The openinj day of the fifth annual stock show of Union has j passed and all records for high-class stock, for track Bports and attendance for opening day have been eclipsed. Tonight the rood people of this com ins little city, from the president of the show association down to the -humblest 'and lowliest, are happy and Jubilant. The weather has been simply perfect. Indeed, a fairer day never dawned and Insert over this picturesque and pro lific valley than was enjoyed today. Shortly after noon, through streets "thronged with people, the affair opened . with the parade, headed by President George Benson, followed by the Union band. Then came the beautiful float of the queen, Miss Tenona Cross, and she looked as lovely as any real, queen ever looked. With her were her four beau tiful maids. Misses Carnle Vandervan ter, Edna Eames, Etta Brown and Ag nes Bideler. Horse Is Kins in Parade. Then came the horses, the ponies, the women and men mounted, the North Powder band, other equestrians and .equestriennes, boys riding and driving, Shetland ponies, cowboys and cowgirls, Imported and thoroughbred horses, led and driven.- Then, but why repeat? It was a great parade, over half a mile long, a parade In which the horse was ing. At the fairgrounds on the edge of town the grandstand of former days has been doubled in capacity; the shed and stables nearly doubled and the track has been put In fine condition. The fun there began faat and furious. :The first event was the judging- of the equestriennes, nine contending for prises. Beauty of costume, the paces and style of the horses, the pose of the rider all of these counted. After thorough Inspection Miss Exer White, Mrs. R. C. Klngsley and Mrs. Myrtle DeLay took first, second and third prizes in the order named. Then a silver cup, presented by the O.-W- R. X. Company, was awarded to Jack McCarthy, of La Grande, for the -appearance and action of his Morgan stal lion, Dan. . . Burkina; Exhibition Given. In this contest grooming, behavior and the general action of the animals only were taken Into consideration. Then came the high jumpers, the Shet land pony race, an exhibition of buck ing followed by a half-mile race, best two in three. This was won by Ro rheda, driven by Mqrstam; Tom Avack second: Delraos. third. Bast time 1:06. A flve-elghtas ralle dash for the win ners, then a 2:30 trot, best two In three, more bucking, then the chariot and relay races. The 12H-mile relay, each rider having six saddled horses, a change from horse to horse every half mile, was bitterly contested for 14 rounds between Fred Spain and Alton Jleneford, but Spain quit cold at that point when Heneford headed him for the first time. He said he and his mounts were all in. Another relay race of three rounds, IVi miles, between Misses Ollle Osborne and Genevieve Pierce, was won by Miss Osborne. This was, up to that time, the most exciting contest of the day. Miss Osborne won out by less than a length. The chariot races were also very ex citing. There were two of theBe, two teams of four horses each In each race. The lust heat was won in 69 seconds by less than half a length. Taken in Its entirety it was an aft ernoon of "some" sport, and tomorrow promises Just as much fun. There were probably 2600 people on the grounds today, but tomorrow will see a much larger crowd. About SO automobile loads are coming from Baker and large delegations from La Grande and all the other nearby towns. HOOD RIVERMAN HONORED liofcseor Henderson to Act as Guide to Botanists.

ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. "Wash ington, June 6 To provide pay for the organized militia of the several states and to make the state militia available for service In foreign coun tries are two reforms which Secretary of War Garrison has set out to accom plish, with the aid of CongresB, and he is now at work on a bill or bills which will make these changes, otherwise Im prove the militia of the several states and make It mnr fffAivD . Jum-t of the Regular Army. i. uere nas peen considerable talk dur ing the past year or two about the ad visability of passing a militia pay bill and such a bill was fairly well matured during the last Congress, though it failea of passage. Never has Congress given serious consideration, however, to the question of allowing the state mili tia to serve In a foreign country. Sec retary Garrison believes the time has come when both these things should be provided for by Congress, and he so declared at a conference recently held at the War Department. Fund Proposed for States. Secretary Garrison proposes to en large the present Dick militia law in such way that the Federal Govern ment, through the states and not by direct appropriation, shall pay the members of all state militia organiza tions. He proposes that Congress shall appropriate a lump sum annually for the pay of the militia, this lump sum to be apportioned among the states In proportion to the strength of the re spective militia organizations, as the present appropriation for equipment, etc., is made and apportioned. The states will then take the fund, and see that it Is properly disbursed, relieving the Government of this much of the burden. In order to make the state troops available for foreign service in time of war, the Secretary has found a way of meeting the constitutional provision that the mllltla can only be used to re pei invasion. Heretofore this has been held to render It impossible for the Federal Government to call on the mill, tla, as it would have done had it the authority during the recent Mexican trouble, and as it would have liked to do had Intervention been found neces sary. But as there is no law under which the mllltla, as such, can be sent to a foreign country, the Secretary and his legal advisers find that they can automatically transform the mllltla Into United States Volunteers, If Congress will provide the necessary machinery, and when this is done, the militia can be sent abroad, the same as the Regu lar Army In time of war or emergency. Laws Seed R .-vofli ligation. In addition to this, Secretary Garrison finds that an entire new codification of the laws relating to the state mllltla should be made so as to clear up the status of the- state troops, and clearly define their relation to the Federal Government. Some of the existing laws are not suited to present day conditions: others are not clear as to their mean ing, and It is found that a number of important changes are necessary In order to bring the state militia up to the standard which It is hoped ulti mately It will attain. "In my opinion," said Secretary Gar rison, discussing the need for militia legislation, "the Federal Government should either enact legislation which will make the militia a real ond line of defense or it should witnaraw the support which it is now giving to the organized militia of the several states. Under the Dick law there has been a great improve ment In the character of the National Guard, but the state authorities, as well as Army officers, recognize that the mllltla is not now a military foroe to be depended on In the event of war. Some of the organizations have gotten up to a fairly good state of efficiency, but that is not true of all the states, and the paper strength of the National Guard does not represent its actual strength In the event of war.
