PORTLAND, Aug. 17. Two can didates loomed up on'the horizon to day for commander in chief of the Grand Army as tho encampment delegates continued to arrive here in large numbers, these gentlemen be ing C. E. Adams, of Nebraska, and Fred H. Hurd, of Seattle. For presi dent of the Woman's Relief Corps there are also two likely candidates already in the field, Mrs. Eliza Brown Daggett, of Attleboro, Mass., and Mrs. Harriett Hendee, of Port land. All Incoming ' trains - today brought many delegates and the at tendance at the gathering of old vet erans Is going to be a llg one. ' . Streets that within the year have rocked to cheers which ' sped the khaki-clad troops to France now wit ness the passage of the once famil iar blue, says this morning's Oregon Ian. To right and left, wherever one glances, there Is the gilt hat-cord and the bronze medal. . In steadily increasing numbers the veterans en tered the city yesterday. Today and tomorrow they will come by thou-j sands, for Monday (marks the first day of the 52nd encampment. p Last night estimates placed the ! number ot Grand Army delegates at 1000, with every one of them housed and happy. Today the number will have trebled. In even greater num oers will come the members of pat riotic auxiliaries the Woman's Re lief Corps, the Daughters of Veter ans and the Ladies of the Grand ..rray. - Portland is awakening to the fact that the highest honor ever paid to an American city's hospitality is at hand. . For -the suitable decking of the streets and business houses with, flags, bunting and emblems, Mayor, Baker has issued a call to all citi zens to bear their part In the decora tive program without further delay. He 'has called for the display of the American colors and -the likenesses of our three great war presidents Washington, Lincoln - and Wilson. Secretary McCrlllis, of the citizens' committee, urges the liberal showing oi the welcome cards to be had! at Liberty Temple. In testimony of the city's regard for its guests, Mayor Baker and the city coluncilmen palS their official visit yesterday to Orlando A. Somers, commander-in-chief, and to his staff, as well as to the national presidents of the Women's Relief Corps and oth er auxiliaries. The mayor made them welcome to the city and assured them that (their lightest wiBh has the weight of an enacted ordinance. Another of the official family of the Grand Army is now in the city In the person of George A. Hosley, chief of staff, who arrived from Bos ton accompanied by Mrs. Hosley. Yes terday Mr. Hosley reviewed the pa rade planB and route of march with W. J. ' Hofmann, of the parade com mittee, and sanctioned the arrange ments of Tuesday's patriotic pageant, wihich he will direct. ' Few there are of the veterans who have not stories of exceptional Inter est for that is the way with men who have written history with the swing of the saber or the point of a bayonet. Chief of Staff Hosley, with a war record to occasion pride, would seem to have had his lot cost in the valley of adventure, for he waa one of the party which sought for Living stone, lost in the dark tangle of Af rica, and brought back the word that the explorer was alive and waiting rescue. At the Multnomah hotel last night the first of many functions of honor was held, when Commander Somers and his staff, with the national presi dents of the auxiliaries, were enter tained at dinner by General Charles F. Beebe and Frank McCrtlls, chair man and secretary of the citizens' committee, afterward attending the Heilig as guests of the management, Within the next few days thous ands of Portland folk should wear tho white badge which reads: "May I help you, visitor? I Jive here." It has been planned to make each citi zen a member of the Information committee, and all are urged to get the badges at Liberty Temple. Mr. and Mrs. Roland A gee return ed last evening from a two weeks' outing at Newport. They report a very enjoyable vacation and .state 'Newport la extremely .lively this season, the spruce industry of that section employing a great many men, while those enjoying a recrea tion are quite numerous. Since the first of the year, the records-at the eounty clerk's office show that 1006 hunting and fishing licenses have been Issued in Douglas county, ag- gregatlng $1737 in license fees. With, the exception of tlvs per cent of this amount, which the county receives, these fees are turned over to the state game commission. The above figures do not Include the licenses is- sued by deputies outsido the clerk's office since- August 1. V I 1, MUST lU'XSISTEIt AUGUST 84. ., - All male persons who have reached their 21st birthday since June fi, 1918, and on or before ugust 24. 