cisco a few months ago on the tug Sam
eon, and little is known about him locally.
It Is said that ho was formerly a locomo
tive engineer.
The accident is said to have been due
'to a defective boiler. The factory was
totally destroyed.
Engineer Moore died at St. Mary's Hos
pital here tonight, and before his death
Jihe made the statement that he had no
Jcnowledge of the cause of the explosion.
'The boiler at the time had but Compounds
fof steam. His death was due to Internal
injuries.
Within an hour after the explosion the
private residence of Mr. Deforce was
"totally destroyed by fire. Mr. Deforce
"was In the city before he had heard of
either the explosion or the destruction of
Shis home.

OUTLOOK ONE OF PROMISE.
Full "Wheat Will Be Only Poor
Crop In Folic County.
DALLAS, Or., July 10. The bop vines
are looking fine and promise a full crop,
provided the conditions from now on
are favorable. Blooming has commenced,
although the arms seem short, which
would be Improved by warmer weather.
Very few lice are noticeable. On the
whole, the outlook Is far better than at
this time last season.
Prunes are a full crop In this locality.
TThe fruit and trees are In good condi
tion. The July and August dropping, pe
culiar to the Fallenberg, has commenced.
Preparations for Increased drying capaci
ty is being made by many growers.
Fall wheat will not yield over one-half
f a crop. Spring wheat is looking well,
and will be average. Oats arc fine, and
will no doubt be a full crop. Potatoes are
in the very best condition, and promise
xaore than an average yield. All Fall va
rieties are in full bloom.
"WASHINGTON WHEAT CROP.
-State Inspector Wright Places Xt
Above 30,000,000 Bushels.
State Grain Inspector George P. Wright
recently made a trip through Eastern
Washington and is enthusiastic over the
prospects for a big crop of wheat this
year. His earlier prediction of a crop of
0,000,000 bushels he says will be more
than justified.
"It will be the largest crop of' wheat
the state has ever raised, says Mr.
Wright. "The harvest has commenced a
month earlier than usual, and there Is
practically no danger of injury from
rains. This is the only danger wheatmen
fear, and there Is little probability that
they, will suffer from this cause.
"In the Spokane district binders are at
work cutting the Fall wheat. Binders
and threshers are working about Walla
Walla and along the Snake River. There
'Is an Inadequacy of harvesting machinery
qand hands are scarce, in spite of the
fact that wages are from $2 to $5 a day.
TThe latter scale is offered for experienced
field hands.
"This lack of men and harvesting ma
chinery will naturally delay the harvest,
but the danger from rain is offset by the
fact that the harvest commenced a month
earlier than usual. It is probable the
farmers will get their grain under cover
before the rains come. The weather at
present is ideal for harvesting.
"The fields are free from weeds and
the crop Is a good one on all classes of
land. Earlier in the season there was
an intimation of danger from rust. It
has developed that this was not serious,
for "no damage has been done to the
grain The rust has only affected the
foliage and blades of the plant, and not
the stalk. The glades have dropped off
and the sun has gotten clear down to
the roots.
"Thore is a superior crop of barley,
which is being put under shelter. All
classes of farm produce, hay, all cereals,
and vegetables are giving a. full orop.
This promises to be a most prolific year
for the farmers."
Hops All Rlsrht at Needy.
OREGON CITY. July 10. County Com
missioner T. B. Kililn, of Needy precinct,
expresses a more cheerful view of the
hop outlook, as far as prices are con
cerned, than do the growers in some
other sections. He says that buyers are
contracting the crop In his neighborhood
at the rate of 10 cents per pound, which
will pay vell for handling the hops. Mr.
Killln tays that be has always made
bans pay, but last year had his yard
leased out. and the lessee lost money.
As a. consequence, he, with other neigh
bors, plowed up their yards, a move that
he now regrets. He thinks there will be
no trouble about securing pickers, on ac
count of the lesser number of yards to
harvest.
Wheat in Walla Walla Valley.
WESTON, Or., July 10.-Threshlng out
fits have just begun to take the field in
this locality, although harvesting has
been two weeks in progress in the Walla
Walla Valley. The fact that more empty
cells than usual are found In the wheat
heads is made up for by the plumpness
of the berry and the thick stand of grain,
so that yields of 40 bushels and more
per acre arc confidently expected in this
neighborhood. Spring grain is also doing
well, and the harvest will be bountiful.
