Critic and Wia Commendation Fifteen - Tear ' Service Ottcm "Wis. Medal. Governor George E. Chamberlain re viewed the Portland companies o the Third Regiment, Oregon National Guard, at the Armory last night. General Fred crick Funston and a party of IS United States Army officers witnessed the re view and its attendant ceremonies and drills. At their conclusion General Pun Eton and Governor Chamberlain both com mended the guard. highl The sentiments of these two men were echoed by each of the regular Army officers in attend ance. The guard made a. splendid showing in the drills and deserved the commendation it received. There was but little evidence that any of the members of the six com panies participating in the Tevlew and drills were anything but trained veterans. 5Tow and, then the regiment suffered a .little on account of a lack of room for complicated maneuvers, but this was to lave been expected. Upon rare occasions a little confusion was shown in executing orders, but the general showing of the guard was so good that enthusiasm in .speiklng of their work was manifested by all the Army men present. For more than two hours the men were snarched and countermarched: they passed through Inspection with credit; they re sponded to the trying riot drill or the difficult battery drill with enthusiasm and practically no confusion resulted in either of these two trials. And after it had all been completed and the crowd was begin ning to leave or to prepire to enter the ballroom, where the social features of .the evening were to be observed. General Funston turned to a friend and exclaimed: Praise for the Gnardmnen. "That review reflects much credit upon the officers of- the National Guard of Ore gon. It vras excellent." Governor Chamberlain a moment later added his commendation, saying: "The men did well. The drill was fine, and I am highly pleased -with the Oregon National Guard." The six Portland companies of the Third Regiment had been ordered by Colonel Everett to report at the Armory last night for quarterly Inspection. The hospital de tachment of the regiment was also in cluded in the order. The presence of Gov ernor Chamberlain and officers of the United States Army -was anticipated, and it was urged upon members of the regi ment that a good showing should bo made on behalf of the guard. Governor Chamberlain was accompanied by Adjutant-General C U. Gantenbeln, Colonel James Jackson, U. S. A.; Colonel S. C. Spencer and Colonel D. M. Dunne, members of his staff. "With General Fun ston came the following members of his staff: Major Evans, Adjutant-General; Major Felberger, Inspector-General; Colo nel "Wilcox, Chief Surgeon; Lieutenant Clark, chief signal officer; Lieutenant Mitchell, aid. Officers stationed in Port land who accompanied General Funston were: Captain Langfltt. Captain Mclvor and Major Rees. From Vancouver Bar racks the following post officers attend ed: Colonel Van Orsdale, Major Ebert, Captain Relchman, Captain Hawthorne, Captain Kenley, Lieutenant Waldo, Lieu tenant H. E. Mitchell, Lieutenant Ash broeok, Lieutenant Dewey, Lieutenant Allen, Lieutenant "Wagner, Lieutenant Hall and Lieutenant Bailey. The party occupied a box at the lower end of the hall, from which the point of vantage of almost every point on the floor was In good view. The entire party watched tho maneuvers of the troop with manifest interest and close attention. , The Governor - and his party. General Funston and the officers- from Vancouver were received by officers of the regiment as they arrived, early in the evening. Af ter the review the party was again the guests of the regiment. The gallery sur rounding the Armory floor recognized the members of the reviewing parties as they took their seats, and there was a burst of applause from the crowd. Arrangements for handling the crowd during the review were exceptionally well planned, and there was no crowding or disorder shown at any time. Attendance was by ticket, and the guard posted un der the direction of Lieutenant Gould and Lieutenant Rehnstrom. senior and junior officers of the guard, respectively, en forced the orders regarding guests of the regiment. The rigid enforcement of this rule contributed largely to the success of the inspection and review. For the dress parade the first battalion formed on the right. Major von Egloff steln commanding: the second battalion, under Major McDonell. on Its left; the Hospital Corps, under Hospital Steward Thomas Bodley, next, and Battery A, Captain "Welch commanding, on the ex treme left. The- review by Governor Chamberlain, commander in chief, was without inci dent. For the first time In the history of the guard, when the guard presented arms to the commander-in-chief, the bond, un der the leadership of Director John H. Everest, played the "General's March." Heretofore it has been customary to greet the commander-in-chief with a flourish. Mcduls for Officers. At the conclusion of the inspection Lieutenant-Colonel R. J. Jubltz. Captain L. W. Knapp and Captnln T. N. Dunbar -were called to the center of the Armory and Governor Chamberlain delivered to them handsome gold medals certifying their lo years or service in the Oregon National Guard. The medals are hand some emblems, gold enameled, bearing the state's seal Across the bar are the words "Fifteen years." indicating the character of the medals, while on a circle of ribbon are the words "For long and faithful service, 3 Reg. O. N. G." These aro the first medals ever pre sented a member of the Oregon National Guard for service of 15 years in length, Continuous service is not absolutely neces. sary, but the three officers given recogni tion last night have served almost con tinuously In the guard, two entering the eervico in and the third In 1SSS. The record of Lieutenant-Colonel R. G. Jubltz' service in the Oregon National Guard Is given in the application for the 2 5-y ear-service medal as follows: "Private. corporal and sergeant. Company I, First Regiment, January 24, 1SS7, to November 2S, 1S93. First Lieutenant. Company H. First Regiment, November 23. 1S93; Cap tain. November -2 iS9i; Major.

