First Infantry Marches From

COSGROVE. Wh.. Aug- 8. (Spe
cial.) 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:

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.
The Ore r on troops made the trip up
from Portland without mishap or Inci

ELGIN. Or.. Aug. 8. (Speclal.
Wellington porter, who was shot last
Friday evening by his son-in-law, Jesse
Parker, died this morning at 7:45
o'clock at his home, four miles north
of Elgin. A coroner's Jury was at once
empaneled, which rendered a decision
of murder In the first degree. Attorn
ney Ivanhoe represented the state and
Attorney Cochrane the defense.
At the preliminary hearing, the tes
timony brought out nothing new. Ac
cording to testimony. Jesse Parker had
driven out from Elgin in a wagon, dis
mounting at the Porter ranch and tak
ing his child, which was in a shack by
the side of the road. In his arms and
was talking to and caressing it when
his wife, who had left him some three
weeks ago, came out of her father's
house. She demanded her child. Is said
to have screamed and slapped her hus
band In the face.
Her father walked toward the pair
from a watertank. about to feet dis
tant, on which he had been working.
When he came within about six feet his
daughter asked him not to come farther,
as she did not want htm to get Into
trouble. At about that moment. Parker
fired the shot which caused his death
this morning.
Parker at once came to Elgin and
turned himself over to the authorities,
who released him on 810.000 bond. On
account of the lateness of the hour, the
evidence was not completed and Parker
Is still to have his freedom until the
completion of the hearing, upon the
execution of a bond for 825.000. This
amount will probably be furnished by
his father, who is a wealthy retired
rancher.

CHADWICK URGED
10 TRY FOR TOGA
Democrats Believe Their Man
Can Win Oyer Poindex
ter if Nominated.
ELECTION CHANCE SEEN
Edwin Chadwlck, Xon-Partlsan
Judge, Slay Enter Race H. 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

Horrified Companions on Hood Gla

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,

W. C. Tillson Finishes Long Buying
Trip In Automobile.
SALEM. Or., Aug. 8. (Special.) W. C.
Tillson returned today from a 1000-mile
automobile trip through Southern Oregon,
where he has been purchasing prunes.
He says conditions there are even more
favorable than In the Willamette Val
ley and that the prunes are of a superior
quality. He has packed 6,000,000 pounds
this year.
Today he received a cablegram from
Germany asking for 10 carloads of Ore

order. He is of the opinion that Oregon
will produce three-fourths of a crop this
year, or much beyond early expectations,
and prices are higher.'
