CONCENTRATE ARMY
NEAR LARGE CITIES
War Department Plans the
Abandonment of Small
Army Posts

Washington, D. c., Aug. 21.-Concen-
tration of the army at large stations,
strategically situated for military pur-
poses, and the abandonment of the
small posts, is under consideration by
the war department. The idea of the
scheme, which requires the sanction of
congress, is to construct near cities or
large towns compact barracks each to
hold an entire regiment.
Most of the commissioned officers
are to find accommodations within the
city obviating the necessity of building
extensive officers quarters on the
reservation.
1t is proposed to place the greater
part of the infantry in the northern
states and the cavalry and field artil-
lery in the south, where forage is
cheaper and where horses may be kept
out nearly the entire year.

THE BIRTH OF

case with California. was gold. The
finding Of the yellow metal in large
quantities in the bed of the Fraser
river brought a mighty influx of treas

by the strong arm Of the law, and that
is. how the fair region in the northwest
began to figure in history at the time
1t did
The area of British Columbia is 341,-
305 square miles. In other words, the
province is more than seven times
larger than the state Of New York
1t is just about the size Of the German
empire, Italy, Holland and Belgium
combined
In climate the province combines all

Vancouver when New York is under
snow, and the children Of many parts
of British Columbia are chasing but

can continent is forging ahead more

indians and trappers, was nothing: in
1890, it was $4,000; in 1900. zoe. 600

unusual resources, the province is able
to take care of an immense popula-

combined population Of Germany, Italy.
Holland and Belgium is 100000. we
may form some sort of idea of what
British Columbia is capable of doing
in the way OF supporting human ex-
istence
Speaking of the resources of the
British province it can easily be said
: that they are amazingly great. It's
wealth in timber is prodigious. The
white and yellow pine and the extra
valuable Douglas pine abound, and ce-
dar and hemlock reach a great size.
Fine oak and maple are plentiful. and
the rivers and harbors afford facility
for getting the lumber to the markets
of the world
In minerals British Columbia is rich
Between 1858 and 1875 over 40, O00,OO of

FISHER TALKS
 BY THE CARD
Says He Speaks for the President Who is in Favor of a Leasing System for the Coal Lands of Alas ka.

CHICAGO. Oct. 2. - Announcing that he spoke officially and with the 'consent of President Taft. Secretary O. the Interior Walter L. Fisher, speaking before the American Mining congress declared tonight that coal lands com prised in the public domain of Alaska will be available to the public under a leasing system.
 He said the government might oper- ate certain properties as models and would lease the remainder to indi- viduals under suitable government reg ulations. The amount of land to be leased would be limited, he said. to an area that could be mined to meet the current demand for coal. The policy of the government concerning public lands was the subject of discussion during the day. the debate developing into a controversy between Governor Spry of Utah, and pr. George Otis Smith, director of the geological sur vey. Dr. Smith advocated the leasing system and Spry opposed it on the grounds it would delay the availability of the domain, whereas private enter prise might make it immediately avail able John Hayes Hammond was among the other speakers. He said government safeguards certainly are needed in mining.

HERE'S ANOTHER.

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 27.-It is believed that a deliberate attempt was made to wreck the Santa Fe fast passenger train which left here at 1:52 yesterday, west bound, and the county authorities and railroad detectives today are trying to locate the guilty party or parties who placed a railroad tie across the Santa Fe tracks at the Santa Ana bridge. near COlton, Cal.
 The tie was so placed that the engineer could not see it until almost upon it. Reversing the engine, he slowed the train up, coming to a stop after the engine and tender had passed over. Neither was derailed, and the crew dragged the offending tie out and the train proceeded. The matter was reported from the next telegraph station. The railroad com pany today authorized a reward or sIOO for the arrest of the miscreant.
