Slight Fire in conIey's Oil Store.

The alarm of fire about $50 p. m. yes
terday was occasioned bya slight blaze
in the large oil store of j. Conley, on
East Commercial street. In some way a
blaze was started on top of a large tank
on the first floor. Thence the.aames
leaped to the beams overhead, and as
these were satuated with oil there was
soon big blaze and much smoke. The
department responded quickly, and the
chemical engine at once ran two hose in
to the building and quickly extinguished
every vestige of fire. The chemical
engine is especially valuable for such
fires. The store is huge store-house
for oils and greases of every kind, and a
fire once started could not fail to bea hot
one.

Some of the Speeches They Heard.
The life Of a military organization like
that of the individual soldier may reach
80 years. If it is attained, then the organi-
cation, or the individual, stands out
prominent among other men or organiza-
tions. Gen. Neal Dow is good example
of vigorous and aggressive old age, and
the Portland Light Infantry shows

1903" SO prominently displayed in the
armory. ar
The rain sadly changed the programme
last evening. Of all the companies of
the battalion, the Montgomery Guards
alone, under Lieut.. Hogan, turned out to
do escort duty. The idea of dress
parade was given up, and Gov. Cleaves
reviewed the company from the Fall
mouth Hotel.
At the dinner Gen. Conner, represented
the Governor, and in his brilliant uni
form was the one who attracted the most
attention, as well he might for his dis
tinguished military services long ago
placed him in the front rank of the
soldiers Of Maine. Col. Kendall, COM
manding the First Regiment sat at the
right Of Capt. Dow, and ex-Alderman
Galley at his left. Lieut.. Hogan of the
Montgomery Guards, Capt. Davis of
the Cadets, Capt. Conley and Lieut..
Sheehan of the Sheridan Rifles, Capt.

Adjutant General Connor
responded to the sentiment "The State
of Maine" Gen. Conner said he regret
ted the absence of Gov. Cleaves, but he
bore to the company the congratulations
of His Excellency. He spoke of the
deep interest felt by GOV. Cleaves in the
National Guard of the state.
1t is to be regretted that the weather
prevented the parade, but soldiers must
take the weather as it comes. The inter-
est felt in the militia of the state is graf
Tying, but still it is doubtful if people
understand the value of a well disciplined
military force, as an adjunct to the
the law. After the war it seemed as if
there would be a four-fold interest in
the militia, but every generation must
learn for itself.
Gen. Conner spoke of the efforts of
Col. Cutting of California to get bet
ter support for the national guard. Col.
Cutting showed how many times the
militia had been called on in this coun-
try to support the civil authority, and
even IN this state we have had good rea-
son to be thankful that we have bayo-
nets back of the authorities.

When what one of the citizen-soldiers
called "rations'' were disposed of Capt.
Dow raped to order and made
Graceful Opening Speech.
He called attention to the fact that 90
years ago Gov. Strong of Massachusetts,
issued charters to the Worcester, Mass,
and Portland Light Infantry. Capt.
Dow congratulated his command that
the annual meeting has never been ne
elected. Twice the two organizations
had common celebration of the ami
versary. He spoke of the late Alexan-
der Bell, who said that even in the dark
days of the war the anniversary was
not forgotten. Capt Dow, in closing,
introduced ex-Alderman r. K. Galley
as the POSTMASTER of the evening.
Mr.. Galley made bright opening
speech. AS always he was happy in his
toasts. He said that after such ban
quet, it seemed almost wrong for him to
offer "a little dry toast.n He could not
believe that 80 years ago the Portland
Light Infantry had a better, brighter
or handsomer set of men than TIL ose
who are now commanded by Capt. Dow.
The following letters were read by Mr..

All Maine People Treated Well at the Fair
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Hasty have re-
turned from their trip to Chicago and
Sioux Falls. Mr.. Hasty says that Chica-
go and the World Fair speak for them
selves, and both must be seen to be APP
preciated. The State of Maine building,
under the efficient management of Gen.
G. P. Mattocks cannot be two highly
praised by the Maine visitors, who make
this building their headquarters, while
they are on the fair grounds. In regard
to Sioux Falls Mr.. Hasty reports large
increase in the wholesale trade OF, that
place, The rich farming lands of the
prairies of South Dakota, in.the eastern
part Of the state, have more than doub-
led in value within the last three or four
years, and the land in all that region is
being settled up rapidly, with sure
prospect of still further advance all
through the state in the price of farm
land. Sioux Falls is a great railroad
center, is the metropolis of the state, and
is the headquarters and distributing
point for the wholesale trade of that Sec
ton. The future outlook for Sioux
Falls is very promising.
