Army, and It Is evident from the attention the general ' 1 giving the elate troops that he re " ards this auxiliary fighting force as of as much consequence as the Regular Army, which comes directly under hla command. As a matter of fact. General Wood. "who In now recngnlxed a one of the most practical of all military men In the T'nlted State, entertains the opinion that the state militia would be our main de pendence in time of war; would soon cllpse the Regular Army and outnum- ' ber It. and. holding these views, the gen eral Is strongly of the opinion that the mllltla must be brought to the highest possible stage of development. On .October ft the National Guard As - aoclation will hold Its 12th annual conven tion at St. Iula It is planned to make Ms the largest and most important gath ering of mllltla officers ever held in tne I'nlted Btatew. and on that occasion Gen eral Wood, with 10 or more of hla aides, will address the convention and partici pate in the work of the assemblage. Wood Wants More Officers. At that mectinc General 'Wood will lay bare to the mll'tia officers many of his . . . I. vtmnoi. r)vitlnnnint f the state troops, and will undortake to enlist the support of the state offi cers for hh scheme of bettering their troops. Particularly will he seek the aid of these officers In his effort to secure the passage next session of a bill In creasing the number of Army officers, so that officers of experience, yet men on -the active list, may be detailed as Instruc tors tall state militia organizations. This WTI l now being framed by the War Department.' and will be . in shape for presentation to the state officers I" . Louis. General Wood Is not committed tirexlutcjy to the form of bill being drafted by the Department, and he la to take it with him In order to get the views of mllltla officers, and make such practical changes aa they may suggest. Mllltla to lie Itcal Defense. Speaking of the approaching St. Loula toeetlng. General Wood said: "I anticipate that this meeting will be sue of great Importance In the devel opment of an armr that will be a real de- efwv ia iitv '"' 7 ' -- - In order to have an army of the slie the tountry n?d. It Is atievlutely necessary lo lncrenee the efficiency of the organ lied mllltla. This Is not said in crtti rlam of the work of the officers of the National Guard. In conjunction with the Army officers, under the Dick bill great strides have been made In the improve ment of the National Guard -by Its offi cers. I found the personnel of the mlll- tta to be composed, of earnest and patri otic men. Both officers and enlisted men had given their time practically without . pay to the work of developing the Na tional Guard, but they have been ham pered by the lack of facilities and the lack of assistance which they should re ceive from the Government. Officers Should Have More Taj. "Not only should the mllltla be fur nished witn hlgh-cKss officers from the Regular Army as instructors; but it ap pears to me that some plsn should he de vised by which the National Guard should receive more pay. Most of the officers and men gtve up their vacations to work In encamptrents. and It Is my opinion that they should be well paid for this sacrifice. -Bv developing the organized mllltla we shall be able to strengthen the Army and Inrrease Its efficiency." said General Wood. In conclusion. "The sooner the Army and the organized militia come to realize that their In terests are mutual, the better it will be for both of them and for the coun try. I do not believe that we shall ever be able to enlist the Army up to the strength which the safety of the country demands, even if Congress should be willing to appropriate money to maintain such an army, and-on that account the state mllltla should be de veloped Into a real reserve for the Army."

COMMITTEEMEN ARE NAMED Republican County Central Commit tee Has F.xcltiiiK Sfssion. Frank Bollara was named for Stat committee mas last night by the Re publican County Central Committee, at special meetics; held at tie assembly hall of the Commercial Club. John L. Day was selected for congressional committeeman. An exciting incident attended the selection of state committeeman. George Btreeter not being a member of the committee, attempted to cast a vote. There were two nominations. Mr. Bollam and Chester G. Murphy. A roll call ballot by precincts was de cided upon and precinct 11 had been called for when Streeter stepped for ward and dropped a ballot lnbe tel ler's hat. saying It was for precinct 54. A call came from several parts of the hall that S4 had already voted. The matter was Investigated and 1 was ascertained that Streeter was not a member of the committee and not en titled to a vote. Calls of "put him out" and "send for the police" followed, and Streeter found himself the center of an Irate throng of committeemen. Many Insisted that Streeter be turned ojr to the police, but John F. Logan, chair man, said he thought It was sufficient to exclude him from the room, which was done. Streeter explained that he had been authorized by a friend of his to vote for 54. and that he thought the proxy was that of a bona fide com mitteeman. The result of the ballot was 4 for Bollara and 55 for Murphy. F. B. Alkus was nominated witit Pay for congressional committeeman. The bal lot gave Day 47 votes and A'.kus 2. Chairman Logan named a committee of five on rules: Thomas Fessler, M. Gersoni. Jay H. 1'pton. O. L. McPher son and John 1 Day. 714 ENTRIES RECEIVED IXTERKST IX FOURTH AVXCAIi HORSE SHOW KEEN".

