As for the tcct of endurance, the Guardsmen worked side by side -with the seasoned regulats. and not a man dropped from exhaustion during the miles of forced marching that was ne cessitated by the chancing conditions of combat. And while the Guards offi cers are not generally expected to understand the military game with the breadth of the regular officers, yet the tactice utilized by them in the field was a surp:ii?e. It is conceded that simulated warfare with all regular troops participating could not have been carried on more effectively. Waiting for Night Attack. Tonight the Brown army is biv ouacked in the field five miles south of this point, and a mile south of the line of defense In today's problem. The army was asleep at dusk, except for those on outpost and patrol duty. There will be only a few hours of sleep, and then activities will be resumed. The Blue army Is bivouacked south east of Camp David S. Stanley, having taken that position late in the after noon to recuperate, renew its ammuni tion supply and again maneuver against the enemy under cover of dark ness. Neither army knows the loca tion of the other. The Blue force be lieves Colonel JIcDonell Is still on the line defended today, instead of a mile In the rear, at his base of eupplies. The Brown army, on the other hand, believes the Blue force Is bivouacked In the field west of American Lake. The plan of neither side can be stated at this hour, further than that the Blue army Is intending a second aggressive movement before daylight. Cavalry Slow in Arriving. The extreme mobility In the field of mixed regulars and guardsmen was given the final test when the two brigades mo-ed this morning, and was not found wanting. The Brown army moved from camp at the appointed hour. 7 A. M.. with every part of the big fighting ma chine In well-oiled working condition. There was but one hitch. The cavalry advance failed to report at a given point on the Roy-Steilacoom road at the hour designated. The two troops of the Four teenth United States Cavalry. under Lieutenant Hume, were half an hour late. The brigade moved without this force, an orderly being left behind to hurry them up. The cavalry caught up Just In time to take a position in front of the line of resistance. ' The Third Oregon Infantry headed the column, under Major John L. May, and was followed by the first platoon of Company E. United States Signal Corps, under Lieutenant Hennessy: Battery B. Fourth United States Field Artillery, under Captain Lansing: Third United States Infantry, in command of Lieutenant-Colonel Feblger. and Company B, United States Hospital Corps. JIcDonell Distributes Forces. Arriving at the point of defense, in front of a long timbered ridge four and a half miles south and west of Murray. Colonel McDonell hurriedly distributed his command, placing the Third Infan try on the right, the field battery on the ridge to hold the center and the Third Oregon Infantry on the left. The cavalry was distributed for patrol, scouting and Cossack post duty. One battery of each regiment was posted in reserve, the others deploying at the edge of heavy timber. It was 9:30 A. M. when the Blue brig ade swung out of camp, going around the south end of American Lake In stead of the north, as previously ; planned. Colonel Ghormley pushed his command through as hard as possible. Intent on making an attack before the Brown army got too thoroughly en- trenched. In the van of his main col 1 umn was the Second Washington In : fantry, followed by the First United iStates Infantry under Major Mann; the I Fourth Oregon under Lieutenant-Col-: onel Williams, of Eugene; the Third ! battalion of the Second United States Infantry, the Sixth United States In fantry; a battery of the Fourth Field ; artillery, and detachments of Signal, 'Hospital and Engineer corps. A troop i of the Fourteenth United States Caval i ry and Troop A. Washington Cavalry, f formed the advance. Attacking Flans Miscarry. It was 10:30 when the Blue army pa . trols reported the enemy, and a plan of attack was then taken under discussion. Colonel Ghormley figured that the en emy's artillery would be intrenched on the ridge, and did not attempt a frontal attack. He dispatched the Fourth Ore gon and First Infantry to attack the Browns' right, organized his cavalry and remainfng infantry to advance on the Brown left and put the field bat tery in a clump of woods overlooking the Brown position, to await develop ment of the Brown artillery. The first contact between cavalry pa trols occurred a few minutes before noon, when 11 Blue cavalrymen showed on a fringe of trees 1000 yards off the Brown left. These cavalrymen wore fired on by a cossack post and with drew. Intermittent firing between small patrol parties continued until nearly 1 o'clock when heavy firing opened up 1 on the Brown left, held by the Third i United States Infantry. This was at first regarded as a feint nrj the main attack was looked for on the left. But the- fire developed In strength until Colonel McDonell ordered the reserve battalion of the Third Ore gon under Major T. N. Dunbar, of Port land, to a position in support of the . mountain or field battery." The artillery ; then opened up and received an im- . mediate response from the. Blue artillery A pretty artillery duel followed. In which . the Brown guns got decidedly the better of the argument, owing to their en trenched position. Awful Slaughter Follows. Shortly before. 