WITH THE THIRD REGIMENT OREGON INFANTRY, June 29. (Special.) Oregon City had the privilege yesterday of witnessing a battalion in full field equipment and a battalion wagon train. While it is true that the natives of the Willamette River city were not notified that the soldiers were coming and their passing through the town was a part of the sixth week schedule, those few, the working force at the City Hall, three boys, a stray dog and the Sheriff, got a glimpse of the real thing. Maybe it's telling, but the men who took the road march did stretch the number of miles scheduled for the march. And Just to show how cheer fully the men in the olive drab are taking this big Job of learning to be soldiers, they, at their own request, asked to march farther than the sched uled number of miles called for by the sixth week schedule. Scheduled Distance Exceeded, This road march Included letter com panies, the machine gun company, the sanitary troops and the supply com pany with its mule wagon train. The battalion went several miles beyond what was called for, yet these miles were covered under strict military ob servations governing road marches, and still the trip to and from camp was kept to the second. The schedule gave the hours from 1 P. M. until 5 P. M. The hand of the clock at head quarters pointed exactly at 5 o'clock when the last company marched into its company street. The march was not without Its hu morous Incidents, though it was void of distress to the men or accident. One soldier managed to forage a drink of cider from a farmer and he enjoyed an attack of colic for his pains. The colic pains were not severe, but the soldier learned a lesson from that. He will be shy in accepting favors while out on another road march. That is one breach of marching discipline barred by the rules of the game. No drinking of water until the sanitary officer pronounces the water fit to drink, or of eating things gathered from orchards or other places by the wayside. Individual Cooking; Good. The small boys met along the route enjoyed the sight of so many soldiers marching. There was humor when it came to the individual cooking. Each soldier had a piece of bacon, potatoes, coffee and bread. Some had the real Army hardtack. This individual cook ing also was done according to sched ule, and even If a few did muddle a little, lose their dinner and had to for age from a friend, the individual cook ing was well done. This is the report made by Major Marcellus, who Inspect ed the food after it was cooked. The stunt developed the fact that most of the soldiers knew how to build a small fire 1n order to get the best and most comfortable cooking results how to cook bacon to a delicate brown and how to fry their potatoes and boil cof fee. All this was done with their own mess kit. A small boy gave Company L a pet chipmunk and another his pet rabbit as souvenirs. Company clerks have been busy all week on the June payroll. The fact that the June payroll is the first the soldiers are to get the increased pay caused the extra work.

The same may be said of the trollers outside; a few are re ported to. have caught as nigh as 4uu or 600 pounds to the boat, while oth ers gel nothing. Testerday one purse-seining craft came in from off the mouth of the river with three chlnooks and two steelheads. However, everyone believes that a big run of salmon will enter the river as soon as the weather and water conditions are favorable. The season is late and this means the fish-will be late. MRS.