Captain L. H. Knapp joined . Company I. First Regiment, on January 24. 1SS7, serving with that company until 1S3L In that year he was made' ordnance sergeant for tho First Regiment, holding the posi tlon until June 25, 1S93. -Subsequently he was promoted to eergeant-major and later to Lieutenant and Quartmermaster. Since 1900 he has been Captain and Quarterxnas tor in the Third Regiment. Captain Dunbar's record Is told concisely by himself to be: "Enlisted in Company G, First Regiment, May 13, 1SS5; served until May 1, 1S3S. Served from May 1.

Commendation From Governor. In delivering the medals to the three officers Governor Chamberlain commended them upon tho showing they and the other members of the Guard had made. In a short speech he referred to the citizen soldiery of the country and pointed to General Funston and General Summers as examples of officers who had risen from private walks to places of honor in the Army. "The National Guard Is a safeguard for the country in times of peace," said Gov ernor Chamberlain. "In times of war it forms the backbone of the army. Tho National Guard and volunteers marched shoulder to shoulder up San Juan Hill with tho veterans of the regular army; In dif ferent hard-fought battles in the Philip pines they occupied a similar position. "Who will say tho National Guard and the volunteers did not do their share with the regulars? "We have with us tonight a man who rose from the position of a pri vate citizen to a General in the United States Army. I refer to your guest. Gen eral Funston. who has made a record of which we are all proud. A member of your own guard. General Summers, made an excellent record during tho same time. "You. gentlemen, have made records with the Oregon Guard of which you may be proud. You have been singled out as men who have served your country and your state with credit. I am presenting ! to you, on behalf of the Oregon National Guard, these medals not only account of active service, but also for fidelity to your country. Remember that they are given ! to you by the citizen soldiery of the State of Oregon." Tho companies were mustered immedi ately after the presentation of the medals. Company F. under command of Captain Frank S. Baker, made the best showing. The company had 62 men in line. Its en tire membership responding to roll call. This total Is within ono of the maximum limit for guard companies. Company B, captain t. . Dunbar commanding. showed five absentees out of Its total'0 strength of 43; Company C. Captain A.

Only one member of the band was absent, and all the staff and field officers were present. The hospital corps showed I two absentees. ! Fine Street Riot Drill. Colonel Everett conducted a regimental drill and Captain "Welch directed a light batters drill In which the members of Batterj" A. won freauent bursts of ap plause for the clever work done. The street riot drill. In which the Infantry par ticipated, created a diversion. After the marches and countermarches and after squares had been formed and broken the men were formed into a square again and three volleys were poured Into an imagi nary crowd of rioters. As the echo of the last round died away the crowd in the galleries burst Into applause and the re- view was over. A dence In the large drillroom on the second floor of the Armory followed the review.

Portage Road Appropriation, and Eddy Tax Lair Opposed by Baker .City People. Petitions for referendum on the port age road appropriation and the Eddy tax law are In circulation in Portland. They originated In Baker City. Their aim is to defeat both laws. The petitions do not, however, find much favor in this city because Portland Is in favor of opening water transportation to and from the In terior. The Eddy tax law is generally approved by the corporations of the state except those engaged in- mining, which compalin that they will be greatly bur dened by the tax. R. C. "Wright is cir culatlng the petitions. The law appropriating 5165,000 for the portage road was enacted by the united efforts of Multnomah County and East ern Oregon. Many people In Portland suppose that If Baker City were nearer Ve Columbia Its citizens would not un dertake to forestall the opening of that river. The Eddy law is acceptable to most of the corporations of the state. The corpora tions no doubt would be just as well sat- thPv nr hmmri tn h W-rPd for th nHv ilege they receive from the state, and they would rather pay the light tax of the Eddy law than the heavy tax of the Har ris and Davey bills, which failed to pass the Legislature. Corporations fear that if the Eddy tax should be defeated the people would demand the enactment of a law like that advocated by Harris or Davey for taxation of intangible assets corporations. Such a law would ex- D0Ee tnem t0 a tax on Iuu value or their real property, while adjoining nrop- I . .