1 o'clock the firing on . the. left died down to an irregular rattle, ' but al 1 o'clock heavy volley firing: oc- H r ' ..' . i.i . i. it ' ....... kiW.w rm THiT-iri imiiiii " ' kit-ihi ; .1 1 "fc . " curred. This was occasioned by appear ance of a force of First Infantry and Fourth Oregon Infantry In column squads. "I hope that in real warfare I never have to witness such slaughter of men aa would have occurred had bullets been used against the First and Fourth," said Colonel Febiger, whose troops did the execution. Plainly repulsed In trying to force the I Brown riKht. the attacking army openen up on the left with the remaining in fantry and cavalry. Better success was met with here, and the extreme left was turned, but the main left held firm. At this point a cessation of hostilities was ordered by the military umpires. It was derided the attack had been repulsed. This was at 1:33 P. M-. and the Blue Army again maneuvered, for attack. Not until 3 o'clock d!6i the Second and final advance occur and In this the Blue force was hardly fortunate. Instead of aealn tryiig to force the right or center. Colonel Ghormley apparently decided that the left would be the vulnerable point and he concentrated his infantry attack and assailed thr; left In force from in fro-.t. Umpire Calls orf Hostilities. The left was held by the Third Ore gon and it was here that Major May y :: v. . Y.. exhibited commendable Judgment. Learning from the point of observation that the enemy was gathering In force at the front of his position, he ordered the second battalion of the Third United States Infantry, under Captain Shields to advance from a reserve pos ition to a point on the extreme left. A troop of cavalry was also placed here. So when the Blue army deployed across Major May's front and charged In force, they were met by a sweeping fire. In less than ten minutes umpires dashed across the field and stopped the theoretical slaughter. Recall was then sounded and the tired troops were assembled. Colonel McDonell's command proceeded south ward at 4 o'clock to Malloys farm, one mile behind his defensive position In the battle just ended. Here the wagon and supply trafns were being held. In command of Lieutenant Carl Rltter spacher. Rations were issued at once, fresh ammunition supplies were given out, shelter tents were pitched and the hundred and one other little details of a temporary camp In the field effected. Th Blue army returned by an in direct route to the vicinity of the state rifle range, south and east of camp and there went Into bivouac for the night. All the men In both camps were cautioned to retire early, as the call to arms might sound at any hour after darkness. HEAVYJTOOLS. The Pacific Iron Works at the east end of the Btirnside-street bridge, have just received from the East a. very heavy punch weighing eight and one-half tons for punching heavy plates. This tool will punch one and a half-Inch holes In one and a half-inch thick plates. They have also received a 36-inch circular saw for cutting the largest steel beams rolled. Both these machines will be driven by Independent motors attached to the ma chines and will be Installed immediately. These works are being equipped to do the heaviest kind of construction work.

CFIRHAK AND DAUGHTER, HELEN. I Cm& fy . ........ :.. . II WELCOME IS ROYAL Four Thousand Foresters Are Here to Greet J. O'Grady. COME FROM THREE STATES Visit of Supreme Chiel Kanger Red Letter Occasion in History of Order in Oregon Grand ' Parade Tonight. John J. O'Grady. Supremo Chief Ran ger of the Foresters of America, arrived in Portland last night from Salem, where he was met by officers of the Ore gon Grand Court and escorted to this dtv. While In Portland he will be the guest of honor at the convention which u. hopn arranged by the oresters tor Tuesday and Wednesday. Elaborate ar rangements have .been made for the af fair and more man i oretwra hum Oregon, Washington and Idaho will ba in Portland tomorrow to attend the Ini tiation of a class of more than 300. Mr. O'Grady represents the Thirty second Assembly district in the . New York Senate and was a delegate at the Democratic National convention at Den ver last month. Since the convention he has been traveling in California vis iting the various courts of the Foresters. He is accompanied by Mrs. O'Grady and their children, Dorothea and John J. O'Grady. Jr. They are at the Oregon Hotel. In speaking of his trip to the Pacific Coast, Mr. O'Grady, said: "Wherever I have been on the Coast I have noted very satisfactory condi tions, and I cannot commend too highly the spirit which has taken possession of the Foresters in the Pacific jurisdiction. The object of my trip is to instill en thusiasm Into the members, but wherever I have been I have found that they al ready possessed that necessary quality, so I have confined my work to aiding the members in organizing their work besides meeting with them. "This is my first trip to the Pacific Coast and you may be sure that I am glad of theopportunity to make it. I will never forget Oregon, because of the grand reception that has been accorded me throughout the state. There Is an other reason for remembering this state and that la the climate. The weather was fearfully hot In Northern California and when we commenced to feel the Ore gon zephyrs we gave a prayer of thanks. "The Foresters