PALM CITY. Cal.. July 17. (Special.)
More men from Oregon tonight
marched together than have assembled
in the uniform of Uncle Sam since
1898. It was the first regimental pa
rade held since the Third Oregon an
swered the President's call four weeks
ago. , .
All the companies of the regiment
but A and B, of McMlnnvill and Port
land, were in line as the' regiment
paraded past Colonel McLaughlin.
Those two companies were on outpost
duty at San Ysidro. but even without
them probably 1000 men In olive drab
stepped out to the inspiring music of
the military band. As the Oregonlans
stood at attention while the strains of
The Star-Spangled Banner" floated out
on the quiet evening air and the sun
sank into the Pacific, gilding the near
by hills of Mexico as it set, there was
not a man but thrilled with something
new of satisfaction that he was here
doing his bit for his country.
Troops EaKr Move.
Altogether, the boys were, pleased
with themselves and proud of their
regiment. Also, they are proud of Ore
Kon. and well content that so many of
her sons are here to show California
the Southern border will be cared for
if needs be.
Back at camp, after dark, the mail
was distributed, and. of course, there
was a hasty scanning of the news
papers for new developments to the
south.
"Any Mexican dope?" was the ques
tion the boys in the background shot
at the lucky men with the papers and
the candles.
"Not a blame word," disgustedly.
"Gee, there isn't enough doing to get
on the first page! As long as Mexico
stays on the inside, there's no hope of
anything but drilling for us."
It's safe to say that next to getting
orders to go home, nothing would evoke
more enthusiasm in camp than the news
that the Third Oregon is to cross the
border.
Y, M, C. A. Offers Amnsement.
A new camp institution was installed
this afternoon. It is the big Y. M. C.
A. tent, put up under direction of X. B.
Ilhodes, Oregon's interstate secretary.
R. E. Randall will he In charge lo
cally. Mr. Khodes will go from here
to Calexico and thence to Nogales,
Ariz., where the Idaho troops are sta
tioned. The tent here is 40 by 60 feet. It has
seats for 250 men. There is a piano,
two phpnographs, magazines, free
writing materials and five big tablet
where the men may read and write.
Outfits for volley ball and Indoor base
ball will be set up at the permanent
camp. A big feature will be an open
air moving-picture "show."
Mr. Randall discovered many of the
boys who formerly belonged to hifi
young men's club in Mount Tabor.
They are Sergeant T. L. Peery, Cor
porals George Graves. L. X. Ross, A.
K. Nelson and. Ward Holcomb and Pri
vates K. R. Ross. Harold Graham. Clif
ford Harris and Gerald Huff.
Money From Home Welcome.
Before the tables had been nailed to
gether in the tent an eager crowd clus
tered about them, and the many maga
zines were in quick use. The piano
cnee was not off the instrument five
minutes before it received its "border
christening" at the hands of N. C.
Nye. of Company D. who delighted a
crowd of listeners.
More checks are arriving to "sweet
en" the company funds. This means
better food in the company messes, and
naturally when the people in the home
communities contribute in tfcte way to
the comfort of their men folks h
front it is mightily appreciated. To
night there came a draft from Salem
of close to 1100 for Company M. The
fashion is spreading, and so far as the
men on the bonder are concerned it will

Krom San Diego, Expected,
Writes A. JU Stone.
Sidelights regarding the life of the
Oregon troopers on the border were
given in a letter recived here recent
ly by Jerome Stone from his brother,
Alfred L. Stone, Troop A. now in San
I.Uego.
"We drill every day now for about
four hours." writes Trooper Stone,
and if onyone has the idea that we
re having a vacation, you can tell
them that they are sadly mistaken.
There is always something to do near
ly every minute of the day. The only
time that we have to ourselves is after
seven in the evening. ' Then we are
off until after 11 o'clock."
The forms of entertainment that
await the troopers at their spare mo
ments are varied in their nature. Later
there will be a real diversion for the
troopers when about !5 horses arrive
for their mounts.
A move to a point about 0 miles
distant is anticipated, and Trooper
Stone predicts considerable wear and
tear from this initial ride. The boil
ing climate pictured in the minds of
friends at home is not yet a reality.
The situation of the camp near San
rlego has been favorable as to cli
mate, and the next station which the
troop expects to occupy is equally at
tractive for its temperature. They
will be near Campo. in the mountains.
"We are supposed to have the best
looking tent in the camp," says the
writer. "We have quite a garden fixed
up in front with geraniums and palms."
BY WILL, G. MACRAE.
CAMP BALBOA. San Diego, July 20.
(Special.) It was the immortal Will
iam Shakespeare that gave the world
the character who offered his "king
dom for a horse." Just now the big
puzzling question in Troop A is, where
are- the rest of the horses that were
promised to Captain George A. White
It was rumored the mounts were be
ing shipped from the remount station
at Fort Keogh. Mont.
The nearest that anyone can find
is that there have been horses shipped
from Fort Keogh. The last intelli
gence to be received by Captain White
was that the mounts are being gath
ered and will be delivered through the
general quartermaster's department.
This means if the horses ever get here
they will come to Camp Balboa from
San Francisco. According to Chemist
Private George Olson, on special de
tail to Troop A from the Medical Corps,
there are at present at Camp Balboa:
Horses A trace.
War Game la Studied.
While the troopers are resting on
their collective feet, not their horses,
the same hours of drill both rooming
and afternoon are kept up.
Since the troop has been in camp the
men have worked over every theoreti
cal war problem given, in the Army
BiueoooK, with all the theoretical prop
lems that either Captain White or his
two Lieutenants, C. F. Hogan and J.
M. Mackrow could think out. Kvery
problem has been worked out, both for
ward and back, and the boys are aboitf
convinced they know the book of the
theoretical war game; especially from
on foot, from cover to cover.
Because most of the troopers still
had a "hang over ' sort of too much

hard drilling was done today, but close-
order work. Some one has passed the
word along the line that the worse one
feels after taking the third and last
shot of the typhoid preventive, the bet
ter the evidence that that person
would be the one that would be most
susceptible to an attack of typhoid.
Afflicted Ones Not Cheered.
To those who were dopey and feel
ing out of tune in general there was
little balm in this theory.
When Trooper Moran came back with
the mail this afternoon it was evident
the folks at home remembered the boys,
for there was a small bundle of maga
zines. New, if Judge W, W. McCredie
would send to the. troop a box or two
ot baseballs the girt would be highly
appreciated. There is a baseball nine
in Troop A and it has uniforms and
plenty of bats.

troops of the regular Army.
To foster patriotic spirit and spread

pline, command and self-control that
