Secretary of War Tall Suys American
lake Will Be Cliosen for Perma
nent Army Post of the Northwest
and Most of the Smaller Posts Will
lie Suspended Boise Slay Be Re
tained and Vancouver Will Remain
Intact.
A speclul dispatch to the Oregonlan
from Washington, D. C, states that
Fort Walla Walla will ultimately be
abolished and Secretary of War.Taft
Is credited with making the statement.
Among other things the dispatch
says:
"The time is coming when we will
have to have a large army post on
the north Pacific coast." said Secre
tary Tnft. In discussing the staff Idea
of centralizing troops' at a few big
stations. "We have had a board ex
amining sites In Washington and
Oregon." continued the secretary,
"and that board has reached the con
clusion that the American Lake camp
situated near Tacoma, Is the best lo
cation In that entire northwestern
country for a permanent brigade post.
"Of course," he added, "we will not
establish an army post at American
Lake in the Immediate future. It will
be years before that post is establish
ed, for there are other posts to be
built up first, and then we will have
to look to congress for the money
necessary to buy a large tract of land.
The American Lake site can be had
on very reasonable terms.
Will Abandon Small Posts.
The general staff of the army long
ago conceived the Idea of abandoning
a number of the smaller army posts
and concentrating the troops at a few
well-selected stations.
"Just what posts will ultimately be
abandoned has not been finally deter
mined, nor is it positively known what
posts will be enlarged.
"With some few exceptions the
small posts will have to go, as the bri
gade posts are built up. The loca
tion of a brigade post at American
Lake will probably result in the
abandonment of Fort Walla Walla,
which Is purely a relic of old Indian
days, and there Is a possibility, if not
a probability, that Fort Wright, near
Spokane, may also be dispensed with.
Vancouver V."U1 Remain Intact.
Vancouver barracks, however, Is to
remain. Troops at Vancouver can
leave at short notice for any portion
of Oregon, Washington or Idaho, and
moreover can embark as really on
transports that come to the docks of
Portland. In case there Is urgent need
for troops In Alaska or In the orient.
Boise barracks Is one of the few
small posts that will probably be re
tained under the reorganization. It
Is the only garrison In Idaho and
serves a section ol country not read
ily reached from the forts In Wash
ington or Utah. From many points
of view a post in Idaho Is demanded
not a brigade post, but a post that
will accommodate a full battalion of
cavalry.
"SIX BIT" COMPANIES.
P.ead th East Oregonlan.
Portland Puts Cheap Concerns oil the
Blacklist.
On the book containing the list of
fire insurance policies carried by
Multnomah county on its various

In these companies promptly on expi
ration. "We Intend to have the best there
is," said Commissioner Barnes this
morning, "and any company that re
fused to pay face value on San Fran
cisco policies will lose our business."
The judge and commissioners say
they do not wish to accuse any com
pany of belonging ' In the "six-bit"
category, but they accept the publish
ed reports of the actions taken by
these companies as prima facie evi
dence against them, and before they
will get any more county business
they will have to prove conclusively
to the judge and commissioners that
all San Francisco losses were paid In
full at 100 cents on the dollar.
The county carries about $60,000
Insurance on the bridges, the ferries

ins to the Mountains.
That the hot spell Is not over Is
very evident from the manner In
which old Sol has boiled down upon
eastern Oregon during the past few
days. Those who were gullible
enough to expect some merry from
the heat after the warm days Just be
fore and after the Fourth, have been
forced to abandon such hopes. Dur
ing the afternoon yesterday the tem
perature reached a point as high, if
not higher than on tho glorious
Fourth.
At 3 o'clock In the afternon the 110
mark was passed on the east side of
Main street. It was Impossible to
secure the official record owing to
the fact that H. F. Johnson, weather
observer, and family, have been driven
to take refuge in the mountains.
Within the past few days dozens of
families have left the city to go to
the mountains, or sea coast to remain
during the torrid days. Many more
are preparing to leave tonight or to
morrow, and there are Indications
that Bingham Springs will be well pa
tronized tomorrow. In order to spend
Sunday away from the heat and dirt
of the city scores of people will leave
on the easlbound trains tonight and
tomorrow morning. Those who are
forced to return in time for business
Monday will come back on No. 5 to
morrow night, or on No. 1 Monday.
