Chief of Staff of the Army. Thi summary calling of the Oregon Adjutant-General to the War Depart ment 1 generally regarded among Guard officers as another Indication of preparations for an expected crisis In Mexico. Inasmuch as some question has been raised as to the availability of the militia for foreign service It I known that the Washington officials are anx ious to learn the exact sentiment ex isting as regards active duty outside the country. Officer !horr Aaxlety. As to the preparedness and willing ness of the Oregon troops to engage in any military operations, at home or abroad, organization commander have advised headquarters that .every offi cer and man i not only ready but anx ious to take the field should troops be needed. That General Wood's use of the phrase "matters of grave importance" ran mean but one thing is the opinion of Portland officers. That one thing Is the attitude of the troops towards active service. Attorney-General Wlck ersham recently handed down an opin ion to the effect that the mllltla can not be lawfully called out of the United States. This opinion was followed by a bill now mfore Conprress to remedy the law and remove all question as to the availability of militia for any service. The War Department conference will occur May 1 at 11 o'clock, so General Wood's telegram announces.

General Llewelyn came from Seattle for the conference and the conclusion was speedily reached that the troops of both states are immediately avail able for Government use should they be required. of the steel for the bridge had been shipped, and that the company was shipping at the rate of 60 tons a day. He said the steel used in the new bridge will not be more than 3 per cent more than the estimate. He recommends that no guard rails be used on the bridge, and the commit tee decided this would be best. The committee will recommend that the Ex ecutive Board award to Crawford &. Company the contract for filling and excavating for the bridge approaches, the price being 83858.40. The Pacific Bridge Company bid 85474 for a gravel fill, and Harry Howard bid $2200 -for an earth fill, but did not provide for rolling. The contract was let for an earth fill. INDUSTRIAL- SECRETARIES TELIi OF WORK ACCOMPLISHED. W. II. Day Explains How Much Good Is Done in Construction Camps by Association Workers. The annual conference of the Indus trial and construction camp secretaries from all over the West Coast was commenced at the Y. M. C. A. yesterday. and will be concluded today. The coa ference will hear reports as to progress by the secretaries In charge of the va rious fields, and a programme will be mapped out for the ensuing year. W. H. Day, who arrived here recent ly from Chicago, In speaking of the work accomplished by these camps, pointed out that the railroads and big construction companies thought so highly of the work that as a rule they provided at least three-fourths of the money required for the buildings, and put up about two-thirds of the amount needed for the working expenses. The buildings, whlchr are usually ot brick, contain the ordinary sleeping rooms or dormitories, lockers, etc.. and in addition have an all-night lunch counter and a special first-aid course, on accountof the number of accidents occurring In such work. Welfare work, coupled with this instruction, and pro vision of good lodging for men have done a great deal to Improve the condi tions existing among Isolated workers. After the opening devotions, the morning session was devoted chiefly to reports from various secretaries, while during the afternoon. following a first-aid" demonstration by Dr. J. Norman Pease, addresses were given by C. W. Blanpied. of Tacoma. on "The Foreigner at Tacoma. and by A. jh. Grilley. of the Portland Y. M. C. A., on The Care of the Machine.

HIGH WATER FEAR HURRIES SURVEYS RaiDh Modieski, txpert on New Bridge Plans,- Allots Month for Work. 33 SOUNDINGS START AT ONCE JS BRIDGE WILL BE LIGHTED Scheme to Illuminate Broadway Structure Outlined. An elaborate ornamental light'ng scheme for the new Broadway bridge and heavy streetcar rails which will make it unnecessary to tear up the pavement and remove them If It Is de sired to provide for a broad-gauge track, were decided upon by the bridge committee of the Kxecutlve Board at Its meeting at the City Hall yesterday. The plan Is to outline the entire bridge in electric lights. Ralph Modjeskl. the engineer In charge of the construction of the bridge, said when he visited the plant ot the Pennsylvania Steel Company last week about 12 per cent Young Persons Are Said to Be Tak ing Great Interest In Making Competition Success. Portland newspapers are soliciting funds for procuring prizes for the win ners in the school children s garden contest, in which there are more JJian 8000 contestants, and they are endeav oring to raise 8600. A committee of the Merchants' Asso ciation composed of E. J. Jaeger. W. A. Knight and R. S. Sanford was appoint ed to secure $400 worth of merchandise, which later will be distributed in arti cles valued at $5. $3 and $2 as prizes. The garden contest has occupied the minds of the school children ever since the Idea was advanced. They are taught that the producers are as valua ble as they make themselves. The price of an acre may be high in dol lars but low in buying price if properly cultivateu. After learning how to grow vegetables the children will be taught where and when to grow them. The Oregonlan has received the fol lowing donations: The Oregonlan. 825; Knight Shoe Company. 85; Olds, Wort man & King, 810: Eller Piano Com pany, 81: Lennon's, $10.

Experienced cooks every where say that there is no other Baking Powder in the world to equal Engineer Says Government Should j Aid Paying for Structure, Which Will Connect Interstate High ways Cost $2;ooo,ooo. Owing to the fact that high water is expected in the Columbia River soon preliminary surveys for the proposed new bridge from Portland to Vancouver will be rushed. This was the announce ment yesterday of Ralph Modjeskl, the entrlneer who has been engaged to make the preliminary drawings and estimates of cost ot the bridge. "I will see that my men make the soundings and other necessary prelim inary work on the bridge plans as soon as possible." he said. "The water Is expected to rise in the river soon and we want to have everything through with by that time. I expect we will be able to finish the work in a month. "The bridge will be one of the longest highway structures In the country and wiilmark a very intricate engineering feat. I think from what I have been able to glean from looking over the eround and making preliminary rougn drafts that the bridge can be built for $2,000,000. ' Just how this should be raised is a question which only the neoDle out here can determine. I should think the Government wftuld be willing to pay a share of the cost inas much as the bridge is interstate and connects the links of a great inter state highway. The bridge project received enthusi astic support yesterday when Mr. Mod. leski declared before 2o0 persons at tne Progressive Business Men's luncheon at the Hotel Multnomah that tne proposed span would be of inestimable benefit. not onlv to citizens of Portland and Vancouver, but also to the residents of the two states. Mr. Modjeskl, considered one of the foremost bridge engineers In the United States, having visited the site of the proposed bridge earlier in the week, ex plained the manner la wnict. prelim inary surveys and borings should be undertaken and the different engin eering problems that would have to be solved. He declared, however, that there would be no serious obstacles to be met In the construction of the bridge. "The bridge will serve as a connect ing link for the great Pacific Highway,' said Mr. Modjeskl. "It will b. of un told benefits to the people of the two states. The project has been Indorsed bv the residents of Washington al ready, and it seems that the entire citizenship of Oregon is behind the plan. ' S. C. Rasmussen, chairman of the meeting, and F. B. RiUy. chairman of the Commercial Club bridge commit tee, and president of t.ie Pacific. High way Association for Oregon, pointed out the need of the bridge, declaring that It would aid in the development of the Northwest.
