Thcpermission of the- War Department has been secured for the purpose, and guan antee of tenting, cots and other equipment has been arranged for. Though no assurance- ox the Kind has been received, it" is anticipated that the Exposition authorities wlLI provide suitable grounds for the encampment. The cadets of the Washington Agricultural College fif Pullinan are to spend teq davs in encampment at the Exposition it is saiu mat grouuus nave ueeu proraised them! by the Exposition managers. . xhey numoer .300 men and consist of four Infantry com-' panies and band of 30 pieces. .The OAC regiment, outnumbers the Washinetonians by 100, , and com prises six Infantry Companies, and detachments each of artillery 'sig nal corps, engineers corps, hospital corps and band of 24 pieces. The middle - of. June, or immediately after Commencement has vbeen suggested as a favorable date for the cadets to go into camp. It is not expected that the cadets of the two states could camp at the .same time on account of the lack of tent ing and parade grounds. It the proposition be carried out as plan ned, -it will be an attractive feature for the Fair, a novel and excellent advertisement of the college, and not unattractive to the boys of the regiment. .

His fellow-sportsmen-contend that he is the most enthusiastic duck-hunter known to the fraternitx"; It is said that De Varne. permits no obstacle ' to def ter hitn in the pursuit of a wound ed bird.- - He greatly enjoys -wading after his game.- -To go out I into the turbulent waters- until the cold waveo auigc uuuci u suui uiuu, is his delight, and to swim in pur suit of his game is glory beyond acclaim. i. ; ; it. ;- EeT:5 U- f The first of the week while hunt ing in company with other members of the Ione Pine Club, he shot a teal duck which Jell on the-. Oppos ite bank of a Willamette branch flowing partly around Smith island. Devarney's friends essayed to : de ter iiim from the act, but their ad monitions . were brushed aside, and after removing the ' weightier articles of " his apparel, he plunged j boldly into the current. The feat was watched with breathless an xietyi accompanied by "cold chills" but it is claimed that not a . tremor moved the dauntless sportsman through the performance of suc- cessf ullx securing and ; returning with Jbis bird. ;. It was on the same day that,' as the result of a long shot, . DeVarn ey brought down a fine mallard. It seemed; not to be seriously wound ed, and the hunter sought to use the live bird as a. decoy. It could not flyijotberwise it would have continued its course when shot. Still, to prevent : the duck ; from swimming away. DeVarney. fasten ed it, in a suitable place, :: with - sE " iaade from strips of his pock fcbhcealed himself," wiWriervotis art- ticipation. and as he searched the murky heavens for the approach of game, from an unexpected quart er he heard a flutter and a deep re sounding -"quack. ' ' - That was a thrilling moment; but when his vision fell on the game, he saw at once that it was his decoy duck in full flight attached to which was a long white string. ; DeVarney sent after the fleeing bird the entire con tents pf his pump gun, ' but it soon passed safely around a bend in the river, the streamer fluttering a fond and a lasting farewell. :.; AN URGENT APPEAL Grange Members Should Read and act Annual Meeting.