1918, must register on August 24, 1918. These men shouldl consult with local draft 'boards as to how and when they should reg- ister. : - ;i. ' - in HO, MY.COOS BAY As a result: of a ;vlslt of 12 dele gates of the Seventh Day Adventists church here, headed by president of the conference, Elder J. A. Rippey, there has started on Coos river near the forks, a -training school which It is honedl -will be ready to receive students by the next term, says the Marshneld Record. Possession of 600 acres of fertile land has been obtain ed, 120 of which is bottom land and in cultivation. Practically all of the land will be cultivated, those students wishing to make their way through the Bchool doing the work as far as possible.. - Twelve grades will be taught in the academy and trades will be taught in addition to the regular school texts, electrical and mechanical engineering, domestic sci ence and agriculture andl probably others. Bible teaching will be a fea ture of the sohool and while the rules of the school must be obeyed, said Mr. Rippey the creed will not be en forced. A dormitory is to be built which will accommodate 50 students with dining and recreation halls and modern conveniences. Garden truck, will be raised exten sively, ; dairying , will be a feature and! one of the' sources or revenue for the sohool. It is hoped to sup ply the Marshfield market with gar den truck, from which It 'has been estimated $10,000 yearly can , be realized. ' The school Is to embrace a terri tory of eight counties of southern Oregon. Xne of the objects of the school is to enroll students who, -through lock of opportunity or other reason pre behind in the grades. It will be the object of the school to assist these students in every man ner. According to ipTesont plans a stnff of about six teactherB will be employ ed. Plans for the preliminary pre parations of buildingB are now under way. . ' WARNING IS ISSUED TO MALE ALIEN ENEMIES County Attorney George Neuner has issued a warning to every male alien enemy over the age of 14 years to surrender all Are arms and ex plosives and to thereafter register, in conformity; with a proclamation issued by the president of the TJnit edl States. It has been reported that some alien enemies are 'hunting and In such cases they will, when detect ed, have their Are aTms confiscated and be subject to internment during the period of the war. . FORTY OLD SOLDIERS TO ATTEND ENCAMPMENT Thirty furloughs have already been granted to members of the Oregon soldiers' home, who have gone to attend the national encamp ment of the Grand Army of the Re public in Portland next week. Fully ten more of the old- soldiers will leave Sunday to be present at th big meeting. PHOTOGRAPHING ORCHARDS J. H. Clark, of Clark & Clark's studio, acconvpnnled the fruit men on their tour of the county Thursday and Friday and Becured some fine groups of Douglas county orchards which will later be used in a special article devoted to the fruit Industry of this county. - .MANY LICENSES SOLD," E Big Delegation Motor Through Rich Section Southern ; Part of County. .. IT IB A GREAT ASSET College People and County Inspector and Agents Give Growers Much Valuable AJdl In Demon- -strations Held. The excursion of fruit growers to the prune orchard districts of south ern Douglas county, Friday, like the Apple men's trip of Thursday, proved most Interesting and instructive. The trip Mp the South Umpqua river led through a great natural park, fresh ened and beautified by the rains of Thursday, and was exhllerattng to a great degree. Canyonville, famous In the early days us a mining town and stage station for the Oregon California stage line, is a quiet little burg these prosaic day, but Its Inter esting history is still fresh In the minds of many people, andl the days of placer mining and road agent ex ploits made the Canyonville district dreaded In the sixties, but new tho thrifty prune grower has given the locality another sort of recitation, and fine orchards and commodious houseB testify to the wealth being iplacered there in these modern times. .' . Leaving Roseburg, Myrtle Creek, the first stop, found a large delega tion awaiting arrival of the college men and county Inspectors. A visit to the Hall orchard, just at the out- skints of Myrtle Creek, wns made. Here an oldl orchard that was plant ed more than 42 years ago, proved oi more tr.in usual interest, on ac count of presence of heart rot in very many of the trees. This mag nificent old -p'.nino orchard had not been properly cared for in pruning and In the woundn made 'heart rot had gotten in Its work, and was not detected for peril.