ARMORY BILL
PENDING AT
JUNE ELECTION
Referring to the bill paused by the
last lexialature to appropriate $25,
U00 a year for four years to build ar
mories for the National Guard of
the State, which will be submitted to
the people for approval or rejection
at una coming election, It seems per
tinent to 'Inquire If the people un
derstand the terms of the bill and the
necessity that exists for thia appro
priation. The Increase of values in
the State Is such that It is almost Im.
possible for companies, outside of
Portland, where a fine armory has
been provided by Multnomah county,
to find decent housing for the amount
allotted by the State for company ex
penses. Many armories now used
are more barns; wholly unfitted for
their, jjnrpose. The United States
government Is now furnishing nearly
Hi I 'of he military equipment for the
State troops, amounting annually to
more than-fifteen thousand dollars
and every captain Is responsible un
der his bond, for over $2000 of U.
S. property which he has no nteans
of properly caring for, and which
when lost, either ho or the State will
have to pay for: a great deal of this
property has already unaccountably
dlKlipeared, for under, thesn cir
cumstances to hold an officer finan
cially responsible for all the property
Issued him and yet provide him no
adequate means of protecting or car
ing for It doPB not seem tn the lay
mind to be right or lust. The mon
ey provided for In this bill Is mofe of
a loan than an outright appropria
tion' as It provides that rent shall be
paid to the State by each company
for HBe of the Armory. The compan
ies to he provided with armories lin
er this act are now paying about
r0D0 a year In rents which will in
bout thirty years time return the
whole amount to the slate treasury.
It la the policy of the Military Board
ihnt every town where a company ex-
iBts the ground shall be provided for
HOW IS THIS?
We can sell your property no
matter where located, or, if you
want to buy, we have the place
to suit you, no matter how
, particular you are. . . .

by the citizens of that town and when
completed the bulldln and ground
will belong to the state and Increase
In value with the Increase of popu
lation and business, so that in the
end, the State will lose nothing and
may make money on the transaction.
The way In which the money Is pro
vided, $25,000 a year, makes It an
appreciable tax which no one person
can possibly fel, while the benefit
tothe state will be enormous.
The State Militia is not only a
school for Instruction, In the military
art and preparation for war, but It
is one of the very best schools for
good citizenship. There Is hardly a
citizen in the State bat what would
have been benefitted and his charac
ter and usefulness Increased by serv
ing a. term In the' State Guard. To the
rising generation this kind of school
ing Is of Immense value, besides this,
the defense of the country must rest
on the people. When these buildings
are completed they will ureatly bene
fit the state guard. The armorieB
will be their homes, their military
club rooms, where they not only
meet and drill, but can hold their
games and athletic exercises and bo
clal functions, so necessary to keep
up lntoreBt and enthusiasm in the un
paid military forces. Congress will
never provide a sufficient army to re
lieve them from that necessity and
our people should take the same
pride the Swiss do In seeing to It that
every man liable to military duty Is
armed and trained to meet any emer
gency that may arise, and the Nat
ional Guard Is the only place to do
It. Instead of hampering and dis
couraging the men who are patriotic
enough to give their time to this
preparation and so make themselves
of Inestimable value to the commun
ity when trouble does come, the peo
ple should encourage and aid them
In every possible way.
In the report of the Adjutant Gen
eral" of the United States Army to the
Secretary of War the fallowing In
reference to Armories Is here copied.
It is evident that to obtain and
maintain a high degree of efficiency
in the militia, provision must be
made for the housing and comfort of
the troops, as well S3 for their equip
ment and instruction. The Militia of
the several states and territories and
of the district of Columbia has been
armed and equipped and has been
provided with ammunition, clothing,
and tentage by the federal govern
ment, and at the last session of Con
gress provision was made for the
equipment, construction, and main
tenance of shooting galleries and
ranges. In view of all this, It does
not appear to be unreasonable to ex
pect the States to provide facilities
for the training of the militia and for
the care and preservation of the
arniB, uniforms, and equipments fur
nished by the general government.

A lone highwayman attempted to

the front door of the office was

WITH BOOZE
Martin Mcljaughlln of Hammond.
Or., near Fort Stevens, Is bringing
suit against the Astoria Columbia
Ulver railroad for the caBh value of
66 gallons of whisky which was let
out of the barrel during transporta
tion from Portland to Hammond.
McLaughlin contends that the hsrre!
was smashed by rough handling.
The railroad company maintains that
the barrel was defective. At any
rnte, the booze was lost 5C gallons
of It..
According to one story the barrel
was tossed from the freight r oo
a couplo of bales of hay. When the
barrel hit the hay the bottom
Bmnshed In and the hav was drenched
with (2.25 whisky. During the fol
lowing night the hoboes gathered
from fur and near like the assem
blage of crawfish around a carcass
and not only lapped up all the booze,
but ate nil the hay. In consequence,
McLaughlin wants damages.
