TO REORGANIZE MILITIA
FLAN TO IMPROVE OREGOX ?TA
TIOSAL GUARD.
Prospect of Cnrrylnjr It Ont Aromei
Intercut Anions the Soldiers
Xevr Companies Formed.
Interest in the National Guard now cen
ters around the regimental organizations
that are expected very soon. With the
muster-in of separate Company G, at Al
bany, Friday, by Adjutant-General Gan
tenbeln. the strength of the Valley and
Southern Oiegon Guard was made the
Bame as It was previous to the Spanish
War; that Is. eight .companies, and four
separate companies. At that time Port
land had one regiment of seven compa
nies. Portland now has six companies,
but a plan that was formerly talked of
Including Oregon City In the regimental
organization may be carried into effect.
This would give seven companies for the
regiment to be located here. The time
therefore Is ripe for regimental organiza
tion, and it is expected by military offlcers
and the Guardsmen generally that action
will be taken soon.
Then arises the question of who will be
the commanding officers, and who will
'constitute the other Held ofllcers and staff.
"These are all desirable positions for
Guardsmen. The years of patient work
given to the service in time of peace have
but one reward promotion. If an offlcer
can work up to the command of a regi
ment, he has a popular and Influential
position, and if war should arise where
volunteers are required, he may receive
an important command. Of course, there
are numerous officers and ex-officcrs of
the Guard, up the Valley and in Port
land, spoken of. Who will be selected can
not be foretold. The voting is to be by
the line officers of the Guard, most of
whom have been in the service for years
and have numerous frlcnd. They them
selves are as eligible as any other for
field and staff positions. The enlisted men
of the companies vote for the Lieuten
ants and Captains, and the Lieutenants
and Captains, In turn, vote for their com
manders. Before long, it is earnestly hoped that
Portland will have one or two more mili
tary companies. Alblna is almost ready
for the formation of one company, but
wants the privilege of having It located
there. This was only conditionally grant
ed by the military board. If the full reg
iment is formed at the Armory, the board
might be disposed to grant Albhia's de
sire. There is much talk now of forming
an Alblna company, but locating it at the
Armory, where the drill and other con
veniences would be immeasurably greater
than in a small. Isolated halt The plan
Is to have the company constituted and
.recruited only of Alblna mm. Its soda's
and Interests would be Alblna affairs, and
the citizens of that section of the city
could manifest the same local pride In Its
welfare by furthering it and proclaiming
Its merits. This might lead to another
section of the city forming a company of
the Guard, and still another. A friendly
rivalry or competition might epring up to
eee which section could keep Its company
In the best condition. These are merely
arguments used by those who are ex
tremely anxious to see more companies
of the Guard organized and greater Inter
est manifested In this Important institu
tion of the state. The citizens of Alblna
will be urged to organize at least one
company, as more than enough material
Is there eager to enter. If a satisfactory
arrangement can be perfected.
The Albany company, organized Friday,
Is a splendid body of men. Adjutant-General
Gantenbeln says there were 34 mem
bers, many of whom were Second Oregon
volunteers. Captain Sears, who was chos
en to command, is an experienced officer
of the Guard, having been a Lieutenant
for years in the Guard company former
ly existing at Albany. The First and
Second Lieutenants. Frank P. Stellmacher
and Frank B. Stewart, were Sergeants In
Company I, Second Oregon Volunteers.
Both were exemplary noncommissioned of
ficer?, and will make excellent officers in
the new company.
Although the time Is yet distant for
holding the state encampment of the
Guard this year, all Guardsmen begin to
look forward to that event with eager
ness. The encampment this year is ex
pected to be a splendid one. By the mid
dle cf July, when it will be held, there
will probably be more companies added
to the Guard, the regimental organiza
tions will be complete, and there Is no
reason now conceivable why the encamp
ment should not be the most successful
and Imposing In the state's history. Gen
eral Beebe will be In command, and under
him will be numerous offlcers who have
had field experience under fire since the
last encampment. All the volunteer offi
cers have been drilled In Regular Army
discipline, and will be In position to aid"
the commanding-general in maintaining a
state of discipline equally as good. Drills
end maneuvers will be conducted doubt
la on large scales, and there may be
contending maneuvers for advantageous
positions as in battle.
The place for the encampment has not
been decided upon yet. It may be held
near some city, where transportation and
supplies will be most available A good,
healthy spot will be chosen, where there
will be some comfort, as well as oppor
tunity for military instruction. All of
the Guard will likely be concentrated.

