Ml'RHAT, Wash., Auir. 4. (Special.)
Uncle Sam's big Pacific Coast fight
ing machine spent today In learning
to advance scientifically through an
enemy's country. The 5000 regular and
National Guard troopa who are par
ticipating in the American Lake man
euvers were perfected in the prelim
inaries of combat such as protecting
a big American army on the march
from raiding and harassing parties and
from sudden surprises or ambuscades,
flank attacks or any of the score of
deadly littie surprises always planned
by an enemy for the reception of in
vaders. The most modern methods were used
and the efficiency of the regulars and
National Guardsmen scainst surprise
revealed the service aoility of a joint
American army In the field. Notwith
standing the absence of blank ammu
nition, a definite enemy and the ele
ment of routine instruction, all par
ticipating troops showed the greatest
interest and enthusiasm. And this un
der a sweltering sun. with the ther
mometer well up in the 90s and miles
of hard marching necessitated by the
exercises.
Enemy Purely Theoretical.
While all the troops worked Inde
pendently, and the enemy in every In
stance was purely theoretical, each or
ganization made use of the other's
maneuvering movements and before re
call sounded there were very few men
who could not tell from a distant
cloud of dust whether it was raised
by infantry, cavalry or artillery. With
nothing visible to the eye, even through
field glasses, other than a dim line of
dust on the horizon, tne feat of say-
lng with certainty what character of
troops were there might seem to bor
der on the occult, but the solution Is
very simple, for observant tacticians
'have learned that, with some varia
tions, a thick and low cloud of dust
Indicates Infantry, a high and thin
'cloud cavalry and a broken scattered
cloud artillery or wagon trains. Tricks
of war such as this were learned and
put to use by the score.
Oregon Troops Honored. .
Both the Third and Fourth Oregon
Tnfantry Regiments took the field as ad-
Vance guards to brigades, while most of
the other commands confined themselves
to work of a less ambitious nature, such
as company and battalion work. The
Oregon troops moved from camp at 2
P. M-. following a morning of battalion
close order drills. The Third Infantry,
commanded by Colonel C. E. McDonell,
marched south and the Fourth Regiment,
Colonel George O. Yoran, southwest. The
character of country to be dealt with
was very similar for both regiments, a
succession of broad swales set off by
cullies and patches of heavy timber.
Both commands carried out the work
without a hitch In orders and there were
few mistakes In execution. Colonel Mc
XoneIl of the Third and Colonel Toran
of the Fourth learned the game during
the Philippine campaign, where the ene
my was not only tangible, but very much
alive and full of tricks.
Kepnlar Officers Approve.
On account of Its much larger fighting
force, interest centered largely on the
advance and rear guard movements of
the Third Infantry, and a large number
of Regular Army officers accompanied
the Third, expressing themselves as more
than satisfied with the showing made.
The command marched from camp a few
minutes after 2 o'clock and formed as ad
vance guard to a theoretical brigade ad
vancing on a hostile force whose position
was- known only in a general way to be
some place south of Camp Stanley.
The vanguard was assigned to command
of Major John L May, who at once de
ployed his advance party and organized
the supports. Flankers were thrown out
on both sides of the advance party, an
Infantry point was established and the
vanguard. Including the entire First Bat
talion, felt its way across the first broad
clearance of the maneuver grounds a mile
south of camp.
Work of Reserves.
The reserve force, under command of
Major F. S. Baker, took the field at an
Interval of lfW) yards from the vanguard.
Its function being resistance against an
enemy In force should the enemy be de
veloped by the reconnaisance of the van
guard. Major T. N. Punbar was assigned
to command the rear guard, which
marched 100 yards in the rear of the
tactical brigade that was being pro
tected. The rear guard of an advanc
ing army is Important only in checking
daring bands of guerillas and maur
auders. and In defending a retreating
army, when Its service consists In
keeping off an aggressive army and
consequently assumes the greatest Im
portance. Perfect communication was main
tained through the various elements
of the regiment in this maneuver. The
Intervals were made and maintained
without error. Had a brigade been
really dependent on the Third Oregon j

