even more
acute conditions prevail at the plate
mills, the demands for whose output
is to be attributed YER largely to the
growing popularity of steel cars. These
mills have sufficient orders on the
books to keep them going at full pres
sure practically for the whole of next
year. The situation is unprecedented
in the United States steel industry.

Hust|es all Other Applicants for
Brigade Headquarters
PROPOSED TO SPEND MILLION DOLLARS
SPOKANE, BOISE AND OTHER
CITIES AFTER BIG PURSE
BEING PUT UP.

For a brigade post site and ma
neuver camp, Pacific coast submitted,
ST. 900, OOO."
Thus reads an estimate made by
Secretary Shaw in his annual book Of
estimates submitted to congress.
AS a result the house committee on
military affairs has taken the matter
under advisement and is.now stated to
be working on a plan which provides
for a report on all the available sites.
The war department which is vitality
interested may cooperate with the
committee in getting this information
before at the earliest posi-
BILE date.
at is understood that the brigade
post will be located in either one of
the following states, Washington, Ore
ION, Idaho Or Montana" states a
Washington, D. c.. report. AS things
stand at present Vancouver barracks
is said to have the best chance of
being enlarged into a brigade post at
this time, owing to it's location on the
Columbia river and proximity to the
Puget sound and other natural ad-
vantages, among them the fact that
there is available near Vancouver
grounds in every way suitable for a
large maneuver camp.
For Walla Walla and Fort Wright
are also prominently mentioned for en-
largement into a brigade post and are
by no means out of the race for the
ST. OO, 900 stake and one would be al
most surely a winner were all the
army officers agreed as to their stra-
tegic Importance.
"The fact, however, that they are
considerably inland and separated from
the coast by a range of mountains, it
is believed, will not help their chanc-
es. The same is true with respect to
Fort Walla Walla, Boise Barracks in
Idaho and Fort Assiniboine in Monta-
ma. 1t is admitted by the war depart
ment that these posts have ais good
claims for enlargement"
Spokane has abandoned the fight for
a regimental band according to the
Spokane Chronicle, which says:
"Regimental headquarters for the
Third infantry will not be moved from
Fort Lawton to Fort Wright, but the
chamber of will now wage
a fight for the establishment of the
headquarters for some regiment in
Spokane.
'It has looked for some time as
though Fort Wright might secure the
regimental band now stationed at Fort
Lawton. Colonel Woodbury., COM
handing the Third infantry, had rec
commended the change at Washington,
for which purpose he went east last
summer. At the last minute Senator
Ankeny, from eastern Washington, ana
Sentaor Piles and Congressman Cush-
man and Humphreys appeared at the
war department and protested vigor-
ously against the change. A dispatch
from Washington now states that
the authorities assured these men no
change would be made
