, THE MORXTXG OREGONTA. TUESDAY. AUGUST 13. 1916. 11 CAMP WORK LAUDED Williams College Man Back, , Praising Plattsburg. EAST GREATLY INTERESTED Fortlander Speaks Highly of Spirit Shown by Civilians Undergoing Array Training, and of Big Benefits Received. status of the Shields bill and the My ers- erris bill, dealing: with water power development, in reply to the copies of resolutions adopted by the Chamber urging the speedy enactment of those bills. - Mr. McArthur introduced the resolu tions from the Portland Chamber into the House Auguat 4. "The Shields bill has passed the Sen ate," he said in his massage to the Chamber, "but when it came up for consideration in the House the Adam son bill was substituted for it. and on the disagreeing- votes of the House and Senate, the bill went to conference. The Ferris bill, which passed the House last January and was sent to the Senate,- was subsequently replaced by the Myers bill, now on the calendar, and which, I believe, will be taken up at the opening of the December session. It is pretty generally agreed that the conference committees between the two houses on the Ferris-Myers bill WIFE OF" RETIRED BAPTIST PASTOR TO BE BURIED TODAY. Xjambert Wood, member of the class of 1918, at Williams College, son of Dr. W. Jj. Wood, who has Just returned I to this city to pass the remaining few weeks of the Summer vacation with bis parents, was one of the civilians I participating in the maneuvers at Plattsburg. The five weeks of stren uous training in which regular Army I instructors gave the "rookies mili tary drills, cross-country marches. trench-digging, target practice and real I lessons in offensive and defensive war fare, are estimated by Mr. Wood among I the most valuable experiences of his I life. "There is a fine loyal spirit back ot the men who go out to the Summer I encampment at Plattsburg," he said. I 'General Wood made a speech in which he said Plattsburg would be the sal vation of this country. He passed three weeks watching the work, being done. The entire East seems to be with the movement, and everybody takes a great Interest in their friends who go to the encampment. Distinguished Men Speak. " we had a great many distinguished visitors, and nearly every evening one of them would address the men on the significance of preparedness, or some related subject. Beside military and state officials, a number of prominent educators were there. we heard ad dresses by the presidents of Cornell. Princeton, Williams, and several other I colleges. "All the men at the encampment were I made of good substantial stuff, and some of the best stock in the country I was represented. The two Junior resi- ments were composed of college men, 1 or the equivalent, and the business and professional men went into the senior I regiments. "In my tent there were three Wil liams men. two Princeton men. two Lehigh men, and one from Rhode Island State University. There were 80 of us down from Williams, out of a total of 500. General Wood's Sob There. "General Wood's son was one of the volunteers, and Archie Roosevelt was ' In the company next to mine. There were college men from many well known families in the Junior regiments, while among the older men there were many figures of National reoutation. "The tralnincr we received it Platts burg will put a lot of stiffening into the backbone of this country. In time of war, the men would be recommended for commissions. The Army officers picKea out tne men for these Dositions. Mr. Wood concluded by expressing ma approval or tne men who at tended the encampment, whom he con sidered fine examples of a loyal and sturdy American type, upon whom th6 country in time of need could relji ior wnoienearteq ana unselfish devo tion. - 4 1 1 Mrs. Mary I.apham. The funeral of Mrs. Mary Lap. ham, of 1227 Weidler street, who died suddenly Saturday night, will be held this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock from Finleys funeral chapel. Mrs. Lapham was the wife of Rev. S. C. Lapham, for 11 years a Baptist minister of this city. Interment will be in Rose City Park. Cemetery. Mrs. Lap ham was 43 years, of age. She was the daughter of the late Dudley McCann. one of the fore most pioneers of Southern Wash ington and for many years an influential resident of Clarke County. Many members of the pioneer family yet reside in Ore gon and Washington. Mrs. Lap ham, is survived by her husband and four sons Oscar S. Lapham, manager of the repair depart ment for the Advance Rumely Company; Ray L. Lapham, a Reed College student; Stanton C. and Dudley Lapham. will be able to report something sat- isiaetory. "The situation as to the Shields- Adamson bill is problematical, although the conferees are now working on thie measure and I am hopeful that they will report out a bill that will be satisfactory."