Cutting Oiits In Polk County.
INDEPENDENCE, Or., July 10. Some
of the fanner of this section started In
this morning to cut their Winter oata.
It Is said that there will be a good crop
of them.

.REVIEWED 6Y GOVERNOR
COaiMANDER-IN-CHIEF OFFICIALLY
SEES 'CAMP GEER.
The Guardsmen Mad6 n Fine Appear
ance nnd Held Spectators Spell
boundCamp Life.
SALEM, Oi, July 10. The Chief event
at Camp Geer today was the review of
tho National Guard by Commander-in-Chief
T. T. Geer and his staff this even
ing. Lang before the hour for the pa- i
raoo arrived, thousands of visitors
thronged tho limits of the parade ground?.
The brigade was formed and Brigadier
General Beebe asrumed command and
conducted the parade. As Govenor Geer
and staff appeared they were met by
General Beebe and staff and conducted
to the parade grounds. When the partr
passed the guard a salute of Id guns was
fired from tho braes cannon near the
brigade headquarters. Tho National
Guard then passed In review, the infantry
leading and tho cavalry bringing up the
rear. Almost every company, as it passed
the reviewing officer, moved as one man.
and In perfect line. So Impressive was
tho ceremony that after every officer and
soldier had left the field, the crowd stood
speechless for several minutes.
After the parade, tho Governor went
to brigade headquarters where he and
hiB staff received the commissioned offi
cers of tho guard. At sundown a samte
was fired and the flag lowered. Tha Third
Regiment band played "The Star-Span-gled
Banner" as the, flag was being hauled
down and the vast multitude stood with
uncovered head. Mrs. Gear visited head
quarters this .evening and met the brigade
officers.
The Fourth Regiment band, or Eugene,
gave a serenade at headquarters this ev
ening and had for an audience not only
the military efflcers and men but thous
ands of civilians Who gathered around.
This band has had Its Instruments and
music but ono week, yet their perform
ance tonight won general applause.
In the parade the First Separate Bat
talion from Eastern Oregon was added
to tha Third Regiment, giving Colonel
Evorett a regiment of three battalions.
Battery A and tho two troops of cavalry
also participated in the parade. Governor"
Geer, as Commander-in-Chief, took a
position near the center of the east side
of tho parade grounds to review the brig
ade. Next to the guardhouse, the company
kitchens and mess tents are the chief ob
jects of investigation by visitors to" Camp
Geer. The feeding of 1300 men tbr times
a day is no small undertaking, especially
under such conditions a& must prevail In
a camp. There are 18 company kitch
ens and one each for the battery. Troop
A, and Troop B, of the cavalo making
1 messes in all. Besides these there are
two officers and one brigade meju. Since
the. National Guard has become settled In
camp there has sprung up a sharp rivalry
among some of the companies to see
which company kitchen shall be kept the
neatest and which shall be best provided
with food.
The work of drawing provisions falls
upon the quartermaster-sergeant of each
company and If any company Is not pro
vided with sufficient rations the men have
that official to fix the blame upon. If
the food ho not properly prepared tha
cooks come in for their share of censure.
Nearly all tho men seem to be living well
for soldiers, yet the casual visitor is led
to believe that the members of one or
two companies might be better provldpd
fop. What the men may have Is indi
cated by the bill of fare of Company -Jj
Third Regiment, which company seems
to fare as well as any. E. E. Kimberlln,
of Portland, Is quartermaster-sergeant
of this company. For breakfast tho men
fiad mushi steak, ham and egga, pofa
oes, bread and butter, .and coffeej for
dinner, stowed beef, potatoes, cabbage,
turnips; carrots, bread and butter,' milk
and coffee; for supper, steak, stew, beets,
cold slaw, rice, potatoes, bread and but
ter, onions, iced milk and coffee. Tho
food was prepared In a appetizing manner
and in many different forms, so that when
placed on the table. It presented a first
class boarding-house appearance. This
company's mess table I sovered with
white qll cloth and consequently presents
a mor cleanly appearance than most of
tho tables.
