NEW BERRY RECORD L MEN ARE ELATED GUARDSMEN TELL OF HARDSHIPS AND HOW "ENEMY" WAS SURPRISED LONG MARCHES ARE EASILY HADE Oregon City Boys Aid In Saving Red Arm"By Arriving With Plenty Ammunition Company L. Oregon Natlonar Guard, after having done valiant work at part of the victorious Invading army In the maneuvers In Washington, re turned lo Oregon City Monday after noon. The men were sunburned and somewhat footsore, but every man de clared that be could Imedlately par ticipate In another campaign, and would be glad of an opportunity to do so. The Oregon City boys distinguish ed themselves throughout tbe maneu vers. Captain K. L. illancbard and W. 1L Logu complimented the members of tbe company highly, and declared it was remarkable that men who bad been used to so little outdoor life, could stand the hardships of tbe cam paign. Tbe company, composed of forty two oflcers and men left this city Ju ly 20, arriving at Montesano, Wash., where It camped that night. The next day tbe company marched to Elmo, a distance of eleven miles, and on the third day reached Oakvlllo. The Ore gon City men bad previously become s part of the Red Army .which was to try to take possession of Gray's Har bor, which Is not fortified, the object being to show that an enemy could land troops and by clever maneuver ing probably capture Seattle and To enma. The enemy was located be tween Oakvlllo and Gates, and troops were sent to intercept it Colonel Kenyon was In command of tbe in vading army which was composed of the Oregon National Guard, the Twenty-Fifth United States iLfantry .two tnaips of cavalry and two batteries of artillery. Company L was In the detui-hinent tbe first day of tbe battle that won a signal victory. Bridges having been blown up by the enemy. It was decided tbe best way to strike a telling blow would be to surprise the enemy in the rear. Natives said it would be impossible for tbe men to cross a bigb range of bills thickly wooded, but tbe battalion made the trip in one hour and ten minutes and surprised the Blue Army 'while It was st breakfast. The rout was complete. In order to make tbe hazardous trip tbe men started at 3 o'clock In tbe morning aud fell upon tbe foe Just at day break. The second day of fighting the Ore gon City men crossed Black river three times, transporting their ammunition across in canoes. They reached a detachment that bad gone ahead Just In time to furnish am munition . WELL KNOWN HERE Captain Harry T. Williams, of one of the companies of the Third Oregon Regiment in tbe Second Battalion, who refused to march back five miles after "war" was declared over Sunday, and, as a result may be court'mar- tlaled, is manager of tbe Gladstone Lumber Company and well-known In Oregon City. He was one of tbe di vision commanders in tbe recent pa rade of the Elks In Portland, and has been regarded as one of the most ca pable men in the national guard in this state. All during the military movements the Oregon troops bad worked hard. and It was not until the "war" was ov er that the disagreement arose. The Oregonians were attached to the vic torious Red Army, and they claim that during the maneuvers, they covered approximately 60 miles, while another report says it is only 30 miles, where as the Blue Army moved about 20 miles. Saturday morning the Oregon-1 lans were up at 3:30 leaving Oakvllle to march to Gate. The battalion now in trouble bad to ford Black river three times in water up to the waist, carry ing equipment They bad to climb mountains and go through heavy tim ber and thick underbrush. Before the troops reached date the movement ceased, and the Oregonians were or- derd to retreat to Oakvllle. Sunday morning another early start was made the battalion again being headed for Gate, and they went beyond that plnce, driving the Blue Army before them. Then the Summer tactics clos ed, i Loaded with heavy equipment, the Second battalion expected to go Into camp at Gate and entrain. General Mnus. however, ordered them to walk back to Oakvlll to get the train in stead of waiting for the train to meet tbe marchers at Gate.. Two battalions started to return, ai ordered, but the one w hich had struggled In the waters of Black River and through the un derbrush In the Umber, protested. It was a hot day. GUARDSMAN JAILED David LaCure, a member of Comp any E, Portland, was arrested Monday afternoon upon his arrival with tbe troops from the maneuvers In Wash ington, on a warrant sworn out by bis wife, charging non-support The ar rest was made by a Portland police man upon the request of Sheriff Mass. Sheriff Mass brought the man to this city and locked him up in the county Jail. LaCure told a story that aroused some smypathy for him. He said that he had been 111 for sometime, and that even while in that condition he had worked earning $1 a day. He has three children. He will be given a bearing before County Judge Beatie. Couple Gets License A license to marry was issued Mon day to Florence E. Howard and Harry COMPANY e t nwi, 01 noaa luver. PARTY 35 A crawfishing party left thl city early Thursday morning, the destina tion being lllglow's Mill on the Ab ernethy. Thirty-five dozen of the fin est crHwfHsh that have been caught from that stream was the reault of the day's sport. All tbe "catcu" but about two dozen, was eaten by tho party be for ret irning to their bo;ms In '.his city. 1hj fvo dozen wen brought to K. L. JohrHcn, who did n it go on the trip. K. .).

