RENT QUARTERS
FOR 4 DEPOT
Army Commissary Department
Has Already Issued
Orders.

One of the reasons why the War De
partment has not been active in the
erection of depot quartermaster
building here is because the building
site is not satisfactory to the depart
ment. This news comes from George B.
Mcclellan, secretary to Delegate Ku-
hio, in letter to President Morgan of
the Chamber of Commerce
As to the army commissary depart
ment maintaining supplies depot in
Honolulu, Mr.. Mcclellan says that or
ders have been issued to rent quarters
in Honolulu to make the beginnings
of such a depot.
The extent to which that depot will
be developed depends not upon the
Commissary- eneral at Washington, but
upon the commander of the Department
of California, who will act, probably,
upon the advice of the local command
ing officer.
Mr.. Mcclellan states that the depot
will presumably carry stores as are
needed for local consumption, only.
Proper quarters he says, "will be
built later when the Quartermaster-
Generals department settles the ques-
ton of further depot facilities The
Quartermaster-Ge told Mr.. Me-
ClelIan that if the merchants will sub
NIT list of articles they are able to
furnish he will offer them an opportu-
nifty to bid on supplies.

WASHINGTON, July 17-All Off
cial Washington is counting, along
with the few residents of Hawaii now
in town, the days until the adjourn
ment of the extra session of Congress.
It is believed that the conferees will
be through with their work in the
course of four or FIVE days and that
in ten days or two weeks at the longest
adjournment will come. But the Presi-
dent has come out insisting upon a
free raw material program which APP
parently will necessitate some polit-
ical work to compose the kickers
among standpat Westerners.
Little is known of what the con-
ferees are doing ON tariff matters per-
tanning especially to Hawaii. An
agreement is assured before long on
pineapples, which is the largest item

LOCAL PROSPECTS GOOD.
A Number of New Men May be Devel.
Oped for the City Base Ball
Team and Several Old
Men will Play.

The prospects for a Custer
County base ball league seem to
be good. Secretary Ed House of
the Com mercial Club has been
corresponding with some Of the
"fans" in the towns in the county
and has received favorable an.
'swers from Sargent, Ansley,
Merna, Oconto and Comstock.
These towns have indicated
their desire to send representa-

ganization of the league.
The committee appointed to
secure funds for the local team
has met with unusual success
and the prospect for getting
started off we'll is good.
Several of the men who played
on the Broken Bow team last
year will be here again this sum-
mer. Fay Thorpe. Lew Swope
and Aubrey Martin are among
the last years men who will be in
line for the team this year.
Thorpe plays short stop and
third base. Swope can give a
good account of himself as a
first or second baseman or fielder
and has done some very good
work in the box as a twirler.
Martin was unable to play last
year on account Of his not being
able to leave his work, but will
probably be able to play this
year.
Anderson and Forney, who
bought out the w. p. Rogers tin

forty years ago; that the bridge
to the right over an arm of the
Patomic was used by Washing
ton in his journeys to and from
Alexandria; that General Sher-
mans army crossed it on their
march to and from the sea; that
the continuous performance
stunt, done by the boy (passing
postal picture cards, picture
books, guide books, maps, etc, }
was worthy of every passengers
consideration; that the original
Mt. Vernon estate included 5000
acres; that the booklet entitled,
"What to see in Washington"
was free.
All along the way were in
Vulnerable cedar trees that look
ed like black, slim marble shafts
of all heights, marking the bur
tal place of some prehistoric
race. They also formed avenues
and were used as hedges.
In the flower garden at Mt.
Vernon the box wood hedge
planted by Washington himself
so many years ago, was receiving
its annual clipping, and we were
allowed to help ourselves. The
air was heavily laden with its
peculiar, pleasant odor. The
hedge measures four feet across
the top. Colonades connect the
mansion with smaller buildings
on each side-the one is the old
kitchen which is now a curio
gallery, for sale. The mansion
stands on an eminence over look
ing the Potomac and is full of
valuable, nay priceless, treasures.
There is such 4 variety of
large, beautiful trees. There
was a magnolia tree covered with
its wax-like bloom; trees with
red bloom; with pink bloom and
dog wood with itsJ white bloom,
snowballs, bridal wreath, and
the tomb some distance away, of
the Washington's and their forty
relatives is hung with ivy and
garlanded with wisteria's purple
bloom.
After we had visited all the
points of interest on the estate
we returned to the front portico
to rest and enjoy the magnifi-
cent view. We were scarcely
seated before we were earnestly
requested to join the group for a
picture, and nothing loath, we
helped to form the last row of
the large group of men and
women. Presently the photogra-
pher insisted on the last row
coming to the front, and of
course we did as we were told,
never dreaming of a rude awak-
ening.
After the pictures were taken
and the crowdhad started for the
boat asked one of the photog-
raphers where ] could get a pic
ture. He said l could see the
proof that evening at the hotel;
l said l IN not at the hotel, and
he answered it would be in the
Reading, Perma, Sunday edition
of the Eagle, or you can have
the large pictures for fifty cents
and the picture post cards, two
for five cents. Mrs. Nagle said
she had a friend to whom she
could send for paper. AS they
hurried away the one we had
spoken to looked back at us and
there was the funniest look on
his face that we understood late
that evening, We watched the
steamer leave the landing and
steam into mid-stream, then re.
turned to the portico to enjoy
the view of the river, which
looked like a broad band of pur.