Willie Collier's admirers will. Judging
from the advance sale of seats, be out in
full force at the Marquam tonight, to
morrow and Wednesday nights, also at
the "Wednesday matinee. He la booked to
appear in his own new farce, entitled "Mr.
Smooth." It is new, at least Insofar as
this city la concerned, for it was first
produced some time last Spring, and, with
the exception of Chicago, has been pre
sented hitherto almost exclusively In the
Eastern cities. There it has always met
with a cordial reception, and, as he is such
a strong favorite In this city, the coming
engagement will undoubtedly prove no ex
ception to the rule. Those who have seen
the farce pronounce it as the best that
has leen launched this year, and the best
thing that Mr. Collier has ever done not
excepting hls laughable "Man From Mex
ico." Mr. Collier is now generally regarded
among the wlso ones as tho comedian of
the 20th century. In point of fact, he is
the only man in several years who has
shown any decided talent as a laugh-pro-voker.
He Is certainly endowed In an un
usual degree with the genius of comedy,
and has the Individuality that can at
tract a personal following. Thus far he
has only distinguished himself as a won
derfully skillful actor of farce, wherein
tho gamut of humor is limited. But in
"Mr. Smooth" it is said that he has In
terspersed bits of pathoss which afford
him opportunity to display another and
hitherto unlooked-for side to his ability.
"What Happened to Jones."
Next Friday and Saturday evenings and
Saturday matinee, Harry Corson Clarke,
the well-known comedian, favorably re
membered by Portland theater-goers,
will appear at the Marquam Grand In
the roaring comedy, "What Happened to
Jones."
BAD LOT OF ASSETS.
Momcntoen of an Aliukan Venture
AVhlcU Will Not Sell.
Cast steel Is pretty good stuff In its
proper place, but as assets of a bankrupt
company It does not amount to much.
Old Iron In almost any form meets with
a ready sale here, but as It takes a
temperature of 4000 degrees to melt cast
steel, none of the Iron works on this coast
can utilize It. Some 27,000 pounds of thin
stuff Is now lying In warehouse in this
city, waiting a purchaser. It forms tho
principal assets of the defunct "Snow &
Ice Transportation Company," a concern
which undertook the scheme of operating
a. railroad over the route to Dawson on
the snow and ice. This company had a
lot of machinery for ice and snow loco
motives brought here. These were sup
posed to be able to drag loads of freight
up hill -and down dale, to swim rivers,
and Jump across ravines.
The locomotives were never put to
gether, and the steel mentioned Is what
Is left of them. This steel was attached
by one of the leading newspaper men of
San Francisco to secure payment of an
advertising bill. The result was that the
newspaper man was out the costs of his
suit la addition to his advertising bill,
and his steel Is In warehouse here await
ing a purchaser from afar. The railroad
company which brought it here has a
freight bill against it, which is more than
It is ever likely to" pay. As for the pro
moters of the Snow and Ice Transporta
tion Company, they have probably gone
to build railroads In Mars, as a railroad
to that planet Is too easy for them. They
are, however, not the only ones who made

AT SEATTLE.
Close Contest With Freshmen Clans of.
Washington University A Sas-
ccusfnl Failure.
By one vote the Portland High School
boys lost the debate with the freshman
clas3 of the University of Washington at
Seattle last Saturday evening. When It Is
considered that the Instructor In forenslcs
at tho university is a man who has taught
argumentation most successfully fornine
years In various Eastern universities, and
that the freshman debaters were assisted
In their preparation by the co-operation
of the department of economies and the
senior debating society, there Is no cause
for discouragement on the part of the
High School boys. It was a close and
masterly contest.
The question was: "ResolvM. Th.it in.
migration Into tho United State? should i
be restricted to those persons who can
read and write the United States Consti
tution In some language; provided, ade
quate provisions be made for the admis
sion of thoso persons dependent upon qual
ified Immigrants." Tho High School sus
tained the afllrmatlve.
Frank Hayek opened for the afllrmatlve,
with statistics from the Immigration re
ports, the census and the Massachusetts
prison .reports. He coupled the Illiterates
with social, economic and political evils.
He charged (1) that they do not distribute
themselves, but congest In slums; (2) that
they furnish a most undue proportion of
our criminals and paupers; (3) that they
do not assimilate with our people; (4) that
they furnish the bulk of the class known
as "birds of passage," and (6) that Illiter
acy Is In itself an underslrabie thing. He
spoke with great earnestness and delib
eration, and set forth the case for the
"affirmative with great power.
James Edmunds was the first speaker
for tho negative. In a brilliant and subtle
way he attempted to deflect the entire
argument of the afllrmatlve. He contend
ed that from the wording of the ques
tion the affirmative were bound to prove
that their restriction would be sat'sfactory
as the only restriction. He then showered
forth a score of questions, all of which,
he argued, must be answered before the
affirmative could establish their case.
Benjamin C. Dey followed for the affirm
ative. He was In splendid form, and
at once took up the deflecting proposition
of the negative. He argued that the word
"immigration" mean the present Immi
gration as already restricted by the laws
of 1S33. It was the Immigration of to
day that was under discussion, not the
immigration of past years. Then he pro
ceeded to consider some of the leading
questions propounded by the negative. He
showed that it was not necessary for the
affirmative to establish a causal relation
between Illiteracy and the various evils;
It devolved upon the affirmative to prove
only that Illiteracy Is connected with these
evils. He then proceeded to prove this
connection with official statistics. Ho
then mado a direct attack upon tho nega
tive. Ho showed that before the nega
tlvo could make out a case for the Illit
erates It would be necessary for them to
prove (1) that illiterates are needed In
somo parts of the country, and (I) that
tho illiterates go to those parts where
they may be needed. The entire speech
was a logical one. and the peroration was
given with vigor.
Mr. Hanson took up the caso for the
negative. Like the first speaker of his
side, he pursued obstructionist tactics in
a most skillful manner. He, too. insisted
that the restriction proposed was to be
tho sole restriction.
Tho third speaker for the afllrmatlve was
Raymond W. Steel. He contended that
the classes already restricted by law were
not immigrants, for they are not allowed
to Immigrate Into the country: therefore,
tho restriction could not be applied to
them. He quoted from Sedgwick on the
repeal of statutes to prove that tho pro
posesd restriction would "not annul the
existing restrictions. With much humor
and cleverness he turned several of his
opponents' points against them. He spoke
with admirable self-posseF3lon and power.
Donald McDonald continued the debate
for tho negative. He was the most mature
speaker of the evening, and there was an
undercurrent of emotion In his speech
which was lacking in all the others.
Tho two speakers In rebuttal were Mr.
Hanson and Mr. Steel. Both of the
speeches were skillful, but of the two the
latter seemed to be the most spontane
ous. After dealing In an effective way
with the arguments of his opponent. Mr.
Steel poured forth a mass of official sta
tistics and read special communications
from Immigration officers In support of his
charges against tho Illiterates.
Before the decisions of tho Judges were
read, several of the university professors
stated that they were convinced that the
High School boys had won. The'r defeat
is one of which they have no reason to be
ashamed.
The Portland boys were entertained
most royally at the university. On Fri
day evening a reception and dance wero
given In their honor. On Saturday a base
ball game, a land concert, and drives
wero on the programme. They returned

