NAVY NEEDS REFORMING
SYSTE3I OP PROMOTIONS XOT BEST
FOR SERVICE.
Xnvnl Personnel Act Creates Too
3Inny Commanders and Not
Enough Subordinates.
"WASHINGTON, March 21.-During the
discussion on the last naval appropria
tion bill there was a great deal said
about the "bulge" or the "hump" In the
Navy. Senators who understood the con
dition In the Navy pointed out that tnls
"hump" was a dangerous thing, and on
account of it -there were at present too
many high officers and not enough Lieu
tenants and officers of medium rank. It
was held that the six-year course at the
Naval Academy should be shortened to
four in order that more officers of lower
rank might be available. Other Sena
tors In discussing this phase said it
would only mean that the "hump" would
move up a little ways, but would still
be there.
When the naval personnel bill was un
der consideration in Congress, and In the
years that It was being prepared In. the
Nav Department, the clamor was made
that promotion was too slow in the'Navy;
that men did not attain "command rank"
until they were too old to exercise it.
It was said that when a man became a
Captain, and was entitled to take com
mand of a big battle-ship or a cruiser,
which had to do guard duty In naval
warfare, or elsewhere, he had reached an
age where he was practically unfit for
the duties of that command. This was
the strongest reason brought forward for
a large increase In the number of Rear
Admirals of the Navy to retire on a
rank in advance of that which they held
in the active service. This was accom
plished In the naval personnel bill.
We find, now, however, that we have
too much command rank and not enough
"watch and division officers." A watch
and division officer is a Lieutenant, either
of the senior or junior grade. His duty
Is aboard ship. His watches, or a certain
time In which he is on duty, are ap
portioned to him, and certain petty offi
cers and sailors are assigned to his com
mand. In case of a battle he has a
certain division of the ship or a certain
gun to watch. Therefore he Is called a
watch or division officer, and Is a highly
useful man to a ship. The cry has gone
tip that we have not enough watch and
division officers to hold these subordinate
positions on the big battle-ships, the
cruisers and such vessels, and at the
same time It Is said that we have more
than a sufficient number of officers for
the command of these big vessels.
It Is an interesting feature of our naval
service that a man who has attained the
command rank, say that of a Captain,
is never assigned to the command of a
small vessel. He Is given command of a
battle-ship or cruiser but scarcely ever
a monitor. Sometimes monitors are placed
in the hands of Captains, but not very
often. Then there is a grade of vessels
that are in command of Commanders and
even of Lieutenant-Commanders. But a
number of Commanders and Lieutenant
Commanders must be assigned to each of
the bltr battle-ships. There are cortain
duties which it is deemed that only officers-
of this rank can perform, and tne men
in the Navy of this rank are distributed
quite liberally on these big ships. Gen
erally these are positions called good
billets, and lead up to a command when
the men who All them advance in rank
to be Captains.
The smaller, vessels of the Navy the
gunboats, monitors, torpedo-boats and
numerous smaller crafts are in command
of Lieutenants, those same Lieutenants.
that ought to be watch and division offi
cers on battle-ships, and for which there
Is now a considerable demand. Young
naval officers profer these positions. They
'n'dtnrally would rather be in command of
a small 'vessel than on a big ship with
half a dozen or more officers ranking
them- More than that, these email ves
sels are often sent on Important missions,
and the young Lieutenant is given an op
portunity to get himself to the front. In
dependence in such a matter Is appre
ciated and sought after.
These are some of the reasons why there
is a "hump" at the top and a hiatus to
wards the bottom. It was sought to cure
this hiatus by shortening the terms of the
naval cadets, but when it was pointed out
that these naval cadets were, after a four
years' course, likely to be placed In com
mand of some vessel on account of the
methods pursued In the Navy Department,
the Senate determined to stand firm for
the six-year course and have the cadets
given two years at sea In order that they
might become competent to take positions
which might be assigned to them.
