past two weeks at the ranch or K. t.
Scott, secretary of the Commercial Club,
returned to the city yesterday with a
portion of his hair gone. Mr, Bloom
had been working In the garden and
making a lawn on the ranch. He was
taking a nap after lunch last week,
when a squirrel that has been making
Its home In the house this Winter,
evidently thinking his long black locks
would make an excellent lining for a
nest trimmed off a portion of the hair
while he slept.
"The rodent's teeth must have been
sharp." says the photographer, "for I
could scarcely feel him at work there
cutting away the hair. I must have
moved In my sleep and In his excite
ment he evidently pulled some of the
hairs out Instead of cutting them. This
awoke me and I let out a yell that
almost frightened the squirrel to death.

pany has been engaged in the construc
tion of a monster dam in the Klamath

WOOD'S POLICIES UPHELD
Secretary Garrison In Sympathy
With Chief or strr.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, March 25. Democratic politi
cians may get the scalp of Major-Gen
eral Leonard Wood, as chief of staff of
the Army, but they will not destroy the
Wood policies. This was made plain
by the retent announcement of Secre
tary Garrison, the new head of the War
Department, who in a signed statement
completely indorsed the reforms In
augurated by General Wood, and at the
same time took Issue with Chairman
Hay. of the House military committee,
and other Democrats who have arrayed
themselves against Wood. In the hope
of forcing him out of his present high
command.
The probabilities are that- Genera!
Wood will be continued as chief of
staff of the Army to the end of his
rour-year assignment, for another year.
he havtng been chosen chief of staff
In April. 1S10. Of this there is a slight
doubt, however, because Congressional
pressure is strong on the President and
Secretary of War to eelect another
head for the Army. General wood has
made many enemies since he became
chief of staff. Most of his enemies are
politicians, amis It Is these political
enemies who are barking at his heels.
Inasmurh, however, as Secretary
Garrison has placed his stamp of ap
proval unon the reforms inaugurated
by General Wood, and has gone to the
extent of committing himself to the
legislative policy, advocated by the
chief of staff. It will be difficult for
the politicians aforesaid to force him
back Into the line before his four-year
detail Is completed. If the Secretary of
War. speaking with the approval of
President Wilson, approves unreserved
ly the Wood policies, it would be" In
consistent on his part to replace tho
agitation, in the hope that this Ad
ministration would yield to the entrea
ties of the politicians, even though the
Taft Administration turned a deaf ear.
With General Ainsworth. It is merely
a question of squaring accounts with
Genoaal Wood. He -could not hope to
regain his own power, even though
General Wood's detail should end, for
he is now on the retired list and will
stay there.
Where Secretary Garrison has hurt
Chairman Hay most, however. Is In
sustaining that feature or the Wood
policies which calls for a shorter term
of enlistment. Kepresentative nay,
backed bv General Ainsworth. has been
demanding an extension of the enlisted
period to seven years, whereas General
Wood and Secretary Garrison arc no.
vocatlng a shorter term, for the rea
sons made plain by the Secretary In
his recent statement. They want a
three-year, or even two-year enlist
ment In order that a greater number
of Americans shall receive military
training and be available for emer-
srencv service In time of war.
General Wood nas nanmea mese
subjects from a practical standpoint.
He has Ignored sentiment ana nas
worked out reforms which he believes
will ouerate for the betterment of tne
Armv and for the better preparation
of the country In the event or war. sec
retary Garrison studied his recommen
dattons carefully before committing
himself, and when be did speak he
heartllv Indorsed the position of Gen
eral Wood In all important particulars.
The probabilities are - that General
Wood will continue as cnier ox sranr
