Navy Plans Not Revealed.

| Return home of American naval
forces-battleships. destroyers. sub
marines, converted yachts, supply
ships and other craft-also will follow
the end of the war. Definite plans
have not been revealed. but it is
assumed here that once disposition is
made Of the German high seas fleet
and submarines in accordance with
the terms of the armistice, the Ameri-
can dreadnaughts with the British
grand feet, together with most of the
destroyers and other submarine hunt
ing and convoy craft, will return.
Even with hostilities ended, how
ever, much other naval work aside
from that Of taking over and guard
ing German and Austrian naval YES
sells remains to be done. Removal of
the thousands of mines laid by the
allied. American and German navies
will form no small part of this work,
and undoubtedly the feet of mine
sweeping and laying craft sent over
seas by the United States wilt assist
in this gigantic task. The greatest
mine field is that put down in the
North sea as a barrage against Ger
man submarines. The mines were
manufactured in this country and
were laid largely by American ships.

GRAIN ELEVATOR
TO Be BUILT HERE

" As the result of the meeting of
fafmers held in Athena yesterday,
ome>$S0, 900 was subscribed in stock
for an elevator to be located on the
present site of the David Taylor In
dependent Warehouse, the sale Of the
property having been made by Mr..
Taylor for that purpose.
Also, the stock subscribed by Athena
farmers merges the local elevator into
consolidation with the Farmers Union
Grain Agency, which controls the
farmers elevator at Pendleton, and
warehouses located at three stations
on the Northern Pacific railroad, and
which has its head offices in Pendleton.
In other words. the local capital ex-
pands the capitalization of the Farmers
Union Grain Agency, which will build
the elevator here and conduct it in
connection with its other holdings.
As proposed, the Athena plant will
be constructed of concrete and will
cost when completed, approximately
$S6, 900, with a capacity OF 100. 900
bushels. On the Taylor site, it will
have the convenience of shipping fa-
cilities on both the 0. w. R. & N. and
the Northern Pacific railroads. The
new building will stand between the
two tracks on the south of the present
Taylor warehouse.
1t is understood that several of the
stockholders subscribing to the Athena
enterprise are already stockholders in
the Farmers Union Grain Agency con-
cern, and when the proposition to
merge with that organization was ad-
vanced, they readily agreed. Others
favored making the Athena organic
alton purely local and independent.
With the funds in hand, and the site
selected it should not be long before
work on the new building is under way,
with completion assured in time to
handle bulk grain during the coming
harvest.
