MILITIA IS EXPECTANT
WAR DEPARTMENT ASKS FACTS OF
MOBILIZATION CAMP.
Onion National Guardsmen Believe
Possible Intervention In Mexico
Under Consideration.
Members of the regron National
Guard are much interested in a report
which has been circulated to the effect
that the War Department in "Washing
ton, D. C, is conducting an investiga
tion of the mobilization camps of the
National Guard in the various states.
Some of the guardsmen believe possi
ble intervention in Mexico is being con
sidered. The mobilization- camps of the Na
tional Guard are maintained as places
for troops to assemble in case of a call
to arms. At the camps the troops
would be drilled, outfitted and re
cruited up to war strength before be
ing moved to the scene ot action.
Oregon has one of the best mobiliza
tion camps in the United States, sit
uated at Clackamas Station, on the
main line of the Southern Pacific.
"While at this season of the year the
grounds would be wet, it is said the
forces could be concentrated there
after being organized at the head
quarters in various parts of the state.
Adjutant-General Flnzer. of the Ore
Ron National Guard, said yesterday
that communications he receives from
the War Department are generally con
sidered of a confidential nature and
therefore he refused to state the full
purport of the mobilization investiga
tion, but he admitted that a communi
cation regarding that subject has been
received from Washington, D. C, and
is to be answered.
ENGINEERS SCAN ROUTE

worth Improvement Association at the

hoe, Sellwood. Milwaukie, Irvington

meht and promised that he would send
his engineers over the line at once.
The new route would be a direct line
from Milwaukie.

LEASE NEGOTIATIONS ON
SOUTHERN PACIFIC MAY HAVE OF
FICES IJT PITTOCK BLOCK.
Final Action Awaits Coming of D. W.
Campbell, Assistant General Man
ager, Now In Chicago.
Negotiations for lease by the South
ern Pacific Company of geperal office
space in the new Pittock building are
said to be progressing satisfactorily,
and it is probable that a contract will
be signed within a few weeks.
Final action ia being delayed on ac
count -of the absence of D. W. Camp
bell, assistant general manager of the
Southern Pacific, in Chicago, where he
is attending a conference between offi
cials of the Western railroads and
committees representing the engineers
and firemen on a new wage schedule.
The Southern Pacific is eager to se
cure increased quarters and it is un
derstood that under the new organiza
tion, enlarging the authority vested In
Mr. Campbell, additional office apace
will be imperative. Virtually all the
space now occupied by the Southern
Pacific in the Wells-Fargo building
will be absorbed by the O.-W. It. & M.
Company as soon as the former road
vacates. It is planned to move into the
Pittock block on or about May 1 in the
event that the lease finally is made.
Under the new Southern Pacific or
ganization the division superintendent
will be the supreme authority on his
division. Under the old system the di
vision superintendent reported through
the general superintendent to the gen
eral manager. Now he will decide all
questions of operation and minor ones
of maintenance. The Idea is to get di
rect action and eliminate correspond
ence. A similar system has been in
effect successfully for many years on
the Pennsylvania and other Eastern
roads.
This plan does away altogether with
the Hine system of operating organiza
tion, which the Southern Pacific tried a
few years ago, in common with the
Union Pacific and its allied lines. The
Union Pacific discarded the Hine sys
tem a few years ago.
er him a farewell dinner some time
next week.
