LIQUOR MARKED 'GASOLINE' i CRUISE TODAY WASHINGTON TARS JOIN Twenty Gallons of Contraband Alco hol Thrown Into Siuslaw. Kc&ervcs From Each State to Have Turns Manning First-Class Fight . lng Crart and Firing Guns In Target Practice. A special train will leave this morn lng at 9:10 o'clock from a siding abreast of the training ship Boston, carrs-ing the Oregon Naval Militia to Tacoma for the beginning of the 1914 cruise. The train Is due at Tacoma at 2 o'clock this afternoon, where th men will board the first-class cruiser Milwaukee. The big Navy vessel will then shift to Seattle to take on di visions of the "Washington Naval Mil itia, and at 10 o'clock tonight her anchor will come up and she will stand down Puget Sound, bound for a 2000 mile run to Honolulu. What has been given- out concern lng the cruise Indicates that previous trips, such as on the Boston to Coos Bay, on the Maryland to Los Angeles, and on the St. Louis to San Francisco, were only preliminary to the presen run. Hard Work Expected. Uncle Sam took personal charge of the Naval Militia recently. From his coffers have been abstracted certain funds for this trip. He Intends to dole out more. But like a mercenary tradesman, he looks for business-like returns. In this case they will be in the form of hard work that is calcu lated to develop the militia. Comman der J. M. Reeves was trasferred recent ly from the Vicksburg to temporary command of the Milwaukee, and of fleers of the militia here regard that move as intended solely to supervise the training cf the tars of the two states. This much is known, that Oregon's men have been assigned the port watch on the Milwaukee. Washington men taking the starboard .watch. Officers end men will do regular duty. The Mil waukee's force is so small militiamen must do their share of the work. Gen' eral drills will be in order on the voy- age to Honolulu and on the return crews will be trained at her guns. Reaching the Coast again, target prac tice will be held. The Navy Depart ment intends that the Oregon men shall be in full charge of the Bhip when their crews are firing. Washington men will do the same. This is where some strict markings will be given. H. F. Blair in Command. Lieutenant-Commander G. F. Blair is In command of the Oregon Naval Mil Itia.

Immensely clever and regular "poster" beauties are the five young maidens composing the "Violin Beauties" troupe at the Em press Theater this week. They sing to the dances and dance to their songs and play the merry violin to both. They sing a number of the season's song hits. One of their highly-entertaining novelties is the "National" num ber In which the entire company takes part. Garbed in the native costume of the land she represents, each girl sings the national song of that country and dances the national dance while playing her violin. Ireland, Spain, Germany, Scotland and Turkey are represented. Justice of the Peace Joe Morris, of Mapleton, seized it on its arrival. The material is valued at nearly $100.

His back may have been broken and In ternal injuries were sustained. pressions yesterday on the.-part of Northwest lumbermen at the regular monthly meeting of the West Coast Lumber Manufacturers' Association, at the Hotel Benson. The fact clearly was brought out that the stocks of retailers mow are unusu ally, low and that most all Northwest mills have been shipping at least up to their cut. " Inquiries for orders are more free than for some time past. It is predicted, too, tha the Nation's banner crop condition will tend toward a slight car shortage. These conditions, lumbermen declare, Indicate that prices will ascend slightly from their present bedrock level by Fall. How great this increase will be none present cared to predict, but-it probably will not be large at the out set. The delega'tes yesterday declared that prices will have to Increase con siderably before they can again receive any return on their full investments. E. W. Demarest, of Tacoma, reported at the . meeting yesterday, that the Southern Pacific has a requisition for about 5000 cars as another source of encouragement to the lumber industry. The meeting was one of the best at tended in Portland in a long time, over 50 being present, or a representation or about 25 per cent of the Northwest cut. The association after lengthy discus sion, unanimously adopted the resolu tion of Everett Griggs, of Tacoma. to retain its membership in the National Lumber Manufacturing Association, in the face of considerable talk of . re signing. Those who spoke in favor of the reso lution were J. P. McGoldrick, of Spo kane; J. N. Teal, of Portland; G. X. Wendling, . of San Francisco; Thorpe Babcock,. of Tacoma; Everett Griggs, of Tacoma, and D. E. Skinner, of, Seat tle. John W. Blodgett, of Grand Rap ids, Mich., and A. C. Dixon, of the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company, at Eu gene, also wrote in support of the Na tional membership. "A business that is nation and world wide in its aspects must, practice co operation through interassociation," said J. N. Teal. "The lumber business is first in the United States in some respects and second in others. We feel that the light is breaking and that conditions are going to be better." The trustees opened the day's ses sion with a private meeting yesterday morning, followed by a meeting of the advertising committee, at the luncheon hour. This committee has expended $35,000 in the last nine or ten months in advertisement of Northwest woods and another levy soon will be made of the additional $29,000 pledged to for ward this work. At the afternoon' business session Thorpe Babcock, of Tacoma, reported at length the benefits of the associa tion's exhibit at the Forest Products Expositions in Chicago and New York in May. A. B. Waspell pleaed for $10,000 to help finance the proposed "Lumber men's Building and Hoo-Hoo House" t the San Francisco Exposition, for exhibits from the various lumbering districts. It was referred to the adver tising committee, with power to act Howard F. Weiss, of the University of Wisconsin, reported that institu tion's work in furthering the lumber ing interests. "In the United States and Canada I have not seen so optimistic a feeling as prevailed here today," said Mr. Weiss. Committees appointed to canvass market and cargo conditions will re port at a special meeting, probably in Tacoma, July 16. On invitation of W. H. Boner, of the Weyerhaeuser Lumbering Company, at Everett, the next monthly meeting will be held there.
