Oregon Boya to Defend
Taconia From Attack.
Gii.VERAL HEADQUARTERS, Ameri
can Lake. Wash., Aug. 12. (Staff Corre
spondence.) Uncle Sam's big fighting
machine here is lolling about camp to
day. The 8000 integral parts of the
brigade mechanism are being given an
opportunity t store up energy for the
wear and tear of a week's campaigning.
This campaign will begin with the sound
ing of reveille. Only such men as are
necessary to carry out the camp routine
are on duty today. The others are lying
in their tents, strolling about in the
woods or swimming in American Lake.
During the next seven days there will
be much loss of avoirdupois. Forced
marches, night bivouacs, skirmish fight
ing and the hundred and one arduous
Incidents of active service will tend to
remove surplus weight and put every
man engaged into fine condition. The
regulars are already hardened and
bronzed, but the guardsmen as yet are
uncolored by the' sun. although tomor
row's campaigning will give them a good
start towards the coveted coloring of a
. veteran.
Oregon Men Favorites.
Oregon's troops are already in favor
with the men of the regular service. Not
even those regiments that have been here
a month are any more comfortably or
more 'fully established than the Oregon
boys. With officers who have studied
the war game and well defined esprit du
corps, the Oregon regiment can readily
lay claim to supremacy over any of the
National Guard organizations here. Those
who visited the various camp sites today
could not help -but note the superior camp
arrangements of the Oregon infantry.
The men had most of the details of
camp completed Saturday night, and yes
terday squads of meg established sani
tary systems, laid water pipe to tap a
reservoir several hundred yards distant
and set up various useful camp utilities.
There was not a single breach of dis
cipline, every order was executed prompt
ly and without delay. The Oregon guard
would have to undergo little improve
ment In order to be mustered into the
regular service.
Troops in every direction are anxious
tor the beginning of mimic warfare to
morrow. The establishment of a camp
may be Interesting and instructive, but
It does not provide the element of excit
ing activity that your soldier craves. He
wants to be in the field, seeking to harass
and defeat some opposing force, even If
It does imply hard marching under a
scorching sun and the missing of an occa
sional meal.
The maneuvering ot tomorrow will be
xf little consequence, however, from the
standpoint of existing features. The skir
'mlshlng will not be in brigade formations,
jit will be left to regimental and battal
:ion commanders to work out their men
.Hn skirmish and scouting work. Tuesday
will be equally devoid of excitement, as
will Wednesday. On Thursday the battle
of the entire encampment will open.
To Defend Taconia.
' It is to Thursday's action that all the
troops are looking forward with eager An
ticipation. The maneuvering Involved will
be unlike any ot the movements engaged
In two years ago. Every man in camp
will be engaged. The forces will be
evenly divided, and the commanders will
have to work out the military problems
Involved as they present themselves. The
general scheme of battle is a defens of
Tacoma from a large Invading army. The
action will continue through Friday and
will necessitate a night in the field under
shelter tent and with the coarsest of
field rations.
Blank ammunition will be used, and,
except that there will be no fatalities, as
a part of the programme, the grim spec
tacle of actual fighting will be presented.
Thousands of visitors from Portland,
Seattle and other points are expected to
oe on hand for this event, the one really
epectacular maneuver of the week.
Select Oregon Men.
It was learned today at general head
quarters that the Oregon infantry regi
inent and separate battalion will be as
signed to the division defending Tacoma.
With the exception of eight companies of
Montana infantry and a troop of Wash
ington cavalry, the other troops of this
brigade will consist of regular Army sol
diers. The regular organizations with
which the Oregon men will co-operate
are: First Battalion of Engineers, First
Battalion Field Artillery, hospital detach
ments, regular Army; Fourteenth In
fantry, Second Cavalry Regiment, Twenty-second
Infantry, Signal Corps detach
ments. All these troops are stationed at
the upper camp, a short distance out of
Murray station.
In the opposing force are the follow
ing troops, all stationed at Nisqually,
five miles southwest of the. Oregon camp:
Fourteenth Cavalry Regiment, Twen
tieth Infantry, Eleventh Battalion Field
Artillery. Seventh Infantry, Third Infan
try, Second Washington Infantry. First
Idaho Infantry, Washington Hospital
Corps.
Soldiers Join in Song.
Impressive religious services "were held
in the Oregon camp this evening at dusk.
Chaplain Gilbert had church call sounded
at 7 P. M., and every man and officer in
camp not on guard detail Kttended the
services,, which were held at a pictur
esque spot under a clump of knotted
scrub oak. The Third Oregon Band
played a conoert of sacred and patriotic
music, and most of the men joined jn the
song service that was made a part of
this programme. Chaplain Gilbert deliv
ered a brief sermon, suitable to the time
and place. Following church, there were
Impromptu singing services throughout
the camp until call to quarters sounded.
Early in the morning the Oregon rifle
team will start on its journey to Seagirt,
N. J., to participate in the National
shooting tournament at that point, which
takes place in September. General Flnzer
and Major F. 3. Baker instructed the
members of the team this evening to
make preparations for departure. The
team will go direct from here t5 Orrlllla,
Wash., where it will stop oft for a week
of practice work on the military rifle
range at that point. It will then proceed
to Seagirt.
Men Dead Shots.
Eighteen men are assigned to this expe
dition. General Flnzer and Major Baker
will be in charge. They will leave camp
with the determination of returning from
New Jersey with one of the National
trophies for marksmanship. They have
reason to anticipate success, since 11
members of the team are admittedly dead

