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.

Improved St. Mnry's Cemetery.
George H. 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.

If the Woodmen of the World Carnival

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

of the week have run into Ihe 5100.000
column. 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.

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.

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:

THEY LISTEN TO THE BAND
Concert In City Park Attracts a
Large Audience.
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.
