ing drawbacks to sugar refiners.
Senator Broussard, of Louisiana, urged
the action. The change, it is said, will
operate to benefit domestic sugar pro
ducers, and incidentally, reduce Fed
eral revenues about $16,000,000. The
"drawbacks" virtually are repayments
of customs duties to refiners after they
refine and export imported raw sugar.

THIRD GIVES SEND-OFF TO ITS
NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS
Men at Clackamas Must Apply for Passes and Then Have Them Approved
V Before Being Allowed to Leave Camp.
BY WILL G. MAC RAE.
AT THE THIRD REGIMENT CAMP,
June 1. (Special.) Just to prove that
the "No Admittance" order issued by
Colonel John L. May, commanding the
Third Oregon Regiment, warning all
visitors unless they desire to enlist
means business, read circular 27, posted
on the bulletin board Thursday night.
Visitors.
"Civilian visitors to this- camp will
not be permitted on any part of the
grounds now occupied by the troops or
west of the building occupied by head
quarters and extending to the northern
boundary of the rifle range, and in ad
dition civilian visitors will not be per
mitted on or near the grounds occupied
by the stables, corrals and such build
ings as lie west of the road, except by
express permission of the regimental
commander.'
Another rule that has gone Into ef
fect is that relating to passes. No sol
dier or officer .is allowed to appear on
tne streets or roruana or eisewnere in
citizen dress unless by permission. One
of the big Jobs in camp now is that of
obtaining passes. The enliBted man
must first go to his Captain, obtain a
pass and then have the pass approved
by the camp adjutant. All of which is
Just another evidence that there is no
more of the National Guard stuff in the
Third Oregon.
With the leaving last night for the
Presidio of Sergeant-Major Vickery,
Captain Logus, the regimental Adju
tant, has only one member of his head
quarters staff left as it existed when
the call came. He Is Sergeant-Major
Robins. The going away of 25 mem
bers, the pick of the non-commissioned
staff, means promotions for corporals
and privates of the companies from
which these men were drawn.
. Sergeant Sullivan Promoted.
One of the big promotions has come
to Sergeant Arthur B. Sullivan, former
assistant sporting editor of The Ore
gonian. Sergeant Sully, as he is called,
did a hitch in the regular Army before
joining the Third. In getting into the
Army game Sergeant Sullivan's news
paper training was a great help, for
he soon became past master in Army
paper work. When Major Daugherty
was Captain of Company B. he at once
discovered Private Sullivan and ap
pointed him as his supply sergeant
while on the Mexican border. He wat
Btill serving'as supply sergeant when
the Third was called out, but recently
he was detached and sent to headquar
ters. Today another promotion came
his way. He was appointed Sergeant
Major. Sergeant-Major Sullivan begins
his new duties upon the same day as
the new Army pay bill goes into effect.
Promotion also came to Mess Ser
geant Bert E. Lewis. He has been ap
pointed color sergeant. Color sergeant
Lewis has seen about 20 years in the
National Guard service of the United
States. Before coining to Portland he

