T SITE Proclaims Siege EYED BY AGENTS OF BUILDING Engineer and Estimator for Los Angeles Firm Antici pate Possible Bid Call F. C. Dyer, engineer, and N. J. HamiU, estimator, both of the Griffith company, Los Angeles, today looked over the'site of the proposed Beagle-Antelope army cantonment.

Frank J. Van Dyke executive secretary of the civilian canton ment coordinating board, was back at his office today after spending Friday and Saturday in conference in Portland on civic matters pertaining to the projected army camp. Foresight Praised Mr. Van Dyke, who addressed the state economic council on the municipal problems Medford faces should the cantonment be constructed, came home with the feeling that the council would be helpful within the limitations of its authority. The council, he said, commended Medford and Jackson county for their fore sight in trying to solve in ad vance the many civic problems so large a project as a canton ment creates. The council ap pointed a committee to study conditions in Hcrmlston where construction of an ordnance depot has disrupted the city's economic and social life. Mr. Van Dyke also conferred with Curtiss M. Evarts, Jr., state sanitary engineer, and a general agreement was reached, he said, on what might be considered suitable means of public health protection. With housing in mind, Mr. Van Dyke made a check of Port land manufacturers to procure information on available sup plies of tents, stoves, etc. The coordinating board, he related, is thinking of utilizing tents for workers on the proposed camp if ether housing is not available.
