MILITIA 15 READY TO ED
WILL - DEPART" FOR AMERICAN
LAKE MONDAY.
Third and Fourth Infantry Will
Have I -a rife Turnout and Only
Two Days of Rest.
Work of packing all tentage and
equlpaga of the Third Infantry for
shipment to American Lakt was com
pleted at the Armory yesterday after
noon, and the freight will be taken
to the depot this morning for shipment.
All Is now in readiness for departure
of the troops Monday morning. Re
ports from all outside stations indicate
readiness to start for Portland tomor
row. It is likewise shown that the
turnout will be larger than at any pre
vious m.ineuver period. There will be
between "no and S00 offleers and men
with the Third Infantry, and about 400
from the Fourth Regiment. Troops
from Southern Oregon will start for
Portland tomorrow night.
Every member of the field and staff,
with possibly one exception, will go out
with the Third Regiment. Colonel C.
K. McDonell. commanding, has urged
upon all his officers that the maneuver
work itf of the greatest Importance
and that all should attend regardless of
personal convenience. Colonel George
O. Yoran. of the Fourth Regiment, has
taken a similar stand, and gives assur
ance of a full attendance of officers.
Some of the Southern Oregon men will
be held back by harvesting work on
their farms, but this number Is com
paratively small.
Any' one who fancies for a moment
the Guard Is going off on an outing or
pleasure Jaunt has but to glance at the
programme in order to be undeceived.
Activity will begin - when the troops
reach the American Lake district. Mon
day, and will continue until they leave.
Payday and Sunday will be the solo
rest periods, and payday will be marked
with an abundance of wholesome
drilling.
Dally field maneuvers are provided In
the programme announced by Brigadier-General
Brush. U. S. A., command
ing the camp. This work will be taken
up Tuesday morning. The following
Monday the troops will be given a hard
day's march, followed by a night prob
lem. Bivouacked in the field, the regi
mental commanders wiii be required to
keep on the alert for an enemy of un
known strength, which wii. make an
attack during the night. Thin will be
the most trying and at the same time
moot interesting maneuver of the ten
days in the field.
Sixty-four men were detailed yester
day as a fatigue party to accompany
the regimental effects of the Third In
fantry. These men will accompany the
first section Monday morning to trans
fer the baggage and equipage to the
camp site.

childhood to old age without knowing
the taste of meat. They can never
hope to be able to buy it.
In Germany: The workingman thinks
himself lucky to eat beef once a week.
Fifty cents a pound is the price of fair
ly good cuts.
In France, Italy and Spain the larger
portion of the population live on cer

ury of the rich.
In Sweden. Norway and Denmarki
Meate are served on festive occasions
and holidays. Only the wealthy can
afford them often.
Throughout Great Britain and Ire

frightened at the recent raise In the
cost of meats. There is real suffering
on. account of it. Mr. Asqulth, the
Prime -Minister. Is Investigating the
manipulations of the Chicago Beef

And crossing the water to our own
country:
In New York the Beef Trust Is get
