match, the state medal match and the
beginning of the individual match marked
today's activity on the state rifle range
in the annual rifle competition. Every
, event went off without a moment of un
necessary delay and a new record was
' established in the time of completing the
trophy match.
After one of the hardest-fought battles
ever witnessed on an Oregon range, Com
' pany M. of Salem, increased its lead of
' yesterday and carried away the handsome

hard, lost heavily on the final range, 600
yards slow fire, and took third place.
Company D, the crack team from Rose
burg, pulling Into second position.
Portland Team Is Fourth.
Notwithstanding a bit of very hard
luck, Company K, of Portland, took
fourth place. This team was forging
well up to the front, and as winner of
the trophy a year ago at Roseburg, was
being watched with some alarm by the
leading teams, when one of the K rifle
men. Corporal Ptomaine, got his "dope"
books mixed, and was taking Improper
observations on range condition's
through half his string before noting
the error. Five ciphers stood on his
score card when he changed books and
got on the target.
Salem got away with the gold medal

of Portland, got third place, with a
; score of 117, winning over Private Bet
Shields, of Roseburg, who had 117, but

For Regimental Supremacy.
At this time the Third Infantry has
something of a lead In the struggle
for honors, but regimental supremacy
for 1908 will be decided once for all in
the Governor's trophy match. This
match will be taken up Thursday.
Teams. of eight men will represent each
command, and the Une-up has not yet
been settled on. It is contended by the
Southern Oregon riflemen that when It
comes' to selecting so large a number
of marksmen they have the Third Reg
iment at a disadvantage, but no one
has been discovered hunting for bets
on the fourth or on the Third for that
matter. One thing sure, the match will
be the most important, the most inter
esting and the hardest fought rifle
competition ever held in Oregon.
Friday or Saturday at the latest, will
bring the 1908 shoot to an end. The
final event will be the revolver compe
titions, open to officers.-
Plan MHHnry Ball.
Salem is entertaining the officers
and men on duty at the range at such
times as they are not on the firing
line. A Salem band serenaded the
camp last night and many visitors
viewed the range. A military ball hr.s
been arranged for Thursday night by
the Salem Board of Trade and all the
camp received invitations today.

Compulsory Attendance Increases
Enrollment at Umatilla.
PEKDLETON. Or., July 21. (Special.)
Oregon's compulsory education law has
resulted in an Increased attendance In
the public schools of Umatilla county at
least, as is shown by the annual report
of the County School Superintendent,
completed yesterday.
This shows that the number of persons
in the county of school age is 6231, while
4597 have been regularly enrolled in the
86 school districts in the county. This
report shows a percentage of 90.39 for
dally average attendance. This Is an in
crease over last year of more than 10
per cent, and this Increase is wholly at
tributed to the complsory education law,
for while there were no criminal prose
cutions as the law provides, there were
a large number of cases In which parents
were warned, but in which the warnings
were sufficient.

