All day yesterday detachments of
rated men were moving through
Portland, en route to the mobiliza
tion, and training camp at American
Lake.
It was not until evening-, however,
that any large body of drafted men
arrived at one time. Then the spe
cials from California and other points
outside of Oregon began passing
through the city. t
One big special of nine cars came
.in over the Southern Pacific at 8:45
o'clock. Its stop here was brief. About
J0O men were on this train.
At the Union repot the Portland
branch of the Red Cross canteen was
ready for them with paper boxes
crammed with good things to-eat. The
contents of the boxes were not in
tended to take the place of the regular
rations provided for the men by the
Army authorities, but consisted of deli
cacies that don't appear in the rations.
10,000 Pies Provided.
The piece de resistance in each box
was a tempting and appetizing small
apple pie. Special arrangements had
been made by the Red Cross canteen
with Portland pie bakers whereby 10,
000 of these little individual pies will
be baked between now and Tuesday,
when the rearguard of the draft con
tingents is expected to reach the city.
Packed in about the pie in each, box
were a cupcake, a couple of big cookies
of the kind grandmother used to make,
a piece of Tillamook cheese, one Oregon
peach, a handful of candy 'chews" and
a package of cigarettes.
Th Hed Crojs folks had prepared
thf-.se boxes with a view to showing
the drafted mn in a. practical way
that somebody is thinking of them and
appreciates the service they are giv
ing to their country. Portland girls
worktd all day yesterday filling the
boxes with the tempting morals, at
t ho temporary headquarters of the
c a nteen in the former quarters of the
Canadian Bank of Commerce, Second
and Stark streets.
Din In ir Car t hief in Charpp.
J. JJ. Farrell. president of the O.-W.
71. A; N. Company, sent the pioneer
O.-W. R. & N. dininjr car man, W. W.
Watson, whs always hns Charge of the
.-W's famous Chri."tinas dinners, to
the canteen to t ike rharge of the food
a rrangementi. M r. Watson is relieved
from all other duty o he may devote
his entire time to this work.
Fred Strong, chairman of the foI
diers reception committee of the Red
Cross canteen, was in charge of the
distribution of the boxes at the Union
lepot. lie wa3 there early in the
evening with a corps of volunteer as
sistants from the banks, waiting to re
ceive several hundred drafted men
from Idano and Kastern Washington
points due to arrive on an 11-car spe
cial at T o'clock.
This train, however, was diverted di
rect over the Interstate bridge to
American Lake at I he Peninsula Junc
tion, and did not come through Port
land at ail. The tame course was tak
en with other O.-W. special troop
t rains due later in the evening and
early this morning, as the diversion,
caved a good hour's time.
300 .Men Happily Surprised.
These trains all had dining cars in
which the soldiers had thir meais.
S the arrival of the Southern Pa
cific special troop train from California
at 8:45 gave the Red Cross canteen its
fir.t opportunity to distribute its lunch
boxes as a surprise supplement to the
regular rations supplied the drafted
men. About 300 of the boxes were giv
en out then.
Th next Southern Pacific troop spe
cial did not arrive until well after mid
Tiight. It was derided that as only a
few minutes stop was to be made, and
s most of the mon were in their berths,
not to wake them to distribute the
lunch boxs.
The main rrest of the troop move
ment will reach Portland today. Sev
eral heavy trains are scheduled to ar
rive over the Southern Pacific. Those
arriving near meal times will be
stopped lon enough to let the men go
to the Mu!tnomh Motel, where ar
rangements have been made by the
Government to servo them M-ith meals.
at Specials One Sunday.
Saturday and Sunday also will see
Jarge numbers of drafted men passing
through the city en route to American
3ake. After Sunday there probably
will be no more Fpecial trains. De
tachments on t heir way to American
Lake after that time will pass through
on the regular trains.
Virtually the whole of Oregon's
rhare of this draft contingent, 287 men,
lias either reported already at Ameri
can Lake or is on Its way. The largest
number of men taken from any Oregon
county is only 24. so no special trains
were necessary for them.

