Those sweet singers and e~bony-color-

recognized for years as a high-elass

scored a phenomenal popular success

are to be found the most talented
Afro-American singers, dancers and
comedians in the world. Sissieretta
Jones, the Black Patti, the vocal star
of the organization, in addition to being
the most gifted singer of her race, en-
joys the distinction of having sung be-
fore the largest audiences that ever
assembled in Madison Square Garden,
New York city, and the only colOred
female singer honored by royal com

GENERAL
FINER
REPORTS

Adjutant-G General w. L. Finer has
fled his ninth biennial report to the
] governor, for the years 1903 and 1904.
It is in part as follows:
A careful resume of the work per-
formed by the Oregon National
Guard during the past two years
shows a healthy and satisfactory pro-
gress. Under the national laws passed
by congress, and approved by the Pres
ident January 81, 1908, the National
Guard has become a part of the mill
tary force of the United States.
From every point Of view, target
practice is the most important work
with which we are charged.
Each organization in the state has a
suitable outdoor range. The Third in
fantry regiment also has an indoor gal
lery range for use in inclement wealth
err. Target practice is required of ev-
cry organization.
The Oregon National Guard is organ
lied at the present as follows:
The brigade organization, the or
ganization Of the Third and Fourth
Regiments, and of the First Separate
battalion, and Companies A, Third In
fantry, and H, Fourth Infantry, were
disbanded. The remaining 16 COM
panies of infantry were organized as
a regiment of 10 companies and a sep
arate battalion of four companies,
known as the Third Regiment of In
fantry, and the First Separate Battal-
ion of Infantry, respectively
The financial report of the two years
is as follows:
Annual appropriation for the
maintenance of the Nation
al Guard of the State for
1908. :. . ......... .$45, 100000

Whenever it could be done without
detriment to the best interests of the
guard, the strictest economy was OBJ
served in the matter of expenditures.
The passing of the Dick bill ''to
promote the efficiency of the militia, "
approved January 81, 1908, was of
great Importance to the National
Guard of the different states. The
act proceeds upon the following ideas:
That whenever the Unied States be-
comes involved in war, the regular
army will form but "A small part of it's
armed force, and the country must al
so rely for immediate and special ext
gencies, upon militia; and for service
going beyond the proper limits of mil
itia duty, upon volunteers.
The Oregon National Guard is now
armed with the United States maya
zine rife, caliber 80. The old Spring
field rife and equipments pertaining
thereto, with no loss to the state, have
been called in and returned to the ma
month
department of the state is now pre-
pared to issue to each organization the
required number of rifles and c~arbines,
in addition to those already issued, to
make up the maximum quota (56) fer
each infantry company and troop of
cavalry.

What is the secret of their success
What is that irresistible force which has
enabled them to overcome all obstacles,

Rockefeller has often said that he at
tributes his success largely to his ability
to influence and control the minds of
men. How to acquire that power is told
by Mr.. Edward Box in his Lecture, ''Keys
to Success, the most inspiring address to
young 1nen ever heard from an American
platform. Mr.. Box does not preach

advice. He tells young men
they can develop those quail >
pensable to success, and win botn money
and power. Every word is suggestive
and inspiring. @

Is PORT ARTHUR SEALED?
Ii is Believed to Be in Imminent
Danger of Isolation.
(By the Associated Press

London, May g. Friday
AleXieff's departure from Port Arthur
is interpreted here to mean that the
place is in imminent danger of iSola-
ton and the Japanese preparations
for landing are considered as confirm

been sealed up, probably by two of

failed to locate"
According to the Daily Telegraph s
Toxic correspondent todays jill
Shimho says:
"Our fleet has not returned 10 It's

execution of a prearranged program.
There is reason to believe that the
Japanese intend landing their second

The Berlin correspondent OF the

of the most extreme anxiety regard
