" Ppf lacK or xunas, ine encampment oi the Oregon National Guard will con tinue only six instead of eight days. The militiamen -went Into camp at Al bany yesterday, and will bepln drilling today. The troops present a better ap pearance than ever before, and the best gathering in the history of the guard is anticipated. CAMP "WILLIAMS, ALBANY, July 17. (Staff correspondence.) Pleased over the assurance of . a six days' encampment,, end eager to show their ability as sol diers, the companies of the Oregon Na tional Guard thit arrived here today turned to their work with a vim, and by evening camp was pitched and In order, end tomorrow the regular routine of drill work will be taken up. Their camp Is situated about a mile 'southeast of Al bany, and in .honor -of Mayor Williams, of Portland, has been named Camp "Will iams. In the neighborhood of 1300 uni formed men are In the camp, and It Is an imposing scene to stand upon the porph cf the building In which General Beebe has his headquarters, and which is situated in the center of the camp, and look over the array of sturdy men, ready to fly to the defense of their country at the le?st alarm. The first to arrive were Company G and Hospital Corps, of Al bany, who reached camp about 9 o'clock this morning. Troop A, from Lebanon, consisting of about 23 men, arrived about 11 A. M. The next arrivals were on the special train from Portland, which ar rived at 11:S0, and bringing the entire Third Regiment and Light Battery A, of Portland; and Companies D. Woodburn, and F, of Salem, of the Fourth Regi ment, ip command of Colonol Everett, of Portland. The remainder of the Fourth Regiment arrived on the regular train at S.45, and was in ..command of Colonel Yoratt, of Eugene. The first separate bat talion, infantry, from La Grande arrived this evening and will be ready for work in the morning. "Word was received from the regulars that left Vancouver, and they are expected here by Saturday night. Arrival at Albany. Immediately upon their arrival at Al bany, the various rompanles marched at once to the camp grounds, and the way they took hold of their work and got their camp into shape would do honor to com panies of longer service. Adjutant-General George T. "Willett has charge of the orders, and the camp was so arranged In advance that there was no delay In the assignment to positions. The companies that arrived on the special train from Portland reported a pleasant trip and say that the run was made in excellent time. The militiamen left Portland at 8:15 and arrived at Albany at 11:30. A number of the Third Regiment spent last night In the Armory, to be ready to report at the 7 o'clock rollcall tills morning. Sharply at 7 every .man was at his place, and 1n speaking of the present encampment Colonel EVerett said: "A most gratifying thing about our trip so far Is the fact that the men have all been on time and everj thing has been done with dispatch, showing that their previous encampments have been of great value to them." Start From Portland. Upon leaving Portland at 8:15, guards were stationed at the platforms of the cars and the men were not allowed to pass to and fro. A special detachment was sept to guard the baggage car, and every precaution was taken that would he taken in time of war. Quartermaster L. H. Knapp, who had charge of the train, was kept busy attending to the various details and responding to the many requests that were made of him. Each company Is allowed ono extra man, and one of them had utilized this privi lege by bringing a negro to do their cook ing for them. Just at bis busiest time. Quartermaster Knapp was -stopped by this individual, who it soems had at some time been pu off a train. "Here," said he, "I will give you this now," presenting a request for his trans portation.' "I don't-want. It now," said theQuar tcrmaster, - 'Walt until "I am taking up the fares.' . .- - "I won't be put off, will I?" was the reply, and he would not be content until he had received -assurance that he would jjot be put off. Such incidents as this, together with the necessary regular work that naturally falls to the lot of the Quartermaster, kept that worthy gentleman well exer cised until the militiamen had passed Sa lem and the last of the baggage waseafe in the hands of the guards in the baggage car. As for the rest of the party, it Is safo to say that little of care or worry crossed their minds after they boardod the train and were sure that they would not be left out of the big encampment. V-As they passed 'each town along the road cheer after cheer was sent up, and in many cases they were answered with a vim. Girls were especially attracted by the imposing uniforms, and many hand kerchiefs were waved in -greeting as the train passed on Its