As Gettysburg- was the high-water mark of the Civil War in mora senses than one, but particularly as to the number of troops engaged, so the 32d annual encampment of the vet erans of Oregon, now in session at this quaint little city, is likely to go down lii'hlstory as the high-water mark for future state meetings of the Grand Army in Oregon. The weather has been perfect. Tes terday was a. day to rave over, not a cloud in the sky until almost sundown, neither too hot nor too cold, no dust, no wind. Just a perfect Oregon day. Toward nightfall some fleecy clouds came up in the west and soon it began to look like rain, but none fell until af ter midnight, and then just enough to settle the dust, and this morning the sun came up in all Its glory, the open ing of another perfect day. However good the arrangement com mittees of cities where former encamp ments have been held may have been, I think all of them must "take off their hats" to the Newberg people, for here every detail has been perfectly ar ranged, every want and comfort of the visitors anticipated and supplied. Seats Bloat Comfortable. - The great skating rink has been turned Into a tabernacle of vast propor tions, with seats for nearly 1000 people, and comfortable seats, too. On the pol ished floor Is strewn about six Inches of chopped pine shavings, which dead ens the noise and gives forth a rather pleasing aroma. The meeting place for the Relief Corps Is -In one of the ca pacious lodgerooms, and rooms adjoin ing serve admirably for rest and lunch rooms. Tables to seat over 200 are ar ranged In these quarters and the table supplied with, dainties and substantials. The G. A. R. ladles meet in the opera house. The . women of the Relief Corps, as sisted by many Newberg women, have kept open house since yesterday, and their quarters are packed constantly. No account of the encampment would be complete without mention of the vet erans' fife and drum corps, and It would be unfair not to give the names of the old boys who form the corps, so here they are: Drummers, J. S. Vaughn, "W. H. Brooks, John Baldwin, E. B. Grant. John Kelly, D. J. Horsman, C. Bascue and O. C. Clyde; lifers, Abe Axtell (di rector). P. G. Wells, T. M. Kellogg, W. H. McClelland, J. T. McHolland, C. A. Stockwell, J. L. Butler and R. W. Iundy, The following members were unable to attend: James Myers. W. P. Miles, T. E. Kills, John C. Conifer, J. W. Adams, Henry Mfftz and IX R. Amden. Old Familiar Tons Heard. In the hall, on the streets. In the pa rades. In front of the hall before the meetings, these old veterans are in evi dence by their martial strains fre quently. And with what a vim. they beat and - breathe the old familiar strains, such as "Marching Through Georgia," "Maryland. My Maryland," "The Girl I Left Behind Me," "Amer ica," "Yankee Doodle," "Tenting To night on the Old Campground," "Pop Goes the Weasel." Indeed, they have a repertoire of a half hundred pieces, and they play each one like experts end With the vim of oollege. students. This morning In the parade they marched about a mile, and then marched back again, playing nearly all the time laughing all the time. Once in a while one of them would drop out for a drink of water or an- Ice cream cone. But only for a moment. Then he-would "double-quick it" back to his .place and go to tooting his fife or beat ing hlg drum. The parade was headed by the grand marshal, followed by the Newberg band. And, by the way. this band has been constantly at the command of the veterans and has furnished good music on .every occasion. Following the band in ine parade came about 75 babies in baby carriages, on toy express wagons. go-carts and push-carts, all decorated with flowers And a finer display of juuutfsiers or a more splendidly appar eied lot in finer decorated vehicles Is eeiuom seen in any city. Officials Come Next Then came the Mayor and the grand commander and' his aides, following wnicn was me ever-Dusy and ever-ores ent fife and drum corps, the veterans, about 260 of 'them, marching like youngsters. These were followA hv the Newberg band, and then came the women of the Relief Corps and the Women of the G. A. R.- The former is composed of loyal ladles, loyalty and respectability being the solo qualifica tions for membership. This order was eeiaonsnea 30 years ago and Us mem oers may well feel proud of the work mey nave done in cheering the friend less, comforting the suffering, minister ing to the sick, soothlntr tha rivt no- burying- the dead and comforting the beref t. The Ladles of the G. A. R. Is a newer organization composed of the wives, sisters and direct descendants oi xne veterans. These women also nave clone a noble work. In the parade there were about as many women of these two orders as there were veterans, and a finer, pleas-anter-faced or better-dressed column was never seen in Oregon, or anywhere else. Just how many people there are in town it would be difficult to say. Up to this evening the registration of veter ans shows 525 present, but it Is esti mated this number will be swelled to over 800 before the sessions close to morrow night.