SMALLPOX SJAMPED OUT Health Office Has Now Prevented Further Spread of Disease. No new cases of smallpox have been reported for more than a week and Health Officer Wheeler Is of the opin ion that the spread of the disease has been checked. The disease gained a foothold In the city by the false diagnosis of the rase of a man who went about with it after It was fully broken out over his face. Several cases appeared soon after the- contin ued exposure, and policemen were warned to be on the lookout for any body that should Show the symptoms of the disease. "Of course. I can't say for certain." said Dr. Wheeler yesterday, - "whether we have stamped it out entirely, but it has been so long since we have found a case of smallpox, that I am inclined to believe we have It under control." Two cases of diphtheria and five cases of scarlet fever have been report ed since the first of the month, but both diseases are making a showing less than they did last year at this time.

ST. IOUlS. Oct 4. The plan to ask Congress to place the National Guard on the Army salary list at rates of 5 to 15 per cent of the regular wages, was adopted at a conference of National Gunrd officers here this afternoon. General Leonard "Wood, who attended the conference, said the War Department would support the bill to appropriate J5.000.COO to I6.000.0UO for pay of officers and enlisted men of the Guards. Every boy in the United States more than 13 years old should be trained as a soldier, according to General Wood. "I would out-German the Germans, said the General, "by instituting compul sory military education - in all the schools. "Every boy 13 years of age or more should be compelled to learn to use a rifle as part of his school course. Then we would have a generation of crack marksmen. "I would have the boys Instructed In the rudiments of military science. They should be taught to throw up earth works and to plan scientific lines of de fense. These studies would teach them the Initiative In combat which modern warfare requires. "Military drill would be part of the compulsory education. The public schools would be advisable in this connection but not Indispensable. "Our standing army of 80.000 men Is far too small, and Congress should pro vide for its Increase to at least 140.000 men. We have not only the Philippines and Alaska to guard, but the fortifica tions at the Isthmus of Panama will soon have to be manned." He elaborated on his former statement of the use of aeroplanes by saying that the Beroplane will be the greatest aid to the Army in the future. Its useful ness, however, can be demonstrated only by young men who have money and time, as the Army Is facing an economical Congress.

That the commercial organliatlons and civic bodies of Portland are doing effective advertising for the city and all of Oregon Is shown by the fact that two New York publications last month contained carefully prepared articles covering the commercial situ ation of the state. On of the articles is entitled "Ore gon Past and Present" written by Bessie Gulnean Stone, and is cleverly done. The commercial relations of Port land and the state with foreign coun tries are set forth in a striking man ner. The article Is illustrated with views of Portland and the producing sections ef the state. It appears as the most Important article in Sim mons Magazine for September. The other article appeared in the Sun day issue of the New York American, September 25. entitled, "Oregon, a Haven for the Farmer." Dr. J. K. Wetherbee, president of the Civic De velopment League, is quoted as saying that Oregon offers greater opportun ities for energentic men and women, who desire to better their condition, than any section of the United States. Portland's strategic position as the financial and commercial center of the Pacific Northwest is emphasized in this article, and special attention is given to opportunities that are offered In all lines of agricultural pursuits. Beauty Spots in Yogue With Portlands Smart Set They Caa Be Acquired From Asy Passiaa; Vehicle Nowadays. BEAUTY spots have again become a craze among the members of up-to-date society, and although the Afternoon Style Association labored hard yester day with the subject no announcement was made aa. to the real thing to be used. Some women Insist on placing a heart shaped smudge on the left cheek and something that resembles the ace of clubs on the other. Some of the habitu es of Portland's Rlalto, soem to think that a tiny speck of black serves to disfigure the complexion with as much success. ' Beauty of the spotted variety is only skin deep, and a number of beauty spots may be acquired any day by attempting to crosa any of the downtown streets. If there Is no automobile handy to spatter you with mud there will usually be found a lumbering delivery wagon at tached to heavy footed steeds. As the latter skates over the hard-aurfaced pavements in which every citizen has a personal pride, beauty spots are scat tered promiscuously. But in any event there must be no fall ing away from the fad. We must have our women properly decorated. Beauty spots were in vogue after the decline of crinoline skirts, but as the young devotees of fashion in 1910 know nothing of the styles of those days, it is Just as well to let the sticking plaster trust In on the ground floor. A real neat beauty spot may be created at home, with the utw of a rolling pin. but in cas?s where flats are preferable to real homes. It Is suggested that the finger be dipped in soot from the stove and gently impressed on the cheek. It will not wash In the rain, but will gently smear over the countenance, and by a little attention can be made to-resemble any artlclo of furniture or animal that may be desired. $329,504 TAXES ARE IN Washington Commission Spends $38,000 In Collections.
