CAMP WILLIAMS. July 18. (Staff cor
respondence.) The Oregon National
Guard is now -well settled for Its annual
outlngr and the encampment promises to
"bo the most successful in the history of
the organization. Tho several companies
turned in their reports today, and the
percentage of attendance at this encamp
ment is the best on record, 79 per cent of
the total strength of the brigade, being
represented. Tho reports -were as follows:
Thfrcf "Regiment, from Portland, 77 per
cent; Fourth, from Willamette "Valley
points, 78 per cent; First Separate Bat
talion, from Eastern Oregon, 80 per cent;
Troup A, cavalry, from Lebanon, 94 per
cent; Light Battery A, from Portland,
S4 per cent, and the Signal Corps, from
CorvaTils. 68 per cent Tho officers of the
eevefal companies express themselves as
pleased "with tho work of the men.
Today's routine work wa3 performed
promptly, and in the evening a large
crowd witnessed the review by General
Beebe, which was followed by the dress
parade. Tomorrow thef troops will be re
viewed by Mayor George H. Williams, of
Portland. About 11 o'clock this morning
the camp -was given an agreeable surprise
when the Third Regiment performed tho
very beautiful "ceremony of the colors,
and the two handsome ensigns, tho Stars
and Stripes, and the state emblem, which
had been formally presented to the regi
ment, -were officially turned over to them.
All on Hand lor Assembly.
Promptly at 5 o'clock every one was out
of bed and reported for assembly. Some
of the boys wore a long facet and seemed
to think that camp life was not what it
is said to be. An investigation of their
troubles, however, showed that in their
late arrival they had made no prepara
tions for sleeping other than on the .hard
ground, and that the bed was not the
kind they had been used to at home. A
detachment was sent out to rustle hay,
and tonight the boys will enjoy better
rest.
Soon the camp was all alive and mo
ing. one company drilling, here a squad
with rakes and tools cleaning up tho
camp, and by noon It was neat and clean.
Another detachment "was putting up tho
extra, tents, .fixing up tho officers' head
quarters, making a stable for their horses,
etc., and tonight the camp has an ap
pearance of one that has been estab
lished for some time, so well is every
thing arranged. The fact that the camp
was not thoroughly organized led some
of tho moro adventuresome to think that
they could run the lines last night, and
there were some thrilling experiences to
be told in camp this morning.
"How did you get in so late last night?"
asked one.
"Oh. that was a hard task. I thought
that e would be allowed out last night,
and when I saw that the guards were
there I was afraid that I couldn't get
in. I laid down and worked my "way
slowly, and Anally managed to make it."
"I was caught," said another, "and I
thought that it was all off with me,
but I explained it was all right, and I
did not have to go -to the guardhouse."
"TarnInff Over the Colors.
At the review and dress parade in the
evening there was a large crowd pres
ent, and much interest was taken, but
the event which was perhaps the most ap
preciated during the day by the officers
and soldiers was the ceremony of the
colors bythe Third Regiment. They have
two very handbome. silk flags that ihave
been presented to them by the state, and
of which they are very proud. These
had never been officially presented to
the regiment, and yesterday, without say
ing anything to the rest of the camp,
Colonel -.Everett arranged to give this
ceremony" and have the- flags officially
turned oyer.
The entire regiment was formed In line
on the drill grounds and turned over to
Colonel Everett,. nvhen tho ceremony ol
the colors was performed. Tho Colonel
detailed Company F, under command of
Captain Baker, to receive and escort the
colors to their place In line. The escort
was formed in columns of platoons with
the regimental band In front and Charles
F. Kinney arfc Victor Johnson bearing
the colors between the platoons. The es
cort then marched without music to the
Colonel's tent, formed In line, faced the
entrance and halted, the band on the right
and tha-color-bearers next in the line. The
color-bearjenf, preceded, by tho First Lieu
tenant and, tho Sergeant of tho escort,
went to receive the colors. Proudly bear
ing the flags and followed by the Lieu
tenant and Sergeant the color-bearers ad
vanced and halted before the entrance,,
facing the escort. The Lieutenant placed
himself on the right, the Sergeant on the
left of the colors, and, amid patriotic
strains from the band, the escort came to
"present arms." Arms were then brought
to "carry," and the Lieutenant and Ser
geant returned to their posta Tho com
pany then executed "platoons right' the
band taking its position in tront of the
column. The color-bearers took their po
sitions, between the platoons, arms- were
brought to "right shoulder," and the
escort marched in quick time -with guide
left, back to the regiment, while the air
was filled with strains of inspiring music
from the regimental band.
The march was so conducted that when
the escort arrived 50 paces in front of
the fright of the regiment tho direction
of its march was parallel to Its front.
When the colors arrived opposite their
place in line the escort -formed in lino to
the left and halted. The cojor-bearers,
their ensigns proudly waving, passed be
tween the platoons, advanced and halted
12 paces in front of the Colonel. The
Colonel, who was stationed 30 paces in
front of the center of his regiment, faced
about and gave the command, "present
arms," saluted, and as the field music
sounded "to the color," the color-bearers
returned the .colpr salute, and took
their places with the color company. The
