THE SUNDAY OREGON! AN, PORTLAND, AUGUST 12,- 1906. Y SCENES AT AMERICAN LAKE Great City of Tents Shelters an Army of 8000 Men Under Arms. PREPARE FOR MANEUVERS General Funston. Outlines Military Operations, Which Commence To. morrow Oregon Boys Get Into Camp In Itecord Time. AMERICAN LAKE GENERAL. HEAD QUARTERS, Camp Murray, Wash., Aug, 11. (Staff correspondence.) An army of BOuO men la under canvas in the wooded country about American Lake today. Many yellow tent topg dot the open glade of the woods for miles about, con verting the whole district into one great expanse of alternating yellow and green, Sharp bugle calls break the busy hum of the camp at frequent Intervals, mounted, orderlies are dashing here and there with orders from commanding bfficers, and a hundred mess fires are cooking rations tor 8000 hungry men. Uncle Sam has taken the field In earnest &nd for many days to come his well flrilled troops will carry on a war with blank ammunition, a war that will pre pare the soldier boys for grim action In the field should the occasion arise. Troops have been pouring Jn all day from every direction. National Guard organizations from Oregon, Washington nd Montana, aggregating more than 2500 men; got in by train. The Idaho Infantry alone is behindhand, and will not get tu Until tomorrow. The entire fighting force assigned to the American Lake maneuvers will then be in the field, ready for action. Adjust Themselves to Camp. Just now the new arrivals are busy adjusting themselves to their strange surroundings in Camp Tacoma, as the encampment has been designated. The regular army men, 5000 strong, have been in camp some time and are al ready comfortably settled. The Ore gon infantry organizations, com manded by Colonel C. U. Gantenbein and Major Toran, came in late this afternoon In three sections and are as fine a lot of men as any under can vas here. The Oregon boys made a record for themselves as soon as they arrived by the business-like manner in which they organized and established their camp. The cars in which they arrived from Portland had barely come to a standstill before the men had formed In column of companies and were marching for their camp site, half a mile away. When they reached that destination tents were rushed up and in an hour a white city had arisen on the grassy clearing assigned them. . At 6:30 o'clock mess call sounded and rations were served the hungry men. The thorough-going manner and promptness with which the Oregon camp was established brought much praise from regulars in the field. Few Make Such Records. Not every National Guard organiza tion has been able to accomplish the feat without some confusion and de lay. There were no accidents on the trip from Portland and the trains were not delayed to any great extent en route. The first section got in at 4 o'clock, the second at 5:30 and the third at 7 o'clock. Tomorrow will be another day of ad justment to camp life. , Then, on Monday morning, sham hostilities will begin. During the next week the boys will con duct themselves precisely as If they were In a hostile countjry, facing an opposing army worthy of their steel, -mere win be attacks and repulses, forced marches, skirmishes, pitched battles, scouting, night alarms and all the maneuvering of hostile forces in the field. It will all be in earnest, too, for there Is not a command In the field that Is not anxious to distinguish itself for meri torious work In gaining advantage over pome opposing force. Instead of deadly bullets to decide the issues, as in war, there is a staff of military umpires qualified to pronounce whole commands theoretically dead. And the way these umpires can rule troops out of action for incautious exposure to the enemy's fire puts real bullets to shame. They can kill off a regiment In less time than an ex ecution squad can kill off a lone spy, tied and blindfolded. Camp in Ideal Country. The American Lake district is Ideal for the purpose- to which it Is now being put.' There Is an expanse of territory U miles long by 4 wide on which hardly a human habitation has been erected. This area Is about evenly divided between open spaces and heavy timber. While neither mountainous nor hilly., the surface is undulating, broad swales and shallow gullies being everywhere. It is the kind of country In which officers and men must exert every energy to prevent am buscades or keep out of traps laid by opposing forces. Officers and men alike get the fullest benefit from campaigning In such a field, and it will equip them to cope with an enemy in any kind of country, experts declare. Every modern equipment of a big army In the field is provided here, and every branch of the service is represented. Tele graph and telephone wires, fully equipped hospitals, water and sanitary systems, ' supply, sleeping and mess tents, are all Installed with military precision of ar rangement. And yet the entire force of WOO men could be thrown 10 miles in any direction with all Its equlppage in a very few hours. In fact. General