TRAINING BEGINS
AT AMERICAN
LAKE
Squads of soldiers from Pacific
Coast and I liter-mountain states
are taking their first army drill
at Cama Lewis on the shroes of
American Lake near Tacoma.
It is the largest army cantonment
in the United States and when the
full force of the selectvie draft is
carried out, not later than October
5, it Bill contain 46,099 officers
and men. The cantonment site cov
ers 75,000 acres and embraces sev
en lakes, forest, stream, prairie and
salt water reservation. It was
presented to tlie government by
the people of Pierce county, Wash
ington, of which Tacoma is tlie
largest city. They bonded them
selves for $2,000,000, bought the
land and turned it over to the gov
ernment. At that time it was in
tended to use it for a division post
a8 war had not been declared.
The site was selected by Maj.
Gen. J. Franklin Bell, now command
ing the department of the Bast,
who first surveyed it in 1895, and
saw its value as a training ground
and strategic point.
When congress created tJiQ nation*
al army the government built on
this site a military city in eight
weeks, employing 10,000 men and
costing $4,000,000. This is exclus
ive of the base hospital now under
construction which will cost $504,
000 and will have equipment worth
another half million dollars. It
will have a capacity of 6,000. Per
manent water, sewerage and light
ing systems liavg been installed,
sufficiently extensive to meet the
needs cf a citv of 200,000 inhabi
tants. The barracks and mess halls
are <>uilt in rows for miles. The
staoles at tli$ remount station will
a commodate 15,000 horses and
niu.- i
The Nisqually airie where ma
neuver* will b<j held in seven and

Sound regions will allow for train
ing twelve months a year. The eart

HONDURAS INDIGO
REVIVED BY WAR
TIME DEMAND
Consul Francis J. Dyer, Teguci
galpa sends the following informa
tion;
Tlie war-time demand for dye
stuffs ha* revivified the ancient
indigo industry of Central Ameri
ca. Honduras had never wholly
abandoned the cultivation of indi
go, tor although it ceased to yield
a profit as au export, in competi
tion. with, thu synthetic output of
commercial laboratories, it is still
tound in general domestic use
among f>e people. The processes
are crude, however, but if the in
dustry could be assured of a satis
factory future, improvement would
be feasible.
The center of the indigo industry
in Honduras is around Camasca,
which is in the southern portion
of the Republic, close to the bor
der of Salvador. The product is
marke'ed in Salvador, and does
not show in the export returns of
Honduras.
A correspondent of the Neuvo
Tiempo of Tegucigalpa, in a recent
issue of that newspaper showed
'bat the acreage in indigo around
Camasca had increased from 1,367
manzanas in 1916, to 3,585 man
zanas in 1917 (mauzana—1.72
acres). The production, even with
the primitive methods of cultivation
and extraction in use, is about 30
pounds of indigo per manzana, so
that tb" output of this small dis
trict should approximate 100,000
pounds this year.

MINERS OF YUKON
The new federal Canadian laws
covering conscription, income tax,
meatless days and other measures,
apply to the Yukon territory the
same as to other parts of Canada.
However, assurance is given that
exemption boards will exempt all
men engaged in the necessary work
of the Yukon, and in view of the
iarpe number of enlistments already,
and the special conditions }n the
intericr, it is reasonable to as
sume that the exemption boards,
which comprise the local tribunals,
will do nothing unnecessarily to
impair the productiveness of the
mines.
The Yukon has contributed ten
per cent, of her men voluntarily
which is twice the average per
centage for the whole dominion to
date, so if the other provinces can
be brought to this level the Yukon
will not be expected to send a
large additional number of men
now. i i
The meatless days are now ef
fective on the steamers on the Yu
kon operating between Whitehors
and Dawson.
It is generally believed; accord
ing the latest report that the
exemption boards will not impair
the working force of the Yukon.
SOCIAL DINNER
A chicken dinner will be served
at the Pullen House Tuesday even
