Good Attendance Expected When the assembly Is sounded in the Aromoy at 7:30 Monday morning, the majority of the members of Com pany G Third Infantry, Oregon Na tional Guard will lay aside all thoughts of business life, and become soldiers of the nation for a nerlod of seven days, wearing the khaki uniform, ex- . tending the usual military courtesies to superior officers, eating the rations furnished to the United States sol diers, and taking a turn at guard duty. The citizen soldiery will march in heavy marching order (carrying rifle, haversack, mess kit, shelter half, can teen and blanket) from Oregon City to the rifle range at Clackamas station, where with the other companies com- f posing the Third Regiment, they will go into camp for seven days. The six companies, hospital corps and band stationed In Portland will march from that city to the range. The companies at Woodburn, Baker City, Salem and Pendleton will be conveyed to the range by train. As soon as the guardsmen arrive, the tents will be erected, the camp . placed In orded, and the guard mount- ed A corporal and three privates from the local company will form a portion of the first gaurd mount. Guard duty will be given as much attention as possible at this encampment, in order to make every man familiar with this department of soldier life. Field exercises will be taken up the following day. One batallion will be assigned to the rifle range for small arms Instruction practice each day until the three battalions have had a day flLDife. JTUat will be the extent of the range practice, except that the targets may be used at all times by company and regimental teams for practice. While the programme of events has not been announced, it is known that there is to be at least one maneu ver which will extend through two days, making it necessary for the f Not, Why Electric Light is PORTLAND RAILWAY Light & Power Company troops to bivouac in the field over night, several miles from camp. There will be problems for battalions and companies, and instruction in guard duty. x As to the turnout, there is now every assurance of a large response. From Portland the turnout will aver age about 85 percent of the strength of each company. At first there were indications of a much smaller percent age, but when company commanders ! gave their men to understand tnat jthe field programme will be the prin cipal feature of the camp, rather than target practice, the response of inter est was immediate. The news that a company from the First U. S. In fantry and a machine gun attachment from the Vancouver barracks would also be encamped at the range and participate In the maneuvers has caus ed a great many to take more inter est in the encampment. Several officers of the Regular Army have been detailed to attend the var ious events for the purpose of fur nishing any information that may be desired by the Guard officers. Major R. F. Noble, First United States In fantry, will be attached to the Third Infantry. He will inspect the regi ment during the camp and report to the War Department. Lieutenant James W. Everlngton, Third United States Infantry, will also be attached to the Third Oregon regiment. Blair-Leffler.

State officials, associations and in dividuals will co-operate with the United States Forest Service In an attempt to get accurate records of all fire losses in Washington and Ore gon this summer. The Forest Ser vice will compile a report showing by counties, the area burned over of mer chantable timber, no-merchantable timber, and cut over land; the quanti ty and value of the timber destroyed, and the cost of fighting the fires. In this way the Federal and State Gov ernments as well as the public will be enabled to obtain at once system atic information concerning all fire losses in these states. Heretofore, this Information has been only partially collected. The Forest Service has secured - compre hensive reports from rangers on the National Forests, but from no other Not? Cheap Street i. . i f; ' ' --t---- recently, showing log rafts of the Crown locks. The company will use at least Bource. The State Boards of Fores try in Oregon and Washington have had reports from their wardens, but many regions had no wardens. The State and Gevernment statistics were in different from and not brought to gether. Consequently, although those interested in the subject know in a general way what fire entails an enor mous loss to the community every year, they have been unable to back their arguments for remedial action with any definite proof. District Forester E. T. Allen is .re ceiving the active help of the Oregon Conservation Association, the Oregon State Board of Forestry, and the Washington Forest Fire Association in organizing the work. The two lat ter have revised their reprot forms to bring out the same facts regarding all fires. The Oregon Conservation Association is canvassing the state to secure suitable men to act as fire wardens and report on fires in their territory and present their names to the State Board for appointment. It will also send each man a post card reminder every two weeks, with a return card on which he will enter a few main facts about the fire. The Washington Forest Fire Association will collect reports from its rangers and from other correspondents where it has no rangers, 7 iie Forest Ser vice will furnish franked envelopes for mailing in the reports, and compile the results. The Washington State Board of Forestry has not made any arrangements as yet, but will undoubt edly furnish all the aid it can. Every lumberman, or any one else who is interestsd in preventing forest fires, will, see the advantages in bring ing this information before the public and can be of great assistance by re porting ffres in his vicinity. Forms will be furnished on application to the Secretary of the Oregon State Board of Forestry, or in Washington, to the Washington Forest Fire Asso ciation.. YOUNG MAN SHOT AT OSWEGO. Italian Laborer Celebrates Fourth by Firing in Crowd. Lawrence Ford, a young man of the west side, was shot at Oswego by Frank Severalli, a laborer on the Beaverton and Willsburg railroad, re ceiving a flesh wound In the thigh, which is not considered serious. A crowd of Americans and a crowd of foreigners were celebrating Saturday, and being filled with patriotism or something else, Severalli fired a re volver in the air, causing one of the Americans In whose crowd Ford was at the time, to reprove him for firing the gun on the street. This resulted In a war of words and one Of Ford's friends struck one of the foreigners, and the latter's friends scattered and ran in different directions. Severalli ran around the block and returning toward the Americans, fired four shots towards the crowd, one of which took effect on young Ford. The foreigner escaped. Ford was taken to Portland and surgical aid was rendered him by Dr. Rockey, who extracted the bul let, after which he came home.