Funston, the command ing officer, could have every man in the field and ready for action in half an hour, so thoroughly Is the camp organized. Two Big Camps Made. Not only are there twice as many sol diers as participated in the encampment two years ago, but the camp arrange ments are entirely different. The entire force is divided into two big camps, one near Murray Station and the other at Nisqually, four miles to the south and west. The general headquarters are lo cated a mile and a half north of Murray Station and a mile north of the Oregon camp, which is only half a mile out of Murray In a choice location. , Strictest discipline Is being enforced at all points. National Guard troops will be under the same discipline as the regular troops, and any Infraction of the camp rules or disobedience of orders will gain the erring ones an introduction to one of the guard tents, of which there is a good ly supply. The various commands Intend, however, that these tents will not be needed except for use by guard details. The National Guard organizations will DC Jiciu u'.: i " -' --J " wilt ing the active part of the mimic warfare. Each one of these days will be a long one, however. First call for reveille sounds at 5:30 o'clock in the morning, and taps do not come until 10 o'clock. The day's work in camp begins with fatigue call at 6:10; drill-call comes at 7:45, and at this hour maneuvering as rell as drill will commence. Guards will be mounted at 4:30 o'clock in the after noon. Many Seasoned Veterons. Many of Uncle Sam's best fighting men are here troops that have records for work in actual service. There are hun dreds of officers and men on hand who were engaged in the Cuban and Philippine iBland campaigns. The complete list of commands participating in the maneuvers Is as follows: First Battalion, United States Engi neers; United States Cavalry; First Bat talion, United States Artillery; Third Regiment and separate battalion, Oregon Infantry; Troop A, Washington National Guard; Montana National Guard; Com pany B, United States Hospital Corps; Fourteenth United States Infantry; Com pany H, United States Signal Corps; Washington Signal Corps; Twenty-second United States Infantry: Eleventh Battal ion, United States Artillery; Fourteenth United States Cavalry; Twentieth United States Infantry; Second Washington In fantry; Hospital Corps from Oregon, Washington, Montana and Idaho; Idaho National Guard; Seventh United States Infantry. The Officers In Command. The officers of the regular army who control the destinies of - the camp are: Brigadier-General Frederick Funston commanding; Captain William G. Haan, Chief of Staff; First Lieutenant Edwin C. Long, military secretary; Colonel John L. Clem, Chief Quartermaster; Captain John J. Bradley, assistant to Chief Quar termaster; First Lieutenant Arthur M. Ferguson, assistant to Chief Quartermas ter; Lieutenant-Colonel George B. Davis, General Chief Commissary; Captain Wil liam Elliott, assistant to Chief Commis sary; Lieutenant-Colonel William H. Cor- busler. Chief Surgeon: Captain Pierre C. Stevens, Chief Paymaster; Captain Ed ward P. Orton, Paymaster; Captain Mer iwether L. Walker, Chief Engineer Offi cer; Captain Kenneth Morton, Chief Ord nance Officer; Captain Leonard D. Wild man. Chief Signal Officer. The week's maneuvering, commencing on Monday morning, was outlined today by General Funston at his headquarters. On Monday all Infantry and cavalry will engage In regimental exercises. Including advance guard work and the establish ment of outposts. The work of artillery and engineer corps will be left to the dis cretion of battalion commanders. Fighting Begins Tuesday. On Tuesday fighting will begin In earn est. The 8000 troops will be divided into two provisional brigades. The first bri gade will take a position west of Amer ican Lake and the second brigade will be thrown into the field a mile or more to the east. Both brigades will be com pelled to make a march of 12 miles, oper ating as In a hostile country and alert for surprises from the enemy. Brigade commanders will seek to out-maneuver one another. At noon firing will cease, outposts will be established and wire connections strung to brigade headquarters. The bri gades will retreat to their respective camps. Wednesday preparations will be made for big field operations to take place on the two succeeding days. The balance of the day will be given up to drilling and routine matters. Bright and early Thursday morning the whole camp will be aroused and divided Into two opposing forces. The first bri gade will wear blue blouses and the sec ond brown or khaki blouses. The bri gades will be known as the "Blues" and the "Browns." The opposing forces will march Into the field and bivouac for the night. The exact location of the oppos ing forces is to be determined later, but a distance of five or six miles will inter-. vene. Outposts will be established to prevent a night attack. Battle Next Friday. Friday morning the two armies will get together. The