Chaplain Gilbert, who was the official etentor, announced that the various Army and Navy auxil iary organizations had a big booth full of Ice cold punch for the soldiers and sailors and a rush followed. Women and girls served the punch and the boys drank their fill. Competition Quickly Started. Then started the athletic and mili tary competitions with Major Marcel lus, Captain Logua and Captain Stewart as Judges, Lieutenant Chenoweth as starter. Lieutenant Compton in charge of the Held meet and Will G. Mac Rao, The Oregonlan correspondent with the Third Oregon, as clerk. - Each company had picked its men to appear in the events and had them trained to the minute, the tournament having been looked forward to by the boys for the last two weeks. The first event was a 60-yard dash which was won by Private Wilson, Sanitary troops, with Corporal Hous ton, Machine Gun Company, second and Private Wauganan, of A Company, third.

How he managed to slip by the judges is not known, but he ran first. He gets no cash credit for having won the "race, because only soldiers or organizations that had been called Into the Federal service were entitled to any of the field events. In this event Private Stoutenberg, Company A. who had run In sev eral events, gave out and fainted near the finish. He was soon revived Dy Army medical attendants under the direction of Major Marcellus. Ha fully recovered later and attended the ban duet at the Multnomah Hotel. Roman Race Pulled Off.

B Company's squad won thia event, get ting all of its men over in 32 seconds. E Company was second in 35 seconds and A Company third in 37 seconds. At the conclusion of the events Chap lain Gilbert announced that the Oregon regiment will leave the state in all probability soon and that 65 men are needed to bring the organization up to full war strength. ' "Your country calls you," declared Chaplain Gilbert. "I'd rather enlist now than be conscripted later." The Third Regiment Band, which en livened the afternoon with music, played the "StarSpangled Banner" and the entire assemblage stood, with hats off. Every soldier on the field and in the grandstand stood at attention and saluted. It was an impressive sight. Colonel May, in command of the regi ment, then assembled the companies and led by the band and, cheered by the crowd, they marched from the field and to the Armory, where they" were re lieved of their equipment preparatory to the big dinner given for them at Mult noniah Hotel.

Perhaps the people were too deeply filled with emotion. It is best to hope so. Few Show Respect to Flag. One other lesson that this war must teach to the men who stand on the curbs and watch a military parade: To remove their hats when the colors go by. It Is reguired by all forms of mil itary etiquette and is nothing more than proper respect for the flag. Few er than one man out of a dozen did It yesterday. Probably the only exception to the lack of enthusiasm was manifested when the Grand Army Veterans made their appearance. They had the place of honor at the head of the procession and were vigorously applauded along the entire course. ..Many of -the "old boys" are lust as spry as ever nd ap parently would give a. good -account of themselves if ailowed to go into the trenches. Two Battalions In Line. The Third Oregon troops were led by Colonel John L. May and his staff. Two complete battalions were out, the other battalion, being- detailed on guard duty In various parts of the North west. The men and their officers show the effects of many months of careful training and clean living. They marched with a fine proportion of mili tary precision, every unit maintaining the same hieh standard. The machine gun company, with Its battery of sputtering motorcycles and rumbling ammunition autos, was the objectof much curious observation. A gaily-decorated automobile bore a veteran sailor in full uniform. He was Captain W. H. Hardy, the sole survivor of Commodore Perry's expedition to Japan of 1852. Oreeon Jaeklea Parade. A banner, carried aloft, proclaimed the contingent of 150 Oregon jackies, who had come down from the Bremer ton Navy-yard to join n the day's patriotic celebration. A group of white-uniformed naval militiamen, ready for any service, followed. In cluded In their number were several recruits, still In civilian clothing. The Coast Artillery Band led the boys of Troop A. Oregon Cavalry, unmounted. Troops B and C followed, the men, still awaiting the arrival of their uniforms, being in civilian dress. Battery A, in service uniform. Com pany A and Company C, of Engineers, and the Eighth Company of the Coast Artillery Corps rounded out the first division. The Firemen's Band headed the divi sion of Spanish-American War Veter ans, several hundred of whom were in line. The Sons of Veterans" Drum Corps also had a place in this division, coming in for its usual share of applause. The police escort was composed of officers, all of whom had served in the Spanish war. Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Steffe closed the column with a decorated horse and cart. Mayor Baker. General White and other officers reviewed the parade as It passed the Portland Hotel.

GUARD TO - MOVE SOON Senator McXary Gets . Complaint From Washington That Mills Are Burning Wood Because of Shortage of Cars. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. July 4. Astoria is laying plans to displace Portland as the chief grain exporting port of the Columbia River basin, and Intends, if possible, to have wheat from the Inland Empire, sold to the allies for export, shipped from Astoria- instead of Portland. The Oregon Senators and Represen tative Hawley today received letters from the president of the port outlining the plan in contemplation and stating that by September 15 Astoria will have grain storage facilities that will ac commodate 1,100,000 bushels of grain at a time. Astoria hopes through the aid of the Federal Government to have Northwestern grain for export shipped by rail to Astoria. Astoria Proposes to Get Grain. "Inasmuch as Portland cannot pro vide this season bulk grain storage,' says the port, "shipments of necessity will move from Astoria." Until a food bill becomes a law there will be no Federal official who can di rect the shipment of grain for export. Senator McNary s reputation as a worker is spreading beyond the con fines of Oregon. Today he received i telegram from Chehalis, Inspired evi dently by his efforts to insure an ade quate fuel supply for the Northwest. a&ylns that nUUona o( cords of wood are being destroyed at Western Wash ington mills because no cars are fur nished to move it to the consumer. The writer says there Is no coal shortage but that shortage of cars Is resulting in the wanton destruction or st quantities of firewood that might go far to avert a fuel shortage if it could be marketed. Guard May Move Soon. Senator McNary suggested that if the State Council of Defense undertakes a study of the fuel problem it should also Inquire Into the wood problem. The War Department made the sig nificant statement today that the Na tional Guard) of the Pacific Coast states will be in training camp at Palo Alto. Cai., not more than three months, and during that time will be quartered in tents. This is taken to mean that the West ern Guard, which is known to be ex ceptionally ' proficient, will be sent to Eurooe after onlv three months' inten sive training and probably will be on the battlefields of France by lata Fall or early Winter.

Benson, chairman of the State Highway Commission, declare that they look for early work of pav ing the six miles of Columbia River Highway in Hood River County that were graded In 1915 with the $75,000 bond issue voted by the county.
