LARGE BODY OF TROOPS the San Luis Obispo district in California at about tho same time. It ' has been reported tha"t the Oregon troops were to be reassigned to the California maneuvers but the report lacks confirmation. UoUvecn 6000 and 8000 Soldiers Will Take Part Attention to Be Paid to lteslsting Foreign l-'oe, llcpresented by the Navy. That several squadrons, of the American battleship fleet will lie in Puset Sound for several weeks the coming Summer and co operate with the Army in Coast defense maneuvers in the vicinity of American Iake, "Washington. was learned yesterday from an authoritative source. Just how many warships ill b- sent cannot be stated at this time .as the Xavy Depart ment has not worked out the plan, hav ing merely aurrrd to participate with the Army and National Guard. As has been announced previously by the War Department, a slate of war will lie presumed to exist during the joint maneuvers of August. Between 6000 and SeJO troops will be at American Lake. There will be several regiments of United States infantry, one regiment of field ar tillery, several snuadions if not a full regiment of cavalry and the state regi ments from Oregon. Washington. Idaho, Montana and possibly from Utah and Colorado. The mobilization of troops will be on a larger scale than ever before. The utility of the fleet will be to repre sent a foreign naval f.Me seeking to har ass the Coast country and land troops un der cover of artillery fire. Actual at tempts will be ma.ie to land hhiejackets and marines. While the detailed plan of the maneuvers will not be 'drawn for several weeks yet, the general idea of the movements have been indicated by the Wiir Dpartment. Substantially all the prolilems lo le -worked out will deal with Coast defense work. - Tho proximity of Puget Sound to the American Lake district makes that the logical point for Coast defense maneuvers. ' Jiarbor defense practice will be engaged In at Fort Stevens by tho regular garri son alone. , The three companies of Coast artillery to lie organized in Oregon will not be in readiness for service at the month, of tho Columbia River this Sum mer. . Heretofore the joint maneuver at American Lako have dealt with general field problems without any particular at tention being paid to problematical land- ing parties from hostile ships. The wish of the Government to specialize on the subject of coast work Is taker) to indicate an official recognition of the idea that coast defense experience may become in valuable before . great many years. The Third Oregon Infantry, commanded by Colonel C. B. MeDonell and tho Fourth Oregon, in command of Colonel George O. Yoran, will both participate in the Ameri can Iake maneuvers. Under an order Just issued, the Southern Oregon regiment has been reorganized from the separate company arrangement necessitated 'by an ' nrder issued by the War Department last Kail, requiring 12-compaiiy regiments. The "War Department order was annulled shortly after the first of the year by act of Congress, which extended the time for reorganization two years. During that period the Fourth Oregon Infantry will be recruited up to a 12-company basis and maintained permanently as a part of the state force. It Is likely that the Oregon battery of field , artillery will also be sent to the maneuvers. The battery, commanded by , Captain H. U. Welch, has a full comple ment of field rifles. of the latest pattern and is regarded as one of the very best light batteries in the United States. Field work for every day of the man euvers, is what the War Department has decided imon. according to a communiea- tldn received by Adjutant-General FinEer from the v ar Department. In the past there has been much complaint because of the relative unimportance of maneuvers and the great attention paid to drilling. Regimental, battalion and company com manders will play a more Important part and the brigade movements will be mini mized this year. The maneuvers will open August 10 and continue for 10 days, similar joint manuevers will be held in BIBLE CLASSES' RIVALRY Kacc for Xcw Members Run, With Banquet as Stake. Along with the evangelistic efforts which have been put forth during the Winter months, by a number of the pastors of Portland, there has beer, a marked increase in Bible study classes and In the attendance at those already organized. Adult Bible classes have been organized during the last few months at the Taylor-Street Methodist, Grace Methodist, Arleta Baptist, and First Christian Churches, and since Rev. Clarence True Wilson took charge of the Centenary Methodist Church- he says that the interest has steadily in creased. Perhaps the most notable increase In attendance has been in the Baraca and Philaphea classes organized with 11 members each In the Immanuel Baptist Church on November 3, two months ago. These are classes of young: men and women, respectively, banded together for systematic Bible study, for the en couragement of members away from home, and for the assistance of the poor. The first Baraca and Philathea classes were organized in 1890 in a Baptist Church at Albany, N. Y.. by a Mr.. Hudson. Since that time they have heen started In churches throughout the country. The" young men and young women of the Immanuel Baptist Church en tered into a two-months' contest as spon as the classeswere organized, with the agreement that at the end of that time ADOPT RIGID RULES Eugene Student Tells of Re cent Athletic Conference.

