.Spokane Is here, strong and substan
tial, ready to carry awtiy, if she can,
the capital prize in the decorated and
competitive automobile parade of the
Rose Festival.
Mrs. Jlay Arkwright Hutton, of Spo
kane, arrived yesterday morning at the
" Hotel Portland, and she has with her
credentials of the fipokane Chamber of
Commerce, the One Hundred and Fifty
Thousand Club, and the Spokane Floral
Association, and she has been given
carte blanche to spend all the money
necessary to carry off the big prize.
Mrs. Hutton has already taken up the
matter of entering a 60-horse-power car
in the parade of next Wednesday morn
ing. Her husband is making the trip
from Spokane overland, and will be here
early this morning, unless he had the
good fortune to negotiate several bad
places and got in last night. At least
he has not been heard from. Immediate
ly upon his arrival he will put his car
"in ordinary," where It will be prepared
for the big parade of next Wednesday.
Mrs. Hutton has come to Portland to
represent the three big municipal organ
izations above mentioned, and she said
In an interview at the Portland last
night that these clubs would spend $5000
if it was thought necessary to put up
that much money to win the capital prize.
Mr. Hutton'B car is to be decorated in
roses grown in Spokane, and the trio
of clubs will gather all the blooms avail
able and send them here by express, for
the purpose of convincing the visitors
that the metropolis of the Inland Empire
has Just as good roses as Portland.
"We aren't going to let anybody beat
us out If we can help it," said Mrs. Hut
ton last night, "and the Spokane Cham
ber of Commerce, the 150,000 Club, and
the Spokane Floral Association will put
up all the money we require. I am go
ing to find out what the others are go
ing to do and we will do something a
little more artistic, a little more spec
tacular and a little more imposing than
all the rest."
. Mrs. Hutton arrived yesterday morn
ing from Seattle, where she saw the en
trance of the battleship fleet. While
there she gave a dinner to the 18 mem
bers of the executive board of the State
Equal Suffrage Association, at the Savoy
Hotel, Mrs. Hutton being president of
the Spokane association. In the evening
a reception was given to .Emma Smith
Devoe, president of the state association;
Mrs. Hutton and Mrs. A. H. Allen, pres
ident of the Washington State Federation
of Women's Clubs. Mrs. Hutton was
for ten years one of the foremost equal
suffrage workers In the 8tate.pt Idaho,
and she was a candidate forthe Legis
lature in 1904, leading her ticket, but
losing out in the general result.

BOOMS MILITIA ARMORIES
Answers Opposing Statements of
Portland Taxpayers' League.
PENDLETON. Or., May 21. (To the
Editor.) Since The Oregonian, along with
other newspapers of the state, has given
publicity to a statement antagonistic to
the Armory bill, just sent lorm Dy tne
Portland Taxpayers' League, I ask that
in fairness the following statement of the
case be published from a guardsman's
standpoint:
At this time, while the Armory appro
priation Is up for" approval, there seems
a strange feeling of Indifference, almost
of antipathy, to the Oregon National
Guard on the part of some taxpayers.
This Is singular. becausein the past there
have been many times when those property-owners
were more Interested in the
Guard.
The property-owners of Portland were
not Indifferent to the National Guard a
year or more ago, when the streetcar
strike was on, and it was hourly expected
that the Third Oregon Infantry would
have to be called out to quell the rioting.
There was no antipathy to the National
Guard from taxpayers when, during the
fishermen s strike on the Lower Columbia
River, several years ago, the Guard was
called out and saved many thousands of
dollars' worth of property from being de
stroyed. There was no objection to the
National Guard when, not many months
ago, the Roseburg company was called
out to quell a band of rioting Greeks and
did so. Nor were the people of Oregon
indifferent to the Oregon National Guard
when, in 1898, the Second Oregon Regiment
was formed from the Guard companies
then existing and went forth as this
state's contingent in the Spanish-American
War.
Now, if the people of Oregon! desire the
services of the National Guard in times of
need to fight a foreign foe or quell local
disturbances when civil authorities are
powerless to do so is .It not fair that the
state should provide the Guard companies
with decent accommodations? From my
experiences an officer in Company L, of
this city, 1 see the need ,f the Armory
bill and know that it is one of the most
meritorious measures that was - ever
passed by the Legislature of Oregon. In
our town we use as an armory a hall,
and it Is the only bne available, that costs
us more rent -than the company receives
annually from the state. During the past
year the actual expenses of the company
for flights, fuel, Janitor work, etc., have
been nearly double the allowance from
the state. We have made up the deficit
by giving dancing parties and an enter
tainment. But our company le a new one
and one of the largest and most enthu
siastic in the state. Were it not for this
fact, the company could not exist. How
older companies, in which interest has be
come dulled, manage to exist goodness
only knows. We don't.
If the armory bill is upheld by the peo
ple of the state, we hope to secure an
armory for this city. If we do it will
be easy to maintain a Guard company
here, for we will then have a building
that is suitable for drilling purposes and
one in which we can also have a gym
nasium and a reading-room, two things
that are excellent In connection with a
National Guard company's quarters.
Now, the things that are true of Pen
dleton are true of practically every town
in the stateoutside of Portland where
ever there Is a Guard company. There
Is not an armory in the state outside of
Portland, though Portland has only six
out of the 19 companies of infantry now
existing within the state.
The appropriation for armories made
by the last Legislature was a very mod
est . one. The statement of the Port
land Taxpayers' League that the bill pro
vides for an unlimited number of armor
ies is false. The number is limited very
rigidly by the amount of money appro
priated, J25.O0O per year for four years.
There is nothing on earth wrong with
the law and any citizen will find such
to be true if he but take the trouble to
Investigate the same.
As a Guardsman. I hope that the bill
will be upheld, and If it is not. I will
be greatly ashamed of my native state.
If the property owners of the state vote
against the bill they will make a fatal
error, foe, they will be striking the hand
which, at certain times, constitutes the
only protection for their lives and property-

The Nicolai-Neppach Company and the
National Iron & Foundry Company are
named as party defendants in the suit,
although they also have claims against

its answer to Eaton's ' complaint, the
Nlcolal Company does not deny his al
legations, but asks $570.40 and $100 at
torneys' fees from the Northwest Com
pany, while the National Company asks
$285 damages and $100 attorneys' fees.
