Stewart this morning received a letter from Lieut. -Commander J. H. Blackburn, ia charge of the recruiting of the United States Navy at Portland, telling of the splendid work that Oregon is doing in meeting the demand for Hs share of seamen. He states that by Friday Oregon will have recruited its allot ment and will probably be the first state to enroll ill quota. The letter is interesting and parts of it are republished as written: "We are receiving splendid young men for the Navy from the cities and towns of Oregon, and the Navy De partment has its eyes on Oregon, par ticularly at this time, because the State is responding so splendidly to the President's appeal for qualified young men. It is believed that on Friday night. April 20th, Oregon will have been the only State in the Union to furnish its quota for the emergency complement of the Navy. "However, the needs of the nation seem to point toward a minimum of 150.000 men for our first line of de fense, and it is very orobable that Oregon will again be called upon to furnish at least I .(Ml more men to the Navy next month. If the first line of defense is quickly and sufficiently strengthened, the nation will have time to train an army of millions, with the probability that that armv will never be called upon to expend blood and money in the defense of the na tion. Therefore, the urgent need of the Navy should be heeded first, and I believe, if the people of the country thoroughly understand, we wit! get quickly enough young men for the Navy, and thereby save countless thousands of lives."

BUT ONE HIPPODROME ACT PROVES PLEASHG The particularly bright feature of last night's Hippodrome Mil at the Globe Theatre last night was the dancing of the DeBeer Sisters. 1st . reality, it is Mrs. DeBeer and daugh ter. They never said a word just danced and it was a clever exhibition of the terpsichorean art. Their cos tumes were pretty and appropriate and their act a refined presentation of graceful movements. Not so much can be said for the other acts. While they were not ex actly had, they were not what would be called strong. They got by, and that was abont all. The pictures were good, howttvtT, and Fannie Ward in "The Yeart of the Locust," gave a fine Interpreta tion of the girl who married to please her hther drew a crook, and finally ended in happiness.
