SOLDIER BOYS WILL ARRIVE
FROM CAMP »
Company D, as Usual, Wins Honors
in Review of Brigade of “ .
2600 Men.
Camp Jackson, June 23.—(To the
Editor.)—Our second week at camp
started with one’ of th»* big events.
On Monday afternoon the entire
82nd infantry ’brigade, which is
composed of the 162nd ami 168th
infantries, under the command of
Brigadier General George A. White,
paraded in full uniform through
the city of Medford to show the
citizens of that city that their
unlimited hospitality was appre-
ciated.
Company D TQceived a
grade that makes it one of the
ranking companies.
Tt was inspiring to those who
reviewed th«» parade to see more
than 2500 soldiers march nt atten
tion—an»l very perspiring to the
soldiers as the thermometer reg-
¡stored nearly 100.
*Thp remainder of the week han
been spent with sham battles and
military maneuvers.
Military problems may soem to
some a waste of ammunition and
time, but to those who watched
these demonstrations there was im
pressed upon their minds the fact
that th»»' people of Oregon have
th»» best protection that military
science can give them.
On Saturday, .Tun»» 20, all who
wished, to go were conveyed to
Crater lake in an immense caravan
of 600 cars furnished by Medford
citizens. Upon arriving in the park
we were informed that the road to
the lak»» was not open for four
miles so it was decided to take
the soldiers back to camp via
Klamath Falls and Ashland, This
was a very interesting an<l delight
ful trip. A few of the soldiers
who went in their own cars ami
were not connected with the cara
van hiked over four miles of snow
six feet deep in order to see the
lake.
They reported the lal^» as
one of the most beautiful sights
that they ha»l ever seen.
Scheduled for this week are an
all night bivouac and military
problems.
We will break camp
early Friday and expect to arrive
home about 3 p. m.
Th»» health of the company dur
ing camp has been remarkably
good.
We have had only one
hospital case.

COUNTY IS BEING MAPPED
Soil Experiments to Determine as
to Treatment and Crops.
The mapping of the soils of
Kane county by the bureau of soils
of the United States department
of agriculture, in cooperation with
Oi»-gun Agricultural college, which
was liscontinued with the begin
ning of the rainy season last fall,
is again in progress and will be
completed this year and with the
mapping of a small territory in
Marion county this work for the
Willamette valley will be complet
ed. Ultimately all the lands of the
United States will be similarly
mapped.
The lands are mapped ns to
origin, drainage and other chemical
and physical properties. All lands
of similar characteristics are fo be
grouped and it is the aim of the
bureau of soils to conduct experi
ments with fertilizer and crops for
the purpose of determining what
treatment and what crops are best
adapted to each kind of soil, there
by making available information
of great value to the owners of
such lands.
Maps will be published and will
be distributed through the agricul
tural college experiment station.
Benefit Entertainment to Be Given.
The Choral club will give an
entertainment Wednesday, July 1,
in the high school gymnasium for
the benefit of the city park and
playgrounds fund.
The program
w’ill include a one-act play, 14 The
Burglars.” a skit by Helen Ostran-
der an»l Ralph Boslotigh and several
musical numbers, A pretty feature
will be an old-fashioned garden
scene.

Several puppies which are but a
few days old were orphaned in a
fire which on Monday afternoon
destroyed the D. Quaglia home east
of Knox hill. The charred remains
of th»» mother were found under
the debris of th»» milk house. The
puppies wen» on th«» porch of the
house and were saved. The flames
were thought to have starte»! from

and the children were the only

things saved were a few pieces of

The loss was partially covered
by a small amount of insurance
which had been taken out a few
days before.
JARDINE IS COMING HERE
Secretary of Agriculture Will

W. M. Jardine, secretary of ngri-
culture, will he in the city briefly
tomorrow forenoon white on his
way to Portland. He will be mo;
here by a committee from Eugene

making an ^agricultural survey of

Those who w'ill come from Eu

tainment for him.
Mill Fire Averted.
What might have been a serious
blaze at the Anderson & Middleton
Latham mill was averted Monday
evening, when employes quenched
flames which ha»l started in the
fuel bin, probably from a flying
spark.
The fir»* department was called
from here and was accompanied
to the scene by practically all the
automobiles in
the city.
The
flames bad been extinguished, how-
ever, before th»* arrival of aid.

of water being use«l for irrigation
purposes, the water pressure was
