Flnzer has transmitted it to Governor Chamberlain, together with a number of timely and valu able suggestions and recommenda tions for. the improvement of the guard. On the subject of changes occurring in the organisation of tha stats military forces' during the past two years, the adjutant general reports as follows: "One infantry company WB4T organised at each of the following places: Pen dleton, Cottage Grove, Oregon City, Mc Minn villa and Dallas. A coast artillery company was organised at Astoria, and an ambulance company at Portland. The First separate battalion and the four auumonai companies namea were or ganised into an eight company resrl- ment," . , ' . , Attention Is also directed to the Ala. banding of Company Iv located at La Grande, on account of It havinnhad less man . me minimum number on men on the rolls for two consecutive inspec tions and for having failed to maintain the proper standard of efficiency. Under tha head of -"Coast Artillery Corps the report has "the following to say: . . Coast Osfeass Work. "In the scheme of national defense, tha particular burden, which each coast state should be willing to assume, 4a that of giving; assistance to the regular coast artillery In manning tha guns and the local forts for defense from a for eign foe. ' The war department has urged that the coast states take up tha work of organizing reserves to the reg ular coast artillery. In compliance with thin wixh. tha ITirst Mmtunv na,t . tillery. located at Astoria, was mustered into the service of tha state July 9, 1808. This organisation has the dis tinction of being the first coast artillerr rompany of reserves organised on the racinc coast, it is Intended that at least two additional companies be or ganised within the next year." ' The report points out. tha pressing need of a suitable ride range near Port land. On this subject tha adjutant ren- eral reports as, follows: - . Buy BJfls Bangs. "It has been the doIIcv of the state of Oregon up to this time to lease the ground needed for ranges. It has bean found Impossible to secure the distance for 800 and 1000 yard practice at a number of places. The six infantry companies located in Portland have been ! unable to lease a range where the dla-1 tance was more than 600 yards.

Jack on, U. 8. A. (retired) on duty with the Oregon - National guard for his able council and advise. I am ffrateful to the officers -and men of the-OreRon National guard for their loyal support of this department and for their. prompt performance of every duty ordered," , SAILOESMUSTBE SLAVES NO 3I0EE - (Contjnned From Page One.) facts as presented., to them by tha mayor are mad plain. ' ' ; ' But if the "veto should not be sus tained, Wlsschusen As Jones declare Attorney George M. Shepherd that they will continue to ooerate, and If 1hs city arrests them their -defense will be that they have been granted a license under certain conditions and that they have not violated their contract with '. the city. Attorney Shepherd says tha city is bound to lose out if the law ia In voked, as -tha employment firm has an Unassailable position. Following is th veto message given out by the mayor last night; j . . .. Tha Mayor's Xessaga. " .',' .'; To tha Honorable Cljty Council- J return herewith ordinance No. 18.629 not approved. This Is an ordinance which - revoke- a license granted to George H. Wlsschusen and - Charles Jones to conduct an employment agency at Na Ul Burnside street. i The reason for the revocation of the license of these persons, is alleged in the ordinance, to be that it was ob tained by misrepresentation.- The facts which relate to this affair seem to be that the firm of Wlsschusen and Jones ' after securing; a license to conduct an agency,- began -operations by obtaining employment for Idle sailors in need of work upon such ships lying in the harbor as required their services. In securing employment for sailor and not confining their attention - to f providing places for other Kinds of abor these persona have evidently dis turbed conditions which ' have long ex isted in' this city, and thereby apparent ly have made It unpleasant for such persons- as are much Interested in the methods to be pursued in that line of work. Whether this Is true or not. the fact would peem to be that anyone having paid for ltcensa or grant Jo engage in the employment business would be In possession of a right to secure employment for any and all per sona, sailors not excepted, so Jong as the work to be engaged In waa. not an unlawful occupation. I am likewise of the opinion that not only Messrs. wlsschusen and Jones, from whom the license is attempted to be taken away by this ordinance, - but all other employment agents are quite within,, their rights.' and at full liberty to I secure employment - at their occu pation for aa many sailors as , they can find ; berths t for, " and neither tha city, council nor any one else has the authority or the power to deny them the privilege of so doing. - The ordinance appeals to me as be ing an act of discriminating class legis lation which, would only result in bene fit .to a few . at the expenae of the entire community if It became a law and therefore not only against public policy but arbitrary and perhaps null and void aa well. , ; - I return it to you for your further consideration, gflfo Mayor. - FKOMINENT 3I0NTANA ; PIONEER SUCCUMBS ..';:, . y .. -- :.v;:..
