The I .a Grande national guard
troop returned home about half
past nine yesterday morning, full
fledged soldiers with 17 days In
uniform behind them.
The company arrived one . day
late to the consternation of many
wives, mothers and sweethearts.
This last-tuinute delay was die
to the decision of the men to stop
over for a day in Portland.
(. 1.. Outton, captain of the
troop, stated this morning th it
from his observation the camp
was an entire success. The men
in the encampment had many en
joyable moments, some work a 11 1
enough to do at all times to keep
them contented.
Capt. Dutton's sentiments were
echoed by the members of the
company on their arrival here.
Kvery moment of the encamp
ment there was something inter
esting doing until along toward
the last when the hot weather
slowed down the various activities
to some extent.
The company was gone Just 17
days, just long enough for u va
cation and short enough not to
be tiresome.
; -,gular work will be resumed
once again under the supervision
of a new Instructor, Krnest Ely,
who succeeds Captain Hathaway.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif.
(Hy the Associated Press).
All brick buildings here were
demolished this morning-, in
cluding the Arlington Hotel,
by an earthquake which
swept the southern . part of
the state. It seems to have
centered its ferocity on this
city. Water mains and river
reservoirs broke and the city
is partly flooded. The main
street of the city upheaved
and buckled under the temb
lor, and as the water mains
parted jreyser s shot up
through the pavement. Twd
fires were started.
It is feared the Toss of life
may be considerable, particu
larly in the ruins of the Ar

which collapsed like an egg
