PALM CITY, Cal.. July 14. (Special
correspondence.) Yesterday morning
the general" sounded at San Ysidro,
and with the last notes of the bugle cal
every tent was struck. In 30 seconds
the mushroom city of tents flattened
out into brown canvas on the ground
and an hour later the companies of the
.intra Battalion were ready for the
move to Palm City.
By the time the troops finally pulled
out or San Ysido campground it was
"whole lot more spic and span than
when they came. There is policing and
then more policing. Every last scrap
of trash is picked up and burned. Kach
can is buried. Holes are filled. Oil
and fire remove all traces of the sani
tary conveniences, and clean earth cov
ers the burned-out pits. Tomorrow an
other camp could be pitched on the
same spot, and nothing from the first
would remain to make the second un
pleasant. Cleanliness Is Noted.
The men grow weary of this blg.-scale
housecleaning. An orange peel or a
cigarette butt looks as big as an ash
barrel would in the middle of Wash
ington street. And as for a spot of
dust in a gun barrel, why, that, "would
create as much disturbance as a blind
pig on Portland Heights, at least at in
spection time. Then, too, from the per
sonal physical standpoint, the men have
to make heroic efforts to maintain their
bodily cleanliness. Orders are for a
foot wash each day. Two baths a week
is the official minimum.
After some delay auto trucks ar
rived and by noon all the camp im
pedimenta was loaded, the new compa
nies, A and B, which were to occupy
the outpost position, had arrived, and
the companies of the Third Battalion
swung out on the dusty road to Palm
City.
The march was in heavy marching
order. Beside the rifle and belt with
90 rounds of ammunition, there was the
blanket roll, containing two blankets,
sweater, poncho and shelter half. The
last named, by the way, is half of the
Fhelter tents, which two men carry and
occupy during active work. Then there
is the haversack, with mess kit, socks,
towel, soap and such articles. All in
all, there is a-plenty to carry, topped
off with intrenching tools and bayonet.
It seems to be the most sensibly ar
ranged outfit that could be devised.
with the maximum of usefulness for
the minimum of weight.
The road from San Ysidro to Palm
City Is about four miles long. It was
a comfortable march, and the Third
Battalion was in fine fettle when the
dusty lines swung into the regimental
camp at mid-afternoon. A pleasant
camp it is, too. Palm City is a hopeful
community which boasts a number of
honest-to-goodness palms, some pleas
ant residences and a bracing sea breeze
from the Pacific which is distant to the
west only a couple of miles.
There are eucalyptus trees and or
ange arfd lemon groves, and a big level
space for the camp. Taken all in all.
Palm City is a first-class place for
regiment to camp. The climate Is posi
tively cool. Certainly, the Oregon
troops are remarkably lucky in their
location.
In a few days, or perhaps a fortnight
such things are uncertain), there will
be another move. This time it will be
to a location directly on the shore.
couple of miles west of here near Im
perial City. The "city" is a resort sort
of a place, with all kinds of ocean
beach and breeze, and a score of houses.
It is said that the troops are to have
all the comforts of a permanent - camp
there. There will be such luxuries as
wooden floors to the tents.
Imperial City "Winter Camp."
In fact, technically, it will be equipped
as a 'Winter camp." The very title
! worries the boys. This is July, and
Winter is a long way off. Prospects of
anything like Winter at Imperial City
don't appeal. Mexico City mig,ht be all
right, but everlasting training here
abouts doesn't compare wth the attrac
tions of home at Portland, Woodburn,
Corvallis, or Salem; say.
It is apparent that the Third Oregon
Regiment is especially fortunate in the
attention that is being given it. The
Oregon organization will be as well
equipped (is now, in fact), as any
militia body along the border, and In
finitely better than most, according to
triose wno know something of condl
tions elsewhere. That much credit for
this satisfactory condition is due
Colonel McLaughlin Is the statement of
veterans who have had a Jiand in other
mobilizations. His knowledge of the
ropes and his prompt action in going
after what his troops have needed has
brought prompt attention to the needs
or the Third Oregon.
There has Just arrived, and bv ex
press, a carload of camp cots. Here
after every man will sleep on a cot. in
stead of on a straw tick on the ground.
as heretofore. The last of the shoes
necessary to outfit everyone have ar
rived and are being distributed today.
In a day or two. it is understood, the
overwhelming luxury of a' second shirt
will be possible.
Close to 100 animals have arrived
for the regiment, exclusive of the cav-
airy. Troop A. The Troop, by the way,
is still stationed at the Exposition
Grounds at San Diego. There are eight
mules for the ambulance service, and
a pack mule for sanitary supplies. Un
der Major Marcellus the medical equip
ment and organization is hard at work,
its campaign thus far being one of
prevention far more than cure. In this
connection, everyone today received the
third "shot" of anti-typhoid prophy
lactic, and this time there are no very
sore arms. All hands are now insured
ngainst the worst diseases, and with
the careful supervision being given
everything affecting camp health, there
will be precious little chance for sick
ness to get much of a start.

Statement by the Trustee
Being placed in charge of the Fourth-Street
Department Store, I want to say a few words as
to this event.
The stock and fixtures will be sold and the
entire store to be entirely wiped out of exist-
ence. In looking over this large stock, J must
confess that in my 30 years experience in mer
chandising I never saw a cleaner and nicer
stock. The records show that at the time of
the attachment the firm was in business less
than eight monhs, making the stock entirely
new and complete. I can assure the public of
Portland and Oregon that they will buy the big
gest and cleanest bargains ever offered. I have
ordered the entire stock cut the limit. I want'
the entire city and state to be informed of this
event and to attend this unusual sacrifice.

A $500,000 rain fell in the Kogue

chardists. The rain averaged an inch
in 24 hours, and, according to County
Pathologist C. C. Cate, assures an out

grade apples and pears.
A heavv rain in July is very rare in
the Rogue River Valley. The last two

month. : In 1913 there was a good
downpour in July and as a result the
largest output of apples and pears in
the history of . the Valley up to that
time wa"s sold. The total number of
cars in 1913 was between 1100 and
1200. It is generally believed this rec

If there had not been a heavy lo

CALEXICO. Cal., July 18. (Special.)
Today was the real big day of the
month for Battery A of Oreeon. It -was
payday. In the line that fried into the
paymaster's quarters, sons of well-to
do Oregon families rubbed elbows with
more humble, but equally patriotic
citixen soldiers as the buglers call put
a halt to all activities about the bat
tery quarters. . Regulation shirts were
hastily pulled, over mosquito welted
backs as the . Oregon boys fell into
double file. The 600 allowed the
private for service rendered from June
19 to July 1 does not mean luxury.
The days are crowded with work
The drivers drill in throat parching
fashion, care for their horses and then
attend school. The cannoneers and gun
crews find no rest either. Each day
the three-inch rifles are trained toward
Mexican and problems of the firing
Hue are worked out . with dummy
shells.
The night guard has become ac
customed to the pop of ' a six-shooter
on the wide open Mexican side of the
border. Oregon's boys, however, are,
prepared to cope with any situation
and ample protection has been arranged.
Many letter from home convey an
idea that the hurried trip to the border
is regarded up there as a huge picnic,
but the Federalized militia cannot
apicnic between sand dunes without refreshments.
Work is the programme from dawn
to dusk. The officers after their day
of instructive work by long rides
obtain first-hand information as to the
character of the country. All are
pleased at the way they have met and
overcome the hardships of labor filled
days.