Grace Madeline Sprajcne, Wh. Succumbed to aa Attack of Pneumonia. Miss Grace Madeline Sprauuo, whose death occurred Monday evening after an attack of pneumonia, was one of the popu lar members of the June gradu ating class of the West Side High School. She was the daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Sprague, of 447 East Sherman street, and was born In this city June 9, 1889. .Miss Sprague stood well In the lead with her class and had been honored with the office of vice-president of the class organization. She was an active member of the Philo lexlan Society of the High School. Funeral services were conduct ed Thursday afternoon at the Hawthorne Presbyterian Church, corner Kast Twelfth and Taylor streets, Rev. K. Nelson Allen, pastor. Interment was In Green wood Cemetery.

Spirit of Fairness Marked Delibera tions of Delegates, Says C. A. McCIain Vote That Tramp Athelete Must Go." "There was a spirit of fairness and a determination to do the square thing among all the delegates to the Northwest College conference," said Carl A. McCIain, of the University of Oregon, who returned from Walla walla last Monday. "All the delegates realized that improper conditions had existed in Northwest athletics for some years and that the conference should adopt certain well-defined rules and enforce them with out fear or favor. "Conspicuous among the rules adopted is the year's residence rule for men who have played on other college teams. This.) role applies to men who come from all colleges. Its observance will eliminate the 'tramp' athlete who goes from one institution to another for athletics only. it is an excellent rule and will tend to correct abuses that have caused frequent scandals here in the Northwest. The rule has been tried in the East and Middle West and has had the effect of purifying athletics in these sections. "In connection with this rule a regula tion was adopted requiring a year's resi dence from preparatory or sub-freshmen students. It has been customary for some of the colleges to recruit men from the high schools and academies before they were ready for college. In fact, most of ttje 'tramp' athletes have been in the preparatory departments of the different schools. Big Schools 'ot Hit. "Tills rule will' affect the State Uni versities of Oregon or Washington, for neither of these Institutions is doing- pre paratory work. "The four-jear rule was made retroac tive, but it will not go into efTect until the end of the present college year. The delegates were -of the opinion that four years of 'college athletics ara enough for any man. inis rule win put a premium upon scholarship,- for poor students who flunk will not be permitted to parti cipate in athletics beyond the regular term of their college Course. "All men who engage in inter-collegiate athletics will be required to carry success fully at least three-fourths of the maxi mum amount of work required bythe curriculum of the school ,-in which they are registered, and no student will be permitted to compete who is delinquent in more than one-half of a semester's work. In other words football men can not drop out of college when the season closes and return for the following sea son. Professionalism. Sunday baseball and Summer baseball on 'brush' league teams will not be tolerated. . "The conference adopted a few simple rules and they will be rigidly enforced. T.here will be no red tape and unnecessary machinery of operation. The governing athletic body of each college will be the court of appeal for all questions pertain ing to the athletics of that college and each institution will be in honor bound to live up to the conference rules. Championship Track Meet. "The conference recommended a cham pionship track meet for the year 1909. This win probably be held at the Alaska Yukon-Pacific Exposition. "There were no serious differences of opinion in the minds of the delegates and the conference was altogether harmoni ous. Whitman College deserves- great credit for calling the meeting and for her hospitable treatment of the delegates. "The four-year rule will disqualify a number of football men at Pullman and one or two at Idaho and Whitman, Arnspiger will be the only Oregon man affected by the rule. -Arnspiger has already played his fpur years as tackle on our team, but as he is earning his own way through college by doing surveying work he has missed a good deal of class work and will not graduate with hi3 class next June. He will be in college next year, but the new rule will keep him out of the conference games. "This will naturally be a great disap pointment .to the Oregon students, but the wisdom of the four-year rule cannot be doubted and there will be no com plaint, even if it works a temporary hard- l'A:;'G OOP to mmmm l ship. The work of the conference will hieet with general approval at Eugene. LOAN EXHIBIT AT MUSEUM Local Collectors Donate the Vse of Modern AYatercolors.