are much stronger in the East than in the West and it was largely for the purpose of Increasing the membership of the order that I decided to make the visit to the Coast at this l-ik I time. At one place in California I at tended an initiation of 600 men in one class. This is but a sample of the work that is being accomplished out here and you may be sure that I want to do everything I can to help It along. In New York State we have a membership of 55.000 and in other states we are equally as strong." From the moment Mr. O'Grady arrived in Portland last night until a late hour he was kept busy meeting the members of the local courts. He was accompanied from Salem by A. B. Dalgity and John Ecklund, officers of the Oregon Grand Court. While in Salem the supreme ruler of the Foresters met Governor Chamber lain and other state officials. Governor Chamberlain was on the train with the party coming down, and the Chief Ex ecutive of Oregon and the chief execu tive of Forestry found much In com mon to discuss on tne journey iruin Salem. Today Mr. O'Grady will be taken about the city, and will also meet the Foresters at Court Webfoot No. 4, in the Marquam building, where open house will be kept throughout the day. Open house with the Foresters means everything that' the term Implies, and refreshments and luncheon will be served to all who care to partake. Mr. O'Grady will speak at the Ar mory, corner Tenth and Davis streets, at 8:30 o'clock tonight, at a public meeting. He Is said to be a forceful speaker-and a man of great oratorical power. Tomorrow will also be spent In sightseeing and meeting the members of the order, and tomorrow night he will attend the Initiation of a class of 800. While in Portland Mr. O'Grady will be the guest of the 38 courts in Ore gon. The convention Is in charge of the grand court of Oregon, the execu tive council of which is as follows: Deputy supreme chief ranger, C. E. Leitzel, of Portland; grand chief rang er, A. L. Brown, of Salem; grand sub chief ranger, G. Freeman. Oregon City; grand treasurer. John Ecklund, Port land; grand secretary, A. B. Dalgity, Portland; grand recording secretary, Ed Wright. La Grande. The grand trustees are: F. R. Peterson, chairman: W. E. Snyder and N. Costanzo, all of Portland. A grand moonlight excursion has been planned for Friday night by the Shepherds of America, second degree Foresters. Two steamers and a danc ing barge will be chartered, and a trip up the Columbia will be made. A ban quet will also be arranged in Mr. O Grady's honor before he leaves Port land. Assisting the Oregon grand court in entertaining the chief officer of the Foresters are the members of the grand court of Washington. Grand Chief Ranger Dr. H. Harrison, of Tacoma, and Grand Secretary' T. H. Andrews, of Seattle, ane already in Portland, and the other officers will arrive today. Delegates from Oregon courts will commence arriving today, and will also be coming In tomorrow. Those coming from Salem have arranged for a spe cial train to carry the representatives, while hundreds representing Astoria, Rainier, La Grande, Hood River, Rose burg. Oregon City, and other Oregon and Washington points, will arrive in time to attend the initiation tomorrow night. z?Ze"?r CONCRETE FOR PIPE Engineer Suggests Its Use in New Bull Run Line. WOULD EFFECT BIG SAVING V. A. Grondahl Shows Relative Cheapness of Reinforced Con crete as Compared With Cast Iron and Riveted Steel. W. A. Grondahl, a consulting engi neer of this city, who for many years was connected with the Southern Pa cific Company, believes that the city can save an enormous sum of money if it builds the proposed pipeline from Bull Run of reinforced concrete. He has made estimates of the cost of the line with various materials, and his figures show that reinforced concrete would not only be the cheapest but the most durable and satisfactory material. "Reinforced concrete Is different from other materials that have been sug gested and usually used," said Mr. Grondahl. "in that It Is more durable and satisfactory in every way. " Cast iron and steel are subject to the action of electricity and other influences, while reinforced concrete. Instead of being injured in the course of time, becomes stronger and more durable t,he longer It Is used. "An estimate of the comparative cost of the line in different materials will show that the city will save approxi mately $750,000 if reinforced concrete is used. The figures are based on a 100-pound pressure and four-foot diam eter. . x "From various quotations on ma terial. It Is shown that cast-iron pipe will cost 36 a foot. Riveted steel will cost about $15 a foot. Both of those materials have been suggested, and from what I have heard. It seems likely that the city may use one of them. Wooden stay pipes would cost about $8 a foot, but it is not likely that such a pipeline will be considered. "A concrete pipe, on the other hand, with sufficient reinforcement to give It an equal amount of strength, would cost $10 a foot. That would be a sav ing of $5 a foot below the cost of a riveted steel pipe. The pipe will be approximately 30 miles in length, which would mean a saving to the city of $742,000. "I offer this merely as a suggestion, and believe the people should consider the matter seriously." LEAKS ARE DUE TO DECAY Bull Run Pipe Line Is Protected From Electrolysis. Dr. C. H. Raftety, whose plans for protecting the Bull