for protection against surprise from
a hostile force. Its safety would have
been In excellont hands. The under
standing displayed by noncommissioned
officers was particularly broad and It
Is safe to say that guard regiments
with a so generally efficient lot of
sergeants and corporals would be hard
to find anywhere In the service.
Skirmishers Make Reports.
Reports were received continually
from the skirmishers, who formed the
point or foremost part of the advance
party. These reports dealt with the
nature of the land and the character
of the territory as far ahead as could
be seen, and all suspicious circum
stances which might Indicate the pres
ence of an opposing force were In
vestigated and reported on. A distant
cloud of dust was made out to the
South and East, and was 'defined as
cavalry because of the thin, high
clouds. Closer approach revealed the
truth of this diagnosis, for the cloud
on closer approach developed into a
squadron of the Fourteenth United
States Cavalry engaged In indepen
dent maneuvers. Similar Instruction
work mostly on a smaller scale, was
conducted by all organizations in camp.
Programme for Today.
Tomorrow will bring further and more
Intricate war lessons. Regimental ex
tended order drill will occupy the fore
noon, while all the afternoon will be de
voted to regimental outposts and recon
noisance. Friday, while a part of the
Instruction period, will see the first seg
regation of the troops Into opposing
forces. The Instruction period ends with
Friday, and after Saturday and Sunday
has been allowed for camp routine work
and resting, the war maneuvers will be
taken up In earnest.
Blank ammunition for the hostility
period has been Issued the various troops.
Oregon Infantrymen drew 50.000 rounds.
East actual combatant will be Issued 65
round. The health of the men continues
excellent, no serious caaes of illness hav
ing developed. Sore feet, fatigue and
disordered stomachs have appeared to a
limited extent, but nothing more.

will resist ln the courts payment of as
sessments for the improvement of that
street between East Thirty-fourth and
Forty-fourth streets, alleging that the
work was not done according to contract
and that the assessments are exorbitant.
A preliminary meeting to discuss the
matter was held last night, but, owing
to the small attendance. It was decided
to hold a'general meeting tonight at the
home of G. H. Beazan, 1100 East Taylor,
when definite plans to resist payment of
assessments will be adopted.
According to Mr. Beazan, probably the
assessments of individual property-owners
would have beeh paid had the work
been properly done. The improvement
has been accepted and property-owners
have received notices showing the
amount -of their assessments, but before
the Improvement was accepted all the
property-owners filed protest against ac
ceptance, which the City Council Ignored.
While the improvement was being made
several of the property-owners say they
protested against the- kind of work being
done and material used, but witnout re
sult. According to the assessment notices re
ceived one block 300 feet long foots up
$2748. One property-owner who has 40
foot frontage Is assessed $260 and another
with 33 1-3 frontage is assessed $162. Jop

sidewalks. It is likely the meeting tonight
will be well attended, as it is said the
property-owners are practically unani
mous In favor of resisting payment of the
street assessments.

REDUCED RATES FOR FAIR

SEATTLE EXPOSITION.
Trustees of Chamber of Commerce
Join in Effort to Secure Low
Schedule West.
At the regular monthly meeting yester
day of the trustees of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce, resolutions were
adopted requesting the Transcontinental
Passenger Association to give the Alas
ka-Yukon-Pacific Exposition the benefit
of the same, or even lower rates, than
those had during the Lewis and Clark
Fair In 1905, with as liberal provision in
the matter of stopovers as prevailed at
that time. This Is a matter in .which
the people of the Pacific Northwest are
Interested as the bringing of people to the
Seattle fair will benefit the entire Coast
section. Furthermore It Is the idea of
the Trustees of the Chamber that when
people come to Seattle they will not only
see the Exposition but the entire Coast
country, and will of course not overlook
Portland. Mr. James Charlton, chair
man of the Transcontinental Passenger
Association, of Chicago, will bo informed
of the Chamber's action.
Several applications for the Indorse
ment of the Chamber of various chari
ties were taken up and thoroughly dis
cussed and ordered Investigated.
At the request of the Commercial Ex
change of Philadelphia, the Trustees re
ferred to the grain standard committee
of the Chamber a question which affects
every grain, dealer and exporter. It
deals with the natural shrinkage of grain
In transit and Is brought up by the Inter
state Commerce Commission in its report
exonerating carriers from any liability
caused by "differences In weights of
grain, seed, or other commodity caused
by natural shrinkage or discrepancies In
elevator weights, etc."
This recommendation of the Commis
sion has been accepted by the Eastern
railroads and they are now deducting
H of 1 per cent and 1 up from the In
voiced weight of receivers or shippers.
The Philadelphia body and the Chicago
Board of Trade on the other hand con
tend there is no logical reason for the de
duction. Their contention is based upon
the fact that any commodity which
would shrink in transit will under certain
conditions increase in weight in transit.

