HATIDNftL GUARD RETURNS
1XFAXTRY ORGANIZATIONS ARE
BACK FROM VACATION'.
Militiamen Are Bronzed and In Fine
Mettle After Twelve Days
of Camp Life.
The Infantry organizations of the Ore
Son National Guard, which have been,
participating in the American Lake en
campment for the past 12 days, returned
to their home stations yesterday. The
trip from Murray Station, Wash., was
made by special train, running in three
sections, over the "Northern Pacific. The
Portland companies came on the last
section, leaving Murray at 12:30 P. M.
and reaching Portland at 5:30. The out
side companies left on the first two sec
tions, leaving the maneuver grounds at
S:30 and 9:30 A. M. and reaching here In
time to make connections with outgoing
trains for home. The train service was
excellent, there being no long dela,ys
along the route.
A pleasant and uneventful trip is re
ported by officers and men. The militia
men were bronzed and in tine mettle after
their 12 days in camp, during which they
followed regular army routine and lived
like soldiers In the hold.
Camp was broken bright and early In
the morning. After the skirmishing of
Tuesday, in which the Oregon men made
an excellent showing when put to the
severe test of maneuvering alongside
regular, the guardsmen got everything
In reaulness to break camp. They were
up at daybreak yesterday and completed
the work in Bhort order.
At 7 o'clock A. M. camp was struck,
every tent coming down at once with
the last note of the "general" sounded
by the trumpeter of the guard. In a very
few minutes the camp had vanished as
by magic and lumbering freight wagons
were hauling the equipment and camp
baggage to the depot.
On the first section were the two Eu
gene companies, headquarters of the separate-battalion,
and the Albany, Salem
and Woodburn companies. The second
section conveyed infantrymen from Ash
land, Roseburg, Baker City. La Grande
and The Dalles. The five Portland com
panies and headquarters of the Third
Regiment came on the third section.
When the depot was reached all Portland
troops detrained promptly and marched
to the armory for dismissal. The outside
commands were held about the depot
awaiting train connections.
WILL WATCH SEWER WORK
Special Inspectors to Be Employed
by City on Brooklyn Project.
It is planned to have the work of
construction of the big Brooklyn dis
trict sewer supervised by several spe
cial sewer Inspectors. ' An ordinance
will probably be presented at the next
meeting of the Council to provide for
the appointment of these Inspectors.
The contract for the Brooklyn sewer
was let a few days ago to Paquet,
Gleblsch & Joplin. The Inspectors
now In the service have all the work
they can possibly attend to and it is
deemed wise to appoint special men
who may devote their entire time to
the work In hand.
HEAD OF SMELTER " TRUST
DANIEL GUGGENHEIM HERE ON
TOUR OF INSPECTION.
Has Just Returned From Alaska
With His Brother, Simon R. Gug
genheim, and Their AVives.
Daniel Guggenheim, of New York, pres
ident of the American Smelting & Re
fining Company, commonly known as the
smelter trust; president also of the Gug
genheim Exploration Company, as well as
of the American Smelting Securities Com
pany, accompanied by his brother, Simon
R. Guggenheim, member of the executive
committee of the American Smelting &
Refining Company, arrived in Portland
last night, accompanied by their wives
and a few friends. They came from the
Sound .and are on their way Bast after a
tour of inspection of the properties held
by the allied companies In Alaska.
"I really would have to stop and think
before answering," eaid Daniel Guggen
heim, whfen asked If bis companies have
interests In this state. "Have you any
mines here? If so, I suppose we are In
terested In Oregon, but I cannot answer
offhand. We hold properties all over the
West.
"Our trip is one of Inspection of our
properties. I am anxious to see more of
Portland, not having been here for three
years. We have Just been In Alaska for
some time, and we have determined to
build a railroad up Copper River to de
velop our mines in that district. Proper
ties in the Klondike and other sections
of Alaska will also be developed by our
companies.
"We will probably leave tomorrow night
for Salt Lake City. Tomorrow I expect
to look around Portland and see how the
city has grown during the past few
years."
Members of the Guggenheim family are
probably so rich that they really do not
know how much they own. They are
rated among the most wealthy people in
America. The father of the two members
of the family in Portland, Simon Guggen
heim, made his headquarters in Denver
and founded the family fortune. He de
clined the nomination for Governor of
Colorado when to accept would have
meant, election, on the Silver Republican
ticket.
In the party beside the two Guggenheim
families are J. M. Anderson, a capitalist
of Salt Lake City, and Mrs. H. S. Frank,
of New York. The party is accompanied
by Mr. Daniel Guggenheim's sec
retary, W. B. Bennett, and the ladles are
cared for by two maids. The party trav
els in a special car.
