Second Regiment 0. N, G., of ABhland, baa received orders to proceed at once to Port land where they will go into camp until Oregon's quota is properly organized, when they will be sent to the scenes of action. As showing the physical abilities of the Ash land boys, thirty-seven of them passed out of forty that underwent the rigid military examination. These boys are all richt and the people of Jackson County need not fear but that they will properly acquit themselves in action or wherever placed. The boys will pass through Medford this Friday afternoon on the regular passenger train, at 6:15. The people of Med ford will give them a hearty greet' ing. Tho band bovs will be out: the G. A. R. boys will be there; Capt. Hembree will be there with bis company of recently enlisted volunteers and it is expected and earnestly hoped that there will be a big erowid of citizens out to cheer the boys en in their start to do battle for our country and our people's honor. It would be quite appropriate if the ladies could be there in great numbers, each with a bouquet of flowers to present to some one or several of the young soldiers. The very least we can do is to give them a hearty cheer as they leave us an opportunity to welcome them home may never be ours to extend. And ladies, don't forget the bouquets. The soldiers are all young men and a little appreciation from you would tend mightily to smooth the trail which they will be aompelled to travel.

Every man responded "BKADT" by ralalof bis hand. At the close of Mr. Gregory's remarks a muster roll was presented and was signed by abont twenty-five persons. Another meeting was called for ruestlay night to perfect the organ ization of the company. What was the meaning of that beat ing of drums and piping of fifes In front of Thb Mail office oo Tuesday eveslng, did you ask? It was this: For the post few days F. M. Stewart has been recruiting a compaay of vol unteers for the army, and on that evon- ing the boys assembled in front of our ofNco and from thore, with flag and music, marched to Woolf's hall where, after tbo enrolling of a" few more names, they prooeeded to the organi zation o! acompany.