Now to get back to the trouble. The
naval personnel act made the Navy too
top-heavy. The desire was to make pro
motion easy and get young men Into what
is known as command rlink. The result
is there are more men In the command
rank than there are vessels to command.
There are In all five stations In the Navy.
There are IS Rear-Admirals. This leaves
13 for the various navy-yards, but the
navy-yards should not be In command
of Rear-Admirals, although a great many
are. As a matter of fact, the navy-yards
could, for the most part, be In command
of officers of lower rank. There le too
much rank at the top. There are too
many Rear-Admirals. Of the positions
that might be filled by Rear-Admirals in
the Naval Bureau, one is filled by a Cap
tain, who has the rank of Rear-Admiral
during his term of office, and another by
a Commander, who holds the same rank.
Both these positions might easily be filled
by Rear-Admirals, and these officers of
command rank assigned to vessels, but
there are no vessels for them, and there
are too many Captains and Commanders
for the vessels of the first-class, which
these officers think they should cbmmand,
as others would be beneath their dignity.
Attention has already been called to
the fact that the naval personnel act de
stroyed the engineer corps, and that the
Navy Department is experiencing great
dffficulty in getting a sufficient number of
engineers to run the ships that are afloat.
The Chief of Engineers, in his last report,
called attention to this feature, although
that same Chief Engineer recommended
the naval personnel bill with all the force
that he could bring to bear. A number of
engineers -who were proficient in their pro
fession believed that the engineer was a
big feature of a ship In fighting a battle,
but it was no use. The determination
was to press it through, and it passed.
Another portion of the Navy largely
benefited by the naval personnel act Is
the marine corps. Now the marines have
many excellent men among their officers,
and they have, no doubt, done good serv
ice. They fought well in Cuba, and did
good service in China. But there was
no necessity whatever for increasing the
number to such a large extent as was
done by, the personnel bill. The number of
officers and In the rank of the officers
was also Increased. Up to that time the
highest officer in the marine corps was
a Colonel. Now he Is a Brigadier-General,
and there are two or three Colonels. There
are also Colonels and Quartermasters,
Colonels and Commissaries, with the cor
responding number of Lieutenant-Colonels,
Majors, Captains, etc. The marine
corps has a great many good men In it,
but it has also been filled with the men
who were unable to get through the naval
or military academies. Young men with
political pulls have been shoved Into the
marine corps, and many political debts
paid in this way. The increase made In
the marine corps caused many vacancies,
end .some fat patronage was disposed of
in the appointments.
The question naturally , arises. Will
there ever be a reform, and will Congress
be able to bring -.bout a revised law re
garding the naval personnel which will
restore the engineers and make the corps
what it should be, and also to dispose
of the "hump" at the top of the present
naval establishment? Nothing can be
done now to change the condition, as far
as the present officers are concerned, but
it would be a good thing if some arrange
ment might be made which would pro
cure a sufficient number of officers, and
yet enable promotions to be sufficiently
speedy to insure good officers places of
command.
In the Army a man may be selected
from any of the lower ranks and made a
Brigadier-General,, which corresponds
with the second division of Rear-Admirals.
In the Navy promotion to Rear-Admirals
must be made without regard to
merit or fitness or physical ability. In
the Army, the Piesident may select any
Colonel or Captain to be a Brigadier
General, an d any Brigadier-General to
be a Major-General. In the Navy he is
bound to promote a man to the highest
rank according to his seniority. It Is true
that the senior naval officer may not be
ordered to command, but It shows weak
ness in the system. Probably good re
sults could be brought about by provid
ing that the President might select from
Captains or Commanders men to be Rear
Admirals when vacancies occur, the same

as he now choose from Colonels or Lieutenant-Colonels,
or even Qaptalns, men to
be Brigadier-Generals. By such a pro
vision, good material could be advanced
to the higher grades for the purpose of
commanding the important stations or to
take charge of fleets in case of war. The
incompetents would still reach the grade
of Captain, the same as Incompetents In
the Army reach the grade of Colonels in
the regular rotation of time, but they
could not be forced into the high rank
and places of command for which they
are unfitted. It would be almost a super
human task to pass any euch legislation,
in view of the pull that naval officers
would exercise, but, at the same time,
after a few disasters on the sea, and the
necessity for properly manning our ships,
It would seem that Congress would not
be influenced by anything like political
pull or personal solicitation to avoid doing
what seems a plain duty to secure the
best results in the Navy.

