Best Marksmen in Oregon
National Guard to Com
pete at Salem.
KEEN RIVALRY DISPLAYED
Every Company City in State, Except
The Dalles and Dallas, Repre
sented in Annual Shoot
for Military Trophies.
CAMP RUGE, Or., July 19. (Staff
Correspondence.) One hundred Nation,
al Guard riflemen, the best marksmen
of the state, are under canvas here to
day, awaiting the opening of the an
nual rifle competition of the Oregon
Rational Guard, which begins bright
and early tomorrow morning. Every
Infantry company in the state, except
ing The Dalles and Dallas, is repre
sented by a team of five men, and
every team is here, determined to share
in the trophies, prizes and decorations
which are the reward of superior skill
in marksmanship. All this week the
crack of rifles will be the predominat
ing sound hereabouts. The firing each
morning of the competition will begin
as early as 6 o'clock, and will continue
as long as light permits. The actual
competitions will continue from 8 A. M.
until 6 P. M. each day, the additional
time being allowed for practice work.
Unusual interest attaches to this
year's shoot, from the fact that the new
Springfield service rifle is being used,
and in addition, there will be a well
defined struggle for supremacy between
the Third and Fourth Infantry Regi
ments. While this struggle will mani
fest iteelf throughout, it will find Its
zenith in the Governor's trophy match,
wherein teams of eight picked men rep
resenting each regiment will try Tor
regimental supremacy, the winning
team to take the- handsome trophy espe
cially selected and designed for the
event.
South Has Fine Shots.
Southern Oregon is represented by
formidable riflemen, some of the very
best shots of the Coast hailing from
Roseburg, Eugene, Cottage Grove and
Ashland. Portland and other Third In
fantry stations are represented by an
array of experts, who are well able to
give the best possible account of them
selves in any sort of a competition, and
while these men have been handicapped
to a large extent by improper ranee fa
cilities for practice, their chances in
4he Governor's trophy match are excel
lent. The Third Infantry is confident
of victory: the Fourth is equally sure,
and nobody Is offering odds either way.
The contest will be worth travelling
far to see.
The competitions open In the morning
with the state trophy match, for com
pany championship. There will be slow
fire at 200 and 600 yards, and rapid fire
et 200. The prize is a silver cup to
be held until won in three successive
competitions, when it becomes company
property.. This will be followed by the
state medal match, which likelj will be
reached late in the afternoon, or before
noon of Tuesday. It is open to all
members competing for the state tro
phy. The distance will be similar and
the prize will be a gold medal.
State Individual Match.
The state individual match, a rifle
event of the greatest importance, will
follow, opening possibly on Wednesday
If not late Tuesday. It will open with
a skirmish run, followed by 200-yard
rapid fire, and then 200, 600, 800 and
1000 yards slow. A gold medal will
awarded the competitor making the
highest aggregate score. Five silver
medals and five bronze medals will also
be awarded In this match.
Then will follow the Governor's tro
phy match, with rapid fire at 400 yards
and slow fire at 800 and 1000,. and this
in turn will be succeeded by an Innova
tion In the Oregon Guard, by way of a
state pistol match, open to all commis
sioned officers. There have been an
unexpectedly large number of entries
for this event.
With the arrival this afternoon of
the Roseburg delegation, all competing
teams are now In camp. Teams have
been coming In for the last four days,
the Third Infantry teams coming early
In order to get practice on the long
ranges, which are not Included in the
Portland range. General satisfaction is
expressed with the Salem range, which
has been remodeled and put in shape
for the state shoot.
Rifle Camp Is Ideal.
An ideal camp has been established
by Captain L. K. Knapp, the tents being
pitched in an orchard with the Willam
ette River in the Immediate background
one mile west of Salem. The caanp
equipment and the mess facilities are of
the best, and complaint Is not possible
even from those known as most accom
plished grumblers.
Adjutant-General W. E. Finzer. as ex
ecutive officer, has general supervision
of the camp and' competition, and he
has left no detail of the preliminary ar
rangements unattended to. He has
adopted the rules used by the National
Board for the Promotion of Rifle Prac
tice governing, the National rifle com
petition for 1908. and these rules will

