surance man.
It is stated in the will that the two
chief beneficiaries, Mr. Strong and Mr.
Mead, are long-time friends of the de
ceased. For more than 40 years Thom
as Strong and his father. William
Strong, had been the legal advisers of
Mrs. Faling and had counselled her
erenerally in business as well as legal
xnatters.
Mr. Mend Was I.Ifce a Son.
Mr. Mead, it was stated, had been a
inend of Mrs. Faling for the past 20
years and during the past five years
especially had looked after her every
want. It was he who had arranged
for her securing comfortable apart
ments on Washington street, where she
had lived as a girl, and in general was
always solicitous for her personal com
fort.
To William E. Metzger, clerk at the
Imperial Hotel, was given a bequest
of $3000 because of his many kind
nesses to Mrs. Faling during the past
few ears, while a bequest of $3000
was made to Carl Schieck. a son-in-law.
This estate Is the first large Port
land estate to be filed for probate since
the enactment Of the recent amended
state and Federal inheritance tax
laws, and, according to John F. Logan,
attorney for the estate, a total of about
$25,000 will have to be paid in state
and Federal inheritance taxes durin
the present year. The estate will be
taxed more than ordinarily because the
bulk of the fortune was not left to
relatives.

Although the petition for the pro
bate of the estate sets forth that it is
valued at $451,000. it was stated that
the real value would amount to at
least $600,000. The property alone is
Valued at $215,000, this valuation being
determined by the assessed valuation,

more than $300,000.

which might be made against the will.
Mrs. Faling stipulated that the sum of
$1 each is bequeathed to all who might
claim relationship or a part of the es
tate. Thus far but one man has claimed
a relationship to Mrs. Faling. He is
Tyler Smith, of Sheridan, Or., who ar
rived in Portland immediately after
Mrs. Faling's death last week and said
that he was a first cousin.
Mrs. Faling left approximately $160,-
000 in cash on deposit in a Portland
bank and further left notes and mort

the petition for the probate of the will.

made as follows:

of $10,000 to Cornelius Barrett, whom
she termed her "so-called brother.

should revert to the estate in the event
of his death before her own. Mr. Bar

bequest she stated that it was made in
lieu of court proceedings, which or

diet ENefr Is Meeting Success In
King In South and Leo Houck
Also Is Getting Along
Fine, Says Visitor.
Rut Lincoln, the aggressive Los An
geles middleweight, is in town looking
over the Rose City. Lincoln is the as
sistant property man for George Walsh,
the famous ox film company star,
who is a Portland visitor. He also
serves as Walsh's trainer and keeps the
athletic movie star in trim so that he
can provide the film fans with his feats
of athletic daring and daredevil Btunts.
Lincoln has met all the good middle-
weights around Ios Angeles and South
ern California, and has a bout on at
Vernon the latter part of this month.
When in Los Angeles he works beside
Chet Neff, Len Powers and Leo Houck,
all of whom are well known in Port
land, having boxed here many times at
the Rose City Club.
Chet Neff is boxing right along In
the South and has met with great suc
cess in the moving picture game, be
sides winning most of his bouts. Neff
and Lincoln will make a trip to Seattle
in a few months, where each will box.
and then try to land matches in Van
couver. Leo Houck is also getting along fine.
according to Ray, and is on his way
to Seattle for a visit with his folks.
While in the Sound City Houck will
take on a few local boys.
Len Powers is a cameraman and has
retired from the ring for good, having
settled down to the married life and a
good Job.
Al McNiel, another Portland boy who
is in Los Angeles, is with the Keystone
Comedy Company and has not done any
ring work during the past year. He
probably will not re-enter the game.
Lincoln. will start for Los Angeles to
day with Walsh and his company,
which Includes Paul Powers, the well-
known film director; Sena Owen, the
beautiful Fox Film actress, and Fred
Burns, exponent of the Wild West.
The whole party has been taking part
In scenes on the steamer Great North
ern for a coming release of George
Walsh s on the r ox programme.
Walsh is quite some boxer himself.,
It has been suggested that Walsh and
Douglas Fairbanks meet for the mid
dleweight championship of the moving
picture world. It would be a good bout
and should draw a big house, and the
public should not be surprised to here
of boxing promoters bidding for the
match in the near future.