-ps many yearns. This orchard was a model of per fect cultivation, the trees were In full fruit, but on account of the heart rot. It Is probable that Its great useful ness has passed. Prof. Brown inomlretl of Judge Ridklle as to the history of the or chard;. The Judge said that In the seventies a man selling art evaporat ing device came alone and induced some of the pioneers to'" set out prunes. The Hall orchard was one of them. Later, these men thought they had been bilked, but the trees finally came Into bearing, and then the dis covery was made that prunes were oil right. In 1888 many other farmers on the South Umpnua set out prunes. and in this way the great prune In dustry of the Uirtpqua valley got Its start. Prof. BarsB then made a short. nlbhv talk on the subject of heart rot In old trees. An old stump of a big prune tree that had perished from heart rot made an excellent object lesson for the professor's remarks. He asserted that probably most of the trees In the orchard were affect ed by heart rot, which he character ized as one of the worst enemies the fruit growers have to contend with. The lecturer went Into details of pruning and treatment of wounds In order to protect the trees from rot. He urged growers to use a poison ous paste over the cut surfaces to keep out fungi. The formula for this will be furnished by the col lege, and the county fruit inspectors will aid growers In this. Important work. : Prof. C. I. Lewis spoke along lines of desirable varieties, and stated there are two or three sorts, but urg ed planting of the French potitcs, In preference to other petite prunes, and Bald the river bottom lands are pe culiarly adapted to petite prunes. The Dement orchard was visited, . and some bad pruning demonstrated. Arriving at Canyonville shortly aft- cd 12 o'clock, the excursionists, who had been reinforced by a large con tingent of growers joined tho party, and about 24 or 25 auto loads of (oople assembled at the grovo on Canyon- creek for lunch. This Important work out - of tho way, Prof. Lewis took 30 minutes for discussing various phases of fruit in dustry in the county, Including prun ing, cause of failure of trees to prop erly fruit, and his interesting ad dress was listened to with intense eagerness by tho hlundted persons present. Prof. Bares took the time follow ing to talk about brown rot. The present damp weathor conditions was said to be favorable to the rot. He said he had picked a "mummy" In one of the orchards at Myrtle Creek and it had brown rot infection, and was capable of Infecting much other fruit. Prof; Barss described the appear ance of dry rot In Its first stages. It is caused by fungus carried in one way and another to near by fruit. It generally starts with a sort of mold and gradually envelops the whole fruit. Rapid lnreotion occurs as the fruit neara maturity, andi damp weather conditions at this period In creases the liability. Understanding these conditions, we want to know what will check the dtBease. Pruning, so as to let in sunlight, will help materially in eradicating brown rot. Thick, heavy foliage prevents rapid evaportation of moisture, and this will bring trouble. Where . fruit touches, alBo produces danger. Cultivation, as early as possible, when the Boll may be full of spores. Is a good way to help in checking rot. Keeping tho trees free of infected fruit, Is one more good system, but "mummies' and affected fruit should not be allowed to remain on the ground in the orchard, as they con tinue to breed! spores. Careful spraying a month before fruit ripens, reduces losses more than one half. Several sprays may some times be used, but good judgment must be allowed to govern in the matter. Bordeaux is an effective spray,' never Injuring the fruit or foliage. But something is needed to asBlst the Bordeaux In spreading. Whale oil soap Is desirable. The col lege uses rosin-fish oil, and lye, boiled up together, coats the fruit. - This formula can be had from the col lege. Authorities cannot guarantee perfect control of brown rot, but all these processes luirgely loauea dan ger of rot. In answer to a question, Prof. Barss said "mummies" should not be left on the ground. One man said hogs would remove the fallen prunes. J. H. Booth alleged sheep would do better work, and T. B. Busenbark stated he hod? found a bunch of calves' to be excellent agents In keep ing prunes "picked up." The prune borer problem was brought up by Inspector Pearcy, who asked Prof. Lovett to talk about It. Indiscriminate cutting to remove borers Ib about as bad as the peat ltseir, said Prof. Lovett. ThlB in sect attacks the tree Just at the ground line, .as a rule, but some times go higher. The Insect deposits its eggs on tho limbs or foliage, but generally on the trunk. They hatch in a couple of weeks, then got busy, travelling downward, and a few of them will soon destroy a , young tree. Borers probably cause a loss of approximately ten per cent of the prune crop. Considering tile mag nitude of this Industry, this is no small duin. Two treatments of as phaltum were applied hot and' It Is found that this Is not doing any good. Different troalincntB have been tried. Hut these aro all as yet in the ex perimental stago. ' , ' Th Knight petite prune orchard, four miles east of Canyonville, on the Tiller road, Is the only .one of commercial importance mat is , un der irrigation. The property was run down and the prune treos not bearing to an extent making picking worth while. Using a gas tractor for power Mr. 