Of the nine drafted men from JefTer-

last night en route to American UKf,

It had been reported that Mr. Stumpe

RUMOR THIRD OREGON WILL
STOP AT STATE FAIR CREATES JOY
Story Is That Governor Withycombe Has Asked War Department for This
Last Favor to Departing Soldiers.
BY WILL. G. MAC RAE.
ITH the Third (Beaver) Regl-
t Oregon Infantry. Sept. 20.
(Special.) No stop orders yet!
Which means unless the stop order
does come the Third Oregon will be
winging its way to North Carolina Sep
tember 24. Monday next.
It is funny what a pleasing effect a
slight rumor will have on a lot of sol
diers. This morning, from where mo
one knows, came the rumoft that Gov
ernor Wlthycombe has petitioned the
War Department for permission ti
have the Third Oregon detrain for sev
eral hours at Salem and take part In
the opening of the great Oregon State
Fair. It is understood, not officially,
that Governor Wlthycombe and the
fair officials, if . they can obtain the
consent of the War Department, pur
pose to make the coming of the Third
Oregon an event that will never be
forgotten. Aside, from the athletic
programme which is being arranged,
there will be motorcycle races. and:
hush even riding stunts in which the
"Mounted Scouts" may participate.
Even Captain Hockenyos and Lieuten
ant Spaulding. of the supply company,
are thinking of unloading the train
load of muies and entering thtm. not
only in a fancy stock exhibit, but In
the hauling, bucking and kicking con
test, in fact in all events which will
call for a pyrotechnic display of mute
temperament.
It Is understood Governor Withy
combe's main reason for wishing to
have the troop train stop at the iitate
Fair Is because it will afford the farmer
parents a cnance to say farewell ta
thei
boys at Salem and ai the same
time visit the fair without tile extra
cost of making a trip to Clackamas.
It will also afford a happy scntioS for
the soldiers.
Work of loading the equipment will
be finished Sunday evening and the
regiment, by an early start, would be
able, if permission is granted by the
War Department, to upend four or five
hours at Salem. It would also furnish
a chance for Portland parents and
friends to enjoy an added prolongation
of their farewelling.

Major M. B. Marcelius, regimental
surgeon, today received permission to
increase his regimental medical corps
to the full quota. This will give a
chance of recruiting 16 more men to
the enlisted personnel. Colonel May

leaves for American' Lake' early' Fri
day morning. .T
"Are you ready, to go?" asked the
Sheriff. j
"Ready! Why, man, I'm tickled to
death for the chance," he replied.
"When I jump into the game today,"
said Hindle. "it means that the last of
half a dozen brothers and sisters is
now working in the cause of the allies."
Mr. Hindle came to this country a
few years ago and has been living
with his uncle. George Armstrong, a
well-known Clackamas County farmer.

the British armies.
His brother George is an expert
machine gunner with the- British
troops: Fred, another brother, is a
member of the Royal Flying Squad
ron, while the youngest lad of the
family is engaged in clerical work
with the Canadian troops. Two sisters,
Alice and Nellie one married are ex
pert government telegraphers in con
stant service. The father is It. S. Hin
dle. a special military constable in
London, at 127 .Windsor road.
Mr. Hindle is a naturalized citizen.
He was clearly the proudest of all
the 21 who reported to the local board
today.
"Believe rne. I'm glad to get Into It.
Ona brother fighting for Canada, two
for Knsland, two sisters doing their
"bit." dad helping along a little, and
three cousins fighting with the Aus
tralians, an' me with . the Stars and
Stripes can you beat it?"
n . Kzemptloa Asked.
Mr. Hindle is ?0 years of age and
unmarried. He is a popular young
farmer of the Redlands district, but
has sought no exemption.
Every member of Clackamas Coun
ty's second quota, consisting of 21
men and four slternates. appeared be
fore Sheriff Wilson promptly at 2
o'clock. Following the splendid show
ing of the "regulars" the alternates
were dismissed for the present.
The boys were checked up by Shir
iff Wilson and" County Clerk Har
rington and were then dismissed to
reassemble at 6:13 tomorrow morning.
The boys leave on the Southern Pacific
at 7:06 Friday morning en route for
American Lake. Garlnnd Hollowell, of

