JOHN HOEM.
 Secretary.
 Yesterday the city street commit tee gave the word of command which resulted in a cleansing of the streets with water from the city pumping apparatus. The water used from the well was remarkable for it's purity and cleanliness from the start. The engine stood the all day pumping test very well. al though the atmosphere of the en- zine room was somewhat sultry for while.

 Fred Larson arrived early yester- day morning with the Teller mail. He reports passing John Hegness en route to Teller at the famous city of Tishou. The ice is very rot ten in Port Clarence bay. Along tho shore coming down it was pretty we'll out to sea in quite a good many places. Larson will now rcmnin in town for a good while fixing up the Belinda for sum- mer traffic. Yesterdays was the last mail to arrive on the winter sche- dule overland and the next depar- ture will be by boat.
 Barney Gibney as a chicken ranch CT met with a misfortune yesterday morning when dogs got into the roost and cleaned up generous dozen of the finest Plymouth Rocks and Spanish Leghorns in Nome, quite regardless of the laying quail ity of the birds. The chickens, like the geese whose cackling saved Rome on former occasion. set up cries of alarm and Barney went after the marauding dogs in time to save the balance of his flock and to give the dogs something that they had never anticipated when they invaded the chicken roost.

 That the reports as to the poss- ible sale of the c. P. Goggin store. complete. with stock. furniture and buildings. mentioned in this paper yesterday were correct. it is now admitted. It is understood that a combination of business men in Nome have consolidated in order to acquire the store and that one of them may be appointed man. ager Of the concern. The reason for this sale is outlined by one of the businessmen by stating that they have felt that there were too many grocery stores in Nome and that to secure the Goggin store. closing down others would much improve matters. It is understood that the deal has been under con sideration for several weeks while wires were being exchanged with Goggin in Seattle. the terms of the latter having finally been taken up on Saturday last. The Industrial Worker was informed that there had been reached an eleyesth hour hitch in the final agreement and that it was then hanging fire. An other man said that the agreement had finally been reached. In any event for reasons best known to themselves the principals in this deal with c. P. Goggin prefer not to court publicity at this time, and their names have been withheld in almost every interview sought for the purpose of getting information for the paper on this head.

Ask $4,000 FOR
EAIRMONT NORMAL
Cotal of $sOs,OOO Requested
for State Educational
Institutions.
tBy Associated Press,

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. IL
a total appropriation of SSOs,OOO for
state educational institutions during
the next two years is recommended in
the biennial report of the Board of Re-
gents of West Virginia just made pub
lie. This is S12,250 less than the
amount asked for by the heads of the
various schools, which the report
shows are growing rapidly In size and
IN the variety of their interests and
activities.
In the recommendations received by
the board, state institutions asked for
appropriations amounting to $4O2,210
in 1917 and $41S,040 in 1918. After
considering the various requests, the
board decided to recommend total OF
100000 for each OF these years. The
amounts asked and the sum granted
by the board for the next two years
follow: University of West Virginia.
$4,000 asked, $S50,0OO granted;
Montgomery Preparatory branch, $50.

There are six normal schools In
West Virginia for white and two for
colored teachers. These are intend.
ed primarily to prepare teachers for
the common elementary schools. It
IS the belief of the board, the report
says, that no large increase will be
necessary In the salary budget. 1t is
expected that soon these scohols will
be relieved Of doing any high school
work and proper division of labor
among the schools and In zach facul.

leaders, these leaders could be organ
lied in a school and taught special
subjects and advanced military work;
and when IL came time to organize
the next years army these would be
the force to recruit the army.
After one month of individual In
struction 1 would have the different
parts Of the army move out without
any tents and spend the remainder
or the time afield in bivouac and on
ne march, assembling with other
bodies, forming larger bodies and
moving toward the government res
ervations where first exercises with
actual armies instead of imaginary
armies would operate against each
oLner.
An army thus afield would ac-
cumulate field habits instead of bar
rack habits, and would furnish the
staff an opportunity to cater to actual
armies and discover their habits and
needs. Federal hospitals could be
established all over the country con-
nected with such a system, which
might also serve as public hospitals.
This army would have no dress
uniforms. no dances, no garrison life
TO foster caste. Most of It's officers
would be without families or depend
ents and there would be no problem
of taking care of their families. 1t
would breed no permanent military
class to live on the government for
ever, for even its generals would
have passed through its processes
and into civil life before they became
too old to begin civilian careers.
Some could go into the permanent
staff. There would be no retired list.
Such an army would commend itself
TO business-like Americans. 1t would
not be suspected of loafing. 1t would
have no caste-no bondage. 1t would
be thoroughly American. 1t would
furnish a reliable supply of tested
leaders and would accustom us to the
practice of efficiency using the ma.
terial which must inevitably be the
material for Americas wars"
Major Harllee expressed his con-
viction that the volunteer system will
serve the need If the military sys-
TEN is brought into harmony with
American ideals.
when you have brought the mill
tary system in harmony with things
American" said he. you will find
-lterent attitude towards it and no
necessity for such drastic measures
as compulsory or universal service.
"The American people," said he,
ARE not pusillanlmous; they have
not lost their m...Cary virtue; they
need no system bolstered up by
courts, jails and military constabula-
ries to bring them to a proper prepar-
alton for national defense.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. H.
An army with less snobbery and le-
gali2ed caste is the purpose of n bill
now being drafted for Senator Cham
berlain's subcommittee on military
affairs. Plans for such an army were
outlined to the committee by Major
w. G. narllee OF the United States
Marine Corps. The committee was
SO much interested in what Major
narllee told them of his experience
and ideas that they asked him to sub
NIT bill embodying his plan.
AS outlined to the committee the
Harllee plan is:
"a new army each year. Its per-
iod of training to be not over six
months, perhaps shorter, to accom-.
modate the vacation period of col
leges. Have no oath of enlistment.
pay its lowest grade respectable pay,
but withhold all except a nominal
monthly sum until the end of the
period. If anyone wants to quit, lie,

period after marching back to the

bottle and a blanket.

point the leaders for the next year.
Rearrange the present grades so that
the commander Of ten men will be an
ouicer in as strict sense as any 9TH
er commander and as proud of his
job. Appoint him in the same way
and give him a respectable salary. 1
would have the other COMMANDERS ap-
pointed at the same time, each grade
selected by the next higher comman-
der under whom they are to serve,
and to be selected from the next low
er grade SO that an officer must adj
vance a grade each year or go out.
This would send into civil life each
year officers experienced in all
grades, who have been through the
process necessary when we have to
form volunteers into armies. It
would furnish rapid advancement to
young men of demonstrated capacity.
Those who select their own subor-
uInates may be relied on to select the
proper men because their own
chances for future selection will de-
pend upon the work of these men.