OREGON CITY. Or, June 18. (Spe cial.) What appears to have been an attempt to set fire to the plant of the Oregon City Woolen Mills was made this morning, shortly after 3 o'clock, but was frustrated by John Dickens, watchman on the river side of the es tablishment, who opened fire upon the supposed incendiary, after the prowler had first fired at him. Investigation by the police and Sheriff's office re vealed a kerosene-soaked bundle of pa pers that had been dropped by the fel low in his flight. Following the re cent Socialistic troubles, special guards have been placed about all the indus trial plants here. Dickens called to the marauder, and the man in reply fired a shot at him and then dashed down a steep rock bank to the river. Dickens fired twice at the fleeing form. Dickens says he heard the man scramble Into a boat and row rapidly out Into the stream. The shooting at tracted special guards and policemen. and they summoned Sheriff E. T. Mass and Chief of Police Ed Shaw. The officers made a thorough investiga tion of the scene of the shooting, found a 38-callber bullet imbedded in a freight car standing on the mill siding and a roll of kerosene-soaked papers lying beside the path leading to the river. The Oregon Woolen Mills employs a large force of women and girls, and were the subject of oratorial attacks by Socialist speakers, who held street meetings in this . city Monday night. A double guard of deputies will watch all the mills and Industrial plants to night. Shortly after midnight last night pa trolmen surprised a group of men on the Southern Pacifio tracks near the woolen mills, but they fled at the ap- proaoh of the policemen. Aside from this, no loiterers have been seen in the city since Monday night. PRAIRIE CITY GETS WOMAN School Principal Also Ousted! by Ac tion of Oitixens. PRAIRIE CITY, Or.. June 18. (Spe cial.)

Poppet valve motor in official test falls far below the Knight record This is the story of two 38 horsepower automobile engines one a six-cylinder poppet valve motor of 1913 design, and the other a four-cylinder Knight sleeve valve motor built in 1909 four years ago. The poppet valve motor was tested by the Automobile Club of America the Knight by the Royal Automobile Club of England. The poppet valve motor was under observation 300 hours the Knight for 320 hours. The maximum power of the poppet valve was 44.9 the Knight S9. 1 The average power of the poppet valve was 35.7 the Knight 53. The minimum power of the poppet valve was 23.7 the Knight 51. At the end of the tests the poppet valve motor was found to be delivering less power than at the beginning, while the Knight showed considerably more. During the test of the poppet valve engine, valves were twice adjusted when the power fell off 'daring the test of the Knight motor no adjustments to the mechanism were made at any time. It is conceded that the poppet-valve motor which was thus tested is one of the most highly developed poppet-valve engines manufactured; that the test was conducted by the Automobile Club of America, is proof that it was accurate. Hence the superiority of the Knight type motor has been proven by the poppet engine itself and again supports the statement that The Steams-Knight "Four" is better than any poppet-valve "Six," and that only car better than the Stearns-Knight i our is tne oiearns-ivnigni oix M oores Motor Car Sixteenth and Alder Streets, Portland The most sensational feature of the 500-mile Indianapolis Decoration Day Race was the performance of a 25 H. P. Knight-motored car', which, although by far the smallest car in the contest, ran consistently throughout, averaged nearly 70 miles an hour, and did not take oil or water from start to finish, it defeated 19 high-powered foreign and American machines, and finished fifth behind cars of far greater power. dresses were given on the subject by Mrs. T. M. Walker, of Portland, and Lindley A. Wells, of Portland. Resolu tions were adppted commending the temperance attitude of President Wil son and some of his Administration, and other resolutions calling, for re newed activity on the- part of the church for the overthrow of the liquor power, local, state and National.
