TITE MORXTXG OREGONTA??. WEDNESDAY. JULY 7. 1915. NEW RECORD IDE BY NATIONAL GUARD Pitching of Tents in Quick Order Followed by Get ting Down to Work. DRILLS ARE SET FOR TODAY Kncampmcnt at Gearliart Largest In History, Sajs Adjutant-General White, With Average of 60 Men to Each Company. CAMP JACKSOX, Gearhart, Or, July . (Special.) With the grass knee deep and wet with water from the mist and fog of last night, the 12 companies of the Third Infantry and sanitary troops, Oregon National Guard, drilled with a vim this morning for three solid hours and then finished up the fore noon's work by spending an hour in learning from the v attached non-commissioned officers of the regular Array how to wear, pack and arrange the equipment. This all followed in record time the establishment of camp in the pitching of tents. The sun came out and dried the grass this afternoon, and the entire regiment was massed on a. slope of the encampment field and listened to a lec ture on personal sanitation by Dr. J. Allen Gilbert, of Portland. The drills of this mornins consisted of manual of arms, marchings and facings by in dividuals, squads, platoons and com panies. Recnlari Aid Guardsmen. Regular Army officers assigned to the battalions and non-commissioned officers assigned to the companies made suggestions to the various units as they drilled. It mattered not whether it was the private in the rear rank or the captain of the company that made a mistake, the error was corrected on the spot. The men took a keen interest in the three hours of drill in the wet grass and rests were few and far between. The drills of today were what is known as close order. As little time can be given to this class of work during the camp of instruction, as most of the time is to be spent on preparation for field service, the officers and men alike worked hard to accomplish all that could be done in the time allotted. Drill Today Different. There will be another three-hour period of drill tomorrow morning, but of a different nature from that of to day. The drills will be by companies and battalion units. Officers and non commissioned officers of the regiment will be divided tomorrow afternoon into groups according to rank, and regular Army officers and non-commissioned officers will take the units assigned to them on tactical walks to solve problems in patrolling. The clay following the companies will put into execution the information gained in the tactical walks. After the day's labors are over the Armory Athletic Club, which is com posed not only of the Portland com pany, but the valley companies also, will put on two six-round boxing bouts and three four-round preliminaries. The bouts are for the light and heavy weight championships respectively. J. Allen, of Company D. Northwest lightweight champion, and Sergeant Harry Hansen, of Company C, the pres ent regimental champion, will box for the regimental lightweight champion ship, and Charles Willoughby, the present heavyweight champion of the regiment, will defend the title against Dave Gunn, the Willamette Valley champion. Major Carle Abrams was obliged to return to Salem this afternoon on ac count of an urgent telegram, and Cap tain E. Moshberger. of Woodburn, will command the Third Battalion in his absence. Colonel Ludlow, command ing officer, and Lieutenant Bell, post surgeon at Fort Stevens, called official ly today on Colonel McLaughlin, com manding officer, and Major Marcellus, acting chief surgeon, respectively. Knot Time Is Made. The 12 companies of the Third Ore gon broke all previous records Monday in establishing its Summer camp. The first special train bearing the state troops arrived at 2:30. and by 6 o'clock the last train had arrived and all the tents had been pitched. Adjutant-General George A- White, in commenting on the encampment of this year, says the number in camp is the largest that ever attended an encamp ment in the history of the National Guard. The largest company in camp has 81 men and the smallest 46, an average of 60 men to each company. TKOOPA, CAVALRY, IS IX CAMP Tresidio of Monterey Is Largest Cavalry Post on Coast. PRESIDIO OF MONTE RET, Cal.. Headquarters Troop A, O. N. G., July special.) Troop A, of the Oregon Cavalry, arrived in Monterey Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock, and immediately proceeded to the Presidio and struck camp. Every minute of the time en route was utilized to the best advan tage in giving instructions and prac tical advice by the officers concerning the work which the troopers will have to do during the encampment. The Presidio of Monterey is the largest cavalry post on the Pacific Coast and during the Summer all the cavalry divisions of the Pacific Coast will he encamped here for cavalry maneuvers. At present there are three California troops, two Regular Army troops, one Utah troop, one Oregon and one machine gun company encamped here.

DALY REVIVES METERING SCHEME Commissioner to Ask Coun cil to Buy 1700 or 2000 Devices. He Asserts. APPLICATIONS ARE CITED Opposition to Plan to Sitend !, 000, Apparently In Hope of Pop ularizing Measured Services, Llkelv to Be Met. Once more water meters have bobbed up aa a municipal issue. In spite of the overwhelming defeat of the city-wide meter scheme at the re cent city election. Commissioner Daly announced yesterday that at today's meeting of the City Council he will ask for the purchase of between 1700 and 2000 meters for use where appli cations for meters have been made. Mr. Daly asserts he has that number of applications on file. Mr. Daly says he believes all water users wanting meters should be pro vided and he intends to urge the Council to adopt the policy of Install ing meters where property owners want them. Such a plan undoubt edly will be opposed on the ground that In following It the Water Bureau would add unnecessarily to its invest ment. Kaverlag of Meter lirrt treed. The new move follows a discussion which took place in the Council cham ber several days ago regarding a plan to permit meter users to sprinkle lawns every day, while flat-rate users are permitted to sprinkle only every other day. The theory of this is that the meter user pays for what he uses. Commissioner Bigelow opposed the theory on the ground that the flat rate user as well pays for what he uses. In some circles the proposed meter purchase plan and the plan to favor meter users is taken to be the start ing of a general plan to get a ctty wlde meter system by popularizing the meters. If meter users are given privileges that flat-rate users do not have, the supposition Is that meters will grow in favor. This, in conjunc tion with the policy of putting In meters where application is made, will result In a city-wide meter system ultimately, with the special privileges finally removed. Mr. Daly's fareesa llgiblrd. It Is doubted if Mr. Daly will suc ceed with his plan for the purchase of the meters, although members of the Commission said yesterday that they were not sure on the proposition be cause it has not been brought up of ficially. Commissioner Bigelow said he would be decidedly careful about buying meters In face of the recent meter vote, while Commissioner Baker said he certainly would oppose the purchase of any great numlxr of meters. Other members of the Council were away, but will be on hand today. The purchase price of 2000 meters would be $11,600 on the basis of the lowest price ever paid by the city for meters. The cost of installation of the 2000, on the- basis of $2.40 eaqh, would b $4n. making a total In- I lie err prom youi To measure the Victrola by its scope, its versatility, is to name with it every in-J.rUm-ent i e.mfusical world.