There lsa vast difference In the man
ner of serving, rations. At one company's
mess when 'supper was announced the!
men lined up and marched past the
kitchen with plates and cups In their
hands. All except those being served
were rattling their plates and cups and!
shouting at each other In the nolsest
fashion. As each passed the kitchen he
was given a potato, chunk of bread, piece
of meat, and his cup was filled with cof
fee. Some helped themselves to butter
from a roll on the ground. Then they
Jlled back to the table and began to eat.
Those first served were through eating
before the last sorved began.
At the adjoining company's mess there
was a different plan of proceeding. The
cook and his waiters put the food on
the table and then announced that supper
was ready. The men formed In line and
marched quietly to their places. They
sat down In as orderly a manner as
though they had been at home, and main
tained good conduct throughout h6 meat.
Xt was very noticeable that the men at
tb$ latter mess fared much better than
those at the former and must have en
joyed their meal much more.
But while some of the company messes
present a very attractive appearance, a
visitor must wander around to the brig
ade kitohen to see something that will
make him hungry. Harry Wright, of
Portland, is brigade Cook. His kitchen
is a model of neatness and order. His
improvised pantry Is well supplied with
not only the more substantial articles
of food, but also with desserts In great
variety. Not having so many to cook for
as havo the company cooks, he ha time
to prepare delicacies. The officers have a
cash allowance for food and pay for
what they get
Company E, Third Regiment, had a spe
cial dinner at noort Sunday, provided at
the expense of Quartermaster-Sergeant
Kimberlin, and prepared by Company
cook Charles Gardner, of Portland. The
boys ate chickens, pics, cakes, pceches
and oranges, in addition to their fegular
ration or beans, potatoes, bread and but
ter, meat, coffee, milk and vegetables.
Tho forenoon today was given to drill
upon the formation of the brigade in
preparation for the review this evening
The boys worked hard for several hours
and for that reason were given a rest
this nfternoon. The remainder of the
week will bo filled with hard work for
the guardsmen. In their home armories
they have learned the company drill and
some of them are familiar with the fqr
matlpn and movements of a battalion and
regiment, but nearlr all are unfamiliar
with the regimental and brigade forma
tion. Three or four hours' marching on
a warm day with coats buttoned up and
muskets on their shoulders taxes tho
endurance of some Qf the boys, whp are
not accustomed to hard work., The ef
fort to maintain a correct position and
to keep in line adds strength and makes
the drill something more than simple
walking.
Tomorrow evening a review will be
given in honor of Adjutant-General Gun.
tonbeln. and Thursday evening CoIoneL
jacm-on win review tho brigade.
General Beebe today issued a roster of
the Oregon National Guard, showing the,
names, office and rank of all the com
missioned officers.

fore Xo Early Rush of Campers.
OREGON CITY, Or., July 18. Glad
stone Park is a scene of busy activity
today, making preparations for the first
day o the Chautauqua assembly, wfclch
will begin tomorrow morning. The con
ditions are favorable for a large attend
ance, although there are fewer campers
on the ground than on the diy previbus
to the beginning or the assembly last
year. The appearance of the weather evi
dently causes the lack pf an Barly rush
of campers, but the Chautauqua manage
ment still has faith thit the total num
ber of campers -will far exceed those on
the grounds last season. The Chemawa
nd!an Band arrived today, accompanied
y the two Filipino boys, who are now
inmates of the school. It is said that
these boys will play In the bind. The
athletic field is in far better .condition
than ever before, and the first game of
baseball will be played tomorrow after
noon between the Oregon City and Canby
teams. The greatest Improvement In the.
park is the new restaurant building erect
ed by the management.

Republican State Central Committee will
meet in this city for the purpose of fixing
the time and selecting e place for the
meeting 6f the atata convention. Seattle..
Spbkane and Tacoma will be candidates
for the honor or being the convention
city. Secretary J. Vf. Llsons said today
that ho poll of the state committee had
been dbtalned, yet he believed that a ma
jority would favor Tacoma. Spokane's
claims will be presented by Judge M. T.
Hartaon. Seattle will claim the honor
because of the fact that It haa never had
a state nominating convention since
statehood.
The question of the time of the conven
tion has not been generally discussed
among the members of the committee. It
Is believed, however, that It will be fixed
for the last week in August. This would
make practically a two months' cam
paign. two fires in Spokane.
