Eleven hundred Infantrymen of the Oregon National Guard detrained here this afternoon for particlpatton In the biennial American Lake Army maneuvers. The Oregon aoldtera es tablished camp with the sure-ess and dispatch of regulars. By nightfall the troops had finished with the hundred and one details of camp making and were ready for active field work. Ten days of arduous campaigning Is ths programme ahead of the Oregon . men. as well as the other troops mo bilised here. Real work will be taken up at day light tomorrow morning, when the SO company commanders of the two C gon regiments will march their or ganisations .out for patrol work and minor problems In advance and rear guard maneuvers. The troops of the Regular Army and of the Montana Na tional Guard, which have been here for the past week, will engage In more advanced practice. But on Wednesday, with but one dsy In which to get adjusted to field con ditions, the Oregon regiments will be thrown Into an extensive maneuver In which all ths soldiers at the maneuver ground will take part. There Is to be a problem In which the senior officers may test their worth as tacticians. In addition ths maneuvers will afford an excellent test of the mobility of the various regiments. Five Thousand Men Encamped. Five thousatd soldiers comprlss the entire force now mobilised here for the field Instructions. The force' In cludes some of the craok commands of Uncle Saras Army and regiments about which substantial history Is built. The entire First United States Infantry from Vancouver Barracks has been here for several days after a hard march up. The famous old Fourteenth Infantry Is on hand from various Washington garrisons, the Twenty-fifth colored) Is Included, the crack Second Infsntry Is In the field and the remaining force Is made up of two batteries of the Sec ond Feld Artillery, four troops of the First Calvary, the Second Montana In fantry, company B. United States En gineers, half of ambulance company B, United States Army, comrany E. Sig nal Corps! and the army school of cooks and bakers. Contrary to the practice of past years, the strictest secrecy Is being maintained as to the nature of the maneuvers. Advance information Is being given out from headquarters to rone. As to the big maneuver of Wednesday, the problema Involved are known only to General Marlon P. Maus. the commanding general. It Is under stood that the problem will deal with coast defence, and that the 5000 men here will be divided Into two brigades, one representing an Invading force and the other a repelling force. Details are lacking, however. The Oregon troops will not he assigned to their place In the problem until an hour or so before the action begins. . Officers Put to Test. Thus officers and men will thrown on their resources and the best pos sible results will be obtained. The regiments will have to face the same emergency that would exist In actual warfare. General Maus sagely argues thst since the enemy does not send out advance Information of his Inten tions, so nothing should be told In ad vance In a maneuver problem. After the big field problem of Wednesday there will be little of a spectacular nature until August 15; when a field campaign will throw every man in camp out for two days for severe campaigning. The pro gramme for ten days In camp is much as follows: August . problem In patrolling: Au gust 10. combined maneuvers of regu ' lr army and National Guard troops; August 11. terrain exercise for com pany commander and such other of tlrers as can be spared from morning drills. Also problem and attack by companies; August 13. terrain exercise for field officers: August 18. general field maneuvers: August 14. Inspection and muster: August IS. terrain exer else for field officers and such other officers as can be spared from morn ing drills, also maneuvers; August It. general maneuver. Sanitation Reduced to Science. Modern methods are apparent throughout In the various camps this year, and as a resnlt of the system of sanitation, sickness Is reduced to a minimum. Every equipment needed by a modern army In the field is at hand, excepting dirigible balloons. The reg ulars have In most cases made long, hard marches to the maneuver field and are In the finest possible condi tion for the field exercises. The guards men .will likely suffer mors or less from heat and fatigue for the first fsw day until they have adjusted them 'selves to the new manner of living.

T. Jones, Democrat, Also Men tioned Spilt Is Foreseen. OLYMPIA. Wash.. Aug. 8. (Special.) Efforts are being made to induce Ed win Chadwlck. son of a former Gov ernor of Oregon and now a member of the State Supreme Court, to file his declaration of candidacy as Democratic candidate for United States Senator. Similar efforts are being made with H. T. Jones, Democratic member of the State Board of Control. The arguments of those bemnd these suggestions are that if Poindexter should win Republican preference in the primaries many Republicans will bolt the ticket, in which event Demo crats of the wide non-partisan popu larity of Chadwlck and Jones might be elected In spite of the fact that to elect a Democrat Senator a Democratic Legislature must be chosen. Those who are promoting the plan have as yet made no effort to sound the senti ments or either or tne propose- cuwi dates. Local Democrats contend that George F. Cotter! U. of Seattle, the only man who has yet filed for Democratic pref erence as Senator, Is not representative of the party and that he Is an advo cate of too many Isms and theories to which the party is not committed. Chadwlck is the only Democrat on the Supreme bench and was elected in 1908 by more than 1000 more votes than was received by the two elected Republican Judges, who ran on the same non-partisan ticket. Chadwlck's home Is at Colfax, so he Is open to the east side objection. Jones formerly lived in Spokane County, has been a member of the Board of Control under Governors alcBrlde, Mead, Cgsgrove and Hay. and for several years past has been a registered voter in Olympia. MAN TUMBLES 800 FEET FALLS DOWN" MOCXTAIXSIDE, BIT IS rXHURT. Horrified Companions on Hood Gla cier Expect to Find Dr. Mc JYIchol Dead, but He Is Not. HOOD RIVER. Or- Aug. 8. Dr. W. 8. McNIchoI, of this city, weighing nearly 300 pounds, slid 800 feet down the glacier of Mount Hood yesterday, bounced off a rock In tils path and plunged Dead nrsi Into a crevasee before the eyes of a com pany of 83 mountain-climbers, and soon climbed out or tne nssure witn omy few facial lacerations, a badly shaken body and a few bruises and sprains. Dr. McXicbol ascended the peak of Mount Hood along with 23 others who are now eligible to membership in the Mazamas. He started to make the de scent alone, not being tied to other climbers, as is the custom. ' When he had reached the end of the life line, which stretches down from the summit 1250 feet, and was passing the upper and larger of the two crevasses, which are in the path of the climber this year, he slipped and could not control himself on the steep glacial surface. The other members of the party stood petrified with horror as they saw him first slide and then begin to roll and bounce down the mountain side. The great Jagged rock stood in the path of the man and when he struck it and bounced out of sight Into the crevasse beyond, they hastened to the spot where he disap peared, expecting to find his body mangled beyond recognition. - Before they could reach the rocks they were surprised to see the head of the sup posed corpse stick up from the crevasse and the body of the man follow. He was bleeding from a number of scalp wounds, and had to be helped down the mountain to Closd Cap Inn to have his injuries temporarily cared for. The other members of the record breaking party of mountain-climbers were: H. K. Davenport, G. A. Moseleer, Oscar J. Ttlleson. L. A. Brosdle, A. L. Crocker. Ralph R. Ellis, James B.