way to Camp Will iams. The regimental band, consisting of 23 pieces, and under the charge of Mr. Everest, accompanied the regiment, and at many points the people were favored, with musical selections. The regular train from the south was late, and arrived about 4 o'clock, bring ing flvo companies of the Fourth Regi ment and the regimental band. Compa nies A and C and the band, consisting of 28 pieces, were from Eugene, Company E from Roseburg, Company H from Grant's Pars and Company B from Ashland. On account of the senior rank of their Colo nel, G. O. Toran, of Eugene, the Fourth Reglmen"recelved the first position in the camp at the right of the line. Their horses had been sent ahead of them over land, and the boys reported a ploasanl trip. Colonel OToran ls proud of his men. and says they 'are very prompt in thelj work. Tho campwaa made complete, ex cept for the regulars, who Tili not,,arrlv until Saturday, by tho arrival of tho first separate battalion on tho regular train about 8:04 P. M. Thla battalion consists -at three companies Company A, of Baker City; Company B, of La Grande, and Company D, of The Dalles. Their tents were pitched and ready for them upon their arrival, and the men will be ready to commence work in the morning. They were in command of Major F. A. Mead, of La Grande, and upon their arrival they were given an enthusiastic reception by the members of the camp. Tho camp rules are no less stringent than in war times, and already two of fenders have landed in the guardhouse. The imposing military surroundings were too much for these boys, and their blood longed for service. As they could not have this, they resolved to have the next best, and loaded their guns with blank cartridges and discharged them. The re port startled tho whole camp, and the brave soldiers all flocked to the scene of the supposed dleaster. The hospital corps waa called out, and preparations made to save the supposed victim if possible. Upon discovering the cause of all of the trouble, the offenders wero promptly rushed to the guaruhouse, and again ell was peace. Anticipate aiucU Pleasure. Although interested in the work of drill ing, and apparontly eager that the com pany to which they belong shall take the lead in the work,- the soldiers generally ceem to anticipate a very pleasant time in their encampment. "Were you with us at our last encamp ment?" said one. "No, this is my first encampment; but I hopo wo won't have to drill too much," said another. "We'll get plenty of work, but well have time for fun, too. I have been to three encampments, and we always man age to have a good time." Tho officers are very much interested In tho work that is before them and say that this is the only tlmo that they have had a chance to give their companies practical work. "Thl3 work Is of the greatest valuo to "them," said Colonel Everett, of tho Third Regiment, "and upon it depends their proficiency in time of need. In their drill work thBy are taught to love the flag and to bo truly patriotic I saw a llttlo Illus tration of this In Portland this morning, as we were marching to tho train. Our company met two or three men who had been officers in the Guard, and who had been jon several encampments. Almost in voluntarily they lifted their hats as the Stars and Stripes came In sight. It had become part of their nature to "respect tho flag, and it came natural to them to bare their heads as they were passing." The people of Albany aro expecting a great time Sunday, when excursions will como In from the various surrounding points. They are making extensive ar rangements to entertain the people that will be here at the time. Routine of "Work.

V 1flBssssKk3sV t ' M'BRIDE MEN ARE FIRM fo COMPROMISE ON' RAILROAD QUESTION" AT SPOKANE. No Longer a. "Wilson and Antl XPlBt Convention Today "Will Be a Lively One. SPOKANE, Wash., Juy 17.-Governor MeBrlde and ex-Senator McGraw have thrown their strength into the Spokane Republican fight to be settled in conven tion tomorrow. Almost In the twinkling or an eye the political dotation changed tohlght, and the Indications are that the fight for the organlHitlon of the Republi can County Convention tomorrow will be made on the lines of a railroad commission fight. The advocates of the railroad com mission, regardless of their alignment on John L. Wilson, have brought out E. C. Bratt as a candidate for chairman of the convention. Mr. Bratt, It is eald, has al most the eolld backing of the country, and he will be placed in nomination to morrow against Alonzo M. Murphy, tho choice of the Wilson forcea The Immediate cause of the change from a Wilson and anti-Wilson fight to a com mission fight was the arrival In the city yesterday morning of Governor Henry Mc- CAME TO OREGON IN 1859.