Eugene Council ' Closes Deai
With Willamette Valley
. Company.
LONG CONTEST IS ENDED
Municipal Ownership Sow Reality in
University Town City Proposes
to Issue $500,000 Bonds tor.
Improvements to System.
EUGENE, Or., July 2L (Special.) The
City of Eugene purchased today of the
Willamette Valley Company, the water
system that is used in supplying the city.
Negotiations have been pending for some
time and last evening A. Welch came In
to go over the situation with the Coun
cil and make the transfer which was com
pleted this afternoon. The price paid
was $140,000.
This move on the" part of the Council
will be unanimously approved by the
citizens of Eugene, because it means
municipal ownership of the water system,
for which the people here have been
striving for several years. The gain to
the city In this deal is expressed In the
fact that it eliminates at once the ele
ment of competition, and secures a plant
which will bring in revenue from the day
it is taken over. Furthermore the trans
fer of the system includes some property,
including Skinner's Butte, which is valu
able asset, and which will eventually
make a beautiful park in the heart of
the city.
At the next meetng of the Council, the
second step will be taken toward the
completion of the gravity system, when
an ordinance will be passed calling for
an election to pass upon a charter amend
ment, which will authorize the Council to
issue water bonds to the amount of
$500,000, or so much of this amount as is
necessary to complete the big gravity
system upon which permanent surveys
are now being made.
The people of Eugene, last Fall, passed
an amendment authorizing the issue of
$300,000 of water bonds. At that time the
estimates that were given for the con
struction of the gravity system contem
plated a 16-lnch wooden pipe, for a dis
tance of 22 miles. This estimate was made
about two years ago, but now it is con
sidered wise to have a 24-inch pipe, which
increases the expense some $88,000. The
Council will ask the voters to pass on
the amendment at once so that there will
be no delay in pushing the work on the
gravity Bystem.
By the. terms of the sale, the bonds
will bear interest from July 1, and the
'city will collect all the revenue from
that date. The present managers of
the local water plant will continue in
office until August 1, when a -water
commission from the citizens will be
appointed to take charge.
In connection with the transfer, a
contract was made with the Willamette
Valley Company to furnish electricity
for the pumps used in connection with"
.the system for 1 cents per kilowatt.
The company agrees to furnish all the
power the city can use at this rate.
CHRIST'S PICTURE CORRECT
Bible School Lecturer Presents Ar
gument to Support His Assertion.
ALBANY, Or.. July 21. (Special.)
That the face of Jesus Christ as popu
larly pictured is an accurate likeness
handed down from the Apostolic era,
was the assertion by Rev. Frank A.
Ferris, of Grand Rapids, Mich., in a lec
ture last evening In. the Summer Bible
School of this city. He characterized
as erroneous the general belief that the
pictures of Jesus Christ are not correct
likenesses but are merely the imagina
tions of Italian painters of the Renais
sance. Rev. Mr. Ferris, who has. made an.
exhaustive study of this subject, sup
ported his theory by logical reasoning
and illustrated his lecture by a series
of views showing how the pictures of
Jesus Christ have been handed down
from' the days he was on earth.
The age In which Jesus Christ lived
was a day of ' portraitures, said the
speaker. Likenesses of notable char
acters were made and preserved on
coins and medallions as well as on wax
paintings. Pictures of Augustus Cae
sar, Plato, Demosthenes, Socrates, Cleo
patra and many others have been
handed down from the days In which
they lived.
It was the catacombs, the speaker
said, that had preserved the pictures of
Jesus Christ during the Dark Ages,
when art and science were dead. It is
now a common belief, said Rev.Mr. Ferris,
and one that Is supported by the ma-'
jority of theologians, that the present
pictures of Jesus Christ originated af
ter the Dark Ages In the minds or
gifted painters of the Renaissance era.
But Rev. Mr. Ferris presented pictures or
Christ taken from the historic under
ground chambers of ancient Rome,
which resembled in every detail the
modern painttngs and pictures of Jesus
and his arguments and illustrations
apparently proved conclusively that
the painters who are given credit for
the conception of the pictures of Jesus
Christ merely copied tue old portrait
ures handed down from the days when
he was on earth.
Increased attendance was noted at
the Summer Bible School today.
Classes In all of the regular courses
were held as usual and a new course in
"Home Missions" was begun by Rev.
W. S. Holt, of Portland, field secre
tary of Home Missions for the Pacific
Coast. A. H. Cross, of Toledo, O.,
who has been conducting the course in
Sunday school work, left tonight and
this course will be handled during the
remainder of the school by Professor
R. R. Steele, of Portland, president of
the State Sunday School Association.
President Mock, of Dallas College,
conducted the special conference this
afternoon on "Health and Christian
Healing: What is Legitimate?" This
conference aroused considerable in

for some time and which had Its actual
beginning yesterday in Seattle, when the
unions there refused to work on the
steamer Hyades because she was being
loaded by the McCabe & Hamilton peo
ple. Secretary T. F. Acheson. of the union.
Bays the fight of the stevedores Is for
recognition only. The" present trouble
has no connection with wages or hours. '
"An unrecognized union." Mr. Acheson
declared, "is about as good as no union
at all."
Captain W. Frank Andrews, of the
Washington Stevedoring Company, says
that the policy of the McCabe & Hamil
ton companies has been for the "open
shop ever since the strike of two years
ago. To recognize the union would mean,
he declared, that the closed shop policy
would have to be instituted and many ;
good men whom the company now era
ploys would be made idle.
A meeting of the companies compris
ing the shipping association was hell
yesterday, at which It was decided to
pursue the "open shop" policy In future, .
but not to discriminate against union
labor.
The strike Inaugurated by the Puget
Sound Council did not result In a tut-;
pension of business here today. The;
only vessels affected were the steamers'
Bertha and Montara, which have ore
for the smelter. The union men failed !
to appear, and others were secured to '
replace them.