FACTS ABOUT REPTILES.
Habits of Lizards Juttt Found Out by
Scientific Investigators.
A remarkable defense about lizards has
recently been the subject of investiga
tion by a prominent member of the Acad
emy of Sciences in Los Angeles, Cal., says
the Cincinnati Enquirer. To save Its life
he 'has discovered the California lizard
will sacrifice its' tall. Imparting to the
abandoned caudal appendage a tempo
rary life of its own, which enables its
owner to escape.
"I noticed first," said he. "that many of
tho lizards had lost their tails when I
caught them, and when I had a collection
of 20 or more I found that "I had a singu
lar assortment. Some of the little creat
ures had no tails; others stumps an Inch
or two long. One bad two tails, or stumps,
growing, and the greater number had new
tails In process of growth. The enemies
of the lizards here are snakes, and the
roadrunner, a bird, but It appeared some
what remarkable that so many lizards
should have escaped with merely the loss
of the tail. It was evident. Judging from
my collections, which Included four kinds
of lizards, that most of the lizards at
tacked got away, but that they escaped
by deliberately releasing the tail never
occurred to me until I actually saw the
operation.
"I kept some of my lizards staked out
by long cords in tho sun that I might
watch them. , One day a cat had discov
ered the unusual herd of them, and as I
sat watching them she came creeping by.
A small lizard with a blue patch beneath
Its mouth attracted her attention, and
she bounded toward it. struck at it. but
missed, her claw hitting the ground' a
few inches away.
"The lizard darted off to the full length
of the cord, leaving to the amazement of
the cat, and I may say myself, its tall,
which squirmed, leaped and twisted as
though possessed of life of its own. The
squirming tall attracted the attention of
tho cat, which, assuming it to be the
lizard, seized it, only to find that the
tail was an active partner to the latter's
plan ot escape. For two or three minutes
the tail leaped and struggled, and as It
was two Inches long its simulation of a
living animal or a small lizard was com
plete, so exact Indeed that the cat was
aeceivea ana devoted her attention to
it, allowing the animal Itself to escape.
"This solved the mystery of my lizards
with stub tails; that had all lost their
tails In adventures of this or a similar
kind, and the trick had saved their lives.
I am confident that it is not an acci
dent, but that it constitutes a well-defined
feature of the defense of the lizard."

BAKER'S AREA INCREASED
RESULT OP ANNEXATION OP UNION
COUNTY PANHANDLE.
Section Has Resources Which Will
Help Make Raker the Mining:
County of the State.
BAKER CITY, March 24. An Important
change in boundaries was made by the
law passed by the late Legislature an
nexing the "Panhandle" of Union to
Baker County. A strip of county posses
sing great resources has changed county
allegiance. While the people of Baker
County are rejoicing, a corresponding
sense of depression affects Union County.
Baker's gain Is Union's loss. Annexation
of the "Panhandle" to Baker County has
great significance to Union County, es
pecially to the town of Union, the county
seat. For years there has been a county
seat war on between Union and La
Grande, La Grande desires an enabling
act that the residents of the county may
vote on relocating the county capital.
The "Panhandle" was 20 miles nearer
Union than La Grande, and naturally
would have voted to have the county seat
retained at the former place. As tho
"Panhandle" has about 1000 voters. It
would have been an important factor in
deciding the question. With the "Pan
handle" annexed to Baker, it Is the gen
eral belief that La Grande will win out
in a contest for relocation.
