v r -J 12 MAJ. FRED B. WOOD, AUSTIN. Second Regiment, President. MEETING OF M Ml. Rational Guajd Officers of State to Hold Annual Convention Sat- Problems of Importance to the Min- urday, Dec. 27. nesota Guard Wil l Come Tip for Discussion. Pursuant to a call by the commander in-chief, the twenty-third annual meet ing of the Minnesota National Guard as sociation will be held in' the-senate cham ber of the. capitol. in St. Paul. Saturday. Dec. 27. at 10 a. m. This association is composed entirely of the officers of the national guard, and the meetings are held each year to e.llow the members to be - come better acquainted and to discuss matters of importance concerning their "Work. The first meeting was held in' New Ulm - ' in 1880, when Colonel Joseph Bob leter. commanding the Second regiment, was chosen president. H e served for three years. General William B. Bend was the next president, and. he held the position for five years. Since then the office has been filled by different men almost each year. The committee on legislation, composed of the adjutant general, the brigade com mander, the colonels of the three in fantry regiments, the commander of the batalion of artillery and the medical di rector, has already held two. meetings, but has not fully determined on the legis lation that will be recommended- . Th e committee will hold another meeting in St- Paul Friday evening. Dee. 26. Major George C. Lambert- is, chairman of the committee, and has been indefatigable in his labors for the past 5'ear,. and has found .'it necessary to call the committee, together- several times in reference to, the.Dick bill, which has been' in. the United States senate, where amendments were reattached that were detrimental to its best interests. Through Major Lam bert's great interest' in this bill-it has been possible for the committee to sug gest, further amendments and" changed that'makeI .the- bill more acceptable. Th e major has received.. many letters from various parts of the United. States ap proving his course. The Minnesota Na tional Guard association \HT1 receive credit for the successful amendment's.

It is also probable - that the committee will recommend an increase in $h(? annualV appropriation for. the purpose of ing the camp grounds at Lake City, and providing for camps of instruction in ad - vanced rifle, practice. [t is not iikeiy thai any reference will be made to the new uniform, as it.is now. more than probable that the one reconi- mended for the regular army will never adopted. The question of continuing .the annual inspection at camp will be warmly dis cussed, as it is understood that the Sec ond and Third regiments favor the plan, and that the First regiment is opposed to it. It has one great advantage, and that is in placing the compknles on an equal ity a.s'.to . maneuvering-""grounds. The country companies.mostly:have small drill floors, where it is . impossible . to gain that excellence that, is Accessary to bring up their general- averages. Th e city com panies hare large drill "floors and can, naturally, make a much better showing. The,camp plan makes it compulsory for each company in the state to use the same ground. Th e opponents to the plan say that the annual encampments are for pur poses of, advanced instruction in bat talion and regimental drill and that all the time possible should be given to that work. Each company is naturally anxious to make a good showing :on inspection and until that ceremony is oVer gives little attention to the field work.

This local interest is a large one.: One of the richest and Biggest eonces-. siohs ever held by foreigners in the South American republic is what is known sis the Orinoco concession, long controlled by Minnesptans with the headquarters of the company at Faribault. Among the directors ,w ere Donald Grant, the we'll-' knowh railway contractor and capitalist, .and T,'Bt-Clement, president of the First National'Bank of Faribault. A few months ago, however, the big concession changed hands, being transferred to a powerful Canadian syndicate, the Mackenzie-Mann firm of Toronto. - . , ',.' Thus it passed from the Amercan to the :Brifish ag.-fiand..to-day it" figures largely as an inciden leading to the naval demonstration- being made- by European fleets at L a Guaira. Concerning this great enterprise T'.h e J p u.r n a 1 pub lished-several exclusive stories "in the-past four ..years.- '- '" ': Th e Orinoco concession, is an- A^nerican and Minnesotan enterprise. It s former, holders, were obliged to fight continually for its,possession and both in native law courts and with guns were: ever standing for their rights. Petty law suits in Verjez zueia were long drawn out and. were punctuated by the clashing of armed gangs, the employees of the different claimant's to this" princely tract. /\VVi/ The right and title to this property having been successfully, maintained -it has now been sold to, foreigners-and. thi, chance to deevlop its 'immense resource's is being made by British - fleets. An d so the claims'of the Orinoco company -of Faribault will fir.d a place among the? fe mands of a European - powerand may Sbe enforced by British arms- - -S !'-.::-: u ' from the dispute as to what hag flies oy^r the little island of Patos the Orinoco.Xiohr cession including as it-doe^ S'l&rgt' seg-j lion of the Barima! gold fteldW the rich.^t diggings in the world, so it is said, are worth a war to British:and flhancift! ieyesV Reads Like a Fairy ^Faie.

The story .P,f the Orinoco concession, its acquisition ^b y some enterprising Americans ,an"aits untold wealth, runs 'like a neastcry'fairy tale.

Th e action of the president of .that association in allowing: the war departme nt to dictate- changes in" the Dick bill that were defeated in'the con vention, have greatly injured the stand ing of the association.
