Uniformed militiamen with loaded rifles continued to patrol the North Bank Railroad bridge across the Co lumbia River and both the upper and lower decks of the Harrlman railroad fcridge In Portland yesterday. Adjutant-General George A. White, of the Oregon National Guard, aald the calling- out of further troopa to rein force the men of the Eighth Company, Oregon Coast Artillery, who are guard ing the bridges, was not contemplated at present. It is understood, nowever, that all members of the marine section of the Oregon Naval Militia, have been noti fied to hold themselves ready to re spond to a call to service at any hour. It would not surprise officers and enlisted men of this command if their expected call to arms for guard duty were to come today. While General White would not dis cuss the subject, it was believed that an extension of the patrol to include the North Bank bridge across the Wil lamette River at St. Johns is planned. Brldare Has Strategic Value. While not nearly so important a rail artery as the North Bank bridge over the Columbia and the Harriman railroad bridge across the Willamette River at Portland,' damage to either of which would seriously cripple rail service- in and out of Portland, It is a bridge of much strategic value. It was learned yesterday that the call' by Governor Withycombe for troops to guard the railroad bridges was not made at the request of the railroads. In fact, the first informa tion they had that troops had been summoned to protect the bridges was when they were directed Friday "night to remove their civilian guards. The action was taken by Governor Withycombe on his own Initiative, as lie considered the situation serious enough to Justify the precaution of calling out the military. With the bridges guarded, Oregon is no longer in danger of being Isolated from the out side by the work of a fanatic or spy. Patrols Are Inspected. General White, accompanied by Colo nel C. E. Dentler. United States Army, Inspected the guard patrols at the two bridges yesterday. Arrangements have been made and carried out also to for ward more supplies to the men.. The exact number of men on guard at the bridges was considered a military secret, subject to censorship. It was declared for publication, however, that the guard on duty is doubled at night. Plans have been perfected by General White to begin a vigorous campaign next week to obtain recrjits for the Oregon National Guard. Virtually every company In the organization is below its required minimum strength, and it la imperative to fill the ranks. The campaign will begin at noon to morrow. A recruiting office will be opened at 106 Fourth street, between Washington and Stark, and Captain Cicero F. Kogan, commanding Troop A, Cavalry, has been detailed as officer in charge. Honor Guard to Assist. Co-operating in the campaign for re cruits will be the Girls' Honor Guard, the Portland Chamber of Commerce and the Woman's Co-operative Club. The intention is to furnish informa tion to young men of military age who would like to enlist in the National Guard. Young men are desired espe cially who are not in position to enlist In the regular Army or Navy, but who feel it is their patriotic duty to be available for military duty it the can comes for active service. National Guard officers will make i supreme effort to obtain recruits. How ever, though hopeful, they are not at all optimistic, as past experience has been that for 30 who talk patriotically there is about one who is willing to shoulder a rifle. Men Wanted for All Arms. If the campa'gn is a success, the re cruiting station will be kept open until the full quota of men needed is od taintd. The recruiting office, under Captain Hogan, will be open each day from noon until 10 o ciock r. an. Recruits will be enlisted for all branches of the serv'ce, including in fantry, cavalry, coast artillery, field artillery and naval militia. For the time being, however, recruits will not be assigned to companies but will be put in a- separate recruit company and Intensively trained. The report was current in National Guard circles yesterday that Ensign George E. Dow, paymaster of the Ore iron Naval Militia, will be sworn into the Federal service next week with In structlons to proceed at once to bring equipment of the Oregon Naval Militia up to standardv in view of a probable call for the entire Naval Militia into the Federal service.

March 14. ffine- clal.) One hundred and fifty farmers gathered at Mount Angel to listen to addresses delivered by several of the prominent men of the state. The ob ject of the meeting was to induce the "IN OLD KENTUCKY" OFFERED FOR FIRST TIME 25 YEARS AGO Million Made by Producer Who Thought That Play Was of Little Value, bat Who Later Got Rights Baker Bills It Today. Efrn , n v r r. vw0JMJ hi r N OLD KENTUCKT" was first produced by The Litt Stock Company in St. Paul. Minn., in 1892, 25 years ago. Among the mem bers of that organization wero Marlon- Elmore, the first girl to play Madge. It bas been the vehicle for many stars, including Julia Arthur, Frank Losee, Will Harklns, Joseph Zalmer, Louis James, Paul Gllmore. Ruth Carpenter and a Mr. Edson (not Robert), who first played Uncle Neb, the old darky. Photographs and data were furnished by A. B. Cole, of The Underwood Type writer Company, who was a great stock enthusiast in St. Paul at that time. He originally had photographs of the entire company. As the story goes Charles T. 'Dazey, author of "In Old Kentucky,' tried to get every manager he could reach to produce It but received but scant at tention from any of them. He left a copy of the play with Jacob Litt, of the Litt Stock Company, end Litt turned it over to his stage director to read at his leisure. Stage directors do not get much leisure so the play lay rusting on the shelf. Time went by and fate brought about a condition wherein Litt was short a plaj,. There was no time to order another from New York and , something had to be done or close for a week. Walter Damrosch and New York Musicians Coming In April. Negotatlons were completed yester day whereby the New Tork Symphony Orchestra, Walter Damrosch, conductor, and Efrem Zimballst. star violinist, will appear in concert in this city about the midle of April, under the direction of Steers & Coman. That is all that is definitely known at present. Walter Damrosch and the New Tork Symphony Orchestra are well known and esteemed in this city where they have appeared already In concerts. The rew York Symphony Orchestra is different from the ordinary traveling orchestra: It is one of the world's great orchestras. It is now in its 89th year and has been so highly developed by Mr. Damrosch that it is spoken of as 'one great Instrument upon which the conductor plays." This orchestra Is fortunate in having been endowed by Harry Harkness Flagler, its president, with 8100,000 a year, the largest endowment of any orchestra in the world. Its members play with no other musical organiza tions, have no other woric but the prep-' aration ana perlormance of master pieces for presentation at. public con certs, and there are dally rehearsals. The general effect of all this is seen in the orchestral ensembles. That Is why the New Tork Symphony Orchestra is "different." EUGENE GIRLS TRAINING Instruction In .

