CAMP PERRY. O.. Aug. 23. (Staff
Correspondence.) One thousand rifle
men, the pick of the Regular Army,
Navy. Marine Corps and National Guard
of tne entire I'nited States, are engaged
litre today In what Is probably the
greatest contest In marksmanship in all
history. Scores are being made such
as never before have been developed
In a rifle competition, and It Is clear
that important records will be shat
tered before the end.
The National team match, which will
decide the ownership of the National
trophy provided by Congress, as well as
several other important trophies and
large cash awards, has developed into
a sharp struggle In which National
Guard riflemen are attempting to
wrest the victory from the United States
service teams. At this time it seems
certain that the trophy will go to the
I'nited States Infantry, I'nited States
Cavalry. United States Navy. United
States Marine Corps or the National
Guard teams from Massachusetts and
New Jersey.
Three Clas -s Made.
The 50 competing teams are divided
into three classes. ccordlng to shoot
ing ability as determined by previous
Narfonal matches. In the first division,
or Class A. are the 15 leading teams
of the country. Including 'the Oregon
Infantry team. It Is In this class that
the fight for the National trophy oc
curs, and consequently the contest is
the or.e to excite the greatest Interest.
Pitted against the best In the United
Ftatrs. the Oregon riflemen have a
hard row to hoe. But In the prelim
inary practice Friday and Saturday, the
Oregon team appeared In its customary
good form, shooting well above center.
The wregon men have their eye on the
National trophy, of course, but hardly
expect to win it this year. Their fight
Is to remain in Class A and to advance
a few points In that class. For only
15 teams out of the 50 can claim the
honor of belonging to the A class, and
It Is looked upon in military circles
as an honor worth fighting hard for.
In the skirmish runs the piling up of
scores of 99 out of 100 Is a feat that
would have been looked upon as quite
at Impossible as flying In the days of
the Springfield rifle. In a skirmish
run the firing commences at 600 yards
and 'continues by stages down to 200,
tha line advancing by rushes and firing
quickly. Each change of range neces
farily entails a change in the sights
and windage. No less Intricate than a
jroblem in barometric calculus is the
'doping out" of the conditions in a
skirmish run.
The Camp Perry range Is Ideal for
the purposes of big National competi
tions. The range here is located on
the south shore of I-ake Erie, 29 miles
east of Toledo and five miles west of
Port Clinton. It is on the Sandusky
division of the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern Railway and spur tracks run
into the camp. In the range there are
400 acres of ground, and the firing is
due north from a common firing point.
In the National team match, which is
now being fo.ight out. every order of
fire is used. There Is slow rire at zuu.
00. 800 and 1000 yards, rapid fire at
200 yards, and a skirmish run. As al
ready stated, the chief Interest lies in
the fight in Class A. of which the Ore
gon team Is a part.
Had Oregon been assigned to Class
'B, there seems little doubt but that the
famous Hil'on trophy would have been
won. The Oregon men can easily out
shoot any team in Class B, which is
made up of Eastern and Southern
states. But by being in Class A it will
be a miracle if any trophy or cash prize
Is won.
In Class C the prize is the celebrated
bronre Soldier of Marathon. Thia class
Is made up of teams that have not made
verv high qualifications, mostly of
Western. Southern and Southwestern
teams, such as Louisiana. 1-lorida, Tex
as. Arizona. New Mexico, Tennessee.
South Carolina and Georgia, where lota
of good shots are supposed to abound.
But It is the old story of these confi
dent woodsmen and "natural" shots be
ing completely at ea In firing at any
thing farther away than !00 or 500
yards.
Individual Match Thursday.
Thursday, the team match being com
pleted in time, the National tndivlduat
match will he taken up. In that it is
every rifleman for himself. Some of
the crack regular marksmen are sure
they are going to win. Several guards
men are equally sure. As has happened
on several occasions, some comparative
ly new man may win the event. The
distances of fire will be the same as
In the National team match.
The National pistol match will con
clude the events for which a National
appropriation is made. The pistol
match, open to all team men, will be
taken up Immediately upon the com
pletion of the Individual.
The teams will commence leaving

