clever The masqueraders had the floor for
dancing during the early evening, after
which they mingled with their friends and
continued to make things merry until a

Gen. -Wilmar w. Blackmar of Boston, was
present and made an address, and Com

OREGON LAND FRAUDS.
Jury's barge Business Will Take An
other Day-Heney's Return.

PORTLAND, Ore, February SIT now
appears that the work of the federal grand
jury which is investigating the land fraud
cases is so great that the jury will not be
able to conclude its work by Saturday
night, and another day will have to be
added to the long space already occupied
1t is now stated that the jury will adjourn
Monday next.
District Attorney F. j. Heney, accompa-
MED by Oliver E. Pagin, special assistant
from the Department of Justice, will leave
for Washington Tuesday, where Mr. Heney
IS to argue an application for habeas cor
pus in The Hyde-Dimond case before the
Supreme Court.
The trip of Mr.. Heney to Washington will
occupy all of a month, 1t is thought. after
which time he will return to Portland and
will not leave until the last of the land
fraud cases Is finished.
1t is not expected that the grand jury
will return any more indictments until the
last of the week.

Business of Encampment.

The first business of the encampment was
the examination of the credentials of the
representatives and alternates from the
various posts and their verification by
committee appointed for the purpose. The
encampment Is made up of representatives
of each post, with appropriate alternates.
Each post is represented in accordance with
its membership. AS soon as the organiza-
ton was completed, the commander-in-
chief, General Blackmar. accompanied by
several members of his staff and other dis
tinguished guests, was escorted to the
commanders stand and given seat of
honor Commander Hart then introduced
General Blackmar, who made "A brief ad-
dress in which he outlined the arrange
ments that have been made for the annual
encampment at Denver next year. He also
announced that on Sunday night next a
meeting to commemorate the birth of Pres
ident Lincoln will be held at the National
Theater in this city under the auspices of
Burnside Post. No s, @. A. r. General
Blackmar urged all the veterans to attend
the meeting and advised them that he had
been invited, and had accepted the invita-
ton to preside. The exercises will include
an excellent program of songs and ad-
dresses. The speaker then related some
experiences In the great conflict for the
preservation of the Union and concluded his
remarks early, as he said he knew the en-
campment had much business TO perform.
Short addresses were also made by Col. j.
+. Gilman, past adjutant general, and Will
liam II. DIN, secretary of the state of
Massachusetts.

Commander Hart's Report.

The annual address of Commander Hart
was then made. Col. Hart stated that dur
ing the past year the ranks of the veterans
have been thinned by the death of ninety
seven members of the department. Dhere
was a slight addition to the membership,
he said but the new commander will come
into command which has sustained a net
loss of sixty-nine men during the past year.
This loss by death, the commander stated,
should remind the members of the fact
that they are on the outward march, and
1t behooves them to close ranks and stand
shoulder to shoulder as long as a man is

Street Railway Service.

A letter from Gen. Harries of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company, an
swering complains made at the last meet
ing of the association concerning the 18th
street car service. admitted the conditions
complained of, but assured the citizens
that everything possible is being done to
make the service better. 1t was stated that
owing to the unexpected volume of bust
ness on this extension the operating de-
partment had been overtaXed to accommo-
date the traffic, and al present It would be
impossible to change the schedule the best
possible service being given with the pres
ent equipment.
A communication from the District COM
missoners-was read in answer to the petit
ton forwarded by the association urging
that Park, Whitney and Lowell streets be
combined under one name, Park avenue
The Commissioners replied that the change
of names In the first division had not vet
been undertaken, but that when that part
of the city is reached in the matter OF
nomenclature of streets, the petition would
be given due consideration.

citizens associations in the District. he
congratulated the Columbia Heights Asso-
ciation on its good work in the past, ana
he told of the birth of the first association

which gave the efforts of the citizens full
implicitly and aided In reaching the pubic

has been an effort from time to tlme 10

has always been thwarted by clasIlihe oi
interests, which sometimes appeared even
in the committee rooms of Congress.
The speaker referred briefly to the Board
| of Trade as composed of eight hundred
broad-minded citizens from every part oil
the District, with unselfish interests and a
keen desire, among other things, for the
betterment of the city's park system. and
particularly for the establishment or a

The business of the convention was to

election to the commanders post on ac-
count of i'll health. The selection of the
senior vice commander is virtually the
election of commander next year, be-
cause the senior vice commander inVari-
ably succeeds to the higher office, unless
he should decline. Therefore, the fight
this year waXed hot because of that fact.
Candidates Actively at Work.
For several months past candidates for
the Office have been quietly at work Sc
curing pledges of votes in the encamp-
ment. AS far back as last summer at least
one of he candidates commenced his
electioneering. The lines of division be-
tween the posts were soon tightly drawn.
The first candidate to enter the field de-
veloped many friends and a host of enc
mics as well. The two parties quickly
began an active campaign, which has
been going on since fall. At first there
was but one candidate, with parties for
and against him. The opposing party
bided its time in the selection of its can
didate and almost made the fight a per-
sonal matter against the man who had
declared himself. Within short time,
however, q candidate was selected, and
then the work took on even a more
heated phase.
AT no time have the adherents of the two
parties lost chance to make votes, and in
some Instances personalities have been in
duged In which would seem to have no
place in such an organization and in such
a fight. The fight waXed fast and furious
as the time for the encampment approach
ed. and only reached climax last night on
the floor of the encampment when the nom-
nations were made One of the candidates
for the office. Mr.. b. +. Chase. former al
jUtant general of the department, has made
his campaign a personal matter, and has
worked as hard as any of his lieutenants.
He has large following. Gen. Lleweilyn
G. Estes, the other candidate, did not enter
the campaign personally until few days
ago. He contented himself with allowing
his friends to manage his affairs for him,
as he had declined the nomination and was
forced to accept it because of the feeling
in his post Within the past few days,
however, Gen. Estes has made the cam
paign a personal matter. Each side claims
| to have secured enough pledges to elect its
candidate, and in the nominating speeches
| last night the adheTentS of the two NOM
| inees exhausted their vocabulary of flow
| cry adiectivcs in .lauding the virtues of
| their standard bearers. The post feeling
| runs high and the posts are sharply divd-
| ed on the controversy. Gen. Estes is a
| member of John A. Rawins Post, No. l,
and Mr.. Chase member of Lincoln Post,
No. 3. Capt. Hiram Buckingham, the pres
| ent senior vice commander, and the man
| who could succeed to the office of COM
| mander if he desired, is member of John
| A. Rawlins Post, and consequently the
| members of that post think the next COM
! membership should go to one of their mem
| bers 1t is this feeling in the post which
| resulted in Gen. Estes accepting the NOM
| nation as he was considered the strongest
| candidate that could be put forward. He
| is at present the chief of staff of the de-
\ partme0t.

the report of the second vice president,
Mrs. Brooks, were listened to with deep
interest and received with applause. Mrs.
Chase showed in a lengthy review of the

to the proportion that its fondest friends
had scarcely dreamed of, numbering now
about $50 members IN good standing. She
declared that the patriotic and relief work
of the department had never been more
faithfully attended to, and that in each
department surprisingly fine results had
obtained. At the close of the address or
the president Mrs. Oldroyd moved that the

mediately after hearing the report of the
second vice president Mrs. Brooks. A par
Elementary Skirmish followed, but the cam
paign committee won.
Mrs Brooks second vice president and
chairman of the relief committee of the
department, reported that through the de-
partment forty-four soldiers, widows and