PROTEST IS LIKELY
Crfamber Expected to Take
Stand Against Steamer Sale.
MEETING IS ON WEDNESDAY
Idea Originally Was That Action
Would Be Formal, but Probabil
ity of Sale Anyhow May Lead
to Lengthy Discussion.
Directors of the Chamber of Com
merce will consider the proposed pur
chase of the turbiners Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern and steamers
Beaver and Rose City, at their regu
lar meeting Wednesday night. A for
mal report from the Portland Traffic
and Transportation Association reached
the Chamber yesterday, explaining the
line of investigation conducted by a
sub-committee and of the action of the
main body Thursday in withholding
consent to. the plan.
It has been assumed since the last
meeting of the traffic organization
that directors of the Chamber would
not go further into the matter but act
in line with the vote of the former
body. That may be carried out yet
since the talk is general that the Great
Northern Pacific Steamship Company
may dispose of the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern to avoid further
losses, it is not improbable some of
the directors of the Chamber will seek
more information from the Pacific
Steamship Company as to its policy in
the matter of service and rates re
garding Portland if the merger of the
fleets is ultimately carried out. Should
that be done it is felt the Chamber's
executives will participate in a general
discussion of the movement to take
over the vessels.
It was a week ago today since the
plans of the company were made pub
lie by the Chamber and it was thought
then that only a few days would elapse
before final action was recorded, but
the Chamber directorate is not con
templating a special session and by
Wednesday developments may be such
as to alter the existing situation.
No additional expression has been
received from the Pacific Steamship
interests, officers of the company hav
ing so far remained ' silent since meet-
frig with the Portland Traffic and
Transportation Association a week ago.
Should the turbiners be lost to Port
lad without the Beaver and Rose City
being included in the deal, there is
speculation as to whether the San
Francisco & Portland Steamship Com
pany would provide another ship to
operate with them, as the shutting off
of the outlet via Flavel would mate
rially increase the freight offerings
from Portland. As the steamer Bear
was lost a yejar ago and no move has
been made to replace it. it is doubted
if the fleet would be added to now.
The Paint. Oil and Varnish Club,
composed of manufacturers and Job
bers of those products, has protested
against the proposed merger of the
lines on the ground it would be detri
mental to the interests of Portland.
FRESHET CLOSES SAWMILLS
Peninsula and Multnomah Plants
First to Be Reached by High Water
Two sawmills shut down yesterday
because of high water, the Peninsula
Lumber Company, foot of McKenna
avenue, and the Multnomah Lumber &
Box Company, foot of Bancroft avenue.
The official gauge showed 32 feet above
zero' when operations were suspended
At a 24-foot stage other mills will have
to cease operations.
The difficulty with the freshet lies
in the fact lhat machinery, for driving
the big saws and other gear, is located
beneath the main mill platforms and
with big fly wheels churning there
naturally the plant would be impaired.
In the mills closing down many men
are placed on the idle list and in turn
towboat companies have their work
fought througrh the Spanish war with
that organization. His elevation also
meant the appointment of Elmer R.
Snyder, cook of headquarters company,
as mess sergeant.
Captain Ilogan Reeraltinjc.
Captain Hogan, of Troop A, has been
assigned to act as recruiting officer to
aid in recruiting the Third Oregon.
Captain Hogan will be in the Cavalry
and Battery recruiting office, at 106
Fifth streets, and recruits not liking to
Journey out to the Third Regiment In
fantry camp, can sign all necessary
papers before him.
The Third is still in need of 30 men
and Colonel May is eager to be at war
strength at the earliest date. Good
cooks, horseshoers, a B-flat corne
player, one who can double in playing
tne piano, are greatly desired and me
chanics are badly needed..
Recruits are finding their way ou
to the Third Regiment Infantry camp,
and undoubtedly because of the strict
orders not to let anyone pass into the
grounds, some have lost heart when
they encountered the guard at the
gate. Those who did make their busi
ness known and have enlisted are

".Non-Coma" Get Seadoff.
The 25 non-commissioned officers of
the Third who left for the Presidio last
night received a farewell and "God
speed you" that will stand as the one
unusual event of their careers. Five
minutes before train time notkae was
sent to the non-commissioned officers
in camp that Sergeant-Major Robins
would act as Colonel and escort the
Presidio delegation to the train. This
was perhaps the first time in the his
tory of the Army that a full battalion
and regimental band was officered
throughout by non-commissioned of
ficers. It was a night, or evening, rather,
when all the commissioned officers re
tired and watched the competent non
commissioned officers form and march
a full battalion. What is best, it was
well done, which goes to show that in
spite of the fact that the Third was
stripped to the bone of its cream of
non-commissioned officers there were
left those who could deliver the goods.
All of the officers of the Third, from
Colonel May down, were loud In their
praise for the way the battalion was
formed and marched to and from the
depot.
William Riedt, the well-known Port
land contractor and father of the Third
Oregon, always doing practical things
for the good of the service, today pre
sented the new Exchange with a hand

regiment a handsome flag.

more than Puget Sound last month, the
northern port having floated 158,775

1,955,743 bushels. As Portland shipped
9,401,705 bushels in the same period

Almost an entire week of sun
shine and it has seemed to shine
brighter at the Oaks than mot,
places. Little children have romped
over the inviting; green grass; their
merry laughter can be heard all
day as the monkeys or the bears do
some particularly amusing stunt.
Their parents have enjoyed the
concerts given daily, have delighted
picnicking under the trees and
hare gone home at night feeling
refreshed and ready for the cares
of the week after a day in the
open.
The Metropolitan Orchestra,
headed by George McElroy, render
popular concerts every afternoon.
There will be dancing in the pa
vilion this evening. W. E. McElroy
and his splendid band will entertain
in the pavilion at 8:30. Miss Eloise
Anita Hall will be special soloist.
Splendid driveway for motoring
out. Street cars leave First and
