TROOPS SHOW PROFICIENCE
Battalions Dispatched on Long
Marches to Develop Positions of
Simulated Foes and Report on
the Tactical Advantages.
Proficlence in advance and rear guard
wurk. map-making and reconnoissance
was exhibited by the Fourth Oregon In
fantry to i marked degree in a maneuver
extending through the forenoon ana eariy
afternoon of yesterday. The maneuver
nai designed for purposes of lnstruc
tion. but the regiment immediately
proved Itself so fully able to handle all
the detail of Its operations that the
corps of officers from the Regular Army
who accompanied the column as instruc
tors earlv retired.
After a march of ten miles, which In
voiced the examination and Investigation
of every hill and thicket where a theo
retical enemy might be concealed, the
i-g:ment returned to camp without any
signs of fatigue and without a single
txrtical error having been made. Com
rlete maps of the country had beei pre
pared and the officers were In readiness
to supply full Information regaraing ine
entire district and Its various advantages
for offense or defense.
Situation Is Outlined.
When the command left camp at 7
o'clock In the morning. Colonel Toran
outlined the following general situation
to the battalion commanders. Majors
CretM C. Hammond and F. B. Hamjln:
"A victorious army la moving from the
north against an army which has been
driven south of the Columbia River. The
retreating arn-y la expected to hold Port
land strongly and offer the greatest pos
sible resistance to crossing the Columbia.
Suspicions of the pursuing commander
are aroused by the evacuation of Port
land with little resistance. His advance
guard, consisting of a brigade whose
rosorve is several miles south of Port
land, la proceeding very cautiously when
Irformatlon la received that the enemy
Is attempting a flanking movement. The
Foi:rth Infantry, which la occupying the
advance line, has orders not to proceed
further at present, other element having
been sent to reconnolter to the east and
west."
It p In order to develop the charac
ter of the country for a radlua of half
a dosen miles about Clackamaa that the
reconnoissance waa made. The first bat
talion, tinder Major Hamlin, went into
the territory west and south from the
rifle range camp while the second bat
talion, under Major Hammond, proceeded
east and south.
Columns Move Over Route.
Infantry polnta 'were thrown out,
flanker were dispatched, supports and
reserves were established and the two
columns moved cautiously over the route
assigned to them. Careful maps were
made and when these were submitted
later to Colonel Toran they revealed that
the territory covered offers few ad
vantages to an armed force. Further
than such work as might be effected by
rmall bodies of sharpshooters, it was
reported that a moving column would not
be ltkely to strike opposition In force
anywhere In the district, facilities for
retreat. In the event of necessity, being
restricted.
Although the regiment was given the
balanoe of the day off after the long
reconnoissance. the Second Battalion and
a number of men from the First went on
the firing line for target practice during
the remaining hours of the afternoon. At
retreat a dress parade and review were
given to General Owen Summers, who
arrived at camp on the afternoon train.
Summers Praises Regiment.
'A pplendld regiment. None need
worry about what those men would do
in action." was General Summers' terse
comment after seeing the regiment as
sembled and put through the paces of
review.
This morning the regiment will be In
spected, mustered and reviewed. The In
spection w!!l be made by Colonel James
Jackson. U. SI A. retired, the State Inspector-General.
This event will likely
occupy most of the forenoon. The vari
ous company team men will then be
placed on the rifle rnnge for practice,
while the battalions will take up further
flel.1 work.
Camp will be broken tomorrow, pos
sibly in the forenoon, and the various
companies will proceed by train to their
horn stations. The regiment will be
replced at the range by the company
teams from throughout the state which

MEIER RATE IS RAISED
GAS COMPANY PUTS MINIMUM
CHARGE TO $1.
Concern Declares Increase Justified
by Cost of Installing and Re
pairing Meters.
The Portland Gas Company has again
raised its prices. This time It is the
minimum meter rate which has gone
up. The charge has been doubled, and
will materially affect all small users
of gas.
