PROMOTE
D FOR DAY
Second in Command to Take
Up Senior's Duties.
FIELD DUTY WILL COME
Oregon Men at Cainp Lewis to-Get
Instruction in How to Act in
Protecting Bridges.
CAMP LEWIS, Wash., June 20.
(Special.) For 24 hours, beginning
with reveille today, the second in
command of every unitin the Ore
gon national guard encampment is
the commajiding officer, of his or
ganization, replacing his superior
for one day, by virtue' of an order
from euard headquarters. This ex
periment in administrative work is
for the purpose of giving practical
experience to those officers who
might be expected at any time to
assume command on the absence of
their immediate commanding officer.
Lletuenant-Colonel Eugene Mosh
'bergerof Woodburn succeeds Col
onel Creed C. Hammond of Portland
as commanding officer of the train
ing camp,. In every battalion, the
senior captain replaces the major in
command and in every company the
senior first lieutenant succeeds the
captain.
Detailed instruction in guard duty
and rifle firing is an important part
of the training or Oregon citizen
soldiers, proficiency among these
lines bing held of prime necessity
to national guardsmen by Colonel
Hammond.
Duties Are Explained. .
"The first duty of the national
guard in time of trouble has been
to guard, important bridges, build
ings and roads," he commented to
day. "A guardsman should know
thoroughly just what duties are re
quired of guards and how far they
should go in carrying out their or
.dere. There is no object in arming
a soldier with a rifle if he cannot
shoot. Marksmanship, therefore, is
required.
"If a man can shoot fast and
straight and can handle the respon
sibilities of a guard with intelli
gence, he has a fundamental train
ing of great value and can be taught
close and extended order drill and
tactical maneuvers in a limited
. time."
Twelve posts have ' been estab
lished in the national guard area
and entire companies are daily as
signed to 24 hours' guard duty. Com
pany E, Captain Harry Hansen of
v Portland, commanding, and com
pany F, Captain Paul Hendrick of
Salem commanding, has been on
duty the past two days. There are
r ore men than are actually re
quired for the ptrvpose of guarding
the district but the many posts are
fixed chiefly for instruction pur
poses.
' HoNpital t'orpM U Drill.
To stimulate a battle .emergency,
the 1 6 1 1 h hospital company, com
manded by Major Joel C. Booth of
Lebanon, will furnish rations for
aDout -lav men o. tiie tirst battalion
16:!d infantry on the range Wednes
day noon. A rolling fcitfherr will be
taken and the meal prepared by the
hospital company as though the men
ot the battalion were wounded and
their care had devolved on Ihe hos
pital unit. Rqlling kitchens also
will be taken to the range bf the
second and third battalions of the
162d ana the first battalion of the
186th Wednesday for the noon meal
under field conditions. ,
Arrangements for the equipment
are being made by Major Joseph V.
Sehur, quartermaster department
and Captain R. .VI. Connors, infantry,
Adjutant-General White left Camp
Iewis at 7:30 this morning for an
inspection trip to Fort Worden
where coast artillery troops of the
Oregon guard have been in training
under commad of Major Charles E.
G-jedsted of Portland. Accompany
ing him were Colonel Clarence E,
Dentler. of Portland, Major William
G. White of Salem, Major Roy R.
Knox '6f Portland, Captain Harry C,
Brumbaugh of Salem, Captain Jer
rold Owen of Portland and Captain
E. E Straw of Marshfleld.
BIG GUNS WELL HANDLED
Excellent Results Are Achieved in
Target Practice.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash June
20. (Special.) In the blue reaches
of the Strait of San Juan de Fuca
a small tug steams bravely along,
Five hundred yards in its wake is a
small craft surmounted by a flag
pole. "What is the range?" Is the query
of the coast defense commanderto
the battery commander. ,
"Twenty-five hundred yards," is
the reply.
"Commence firing."
A big gun raises its snout to the
heavens a-nd speaks in a small, weak
voice. A one-pound shell speeds to
its mark, falling 15 yards short.
It is sub-caliber practice on the
coast defense guns of Fort Worflen,
where coast artillery .men of the
Oregon national guard are in sum
mer training. In the bore of the
great rifles is a gun firing 2.95
caJiber shells and the gun is aimed
with the mechanism of the parent
.piece. Skill in handling the big
guns is attained at a minimum of
expense for shells by this method.
This was the firsr day of artillery
drill with the sub-caliber guns and
excellent results were attained, con
. sidering the inexperience of crews,
reported Major Charles E. Gjedsted
of Salem, commanding officer. The
practice was under the eyes of Ad
. jutant-General White, who arrived
this afternoon from Camp Lewis.
The big guns will be fired with serv
ice ammunition next week, by which
time the gunners will have attained
sufficient skill to prevent undue
waste of expensive ammunition.
