v..mnton. Oct. t. With a view -to
Increasing th efficiency of cort artll
lery organisations In the ml lit la, the
War Department has In contemplation
and loon will promulgate, an order au
t.ri.!n the Chief of Artillery to 1s-

certificates, however, will only be Is

The War Department reallsea that
the Coaat Artillery corpa or tne regu
lar Army la nothlna- more than a skele
ton nrr.nlxatmn. br no meana comix1
tent to man all th coast defenaea of
th. Nation In time of war. ot only
Is there a ahortaa-e of ofTlrers. but of
enlisted men as well. Conirress has
been nnwllllnr to authorise the recruit
Ins; of this branch of the service to
such slse as would permit ma tun
manntna; of every coast defense, and.
largely becausa or that fact, muma
ofricers In the seacoast states were In-
MmKd In bullnlna- un separate com
pan Us to specialise on this class of
military work.
t era, mt Reeenea Assmei.
The organisation of such companies
In Orea-nn. Washington and California
baa progressed to such a point that the
War repartment feels that the mllltla
organizations, now unofficially desla
nJted ss the Coast Artillery Reserve,
ran be counted upon as a dependable
adjunct of the regular coast artillery
service, and the work done by eome of
the officer, and men has met with blah
approval from the regular offlrera. The
mllltla work, however. Is to be carried
to a Meher stale of efficiency, and the
vraanisatlona enlarged. Theae milltl
companies, as originally planned, will
have considerable training; In their
armories, and each year will have
actual work at the roast defense sta
tions of the Army, where they will en
case In actual tun practice. Pome of
them bad this practice during the past
Summer, and developed unexpected ef
ficiency, though all are In need of
further training.
The purpose, of the War Department
Is to encourage both enlisted men and
officers of this branch rf the mllltla
to become proficient, and the officers
wl!l. at Intervals, have opportunity to
take examinations to determine their
competency to command coast artillery
batt.ries. Those who pasa this exam
ination will receive efficiency certifi
cates After passing tha examination
and receiving certincatea. mllltla offi
cers will receive speclml Instruction,
further titling them for command of
fortifications generally.
rwll Tralalaa: OB? ere.
Later on. they will be Instructed in
fie various branches of roast defense
work, so that thev will be equipped to
act either as emplacement officers,
rung, and communication officers, bat
t.ry officers, searchlight officers, or
rtre ant battle commanders. After this
Instruction, the War Iiepartment feela
that It ran relv npon the trained offi
cers of the mttltia to complete the
e. I'pment for the roast artillery In
tae of ho.tllltlea.
It I. not Intended that officers of
tlie mllltla shall be compelled to take
Hie examination outlined, as they are
tin.ler control of the state, but those
In this brnnch of the service have
shown such Interest In their work that
the Drpart-nent believes they will, for
the mom part, welcome the Instruction,
and voluntarily take the examinations
receixe full and detailed Instruc
tion from tlie regular Army officers.
When emvig'i militia officers have
ouaMflcd t command a coast defensa
station, thev will be permitted to com
mand at the annual maneuvers, the
regular Army officers merely acting as
referees or Instructors.
tiaaaeea Rreenl. Kept.
The plana of the Department go still
further. In future records will he
kept of tne gun work of the various
mllltla organisations hen engaged In
maneuvers at the roast artillery sta
tions during: maneuvers, and each year
t"ie scores made by the volunteer
mark.men will be published. This will
enable th department to keep tab on
the efficiency of th volunteer gunners,
and to determine their Increasing ef
ficiency as their Instruction progrrnes.
Night nargf-t practice Is to be added
to the programme of the mllltla roast
artillery organisations, and part of
th work of next season will be th
firing at targets at night, with tha aid
of searrMights. This la deemed es
sential, for tn actual warfare th roast
forts would be called upon to repel an
enemy in th dark. All In all. th War
Department proposes to make the roast
artillery companies of the mllltla an
actual Coast Artillery Reserve, that
can h called Into Instant .rvlc and
give a goo,l account of Itself.