The loss of the "Panhandle" will also
be felt commercially by Union. The ar
guments advanced for annexation to Bak
er County were that the trade of the
"Panhandle" was tributary to Baker
City, because of geographical conditions.
Residents of that section, however, were
compelled to visit Union whenever at
tending to county business, and, naturally,
traded there more or less. This business
will now fall to Baker City, and make
It the complete distributing point for the
"Panhandle."
The "Panhandle" Is thought to be a
rich tract, although but partly devel
oped. The same facilities for reaching
market now enjoyed by most Oregon
frult'reglons will canse two of Its volleys
to become great fruit sections. Eagle and
Pine Valleys produce a grade of fruit un
excelled anywhere. One Is about six by
three miles, while the other Is 14 by four.
While small, both are phenomenally pro
ductive, and, if covered with fruit-bearing
trees, as they will be when given
proper facilities for reaching the market,
will become valuable territory. Great de
velopment Is expected In the gold mines
about Cornucopia, even though rail trans
portation is not afforded, and especially
if this quickening influence is given the
region. Over in the Vaughan district and
about Ballard's Landing, where large
copper deposits are being slowly brought
to light, the future will undoubtedly see
a great Industry. While the "Panhandle"
has some good agricultural land. Its min
eral resources give the greatest promise
of wealth and large population.
While Baker City residents, in common
with those of any other Baker County
district, are glad to welcome a new popu
lation, this does not fully explain the
Joy experienced at the acquisition of the
"Panhandle." It is the dream of the peo
ple of this place to have Bakor County em
brace the mines of Eastern Oregon. It
now contains most of the big properties,
but the "Panhandle" embraces a large
district that has a good future In the
mining world. That portion of Grant
County adjoining Baker County has an
important mining district. Including such
properties as the Red Boy those of tho
Alamo. Robinsonville, Greenhorn. Quartz
vllle, Prairie City regions, a portion of
the Cove district and the mines adjacent
to the Cougar. This territory Is direct
1y tributary to Baker County and its
towns. Some portions of the mining re
gion mentioned are so located that resi
dents have to make a considerable trip
across mountains to Sumpter, and then
across other mountains to the county seat
of Grant County. The hope of having this
district also annexed to Baker has been
expressed, and may be the ground for a
contest in the future. With It. Baker
County would be synonymous with the
Eastern Oregon mining industry.
Mere sentiment is not alone responsible
for the desire to have all mining Inter-

miner. If the great controlling Industry
of a county Is mining, it is but natural
that measures adapted to the promotion
of that industry should be first in tha
minds of the people. By bringing min
ing interests together, greater strength
is given whatever demands have to be
made in their behalf. These benefits are
contemplated in the desire of residents of
this place for a big mining county.
About 22 townships of land are in
cluded In the strip known as the "Pan
handle." The land lies between the Pow
der River on the south and the Eagle
Mountains on the north, which range is
the southern boundary of Wallowa
County. It has an assessed valuation of
something over 5400,000. The population
is about 3000. The "Panhandle" is di
vided Into 20 school districts. Pine and
Eagle Valleys. Cornucopia, Sparta. San
ger, Ballard's Landing and Iron Dyke are
the principal precincts. The new line cut
ting olf the "Panhandle" starts from the
former northern point of Baker County,
where the Powder River makes a big
hend south of Telocasset, runs about 12
miles east, six miles north and 12 miles
east, to where the Wallowa County boun
dary Is Intersected. North Powder and
Mineral Springs still remain In Union
County. A small agricultural strip down
the north side of Powder River Is in
cluded in the portion of the "Panhandle"
annexed.