Reid. who is in charge cf the Southern Pacific's lecture bu reau in New York, is visiting Portland to get new material for future work. She expects to visit all places of local interest ana to get some new photo graphs of local views. A consign ment of slides picturing the Columbia River Highway already has been sent to the Eastern headquarters. Mrs. Reid had Just returned from Coos Bay, where she got pictures and information representative of that country, which is being served by the Southern Pacific's newly completed line. 'O, M. Clark, president Portland Chamber of Commerce: President Wil son signed Army appropriation act Sat urday, containing $2,000,000 for citi zens' training camp. (Signed) George E. Chamberlain." This message, received yesterday from Washington, sets aside the laBt uncertainty that lay in the way of re cruiting of many business men for the encampment at American Lake, which is to begin August 28. Until the act was signed by the President there was no fund available to assure transportation, uniforms and maintenance to the recruits who joined the encampment, and this uncertainty and the possibility of the individual participants being put to heavy per sonal expense had deterred many from enlisting. With the matter of expenses and transportation set at rest, it is believed there will be an immediate and marked increase in the enlistments at the re cruiting headquarters on Washington street, between Broadway and Park. The item in the bill- regarding the encampment specifically provides for expenses of all who attend the citi zens' military training camp at Amer ican Lake, including transportation to and from the camp, subsistence in camp and an issue of Government uni forms to be worn. Thirty-five men have been definitely enrolled for the trip, and approximately 100 are in sight in the immediate re cruiting. It is the desire of the local committee to send as large a repre sentation from Portland as possible, and it is hoped that, in view ef the new condition that has arisen, there will be a great many citizens who will arrange at once to give their vacations to the training camp work. PLEA OF GUILT ENTERED Bootlegger Confesses When Offer of Leniency Is Made. Frank Miller, appellant from the Mu nicipal Court from a fine of $300 for bootlegging at 60 North Third street, entered a plea of guilty before Circuit Judge Gatens yesterday and was fined $100, on the recommendation of Deputy District Attorney Pierce. The trial of Miller would not have been held before Fall in the ordinary course of events, but in the meantime five witnesses were In detinue in the county jail. To secure their release and to save the state the expense of a trial, a mediation offer of a guilty plea and nominal fine was adopted.

Plaintiffs Say $144,932 accessary to Be Paid Goverameat to Get Title t Laad-Grant lnit. As a payment of 14,9S2.50 to the Government was necessary to obtain patent to 4B.972.4J acres of Oregon lands after the Oregon as California Railroad Company had been paid 121. 807.01 for supposedly clear title. An drew B. Hammond, of Portland, and Charles J. Wintop, of Waasau, Wis., filed suit in the Circuit Court yester day for damages from the railroad company for tha amount paiq the Uov- erntnent. The litigation grows out Of a eon- tract entered into August IS. 1901. and a supplementary agreement of July It. 1903, by which the purcnasa oc , 972.43 acres of timber lands tributary to the watershed and waters ef the Traak, Tualatin and Wilson rivers is agreed to by Messrs. Hammond and Winlnn About the time the land was acquired by the purchasers suit was begun against them by the United States. To confirm their title. Messrs. Hammond and Wlntoa applied to tne Attorney- General for a compromise of the suit, holding that they had acted in good faith, and should be allowed to avail themselves of the act approved by Con. grass en August Z0. 1913. by paying to the Treasury of the United States f2. SO an acre for all lands ef this grant. The Attorney-General permitted this. A payment of 1144.93J.69 was made to the Government and the United States patent was received conveying all right, title and interest to the lands. It is asserted that this payment was necessary solely because of the failure and neglect of the railroad company to convey to the purchasers a valid litis n accordance with their agreement of 1901.

PARK CONCERTS HELD UP One Commissioner Prevents Re sumption of Summer Programmes. The Municipal Parks have been with out music for a week, the last concert available under the funds having- been given last Wednesday, and the effort is atill on te seeure from the city funds to continue the (nusle through the real Eut.imer season. The dissenting vote ef one ef the Commissioners holds up the possibility of tne funds being made available for 10 days and by that time It would be too If to to be of any advantage this season.
