$4,000 thet otal naval expenditure
of the United States was rather less
than 10 millions sterling and the vote
for new construction and armaments
was a little more than two millions;
while the additions to the fleet made
during that year consisted entirely
of torpedo craft, of which the aggre-
gate tonnage was only eighteen hund-
red tons. For the current financial
year the vote for the Navy closely ap-
proaches twenty-six millions, and the
vote for new construction and arma-
ments Is about 100000. The total
expenditure on new ships and ar
rangements in the ten years has been
nearly sixty-three millions sterling.
During 1905-6 expenditure on these
items approached 11,4OO.00O, an
amount which has only been exceed
ed by Great Britain during the same
period in the two years 19O4-6.

thousands Of dollars for the county.
The highest prices that have been
recorded were in the neighborhood
Of 50 and So cents, the lowest being
about 10. There are only about 36.-
600 sacks unsold and as there is no
particular demand for wheat at the
present time and no evident prospect
Of It's advancing in price, the dealers
think that the farmers will soon get
rid Of the remainder.
There are a few thousand sacks
that have been sold in the last few
days that still remain in the county
but these will be shipped out as soon
as they can be put on the cars.

NEW OFFICERS COMMISSIONED
New Law in Effect Regulating Ex-
amlnatlons.

Lieutenants Lee D. Drake and D.
B. Bailey on Monday received their
commissions as officers of the Third
Infantry Of the o. n. G., and have
been assigned to Company L. The
appointments were made in accord
ance with the new law which Is to be
introduced in the present legislature
and which requires that all officers
shall pass an examination before an
examining board as to their compe-
tency, physically and morally, the
knowledge Of drill regulations, the
handling Of troops in campaign and
military law.
The examining board was composed
Of Lieutenant Colonel George Hart
man, Jr., ald-de-camp to the governor
and Captain Sam White Of Co. A. Of
Baker City.
The new law to be intoducred is
made to meet the requirements of the
Dick law which places the national
guard on the same footing as the reg
ular army in regard to the appoint
ments of officers, and eliminates the
selection Of political friends for the
honors.
