MORNING ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, AUGUST 25, 1912
1200 HEN LEARNING
GREAT WAR
E
FORT STEVENS, Or., Aug. 24.
Twelve hundred men, regulars and
guardsmen, are playing the war game
at Fort Stevens, and day and night
the camp is prepared for action. Con
stant relays of commissioned and
non-commissioned officers and artil
lery experts are training the ' eight
companies of the Oregon Artillery
Reserves. The common belief that
the big guns are fired from a platform
after being sighted like small arms,
are which belief was held by some of
the guardsmen when they came here,
is far from the fact, and conditions
are such that only the highest train
ed experts can possibly qualify for the
most difficult positions. The huge 10
inch rifles, now being manned by the
state; troops, have a length ' of over
30 feet and are mounted in such a
manner that only for a few seconds
before fire are they exposed from
their concrete walls. They fire 10
inch shells, 3J feet long and weighing
about 670 pounds.
The Oregonians are. taught various
methods of firing the big guns. It is
explained to them that direct firing
can take place by means of observa
tion instruments attached to the ri
fles, and it is shown them how, if a
target should happen to be at a long
range, the distance to the object fired
at can be obtained by range finders.
These instruments may be thousands
of yards from the batteries, but by
means of trigonometric calculation
they automatically solve the problem
and give the information desired.
They are taught that a low or high
temperature affects powder. On
warm days guns shoot greater distan
ces. Corrections for tide are made.
The curvature of the earth is taken
into consideration. The wind may re
tard or accelerate the movement of a
prejectile, even if it is traveling one
half a mile each scond. All this in
formation must be obtained and al
lowed for before the final setting of
the gun is made, moreover it must be
done in less than 30 seconds because
the guns are fired twice a minute.
By means of a sub-calibre gun the
volunteers will be( trained in actual
target practice today and Monday. On
Tuesday and Wednesday they will be
permitted to fire full service target
practice. Governor West and possib
ly General Maus will be present.
Colonel Stevens, the district com
mander of the lower river fortifica
tions, has ordered all commercial and
fishing boats to keep off the range
during certain hours on the days in
which service practice will be held,
to avoid accidents. Great precautions
are to be exercised. Nearly a score
of Army officers from all parts of the
United States are supervising all in
structions, and among the officers are
experts from Fort Monroe, the great
artillery school.
Captain Collins, Captain Page and
Captain Casey, three of the most fa
mous artillerymen in the United
States Army, are supervising the in
structions and target practice prepar
ations. -
The War Department, it is said, is
at last fully alive to the vast im
portance of the Columbia River's de
fense. The fact that this is the only
harbor in 700 miles of rock coast,,
that it is the nearest point to the Ori
ent and that it taps what may be
termed the granary of the United
States, makes these defense opera
tions of vital importance.
STEADY EFFORT.
Anybody can get a steady liv
ing out of steady effort. The same
clock that ticks off twenty hours for
one man can't cheat his neighbor.
The same laws of right and wrong,
the same privilege to do and dare,
are open to both. Herbert Kauf

In Mauritius tea is made from the
leaves of the orchid; in Peru it is in
fused from native holly: the Tasma
nians have many substitutes, while
the Tonkinese make it of wood. bark,

BE MORE THAN CLEAN
How To
Be Free From
Body Odors
Unpleasant
How often you meet some woman
or man who gives and leaves with you
an impression of exquisite personal
cleanliness, who has an air of refine
ment perceptible not only to the eye,
but to other senses as well. The very
presence of such a person is a pleas
ure. The use of Rexall Nice is a great
help in the attainment of perfection
in bodily refinement, tending to over
come all traces of unpleasant bodily
odors, including those arising from .
perspiration. It at the same time im
parts to the affected parts a lasting
and delightful fragrance that is both
delicate and subtle. Rexall Nice is
guaranteed by us to do this. If, after
using it, you do not find it all that
we represent it, we want you to come
back to us and get your money. Price
25 cents. Sold in this community on
ly at our store. The Rexall Store.

N HOP CROP
IS ABOVE AVERAGE
Reports from the hop yards of the
Willamette valley are almost uniform
ly good. Only in isolated instances
and where the growers neglected to
spray at all has any material damage
resulted. With favorable weather for
picking the quality should be the best
ever turned out.
A report from the Wasco county
yards that took the first prize for
quality at the Chicago show last sea
son, says that the outlook is for even
better quality than then. ' -
Signs of mold are no worse to date
this season than they were a year ago
therefore the alarm felt by growers
generally is unfoundeded. Notwit
standing the- good showing of crops
some of the growers have . already
started to gather their Early Fug
gles and some wil start on the late
hops during the coming week .
By the trade generally this is de
plored because it will, not only hurt
the growers who pick their product
early, but will have a demoralizing ef
fect, upon other Oregon hops.
No business is reported passing in
the hop market locally at this time.
While the views of the trade are firm
er and it is generally believed that
higher prices would be paid for first
class quality, buyers and growers
alike are holding off operations until
they see what they are going to get.
Some business is reported as pass
ing in the Sacramento, Cal., district
at 18c a pound and this would mean
at least 19ci for the better Oregon
product. .
