I M ARMORY
WORKING VIGOROUSLY
FOR $100,000 APPROPRIATION.
At Meeting Next Tuesday a Commit
tee Will Ik Appointed to Begin Ac
tive Work for the Armory Bill
Which W1U Be Voted Upon Next
June Many Arjramcnts Advanced
for the Measure.
Members of company L of this city
are going to take It upon themselves
to assist in upholding the armory
appropriation bill when it is voted
upon In June. At the meeting of the
company next Tuesday the annual
n0!ne meeting will be held and at
that time a committee will be select
ed to have charge of a small cam
paign that will be waged here.
At present Portland Is the only city
In the state having an adequate armory-
The local company, as well as
others stationed throughout the state,
has rented quarters which are not al
together suitable. As will be recall
ed, the last legislature appropriated
$100,000 for the building of new ar
mories for companies qutside Port
land. The measure was referred for
popular vote.
As Is pointed out by local mem
bers of the Oregon national guard,
the success of the mpasure is a mat
ter directly concerning this commu
nity, as It would doubtless mean the
establishment here of a handsome
new armory.
An armory of modern type would
facilitate the training of volunteer
forces and -afford" better protection for
military stores and property kept
here: not to mention the saving In
rentals to the state.
Figures show that In a period of
four years the armories would be
largely paid for while In a dozen years
they would be earning money for the

state, through savings of stiff rentals,

Modern warfare, It Is pointed out
by military experts. Is a fine art.
The combatant must e trained In
the art of war or he stands no chance.
The olden days when the volunteer
might leave his farm or business and
rally to the defense of the flag on a
minute's notice, has gone by.
It has been repeatedly pointed out.
says nn authority, that the United
States would be In a sore position
should war break out unexpectedly
with some worthy power. One thing
sure, the national guard would be
thrown out as the first line of de
fense and would have to cope with
the enemy practically unaided until
a volunteer army could be mustered,
trained and put In the field on a
fighting basis a process that would
occupy about a year.
Certainly, as has been repeatedly
pointed out by military experts, the
country can little afford to place
any obstacles In the way of better
training facilities for as many men as
possible.
The armory appropriation bill
seems to be wholly one-sided In Its
uppeal. Everything can be said In Its
favor with nothing In the way of
obectlon except from contrary or
poorly Informed persons who seem
to guage everything by dollars and
cents and have little at heart the
future welfare and safety of the
country.

NEW GUNS ARE HERE.
OonggUxy L Now Fully Supplied With
New Springfield Rifles.
The new Springfield rifles for the
use of company L have now arrived
and henceforth the local guardsmen
will use them Instead of the old
Krag-Jorgeson guns with which the
company has been equipped. The old
guns will be shipped back to the war
department, though the adjutant gen
eral's office.
The new gun Is the Springfield,
model 1908, and Is the most approv
ed army gun now made. It Is simi
lar In some respects to the Krag and
also the Mauser rifle, but Is shorter
and lighter than either of those guns.
It Is especially adapted to long range
shooting. It Is equipped with a knife
bayonet which Is longer and stronger
than the old bayonets.
NO ARBOR DAY PROGRAM.
Trees Had Been Set Out by Schools
Some Time Ago.
Arbor day has not been observed
by the Pendleton schools and Instead
of the usual half holiday and tree
planting programs, the time has been
devoted to regular school work. The
reason why the day has not been ob
served Is that the official arbor day
comes too late for succesful tree
planting and the trees that were
needed by the local schools were set
out some weeks ago.
At the high school this afternooi.
a field and track tryout Is being held
for the purpose of selecting those
who will compete for the school In
the meet with Pearson academy next
Friday.

5,337,084 Trees Total Area Is 71.
Acree and New Acreage Is Being
Planted Constantly.
Olympla, April 10. The governor
Is in receipt of a partial report from
Commissioner of Horticulture F. A.
Huntley dealing with the records of
his office to the beginning of the
present season of 1908.
Mr. Huntley states that the very
general lack of Inspection service
has made It difficult to secure the
necessary date for a complete report,
but he has the work under such
headway that he hopes to cover the
subject In a fuller manner In a later
report.
From the Information gathered the
report shows a total of 71,162 acres
that are planted to apples, with 5,
337,094 trees; 6504 acres of pears,
with 861.892 trees: 10.630 acres of
peach.es, with 1.392,700 trees; 7434
acres of cherries, -with 357,674 trees,
and 7977 acres of plums and prunes,
with 1,044,946 trees.
In addition to the foregoing there
are 133.883 trees of apricots, quinces,
nectarines, almonds and English
walnuts. The total number of acres
in the state devoted to the raising of
small fruits Is 12.325 at the beginning
of the year, 1908. the value of the
orchards In the state was $93,872,600.
Mr. Huntley further reports that
he Is formulating plans for a state
horticultural exhibit at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
exposition on a scale
commensurate with the great Import
ance of this Industry In this state.
PROHIS ARE ORGANIZING.
Antl-Saloan Iicague of Washington Is
Ready Tor the Fray.
The Anti-Saloon league of Wash
ington Is planning a vigorous cam
paign for this state this fall and Is
said to be strengthening Its forces an
along the line, says the Spokane
Chronicle. At the meeting of the
headquarters committee held last Fri
day afternoon the Rev. W. J. Herwlg
of this city, district superintendent of
the league, was elected assistant su
perintendent This will In nowise
change Ills relation to the Spokane
district. His headquarters will still
remain in this city, but the promotion
Is said to have been given in recogni
tion of his ability.
The new superintendent of the
league. Rev. Royal W. Raymond, feels
that the importance of Tacoma as a
league center has not been fully ap
preciated and has been planning to
open up headquarters of the league
In that city. He has called upon the
Rev. W. A. Spalding D. D.. pastor of
the First United Presbyterian church
of Seattle, to become the superintend
ent of this district.
Dr. Spalding Is widely known In
this state, particularly In this city,
where he was pastor for 10 years pre
vious to his going to Seattle, where h
has made an enviable reputation for
himself in the pastorate of the First
church, practically doubling the mem
bership of the church and Increasing
the general giving of its members
from $12 to 24 per capita per year
and has placed it In the front rank
of missionary churches, the contrib
utions to that cause alone approxi
mating $6 for each member of the
church
MANY SEEK LAND.
Over $800,000 Worth Sold in One
Idalio District in Three Months.
The report of the United States
land office In Coeur d'Alene shows
that about $800,000 worth of land
has been given away by Uncle Sam In
that district during the past three
months, says a Spokane paper. And
the district comprises only three coun
ties In Idaho Kootenai, Bonner and
Shoshone.
Fifty persons have proven up on
their claims, aggregating about 8600
acres, for which the government re
ceived nothing. Seventy-three per
sons filed applications for 11,680
acres more. Of those who made fi
nal proof only 15 commuted, netting
the government about $3000. From
the 79 timber and stone filings the
government received $28,. 144.90. and
$2855 was received for 515 acres of
mineral land.
Much of the homestead land, ap
plied for and proved up on, is well
covered with timber growth and Is
estimated to be worth about $500,000
and the timber, stone and mineral
lands are estimated to value some
thing like $300,000, making a total
of $800,000.
Pleasunt Dance Given.
A pleasant dance was given by
June Hive No. 10 of the Lady Macca
bees at armory hall last evening. A
large crowd enjoyed dancing until a
late hour. Johnson's orchestra furn