general situation pre sented is this: A large force of Browns is defending the City of Tacoma as a base, and has constructed mere or less elaborate entrenchments south of that place, with outposts near American Lake. A large blue force has been occupying Olympia, making preparations for an of fensive move on the brown base at Ta coma. The armies will advance as if in the near presence of the enemy. Small detachments will not be sent from the main body of troops except for observation purposes, and will try to se cure any desired information without opening fire upon opposing skirmishers encountered, as thereby a general,alarm might be precipitated. Coming together, the armies will fight it out for supremacy, and the action will continue until the military umpires con clude that the movement has been com pleted and one side or the other routed. This event will be one of the most inter esting and most spectacular of the entire encampment. it Saturday will be given up to a discus sion of the problems presented by the week's maneuvering. ALBANY COMPANY IS SHORT Only 40 Enthusiastic Guardsmen Going to American Lake. ALBANY, Or.. Aug. 11. (Special.) Company G, Oregon National Guard, Al bany's contribution to the citizen sol diery, departed on the morning local train at 7:30 o'clock for Portland aftd American Lake, near Tacoma, Wash. Company G this year sends but 40 men to the annual encampment, a number of members being detained on account of the extremely busy season. First Lieutenant O. B. Stalnaker is in charge of the khaki clad aggregation, he having filled the position of Captain since the resignation of Captain Wallace several months since. J' : W ... & - t ::;;i:&: Second Lieutenant Q. E. Propst will be first assistant to Lieutenant Stalnaker. The boys were up early this morning, and long before citizens generally were out the mellow music of the bugle was heard calling attention to the annual out ing of the youthful soldiers. The Amer ican Lake encampment, while it , is fraught with many more hardships and exertions than the former assemblies of the National Guard, before the days when the regulars were joined with the militia of the Northwest States, is looked for ward to witn pleasure by members of the local militia. It brings the boys In close touch with the life of Uncle Sam s sol diers, and they get experiences they could have in no other way. z It is a fact that one of the things that keeps a full company of the Oregon National Guard in most of the Oregon towns where a company is maintained Is the annual encampment. WILL SURVEY STATE ROAD County to Start Work Between Lyle and Washougal. VANCOUVER, Wash., Aug. 11. (Spe cial.) County Surveyor Bailey expects to start the survey in a few days on the state road which will be hunt from Lyle to Washougal. The counties through which this road extends are required under the law to pay one-third of the cost, while the rest is borne by the state. Mr. Bailey says that Clarke county's share will be approximately $.o00. The entire length of the road will be about 90 miles. It will add another resource to Clarke co'unty, as it will tend to develop the country above Washougal. Vancouver Company Starts. VANCOUVER, Wash., Aug. .(Spe cial.) company G, JN u. vv ., or van couver, started for Camp Tacoma. , at American Lake today. The company is commanded by Captain Burton E. Bowen and goes from here to the camp by rail. The boys have been drilling hard to make a good showing at the camp, and are all equipped with new uniforms. PARTY AT KLAMATH FALLS PORTLAND BUSINESS MEN ENJOY THEIR TRIP IMMENSELY. Excursionists Enthusiastic Over Itecep. lion Given Them in Metropolis; of Southeastern Oregon. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Aug. 11. (Special.) Forty-four excursionists are guests in Klamath Falls tonight, and after a journey from Portland replete with more variety tharf any other trip that has been taken by business men of the metropolis to the tributary trade territory, are enthusiastic over the cordial reception accorded them, and the magnificent country embraced within the great Klamath basin. No untoward incident has marred the pleasure of the outing and tonight the representatives of the wholesale houses,, commercial, professional and Indus trial institutions and leading citizens of Portland, are meeting the merchants and citizens of Klamath Falls at home. The spirit of united Oregon is manifest everywhere, and the visit is certain to prove of mutual benefit to the Klamath region and remainder of the state. From Pokegama to Keno, a ride through the splendid forest of sugar and yellow pine, wag thoroughly en Joyed on five big stages of the Oregon Stage Company. E. E. Travis, of Port land, guided the six-in-hand of the coach that conveyed President F. W. Leadbetter, of the Commercial Club; Manager Tom Richardson and H. L. Pittock, and General Passenger Agent McMurray, and Assistant General Pas senger Agent Scott, of the Harriman line, and six others of the party. At Keno, the steamer Klamath