Newspaper Page Text8 THE MORNING . OBGONLA MONDAY, JULY 13, 1903. ARE UP IN THE AIR National Guardsmen Ponder on Reorganizing Force. WONDER WHO WILL BE COLONEL Officers of the Six Portland Com panles Hold Key to Situation and Regimental Headquarters May Remain In This City. National guardsmen are at sea regard ing the reorganization of the military forces of the state. "While it Is probable new officers will be selected to head the Third Infantry, the probable action of the regimental officers whose votes will de cide the question, has not yet been fore shadowed. The decision that reorganiza tion had to come has been made so re cently that the officers have not yet had time to thoroughly canvass the situation. Among the members of the six com panies stationed in Portland there is a strong feeling that some Portland man should be elected Colonel of the Third Infantry- Unless such an officer is elected from this city, the regimental headquar ters will be removed to some other point In 'the state, and this is something the guardsmen In Portland are anxious to avoid if possible. If the officers of the six Portland com panies can agree upon a course of action, they will be able to hold the regimental headquarters. Half of the voting strength of the regiment is represented by the Portland companies, and without Portland votes no candidate could be elected. It Is felt by the guardsmen that the other members of the regiment would be will ing to concede Portland the headquarters, provided a Colonel could be elected who was generally satisfactory to the regiment and the other regimental officers were dis tributed fairly throughout the state. Tho difficulty In selecting a new Colonel Is that the reorganization scatters the companies of the Third Infantry all over the state, and It will require a great deal of the Colonel's time to administer the affairs of the regiment. There are not many active guardsmen In the city en gaged In business who can readily give up the time necessary to look after the welfare of the regiment, and until the of ficers whose ballots are to elect the new regimental officers have solved this prob lem, the attitude of the Portland guards men will be uncertain. There is a reasonable certainty that the offices in the regiment will be distributed fairly throughout the state. Guardsmen feel this should be done, but the question of a fair distribution is a hard one to solve. The Valley Is entitled to consider able recognition, and It will be necessary to give Eastern Oregon companies some attention. If an agreement can be reached among the members of the guard relative to the distribution that should be granted, the election of new officers will not be a hard matter. Two Majors to Be Re-Elected. It Is believed that Majors McDonell and Von Egglofsteln will be re-elected. If this Is done, the third Major of the regiment will probably be selected from some point outside of Portland,. and one of the ques tions regarding the distribution of offices will be partially settled. There are a number of appointment on the regimental staff to be made, and it Is likely these will figure In the settlement of the reor ganization question. A. fair distribution of all the offices in the regiment will mean that regimental headquarters remain in this city. How ever, a difference of opinion among the officers whose votes settle the question might lead to almost any action. Port land officers have not yet attempted to reach an agreement, but it Is likely they will do so some time during the week. The fact that other companies are so widely scattered has made It impossible for the outside company commanders to get to gether and outline a plan of action. The new Colonel will have the duty of dividing the regiments into battalions be fore him as one of his first bits of work- Several theories have been advanced as to the probable action that will be taken It has been suggested that the Portland companies might form three-fourths of two battalions, and since they are to gether in a. single city, they would be able to drill In battalion form regularly and Insure the regiment of at least two well-drilled, battalions. This settlement of the question would leave a third battalion with no companies that had been drilled regularly, and the regiment would necessarily present more or less of a ragged appearance when It turned out. For that reason this plan has not commended Itself very strongly. A suggestion has been offered that one full battalion be made up of Portland companies, and that the two remaining companies be thrown into another forma f tlon. This plan has not been discussed very much and Is not likely to be received with much favor. One of the best suggestions that has been made. Is to put two Portland com panles In each of the three battalions. The Portland companies would form the right and left companies of each battalion They would enjoy the benefit of regular battalion drill, and each battalion would enjoy the advantage of having two com panies in line which were thoroughly ac qualnted with the work. When the regiment turns out It is the companies on the right and left of each battalion that are responsible for the hardest work In maneuvers. If they are well drilled and move with precision, the two other companies In each battalion rapidly fall Into place and little friction results. For this reason It is more than likely that the Portland companies will he divided so that each battalion will have a right and left company that Is well drilled and able to bring the other two companies Into place promptly. 