SAVINGS EFFECTED
FOR CITY
REPORTS or COMMISSIONERS
PRICE AND HOUSTON WILL
SHOW REDUCTIONS.

The reports that Commissioners
Price and Houston will present to the
city council this morning regarding
the expenses of their departments will
show material reductions in the cost
of operation of the street, police and
fire departments. Particularly no.
ticeable is the reduction made in the
police and fire departments. During
the eight months or his term, Conn
missioner Houston has saved more
thar 5000 for the city. Commits
sioner Prices report will also show a
heavy reduction during the past
month. The expenses of the street
department during December were
only a third as large as the November
expenses.
Commissioner Houston has been in
office only eight months, yet his re-
port shows that the 1912 expenses for
both fire and police departments are
far smaller than those run up in 1911,
and the credit for the reduction be-
longs entirely to Mr.. Houston. In
1911 the police department cost the
city $19,592.73; last year the expenses
of the same department totalled &c.
110.67. In 1911 the fire department
cost Missoula $16,2S6.1O; in 1912 it
cost s13,270.22. The saving on the
police department. during the past year
amounted to .$3,4S2.06; the saving for
the fire department to $3,O15. 8S.
The detailed figures are as follows:

PANAMA EXPOSITION
STAMPS READY
CONSIGNMENT or THREE DE-
NOMINATIONS RECEIVED BY
POSTMASTER LOGAN.

Yesterday the Missoula p~ostoffice
received it's first consignment of the
new Panama : Pacific exposition
stamps. Several packages came to
the local Office, the denominations be-
ing one, five and 10 cents. The two
cent stamps have not been printed yet
owing to the rush at the government
printing office occasioned by the big
issue of parcel post stamps that had
to be run off recently.
The new exposition stamps, which
will be used for every purpose to which
the present ordinary stamps are APP
plicable, are beautifully designed. The
o%ne-cent stamp is green in color and
bears OH its face a likeness Of Balboa
and the date of his conquest of the
Pacific, 1913. The five-cent stamp is
printed in blue and carries the repro-
ductiOn of the beautiful Golden Gate.
Yellow is the color selected for the
%ten-cent stamp; it is embellished with
a scene supposed to represent the dis
covery of San Francisco bay. The
new stamps will be put on sale to-
morrow.

There are some drawbacks to the

the pronunciation of thre phrase did
not quite suit and the teacher asked
for a repetition. and still there was
something queer about the way 1t
was repeated. Finally she requested
one member of the class to say it to
himself. and while she could not yet
quite see what was the matter 1t did
not sound right
Now, Tommy, say 1t over again

the final word sounded of color.

ments between Great Britain and the
United States prevent either nation
from maintaining fighting crafts in
these waters. no objection IL is be-
lieyed could possibly be made by Eng
land If an attempt were made to
station several dummy vessels in
the waters for the use of the naval
militia.
From the Gulf to Chicago, it is
pointed out, much interest could be
aroused among the men by having
naval militia at several points.
Through Maryland and other Atlantic
and New England states, as well as
on the Pacific coast, navigable rivers
afford excellent opportunities of or
ganizing naval militias in the larger
cities.
1t is proposed that the retired Off
GERS of the navy be assigned to
different divisions to act as comma
dore or admiral to fleet. This
would entail no extra expense to the
general government as the retired of
ficers receive retired pay from the
government. 1t is argued by Mr..
Meyer that the vessels for the naval
kmilitia could be given to the several
states and the states in turn could
bear the expense of maintaining the
craft
The whole plan, however, as sug-
gested by the secretary, must be APP
proved by congress before it can le-
gaLly be put into effect.

FOR council
OF NATIONAL
PROTECTION
INTERESTING REPORT BY
SECRETARY OF THE NAVY
APPEALS FOR SANCTION BY CON-
GRESS OF PLAN TO ESTABLISH
A SUBSTANTIAL NAVAL RE-
SERVE.

WASHINGTON. Jan. S-The last
annual report made to congress by
Secretary of the Navy Meyer is
perhaps one of the most important
documents that he ever sent to CON
gross. if not the most important.
He surveys the general trans
actions of his administration as Sec
rotary of the navy and speaks of
the value of the aids to the
secretary. He concludes his report
with recommendations that these
aids be legalized by congress and
that council of national defense be
created to bring about better CO.
operation between the several mill
tary branches of the United States.
The abolition of the bureau OF
equipment and the distribution of
itsf duties among other bureaus of
the navy department, is urged upon
NhS lSSlotdtOA . % OAS VI the great
est reforms that could be brought
about in the executive administrat on
of the department.
The strongest appeal made in the
recommendation of the secretary is
that of congressional sanction of
the provision made for a national
naval reserve. Mr.. Meyer, who has
been particularly interested in the
upbuilding of the naval strength of
the United States, has made this feat
ure one of his principal hobbies. 3"
Taking the District of Columbia ma
val militia, as an example, he has
been particularly active in demon
strating to congress the necessity of
training men in naval warfare for
emergency use, just the same as the
need in training men of the state mi
litia as adjuncts to the regular force.
One of his many recommendations
In this respect is the need of the
United States to interest the young
Anen of the interior towns and cit
les in the. United States navy. He
proposes to provide such craft as are
ready to be placed on the retired
list of the navy at the disposal Of in
terror cities, located on nayigable riv-
ers, for the purpose Of building up
interest in nautical matters
Notwithstanding this fact. it is
true. Mr.. Meyer says, that large
percentage Of recruits to the navy
join the service from the inland
towns. It is thought that if the sec
retary's ideas could be carried out by
special act of congress, there would
not be any difficulty in obtaining all
the meterial necessary to man United
! States warships. The recruiting ser
vice. it is admitted, is finding it par
ticularly difficult to obtain young men
for the service, and the department
and its officers have had to resort to
all sorts of means in order to keep
up enustments.
For instance, on the Great Lakes,
opportunities are found OF enlisting
the interest of all young men in that
, section Of the country in a naval
militia. While international agree