Until recently the Portland Gas Com
pany has charged 50 cents a month to
all persons having; a meter. This was
the minimum rate, and allowed use of
gas without extra charge up to 600
cubic feet. The minimum charge haa
been raised to $1 a month within the
last few days, but subscribers may
now use to 1000 feet without extra
charge.
Last December a maintenance fee of
30 cents an arc was added-to the-reg-ular
meter rate for gas. This main
tenance fee paid for the cleaning of
the arc lights once in awhile, and the
keeping up of the mantles. In case the
globe is accidentally broken, the con
sumer pays for replacing it.
At the Courthouse, the county paid
$41.15 for its gas lights last month. Of
this amount $8.10 was for arc main
tenance. The county also paid $29.50
for the gas light bill of the Armory,
and $10.20, more than a third of this
was for arc maintenance. The county
formerly used Welsbach lights at the
Courthouse. But the Gas Company
pointed out the advantage of the arcs,
and that no additional charge was then
made for them, thus Inducing the Com-
lssloners to install them. The county
receives a discount of 37 per cent on its
gas bill, however, which the small users
of gas do not receive.
NO PROFIT IX FORMER RATE
Gas Company Agent Declares Cost
Made Advance Necessary.
C E. Godon. of the gas company,
said last night that the increase in the
meter rate had been made only after
much deliberation on the part of the
directors of the company. He declared
that the company was forced to put
meters on a dollar rate in order to
make the expenses of maintenance and
installation. which waa Impossible
when so many subscribers paid only 50
to 75 cents, and that the more meters
the company puts In on such a basis.
the more their attention cost in pro
portion.
During the past seven montns, ac
cording to Godon, the company installed
1623 meters on the East Side, and the
consumption per meter at the same
time was reduced 3 per cent. The com
pany Itself pays the cost of connecting
the meter with the street main, another
heavy item of expense. Therefore,
under the 50-cent rate, said Mr. Godon,
a consumer had to burn 3000 feet of gas
before the company made any profit.
and even under the dollar rate, which
Includes 1000 feet of gas, the first
2000 feet burned will only pay the com
pany's expenses, he said.
The electric company also cnarges a
dollar minimum rate for its meters, he
said. Mr. Godon said also that to pay
the cost of attention and maintenance
of the meters, with per cent for de
preciation and profit, a minimum rate
of $1.12, and 60 cents lor eacn aaai
tlonal 1000 feet of gas should be the
charge Instead of $1 as a minimum.
CHAUFFEUR IS ACCUSER
DR. GUSTAV B.VAR ARRESTED
FOR POINTING REVOLVER.
Dispute Over Broken Machine and
Man's Wages Will Have Ending
in Municipal Court.
Dr. Gustav Paar. a well-known phy
sician, was arrested yesterday after
noon by Detectives Carpenter and
Resins on a charge of pointing a re
volver at C. W. Rickards, a chauffeur.
Dr. Baar gave bond In the sum of $150
and was released. Rickards formerly
was In the employ of Dr. Baar, and al
leges that the physician pointed the
revolver at him in the latter! office
July 15.
According to Dr. Baar. Rickards was
employed by him five days, and during
that time, through carelessness, broke
the flywheel on Baar's machine.
It was agreed at that time," said Dr.
Baar. "that I was to have the damage
repaired and he was to pay for half
the cost, which was $48. and continue
working for me. After the machine
was fixed he quit and wanted his pay,
which I refused to give him. He
claimed I owed him $17.50.
"One day he came into the office to
collect the bill and 1 was busy with
some patients in my private room. I
asked him to wait, but he came on
into the office and demanded the
money. I saw he had a hammer in hia
pocket and his attitude was threaten
ing. I walked over to a cabinet and
pulled out a drawer and drew the re
volver forth and. pointing it at him,
demanded that he leave the room."
Rickardo denies that he and Dr.
Boar made an agreement whereby he
was to pay half the cost of repairing
the machine, and says he tried to col
lect the bill repeatedly and had even
placed It in the hands of an attorney
without results.
"I walked into his office and de
manded my money." said Rickards,
and he pulled the revolver out of a
drawer and ordered me out."
The case will come up in the Munici
pal Court this morning.