The Eddy law will be- come operative iiay 21. it provides mat au corporations nere after organized In this state shall pay the fees herein set forth, and at the same time the anual license fee for the succeeding fraction of a fiscal year. The fees required are as follows: "Where the capital stock does not exceed $5000, a fee of $10; capital stock from $5000 to $10,000. a fee of $15; capital stock from $10,000 to $25,000. a fee of $2u; capital stock from $25,000 to $30,000, a fee of $3; capital stock from $50,000 to $100,000, a fee of $35; capital stock from $100,000 to $250,000, a fee of $45; capital stock from $250,000 to $500,030, a fee of $60; capital stock from SLVrtOOO tn SI 000 000 si fpv of rnnltnl stock from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000. a fee of j $90; capital stock exceeding $2,000,000, a fee of $100.

The annual license fee must be paid in advance, so that as the law goes Into effect May 2L all domestic corporations doing business in the state must file their reports during next June, and must pay their license fees before August 15, for the ensuing year. Failure to report or pay is punishable by a fine of $100. Foreign corporations and joint stock companies, before doing business in this state, must file with the Secretary of State a declaration of the purpose of the cor. poratlon, head office, capital stock, offi cers, etc., and appoint an agent in this state upon whom service of summons may be had, and must pay an initial fee of $50, and the proportion of the fiscal li cense fee for the remainder of the fiscal year. This does not apply to insurance or surety companies. Foreign corpora tions already doing business in this state have six months In which to file their declarations and pay their fees. No domestic corporation and no foreign corporation or joint stock company which Bhall have failed to pay Its annual license fee or other fee will be permitted to main tain any suit or proceeding until such pay ment Is made, and a plea in any suit that a company Is delinquent umst be tried before a case is tried upon its merits. The delinquent corporation cannot, however, take advantage of this provision. PLAXS FOR. MONUMENT. Leirls and Clarlc Directors Will Have It Ready for Roosevelt. The committee on fine arts of the Lewis and Clark directors will meet this morn- l ins at 10 o'clock to consider plans for the monument which they will erect In the City Park. This afternoon the committee on grounds and buildings will come to gether. This committee is studying how many buildings will be needed, and how much money should be expended on each. Last week the committee decided to recommend that $400,000 be used for build ings and $100,000 for improvement of the grounds. The committee on press and publicity will meet also to discuss with J.

