It was hard to tell which were the happier.' the wel comers or the welcomed. Both showed the pleasure they felt and it was re flected everywhere. The soldiers were loath, to entrain again, for Vancouver Barracks, where they are billeted pending muster .out. which will take place within a week or 10 days. They promised the home- ioiks they would return right soon. and then the Intimate gossip that made up the theme of the chats yesterday will be resumed. - - Soldiers Cheer Committee. Three cheers for the reception com mittee were given by the men as the trains pulled out of the station yards. And the next and final stop of the long Journey from Calexlco was Vancouver. The men detrained at the station, and with personal equipment on their backs marched through Vancouver's main streets to the barracks. With the guidons of the various units flutter ing In the sunshine, the men stepped along like true veterans that they are, and they attracted lota of attention in a city accustomed to military maneu vers and marching men. For the troops and the battery are splendid, efficient. military units. On parade they make a fine appearance; in action they would also be a credit to the state they rep resent. At the barracks the newcomers were welcomed by Major A. M. Edwards, who promptly assigned them to quarters. The commanding officers outlined to the men briefly the plans for today's entertainment, and Captain George A. White, in command, asked only that they continue the same conduct that they have shown during the time they have been in service on the border. Horses Are Unloaded. Then the troops. In regular military style, turned in and unloaded their horses and equipment. Out of the stock cars came the artillery and cavalry horses,- eager to escape from their cramped quarters, and showed their de light at again feeling the turf under their hoofs. Military routine continued for the men yesterday up to 5:30, when the bars were let down and the troops were given leave to come to Portland to visit their people. They must re port back for duty this morning at 9 o'clock, and early this afternoon they will all be back again, and Portland's welcome promises to be real and spon taneous. An invoice of ordnance was started promptly yesterday afternoon, but, due to the crowds that swarmed to the barracks from the Interstate bridge celebration, it was difficult for the men to get their work done. Visitors made up a tremendously big reception that continued at the barracks all aft ernoon. Captain George A. White heads Tfoop A and Captain C. W. Heme is commanding caitery &. company A. Signal Corps, Seattle, is commanded by Captain Jesse A. Jackson, with Lieu tenants Harry O'Brien, Cecil Bagley and Ira G. Holcomb. Troop B, of Ta- coma. la under command of Captain Hjirtwell W. Palmer and iLeut.enants M. C. Cramer and G. Cronander. Kver since the troop trains entered Oregon welcomes have been given the returning troops at almost every eta tion. Roseburg's greeting was notably warm and the Oregon men were made to feel they were again In their own state.. The demonstrations reached their climax at Portland. In addition to the men. their horses and impedimenta, a number of mascots rode home on the troop specials. Troon A- brought a Mexican burro, Mabel, and Battery A has Its famous rooster. Jeff, that has been a pet ever since the men pitched camp. In addition there were about 20 dogs and a Persian kitten on board. The men made great pets of their horses and the best of care was given 1 Battery A Lined Up in Front of Quartern at Vancouver Barracks. 2 Part of Crowd at Union Depot That Wel comed Returning.
