FORT WALLA WALLA
TO BE ABANDONED

Washington, Dec. 6-That Fort
Walla Walla will be abolished and
Whitman college get the land on
which the barracks are located is be-
lieved to be a certainty. The secretary
of war has declared a policy of abol-
ishing posts at small towns and re-
tanning them only at central transpor-
tation points. Walla Walla comes
under the application of the secre-
tary's policy.
President Penrose and Professor
Kendrick are here looking after the
matter. 1t Is known that their inter-
est in the project had nothing to do
with the formation of the secretary's
plans, which were based on a general
policy the country over, and that the
people of Walla Walla could not pre-
vent the abolishment of the post of
the department, as believed, has de-
cided to abolish it,
Adjutant General Ainsworth denies
any such pans. The First cavalry
has been ordered to proceed to Walla
Walla when it returns from the Phil
| ippines. However, the doing away
with the Walla Walla barracks may
be regarded as practically settled.
President Penrose refuses to discuss
! the matter at this time.

Lawrence at close range.
| Judge Benefits instructions to the
! jury were along the line that killing
another in sef-defense could only be
| justified in a case where bodily harm
was imminent. and that in case of
proved guilt previous good character
should be no bar to them rendering a
verdict of guilty. Both Townsend and
Lawrence were well-known residents
of the county. The man who was
killed left a wife and 10 children

AMERICA WILL PROFIT
BY FOREIGN TOUR
PLANS IMPROVEMENT
OF LIGHTHOUSE SYSTEM
Recent Inspection of European Meth
ods Beneficial TO Our Country
Superior Devices Used Abroad VIII
BE Adopted.

Washington.-The recent trip
abroad of the light house board was
one junket out of which the govern
ment will reap goodly profit.
The board visited England, Scot
land, France, Germany Holland.
Sweden and Denmark. They came
back to the United States chock full
of ideas for Improvement of the light
house system, adopting some of the
devices which they found in use
abroad, reforms which will mean the
saving of thousands of dollars and
greater efficiency throughout the SER
vice.
From England comes an improve
| ment in oil vapor lights which the
| light house service will adopt. This
| style of lamp has long been in use
| in America but the English model
was found by the board to be far SUI
perior, in that it required only in
frequent attention, while the lamp
now in use here keeps the tender al
most constantly at work. Electric
lights have heretofore not been in eX-
tensive use in this country, owing
to the cost of maintenance-five or
six men being required. The board,
however, will adopt the model in use
on the continent which requires only
two keepers-thus saving $4,000 year
for each light.
The light vessels of Europe are faI
superior to those of the United States
with their light towers instead OF
masts, and powerful lenses. Two YES
sells patterned after those which the
board saw in use abroad have al
ready been contracted for
An improvement in fog signals ha!
been brought from Europe. A new
style burner for the Pintsch gas buo!
will be used here extensively, thu
board learning that the light is mucl
improved and the cost of maintenance
cheaper. The improved Pintsch buoy
it is expected, will be installed on tn
lakes next spring. and Ambrose chan
mel in New York harbor will probabl.
be lighted with them.
The Swedish system of acteylen
lighting, whereby only occasiona
trips are needed to keep the lamp
brilliantly lighted, will. in all prob
ability, be incorporated in the Amer
Jean lighthouse service. An enor
nous salary list will be cut down /
this reform can be applied to llght
! in this country. The system, how
ever, is only capable of application t
light houses situated in locations cas-
lily accessible and near to land.
