GUARD DOUBLES AT NIGHT
Vigorous Recruiting Campaign to
Begin Tomorrow Men Wanted
for All Arms in Antici
pation of Call.
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.

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."

by County Physician O'Brien, assisted
by Dr. J. P. Drlscoll, and found to be

"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.

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.
