army in this region, because of the
removal of Colonel Abercrombie
from command at Fort Wright, and
Major Particle, the new comman-

Fort Vancouver for a conference
with General Maus on the develop

sized bunch of trouble turned loose
for some one before the fort mix
up is squared away.
There is enjoyment in the scrap
for laymen, who, as rule, cannot
get on the inside of military feuds
because of the close-mouthed pol
icy of the army. But in the pres
ent case the matter has been "split
wide open," so to speak, and it is
now for the devil to take the
hindmost."

About 10 days ago a report gained
circulation that the HazeIwood Co.

milk supply, in May and June, and

Inquiry at the office of the Haz-

this was purely visionary state

and thawed out at a commercial ad-
vantage; that HaZelwood had tried
it and gave the problem up as a
failure.
Since the first publication on the
subject a former employe of the
Hazelwood company asserted that
the plan of freezing milk was car

Hazelwood plant every spring; an