Legal Status of Mayor Valentine.
G. M. Hall. City Treasurer of St. Johns,
wants the legal status of Mayor Valen
tine settled one way or the other. If the
Mayor cannot legally hold both positions
Mr. Hall is anxious to know It, for the
reason he Is paying out hundreds of dol
lars of the city's hard cash on warrants
signed by Mayor Valentine. Mr. Hall is
under bonds to the amount of $10,000, and
he naturally wants to know whether the
warrants are legal. He has Intimated
that he will cease paying out cash until
the legal status of the Mayor is settled.

God's Church Begins
Campmeeting
Peculiar Sect Without dwd or Or
ftranliatlon - Whose Preachers
Speak: by Divine Inspiration.
FIRST services-of the 11th annual camp
meeting of God's Church were held
last evening In the tabernacle on Bast
Tenth and Bast Madison streets, Haw
thorne Park. This campmeeting will be
attended by adherents of this peculiar
faith from Oregon, Washington and
Idaho, and will continue until September
1. Services for each day will be as fol
lows: Family worship between 6 and 7
A. M.; children's instruction, 9 A. M.;
regular preaching services. 10 A. M., 2 P.
M. and 7:30 P. M. Elders J. C. Pederman,
James Bamford. John Gellspie, EL W.
Greeley, O. A. Chaplain and wife, J. L.
Green, Miss Nettie Field, G. T. Neal and,
others will be present.
This is a church without a creed of any
sort, the Bible being Its only guide. It
has no organization or membership roll.
Its preachers never preach until they are
Inspired to talk by the Divine Spirit. Dur
ing the progress of this campmeeting the
speakers will not be announced in ad
vance, because it will not be known who
will address the meeting until, according
to the teachings of God's Church, the
speaker is Inspired to talk.
When the meetings open the various
elders will be seated on the platform.
The muslo will progress up to the time
when the sermon Is to be delivered. Not
even the Bible will be opened on the altar,
but Instantly, at the close of the musical ,
exercises, an elder receives Inspiration,
and, going to the altar, opens the Bible
and reads his text and starts his sermon.
In all this there Is no confusion or de
lays. The tents are springing up on the
grounds. Families are coming from a
distance, and will live on the ground.
Finances are not considered. Everything
Is free. "The Lord provides," they say,
"and why should we worry? We always
have plenty." Elder Neal invites the pub
lic to these meetings, and urges parents
of children to attend the 9 A. M. gather
ing for the Instruction of children in the
Bible.
ROBBER IS TWICE FOILED
Scared From Residence After Futile
Assault on Owner.
A daring attempt at burglary was made
at 307 Seventeenth street, the home of
R. H. Hover, about 9:30 o'clock last night.
Mr. Hover had Just returned home from
a drive, and while tying his horse in the
barn a man struck at him with a club
or a gun, but missed him.
Mr. Hover at once started for the police
station to report the attack, and while
gone his assailant climbed through a side
window into the kitchen of the Hover
residence. There were two women in the
honse. who. hearing the intruder striking
matches, screamed and attracted assist
ance, but the would-be burglar escaped.
Mrs. Carlson, of 627 Sixteenth street, saw
a man leap over her fence and run down
Sixteenth street at about the time the
burglar left the Hover home.
Mr. Hover was supposed to have con
siderable money about him, but It chanced
to be in the form of-a draft, so nothing
would have been secured nad the attack
been successful.
Natural Ice Deposit Is
Found on Island
People AJonar Columbia Get Frre
Supply from Body of Land la
River Opposite Latourell.
PORTLAND, Aug. 22. (To the Editor.)
In reference to the account in this
morning's Oregonlan of an Ice mine near
Spokane, may I call your attention to a
similar ice mine in the Columbia River?
It seems to cover a large part of an
island opposite Latourell. The residents
of this part of Oregon have, for ten years,
to my knowledge, been accustomed to
getting their ice from this mine all dur
ing the Summer, for making Ice-cream
and frozen dishes. They row across to
the island In a small boat, dig below the
sandy surface, and throw out great
spadesful of the ice, which they load into
gunny bags and carry back to their
homes. No one In particular seems to
own the Island or have charge of the ice
mine. It Is free to all comers. Naturally,
the ics Is not clear, being mixed with
sand and gravel, and more of the con
sistency of frozen snow than of ice.
When the river Is high, the Island Is
partly submerged with water, but this
condition does not seem to affect the ice.
How deep it is I have no idea, as no one
has attempted to sound it.
The question is. How did it get there,
what keeps it from melting, and why
hasn't some one made commercial use of
this natural deposit?