'Knight Inaugurated a sys tem of . irrigation. - The rosult is marvolous. This yonr there Is a fine crop ot fine large petltes, and the fruit Is not dropping to any extent, showing the value water Iisb produc ed. From a worthless orchard, Mr. Knight has produced a condition that brings him a handsome revenue. The demonstration proves the worth of sufficient moisture and the possibili ties awaiting growers in the Ump qua valley who avail themselves of tho abundance of water going to wuBte in the river channels of this county. Tho demonstration at the Knight farm ended with Inspection of the pumping plant. A big six Inch cen trifugal pump, with a capacity of 500,000 gallons In ton hours, which Is sufficient to irrigate at least 50 acres. From tho Knight ranch to Riddle probably 12 .miles, the excursion made the run by 6:15, where an in spection of Judge Riddle's modern dryer was made. This establishment is complete In every detail, with lat est grader and spreader, which auto matically washes the prunes and grades them ready for tho trays. Threo men are required to keep this machine running to capacity. The trip back to Roseburg was made from Kiddle along the South Umpqua river and through tho fam ous Missouri bottoms, where there are somo of tho finest prune orchards In the state--orohards which have made their owners wealthy, and evi dencing the fact that the prune Indus try is one of the groatest Importance to this county. Yet the limltloss acreage of young trees not yet In bearing, and tho largo plantlngF which are contemplated, aro demon strating that pruno growing in Doug las county Is yet In its Infancy, and the Industry will Increase with leapf. and boundB. Of course there will be pests to contend) with, but coupled with Intelligent effort and profiting by tho experiences of those who have pioneered the business, tho -humble pruno is destined to add untold wealth to growers In this Bectlon of Oregon, where it thrives to better ad vantage than In most any other part of the state. Among those taking part In the prune growers excursion yesterday were Prof. W. S. Brown, Prof. H. P. Barss, Prof. C. I. Lewis, and Prof. A. L. Lovett, of the O. A. C. Then there were County Agents C. J. Hurd, of Douglas; C, C. Cate, of Jackson, and Thompson, of- Josephine. Fruit Inspector Earl Pearcy, originator of the demonstration Idea and chief pro moter of the excursion, was the guid ing spirit in tho trip of Friday, .

A CHAUTEAU IN LORRAINE. July 11. (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) American sol diers suffering from shell shock now are hurried in .the shortest possible time to a base hospital established here for the special treatment of such cases. The element ot tlmo Is regarded by the specialists attached to this hospital as a prime Import ance, KffortB are made to doliver such cases to the hospitals within rorty-elght hours after the first symp toms develop. A special ambulance service has been organized for that purpose. Once hero, - the shocked soldier remains here until the treat ment ot his case Is finished'. If the norvous trouble of a patient results from concussion or from the ' strain oc service, it ib curame nere. If it is not curable, it is because the case was not brought here soon enough or because It had a chronlo foundation before the patient went Into the army. Nervous symptoms resembling what has been called shell shock have developed under the bIiu ple strain of service In soldiers who have never heard a shell explode. Base hospital 117 treats both these aspects ot war neuroslB, and only ac cording to the highest standards of neurological science. Hypnosis is seldom used. No dangerous experi ments are- allowed and isolation Is not followed excepting as simple war rqutlne. Tho patients are kept to gether andl the nurses are kept with them, giving their company as well us their experienced oare and both are a part ot the cure. ... The patients themselves, when they have recovered sufficiently, become ex-offlclo members of the staff, they co-oiperate with the doctors and nur ses In helping the other boys out of their muddled condition of mind and their unsteady state of nerves. The most obvious part of the treat-ment-lB' tiie use of tools or the -In- -struments of sport. A shaking hand that Is unable to retain anything In It gradually steadies with patient gripping exercise and this method has the advantage of occupying the mind while It re-educates tho hand. One hoy whose head and hands were shaking constantly wns seen weaving things out of dyed ends of string on a loom made for him out of odds and ends of lumber by other patients. Through his attention to the work and by the growing firm ness of grip ho Is obtaining through practice he Ib gaining control of his nerves and will be cured In a few days.