regiment was brought to a rest as the
escort - passed the left of line, and the
color -guard escorted tho colors to the
Colonel's tent.
General Beebe Conducts Review.
This evening theepmmand of the entire
brigade was turned over to the senior
Colonel, G. O. yoran, of the Fourth Regi
ment, and at 6:15 was reviewed by Gen
eral Beebe. It was an Inspiring sight as
the entire brigade stood arrayed as if for
battle and the General with his staff rode
C
upland down among the men and critic
ally surveyed them. General Beebe was
pleased with the showing that hid brigade
made, as well as with the way the entire
work of the camp has been conducted.
At 7:30 the dress parade was given by
all of the Infantry. The parade was re
viewed by Colonel Yoran and the boys
made a good showing. Tomorrow Colonel
Everett will review the parade and he and
Colonel Yoran will take the work, even
ing about, during the encampment. On
Sunday afternoon the review and parade
will be given early, in order tnat the peo
ple who will come in from the outside on
excursions will be able to see them be
fore their trains go out.
In response to an Invitation from Gen
eral Beebe. Dr. E. P. Hill, of Portland,
will conduct services Sunday morning.
Hackelman's Grove has been chosen as
the place to hold the meeting on ac
count of shade trees there add the lack
of shade at thoir present camping
grounds.
Camp Xotes.
The Fourth Regimental band put In the
morning practicing, and the music cannot
be beat.
Adjutant-General C. U. Gantenbeln and
Inspector-General Colonel James Jackson
arrived in camp today noon.
The officers all have their tents well ar
ranged and nicely decorated, but none
of them comes up to Colonel Everett's.
Arrangements hae been made to pump
water Irom a well near by, and thero is
now an abundant supply of good water.
A big excursion is expected on Sunday,
and extensive preparations are being mado
to receive tho many people that are ex
pected to come.
The old Orphans' Homo that stands On
tho camp grounds Is an" excellent place
for the officers' headquarters, and is very
popular, as it Is the only shade near the
camping grounds.
Constant work is required to keep the
camp looking at all clean, as the air Is
filled with dust all of the time. Guards
are stationed and do not allow any traffic
on any of tlje roads near them, but they
cannot stop the travel on the county
road and the dust blows from there.
MONEY XOT FOR EXCAMP3IEOTT.
Why Dunbar Held $4003 Belonged to
the General Fnnd.
SALEM, July 18. Tho difference of opin
ion between Adjutant-General Gantenbeln
and Secretary of State Dunbar regarding
the disposition of 14693 claimed for trio
Military Board, has created considerable
Interest in military circles. The decision
of tho Attorney-General, upholding the
Secretary of State's view that the money
belongs in the general fund, was followed
by an order from the Adjutant-General
cutting the period of the National Guard
encampmont from eight days to six days.
The result to the state at large will bo
that $4693 less will be spent on tho en
campment. J
The sum of money mentioned was paid
to the State of Oregon by the General
Government to reimburse the state for
money paid as per diem to members of the
National Guard who presented themselves
for enlistment for service In tho Spanish
War, but were rejected. Previous to that
time the General Government had paid
the state for transportation, supplies and
other expenses incurred by the. state on
account of the Oregon volunteers mus
tered into the service. That sum was
placed to the credit of the Military Board,
and it was held that the money paid for
those rejected should also go to the mili
tary fund. The Secretary of State could
not see his way clear under the provision
of the act of 18S0 to consider tho 54693 a
part of the military fund.
The title of the act mentions all sums
received from the Government for moneys
paid for transportation, supplies, equip
ment, ammunition, ordnance and other
property furnished by the state to the
Second Regiment, Oregon Volunteers,
mustered in as volunteers in the armies
of the United States. The body of. the
act Is broader and includes per diem, and
also includes expenditures by the -state
in the mobilization and mustering in of
the Second Oregon.
Attorney-General Blackburn's opinion
says that the act might be construed to
include money received from tho Govern
ment on account of sums paid to volun
teers who were rejected, but when consid
ered in connection with the title, he con
cludes that the act was not Intended to
place this money to tho credit of the mili
tary fund. The Military Board's expendi
tures will therefore be limited to the $45,
000 appropriation. ThQ decision is based
upon that clause of tho constitution which
provides that "every act shall embrace
but one subject, and matters properly
connected therewith, which subjects shall
be expressed in the title."
FISH WORKING UP THE RIVER,
Better Catches Came a Drop In the
Price nt Astoria.
ASTORIA, July 18. The run of fish last
night was about the same as the day
previous, although from some quarters
around the mouth of the river the catch
was not so large. Tho fish are working
their -way up the river, as evidenced by
better catches there. The Increase In the
jun has had the effect of Influencing the
price, as it has dropped to 5 cents for all
.sizes of chlnook salmon, but Llndenberger
Is paying 8 cents for a limited number of
fish weighing over 30 pounds. Master
Fish Warden Van Dusen has returned
from a trip to Ontario, on the Snake Riv
er, where there Is a state hatchory. Ho
found Superintendent Brown-busily en
gaged In putting a rack across the river,
and it will be finished y the time the
salmon begin to run up the river.