MANY WHEELMEN ODT.
t
Wather and Paths Combine to At
tract Them.
Bicyclists seemed to think yesterday
was mado to their order and that all
roads led from Portland. This was the
tedency In the morning hours, but streams
of tired, hungry wheelmen were pouring
Into tho common center In the afternoon.
Yesterday was the flrst fine bicycle day
thla year. Weather and paths were per
fect. The sun has brought the paths down
to that Ideal state between dampness and
dust which every wheelman loves. A
slight tendency to heaviness where fresh
gravel had been placed, an occasional rut
where a man had driven over while the
ground was soft, and other details were
forgotten in the wild exuberance of Joy
at getting far out into the country, where
the air was froah and the sun bright as
the finest Summer day.
Out on the Vancouver path and on the
two new boulevard paths there were
swarms of riders. They were to be seen
In pairs or bunches, and at every hour
of the day. The number visiting the
Mount Tabor reservoirs and lingering
along the pretty runs beyond there was
even greater. That ride to the lower res
ervoir In splendid now. and It seems that
thero Is an Irresistible fascination to get
oft and lounge against the casement,
where tho cooling influence of the great
geyser Is felt. Wheels around this spot
wero piled deep at times In the afternoon.
Up the Macadam, or White House road,
there were many bicyclists. This drive
way is not in condition for pleasure vehi
cles yet. but the bicycle track for a long
distance Is fairly good. There are two
stretches where flno gravel has been
placed and not well packed, but a few
more days like yesterday will work a
change. There will be enough wheels to
pack the track hard and Arm. like some
that was laid last year and which still
is capable of taking, a pollh. A compar
atively new ride Is towards Oregon City.
Tho work done last Fall and Winter on
the Oregon City path places that city
within easy run of the most diffident
wheelman. It Is not all graveled or cin
dered, but grading has been done, swales
and ditches spanned and numerous Im
provements made. Thero is scarcely any
ascents to make, and these gradual ones
aro balanced by corresponding descents
soon after. The path leads on to the
Clackamas River near the trark of the
East Side Railway, and thence deflects
to reach the wagon bridge, from which
point tho road Is followed. And there arc
other excellent paths now. Of course,
there Is room for Improvement yet. but
one who has ridden little for the past
two yearn Is most agreeably surprised to
observe the work done for the bicycle.
APRIL 22D IS THE DAY

service. Portland to Chicago, ever main

Connect Bell With Alarm Sjitrm.
The prospects for the early connectins
of the bell in the tower of the Sunnjpide
engine-houra with the city alarm system
are excellent. It Is proposed to connect
up this bell so that ic w.ll repeat the fuo
alarm signals, and Sunnyslde and the
surroundings "may locate a tire at once.
The Sunnyslde firemen are all volunteers
and live away from the houfo, but with
this bell connected thcr will be in touch
with tho whole' city. The city electrician
is fitting up the apparatus for making tho
connection.