The strip now iaken from Union and
given to Baker was formerly a portion
of Baker County. In 1S54 all of Eastern
Oregon was organized Into one county,
known as Wasco, perhaps the largest
county on record. Major Raines, of the
Fourth Infantry, then stationed, at The
Dalles, protested against the county or
ganization for several reasons. After Colo
nel Baker met his tragic fate -at Ball's
Bluff, in the Civil War,' his name was
perpetuated by a division of the Big East
ern Oregon county Into two parts, and
the naming of one for hlra. Then Baker
County contained thatportlon of the coun
try lying- east of Wasco. In 1SG4 Union
County was cut off from Baker, taking
with it that portion of the state now in
cluded in Union and Wallowa. In 1SS7
Malheur was cut off from the southern
end of Baker, leaving it comparatively a
small county.
While annexation of the ''Panhandle" Is
bitterly denounced by some residents of
Union Counts, it Is returning to Baker
County land once Included within Its
boundaries. Division of the county In
debtedness has not been made yet. The
County Treasurer of Union County esti
mates that the present Indebtedness of
that county Is about $267,000, less delin
quent taxes amounting to about $30,000 or
$40,000. After deducting the cost of coun
ty buildings this Indebtedness Is to be
divided between Union and Baker on the
basis of the assessed valuation of the
"Panhandle" and the remainder of the
county. Baker County's indebtedness is
but little over $100,000.
STUDENT MIGRATION.
Representatives of Twelve Universi
ties Favor the Plan.
Chicago Tribune.
Twenty men, representing 12 universi
ties, gathered around a table in Haskell
Assembly Hall at the University of Chi-
THE LINE BETWEEN IT AND
cago and discussed the problems relating
to graduate study and the necessity of
uniform requirements for the higher de
grees. It was the second annual meeting
of the association of American Univer
sities. The plan of students migrating
from one university to another during the
years of graduate study met with unani
mous approval.
Professor Ira Remsen, of Johns Hopkins
University, opened the discussion with a
paper on "Migration Among Graduate
Students." citing the example of Ger
many, where an ideal system of migra
tion exists, and said that a similar plan
should meet with the encouragement of
the association. He said that while a mi
gration of a certain kind does already
exist. It is due largely to dissatisfaction
among the students, and does not aris)
from the best motives. He said a certain
narrowness results when a student takes
his preliminary and advanced study at
the same institution, and made the con
tention that the tendency to continue in
the same school was due to too great loy
alty. A difficulty is found hi" the trouble
of adjusting courses so as to receive full
credit In going from one school to an
other. Professor Remsen concluded with
the statement that while the members of
the association are In favor of the plan
of migration, there is little prospect of
practical results In this direction.
President G. Stanley Hall, of Clark
University, took Issue with Professor
Remsen in his Anal statement, and con
tended that a great deal of migration Is
already taking place. "Many professors
tell their students to go to other universi
ties," said President Hall. "Everything
possible should be done to encourage mi
gration. If a student would select his
university merely from a desire to hear
the best men on a subject it would be
a stimulus to the professors to turn out
their best work. I hope to see the time
when it makes no difference whether an
eminent man has one student or many
in his classes.
President Harper, of the Chicago Uni
versity, said that men were being urged
every week to go from Chicago to other
institutions, where they could specialize
to better advantage In certain lines. "If
we should put down all that we have
In common," said Dr. Harper, "we should
be surprised at the uniformity of condi
tions, and how easy It is for students to
change from one school to another."
The Rev. T. J. Conaty, of tho Catho
lic University of America, thought tho
question of migration largely depended
upon the uniformity of requirements, and
that no practical results could be arrived
at until the matter of requirements bo
discussed.

In conformity with a plan perfected

A Night
In a Chair Car
You can sleep like a top in a Bur
lington chair car.
The. air Is good; the car is not
TOO warm, and your seat, when ad
justed at the right angle. Is nearly
as comfortable as a couch. Cover
yourself with an overcoat or shawl;
get a pillow from the porter and
there you are, reacy for a comfort
able night.
At 10:30 the lights aro lowered,
and from that time antil morning
the car Is almost as quiet as your
own room at home.