Run pipeline from electrolysis were adopted and put Into effect some time ago, said yesterday that the leaks reported In the main line near Gresham were due more to decomposition than to electrolysis. He said that copper ground wires had been attached to the Bull Run pipeline where the pipe was near streetcar tracks. Tests were made before these copper conductors were put In and electricity was found, but after the copper ground wires were attached to the pipe the test showed the electricity had been drawn off. "There has been considerable trouble from leaks," said Dr. Raftety. "between Gresham and the Sandy River, but they are probably due to chemical ac tion of vegetation. I made an analysis' of a scale fiiom one of the perforations and found it contained carbonate. When we lay the new pipeline to Bull Run we shall have to protect it against these perforations by chemical action Tiio hpnlrhv Tv-nman t sLrons men tally- and physically, whose ambi tion and magnetic influence urge men to deeds of grandeur and hero ism : sticb. women are all-powerful. Weak, sick and ailing women have little ambition; their own trou bles occupy all their thoughts. They dwell upon their pains, suffer from nervousness and headaches; often are extremely melancholy, and avoid society. For thirty years LYDIAE-PIMftHAiVrS VEGETABLE C0PQU?jP has been saving women from this awful condition. Mrs. Louise Jung, of 332 Chestnut St., Detroit, Mich., 'writes: " I suffered from a very severe female weakness for a long time. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, re stored my health. I hope it will do other women as much stock! as it has me." Mrs. Emma Wheaton, of Vienna, W. Va., writes to Mrs. Pinkham : "I was a walking1 shadow. My hus band insisted upon my writing to you and trying. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound, which I did. It re lieved all my pains and misery, and made of me a very different woman." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, nas been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulcera tion, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feel ing, dizziness, or nervous pros tration. Why don't you try it ? Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., invites all sick women to write her for advice. and electrolysis at points where the soil produces these conditions. Where the pipe is laid in gravel there Is no trouble. When ,we get the new pipe in the present pipeline can be fully re paired by cutting out the sections that have been subjected to the action of the soil." SUES TO RECOVER LOTS AV. H. Berg Says Mrs. Xorton Used Duress to Get Property. That Mrs. Anastasla Norton, pro prietress of the Hotel Nortonia, so "ter rified, frightened and shocked" William H. Berg, the hotel clerk, that he gave her a deed to lots 1 and 2. block 7. Lo gan's Addition to East Portland, is the allegation which he makes in a suit filed in the Circuit Court. The prop erty in question Is at the corner of Buxton and East Twenty-eighth streets near the Sandy road. Berg says that on June 6, while em ployed at the Nortonia, he was taken ill with smallpox. He was conveyed to St. Vincent's hospital, and thence to the pest house. On July 22 he was pro nounced cured, and returned to his room In the Nortonia. Mrs. Norton, he says, unceremoniously ordered him away, and when he met her the next day accused him of embezzlement. He says he was threatened with immediate arrest if he did not deed her his prop erty, and laboring under thought of the consequent shame, he says, he lost con trol of his will and then executed the deed. He now asks that it be cancelled by an injunction compelling Mrs. Nor ton to convey the land to Berg, and preventing her from selling the prop erty while the suit is pending. Mrs. Norton last night made a state ment to the effect that Berg had been discovered to be an embezzler and that he had voluntarilly deeded the two lots to her as partial restitution. HOT SALT BATHS.

There's a wonderful difference be tween a food which merely tastes good and one which builds up strength and good, healthy flesh. It makes no difference how much we eat unless we can digest it. It is not really food to the system until It Is ab sorbed. A Yorkstate woman says: "I had been a sufferer for ten years with stomach and liver trouble, and had got so bad that the least bit of j food such as 1 tnen Knew wouia s'v me untold misery for hours after eat ing. . "I lost flesh until I was almost a shadow of my original self, and my friends "were quite alarmed about me. " First I dropped coffee and ued Postura, then began to use Grape-Nuts, although I had little faith It would do me any good. "But I continued to use the food and have gained twenty pounds in weight and feel like another person in every way. I feel as if life had truly begun anew for me. "I can eat anything I Hke now In moderation, suffer no 111 effects, be on my feet from morning until night. Whereas a year ago they had to send me away from home for rest while others cleaned hoflse for me. this Spring I have been able to do It myself all alone. "My breakfast Is simply Grape-Nuts with cream and a cup of Postum, with sometimes an egg and a piece of toast, but generally only Grape-Nuts and Postum. And I can work until noon and not feel as tired as one hour's work would have made me a year ago." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