DENVER. Aug. 23. "Give us a uni

cepted or rejected by the individual
states each according to its needs. A
national law should attempt no more
than the regulation of interstate com
merce." This was the slogan set tonight for
the opening tomorrow of the 13th an
nual convention of the Association of
State and National Food and Dairy De
partments. That the convention will take action
for the submission to the various state
legislatures of a "model food bill" was
stated after a preliminary meeting to
night of a special committee headed
by Dr. E. F. Ladd, State Food Com
missioner of North Dakota, and author
of the Ladd Pure Food Law. It is the
plan to forward the bill, after Its ap
proval by the convention, to the var
ious states.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson,
who is here, as he says, as a "specta

for more stringent enforcement of the
Federal law as opposed to the "model"

Claim Made Deschutes Is Canyon

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 23. Allegations of fraud are
contained in a letter filed with the Gen
eral Ijind Office today by A. A. Hoeh
ling. Jr.. attorney, representing the Har
riman railroad Interests in the Deschutes
Valley controversy. The letter is a re
ply to claims previously pst forth by
the Oregoj Trunk line for possession of
right o.f way through the Deschutes
Canyon, and charges the surveys of the
Trunk line were really made earlier than
the maps filed at the Interior. DeparU
ment.
This Is regarded by anti-Hill people as
an attempt to mislead the local authori
ties and is cited as the reason why the
Oregon Trunk line should be enjoined
and its maps disapproved. The charge
is ateo made that the original charter of
the company did not authorize surveys.
Both sides have filed photographs to
clinch their contentions as to the char
acter of the disputed territory.
Harriman contends it is a canyon and
should not be classified as a pass or de
file, as claimed by the Interior Depart