shots. At a recent tryout they made an
average score of 49 points out of a pos
sible 50 at the rapid-fire shooting over a
200-yard range.
In the skirmish firing the team aver
ged 87 points out of a possible 100. and
at slow firing 90 points out of 100. Major
Baker, coach of the team and a marks
man of ability, will develop a 12th ex
pert out of the four, extra men who will
accompany the team. He intends to go
right after one or more of the trophies
and to establish a record for the Oregon
marksmen. The trophies have never been
captured by a Western rifle team.
There were a number of minor cases of
sickness In the Oregon camp today, their
ailments having been brought on by the
change from city to camp life and the
consequent change of home rations for
coarse Army fare. Colonel Gantenbeln
was among those afflicted, but he was
able to direct the construction of the
camp, and this evening was entirely recovered.

Schillers Beaten in Game for
City Championship.
SIEBELS IN GREAT FORM
His Curves Insoluble to Clgarmak
ers, and Maroon Players Put
Up a Great Game In
the Field. -
The Bratnard Maroons yesterday after
noon crested the title of amateur cham
pions of the city from the hitherto un
defeated Schillers by a score of 4 to 1.
The victory was clean and decisive
Hugo Siebels, in the box for the Maroons,
was an Insoluble puzzle to the Schillers,
and It was only through great luck that
they escaped a whitewash. For eight
innings Siebels held his opponents help
less, and it was only in the last inning,
that, after ho had received a severe blow
from a pitched ball on his working arm,
he let up. In the last session the Schillers
chased over one run on a hit by Burns
and a wild throw by Mangold.
On the other hand, the Maroons pom
meled Rich Parrot rather freely, and
gave their own twlrler great support. At
critical times there was not a hole in the
Maroon infield, while ever5thing was pie
to the outfielders. McPherson, In center
field, did clever work for the Bralnards,
cutting off several dangerous drives with
the ease' of a leaguer. Joe Mangold, at
third base, played a steady game, and,
with the exception of hia single miscue,
was steady at all stages.
Not till the seventh Inning did either
side chase over a tally. Here McPherson
drew a walk, was forced to second and
came in on a hit from Slebel's bat. Alec
Oliver made a fairly good return of Sle
bel's drive, but Slavin misjudged it, and
McPherson tallied without trouble. In
the ninth three singles In a row by the
Maroons and loose work by the cigarmak.

ers allowed three runs to come across,
which practically cinched the result. In
this inning Siebels was hit hard on the
wrist, but he gamely went in and held
the Schillers down to a single run.
Ed Rankin and Buck Keith gave per
fect satisfaction as umpires, and a large
crowd of 1200 people was well satisfied
with the game, which was exciting
throughout. There will probably be no
more amateur ball for some time, as the
big leaguers come back this week for an
extended stay. Yesterday's score:

AN OLD TIMER
lias Had Experiences.
A woman who haa used Postum Food
Coffee since lt came upon the market
eight years ago, knows from experience
the, necessity of using Postum in place
of coffee, if one values health and a
steady brain.
She says: "At the time Postum was
first put on the market I was suffering
from nervous dyspepsia and my physician
had repeatedly told me not to use tea or
coffee. Finally I decided to take his ad
vice and try Postum, and got a sample
and had it carefully prepared, finding it
delicious to the taste. So I continued its
use and very soon its beneficial effects
convinced me of its value, for I got well
of my nervousness and dyspepBia.
"My husband had been drinking coffee
alt his life, until 1t had affected his nerves
terribly. I persuaded him to shift to
Postum, and it was easy to get hm io
make the change, for the Postum is so
delicious. It certainly worked wonders
for him.
"We soon learned that Postum does not
exhilarate or depress, and does not stimu
late, but steadily and honestly strength
ens the nerves and the stomach. To
make a long story short, our entire
family rave now had Postum for etgfit
years with completely satisfying results,
as shown In our fine condition of health,
and we have noticed a rather unexpected
improvement in brain and nerve power."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
Increased brain and nerve power al
ways follow the use of Postum in place
of coffee, sometimes In a very marked
manner.
