Protest Telegraphed Senator
Chamberlain in Effort
io Save Vancouver.
ADVICE ON ACTION ASKED
Chamber AVants Opportunity to Offer
Land if Donation Is Necessary
to Protect Barracks Brigade
Post Wanted on River.
Afcain threatened with the probable
rpmoval, or loss of importance, at least,
of the military post at Vancouver, yes
terday when it became known that Ta
coma interests propose to donate a
large tract of land for a big military
base to the Government, the Portland
Chamber of Commerce at once took
action and sent a strong telegram to
Senator Chamberlain, head of the Sen
ate committee on military affairs, ask
ing that no action be taken that will
doom Vancouver to oblivion in mat
ters military.
It was asked that Portland be ad
vised at once what is required to main
tain Vancouver's importance as a mili
tary post and also to know what, if
any, action is essential on Portland's
part to provide facilities at or near
Vancouver that will offset the attrac
tions at American Lake.
Business Interests Aroused.
Business interests generally were
eroused yesterday by the proposed
American Lake establishment. It be
came known that Pierce County will
pcopose a bond issue of $2,000,000 at
the next election to purchase 70.00D
acres for- a great military camp near
American Lake.
The plan has much support already
at Tacoma and the people are told if
this land is acquired and given to the
Government, the Federal authorities
will spend no less than $70,000,000 in
developing the camp within the next
ten years.
The plan. In general, contemplates
the establishment of what is known as
a cantonment at American Lake, on
such a large tract, maneuvers can be
carried out well, and there will be
room for an immense military estab
lishment. That the cantonment Is more
than likelv to errow into a big central
military headquarters for the entire
Pacific Northwest is the general belief
locally.
Secretary Baker Indorses.
Secretary of War Baker has written
Vita rather comolete sanction of the
plan to the people of Pierce County. He
Is quoted as follows:
"You are advised that If Pierce
fmintv tenders a deed conveying a
valid "title of lands having an aggre
r.stA ari-a. of 70.000 acres I will gladly
accept the same for the purpose of
maintaining thereon a permanent mo
bilization, training and supply station,
under the authority of the act of Con
gress, approved August 29, 1316
"You are further advised that as
Boon and as long as the appropriations
maris hv Coneress and the military oe
mands upon the mobile forces of the
Vnited States permit, I will establish
and maintain upon said reservation a
rilvision of mobile troops, wltn sucn
improvements as are provided for In
said appropriations.
Mr. Chamberlain Believed In Favor,
Senator Chamberlain, it is stated by
a. Tacoma paper, has expressed himself
as favorable to the plan as outlined,
and will give his influence as head of
the committee on military attairs oi
the Senate to carrying it out. He is
quoted as having said that he knows
of no site so desirable for the purpose
of a big military cantonment as that in
the American Lake district.
Senator Chamberlain has expressed
the belief, it is stated, that this bi
military camp will in no wise take
away from the present military post
at Vancouver Barracks.
Vancouver, it was understood yes
terday, was arranging a protest
through its commercial organizations
against any possible loss of its military
prestige by the new scheme Just out
lined.
Portland Telegraphs Senator.
Portland is ready to take up arms
In the same fight. The following tele
gram was dispatched to Senator Cham
berlain yesterday by the Portland
Chamber of Commerce:
Tacoma papers have report of plan to
bond city for $2,000,000 to buy 70.000 acres
at American LaKe-Ior great division center
of Pacific Northwest. In our view this
plan clearly will kill all our purposes to
make this the brigade and divisional cen
ter for the Northwest. Repeated arguments
have been filed, showing strategic, geo
graphic and commercial advantage of es
tablishing this great center on Columbia
River. w'
Will donation of land y local Interests
to -Government be a controlling or any factor
in Government's selection of military center
for Northwest? If so, we must have oppor
tunity to make offer for this region. If do
nation of land by local Interests not con
trolling factor, what may we do to protect
this as the great center? We regard this
a matter of the utmost importance and
desire every opportunity to protect river
interests.
Kear for Vancouver Expressed.
"I am afraid the centralization of
military forces in the Pacific North
west near Tacoma may, almost cer
tainly result in lessened importance to
the Vancouver post headquarters, and
I certainly hope a suitable site can
be secured in proximity to The presen
post there." said O. M. Clark, presi
dent of the Chamber of Commerce.
"We should, as a community, tak
the' subject up actively at once and
fcoe what can be done to avoid fh
threatened change. I should not think
Senator Chamberlain would be apt t
act in any manner that would be detrl
mental to the interests of this dis
trice"
General T. M. Anderson, U. S. A., re
tired, who was for 12 years in com
mand of Vancouver Barracks, expressed
the opinion yesterday that Oregon in
terests should at once take action to
prevent, if possible, the loss of th
Vancouver military station, and he also
said he regarded it as too valuable to
ba abandoned.
General Opposes Change.
"The Vancouver site is too desirable.
he said, "in my opinion, for the Govern
ment to remove its soldiers. It has
cast the Government more than $1,000,
000 already, and ' the investment is
worth maintaining.
"Oregon should do all it can to main
tain that post and, in my opinion, an
effort should be made at once to find
out the approximate military strength
it is expected to keep in the Pacific
jNormwesi, so mat pressure can di
brought to bear to have a brigade pos
at Vancouver, even though a division
headquarters is established at Amer
ican Lake. It is not the usual military
policy to have all the troops in one
place.
State Action Is Urged.
"I believe that Oregon can assert her-
celf in this regard and if the new Army
bill is supported here as It should b
this state will, undoubtedly, be given
consideration in the placing of troops
in the Pacific Northwest. '
The strategic Importance of the Co
lumbla River post is believed here to
be sufficiently, -strong argument forta
1HUU
maintenance, and it Is the intention
locally to make a strong: campaign for
the retention of troops there.
Military men yesterday, who ' were
asked as to the probable effect on the
Vancouver post by the establishment
of the new headquarters at American
Lake, said they were not sufficiently
well informed of the plans to express
an opinion in the matter.
VANCOUVER MAY ACT TODAY

