TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
It Is evident that If a new naval or
military academy'ls to com from the
preparedness agitation, there will be
a battle royal for the location. While
enlargement of the West Point or
Annapolis Institutions will be urged by
members from the east, western mem
bers are already arguing that better
results will come by training part of
the warriors west of the AHeghenles.
While Senator Phelan has a bill
calling for $10,000,000 for a naval and
aviation academy at or near San Fran
cisco, Representative JJiller of Min
nesota, has another for an equal
amount for a military school on the
Fort Snelllng military reservation In
his state.
The Washington delegation is pre
pared to back Seattle for the naval
academy and the Oregon members
tand behind Portland. Doubtless
-Other states will present claims when
ever It shall appear that there Is a real
Chance for action.
It Is extremely nllkely that the
present congress will authorize the
building of a new academy, either na
val or military. Secretary Daniels of
the navy has made it plain that he
does not at present favor any expendi
tures for a new school, although the
contrary Impression was at one time
extant, and Secretary Garrison Is on
record as favoring a small addition at
West Point to care for emergency
needs.
Representative Kent's resolution
calling for an Investigation by the
heads of the war and navy departments
as to the necessity and advisability of
establishing new schools yet holds a
chance of success, and Is much more
promising than the bills fixing sites
and appropriating funds. The Kent
resolution, if enlarged to include the
entire Pacific coast in the scope of in
vestigation, will receive more consid
eration than any other.
rural post roads a compared to tha
total mileage.
The bill direct administration or
the work with the object of develop
ing a general system of roads leading
from towns and railroad stations Into
adjacent farming communities In such
way as to facilitate the transportation
of rural malls and marketing the pro
ducts of the farm.
RUSSIAN
FORGER
To Call Architect Soon.
Washington, Jan. 13. While the
architect who prepared plans and spec
ifications: ror the postofftce building
in Portland, has not yet been called to
Washington from his office at San
Francisco, it la considered almost cer
tain that he will soon be asked to come
here to talk over suggested changes In
the plana. "
These changes have relation to keen
ing the building within the cost limit
fixed by the appropriation, and nlo m
questions' of allowances made for
structural strain. It is understood that
thls does not: Involve any reflection
upon the . competency of the architect.
i requirements of the supervising
architect for public buildings are often
misunderstood by outside draftsmen.
Some time will yet be required to
completely check over the plans, and
to decide Just what cnanges should be
made so they will conform to the gov
ernment standard. What must be done.
If anything. In the way of changing
the materials to be used Is also an un
decided question. .
