Special to The Washington Her,ld
Harrisburg. Pa, Dec. 16.-Gov. Brum-
baugh issued a statement today opposing
the proposed continental army. In part.
it follows:
Pennsylvania is not in sympathy with
TIE proposed continental army as part
of the plan Of preparedness for national
defense.
ITO erect such national agency would
place the present National Guard in q
most unfarorable position and would be
harmful to its interests and its growth
while what appears to be an impractical
scheme was being experimental with.
Make the guard as large as the people
wish, but do not discourage those who
have labored SO earnestly and willingly
to advance its efficiency and value Do
not allow the hystera of novelty to
carry US headlong into a situation that
In the end we shall assuredly regret.
Rather let us hold fast to that which is
good and the pernanency of which is
established"

Winnemucca road. The proposal that
the Western Pacific build it as
feeder was abandoned. Col. Place
went to the capitalists with the pro-
posal that it be built as an indepen-
dent line. under a traffic agreement
with the Western Pacific The pro-
posal met with approval. The traf-
ic agreement was drawn UP and rati-
fed.
Then the Caldwell-Winnemucca re-
preventative was sent to St. Louis to
present the new plan, with the pro-
posed traffic agreement, to President
Bush. His last letter and the telegram
indicate the success of his plans.
Now Colonel Place is again on his
way west to meet Mr.. Fletcher and to
go with him to San Francisco to
place before the receivers the new
agreement. They will ask Of the re-
ceivers only their sanction of the traf-
&C agreement with the road under
their direction. No expenditure Of
funds will be requested this tine and
ret the Western Pacific will be given
feeder into the Idaho territory.
What possible legal objection there
can be to the ratification of the plan
thew now have to offer. Mr.. Fletcher
confesses he is unable to see. The
route has been approved. There is no
louht that the acquisition of the
feeder would be of advantage to the
Western Pacific system and every de-
tail appears to have the approval of
the executive heads of that system.

SMYRNA IN THE WORLDS
HISTORY.

Describing the Turkish city Of Smy-
rna, which has been bearing the brunt
of an alleged attack in the Near East,
the last statement of the National
Geographic Society says:
Smyrna has occupied its. place
upon the map for more than 5000
years, and through all this time it
has retained its ancient name, its
mixed character of East and West,
and its significance in the world of
trade From the first. it has been a
rich produce exchange, a great carav-
ansary, and an important harbor, re-
ceiving merchant fleets under every
| Tag. Known to the olden Greeks as
The First City Of Asia is survives,
in the present, the greatest city in
Asia Minor, and the second port of an
extensive empire.
While Ephesus. Miletus. Sardis
| Magnesia, Pergamus, and Halicarnas-
Sus have faded away, Smyrna has con-
I tinued its story of untirinR centuries.
1t has risen superior to every stress,
remaining today what it was yester-
day, as lasting as Mount Pagus at its
back. The rise. splendor and decay
OF great empires have formed but
momentary eposides in this city's life.
whose history stretches from the 18th
century before the birth of Christ
down to the present day 1t most
truly. deserves the title of Eternal
City; for it, like the phoenix of myth
ology, has ever renewed its nerveless
age by more magnificent youth.
Symrna was founded bv Aeolian
Greeks upon the natural outlet of an
important trade route. 1t grew rapid
ly into wealth and power, and early
took the lead among the cities of
Asia Minor. Ionian Greeks conquer
the city in the 9TH century, B. c., and
under these masters it played a lead
ing role in the Ionean League. Jeal-
Gus of its tremendous riches, the Lyd-
ions captured and conscientiously des-
troyed Smyrna in Us B. c. Their
cndeavors were so thorough that
there remained but a village until
after the Macedonian conquest. Alex
ander the Great caused the city to be
rebuilt, and it was laid out with ex-
travagant magnihcance, Among the
n'any beautiful buildings of this new
city was the Homereum. where the
poet, Homer. was worshiped as a
hero. The Semcidae declared the
city sacred and inviolable.
- III tHe udyS QI Roman conquest,
Smyrna was the great world center OF
art and learning, somewhat the Paris
of that early age. The Romans, who
treated the city well. called it the
Philosophers Grove and also The
Oasis of the MUSES. and the Graces.
For many generations Smyrna was
the proudest Asiat;c possession of the
Byzantine Empire of the East. In
l4o2 1t was destroyed by the Mongols
OF Tamerlane. and such of its inhabi-
tants as could be found were killed,
When it fell to the Turks, Smyrna re-
ceived another loving nickname. II
was called The Eye of Asia Minor
The city lies at the head of the
Gulf of Smyrna. some 200 miles south
west of Constantinople. with which il
is now connected by rail. The fore

GEM COUNTY ELECTION
WILL Be HELD
MAY FIRST

Saturday, May LIST, there will be an
election in the newely created county
of Gem. At this election the people
of the county will ratify or reject the
action of the state legislature in Great
ing the county. OF course there is
no question but that great majority
of the people will vote in favor of the
new county. The final arrangements
for the election were made by the
board of county commissioners of
Canyon county Thursday of last
week
In preparing for the election it was
necessary to rearrange one election
precinct Stuart precinct is divided
the two portions being made parts of
Hanna and Rramweil precinct. Sec
tions a. 9, and 10 of township 2, are
added to the Hanna district Sec
tons II, 234, u and % of township 2
and a. 9, and 10 of township are
made part of BramweH precinct.
Old Boards Serve.
Election boards which served at the
last general election will serve and
the voting places will be the same
Attention was called to the fact
that the new law requires a residence
of 90 days in the territory in which
this vote is taken. In general cleo
ton the requirement is but 80 days
but it is understood that new law
is framed purposely to check possible
attempts to carry such an election by
means of foaters.
Conference Over Highway.
Wednesday afternoon the Canyon
commissioners received visit from
the Washington county board. The
visitors came for the purpose of get
ting the Canyon supervisors to locate
the last mile of state highway in this
county where it will connect with the
proposed route in Washington county.
The proposal is to secure a new
right of way which will avoid the long
sandy hill now encountered in going
from Payette to Weiser 1t is I'M
derstood that the Oregon Short Line
and some of the land owners along the
proposed route will donate their por-
ton of the right of way A few.
however. are not so generous and
may have to be dealt with through
due process of law.
Will Inspect Route.
No decisive action in this matter
will be taken until the Canyon COM
missioners have visited the proposed
route. Some time this week they will
set the date for trip over the terri
tory and the Washington commission
ers and highway officials will also join
in the inspection.
The visiting rartv consisted Of
Commissioners Brockman, Wilson
