. hearts Say Goodbye.
TRAIN HAS CLEAR TRACK

Clackamas Camp Salem Men
Are at Range Also.
Stirring war scenes of "98 were re
enacted in Portland yesterday when the
first troop train to leave with Port
land men in Uncle Sam's uniform for
18 years pulled out of the Union Depot
at 2 o'clock, bound for the mobiliza
tion camp at Clackamas.
Wives and sweethearts waved many
a tearful good-bye as the soldier-tilled
cars straightened out for the run to
the militia headquarters. Friends of
the men cheered the citizen soldiers
and there were many envious glances
from the men who did not go.
The entraining- of the troops was a
scene that brought vividly to mind the
scenes of other days and the march to
the station from the Armory of the
khaki-clad guardsmen, led by the flag
and the band, stirred the city with
patriotism.
One hundred and fifty men were
aboard the first Clackamas-bound train.
'Two companies, B and F, of Portland,
were on board.

with more than usual care by the

track was given It and special rolling
jttock was assembled promptly to carry
the men and their equipment. Supplies
for the militiamen were dispatched at

ready on their arrival for tents to be
pitched and the peaceful Clackamas
country took on the appearance of an
. armed camp.

of the train and nothing was left un
done to handle the troop movement
Quickly and safely.

by others today and by tonight it is
expected that mobilization of the
entire National Guard of the state will

Some of the tension on the waiting
militiamen was relieved when the
actual start was made for the mobiliza
tion camp at Clackamas. The men found
waiting at the Armory for marching
orders tedious and they were more than
ready when the command came. Every
detail had been arranged and nothing
was overlooked when the boys In khaki
stepped briskly forth from the Armory
and began the short march to the sta
tion. Recruiting to Continue.

will still carry on recruiting until their
ranks are filled to the limit. Lieuten
ants were left in charge at the com
