OCCl'IlS AT ARMORY.
t'Kl Attendance, and Speeches Are
Made on Military Subjects All
Officers but One Re-elected.
Thp third annual convention of the Xa
tionnl Giwril Asnxialiun of the Slate of
Orejron opened yesterday morning in the
Armory with a larKr attendance than
liad ever come together before in Port
land for this event. Some of the officer
were delated by th late train from the
south, and the morning meeting was
therefore small. In the afternoon fully
7i were in attendance, however. Kach
speech was received with interest and
applause.
The morning was (riven up to routine
business, such as the election of officers
for the cominff year. President William E.
Finzer was re-elected by acclamation, as
were the following officers: Colonel
James Jackson, first vice-president: Hrig-adier-Oeneral
Owen Summers, first hon
orary vice-president; Colonel George O.
"Voren. second vice-president; Governor
Chamberlain, second honorary vice-president;
Colonel Charles If Beebe, third
honorary vice-president; Colonel C. U.
Gantenbein. fourth honorary vice-president;
Brigadier-General T. M. Anderson,
fifth honorary vice-president: BriRadier
General 1. H. Brush, sixth honorary vice
president, and Captain L. H. Knapp, sec
retary. The only opposition to re-election
was In the case of Treasurer R. G.
Jubitz. Major T. M. Dunbar was elected
treasurer by 45 votes to 5.
General Finzer talked of the work of
the association during Uie three years It
has been in existence.
The afternoon was taken up with
speeches by Major Harry L. Hawthorne.
"Conflt Artillery Reserves-'; Major R. H.
Noble. "The Relation of the Organized
Militia to the Regular Army"; Colonel
James Jackson. "The Future of the Na
tional Guard": Colonel George O. Yoren,
'The Test of Time": Major F. B. Hamlin.
"The Oregon Rifle Team": Captain Sam
uel White. "The Citizen-Soldier, the Na
tional Reserve, and It. Relation to the
Regular Army": Cartaln Charles A. Mur
phy. "Compulsory National Guard Serv
ice." and Captain Walter El Carll, "The
Oregon Hospital Corps at the San Fran
cisco Fire."
For Major Hawthorne's address a map
showing the movements of the Japanese
army in its invasion of the coast of Corea
was prepared, as was a map of the coast
of Oregon, from the mouth of the Colum
bia to California. The speaker told first
how the Japanese landed their troops and
concentrated them later at one point, and
pointed out the weaknesses in the Corean
coast from a defensive standpoint. Then
he showed the relative differences be
tween that coast and Oregon's. The sub
stance of his talk was to the efTect that
our ports were insufficiently manned, but
were otherwise up to date. A plea was
made for an attempt to be made to. have
four companies of militia to garrison the
forts.
Colonel James Jackson, who acted as
president, spoke on "The Future of the
National Guard." and often elicited laugh
ter by his dry humor. Major Hamlin, one
of Oregon's best sharpshooters, read an
interesting paper on the experiences of
the Oregon rifle team at the contests In
the East.
- Today will be the closing day of the
com'ention and morning and afternoon
sessions will be held. As a finale a
Christmas tree is planned for the officers,
to be preceded by the quarterly inspec
tion of the Third Infantry.

7T CERTAIN grouchy individual who
lives at the east end of the muddy
(at this season) Willamette wants a chart
made of "the hold-up route," as he terms
the Burnside bridge. Every night he has
to traverse its styglan darkness and he
declares he stumbles over something new
each trip. He had located the various
piles of cordwood and paving blocks, and
then he found bags of coal stacked
In the western shelter, and last night he
found a boxed-in guy wire near the
eastern end of the bridge. Also he fell
over It, split the toe of his shoe, and
jammed his hat over his eyes.
"If the city won't put lights on that
graceful cobweb of steel," he said, when
he picked himself out of the mud, "I
wish they'd issue a chart so a regular
cruiser like me could get across without
breaking his neck. I don't mind being
held up, but I would like to see where
to put my feet."
Then he continued his way and fell over
some planks left for a new curbing.