THIRD OREGON UNIT ORDERED
ON DUTY OUTSIDE OF STATE
Engineers Arrive at Camp and Will Begin Target Practice Soon Officers
of Guard Face Examination in Near Future.
BT WILL G. MAC RAE. i
WITH THE THIRD REGIMENT,
OREGON INFANTRY. July 9.
(Special.) Thanks to matrons
and maids of Oregon City, the regi
mental hospital medical fund Is between
$400 and $500 richer today. And that
is not all the ardent women of the
city are hard at work and will endeav
or to increase the fund several hundred
dollars more.
This hospital fund Is one that Is
spent for the sick and wounded that
are receiving treatment in the regi
mental hospital. It is the treasure
store from which the little luxuries
fed to the sick are obtained, and is
always most carefully guarded.
The money, which was raised by Mrs.
William R. Logus, wife of Captain
Logus, regimental adjutant, and the
women who aided, was the result of the
band concert and dance which was held
Saturday night at Oregon City. The
sum of $400 is already in hand and
was turned over to Colonel John L.
May. There is more to be collected.
Colonel Dentler Pralaes Soldiers.
Colonel C. E. Dentler, In charge of
the First District of the Sixteenth Divi
sion, delivered a soldier talk to the
officers and men who left today for
duty somewhere outside of the state.
Colonel Dentlera talk was the best
ever listened to by the men of the
Third Oregon. It was a soldier's talk,
one of world-wide experience as an
Army officer and keen observer, to
soldiers that are ' In the making.
Colonel Dentler spoke in glowing terms
in appreciation of the American sol
dier, and he declared, without equivo
cation, that the American soldier, taken
by and large, as a fighting man, once
he became familiar with what was ex
pected of him. did what soldiers of
other nations did, and did that some
thing better and more thoroughly.
The American soldier is in a class
by himself," said Colonel Dentler.
"He is a superior fighting man,- better
educated and has greater initiative,
therefore he makes a formidable foe. !
Tou men have been reading about what
the soldiers of the Allies have been do
ing on the battle fields of Europe. Just
be soldiers yourself, and you, when
you reach Europe, will find yourselves
doing the same thing. What is best,
you will be doing this same thing bet
ter." 'Engineers Arrive at Camp.
Colonel Dentler's faith in the ability
of the American soldier, is not of a
man who quoted what some one else
had said, but he spoke of the American
soldier and his "ability, from first hand
knowledge. It came from his long ex
perience in the line of duty and watch
ing the American soldier on foreign
battle fields. It was a talk with the
true soldier punch in It, and one that
won't be forgotten soon by those who
had the good fortune to hear it.

Douglas Gillette, United States En

arrived in camp shortly before noon

The engineer officers consist of ma
jors, captains and lieutenants and
among the 331 members of the class are
engineers of National reputation and
experience. Many of them, in respond
ing to the call for army engineers, left
positions and projects in civil life that
meant the sacrifice of princely incomes.
Yet there never was thrown together
a set of men that displayed more keen
interest in what is before them.
Although the engineer corps has only
recently arrived at Vancouver Bar

them much Is new and strange, yet
they fell to and established camp as

Dentler was instructor there. They

week.
Officers Face Examination.
It Is easy to see that officers and
soldiers ore Just children grown up.
Just now there are a number of offi
cers who are facing, not without some
little dread, an examination. Colonel
Vernon A. Caldwell. 44th Infantry;
Captain Francis R. Endleott, 14th In
fantry, and Captain Edward W. Stew
art, of the Third Oregon, are to be
the examiners. A peculiar feature of
the examination is this: Captain Stew
art Is himself a provisional officer and
he and Captain Briney and Lieutenant
Kettle are to come up soon for exam
ination. Lieutenant-Colonel Allan E
Smith, chief medical inspector for this
division, and Major M. B. Marcellus are
to be the examining board for tha doc

Major Marcellus. Captain Fred W.