2Vo Reflection on Ontside Compnnleit. If this is the decision reached. It will not mean a reflection upon the outside companies, for they are so widely scat tered that they do not enjoy an opportun ity for drilling In battalion formation. It would be a step taken to aid them, and one the outside officers would probably welcome. The question of rank among the officers Is one that will have to be settled this week when the new commissions are Is sued. It Is one In which the officers are keenly Interested. Should, the commis sions be Issued to all the officers of the regiment on the same day, this question would settle Itself, for under the military code' previous experience is the factor that counts. It Is not material whether an officer has served continuously or not. If his length of service is greatest he is entitled to seniority. In order to avoid friction the officers of the guard intend to pay close attention to the question of seniority. The Third Infantry will be practically a new regi ment, but, with well-drilled and seasoned men, so that each officer will naturally desire to be as well advanced as possi ble. Naturally a ranking Captain, for Instance, would dislike to see a- junior placed above him, especially when there Is always the possibility that he might have to serve under him at some time. The medical staff of the regiment is not concerned withthe discussion of the new regimental formation. The medical staff is unchanged in the reorganization and will continue to serve as heretofore. The approach of the date set for the en campment of the Northwest guardsmen with the troops of the regular army at American Lake, near Tacoma, makes It necessary for the reorganization of the guard to, be completed as rapidly as pos sible, for the troops are to be drilled thor oughly for their turn-out before the of ficers of the regular army. The experi ence of the field maneuvers with trained commanders directing the work will be. guardsmen believe, one of the most bene ficial the guard has had In, years. Thus far the expected orders for this encampment have not been Issued by the War Department. General Frederick Funston, In command of the Department of the Columbia, selected tho camp site and fixed the date . for the encampment before he went to Alaska on his official tour of inspection. It was believed the order would follow within a compara tively short time, but for some reason It has been delayed. The guard, however. does not attach any significance to the delay and It is believed the orders may come from Washington almost any day. When It does come active preparations, In the way of regular drills, may be com menced. RECENT ACCESSIONS. List of New Book Received at Port land Public Library. GENERAL WORKS AND RARE BOOKS.

Jackson, secretary of St. Mary's Cemetery Improvement Associa tion, through whose efforts St. Mary's cemetery, on the Base Line road, has been Improved and "beautified, has sub mitted his reports of money collected and the amounts paid out for imprbve- ments. The Association was formed on July 6, 1902, for the purpose of putting the cemetery In a respectable condition. It then 'was overgrown with weeds and brush. The total contributions received for the Improvements amounted to $302, and the expenditures were $268.15. This leaves a balance of 933.S5 to commence tho present year with. The Intention Is to proceed with the work of beautifying the cemetery. The officers of the Association for the ensuing year were re-elected as follows: President, E. B. Hill; treasurer, Sirs. M. Zan; secretary, George S. H. Jackson. Those who wish to practice economy should buy Carter's Little Liver Pills. Forty pills ip. a vial; only one pill a dose. DAY OF PEACE-AND QUIET INTERESTING AND INFORMAL CELE BRATION AT CARNIVAL GROUNDS. The NnmeroHs Small Boy Visits Site of Woodmen's Cominsr Festival nnd Eh Joy a Himself. If the Woodmen of the World Carnival furnishes more interesting features on its official opening day that the Carnival grounds did yesterday afternoon, the pub lic will not want their money back. Early In the morning the diminutive urchin wandered Into the grounds, and there he remained until dinner time. which required his absence for a length of time that was by far too short to suit the Southern Carnival Comnanv neonie who were endeavoring to get a good day.'s rest before resuming their labors early this morning. Had acYnlseion been charged In the afternoon a small fortune might have been realized. There were many "free acts." The "kids" played baseball. marbles, pe-wee, hide and go seek, and QUEEN OF THE WOODMEN MRS. EMMA all the other games. When they were tired of these amusements the sawdust piles suggested a new sport to the genius of a colored lad. A springboard was erected and a real circus commenced. Little Rastus took the lead and attempted an air spring, but he landed on his "cocoa." Then a young son of the sod demonstrated the way the trick should be done. In a few minutes a score or more of "the gang" were doing etunts that woula have done credltto the clown tumblers In Rlngllng Bros.' circus. The sport was too peaceful to last. A fight was the next number. In which the little "coon" put a pale-faced brother out In the first round, with a "double poke" to both optics. The baseball game that followed was stepped In the first Inning when one of the large arc light globes was put out of commission by a foul ball. Nat Rele, pro prietor of the Southern Carnival Com pany, decided the game a draw and the boys had to be contented with teasing a large dog belonging to the Carnival Com pany. Fldo finally tired -of the sport and took hold of little John Doe's trousers and the sport stopped. RECOVERS FROM STRIKE Building Permits Nearly Touch. Hlpfh Mark for Year. Real Estate Transfers.

