With the passage by the senate a short time ago of the Army bill, the i paved tor the establishment In Oregon of a number of new military companies. In ordor' to bring the Fourth Oregon regiment up to a regular Army basis., as re quired by the war department, It will be necessary to reci-ult five new com panies of Infantry. Applications frort almost every thriving city In the st te are being re ceived at Portland by Adjutant Gen eral Flnzer. The task of selecting the new stations Is yet to be taken up by the Oregon military board. The desirauiilty and advantage of being a station of a military company of the National Guard service should appeal to every enterprising commu nity. Remarkable changes have oc curred In the past few years In the National Guard service, so that It Is no longer a strike-breaking expedien cy, but a part of the first line of the nation's defense. Companies of the guard are already located at such points as Eugene, Roseburg, Ashland, Cottage Grove, McMlnnvllle, Wood- burn, Oregon City, The Dalles, Baker City and Pendleton, while strong ap plications for one of the new com- r-- TrirrA V... tif.fe places as Astoria, Seaside, Rainier, Canby, Sllverton, Medford, Grants Pass, 'Forest Grove, Newberg and Klamath Falls. Other applications are being received weekly. The pur pose of the Oregon military board is to distribute these new companies to the best possible advantage among the better class of cities of the state. ' The problem that is just now con fronting the National Guardsmen, of whom there are some 1400, ts that of suitable armories. The national gov ernment supplies arms and equip ment, ammunition, shooting galleries and ranges, and the war department has suggested that the various states should at least provide suitable ar morles for housing the troops and storing equipments. Portland, , of course, has an adequate armory, pro vided and paid for by Multnomah county. The last legislature appropri ated $10,000 to be paid out at the rate of '25,000 a year for the construction of armories In the smaller communi ties of the state. This appropriation Is to be voted upon under the initia tive and referendum at the coming June election. From a military stand point the armories are indispensable from an economic point of view they are a good Investment. At present the state is paying out 15000 a year In rentals for Inadequate rookeries. Thus It will Be seen that In compara tively a few years the new armories would pay for themselves In the sav ing to the state of rentals. The suc cess of the measure Is already practi cally assured, the only obstacle being a possible lack of understanding and appreciation of the measure by the voters of the smaller communities who, by the way, are the ones most Interested. the same day the Cove high school baaeball team will be In La Grande and the game between it and La Grande's high will be called as soon as the pedagogues complete their ses sion.