was In waiting and a committee of 25 members of the Klamath Chamber of Commerce welcomed the guests. Re freshments were served on the boa-t and the strangers were made to feel perfectly at home. During the trip of 24 miles, landing at the docks at Lake Ewauna at 7 o'clock, C. C. Chapman did a stunt not down on the Itinerary, and displayed his ability as the sprinter by walking 15 miles of the last portion of the journey. He was persuaded by the com mittee to firrtsh the trip on the steamer and was theeader in familiarizing the Klamath people with the United Oregon slogan. Business men who have been study ing the -matter . of securing the trade of this section from their offices, are now investigating the question of freight tariffs, local conditions and the requirements of this portion of Oregon, frelm the other end or the line and in cidentally cultivating personal ac quaintano that will prove a strong balance in future. Most timely is the visit at this Junc ture in the history of Klamath's trade development, for in a short time the traffic will be diverted In some degree to the new California-Northeastern Railroad and Portland's advantage of mileage will be somewhat changed, until such time as the Oregon Eastern line from Natron is completed. Tomorrow the visitors will join an excursion to Odessa and Pelican Bay, spending tho greater part of the day on the steamboat Winena on Upper Klamath Lake. After making the trip to Merrill, on Monday, a half dozen of the party will go to Crater Lake be fore returning to Portland. This side trip was not on the programme, but the great natural wonder is too great an attraction to neglect when such fa- ' ' 'S' t-. ill - ( 0 THTRD REGIMENT.

COR. 3D AND MORRISON STREETS RESIST SEWER TAX Hood River Property-Owners Allow Town to Foreclose. SOLD OUT UNDER HAMMER Finest Business Blocks Go for a Song in Pursuance of Scheme to Beat Assessment Officials Claim Legality Unquestionable. HOOD RIVER, Aug. 11. A business block said to be worth $15,000 and from which the rental Is something over $1200 a -year, sold for $60 In Hood River today. This does mot mean that real estate is de preciating in value in Hood River, but that J. H. Mlddleton, its owner, who lives In Portland, has failed to pay the sewer assessment against the property, which had become delinquent The block, which is situated in the cen ter of town and is one of the largest here, is occupied by the department store of J. 8. Booth & Co. The assessment on, it amounted to $94, and the first bid was $35, which was increased to $60, $5 at a time, until it was finally sold. Many thousands of dollars' worth of other prop perty went at the sale for equally small sums. The object of the owners, who, like Mr. Middleton, are known to be fully able to pay the assessment, in allowing their properties to be sold for delinquent taxes is a mystery. There has, however, been some dissatisfaction in regard to the amounts assessed against bo me of the properties sold, and it ds thought that trreir owners may be contemplating a suit against the city to avoid payment, or have them reduced. It is said by members of the City Council that they have heard rumors to this effect, but that expert counsel was engaged to pass on the legality of the assessment before it was put in op eration, and that the delinquents, even though they fight the city, will have to pay In the end. Property-owners, they say, do not question the benefits of the sewer to the city, but think that their as sessments have been made too high, or that because they are not directly bene fited they should not be assessed at all. As there are established precedents for procedure In cases of this klnd,i Hood River's city fathers are not worrying over the outcome, but are seeking to cancel the city's obligations for the new sewer as soon as oossible. The sale was conducted by the City Marshal, and purchasers of property re ceived certificates of sale which will en title them to a deed in case the delin quents do not redeem it inside of two years.

LAKEVIEW, Or., Aug. ll.-(SpecIat.1 News has reached Lakevlew that a rich deposit of gold-bearing rock has been found In the Coyote range about 40 miles north of this place by Loftus Brothers. They have been prospecting in that re gion since last May and have been re warded by the discovery of a ledge from GO to 100 feet' wide of the richest gold bearing porphyrltlc quartz. The ledge extends, so far as known, for five miles and Is only a phort distance from the Nevada state line. The rock Is full of free gold, going from $40 to $800 a ton, and the formation is the same as Ne vada's great mining district Since the news reached here hundreds of people have flocked to the new strike. Every available rig has been taken and people are leaving in all directions dur ing all hours of the night and day. Lake view is deserted. Every person who can possibly leave the town has gone to the new gold fields. The nearest points from which to reach the new Eldorado are Klamath Falls and Lakeview.
