NEWBERG, Or.. Juno 18. (Staff -Correspondence.)
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.

Prowler and Watchman.
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.

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

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.