Governor West Inform Comtnlsslon-
rn He Is Tired of Illiv-Iallylne;
and Demand. Answer.
SALEM. Or, Oct. t. (Special.) Gov
ernor West announced today that h
would give the County Court of Marlon
County the balance of this week to
determine whether It wishes to use
convicts for road purposes and If It
falls to acquiesce by that time, all
chance for the use of convicts on road
work In thia county will be gone.
Thla meana that In th event the
court falls to signify Ita Intention of
using the convicts that Marlon County's
part of the Tortland-Salem highway
will not be constructed.
Oeorge F. Kodgers Marlon County's
member of the Central Highway Com
mission, arranged with the Warren
Construction Company to use Ita rock
crusher, which Is set on a county rock
quarry south of the city, no charge to
be made. He arranged also for a low
rate of rail transportation from the
quarry to the fair grounds so that rock
could be deposited there all Winter and
be ready for distribution In the Spring.
"Clackamas County. I understand, is
practically ready to go ahead and con
vlcta will be sent there at any time
thev are desired." aald the Governor.
"We have given Marlon County every
consideration and have extended every
Inducement, and I am tired of dilly
dallying; around. I would like to get
early action on these convicts and) on
the mad work so It can be prosecuted
to a finish. If Marlon County does not
want Improvementa there are other
countlea that do."
Following a conference with the Gov
ernor. Judge Huaney. or tne Louniy
Court, reiterated that Marlon County
would do nothing for the Portland
Salem highway unless the road dis
tricts Interested would put up the coin.
This meana that Marlon County will
do nothing towards such a highway
unless the districts concerned Interfere,
which Is highly improbable. The court
did agree to Improve a mile or road
near the State Training: School, how
ever.
T. R. DENIES HE'S TIMID
PANAMA POLICY DEFENDED IX
OVTLOOK ARTICLE.
Incident Shows. Colonel Says, That
President Has Great Power If
Not Afraid to It.
SEW TORK. Oct. I. Theodore Roose
velt haa an article on "How the Cnlted
Statea Acquired the Right to Dig- the
Panama Canal" In the current number
of the Outlook. He says his messages
to Congress set forth In full and In
detail every essential fact connected
with th varloua phases of the acquisi
tion of the Panama CanaL He adds:
Th simple fact was that when the
Interest of the American people Imper
atively demanded that a certain act
should be done, and I bad the power
ro Ho it. I did It. unless It was spe
cifically prohibited by law. Instead of
timidly refusing to do It unless i
could find som provlelon of law which
rendered It Imperative that I should
do It. In other words. I gave the
benefit of the douhi to the people of
th I'nlted States and not to any croup
of bandits, foreign or domestic, whose
Interests happened to be adverse to
those of the people of th Cnlted States
'In my judgment, history had taught
tb lesson that tne President haa very
great powers If he chooses to exercise
those powers: but that It he la a timid
or selfish man. afraid ot responsibility
and aftald of rtaks. be ran. or course,
manufacture ingenious excuses for fail
ure to exercise them.
"At a great crisis tn American his
tory. Mr. Buchanan had shown himself
! belong to the latter type of Presi
dent: Mr. Lincoln had represented the
other type.
The Interests of the American peo
ple demanded that I should act Just ex
actly as I did act: and I would have
taken the action I actuary did take
even though I had been certain that te
do so meant my prompt retirement from
public life at the next election: lor tha
oniv thing which makes it worth whli
to hold a big office Is taking advan
tage of th opportunities the office of
fers to do some big thing that ought to
be done and la worth doing."

