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.

FIVE CLEVER YOUNG WOMEN APPEAR AT THE EMPRESS THIS
WEEK.
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.

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

Booth-Kelly Lumber Company, at Eu

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

VALEDICTORY
Sorrow and regret these are the two words
that best express our feelings as we say
good-bye to the multitude of friends made
for this paper by its great musical cam
paign in distributing that wonderful song
collection "Heart Songs."
The days during which our office has
been thronged by the great army
of music-lovers who have possessed
themselves of this work, have been
pleasant to us, and, we are sure,
have been both profitable and
pleasant to our readers.
Many homes have been enriched by this beautiful volume
an ornament to any library and a treasure whose value
enhances year by year. It has been praised by great
musical critics, and well merits the title bestowed upon
it by one of them, "The Master Work of Song Music."
Our offer has been made in good faith and our labor
richly rewarded. The influence exerted by our unique
educational project will be felt for years.
So, to our thousands of "Heart Songs" friends,
made in the past few weeks, we say, "Good bye!"
