East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1915-06-19

Events Of the past two weeks have
given a tremendous impetus to the
movement for larger navy The
presence here of the North Atlantic
fleet for review by the president
brought home to the public as moth
ing else could that the navy is the
one reliance on which the country
must depend for upholding its rights.
1t is doubtful if the plea of made
quate revenues will again be allowed
to stand in the way of the adoption
Of a more extensive program of naval
construction. 1t is pointed out here
that the wealth and resources of the
United States are sufficient to make
ii easy to provide a navy equal to the
best in the world. One suggestion
put forward is that instead of remov-
ing the revenue tariff on sugar which
is scheduled to be dropped next May,
the present rate of duty be retained
and the proceeds applied to provid-
ing an adequate fleet The figures
of the treasury department just pub
lished. show that the sugar duty
brings in $50,0O0,000 a year and in
twenty wears has Yielded over ST.
000, 600, 900. The advocates of this
plan show that the $50, 900, 600 a year
now drawn from sugar would pro-
vide half a dozen battleships annu-
ally, or four of the largest type of
dreadnoughts and twenty submarines.
Whatever the method to be adopted,
a vast number of Americans have
come to the conclusion within recent
days that the United States must be
better proteced, particularly in the
naval branch
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1915-06-19

Several days ago three boys who
were digging a trench in mimic war
fare on the site of old Fort Inde-
pendence here unearthed what is said
to be the largest number of revolu-
tionary war relies ever found in New
York City. The find of Continental
army munitions included $50 cannon
balls about the size of a cocoanut,
both solid and shell; 100 bar shot,
80 expanding bar shot, many ball and
chain shot. a hundred pound mortar
shot and a fifty pound bar shot. Au-
thorlties upon the revolutionary war
history Of New York who have exam
ined the relics say that undoubtedly
these children in their play have hit
upon the spot, long sought where
General Washington ordered Colonel
Lasher. in command of Fort Inde-
pendence, to bury his ammunition
and guns and retreat before the ad
vancing Hessians from the north 1t
is believed that further excavations
will uncover stiH greater stores and

The boys who made the find struck
the first cannon ball only two feet
below the surface As they contin-
ued to dig they uncovered others and
soon were throwing cannon balls out
of the hole as fast as they could dig.
Their shouts attracted not only their
parents but all the neighhors. Au-
thorities on New York's history who
live in the vicinity were summoned
and they recalled the order given by
Washington on October 27, 1875, and
Identified the relics. Much OF the
ammunition has been sent to the old

ing to the band from the citi-
zenship. He then presented

briefly to the mayor. express
ing his gratitude and the hope
that he and his men may be
able to further serve the cit

with a fund raised by popular
subscription, and is an ex-
ceedingly handsome token of
the high regard of the citizen

musical organization which
has been stationed in Douglas
with the Ninth for the last
two years.
The honors which came to