Loss of Brigade Headquarters.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Dec. 5. (Spe

here by the Chamber of Commerce con
cerning the proposal of Tacoma to es
tablish a division headquarters on 70,
000 acres of land near here, bonding
the county for $2,000,000 to do it.
What will be done, if anything, to
oppose this move on the part of Ta

There were only three streets

here in 1879.
First, Second and Third streets
marked the limits of the busi

Second and Ash streets. The
building is still there, but it is a

where fir trees grew and wild
flowers bloomed in 1879.
"It took us just 10 minutes to
make the rounds with our mam

said Mr. Primrose, recounting the

War Department Plans Can

ing Present Army Post.
MANEUVER SITE PRAISED
Senator Chamberlain Is Satisfied
With Secretary's Explanation
and Approves Acceptance If
Donation Is Made.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. (Special.)
The plan of the War Department, if
the American Lake camp site is pre-
ented to the Government by the city
of Tacoma1, is to establish on that site
cantonment and not to buildi there a
large permanent Army post.
That was the explanation made to
enator Chamberlain by the Secretary
of War when the Secretary! conferred
with the Senator on the project. Sec-
etary Baker specifically told Senator
Chamberlain that the American Lake
project would not in any way inter
fere with Vancouver Barracks and that
was not the plan to transfer the
"ancouver post to American Lake.
Secretary Baker steadfastly refused
to discuss this project with newspaper
men, referring all inquiries to General
Franklin Bell, commanding the De
partment of the Pacific, at San Fran
cisco. , Papers In Bell's Hands.
General Bell, he said, has all the de
tailed information regarding the proj
ect, and also has in his possession most
of the papers in- the case. Other offi-.
ials of the War Department know
little of the project, as the subject has
een handled personally by Secretary
Baker.
The assurance given by Secretary
Baker to Senator Chamberlain was en
tirely satisfactory to the Senator, who
tnen expressed his approval of the
plan to take over the American Lake
ite If it can be ha-d without cost to
the Government. He said he regarded
American Lake as the best available
maneuver site and training ground on
the Pacific Coast. If the American Lake
ite is donated to the Government, an
ppropriation will have to be made by-
Congress for the erection of certain
uiiaings, the installation 'of sewer ana
water systems and for making other
necessary improvements.
Bnlldlntrs to Be "Semi-Permanent."
The buildings to be erected, however,
are said to be of a semi-permanent
character, and not such as would be
rected' at a regularly established Army
post. While it is within the power of
the Secretary of War or the President
abandon any Army post, Congress
might make appropriations for neces
sary buildings at any new post the
Department may desire to establish.
and if it should later develop that the
war Department proposed to move
Vancouver Barracks to American Lake,
the project could be held up by Senator
Chamberlain by merely blocking ap
propriations for buildings.
On the assurance given him by the
Secretary of War, however. Senator
Chamberlain thinks there is no inten
tion to abandon Vancouver Barracks.