Tbe ordinance prohibits tbe running of horses, sheep, swine, goats, etc., at large and provides that cows must be kept in enclosures at night Cowl may graze from 6 o'clock in the morn ing until 8 o'clock In tbe evening. An ordinance providing that thistles and other obnoxious plants shall be re moved from tbe streets snd vacant lots has been passed and will become effective at ouce. E PORTLAND, July 27, (Special.) Practical co-operation with the farm er by tbe banking Interests has prov ed successful at Bend, Oregon, where C. S. Hudson, cashier of tbe First Na tional bank at tbat place, bas greatly encouraged the hog raising industry. It seems tbe plan was originated by him and it Is growing In favor in many parts of the country. Mr. Hudson be lieved that the country around Bend was a good one for bog raising, ar ranged for tbe shipment of a carload nt well bred sows from the Middle West distributed them to farmers in tho vicinity of Bend and took thelg notes in payment, these notes to ruu for one year. The first year of this experiment bas now passed, and Mr. Hudson Is very much encouraged. In a letter Just received by D. O. Lively, vice- president of the Portland Union Stock yards Company, Mr. Hudson says: "I am glad to advise you that the bogs will prove to be a very profitable Investment for the people who pur chased them. I have bad a report from each man, and taking the two litters of pigs from each sow I be lieve they will average a profit of 100 per cent a piece or more. In two or three cases I know they made as much as 200 per 'cent" Potato crop conditions in some parts of Southern California, according to reports that have come in within the past few days, are rather unsatisfact ory. In the Lompoc district, and In the Snlinas section as well, It Is said, that unusually dry and hot weather for some weeks past bas brought about a condition that promises to re sult in a serious curtailment of the late crop. Vine growth In many of the fields is reported to have practic ally come to a standstill .and in some cases tbe vines are said to be drying up. It Is of course possible that the con ditions as reported there have been overdrawn, but in the past there have been seasons of partiul crop failure in Southern California, and there should be nothing surprising In a re currence of that situation once In a while. In the event of a seriously short yield In the southern part of that state the market for 1912 Ore gons would of course be Improved to thnt extent and the potato market outlook Just now Is one of decided In terest to the growers of this state. On the whole tbe prospect now Is for a comparatively easy market, at least at the opening of the crop-moving season. In the Stockton and oth er California potato-growering district where Immense crops are harvested every year and where the acreage In potatoes has been Bteadily Increasing in recent years, conditions are under stood to be generally favorable. For the State ot Oregon as a whole the situation Is the same, everything now indicating one of the bigge3t potato crops ever harvested In this state. From a number ot other states come similarly favorable reports, so that the outlook in the Western States at least is for a potato output materially greater than that of 191L In this state there Is yet time for ad verse developments, for the late plantings are not yet far enough along to make a full yield a certainty, but the rains that have fallen this month have given the vines In fields west of the Cascades the best kind of a start and east of the mountains also weath er conditions to date have on the whole been favorable. The early crop in this state .which is now be ing gathered. Is a large one and gen erally shows excellent quality To the trade new potatoes now are selling at prices around $1 a hundred We Guarantee Every Box of Dr. Pell's Antiseptic Salve to do what we claim.

TO BE AHEAD OF 1911 The must liberal estimates that un prejudiced bop crop estimators fall to give the American crop for 1912 at more than 2.1S,000 bales, compared with 211,000 bules in 1911. The In crease will be practically confined to Oregon and Washington, while tbe crops In New York and California are estimated at about the sume as a your ago. There bas been considerable activi ty In hop contracts during the past few days, and some business bus pass ed In Washington and California. In the latter section. Wolf Sc Netterhave purchased a big bunch of Honomas at 21c and Uiat price Is laid to be freel. offered In the same district. A lot of about 100 bules of mils Is reported sold to Dunlvan by Cunningham at 22c. Tbe qualtty la said to be very poor. In Portland fully 2000 bales have been contracted for at 201c to 21Jca po:nd since Monday. Within 48 hours 500 bales were taken around 20J &21e a pound. In Washington a small amount of business has passed during the past 48 hours at 21c for contracts. While lice are still bothering grow ers In England, continental crop ad vices are generally favorable. It Is noted that the principal activi ty In the trade along the coast recent ly has been for the account of short sellers, who are seemingly afraid of their own shadow. SPUDS ARE LOWEST YYEAI The potato market is the lowest for many years at this period. With a record beraklng crop In sight and with Initial offerings unusually heavy, re ceivers are finding much difficulty In getting from under tbe avalanche of offerings that are at present avail able. With nearby producers peddling their offerings direct to tbe retail trade, there is not much left for tbe commission men. On top of this there is an Inclination on every side for farmers to let go of their suplles at whatever price Is available There la no holding tendency at all .