AUBURN. Wash., July 18. Tracy has

has died down, and, unless the resourco
tul desperado again starts on a pilgrim
age through some section of King1 County,
his name will be forgotten. For a time
this place was the scene of operations.
Since the last failure near Covington, tho
people are beginning to believe Tracy
has bid farewell to Green River Valley,
and decided to give he Pierce County offi
cials an opportunity to chase him for a
time. Several deputies who have followed
the Sheriff on a number of chases through
the mountain Jungles have returned to
Auburn. They seem to hold to the the
ory that Tracy Is concealed somewhere
near Sawyer Lake, and express a will

WHATCOM. Wash., July IS. Tho man
who is believed to have acted as a "atool

him to the lonely cabin on the banks of
Sawyer Like, assuring him that It was
Tracy's hiding place, went from this city,
and his namo is Louts Ward. When his
relatives here learned of what he had
done they telegraphed Sheriff Cudihee
not to pay any attention to the man, as
he Is thoroughly unreliable. They say he
has gained his ideis of man-hunting from
reading 5-cent novels. When he first heard
of the Tracy case he applauded the work
of the convict and expressed the hope
that he would ultimately secure his free

ASSESSORS COMPLETE WORK.
Marlon County Valuations Will Be
About the Same a Lant Year.
SALEM, July 18. The Deputy Assessors
in Marlon County have completed their
field work of placing valuations upon
property and are now at work preparing
the assessment roll. From a casual in
spection of the records, it appears that
property valuations will bo about the
same this year sa In 1901. though the total
valuation of property In the county will
be larger on account of many Improve
ments that have been made. In 1901 the
assessment valuations Were about 15 per
cent greater than In 1900, the Increase
having been made in order to bring the
assessed valuo nearer to the actual value.
Assessor Lembcke is using the same sys
tem of listing property on the assessment
roll that was in msc last year. By this
system the property Is listed according to
Ita location, and not in the alphabetical
order of the names of owners. To make
the record of tracts of real property In
this way entails considerably more work
upon both the Assessor and tho Sheriff,
but it enables every man to ascertain
whether property has been equitably as
sessed. Under the' present system, the
assessment of a farm owned by Adams
will appear upon the same page as the
valuation of an adjoining farm owned by
Smith. It can be learned at a glance
whether adjoining property has been as
sessed upon the same baste. Under the
system formerly In use tracts of land were
listed without regard to location.
The law requires that the assessment
roll be completed by August 25, though
the County Court may extend the time 20
days. The assessment roll of Marion
Cpunty wll be ready August 25, unless
something occurs to Interfere with the
work.

Plea of Not Guilty.
MARSHFIELD. Or.. July 15. (To the
Editor.) In an editorial In The -Orcgo-nian
of July 12 you make another mis
statement when you say, "Oftcntlmeo for
weeks together, owing to the difficulties
of the Coos Bay entrance, the whole region
has been literally bottled up and corked
down." The writer of your editorial must
have awakened from a Rip Van Winkle
sleep and Imagines things are now as they
were 23 years ago. If your Rip Van Win
kle editorial writer will ask the captain
of the Alliance, who has been making reg
ular trips between San Francisco and
Portland for many ycare. he will ascertain
that the place where he has been bottled
up has been at the Columbia River. It
looks to people at Coos Bay as if The
Oregonlan was trying to head off a pro
posed railroad to Coos Bay. We are not
pleased to have these misstatements con
stantly being made, knowing well that It
is a long race In which the truth over
takes an untruth. C. W. TOWER.