BUMPED
High-Handed Methods of New
York's "Purifiers" Cause
of Great Displeasure.
NUMBERS ARE DWINDLING
Only S6 of Faithful Can Be Mustered
at Meeting and Attitude of As-
suming Leadership Looked at
Askance by Organizations.
BT LLOYD F. .LONEROAN. '
NEW YORK. Aug. 23. (Special.) The
committer of 100, which, at the start
looked as if it would be a power in the
coming municipal campaign. Is beginning
to strike the political bumps.
The "One Hundred" was a novelty in
local politics, and for some time had the
regular politicians on the anxious seat.
It aimed to be regarded as a refined
vigilance committee and had it been a.bly
directed It might have got away with the
bluff.
But since it practically notified the Re
publican organization that the G. O. P.
must play second fiddle, a feeling of re
sentment has been aroused, and it would
surprise nobody if the gallant One Hun
dred were advised to go It alone.
The "One Hundred" has been in ex
istence now for several months, but if
it has made any progress that fact has
not been publicly manifest. In fact, the
organization has steadily grown weaker:
many of its members have resigned and
at the present time, little more than a
majority are active. Enemies of these
pure-minded uplifters of politics now fa
cetiously call them the "57," in honor of
a certain brand of pickles.
Roosevelt's Friend Starts Scheme.
James B. Reynolds, a great friend of
Theodore Roosevelt and an active inde
pendent, is credited with the idea that
resulted In the formation of the "One
Hundred." Mr. Reynolds had been prom
inent in the affairs of the Citizens' Union
and while he recognized that the "Cits"
could no longer be made effective, he
thought it possible to form a body which
would compel the Republican machine to
"be good."
So a "committee of fourteen" sprang
into life, the members apparently being
self-appointed. This body, after numer
ous secret sessions, selected the commit
tee of 100 and seemingly a new political
party had been successfully launched.
It soon developed, however, that the
committee of 100 was made up of three
parts energy. 40 parts of discord and 57
parts of indifference. And it drifted
aloros, accomplishing nothing and seem
ingly without leadership. By this time
it might be added, the really useful Mr.
Reynolds had been lost In the discard.
Other anti-Tammany organizations,
scores of them, were in running order by
this time, and the masterly Inaction that
existed made them peevish. So the other
day a number of them held a "fusion
conference." In that meeting the com
mittee of 100 was-criticised for delaying
positive action, and the opinion was ex
pressed that it had shown itself decidedly
lacking in qualities of leadership.
One Hundred Stirred L'p.
In fact, one "leader" arose to remark.
"If the committee of 100 will not move,
we will start the anti-Tammany cam
paign ourselves." and he was cheered to
the echo when he said It.
This remark stirred up the gallant 100
and a meeting was held on short notice.
Bv actual count there were only 36 mem
bers present, but it was explained that
most of 16 others were in the country.
All the same, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
Resolved. That the following statement of
-..t,...i- A inrntna e1 the Committee
of One Hundred ie issued for the information
of the public: . ...
First The Committee of One Hundred In
vites the co-operation of all parties, bodies of
citizens and individuals in securing the nomi
nation aud election of a ticket composed of
men who. by" reason of their past records and
the qualifications which they have exhibited.
' j .,,, VAnH iinnn hv the citizen
can aim - ...
of Greater New York to conduct the adminis
tration of tne city in a iruiuuu,
and nonpartisan manner.
Second The Committee of One Hundred
pledge itself that such candidates will be
nominated and the Issue presented clearly tJ
the voters whether or not the co-operation of
other organizations along the lines indicated ia
secured. - .
A committee of 11 was appointed to
select a city ticket, their Instructions
rAoino- 'In ooneotion with other anti-
Tammany organizations, if that course
seems desirable. If not. then acting in
dependently." One of the leaders said after the meet
ing. "It will be up to this committee to
accept or reject the invitation of other
fusionists, or to invite or decline to In
vite other fusionists to help In the se
lection of a ticket."
Friends Turn Against Committee.
In other words, the "one hundred" be
lieves that it is the whole show, and
threatens to go it alone unless it is al
lowed to dictats- things.
The "one hundred" thought It waa doing
a very bright thing when it issued this
manifesto, but the action has aroused a
storm, of indignation among the anti
Tammany forces, many organizations ad
vise that this self sufficient body be ig
nored, and even among its friends, the
opinion is general that the "one hundred"
has made a fool of Itself.
Under these circumstances, the attitude
of the New York Times is interesting.
The Times has displayed kindly interest
in the reform organization, and has
boosted it on all occasions. But this last
outbreak was too much, and In an edi
torial headed "The One Hundred's Mis
take." the Times gives these amateur pol
iticians some good advice. It says In
part:
A little humility, a clearer understand
ing of its present relation to the universe
would immensely become the Committee of
One Hundred. A continuance in its present
course must necessarily promote the triumph
of the power of darkness which the One
Hundred was organized to forestall and
prevent.
Thus far this community has not taken
the Committee of One Hundred very seri
ously. It has paid very little attention to
it. The One Hundred are a committee
without an organization, without a party.
In the districta. which are the units of po
tency In our politics. the Committee
amounts to nothing. It does not appear to
have the backing of any particular vote.
It speaka of itself, but there ia no evidence
that it representa anybody else.
It is, therefore, somewhat too toploftlcal
for this Committee to issue invitations to
real political organizations that have been
long In existence to come to its office and
apply for assignments to a place in the line.
Its Invitation will have little allurement
for the Republican county organizations,
without which no headway can be made
against Tammany. It will not even Interest
the followers of Mr. Hearst or the antl
Tammany Democrats.
Under like unwise guidance and making
the same mistake, reform movements In the
past have directlji contributed to confirm
Tammany's power.
The One Hundred would make a better
Impression on the public mind if. Instead of
"inviting co-operation." they should an
nounce their willingness to unite with other
organizations and parties and with all good

Republican leaders, while diplomatically
avoiding discussing the matter for publi
cation, are hopeful that the "one hun
dred" will be blown away by the first big
political wind. They would welcome such
result, as they are anxious to nomi

They are convinced that the other anti