Isaac Hill Says It Crumbles Avray, and the Jndge Takes a Leap From His Bench to See. The principal attraction at the Muni cipal Court yesterday was several hun dred pounds of concrete taken from a walk on the East Side. The man who laid the walk said the ' cement and concrete was all right. The. City Engineer's de partment differed with him and said it was all wrong. Therefore its presence in the Court was necessary. Last October a cement-walk builder, Godfrey, laid what he said was a good sidewalk on the street In front of the res idence of Isaac Hill, on Schuyler street, between East Nineteenth and Twenty-first streets. He put it in place, so he con tends, according to the law, and he there fore declares that what has happened to it since that time shall not blamed to him. Mr. Hill did not like the walk. It seem ed, to use his own words, a little "feeble." Not long after It was laid he was able to break it up, and it crumbled with a very slight pressure. He therefore wanted a good walk put In In Its place, or, at least, the old walk mended. It seems from the evidence that God frey was notified several times that he would better repair the walk or be pinch ed. He decided that he was mightier than the law. From subsequent proceed ings, however, he has learned that he was not so big and strong as he first supposed. Inspector J. K. Carr swore out a war rant for his arrest for violating ordinance 92S3, relating to the improvement of streets, and the wretched cement man was hauled to the municipal bastlle. After consultation at the City Hall, it THE WHOLE FAMILY Benefits by Pare Food. It has happened in a great many cases that one member of a family has begun the use of the scientific food Grape-Nuts, ' ana some of the other members have . taken up the food and while enjoying Its ! delicious flavor have been cured of va- I rl0"3 ailments and diseases which had sprung from the use of improper food. A lady of St. Paul, Minn., give3 an In stance of this. She says: "Our year-and a-half-old baby has. been changed by u.-nounwea cnua, ! suffering constantly from colds and gen- j!ss to a fit 5UbJect for a baby ..ttJL " . . . . . Ten. we.. S" to give her Grape- iNuts ana mint we stopped all other foods. nrlj in-inrnvamont , we could note the change from week to week. Baby was made well and strong. "But when I suggested It to my hus- oand, wno had chronic dyspepsia ter ribly, ne said: 'I have dieted enough. A man may as well die as to live on health foods.' But I persisted and one morning l served Grape-Nuts and cream to him. When he tasted it he was most agreeably surprised. For the first time in months his stomach and food agreed with each other, and since that time he has im proved until he is a stanch advocate of this delicious food. "From our family -the use of Grape Nuts spread to our friends and one In particular was very delicate and always sick, one day our physician. Dr. Ball. said to her: 'Go home and make It your business to eat Grape-Nuts. Eat It morn ing. noon and night She followed the doctors order literally and frequently made Grape-Nuts Into puddings and other dishes. The results have been a surpris ing gain in flesh and she Is now entirely free of all illness, nervousness and is rap idly getting strong again. Name fur nished by Poetum Co., Battle Creek, Mich There are scientific reasons why this food is as valuable to one member of the family as to another. It Is perfect for athletes, yet at the same time is pre- dlgested, and no stomach is so weak it will not relish the food. was decided that the best evidence against Godfrey would be part of his work, and I accordingly a huge -slab and several small- j er chunks of the alleged defective, walk were taken from their resting place and j brought over to the city jail. Here they remained in solotude and peace until the time for trial yesterday morning. Mr. Hill himself was first examined, and gave his statement of the case. Then, to the amazement of the witnesses and the. spectators. Inspectors Carr and Lillis staggered In from an anjolnlng room with tne geologic mass, it was thumped down on the floor of the court. In front of the witness stand, and the Inspectors made two more trips, with more evidence each time. Then Contractors John F. Seed. R. A. Marshall and "William Holz testified for the city that the walk was mostly sand, and poor sand at that. Seed said it was full of lime, and Marshall testified that it was not what he considered ideal by any means. Judge Hogue admitted he was not an expert, and he decided to seek knowl edge from the evidence before him. With a leap, he Jumped from his bench and examined the passive concrete on the floor. He danced on and stamped on it. and then he reached down and broke off a slice, very much as a small boy would break up a cookey. His Inspection satis fled him, and he went back to his curulo chair. Godfrey and another witness testified that the walk was good, and laid accord ing to the city's specifications. Judge Hogue, however, decided that more ex pert testimony should be furnished as to the constituents of the 'crumbly mass, and the case was continued until Satur day morning. NEWSPAPER ART EXHIBIT large Namber of Drawings and Paintings to Be Shotth. Owing to the fact that several other Important social events have been ar ranged to occur on Thursday and Friday evenings of this week, the Newspaper Artists' League has decided to postpone its exhlbtlon, which Is to be held in the Hotel Portland parlors, from those dates .to Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, April and 8. Some 200 or more sketches and large number "of very creditable pic tures of a more pretentious character have been placed in charge of Manager Leggat for the event. Besides all the local newspaper artists eight In number San Francisco and Los Angeles ar tists have contributed. The exhibition, while designed primarily to show the public the character of every-day news paper work before reproduction has damaged or improved on the original drawing, will yet include examples of more ambitious work in the line of water color, wash, pastel and chalk pictures. The display will be very general, con sisting of marines, landscapes, ideal heads, portraits from life, caricatures. cartoons, designs, character studies and all sorts of such scenes as are used for both magazine and newspaper Illustra tion. About $1000 has been subscribed by local citizens, which sum gives the exhibition a substantial footing. The subscribers will be "preferred" patrona, having the right of first choice of the pictures. Their selections will be made Friday evening. The exhibition will not be in the spe cial nature of a benefit to local artists, or to the illustrators of newspapers else where, but will be an affair of interest to all who are interested in art, particularly In the illustration branch of it. In this connection, line, zinc and half-tone etching will be shown by examples of work from a modern newspaper's engraving department. News paper artists' exhibitions have been quite a fad In Eastern cities of late, and have been uniformly very successful. The nec essarily hasty and frequently more or less crude work turned out In the ur gency of newspaper work misleads many people into the belief that the Illustrators can do no better, but these exhibitions are proving of much educational value both to the public and to the artists them selves, who are stimulated to show what they can do at their best. All pictures to be exhibited at the. Hotel Portland have been catalogued and priced by competent judges, who have endeav ored to treat the subscriber liberally, enc abllng them to secure much original work that is thought would generally command higher figures If ordered from publishers or otherwise purchased.

Manager of Portland's Most Progressive and Popular Piano Stands the Test HeNowSeiects a Beau tiful $555.00 Style 10 for His Home. Mr. George L. Baker, manager of Port land's popular theater, after a careful comparison of both the quality and prlco of many piano makes represented in Portland, selected a style 10 Fischer at the Allen & Gilbert-Ramaker Company's salesrooms last week. Mr. Baker said: "The Fischer piano In use at my theater has been a source of great satisfaction, and, although subjected to a severe test, seems better for the use. Mr. Seamans and other musicians have only words of highest praise for its tone and durability. For this reason I have selected a Fischer for my home. I believe it stands the test as no other piano does." (Signed) GEORGE L. BAKER. Many prominent people have purchased pianos of the Allen & Gilbert-Ramaker Company, and this is only an example of the hearty satisfaction expressed by a well-pleased customer.