Whatever Vernon. Cal, Is she owes
to Hapless Hogan. The census-taker's
last unabridged credits Portland with
207.214 fans Sn Francisco 4H.SI2,
Oakland 150.171. Los Angeles with 119.
1. Sacramento with 44.694 and Vernon
with 70. Therefore Vernon wouldn't
even be found at th bottom of th
atlas with an asterisk if Hogan hadn't
hrnurht the total un from as.
The glassy-eyed Apollo of the park
is indeed entitled to large gobs of
credit and there Is something almost
pathetic In the reports over the wire
yesterday telling; of Portland's second
victory of th Series ot crux.
Portland fans of course, are pleased,
for two or three more wins in the week
will practically sew the bunting up in
the flask pocket. Seven frames and a
postponement were orlglnaly achedujed
for the aeries but Hogan will probably
refuse to play th postponement if the
present drubbing continues. -1
Hogaa'a Real Name Bray.
To ret back to Hogan. Passing up
the bromides about Portland's Joy su
preme, did you ever hear of how Hap
Hogan got his name? Hap s folks, you
know, are rigid Presbyterians and
their family pew Is registered In church
c'.rcles under the name of Bra.
It's a short story. Years ago Hap
was good-looking: he was s college
boy and had to have a penknife oper
ated by footpower to open his mash
notes. Hap was a major leaguer at
skipping classes Class A at handball
and a bluff at logarithms.
Hap was "found out." unlike some
of the rest of us. and father ordered
him not to return home until he had
shown himself a man. Hap waa dls
consolate. No more could he play
handball, no more could he bluff at
calculus. He would end It all.-
Salclde Materials Bought.
Hap repaired to the nearest store,
bought s rope, a can of oil. a box of
match, a dose of arsenic and a re
volver. Then ha got Into a boat
not the same one he'a in Uile week
pushed It out from shore, paddled down
to where A limb hung over: then he
got up In the bow of the boat and tied
one end of tha rope to the limb and
the other end around hla neck, sat
urated his clothing with oil and set It
on Ore, took a dose of arsenic, put the
musxle ot the revolver at hla temple
and pulled the trigger.
The bullet glanced. It cut the rope
above him and he fell kertlop into the
lake. The water put the fire out and
he nearly strangled, coughing up th
arsenic. The water was not deep
enough for him to drown and he waded
out and declared himself a candidate
for the management of a ball club.
"That's th real story of the origin
of the expression Happy Hogan," Hap
confided to Johnny Kane when the
Tlge.-a were here last trip. "I waa ao
ashamed of my deed and ao fearful of
arrest that I changed my name."
Living down a mistake has been the
subject of many an essay, but the ex
ample furnished by First Baseman
Merkle, of the New York Nationals is
one of th most Illustrious In history.
Dlggtnr back In The Oregonlan files
we find thla presa note sent out Sep
tember 21, 1908:
Ninth Inning Near Tork: Seymour out.
Ever, to Chance. Devlin singled. McCor
mlck forced Ivlln. Evers to linker. Mer

O'Day. who was escorted from the neld by
th police. t'hanc chased CVDay to the
bench and waa beatea and ahoved around
by tb crowd.
Th crowd Is swsrmlng out on the field.
O'Day took refuge under the stand. Chance
waa led to the cluhhouss It waa the same
play osi whlcb Chlcaro waa robbed of a
same at Pittsburg. This time O'Day waa
watrhlng second and was on top of the play.
Be Is now besleg.d under the grantlstantl.
O'Day stands pat nn his decision, defvtng
the mob. By fulling to touch s.cond Mer
kle haa lost the pnuant for the Giants
Everybody said It was Merkle'a finish.
No man could stick In baseball after a
bonehesd play like that. But he did.
And furthermore McGraw says he haa
had as much to do with New York'a
pennant thla Fall as any other man on
hla team.

Kvldontly the Beavers didn't find
much difficulty In solving the myster
ies of Vernon flinging. Hap Hogan'a
main theory la busted. Ho stoutly de
clared before the beginning of the
series that Portland players would fall