WIth-the exception of two weeks in February, thfs Is the highest for tho year. The total of 5109,405. which was made this week. Is evidence of the Sum mer building business. Accompanying the large flumber of per mits for houses, is an Increased activity In the real estate market. The transfers for the past week are not unusually large, as the ground for many of the dwellings whose permits were made out this week had already been purchased. Other deals have not been recorded. Every one seems to be building homes. " , two-story dwelling, 53000," Is about the way the average permit reads. But all this means business for the real estate dealer and the building contractors. If the contractors have any complaints to make. It is almost always that they are short of men or material. Given these, there Is plenty of work to be done. The painters, the carpenters and the plasterers are all at work, and speedily forgetting the labor troubles of the early Spring. There Is nothing like plenty of good-paying work to make a man forget a strike, and the union men are too busy just now to talk much of their troubles. Property-owners are awakening to the profit In building fiats. Occupying-little space In comparison with separate dwell ings, these rent for a comparatively high sum, and are constantly In demand. Con sequently, those who have once built a set of fiats are building more, while thoso -who have never ventured Into this line are getting Into It as fast as possible. la several instances where old and dl- lapidated dwellings were an eye-store to the neighborhood, modern fiat buildings are being erected at a cost of several thousand dollars. At the corner of Fifth and Clay streets, four two-story fiats are to be erected by the owner, Agnes Dolph Nixon. The Runyon flats, at .Sixth and Madison, on the site of three old buildings, are al ready well under construction. Others are contemplated by various property owners. The construction of fiats has thus far beenalmost entirely confined to- the West Side, where property is at its highest price. On the East Side the separate dwelling Is still the favorite. The erection of hotels to accommodate the Exposition visitors has apparently begun, for one new hostelry has been an nounced. This Is to occupy the western half of the Irregular block occupied on the eastern side by the Snell-Heitshu-Woodard building, where the temporary postoffice will bo established. Plans arc now being prepared for the lessees of the property, R. De Burgh and Charles A. Malarkey. The building will have a frontage of 200 feet on Seventh street and 100 feet each on Ankeny and Burn side streets. The largest real estate transaction of the week Just closed Is that of J. H. Pettrson to- Seth Rlggs. two lots In Central block, for 4.000. Mrs. C. B. OF THE WORLD CARNIVAL J. JACKSON. King has sold to W. M. Flanagan nine lots In North Irvlngton for $17,200. The sale was made several weeks ago, but the deed has Just been recorded. The Balfour-Guthrie Investment Company has so)d to E. Johnson one lot on Fifth street, between Hall and College streets, for 54600. The contractors of the large, buildings about the business portion of the city are taking advantage of the fine weather to push the completion of their contracts with all speed. The frame work of the first two stories of the Staarns building. at Sixth and Morrison, is up. A like condition prevails at the Cook Bros, building, on First street, near Oak. The Cohn structure, at Tenth and Washing ton streets, begins to look like a sure enough building. The J. W. Cook build ing, on First, near Pine street, lacks but the Interior finishing. So does the Edward Holman building, at Third and Salmon streets, which, when completed, will be one of the finest undertaking es tablishments on the Coast. The windows are about all that is needed to complete the long-delayed Welnhard building. HE HIT PATTERSON. Jamex Lemon Arrented on Charge of Highway Robbery. James Lemon, colored, was last night arrested on a charge of highway robbery and was positively Identified by R. W. Patterson as the man who robbed him of his diamond pin. Upon searching the prisoner evidence was found which leads the detectives to think that he makes a business of stealing Jewelry of value. A handsome gold nugget, several .stones of more or less value and a gold setting from which a large-sized stone had been re moved were found in a purse which he carried. ' The highwayman was 1 picked up from the description given to Detectives Snow and Kerrigan. Patterson said from the first that he knew one of the men that had robbed him. Two negroes, he said, had been loafing around his ealoon during the evening, and he had been able to recognize one of them as one of the robbers. He described him as a very black negro, and also gave pe culiarities about his walk. It was from the peculiar walk that Lemon was recog nized last night at Third and Stark streets. The detectives promptly marched him down to the Favorite saloon and called Mr. Patterson out to look him over. He did not wait to be asked, but promptly volunteered the statement, "That Is the man that got my diamond pin." The robbery of Patterson's diamond, valued at 5200, was a daring piece of work. Patterson had been In his dancehall during the evening, and shortly after mid night had started upstairs. In the hall he was "met by the two negroes. One seized him by the throat, while the other quickly removed the pin from Its place, and they then made their escape. The detectives say that Lemon Is a member of a gang of colored thieves that recently came to Portland from San Fran cisco. They know several more of the gang, but have no charge against them at present. ACROSS COUNTRY IN AUTO Jackson Arrive nt Omaha in Trip AcroKs Continent. OMAHA. Neb.. July l Dr. H. Xelson Jackson, of Burlington, Vt., accompanied by Sewall K. Jackson, a professional chauffeur of Tacoma, Wash., arrived In Omaha this evening, having made SOO miles In an