Baker Wants Pastor to Back
Up Charge.
WOULD JOIN IN INSPECTION
Councilman Suggests That Civic
Conditions Be Investigated .Bo
fore Pastor's Threat of Re
call Are Carried Out.
Councilman Baker Is advocating a plan
in which he hopes all of his" colleagues
and other city officials will join. He
wants to invite Dr. J. Whltcomb
Brougher, pastor of the White Temple,
to escort the officials around the city
and point out the awful conditions Dr.
Brougher has said exist. If Dr. Brougher
cannot "make good," then he will be ex
pected to apologize, but If he points out
the places of vice as he has described
them it will devolve upon the Council
and Mayor Lane to remedy matters.
After arraigning the members of the
Council for their alleged antagonism to
every measure that tends to moral bet
terment. Dr. Brougher said that he would
favor an application of the recall to those
who refuse to vote with the reform forces
on vital measures in future. He advo
cated giving them another opportunity to
change their attitude on theBe questions.
If they fail to cast their ballots for
righteousness, he said, the recall law
should be applied. Dr. Brougher was
about to start on his Summer vacation
when he made the denunciation of the
Mayor and Councllmen, and he said that
when he returns In September, if things
are no better, he will institute a recall
movement.
Speaking of Dr. Brougher's remarks,
Mr. Baker said:
"I am willing to be a committee of one
to invite Dr. Brougher to rake a trip
through Portland, and let him show us
these awful places he says exist. When
he returns from his vacation I would
favor an Inspection of the city and let
him point out these conditions if they
abound."
Mayor Lane has declined to enter into
any extended discussion of the situation.
He says, however, that there are some
bad conditions in the city, but pleads
lack of sufficient police force to handle
the situation. He has not criticised Dr.
Brougher because of references made to
the Mayor in the sermon. Mayor Lane
has reports on file and much data to
show that conditions here are vastly
better than when he assumed control of
the Executive office. That the North
End district has been greatly cleansed,
through the police, Is acknowledged. It
la said that the worst pitfalls in the
whole olty are not located In the so-called
North End territory, but in reality are in
downtown centers. Some of tiie hotels.

BIG "COMBINER" SUCCESS
Horsepower Machines Working in
Umatilla Wheat Fields.
WESTON, Or., Aug. 4. (Special.)
Horsepower combined harvesters, so con
structed that they can be used on hilly
ground if necessary, have proven success
ful without exception around Weston this
season. They were introduced here two
years ago, and are now regarded as the
machine of the future. Good cutting
averages have invariably been marie, even
when frequent stops were essential dur
ing the heat of the day, in order to rest
the horses.
Driving 20 horses to a combined har
vester. Invented and manufactured by a
Umatilla County man, Alexander McRae.
J. M. Banister has just finished threshing
his own crop of MO acres, cutting about
22 acres daily. His averaRe yield was 23
bushels. Fifteen of these McRae ma
chines are In use around Weston and
Athena.
The Holt "combiner" requires 2fi horses
and cuts about 2i acres dally. They are
being successfully run In this vicinity by
Price brothers, H. E. Turner. Moses Tay
lor, Greer & De Oraw, A. B. Woods
and others. The following yields are re
ported: F. C. Greer, 33 bushels per acre from
80 acres: H. E. Turner, 2400 sacks of (tl
pound wheat from 166 acres; J. H. and
J. M. Price, 25-bushel average from 300
acres; G. De Graw, 2MB sacks from 165
acres: J. C. Turner, 35 bushels per acre
from SO acres; J. N. York. 29Pfl sacks
from 240 acres at the McMorrls plae.
and 1143 sacks from 66 acres at his home
place: George W. Staggs, 1430 sacks from
92 acres of red chaff wheat, 30 bushels (
per acre from 115 acres of Dale Glory
wheat. J. H. Coffman, 30 bushels per
acre from 2S0 acres. Barley Is a good
crop this year, running from 60 to 75
bushels per acre.
Moses Taylor's 40-bushel yield from a
half-section west of town remains the
record crop for this season. Two years
ago J. M. Banister secured a yield ot
62 bushels per acre from 200 acres in the
same vicinity, and last year 50-bushel
crops were common.
Good Crops in Washington County.
HILLS BORO, Or., Aug. 4. (Special.)
Notwithstanding Washington County has
become first in dairying, there Is still a
large acreage of wheat and oats. Ad
vance reports of the first threshings say
Winter wheat is going 30 bushels to the
acre In North Washington County, and
35 In other localities. The heaviest wheat
yield so far comes from the Tualatin
Plains, where 40. bushels per acre Is re
ported. City Regulates Speed or Autos.