SPOKANE, July 18.-Tbe Spokane Coun
ty Republican convention today Instructed
Its Legislative delegation to support John
L. Wilson for the United States Senate,
and to stand by him until released by
unanimous consent. The Wilson forces
controlled the convention at every point,
and once only did the majority break
away from them when the convention in
dorsed the railroad policy of Governor
McBrfde by declaring for "a Railway
Commission, which shall consist of three
members to be appointed by the Gover
nor, with power to fix, regulate and con
trol freight and passenger rates; to ob
tain and furnish Information as to val-:es
to county officials for the purpose of taxa
tion; to prevent unjust discriminations,
and to remedy and correct abuses when
found to exist."
The delegates to the state convention
are Instructed to "use all honorable means
to procure the foregoing or a similar res
olution to be Inserted In the state plat
form." Governor McBrldo and Mr. Wilson
addressed the convention. The following
tlckot was nominated:
For State Sonators, Frank D. Shaw, J.
A. Schiller; Representatives. George H.

Today's victory for the Wilson W.ng
shows how thorough has been the organ
ization of the forces under hlo control,
especially when guided by his brother,
Henry L. Wilson, United States Minister
to Chile. Months ego. Wilson began re
pairing his fences, which had been badly
demoralized. Three weeks ago, Henry
Wllson returned, and gave his personal
attention to the campaign. He lined up
many of the wavering ones, and the re
sult of Tuesday's primaries Indicated that
'the. convention would be Wlkon in every
respect.
Last night, a new question came up
when Governor McBrlde arrived and In
sisted on the incorporation of a Railway
Commission plank In the platform. Many
of the Wilson men, -while loyal to him,
were determined to support the rallway
plank. and at a late ijour the Wilson
forces agreed to nllow a railway resolution
to go through, provided they were given
their choice for chairman. Alonzo Murphy,
without opposition. This was agreed to,
and the railway resolution was carried
unanimously.
Governor McBrlde expre?es himself as
greatly pleased with the carrying of the
resolution, and In his speech today laid
much stress on thl3 point. There were no
close fights on county offices. Nearly all
of the nominees are WDeon men, and
won on the first ballot, br by acclamation.
In general, the convention was harmoni

Philadelphia Record.
"The modern up-to-datp church." said
an architect who 13 now working on plans
for a large suburban place of worship,
"has many equipments that were not
thought of several yearo ago. It may
sound strange to apeak of a safo In a
church, especially in view of the old say
ing, 'as safe as a church.' And yet quite
a number of churches now have safes In
them; not necessarily to keep money In.
for church funds are usually kept else
where, but for the preservation of books
and records, together with the silver plate
that is often of great value. The average

of gold where the congregation Is a very
rich one. A safe guards against fire as
well as burglars and has now come to be
regarded as quite essential."

wonder why I have cured, to stay cured, more than 700 cases of VARICO
CELE during the past 12 months. Under mv treatment the patient improves
from the very beginning. All pain Instantly ceases. Soreness and swelling
quickly subside. The pools of stagnant blood are forced from the dilated
veins, which rapidly assume their normal slz, strength and soundness. All
Indications of disease and weakness vanish completely and forever, and In their
te&d comes the pride, the power, and the pleasures of perfect health and
restored manhood.

CRUSHED BY A MONOPOLY.

New York Post.
A recent French trial shows how mo
nopoly works even in the pawnbroking
business. The police authorities brought
suit in the Eleventh Correctional Court
of Paris against a group of persons who
acted as agents for various money-lender-,
and pawnbrokers established In Lon
don. The action was In the Interests of
the Mont do Flete de Paris, the French
pawnbroking association, which 13 a mo
nopoly, and under government supervis
ion Persons desirous of pledging their
Jewels and other valuables found that
they could obtain much better terms for
loans with well-known London firms than
at the state-3upervised establishments In
France, and. to meet the situation, a
number of agencies were created In Paris,
which undertook tho business of pledg
ing tho articles In England. The Mont de
Plete complained of this competition, and
their plea is that it was an infringement
of their monopoly was upheld by the
court. The defendants wero six In num
ber. Two were sentenced to three
months' Imprisonment and 10.000 francs
fine each, and the other four to fines of
80,000 francs each. Another defendant, who
did not appear, was sentenced by default
to two years Imprisonments and 5000
francs fine. The Mont- de Plete was
awarded the franc damages which It
claimed as civil parties to the case. The
fines thus inflicted amount to about $30,
000. It is understood that some of the
defendants are Englishmen

There Is a certain cure for thess dis

And-'nll Gcnito-Uniary Diseases
It affords Instant relief. I remove every
vestige of disease wltohut resorting to
those painful processes usually employed
and which do not give satisfaction. It Is
not reasonable to suppose that a man can.
exercise the essential functions while tho
urinary channel Is blocked by stricture
or other disease, which destroys the vital
power and which becomes more aggravated
under Improper treatment. Those diseases,
while thes last, always detract from the
sxual and bladder functions, and an early
cure Is alwajs advisable.
