(Special.) The third day at Camp Sum mers has been a busy one, there being a regimental drill in addition to the other arills and rifle practice. Adjutant E. C. Mears says that the regimental drill this forenoon was tire best he ever saw per formed at any state encampment. Colo nel Gantenbein Is highly pleased by the way in which the members of the Guard are performing their duty, and for the courteous manner in which the superior officers are at all times recognized. Since the organization of the camp on Thursday, open camp has prevailed, and the Colonel hopes that the men will npt take too much advantage of this favor, so that it may remain open throughout the encampment. This is a favor which is not generally allowed at state encampments. Up to date only four privates have been placed in the guardhouse, and three of them were placed under arrest before the train left Portland Thursday. This fact alone denotes the exceptionally good be havior of the men. The entire camp has the appearance of being pitched upon a beautiful lawn, the short, soft grass remaining green, and the grounds being kept clean by the different companies and those who are dally ap pointed on fatigue duty. Company E, of Portland, especially 3eserves mention for the excellent condition in which it keeps Its streets. One of the intererting features of the en campment is the rifle practice, which takes place twice a day, each battalion having a day to itself. The ranges' vary from 1000 to COOO yards. Somo good records have been made. The targets are so arranged in the sides of the large sand hills that the bullets bury themselves deep in the sand, thus making target shooting perfect ly safe. The rations furnished the first two days were not entirely satisfactory to the com panies, but, now that the camp is thor oughly organized, better mess was served today. Company H is very boastful of its cook. Mr. White, who is usually first to have his mess ready. Mr. White is nearly 60 years of age, and was recently retired from the United States Army, and it is Interesting to know that he Is the man who sounded the charge at the famous battle of San Juan Hill In the recent war with Spain. He has the trumpet at Gear hart through which he blew the charge. Company K. formerly Company G, Cap tain Scott commanding. Is proud of its little mascot, Harry Grayson, who is only 9 years of ago. He enjoys himself run ning around the camp, watching the drills and riding horseback. The Colonel is taking all the precautions he can to prevent accidents while the members are bathing. A guard will be posted on the beach to keep every one from bathing except at the posted hours, and the guards will see that no one goes out behind tho end of the life line. 'There will be a dress parade Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, at which time tho regiment will be reviewed by General Summers. .The drill will bo greatly as sisted by" the United States Nineteenth In fantry Band, which arrived today. Next Wednesday the regiment will be reviewed by General Frederick Funston, commander of the Department of the Co lumbia, and his staff, and on Thursday afternoon Governor Chamberlain and staff, accompanied by Colonel Huston, com mander at Vancouver Barracks, and his staff will review the troops. The afternoon special from Portland brought a large crowd of friends and rela tives of the boys, ana the. Sunday morning train will bring in many more. Among the arrivals tonight was William L. Or mandy, who recently resigned his com mission as Second Lieutenant, Company H. He will remain at the camp until after Sunday. ON WAY BACK TO PASCO. McDonald Promptly Recogrnized by Sheriff am Hishvrayinnn. Frank. A. McDonald, the alleged high wayman of Pasco, Wash., who was ar rested at the mill of the Western Lum ber Company Friday, will start for the Washington town this evening, under the care of Sheriff J. D. Peck, who reached Portland last evening. The Sheriff of Pasco recognized Mc Donald the moment their eyes met. "Hullo. Frank," said the officer, but the man who was wanted lowered his head and pretended not to know his interlocu tor. He said, however, that he was willing to return without requisition papers. The crime for which McDonald was ar rested occurred August 9. An old Mexican who had just returned from the harvest fields with his pay was held up in the railroad yards of Pasco and. robbed of $70. The highwaymen wore no masks, and the victim had a good look at their features. He Identified two men, who are now under arrest In Pasco, as being among the three who robbed him. McDonald corresponded to the description of the other -man, but when search was made for him there was no McDonald in Pasco. A former resident of Pasco saw Mc Donald at the Barr Hotel, In this city, a few days ago, however, and notified the Sheriff, who had gone into the Palouso country on the hunt for his man. The Portland police were telegraphed Friday to arrest McDonald, and no"w he has been positively identified by Sheriff Peck as the man he Is after. The two men who were arrested at the time of the robbery refused to tell who was their accomplice. The man who is believed to be McDonald left town with the greater part of the booty, but, disap pointed though his comrades . in crime were, they were true to their colors and would not tell his name. The men now In jail are Pat Murray and John McAndrews. Murray is a gigantic timberjack. six feet eight inches In height. He was easily Identified. v- PERSONAL MENTION. W. R.
