Will Ite Taken Up lit the Meeting to lie Held ill A-iorln April 12 Dr. C. .1. Smith Is On u Special Commit tee to I'oriuuliue Some Plan of Ac tion anil Report nt That Place and Time Suggestion Is Made That a Central Sanatorium nnd Minor One Me Appointed. Dr. C. J. Smith has returned from Portland after having attended n meet ing of the state board of health, of which he Is now president. When questioned tills morning regarding the session he said: "It was a special meeting of the board nnd was called for the purpose of discussing plans for the proposed open air sanatorium for consumptives. For some time rthe board has been Investigating the subject and through the seoreturv. Dr. Yenny, has been corresponding with nenrly all the san atoilums In the country, ns well as with the oilier hoards, of health. II was finally decided to take the matter up ngaln at the meeting to be held nt Astoria on April 12, nnd a committee consisting of Dr. Andrew C. Smith, of Portland, Dr. Pierce of Salem, and myself, wns appointed to formulate some plan of notion, and to report at that time." While no definite plnns have yet been mnde regarding the sanatorium. It hns been suggested that one Inrge Institution be established nt Portland, and Rrvernl minor ones In different sortlons of the state. The argument In favor of consump tive sanatorlums Is that the dread disease may be treated In nny climate, and that when a victim Is cured under the environments in which he con tracted the disease he will not be so liable to nnother nttnek as if he had taken treatment In a different section. Hy the use of open air snnntnrlums It is maintained that one-hnlt the suf ferers from consumption can be cured and It Is the belief of physicians thnt by establishing such Institutions and properly trentlng those afflicted, the dread disease may some day be wiped out completely, or at least robbed of Its terrors, as has been the case with smallpox.

American Service Badly Lacking In Some Kosects. Washington, D. C, Feb. 9. In Its recent report to Seeretnry of the Navy Bonaparte the Joint army and navy board has strongly urged the need of providing the naval service with a re serve supply of guns of nil calibres and the corresponding ammunition. Despite the previous recommenda tions nothing has been done by the FOR SPOKANE TRAIN cars will be models of convenience nnd attractiveness nnd will be welcom ed by the public which uses this train. The enrs will bo equipped with kitch en, dining room, bu'fet apartments, observation room nnd pnrlor and will bo unlike nny enrs now In service In the west. The Pullman which has been In ser vice on this line for the past 18 months hns been extensively patroniz ed and the new service will be even more convenient and practical for a daylight run, government toward getting such a supply of war material. It Is roughly estimated and the es timate Is considered conservative, that It will require nearly $10,000,000 to obtain guns and ammunition abso lutely necessary. As the situation Is today, our vessels are without guns of any sort to replace those suddenly dis abled or withdrawn from service. The reserve supply. It is estimated, should be 25 per cent of the guns now In service, while the reserve quantity of powder must be much greater. It Is said in the report of the Joint army and navy board that it would not take more than half an hour for a ship to exhaust Its supply of ammu nition and, of course, In time of action such provision must be made to re plenish the depleted magazines. This can be done according to a plan of fered by the Joint board by having ammunition ships, which would have to be especially designed to carry vast quantities of powder and shell, and be accessible to the vessels on the firing line. At present, the board points out, the only way we have of getting ammunition to a ship is by means of one of the colliers which Is specially fitted for this purpose. It is believed that the ammunition could be acquired and retained In stock. There may be a large quantity of smokeless powder stored without fear of Its deterioration. The powder experts of the navy say that the latest type of ammunition may be depended upon to keep without serious change, and that the only variation Is due to evaporation, which does not affect In any way the stability of the powder. The failure to acquire reserve guns and powder Is regarded by this Joint board as of the utmost gravity. Will Inquire Into Hazing. Washington, Feb. 9. The house committee on naval affairs today ap pointed as a sub-committee to go to Annapolis to Inquire Into hazing, Vreel and Chairman Loud, Davidson, Pad gett and Gregg. FRUIT TRAIX WRECKED.

Portland, Ore., Feb. 9. The Mult nomah club of this city started the campaign ball to rolling last night by the adoption of reso lutions setting forth some things for which the minority party Intends to fight the coming election.