MOVEMENT NATIONAL ONE
Posters and Placards In 3400 Cities
Will Help Educate Public of
Country .Against Great
White Plague,
What Is destined to be one of the most
beneficial advertising methods ever adopt
ed for the suppression of tuberculosis
will be inaugurated about October 1. At
that time the Associated Billposters of
the United States and Canada will insti
tute a war against the white plague by
the use of billboards and placards in the
3400 cities in which the association is
active.
At its recent convention, held In At
lanta, Ga.. the Billposters' Association
passed resolutions by which publicity, es
timated at the usual rates to be worth
$1,200,000, will be given gratis to the Na
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis in its battle
against the disease. Through the agency
of committees appointed at the conven
tion, the Poster Printers' Association do
nated $200,000 toward the enterprise.
The Associated Billposters also have
assurances that the railroad and express
companies will carry free all the paper
bearing the suggestive hints and cautions
relative to tuberculosis. It Is the inten
tion of the billposters to provide space
on their boards for a period of six
months, during which they will post
monthly the precautionary paper contrib
uted by the Allied Printing Trades and
Poster Printers' Association.
In accordance with the resolution adopt
ed, the billposters' organization has
notified all of Its members to prepare for
the campaign, which will begin simul
taneously two months hence in all of the
principal towns and cities throughout the
United States and Canada. Foster &
Kleiser, the largest concern of sign man
ufacturers and billposters in this jity,
are actively preparing for the Institution
of a campaign in the Pacific Coast cities
in which they operate. It is estimated
that the local concern will contribute ap
proximately $800 each month In services
and space in Portland, Seattle, Tacoma,
Belllngham and Spokane. Almost $5000
in space and services will be donated by
Foster & Kleiser in their contribution
during the six months' campaign.
Just what particular design of posters
will be adopted la problematical. It is be
lieved, however, that the designs will
vary materially In conception, yet ad
here to the principal purpose of attract
ing the attention of the uneducated and'
those who generally neglect the study, or
tuberculosis.

Because of the failure to have railroad
tickets properly validated, the body of
Edward A. Talman lies in the baggage
room at the Union Depot where it was
received last Thursday. In the mean
time the railroad officials are endeavor
ins to get in communication with Miss
Gertrude Talman, daughter of the dead
man. in order that they may be satisfied
that satisfactory arrangements were
made for shipping the corpse to Marsland,
Neb.
Talman died July 18 at McMinnville,
where he was visiting a daughter. His
body was embalmed arid prepared for
shipment to Talman's home in Nebraska.
The daughter accompanied the remains
to this city where she exhibited to the
railroad authorities two return-trip tic
kets to Marsland. Neb., one for herself
and one purchased for her father be
fore his death. Ignorant. of the red tape
procedure required by the railroad com
pany, Miss Talman failed to comply with
the rules of the corporation respecting
the validation of the tickets. She left
Portland last Friday, thinking the body
would be sent on the same train.

SHOVEL OPENS GRAVES
STREET GRADERS CUT INTO
LOSE FIR CEMETERY.
Property Said to Belong to City Is
Used for Burial of Bodies Rains
May Uncover Coffins.
Citizens living near East Stark and
East Twenty-sixth streets are remark
ing upon the number of graves being
opened by the steam shovel which is
ai work grading East Stark street. At
least eight open graves are to be count
ed on the south side of Stark street
where the grading has progressed, and it
is though others will be uncovered. Only
the tops of the graves have been dis
turbed and the coffins are not' visible.
It appears that the owner of the ceme
tery sold IMS to the extreme north end,
and apparently encroached upon East
Stark street. At least the City Engineer
has marked out the line to which the
street is to be graded, and it does not
stop short of some of the graves.
It is thought that unless a retaining
wall is put in the Winter rains will cause
a large amount of earth to cave into
the newly graded portion of Stark street,
uncovering the coffins. Whether this is
the duty of the city or the owner of Lone
Fir Cemetery is a mooted question. The
City Council has not yet made an ap
propriation, or taken steps to have the
10-foot retaining wall put in.