allowed to remain at home. A big re
ception was held in the Commercial
Club parlors under the auspices of the
local Commercial Club tonight in
honor of the boys.
The local board was highly elated
has urged Major Marcelius to exceed
the speed limit and if possible enlist
the 15 men before the Third goes away
early next:week. Major Marcelius has
been hoping ever since the regiment
was called out that he would receive
orders to recruit his regimental medi
cal corps up to full strength. He has
a long waiting list, but a few grew
restless and enlisted in other hospital
units. As it is, however. Major Mar
celius does not believe he will experi
ence much trouble in securing the 15.
As quickly as possible, those whose
names are on the waiting: list are being
notified to appear at Clackamas for ex
amination. What is needed in this
branch of the service is experienced
men, or men whose appearance Indi
cates they will make good as hospital
corps men.
Not all of the Third Oregon will en
train Monday for North Carolina. There
wiil be left behind, just to throw a chill
into the trouble makers, about 20 offi
cers and between 800 and 900 men.
...
This is "dream" week for several of
ficers. Dream week with several car
loads of nightmares thrown in. Here
is the way one officer "dreams" out a
schedule: Leave Oregon September 24;
October 4 arrive at Camp Greene; De
cember 15. sail for France: arrive
"somewhere" in France December 24:
the next day. December 25. would be
Cnristmas. so to have a nicely rounded
out dream and Christmas, each man in
'.he Third Oregon is to receive from
the French government a bottle of
champagne.
One other dreamer dreamed that he
had work for months and months up in
the wilds of Eastern Oregon, capturing
all the rattlesnakes in the country.
These he teased and tormented until
they were "plumb" deadly.
He then obtained consent from the
War Department and shipped the lot
into France. At night, instead of build
ing wire entanglements and digging in,
his trained deadly snake makers would
slip quietly up to a German trench and
let go a bag of Oregon rattlers. Noth
ing to it! They cleared the trenches.
...
I will take- a solemn oath to this:
These dreams are truthfully recorded
as they were told over breakfast mess,
yet not a drop of liquor is to be had
in camp and not a cook (here's a
chance for my being murdered) in the
Third Oregon can moke a Welsh rare
bit. A Colonel dreamed out the sched
ule and a Major dreamed the rattle
snake dream.
at the promptness with which the boys
reported and at the fine spirit of pa
triotism shown by the entire quota.

PROPOSED
University of Oregon Red Cross Hos
pital Unit Urged to Drill.
Members of the University of Oregon
Red Cross hospital unit held their
regular Thursday night drill and busl
ne: meeting on Multnomah Field last
night and it was unanimously de
cided to raise a mess fund by public
subscription. While this unit has not
yet been mustered into the Federal
service, the call is expected at any
time and the boys are desirous of rais
ing their fund before the call Is
issued.
The plan as outlined last night, is to
issue a uniform receipt for every sub
scription received and this will be in
the form of a souvenir for the donor
to remember the I oys after they go
abroad. There are 2o9 enlisted in the
unit which is comprised of enlisted
men, doctors and nurses. An effort
will be made by each member to raise
at least $5 for the mess fund. The
subscription work will start in a few
days and the unit will make a special
effort to bring the campaign to an
early close.
P. W. Cookingham. drill master of
the unit, has issued an urgent call for
all men in the unit to appear for drill
each Thursday night hereafter. It is
not compulsory for the ' men to drill,
but the training received here assures
them of a better chance to become non
commissioned officers when the unit
is mustered into Federal service. Of
the SO Portland members in the unit.