automobile from San Fran cisco. He started May 23 anti has lost IS days on account of weather and stopping for repairs. He will continue his trip Eastward tomorrow, going to Cleveland, thence to New York and to his home in Vermont. Dr. Jackson Is making the trip purely for pleasure and 300 miles of the distance traveled has been through a country never before crossed by an automobile. He ex pects to reach Burlington August 1. His experiences thus far have been exciting and at one- time the two men were 36 hours without food. GRANULATED EYELIDS. Murine Eye Remedy cures this and other Eye troubles, makes weak eyes strong. PORTLAND IN LEAD Seattle Distanced, in Post office Business, SOUND CITY IS $4577 BEHIND In Salen of Pontage Stamps for Sec. ond Quarter Portland Is $5031 Ahead Total Receipts liow 20 Per Cent Increase. The business of the Portland postoffice is growing fast. The increase during the fiscal year which ended June 30 is note worthy. It amounts to 531.131.95 more than during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902. Seattle newspapers are proclaiming that their postoffice outstripped Portland's In the past year. But they are not telling the truth, because Portlands total ex ceeded Seattle's by 54577.91. Here are the precise figures for the fiscal year ending June 30: Portland 5310,193.32 Seattle 305,615.41 Portland's lead 5 4.577.91 The Seattle Times several days ago told a fib in order to boost its own town by magnifying the Seattle figures until they exceeded Portland's by 5S45. If Colonel Blethen wishes to print the truth in his newspaper, he can get it from the fore going statement. In sales of postage stamps Portland Is also ahead of Seattle. For the quarter year ending June 20 Portland's lead was 55631.02. Witness the following statement: sale of stamps and stamped paper: Portland 575.547.57 Seattle 69,916.65 Portland's lead 5.. 5,631.02 Portland's nostoffice receipts have been about 20 per cent greater so far this year than they were last.

Quite a large audience, consisting of many pleasant family parties, gathered yesterday afternoon along Monument Hill, City Park, to listen to another ex cellent concert by Brown's Park Band, and the surrounding hills and ravines echoed back music for nearly three hours. It was also an attractive place for chil dren, and It was noticed owing to careful calculation three little girls were pro pelled In one swing for one hour and a half, without a break. The crowd would no doubt have been greater but for an overshadowing attraction. Mayor Wil liams was one of those wjio sat on one of the benches, smoking a fragrant cigar nnd lending an appreciative ear to the music The programme was a well selected one, and appealed to the tastes of most of the audience. It Is an admitted fact that a musical programme will not please every body, and It , Is a positive triumph If a musical programme pleases the major ity. All the selections given were well received, several of the numbers particu larly Mascagnl's Intermezzo from the "Cavallerla" and the selection from Bizet's "Carmen" being heartily encored. The "Soldiers' Chorus" from Gounod's "Faust" was not given because of re sponses to encores, and the iength of the heavy programme. From the dispassionate standpoint of musical criticism, Brown's Park Band as now constituted Is better than one would reasonably expect, after knowing that the members have tmly played together, for a short time. There Is no disposition to hand bouquets to Bandmaster Charles L. Brown, but ho deserves considerable credit for the ability he has shown at the busi ness end of the band, and in bringing and keeping together such excellently trained and intelligent musicians. As bandmaster he is quiet and business-like. In attack, refinement of tone and beauty of ensemble,-vthe band Is eminently satis factory and has no rival to excel It In the Northwest today. The quality of the wood-wind section is surprisingly good and Is about 'the best in the band. The cornet section gives a clear, steady, pretty tone. In fortissimo effects, it would be a distinct Improvement to have more brass to gain a greater solidity of tone. As -yet the band, although the members play artistically and splendidly, does not electrify. To get this effect, one must hear a stirring march or overture full of dramatic surprises, with plenty of tone from the band at the proper time, and a grand, thrilling finale. That Is where the heavy brass section In a band counts, and It is hoped this will be noticed In future band concerts here. Mere noise Is not musical effect, but to get strength of tone. the band must have the right kind of volume. Some people say that "foreign" bands have only to play once In Portland to make citizens forget, local musical organ izations, but this is not all true. We all can learn something from the tone color of every band, from different interpreta tions of different conductors, from the beauty In the finish of a delicate, pearly pianissimo to the grandeur of a stirring. thrilling fortissimo. When a certain for eign brass band visited this city about one year ago, the first number played at one of the concerts at the Armory was simply printed as a "march, but the soul-stirring grandeur of that march made most of the hearers forget themselves. The effect wag electric and Instantaneous. Brown's Park Band will reach the same goal In time, "when the members rehearse and play more together. They do not need Instruction, as they are all profes sional musicians of whom any city may well be proud. In the broader opportunity that lies before them, the most artistic results will be reached, when the right music is studied and played. The composition of Brown's Park Band is: Piccolo, flute, oboe, E-flat clarinet, solo clarinet, seven B-flat clarinets, bas soon, two saxophones, five B-flat cornets, five French horns, three trombones, bari tone, two E-flat tubas, one double-B-flat bass, snare drum, bass drum and timpani.
