JJpon the vote cast in June for the
bill apprepriating 100000 for the
building on armories for the o. N. g.
companies outside of Portland de-
pends Pendleton's chances for Sc
curing such a building. 1t Is prac-

in favor of the appropriation is now
on.
At the national guard meeting just
held in Portland the executive COM
m ttee was authorized to take steps
10 let the voters of the state know
the real needs OF the guard and 1t is
firmly believed by all guardsmen that
when the situation is known there
will be few opposing votes.
There are two invincible argu-
ments in favor of the armory bill,
One is that II the state Is to maintain
a guard, as It now must do more than
ever in the past, 1t must provide ac-
commodations for the men. Guards
men, officers and enlisted men alike,
devote their time and energy to the
public service without pay, except at
encampments, and it is but fair that
in return the guard should be de-
Gently equipped.
The other argument is that 1t is
cheaper for the state to own its ar

thousands of dollars annually.

A BIG STOCK ISSUE.
Canadian Pacific Provides for Build
ing Line Into Seattle.

Montreal, Dec. 3O--A special
meeting Of Canadian Pacific share
holders was held here today to au-
thorize an issue Of s2S 1900 addi-
tlonal stock, which will be offered to
the stockholders at par. The author
iZation Of the sale OF this stock at
the present time is in keeping with
the policy of the road in providing
for its requirements ahead, and at
the same time to give each year to
its stockholders the right to subscribe
to new stock upon terms which offer
ed the equivalent Of an extra divi-
dend.
1t is believed that the proceeds OF
the new issue will be used for build
ing a line into Seattle, where the road
will come into direct competition with
with the Hill system. The construc-
ton of the new line has been defer
red on account of the practical i'm
possibility Of raising money for i'm
provements, either in New York or
London. The Canadian Pacific al
ready controls the Spokane Interna-
tional, giving it entrance into Spo-
kane, and the construction Of a road
to Seattle would make 1t direct COM
petitor of the Hill roads in the north
west portion of the United States.
The $2S.320,OOO common stock
authorized is a part of the 100000
600 new stock that was voted last
March, and which amount brought
the authorized capital Of the Canadian
Pacific up to s15O,OOo,OOO.

ago by shooting one of his country
men through the arm in a drunken
row. entered a plea of guilty in the
circuit court yesterday. The origi-

kill was changed to that of assault
with dangerous weapon and the
sentence imposed was that of one
year in the pententiary For sew
eral days he has been impatient with
Jail confinement and has expressed
the desire to go to the pen. His idea
is that If he stays in Jail with no
work or exercise it will not be long
until his health will be undermined
and death will be his only fate. He

out in favor of the armory bill with

bility that. the state will shortly be
called upon to send its guard, and

Is a firm conviction that a war with
Japan is not far distant, though they
discuss the subject with caution. At
the recent meeting in Portland an
address was given by Captain Taylor
Of the 14th infantry, in which the
latter pointed out reasons that will
make a struggle almost invitable.
Actions Of the war department also
indicate that the government is pre-
pairing for a possible conflict. Or
ders have already been given for u.s.
ing all the guards of the coast states
in coast defense work and the en-
campments next summer will be
similar to those last year.
In an address at Portland Friday
Major Hawthorne of the artillery
force at Fort Stevens, dwelt upon
the need of coast defense training
by the guard and held that all or part
of the Oregon brigade should again
be stationed at the forts at the Co.
lumbia's mouth. BY training the
guardsmen in the use Of the big bat
teries within the forts the war de-
partment intends to provide a de-
fense against possible attack from
an oriental foe.