SOLDIERS III DANGER
Attempt Made to Wreck Train
En Route to Camp Lewis.
ROCKS WEDGED IN TRACK
Order Approved for Construction
of Great Amusement Park Villi
All Forms of Clean Pleasures
for Men at Cantonment.
TACOMA, Wash.. Sept. 20. (Special.)
What is believed by authorities to
have been a deliberate attempt to
wreck a troop train waa revealed yes
terday by the finding of nearly a dozen
large stones hammered in between the
Northern Pacific tracks and plank
crossing at Meeker Junction near
Puyallup.
"The rocks were put In between the
tracks and the crossing plank for only
one reason. I believe, and that waa to
wreck the soldier train that passed
through here for Camp Lewis at &
o'clock," said Marshal Olson.
"It was not the work of children.
No child could have placed the rocks
so securely. Chips of the rocks were
found around the tracks, which gives
every evidence of a deliberate attempt
to wreck the next train due.
The discovery was made at 2 o'clock,
three hours before the next Tacoma
bound train was due. This was a troop
train of several coaches, carrying sol
diers to Camp Lewis.
United States Marshal Boyle's office
at Tacoma was informed and will
conduct an Investigation, together with
special agents of the Northern Pacific.
The question of providing amuse
ments for the men of the National
Army to be trained at Camp Lewis
assumed definite shape today after
weeks of waiting, when Major-General
H. A. Green, commanding, received a
telegram approving his recommenda
tion to the War Department that an
amusement park be authorized at the
Tacoma post, but off the cantonment
proper, the park to be placed in charge
of a responsible promoter and under
the supervision of Ray P. Carter, rep
resenting the training camp activities
commission.
The amusement park will be located
opposite the entrance of the canton
ment on the Pacific Highway, across
the tracks of the Northern Pacific and
northeast- of the Dupont School, ex
tending towards Tacoma as far as nec
essary. Concessionaires will construct
their own buildings, but David L. Stone,
constructing quartermaster, will lay
out the park and pass upon the type
of structures.
The idea which will now be worked
out will include every sort or clean
amusement from theaters with the best
hows on the Klaw & Erlanger circuit
to shooting galleries, bowling alleys.
pop stands and the like. The area to
be devoted to this amusement center
rovers more than 100 acres, and every
inch of the ground will be utilized in
making fun for the soldiers of the
great National Army.

DAIST POLK MEETS GENERAL
WHEN AUTO BREAKS.
Marriage of San Fraoclsco Belle and
French Officer Takes Place la
Yitrlmont Church.
PARIS, Sept. 20. The marriage of
Miss Daisy Polk, of San Krancisco, to
General Marie Joseph Louis Robert re
Buyer, of the French army, which took
place in the village of Vitrimont, near
Luneville, in Lorraine, yesterday, was
the- result of a romance begun nearly
year agro, when Miss Polk'a automo
bile broke down one day near Vitri
mont, where she had been in charge of
the reconstruction of the village. Gen
eral Ie Buyer happened to pass and
offered the services of his chauffeur to
repair the break, thus beginning the
acquaintance.
The marriage took place in the
church, which was the first building
restored in the village, thanks to Miss
Polk's work. It was followed by a
breakfast in the second building1 which
had been completed.
Miss Polk by her marriage becomes
Countess e Buyer-Mimeure, as Gen
eral De Buyer carries the title of Count
De Buyer-Mimeure. After leaving St.

Guard Your Home
From Disease
The invisible menace that threatens every home all
the time, is the disease germ.
1 Millions of deadly germs will, in a fews hours, breed
in a garbage can, an unwashed milk bottle, a clogged
kitchen sink, or anywhere small food particles or any
other matter subject to decomposition can collect.
Yet you can make a better fight against disease than
. it can make against you, if you will fight with Lysol;
it will make your home germ-proof.
Lysol is the ideal home disinfectant because it un
failingly and immediately kills germs, no matter what
their nature. Its frequent use is simple, easy, econom
ical and wise. '
Get some Lysol today. Don't use it full strength, for that Is
'wasteful. Mix it with water in a jug or large bottle (25 cent bottle
makes a two-gallon solution, a 50 cent bottle makes five gallons).
' Use a little of this solution every day in the garbage pail, the
'toilets, the kitchen sink, the stable, the ceespool, the outbuildings,
etc Always put soma in scrubbing water, for soap alone will not
nil malignant germs.