The Albany company has been as
signed to the 12-inch battery, the
Ashland and Marshfield units to the
10-inch guns and the Newport-Toledo
company to the six-inch rapid,
fire disappearing battery. Three
hundred Oregon guardsmen are in
training hre under the immediate
command of Major Gjedsted, with
Major James S. Dusenbury of Salem,
regular army coast artillery man.
acting as senior instructor.'
"Not only are the men doing ex
cellent work but they are showing a
splendid spirit and a keen interest in
the instruction," was the comment
today of Colonel Henry Merriam,
commander of the coast defenses at
Fort Worden, "Oregon can be proud
of them." .
Major Dusenbury reports that
there has not been a case in camp
requiring disciplinary action and
that the conduct of the citfzen sol
diers has been commendable
throughout. They are living under
canvas entirely oft the grounds of
one of the most attractive, forts on
the coast.
The days have been delightful,
though the nights have proved
rather chilly. Three blankets were
issued to each man on-arrival In
camp and 250 extra had to be ob
tained for those who still felt- the
cold at night. Sibley stoves have
been lighted in many of the tents.
The guard companies brought their
own cooks and mess sergeants to
FortWorden and are standing en
tirely on their own merits. Keen
rivalry exists between the various
outfits, not only in target work, but
in sanitary arrangements, a daily
check being kept on the condition
of quarters, mess tent, kitchens and
company streets, by Captain George
E. Riggs of Albany, camp curgeon.
w-nat snouid prove interesting as
well as the practical drill of the
training schedule will be the bat
tery night work next Thursday,
when searchlights will be manned
and vessels tracked through the
harbor, as 90 per cent of all coast
defense firing in war time probably
would be at night. - This training
will be particularly valuable, and
care must be exercised not to turn
the lights on merchant or commer
cial vessels. Strenuous protest has
been made against the glare when
this has occurred. It might also
prove disconcerting to rum-runners.
A competitive field drilr between
the guard companies and regulars
stationed at the post will be held
near the close' of camp, June 28.
Lieutenant George C. Hugging of
Marshfleld is in charge of guard
arrangements.

ASTORIA, Or., June 20. (Special.)
The 48-hour period, which a posse
of Warrnton citizens had given the
proprietors of the Whistle inn to
closethe Dlace and leave the county,
expired at 12 o'clock last night. A
posse of 40 men, headed by Frank
Warren, mayor, and City Marshal
Thurston, was on hand at the ap
pointed time. Some of the men were
armed with rifles, according to
Sheriff Nelson, who with several
deputies had gone to the inn in re
sponse to calls for protection from
the proprietors of the place, who ex
pressed fear of mob violence.
Neither Sheriff Nelson, nor . his I
deputies interfered with the War
rentonians and when Marshal Thurs
ton produced a search warrant he
was allowed to enter the inn, the
sheriff informing him that he was
entitled to take any number of his
deputies inside the place that he de
sired, despite the order given by one
of the proprietors for all to stay
outside .except Marshal Thurston,
who had the search warrant.
Liquor Search Fails. -
When the marshal went into the
'building he was accompanied by
four or five of his fellow citizens.
They inspected the place but found
no liquor.
While at Whistle inn. Mayor War
ren told ttie proprietors of te place
it was his intention to station a
deputy marshal at the road house to
take the name - of every person
patronizing the Inn and to keep
such an officer on duty until the
road house is finally closed, while
Marshal Thurston was reported to
have given the management of the
place -warning that he intends- to
make daily inspections of the place
until it is closed "for keeps."
At the next meeting of the War
rentori city council, that body is ex
pected to pass a stringent ordinance
aimed at future regulation and li
censing of such places as Whistle
inn and Flavel tavern with a clause
in the ordinance authorising the city
council to grant or refuse any li
cense asked by parties seeking to
conduct such places within the cor
porate limits of the city, of War-
'renton. ; ..
Sheriff to Enforce Law.
Sheriff Nelson stated this morning
that w hile hei does 'not in "any way
approve of such resorts as Whistle
inn. and will co-operate with any
individual citizen or group of citi
zens in collecting evidence that may
be used in closing resorts of that
kind, yet, he knows-the law entitles
all persons to certain rights. For
that reason, he said, he and his dep-
utis were on hand at Whistle inn
last night to protect the place and
its proprietors against possible
thoughtless viofence at the hands
of the crowd of Warrenton and As
toria citizens composing the vigil
antes party visiting the place with
the preannouneed object of cleaning
it out.
After remaining at the resort an
hour or more, the members of the
posse left in automobiles for their
homes witnout a shot having been
fired or any violence attempted.
The next step toward possible
closing of the road houses will rest
in the trials of Sam Stotter and
Frank Holland. proprietors of
Whistle inn, and Philip Price, an
employe, who were arrested a few
days ago charged with selling in
toxicating liquor and later released
upon furnishing bonds of $500 each.
' These trials are set for Thursday
in the justice court.
