A special to the Herald from Washington says : Considerable progress has been made by Major-General Otis upon the plan of campaign he will inaugurate immedi ately upon the beginning of the dry sea son.

Washington, Sept. 12. The rumors I of possible combinations among the Btates of Central and South America di rected against the United States are re ceived with some concern by the officials here. " Nearly a year ago this spirit of distrust on the part of Latin-American people was first' exhibited in the semi official publication by the United States of Colombia of a proposition to combine the nations of South and Central Amer ica. In that case the ostensible purpose was to resist unjust demands for indem nities by foreign Btates. But incident ally during the discussion it appeared that the scope of the combination would be broader than this, and there was more than one intimation of a deep-seat ed distrust of the United States. - Otis' Friends Hopeful. Chicago, Sept. 12. A special to the Record from Washington says: The friends of General Otis are be coming hopeful that they will succeed in having him retained in his present com' mand.

POPE & CO., Corner Fourth and Main Stnets, OREGON CITY, OREGON San Fernando, Luzon, To the people of the United States our war with Spain a"d insurrection in the Philippines have given rise to a feeling of the deepest pride in their volunteer soldiery, and to the most heartfelt grati fication that they have proven them selves true sons by deeds of gallantry, and by bravery in battle. Particularly is this true in weste rn states, which fur nished men for longer service, and men who endured greater hardships, priva tions and participated in more engage ments in the Philippines than was re quired of similar organizations in Cuba or Porto Rico. ' The people of Oregon may be justly proud of the achievements of her volun teers, who have but recently returned. With their discipline, courage and en durance, for manv months under the greatest trials, the world is familiar. While applause is universal, and praise is heard on every hand, let them not forget that they have other sons, though few in number, in the regular army of the United States. One of these, a first sergeant of the Ninth infantry, in an en gagement at Ford, near Las Pinas, Phi lippine islands, June 10, 1899, led his company through an almost impassible ford even under favorable circumstances. At that time it was thought by many to bean impossibility to cross, owing to the fact that the Fourth cavalry was re treating and seemed entirely to choke the ford. ' By his courage and power of command, he succeeded in accomplish ing this feat, and, making a detour to the right with his company, formed a skirmish line and, marching by the left flank, gained a position on the right of two companies of his regiment, which had forded the stream just prior to the retreat of the cavalry. , , The First Colorado volunteers had first crossed the ford, and were driving the enemy back, when another force of Filipinos attempted to gain their rear from the left. To prevent this the bat talion of the Fourth cavalry tried in vain. The two companies of the Ninth infantry were making a stubborn resist ance ; but it is doubtful, if they had not received assistance in the manner de scribed, they could have held out any length of time. The movement was executed under a heavy fire from the front and from the left. The three companies uniWd drove the enemy in disorder from the field. The battalion commander thanked this first sergeant in person for his bril liant achievement, and later recom mended him for a medal of honor for bravery and for distinguished service in battle. Do you know him? He is First Sergeant Frank Newton, company K, Ninth- United States infantry, and his home is in Oregon City. A few days later a Wend inquired of him: "What did you do to deserve a medal of honor?" "My duty," was the reply. May we all have done the same on the last great day, duty to ourseb'es to our country, and to our God. Walter S. SheldoH.

He met a stranger on the bridge, who was amused at his tugging away on a rope, trying to pull the cow along, when be reminded the stranger that he did not desire to have any fun made of that cow, because the cow represented a good deal of property.
