AT LAKE DRILL HARD Circuit Judge Gantenbein Put on Kitchen Police De tail at Camp. . ALBANY PASTOR IN RANKS 'Rev. Franklin II. Geselbracht Learns Arts pi AVar Men Go Through First Real Application of , Army Life Yesterday. TACOMA, Wash., Auff. 29. (Spe cial.) Real work began today at the Business Men's Military Camp at Amer ican Lake with 117 men following the routine set down by the War Depart ment. Men from all walks of life are there. C. U. Gantenbein, judge of the Circuit Court at Portland, drew a de tail as kitchen police today and was seen waiting on table, while the other members of his company had dinner. Rev. Franklin H. Geselbracht, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church at Albany, Or., is another ardent advocate of preparedness who is working: hard to learn the arts of war, although, in civil life his is a mission of peace on earth, good will toward men., Portland is now in the lead in the number of men in camp, 35 coming from there. Men Are Hard to Rouse. Today saw the first real application of the daily routine and the words of reveille, or the first morning call, as sung by the regular Army troops, described the efforts of the trumpeters to arouse the tired and sleepy men. for another day's intensive cultivation in the school of the soldier. ' Following the morning call the citi zen soldier students fall in for setting up exercises and then came the stirring tones of mess call. It is good, wholesome fare which is served at meals and after 15 minutes of setting-up exercises the average man is ready to eat hard-boiled rail road ties or sole leather, a la mode. Borne of the citizen soldiers were given their first application of anti-typhoid serum, but no cases of sickness were reported. The citizen soldiers had a. breathing epell after the morning drill, but the trumpeter announced officers' call. Mess call was sounded after the first sergeants had submitted their reports and after dinner the routine, was much the same, with another derogatory call about the character of the camp soup at 6 o'clock. Real Work Is Begun. Today's work was the first real labor of the camp.. Although the elementary work of the soldier was scheduled for Monday, most of the day was given over to organization. Today they set tled down to real drill. Rifles were issued to the men and they were given the manual -of arms in addition to the foot evolutions needed in marching. This was divided into periods of one hour each, and by the time the two hours drill had been completed most of the recruits were of the opinion that the service rifles weigh in the neigh borhood of one ton. The afternoon periods were devoted largely to lectures. Talks were made on the use and care of thg rifle and later in the afternoon Major R. E. Longan gave a lecture on sanitation. "We are now right in the swim of camp routine," said Lieutenant-Colo nel U. G. McAlexander, commanding officer. am able to announce that arrangements have been made to take care of the subsistence of the men and to loan them uniforms. This will ma terially cut down the cost of the train ing period. We are adequately pre pared to handle all the men we now have and could take care of twice the number with little more effort." Harry Whitney Treat, millionaire sportsman of Seattle, worked cheer fully as a waiter today. It is his sec ond year in camp. FIGHTING AUT01ST FINED CT7S ZAHN PAYS FOR IMPROPER LIGHTING.

KUMASAKI TO GO TO JAPAN" SEIT MOXTH. t Imperial Representative Here Will See His Mother In Toklo Portland Is Left With Reluctance. K. Kumasaki, who for nearly two years has been at the head of the Imperial Japanese Consulate In Port land, recently was granted a leave of absence and will proceed to Japan early next month. For the last five years Mr. Kumasaki has been stationed in consular posts outside of Japan and, although he passed through his native land about three years ago on his way from Man churia to the United States, he. has had no opportunity for a visit. The present trip will allow him to visit his mother, who lives in Tokio. A Drother, who has Just completed course of study at the Imperial Uni versity, will be among the persons to greet the Portland -Consul when he reaches Tokio. "I feel rather reluctant to leave my surroundings here," said Mr. Kumasaki yesterday, "for no set of people has seemed quite so congenial to me as the friends I have made here. During the time that I have been stationed here the Portland people have shown me every kindness and I feel as much at home as I -could feel in Japan. "However, it is becoming that I should renew associations with my own people. As well as I like the Ameri can people, I should not like to lose touch with my own. Besides, I feel that once in a while a few new ex periencea are sure to invigorate the mind. 1 have been in active service for five years and during that time there has been little relaxation. A few months of rest, I am sure, will give additional vigor for my work. "I am very curious to see the changes that have taken place in Japan. No country has changed so much in the last ten years. There has been change of Emperors since I was in Japan last. Besides, there have been two or three new Cabinets and three Ministers of Foreign Affairs." Mr. Kumasaki regrets that his visit cannot last until cherry blossom time. "I have not seen the cherry trees in blossom for many years," he said. "But this year I shall see the chrysanthe mums in bloom. Also. I shall be Dres ent to celebrate the birthday of the Emperor, which occurs on October 31 There will be a great review of the Japanese troops on Wiis occasion. The Minister of Foreign Affairs usually gives a large ball on this occasion, and all of the high Japanese officials will be seen among the assembly. "The consulate during my absence will be in charge of L Gomyo, who has been here with me since I came. He i thoroughly equipped to assume the duties of the Consulate." Fl COOS BAY MAST ATTEMPTS TO MUR DER WOMAN NEIGHBOR. Andy West, Crazed by Liquor, Shoots at Mrs. Elliott and Drives Persons Away at Point of Gun. NORTH BEND, Or.. Aug. 29. (Spe cial.) Andy West, a fisherman, ran amuck this afternoon, after imbibing too freely, and fired point blank at Mrs. Elliott, a neighbor resident of a scow house on Pony Inlet. West's aim was not true, the bullet missed her, and in the meantime she grappled with him and threw him out of her house. Aft erwards West drove everybody from the causeway between North Bend and Bangor at the point of his gun and finally a butcher knife. Police officers were called, but could not locate the man. Deputy Sheriff Laird, who was passing through the city, was called from the train to cap ture the man and finally found him at his home, where he threatened the deputy with an ax. He was disarmed and placed in JaiL He will be tried Wednesday before Justice Shuster. When West entered Mrs. Elliott's house, he said he was sroinsr to kill her and himself and forthwith fired the wild shot. On the causeway later he pointed a gun at a 13-year-old girl who was returning home and then chased children and others from the bridge, wielding his butcher knife. Meeting la Postponed.