One hundred and fifty girls, members of Girls' National Honor Guard in Eugene, received instruction in wig-wagging and semaphoring at the Eugene Armory last night. Lieutenant Willis Shlpman, U. S.

He was committed to the Eastern Washington Hospital for the Insane at Medical Lake. wasn. c2 "Can't you dig up somathin-r esA Litt of the director. "There is nothing but that play of Dazey's," was the answer. "Read it and see if anything can be aone witn it. said Litt. After the director had read it he re ported that It was not much good, but with a lot of fixing it might go. The play was put on. It took like wild fire to a dry prairie and Litt imme diately made a deal with the author for the sole rights. His fortune was made and when he died 20 odd years later his estate was valued at more than 81.000,000. There was never but one "In Old Kentucky" company on the road at a time and some of the players and other attaches remained with it for many years Norman Peel, the advance agent, well known in Portland, was ahead of it more than 12 years. It is finally, after all this quarter of a century of success, now in the hands of the stock companies, where it was originally born. A sort of second childhood, by the way and one that seems to be repeating its traveling company triumphs, for everywhere it has been so produced come reports of pocked houses all the time. Portland will see its first stock pro duction of "In Old Kentucky" at the Baker today with race horses, pick aninnies and all the other traditional . features. . Plan Is to Kalso Funds En Route by Making Addresses on Moan tain Climbing and Showing Views Which Will Be Taken. The three members of the Mazama Club who plan to start on a hike on April 2 that will take them to Chicago if their plans work out, and then pos sibly further East, have had consider able experience in scaling the snowcaps of the Coast. Clement Blakney, of Mllwaukle, Dean Van Zant, of 849 Front street, and Chester Trichel. of E35 Mall st: jet. are the lads who will leave with 810 in cash and 10 pounds of grub each in their knapsacks. Leaving Portland, they say that they will travel east to Mount Hood, the first of the peaks that they will ascend. All three of the boys have braved the snows of the Oregon peak several times. The party then will proceed down the ridge when they will visit and climb Mount Jefferson and each of the Three Sisters. Not only that, but the young men while on the travel will camp out and rough it in every sense or the word at Crater Lake and in that forest reserve. They will go on to Mount Shasta. After ascending that, the three will return to Oregon and start east from the southern part of this state. They also will pass through Northern California into Oregon and then through lower Idaho. Absence May Be for Years. If the young men obtain work alonir the way as they plan to do, using rec ommendations that they will ask of the Mayor f Portland and of the Chief of Police, they will reach Chicago late In the Fall. If they pass the Winter there, they, will start east again in the Spring and may not return to Portland for two or three years. Climbing equipment will be carried by the youths, who will have to travel some 125 miles on snowshoes because of the early start they will make. Sleeping bags will be taken along also. They will use no guides, as they think they are well qualified for the under- ' taking because of their experience. They will ship rations for two weeks to Detroit, Or., where they will stop for a time. They will carry firearms, and the packs of each will average about 40 pounds. Parkas, snowshoes. ropes and ice-axes will be used in the ascents. Addresses Be Made. If they climb Jefferson in mid-April, as they plan, they will make a record, as this mountain is one of the most dangerous. Talks on the country through which ' they pass will be given along the way to raise expenses, and later the boys -will add stereopticon views to their entertainment. Two of them have had experience in taking outing pictures, - and cameras will be used extensively. All three have climbeZ Mount Hood several times, as well as Mount Adams and the lesser nearby peaks. They claim a record for their ascension last August of three peaks in one day, the largest peaks north of Mount Hood. They were Chlnldere, Green Point and Mount Defiance. Each of these is more than 4500 feet high. The youths say that they scaled Rooster Rock in the record time of 11 minutes. Van Zant is a member of the Mult nomah Club, and Blakney of the T. M. C. A. CHANGE GIVEN TEACHERS MAXTJAI TRAIMJfO INSTRUCTORS TO TAKE SUMMER WORK. Passage of Smith-Hushes Bill Allowing Federal Aid Proves Popular With Hundreds Here. That the passage of the Smith- Hughes bill, allowing Federal aid for the instruction of manual training sub jects in the different rtates, already is causing hundreds of manual training teachers to take up Summer school work, is the assertion of L. L. Sum mers, supervisor of manual training in the Portland public schools. According to those connected with the superintendent's office in this city, it Is said that almost every manual training teacher in Portland has signed to take work in the University of Ore gon Summer school this coming Sum mer. Mr. Summers said: The man who is frolng- to be favored under the SmlthHughes bill is the man who has come up through shop training, and haa added to this practical foundation the regular scholastic training. For this reason 1 am much interested in the movement to get the University of Oregon, the Ore gon Agricultural College and Reed Col lege to unite on some permanent plan of extension courses in Portland, so our In dustrial teachers may go- ahead and work for degrees. We are now working on tentative courses. The Smith-Hughes bill provides Federal aid for schools vocational in character. It started with an appropriation of $1,000,000 a year and Increases the amount available until a fund of S8.000.00O or S9.000.000 an annually is reached. Our industrial teach ers are beginning right now to equip them selves to meet the requirements of the larger work to be made possible under this bill.
