scores, officers pointing cut that bad
habits in handling a rifle are difficult
to break If not corrected early.

firing and ball cartridges used are
checked after shooting so that men

Camp Lewis, called on Brigadier
General R. M. Blatchford, commander
of Camp Lewis, to express his ap
preciation of the manner in whici
the guardsmen .have been provided
for since their arrival at camp Tues
day. The Oregon guardsmen, including
infantrymen, artillerymen and engi
neers, have a strenuous training
schedule for the two weeks they will
remain at camp. Besides training
with the troops, the officers are
studying for the examinations for
federal recognition, which will be
given during their stay at Camp
Lewis. All officers in the guard who
have completed one year of service
ar eligible for the examinations.
The 39th infantry is going through
a course of instruction in rifle prac

One of the remarkable things no

feeling existing between the regulars
and the guardsmen. In previous
years there was considerable irrita

is pitching horseshoes, and games
can be seen in progress near almost

Wheat Prospects Bright.
PENDLETON. Or., June 20. (Spe
cial ) Not since 1907 have the wheat
crop prospects in Umatilla, Gilliam,
Sherman, Wasco and Morrow coun
ties been so favorable as at the pres
ent time, in the opinion of H. W. Col
lins, of the Collins grain office here,
who says that with three weeks of
favorable weather a bumper crop
may be expected. About 3 per cent
of last year's county yield remains
unsold, he estimates, and it is prob
able that the growers will hold this
amount over. Mr. Collins predicts
that harvest in Umatilla county will
begin between July 10 and 15, which
is about a week earlier than usual.
Sleeping Sickness Fatal.
WILLAMINA, Or., June 20. (Spe

proved to be sleeping sickness and
baffled half a dozen doctors who at
tended him. Specialists from Port

SEATTLE, Wash., June 20. (Spe
cial.) Retail prices in Seattle stores
are 15 to 30 per cent less than a year
ago, asserts a statement issued here
by Harold H. Moore, secretary of the
retail trade bureau of the Seattle
chamber of commerce. This bureau
has been making an investigation in
recent weeks of comparative costs of
today and a year ago on more than
100 articles of common use. These
articles were selected at random and
an Investigation' of prices was made
at various stores. Prices given are
the regular ruling prices and sale or
special prices have not been taken.
In announcing the result of the In
vestigation Mr. Moore said: "Atten
tion is called to the fact that the
process of reduction was first started
by the retail trade, with the 20 per
cent off sales held a year ago this
May."
The retail trade bureau asserts
that the public has been misled in
many instances as to the extent of
wholesale price reductions. Many of
these greatly heralded reductions
have been like those recently an
nounced by a large cotton house. This
firm announced a reduction, in which
t quoted its price of a year ago as
that from which the reduction was
being made,, while the low price was
not for present deliveries, but for
orders on deliveries six months from
date."
School Directors Elected.
WOODBURN, Or., June 20. (Spe
cial.) Thomas Sims was re-elected
director for three years at the annual
school meeting here today. A. E.
Austin was elected director for one
year to fill out unexpired term of P.
Overton, resigned. E. F. Stanard was
re-elected clerk.
