The clciFr association of the Regular'
Army and National Guard officers, a
Fpirit that has long been fostered by
he War Department, will find expres
sion Wednesday night at the Armory,
when Brlgradier-General Marion P.
Staus, commanding the Department of
the Colombia, will be the reviewing
officer at the annual Inspection of the
militia troops stationed in Portland.
Kololwing that ceremony all the officers
of Vancouver Barracks will be guests
of the Guard officers at a smoker and
Informal reception.
Invitations have been sent out from
headquarters to the Regulars and ac
ceptances have already been received
frc.m practically all of them. They will
have a private car from Vancouver and
will return on a private car. which
will be tendered them by the Guard of
ficers. All arrangements for the en
tertainment have been completed and
it is to be the military event of the
year.
The Guard troops are preparing to
appear at their best for the Inspection
and review. General Maus, formerly
commanding officer of the crack Twen
tieth United States Infantry, is a mili
tary expert of wide repute and while
the local Guardsmen do not hope to
put up a Regular Army review, yet they
Ray it is their intention to make the
General feel the review is technically
accurate and up to the mark.
A military ball is shortly to be given
by the band of the Third Regiment.
The bandsmen have been busy of late
planning the affair, arranging the invi
tation list and making arrangements
for the biggest hop of the yearat the
Armory. At this time the band is in
a high state of efficiency, with a full
membership.
Now that the War Department has
given special orders permitting the
Fourth Regiment to retain its regi
mental identity .with but eight com
panies, recruiting has taken a boom
In the Southern Oregon stations. The
regiment ie reported to have had an
unusually narrow escape from transfer
to the Coast Artillery service, which
would have meant a loss of 50 per cent
of the membership. Four new com
panies must be organized in 'order to
bring the organization up to the re
quirements of the War Department, but
, before this can be done additional
money will have to be given by the
state for military purposes. The pres
ent appropriation Is $40",000. It Is said
an Increase of from J5000 to $10,000
will be asked.

out, which will necessitate large ex
pense. Plumbing- experts who have
gone through the building have re
ported that condemnation will be the
action of the plumbing inspectors who
are to look over the Armory at an early
date.
Several hundred dollars have been
subscribed by Guard of fleers . for the
establishment of an officers club at the
Clackamas Rifle Range early In the
Spring. The amount needed Is $2500.
The club is incorporated for $5000. A
suitable building is already standing
and while it is occupied at this time
by the range watchman. It will be va
cated and neatly furnished for the of
ficers before the opening of the 1910
range season May 1.
At a meeting of the general staff
set for January 1 the-date of the an
nual assemblage of all Guard officers
in the state will be settled. It has been
customary to hold these galherings late
in December, but the idea of several
of the staff was that the assemblage
be deferred until Spring, so that the
officers might receive practical field
instruction. "When the meeting oc
curs the officers are to be formed Into
a provisional company and drilled by
officers of the Regular Army from Van
couver Barracks.
An opportunity for contrasting the
pomp and ceremony of the United
States and British armies was afforded
at the Armory Monday night, when the
Duke of Connaught's Own Bugle Band
and Drill Platoon gave a complimen

the United States service was made to
appear a most prosaic vocation when
compared with the frills given the busi
ness by the Tommy Atkins waiors.
As soon as funds are provided a num
ber of Oregon towns will be selected
as stations for lnfantrv and artillerv

Dtj seieciea to secure rour companies,
"while . coast points will get three ar
tillery companies, for service as Coast
reserves. J
Within the next few days returns
will -be out for the past rifle practice
season, showing the qualifications that
have been made by the Third and
Fourth regiments. It is said by offi
cers that the number of expert rifle
men, sharpshooters and marksmen is
larger by 20 per cent than during any
previous year.

THE SIM 11 JE HOMB REMEDY.
The new remedy Salgrene "for rheu
matism and kidney trouble daily grow
ing more popular. Retarded action of
the kidneys causes an accumulation of
uric acid in the blood and forms the
foundation for rheumatism. Salgrene
acts directly on the kidneys, eliminat
ing the uric acid, thereby giving almost
instant relief.
Procure two ounces Salgrene, four
ounces pure olive oil and mix thor
oughly and take two teaspoonfuls
every three hours until relieved; then
one teaspoonful three times a day.

Pacific City, in Midst or Timber, to
Be Terminus Fifty Miles of
Railroad 'Planned.
Flores Lake, one of the most available
and best protected natural harbors on
the Pacific Coast, and situated in Curry
Count-. is to be connected by a deep
water look canal with the Pacific Ocean.
Articles of incorporation Tor the Pacific
City Canal Company were filed yester
day with a capital stock of $1,000,000.
The incorporators are George H. Stev
enson, a Portland business man; W. W.
Purdy, a civil engineer formerly con
nected with the Great Northern Railroad,
and W. H. Lang, a local real estate man.
Klores Lake is a body of fresh water
and is said to have an average depth of
40. feet. On its bank is situated the new
town of Pacific City, and it is intended
that the snipping which is expected to
eek the new harbor will pass . through
the canal. Immense tracts of virgin for
est lands are adjacent to Pacific City,
while 1ie coal mines of Curry County
which have been exploited, for years are
only eight miles distant. 0
The building of the new canal was at
first estimated to cost $800,000 and the
plans of the company comprehend its im
mediate completion, as well as the fouild-
lng of a 60-mile railroad, which will give
the new district connection with the in
terior of the state. The project has been
examined by engineers and pronounced
feasible. The canal will have sufficient
depth to admit the largest vesselB in the
coast trade.

As will be seen by the above summary. Central Oregon is to have a conspicuous place in the Annual. The opening of this
great territory, larger than Ohio and richer in resources, is of utmost importance to this state. The articles that have been pre
pared for this edition tell just what obstacles the railroads have to overcome in their construction race up the Deschutes Canyon
and give clear insight into the traffic possibilities that make such costly work advisable.
The advancement of Portland and the state at large will also be reflected in the Annual. The pictures that will accompany"
the articles have been carefully selected and were, almost without exception, taken by The Oregonian's own photographers espe
cially for this edition.
Orders for the Annual should be sent in promptly, as the circulation of the number will be immense. The New Year's Ore
gonian does more to advertise Oregon than any other publication. You cannot afford to miss this number, and it will be a
welcome New Year's message to your friends in the East. The price is 5 cents a copy. Postage in the United States, Mexico.
Canada and the Insular Possessions, 4 cents. Foreign postage, 8 cents.
