(Special.) The Third Oregon Infantry.
Oregon National Guard, in a little more
than half an hour today became the
Third Oregon Infantry. United States
National Guard. It is the first regiment
of infantry to become an arm of the
fighting service of the United States
operating under the recently enacted
Federal militia pay bill.
The Third Oregon, one of the first
to mobilize when the call to arms was
issued by President Wilson in June, first
to be mustered into the Federal serv
ice, was the first to be mustered out.
The 1100-odd enlisted men who com
prise the 15 companies that were to
day mustered out entrained this after
noon and tonight will have stacked
their arms and baggafie in their home
armories. They will have rejoined their
families after a healthful three months
in the service.
l lnnl Re-Heir Called Off.
Fromptly at 9:30 this morning Cap
tain Kenneth P. Williams, mustering
oficer, called the troops to attention
on the parade grounds. Wet grounds
made it necessary to cancel the grand
. review that had been ordered by him
when the order to muster out was
Eiven the company commanders.
Colonel Clenard McLaughlin, who
completed his 19th year in the service
of the United States Army a few days
ago, commander of the Third Oregon,
was the first to be mustered out. Then
followed the field and staff officers, the
headquarters and supply companies,
the third battalion, the second battal
ion, the first battalion and the machine
gun company. ' "
The third battalion, consisting of
Companies I, K, L and M. of Woodburn,
Corvallis, Dallas and Salem, respective
ly, were mustered out first so that the
men might receive their pay and pro
ceed to their home armories before
evening.
By 11 A. M. all of the troops had
been mustered out and the men were
standing, one company at a time, be
fore the mess tent, awaiting their Sep
tember pay. In the final pay .was also
clothing allowances and mileage. .
Third Ilattalion Entrains Late.
The third, battalion did not entrain
until 3:30 o'clock, two and a half hours
later than was the original plan. The
mass of detail consumed more time
than had been counted upon. ,
Just before the third battalion en
trained. Major Carl Abrams, com
manding, talked to his men in an In
formal way, congratulating them upon
the splendid showing they had maao.
Thirty-eight thousand dollars was
the sum in charge of the paymaster
that was brought to Clackamas from
the First National Bank of Portland.
The money was taken from the bank a
few minutes after opening time and
brought here in a machine driven by
Captain Carl Ritterspacher. The cat
was well guarded by militia and regu
lar Army officers.
The first man to receive his pay was
Colonel McLaughlin, who drew $431.
Other field and staff officers then re
ceived theirs.
The captains will receive no pay un
til the property for which they are
held personally responsible has been
checked over. Shortages, if there are
any, are to be taken from the cap
tains' pay.
Captain Kenneth P. Williams will
stay here for at least ' ten days yet
cleaning up. There is enough cloth
ing, ammunition, tentage, etc., in the
storehouses here to almost outfit an
other regiment, and it will be sent by
Captain Williams to Washington. He
will also have clerical duties to clear I
up and there are still several members
of the Third Oregon who have not been
mustered out. He will muster them out
as soon as they arrive from the border
or are discharged from the hospitals..
Six Vet to Be MoNtered Out. .
There are at least six men still to
be mustered out. Four are attached
to the sanitary corps. They are Lieu
tenant V. C. Birney and Privates Frank
Powers and Harry Oatman, attached to
Battery A, and Private G. C. Olsen, at
tached to Troop A. Captain Daniel E:
Bowman, who is in the hospital, is an
other who has not yet been mustered
out of the Federal service.
The possibility of Colonel McLaugh
lin remaining as commander of the
Third Oregon Is a question. A special
dispensation was made in his case by
the Secretary of War so that he could
remain with the Oregon troops while
at the border, but now that they have
been mustered out there Is a possi
bility that he will be ordered else
where under the Manchu act.
The Adjutant-General of the state
now becomes a eivil officer. He has
little connection with the United States
National Guard. The officer whose
duties are closely aligned to those of
the Adjutant-General is now called the
disbursing officer.

prosperity was predicted by Judge
Kavanaugh in case of Republican suc

an era of prosperity, however," said
Judge Kavanaugh, "is an American

rights in all quarters of the globe."
S. B. Huston sounded a .warning
against Democratic promises, pointing
out that the free tolls plank in the
1912 platform had been sacrificed. -

ident Wilson refused to favor women's

gress because he maintained it had
been contrary to the Democratic plat
form." - -

EDUCATION IS THEME
Subject Is Presented at Meeting
Conducted by Redmen.
An educational meeting, at which

Paraffine Oil ,
Taken By Women
for Constipation
New Treatment of Lubrication
of Intestines Favored by
Many Women.
The new method of treating consti
pation by paraffine oil, taken inward
ly, finds ita strongest advocates among
women.
Since the discovery by Sir William
Arbuthnot Lane, a notable English
physician, that a highly refined petro
leum makes a most valuable preventive
for constipation, the medicinal use of
this product has increased by leaps and
bounds, and especially its use by
women.
The feature of this new remedy that
appeals to most women is that the pe
troleum is not a laxative in the ac
cepted sense of that term, nor does it
act at all like a laxative or cathartic
It is purely mechanical simply lu
bricates the intestines, softens the con
tents, and a natural and easy move
ment naturally follows.
Ameroil is not absorbed into the
system; it contains no poisons and no
drugit is simply a highly refined,
pure product of petroleum, tasteless
and colorless. It is easy to take, and
the results are satisfying and agree
able. Ameroil is sold by all Owl Drug
torea a full pint bottle for 50 cents.
Immanuel Lutheran Church, introduced
Mr. Wiley, and also gave an address
on "Patriotism and Education."
Mr, Wiley gave an illustrated lec
ture on "the work that is being done
in the Portland public schools. The
lecture was to have been given by
School Superintendent Alderman, who
could not attend because of a School
Board meeting. A large audience was
present and the speeches were preceded
by two musical numbers.

not believe her demented."