TO HIGH POINT
Yesterday Equals Record Hot
Days of Present
Summer.
THERMOMETER REACHES 92
Reports From Various Cities of State
Show Conditions Are Even
More Torrid in the In
terior Xo Prostrations.
Oregon's hot weather record for 190
was equalled locally yesterday when the
thermometer registered 92 degrees. Be
tween 11 A. M. and 3 P. M. the tempera
ture increased 10 degrees or from 83 to
92 degrees, continuing stationary at the
latter point until after 6 o'clock. The
same temperature was recorded on two
previous occasions this Summer, as fol
lows: June 30 and July 7. No prostra
tions from the heat, however, were re
ported during the day.
The degree of heat varied in different
sections of the state. The highest tem
perature was recorded at The Da fie
where a thermometer on one of the bluffs
surrounding the city registered 108 de
grees. In the business district the ther
mometers averaged about 104 degrees. In
the Southern part of the state the heat
was not so oppressive. Eugene reported
a temperature around 96 degrees.
Decidedly more tropical weather was
experienced at Jacksonville in the ex
treme Southern part of the state where
the maximum temperature for the day
was 104 degrees. At Albany the people
sweltered while the thermometer hovered
around the 99-degree point. Salem had
96 degrees, Corvallis, 100; Pendleton, 100;
while McMlnnville remained cool with
thermometers at 88.
Portland people took to shady nooks
and sequestered spots yesterday and en
deavored to escape the tropical heat of
the city. Every excursion boat which
left the city was crowded almost to the
limit and launches, sailboats and row
boats of every class -and build were
pressed into service. Picnic parties dotted
the river banks between Portland and
Vancouver and Portland and Oregon
City.
The steamer Beaver left the Couch
street dock with 200 members of a Ger
man society. The crowd was prepared
for a good time. The steamer J. N. Teal
left the Oak-street dock with 200 mem
bers of the M. A. A. C., who were bound
for the Lewis River oh an annual Low
Jinks. . The Teal returned to Portland at
6:30 P. M.
The capacity of the steamer Bailey
Gatzert was taxed almost to the limit.
She sailed from Portland for the Cascade
Locks with 600 passengers on board. On
the river there was a breeze blowing
which tempered the superheated atmo
sphere to a pleasant degree. Sun burned
faces and hands were features of the day.
Unlike ftfrmer warm days of the Sum
mer, it continued hot 'all last night. Peo
ple about the city who work until late
in the morning went home at 2 and 3
o'clock this morning with their coat's off.

what they liked about heaven and hell,

place. Rev. Mr. Ghormley went on to
say that though men may deny the ex
istence of an intellectual hell, lack of
preparation for it would cause them to
find it.- The same thing was true, he
said, of the moral hell as well.
MAROONED IN FAR NORTH
MARSH FI ELD, Or., July 19. One of the
most destructive fires in the history of
Coos Bay occurred at North Bend this
morning at about 1 o'clock in the Clark
Woolen Mills building. The flames had
gained such headway before water could
be got to th hmWf th-t ' '--stroyed,
with all Its contents. The strue--ture
was 280 feet long by 70 feet wide aud
tnree stories high. liiere was also a
large boiler and engine-room and large
dry sheds. The plant was one of the
best equipped on the Coast, the build
ing and machinery being valued at $80,000.
There was no insurance on the property.
The mill has not been operated for the
past two years. It was built in 1S03. It
was owned by the Simpson Lumber Com
pany. E. M. Ward, dealer in machinery and
logging supplies had a $25,000 stock on the
lower floor which was totally destroyed '
with only $1000 insurance, he having al
lowed a $10.000 policy to lapse about two
weeks ago, intending every day to have
It renewed. The Bevier Engine Works,
dealers in gasoline engines and boats,
also occupied part of the lower floor.
Their loss is estimated at $4000 with $2000
Insurance. The Simpson Lumber Com
pany, the owners of the mill, had about
$15,000 worth of wire rope and cable stored
on the lower floor, which was rendered,
valueless by the fire. It was without
any Insurance. The North Bend ShingU

WASHINGTON. July 19. (Special.)
Seal Agents Judge and Clark, who have
