MAY MOVE ARMY HEAD
QUARTERS FROM VANCOUVER

Staff officers officers of the de-
partment of the Columbia are in fa-
yor of moving the headquarters Of the
department from Vancouver to a
larger business center and the ma
jorlty. if not all of the Officers pre-
fer that the change should be made
to Portland rather than to Seattle
says the Oregonian.
The question of the removal of the
headquarters has not been taken up
before the department Of the Column
bia since February, 1908. No work
has been received here recently from
washington in regard to te matter, in
fact. no papers touching upon the
question have gone out from these
headquarters or been received here
within the last IL months.
Referred to Staff Year Ago.
A year ago, in February, the ques-
ton Of the removal Of the headquar-
ters was referred to the staff officers
at Vancouver, and it was recommend
ed by them that the headquarters
should be moved either to Portland
or Seattle. no preference between
these two cities being then expressed.
One Of the staff officers gave as
his opinion that: "Eitner Portland
or Seattle would do for headquarters.
The staff officers prefer Portland, as
the expense Of living there would be
less than in the Puget Sound city
Seattle would have the advantage OF
being nearer Alaska, which Is part
Of the department Of the Columbia,
but that IS Seattle's only advantage.

HERM|STON MAYOR
VISITS THE CITY
COMES TO GET FERTILIZER
IN LARGE QUANTITIES
Could Use Car Load a Day for Five
Years, Mayor Newport Says-Ef-
fort to Secure Freight Reduction
Alfalfa Area Being Increased
Main Ditch Completed and the
Reservoir is Being Rapidly Filled.

Mayor H. R. Newport Of Hermiston
is in the city today for the purpose Of
securing fertilizer in large quantities
for use on the Hermiston lands. 1--WE
could use a car load a day for five
years" said Mr.. Newport, 'and We
will certainly take every particle of
the fertilizer We can secure. provid-
ing the expense of shipping it does
not prove too great"
The first car load will be shipped
west today, the mayor having already
secured a car which is being loaded
by a crew of men and teams. This
will be used by the Newports on their
own land and the amount taken down
for others will depend altogether up
pon the expensiveness of the propo-
stion.
At present the freight rate granted
by the railroad is five cents per hun
dred pounds of 81 per ton, but as
some of the fertilizing material is
very heavy, this would make it too
expensive for general use. An effort
will therefore be made to get fiat
rate of $40 per car. AS this would
prove of benefit to the railroad in
that it would hasten the coming Of
the period Of productivity of that Sec
ton of the county, it is believed the
freight department will heed the re-
quest.
The manure is not needed so much
for a fertilizer at present as it is to
keep the sand from blowing. 1t will
also serve both purposes however and
it will greatly assist in changing the
soil hv m a kinu n baavier
