7 - Ending of Event.
Oregon's soldiers and a crowd of
aTout 6000 persons made the military
vournament at Multnomah field yes
terday an exciting: and interesting suc
cess. The soldier boys fought hard In vari
ous kinds of athletic and military
stunts for the $600 in prize money of
fered by the city and county, and the
crowd which filled the grandstand and
the bleachers and field to overflowing
added great enthusiasm.
The events were started at the con
clusion of the military parade. The
thousands had gathered at the scene
In advance and gave the soldiers and
sailors an ovation as they marched in
and formed at attention before the
grandstand. ' The veterans of the Civil
and Spanish wars formed in front of
the troops and watched them go
through the manual of arms and Joined
with the crowd In a wild demonstration
of applauding and cheering for the
boys.
The soldiers gave an exhibition drill
which won them great admiration
from all who know anything about
military affairs. With a wonderful
snap and accuracy the two battalions
went through all sorts of drills while
the crowd went wild with enthusiasm.
The drilling over. 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. In the broad Jump Corporal
Houston, Machine Gun Company, fir3t;
Private Stoutenberg, A Company, sec
ond, and "Private Hastings, B Company,
third.
In the high Jump Private Cook, Com
pany C, first; Private Lawrence, Ma
chine Gun Company, second, and Pri
vate Grosvenor, B Company, third. In
the 220-yard dash Private Wilson, San
itary Troop, was first; Private Springer
of H Company second and Private
EStone of E Company third.
The 100-yard dash was won by Cor
poral Houston, Machine Gun Company;
Private Grosvenor, Company E, sec
ond, and Private Wilson, Sanitary
Troop, third. In the 440-yard dash
Private Cronqulst. of Troop C, was
first; Private Grishaw second and Pri
vate Johnson, Machine Gun Company,
third.
Trooper Cronqulst apparently dropped
from the clouds. 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.
A highly exciting feature of the
tournament was a Roman horseback
race. Men from the mounted section
dashed on horseback three times around
the track. Private Bogyinski won first,
Mclvars second and Smith third, all
from the mounted section.
Others of the mounted detachment
thrilled the crowd with a rescue race.
Four men rode up the field on horse
back and after turning back dropped
off. Four other riders dashed to their
rescue. The rider making the rescue
and returning1 to the point of beginning
firet won. Privates Pierson and Kich
elbook won first, Hedley and Smith
second and Koon and .Galbreltb third,
A wall-scaling exhibition proved an
exciting event also. Four companies
entered squads of eight men each in
this. The competition consisted of a
dash of 25 yards to a 10-foot wall and
the scaling of the wall by the squad.
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.

any real soul-stirring stage. 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.

Senator McXary Gets . Complaint
From Washington That Mills Are

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.

that they look for early work of pav