Oregon to Feel Expansion. A milk-condensing plant equal in size to any other In the United States, to be erected on the Pacific Coast in the neighborhood nf Portland, is a Dossibil- ity announced yesterday by C. E. Rog-" ers, of Detroit, Mich., agent for the largest milk-condensing machinery company in the United States. Mr. Rogers, who arrived in Portland early in the week, has made a hurried investigation of conditions here and an nounces that after his report is filed In the East there may be a large plant erected on the Coast at once. "I am looking for a supply of a thousand pounds of milk a day," he said last night, "and unless this amount' can be produced here within a year, the factory cannot be located. But there ems to be a reasonable assurance. and I expect the deal to be completed very shortly. Condensing Trade Increases. "There has been a great increase in the mild-condensing business since the war. The belligerents have eaten up their milk cows and will depend on the neutral countries for milk. 'There is a great shortage of con densed milk in the East. I recently had a talk with the manager for Libby, McNeil & Libby, the people who en gage extensively in the condensed-milk industry. He told me that his firm was already 200,000 cases short and that they had orders for 500,000 cases more than they could supply during mo year. I received a hurried order for more condensed-milk machinery, and I turned over a set of equipment that had been waiting eight weeks for space in a trans-Atlantic freight carrier. The machinery couldn't be moved to Europe, so it was installed in this country. There are" still orders for more milk machinery. Europe will receive all of its milk from this country as soon as our facilities can be expanded. Oregon to Feel Expansion. 'The expansion will probably take place in Oregon. There is already an end to the supply in the East, for the production there had reached the limit a long time ago. Recent plants I have installed are owned by the Borden Condensed Milk Company, the Charles E. Hires Com pany, Libby. McNeil & ubby and the Wisconsin Condensed Milk Company." The benefit to the farmer from a milk-condensing plant is highly esti mated by Mr. Rogers. The farmer is able to know what he can receive from his milk all the year round, and the effect is like that of receiving a month ly salary. Mr. Rogers, who was registered with his family at the Perkins, left yester day to reach Detroit before the threat ened railroad strike. NEW STORE JILL OPEN SEATTLE MEX ESTABLISH CLOTH ING HOUSE HERE.

An extensive new clothine business will be inaugurated in Portland Satur day with the opening of the large up stairs quarters of the Fahey-Brockman concern in the Northwest building. Sixth and Washington streets. we are enterinE business here" said R. E. Brockman. "because the in tense development of our Seattle busi ness has proved the value of our idea. We have saved the customer a lot of money by eliminating the usual over head expenses of the clothiner store. Our new location is on the second floor where the reduction in rent is a saving to the customer. We. are installing no costly fixtures and will carry no ex pensive system of credit. Purchasing in large quantities increases the buyintr advantage of each customer. "The management of a big business is no more expensive than the man agement of a little one. It is no mow costly to send a buyer East for out firm, with its two large stores, thai to send a buyer for one small store." The Portland business of the Fahev- Brockman concern is an expansion of a large and thriving business that was established in Seattle five years ago. For a while, the Seattle store occupied an ordinary office room. Later, after Seattle men had become convinced by ine advantages or the upstairs saving scheme, the business developed, and to day the firm does the largest business in its field. x T. P. Fahey, Mr. Brockman's partner. will remain in Seattle to conduct that end of the business, while Mr. Brock man will have charge of the Portland house. SPEAKING TOUR PLANNED M. V.

However, Mr. Goodsell res announced that two, steamers will sail from New York with box and barrel apple cargoes on about October 1 anl November 1, re spectively. Whether prune shipments will be ac cepted on these ships that are to be devoted almost exclusively to apples has not been learned. The prune packers of the Northwest have made arrangements whereby a portion of the amount of shipments sent last year will be admitted to England aftei November 1. Marketing arrange ments have been or can te made, but the question of shipping space is still undecided. J. S.

The doctor said it waa three years coming and gave me medi cine for it until I was called away from the city for some time. Of course I could not go to him then, so my sister-in-law told Ime that she thought Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound would cure it. It helped both the Change of Life and the tumor and when I got home I did not need the doctor. I took the Pinkham remedies until the tumor was gone, the doctor said, and I have not felt it since.
