They seem TO me the essential FIRST
steps, and they seem to me for the
present sufficient. II
They contemplate an increase OF the
standing force OF the regular army
from its present strength OF :, 023 off,

services TO strength OF 1876 officers
and I13i,ToI enlisted men. or 141 ,S4s

the addition OF fifty.two companies Of

regiments OF field artillery and four
zero squadrons. besides $50 officers re-
suired for a great variety Of extra
service. especially the all important
duty OF training the citizen force of
which i shall presently speak. T0a nom.
commissioned officers for service in
drill. recruiting mud the like aud the
necessary quota Of enlisted men for
the quartermasterS corps. the hospital
corps, the ordnance department aud
other similar auxiliary services. These
are the additions necessary 10 render
the army adequate for its present du.
ties. duties which It has to perform
not only upon our own continental
coasts and borders and at our interior
army posts, but also in the Philippines.
in the Hawaiian Islands, at the isth.'
mus and in Porto Rico.
By way OF making the country ready
to assert some part Of its real power
promptly and upon a larger scale
should occasion arise the plan also
contemplates experimenting the army
by force OF 100000 disciplined citi-
zens, raised in lncrcments OF 13S, 600, a
year throughout period OF three
years. This it Is proposed to do by a
process OF enlistment under which the
seryiceable men Of the country would
be asked to bind themselves to serve
with the colors for$purposes Of train.
Ing for short periods throughout three
years and to come TO the colors at call
at any time throughout an additional
..furloughr period yof. three years. This
force OF 400 600 men would be pro-
svided with personal requirements as
fast as enlisted and their equipment
for the Geld made ready to be supplied
at any time They would be assem-
bled for training at stated intervals at
convenient places in association with
suitable units OF the regular army
Their period OF annual training would
not necessarily exceed two months In
the! year. ~ II III
It would depend upon the patriotic
feeling OF the younger men Of the
country whether they responded to
such a call 70 service or not. Il

Portland mills, supported by the Port.
land Telegram, now want it eliminated
altogether.
Like New York City has dictated to
the state of New York, Portland has
dictated to the state of Oregon poht-
icallv and otherwise. Every move that
has been made has been TO secure an
advantage for Portland, and If certain
Portland lumber manufacturers had
their way the timber located in western
Oregon south of Portland would not be
manufactured at any place but at Port
land. They would insist on its being
hauled in the log to the willamette
river for manufacture into lumber by
them.
If there is any advantage whatever
held by anyone it certainly is held by
the Portland lumber interests and the
people in western Oregon must wake
up and take notice of the fact that
there will be. no lumber manufactured
south of Portland if certain interests
of Portland have their way. As self
preservation is the first law Of nature,
so must the wage Garner, the merchant
and every interest situated within the
timber district of the willamette, the
Umpqua and the Rogue river valleys
prepare himself to protest against alb
solute ruin.