Franklin - Bell, Major-General, com

ims for Housewives Given.
CHICAGO, Dec. 5. (Special.) On an
average expenditure of 31 cents a day
a person for food. Health Commissioner
Robertson's "diet squad" of 12 made a
net gain in weight of 3 'Si pounds.
These are the outstanding results of
the two weeks' test which ended to
night and which was organized by Dr.
Robertson for the purpose of demon
strating the practicability of feeding
a healthful, grown person engaged .in
normal ' activities on an average of 40
cents a day or less. In fact, during the
Becond week of the test the average
daily expense per person was only
28 .cents, and Dr. Robertson, Miss
Lillian A. Kemp and Miss Anna C. John
son, who had charge of the buying and
preparation of the food, declared that
had the test run Into a third week they
would have shown the possibility! of
giving abundant and nourishing meals
at an average cost of 25 cents a day.
Practical Results Listed.
As to the practical results of the
test in the way of conclusion to be
drawn from It, these were figured out
by Miss Kemp, who is a director of the
School of Arts and Domestic Sciences,
in whose rooms the tests were held
and Miss Anna C. Johnson, dietitian of
the Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium
In a set of "food shoppers', maxims," as
follows:
Watch market and food advertisements
dally.
Menu making requires time and careful
thought, especially with regard to adequate
amounts.
Over-estimation means additional expense.
"Watch table refuse; It will guide you
both in planning and buying.
Go to market and make your own. se
lections, thereby getting better values.
Buy staples In bulk as far as possible
avoiding canned and package goods.
Purchase fruits and vegetables in season.
Make special effort to limit use of butter
and eggs while presest nign prices jre
vail. Make use of business methods in your
housekeeping.
Care In Menus AdvtHed
To these maxims were added further
suggestions by Mrs. Lyndon Evans,
president of the school. In a report to
Dr. Robertson on the results obtained
femifc should bo carefullv planned several
days in advance and the planner should
always bear in mind:
J What will satisfy the group In variety
and flavor.
2 vht will keen the rroun in health.
3 Judgment used in discriminating as to
quality and quantity in buying are important
factors in wise marketing.
4 Do vour menu making without discus
sion. If it is right your family will be
satlHfied.
To these suggestions Mrs. Evans
added these general maxims for mar
keting:
The use of less expensive foods is entirely
satisfactory when they are properly prepared
The cost of, living Is affected in a large
degree by the skill or carelessness of the
home-maker.
tinttintr n-nod use of your money is of
equal importance with getting the money.
Careless buying boosts prices.
Today every woman could become skill
ful in home-making. This knowledge li
within reach of all.

War brews about the corridors of
the Courthouse over the momentous
ssue of the appointment of a grand
jury bailiff.
Circuit Judge Gatens, who has been
enjoying the distinction of a presiding
judgeship for a little more than a
month, came to the conclusion Monday

the prerogatives of a presiding judge
and appoint the bailiff of the grand
jury.

then presiding, had named C. M. Dewey
successor. There was a presump
tion that he would remain permanent
ly, aV least until the judges of the
Circuit Court had given unanimous
sanction to another. But this presump
tion was in the nature of an unwritten
rule, to which Circuit Judges give, by
reason of their strict legal training.
scant attention.
So Judge Gatens up and told Bailiff
Dewey that his services were no longer
required and appointed D. W. Butler, a
Grand Army veteran, in his stead.
This was Monday. lesterday morn
ing. Judge Gatens left for California
for a month's stay for his health's
sake.
And Judge Davis' became acting
presiding Judge.
So Judge Davis up and dismissed
Bailiff Butler and reappointed Mr.
Dewey to the post of responsibility.
Circuit Judge Gantenbein is presid

It was agreed by the Sunday school

is a movement on foot, for which Rev.
Mr. Matthews is an ardent worker, to
systematize Sunday school work.
The workers enjoyed a dinner in the
main dining-room of the Y. M. C. A.,
where a number of impromptu-talks
were held.
More than 100 slides of model Sunday
schools were shown by Dr. Matthews.
Many of his ideas of a model Sunday

From now on the various Sunday
schools of the Congregational churches
of the city are going to try to work on
a more systematic basis, and give
credit to the pupils and teachers on a
percentage basis.