She was one of the best-known women In this section. . Brida and ex-Governor John H. McGraw. The presence of these stalwart advocates of a railroad commission spurred the friends of the Governor's plan to pctlon, and the next thing was the bringing out of Mr. Bratt as a candidate for chairman. Until a late hour last night a strong co terie of men irom the city were working for Mr. Bratt'fl success. In addition, scores of delegates from the country were at work with might and main for Mr. Bratt. who is himself a farmer. Ex-Senator John L. Wilson and United States Minister to Chile Henry L. Wilson, backed by their immediate supporters, asked Governor McBride to call off hlB friends, and when they became convinced that the Governor would do nothing for them they went out on the street to make p. contest In Murphy's Interest. The Wil sons sent every man they could think of to the Governor, begging him tq quit. The Governor replied Invariably that he had nothing to do with the matter, and could not control the vigorous organization put up by Mr. Wilson's opponents If he would. At 10:30 o'clock tonight Charles Sweeney, T. JX Rockwell, F. M. Dudley, J. A. Will iams and others were in the ante-room of the Governor's apartrnentg, alternately conversing wltli him and with, ex-Governor McGraw, hut without effect. Henry L. Wilson had. a consultation with them early In the day, and offered to give the Mc Bride men half of the delegation to the state convention If he would not insist on ap explicit railroad commission plank. This proposition tho antl-Wllson men ab solutely refused to accept. C. P. Lund, who Is one of the most active supporters of the railway commission plan, stated the position of himself and his associates: "This Is .a railroad commission fight, pure and simple. It has nothing to do with Mr. Wilson's candidacy for the Senate. The country delegates are for the commis sion bill to a man. A majority of tho city delegates are for It, and we are going to light It out. It la a pure matter of princi ple, and for Vie good of the party." Tho convention fight tomorrow promises to be an Interesting and warm one. Both sides are keyed up to a high pitch, and John L. and Henry L. Wilson have come out In the open as enemies of Governor McBride. Upon the result of the commis sion fight may depond the question of whether 5Wsn 'vv"l De Indorsed for United States Senator. Up until this af ternoon It had been the Wilson programme to adopt & strong Wilson resolution, but the commission fight came like a bomb shell Into the Wilson camp, and tonight all s chacs.

Stump, of Monmouth, has presented us with a. grand Cotswold ram, by whch our flock Is now headed. "The sheep, dairy and cattle Interests, of the state are making fine progress ana tne station starr is In close and con fidential touch with these Interests. The station nas determined and ascertained during the. year that hogs can be well and economically grown to the fattening stage without grain or other food than green vetch?, and we shall be abje to Winter brfiKiing hogs on vetch silage. "During the year the station has ascer tained that an abundant supply of vinegar can bo manufactured from refuse prunes. "Our bacteriologist, after careful an4 Intelligent experiments and Investigations, has found that no bacterial contamina tions are contained In milk as It comes from the cow. We have no doubt of the corrtctness of this conclusion, as In the gro?t scheme of nature, milk Is Intended to pc urish young mammals, and not to poison or destroy them. "Th station has ascertained during the year that this state can develop a val uable Industry in the production of rape- seed. Being a biennial, the rape plant must Winter before it seeds, and In most localities where rapo Is used for pasture the Winters are so severe that the plant Is destroyed by cojd, before reaching Its second or seeding year. "During the year the station has pro duced sweet silage from clover, vetches and com. The process Is tho same as hao heretofore been In use up to the point where tho silo Is filled. Then we Insert from the boiler a steam pipe at the base of the silo and Inject steam until the germs o.f ferment are destroyed, then close the silo. This silage Is canned and remains sweet lndeflnitelyt thus furnish ing green, sweet food during the Jry sea son and all Winter."
