From Its terms there would seem to be a small prohabillt of the establishment of a cantonment at Hermlston, unless the government should decide In the future to expand the facilities already provided for housing and training the troops. The ti"fram Is as follows: "Telegraphic reply was sent you lr Washington on October 23. notlfylnc ' you that Major Parks did not Inspect 1 any localities with the view of estab- !
