THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, JULY 20, 1015.
17l
MEXICAN SEHV1GE 15
EXPECTED BY THIRD
Information Passed Out That
Tropical Uniforms Are Re
ceived at Armory.
OFFICERS REFUSE TO TALK
Underground Source of Information
Sets October as Time for Start
ing to Southern Republic, With
Nothing Said About Return.
That before many months Oregon's
citizen soldiers will see service beneath
the vertical rays of a tropic sun is
firmly believed by friends of the Third
Regiment, who have learned from un-
omciai out reliable, sources that a
complete regimental allotment of cot
ton uniforms, light Summer underwear
and otner equipment suitable for
campaign In a hot climate, has been re
reived recently at the Armory In Port
land.
Officers of the regiment were non
committal when questioned as to the
probable significance of the receipt of
the shipment from the War Depart
ment, but to the men. when discussing
the matter among themselves, there is
out one meaning, and that is that they
are shortly to be ordered to Mexico.
The word is even whispered about that
"it will happen in October."
Recent dispatches from Washington
regarding, the recall of Ambassador
Wilson from Mexico City, and news of
unabated disorder from the country of
kaleidoscopic governmental changes,
lend color to the picture which many
of "the boys" are painting of armed
Intervention, with themselves as actors
In the drama of restoring peace In the
troubled republic to the south.
They refuse to believe that the open
ing of hostilities will be deferVed until
October, although the information that
October will see the receipt of their
orders from Washington to entrain
southward is said to have come "under
ground" direct from the War Depart
ment. Whatever the date of the order,
there is no question in their minds but
that it will be received, and that it will
mean that perhaps they will wear out
several allotments of cotton uniforms
before the return trip Is made.
Vancouver Has Large Supplies.
The belief that Uncle Sam proposes
to take a hand In the Mexican em
broglio Is not based alone on the
knowledge that there are cotton uni
forms and other Summer wearing ap
parel stored in the Armory at Portland.
It is known that 20.000 stands of rifles,
with 3,000.000 rounds of ammunition,
uniforms, blankets, tents, mess tools and
other field equipment have recently
been received at the Vancouver. Wash.,
barracks, where the Twenty-first In
fantry of regulars is stationed, with
complete equipment of its own.
Those who think they see the war
cloud gathering to the southward argue
that the receipt of this formidable sup
ply of war goods at "Vancouver Is
simply confirmation, of their predic
tion and of the more direct intimation
of coming Mexican Intervention that
is conveyed by the receipt of the tropi
cal fighting togs at the local Armory.
"Ne-nr Poller"-" Reanon ' Given.' "
The arrival of the rifles and other
equipment at Vancouver Is 'explained"
- as the first step In a new policy of the
War Department. Under this policy,
arms, munitions nd accountrements,
instead of being stored in two or three
main central depots In widely sep
arated parts of the country, will be
distributed in smaller quantities to
: many depots, scattered through the
country. This. It is pointed out, will
make the equipment more available in
case of war. not necessarily with
Mexico, but with any country, and will
render Impossible the destruction of
. any vast quantity of these valuable
supplies by a single fire or explosion,
as was the case in the loss of the hi
military depot at (Bonlta. Cal.. a few I
mimma ago.
By this policy of distribution it is
argued that the danger of the serious I
crippung of the military efficiency of
- the country by reason of the capture
of any single supply depot by an in
vading force is obviated.
Various Theories Scouted.
However, !t Is not denied that it
would be a distinct advantage to have
a plentiful supply of arms, ammunition
arid uniforms at Vancouver in case of
' this country's intervention in the Mex
ican, muddle. "
.. To those tvbo are keeping close
.watch of the Mexican siturtion some
thins: every member of the Third Regi
ment. Oregon Nationj.1 Guard, is doing
.filer., Is, tyvtor .meaning for those
cotton uniforms at the Armorv and
those 20.000 rifles at Vancouver."
Suggest'ons of service in the Phil
ippines or the Hawaiian Islands, or of
war with Japan, are scouted as- being
unworthy of consideration. It is urged
that the regulars can take care of the
insular possessions, and that In case
of war with Japan, which is considered
a rather remote possibility, uniforms
fit for service on this coast, such as are
not made of cotton, would be needed.
To these arguments are added those
that American life and property In
Mexico must eventually be protected,
however long the crisis may be de
layed, . And so the whisper passes beneath
the felt slouch hats of the Third Ore
gon,. "Mexico in October!"
COUNTY MUST PAY $11,000
State Will Collect for Care of Feeble
Minded. SALEM, Or., July 19. (Special.)
The Multnomah County Commissioners
virtually have admitted to State Treas
urer Kay that the county must turn
over to the state $11,000 due for taking
care of feeble-minded persons at the
state institution.
Refusal by the county to pay the
money was based on the plea that the
state had not reimbursed it for taking
care of non-resident paupers.
'It has been held that the counties
must pay the State Treasurer for keep
ing feeble - minded . persons, whereas
Multnomih County must look to an
appropriation by the Legislature for
being: reimbursed for caring for non
resident paupers.

HOOD RIVER, Or.. July 19. (Spe
cial.) By August 1 Hood River
will be half depopulated, residents
planning to be away during the warm
weeks on outings in the mountains
and on the coast. The stories that have
been brought back from the region of
Cloud Cap Inn as to the excellent
skiing there has made a strong appeal
to local men, and no less than a half
dozen parties are now being formed to
visit the giant snowfields this Summer
and enjoy the exhilarating sport. Four
men, who- spent last week on north base
of Hood, and who took their skis with
them, declared that they were loath to
leave the scenic and Invigorating at
mosphere of the mountain. The party,
composed of Richard Yates, Eric Don
aldson, Fred Coshow and D. A. Craw
ford, camped at the snowline.
"We had plenty of blankets," says
Mr. Coshow, "and slept warmly, but
every morning when we arose the little
streams from the melting snow were
frozen. We were never still long
enough In daytime to become cold, for
we passed every day either on the
snowfields on our skis or exploring the
beautiful spots at the foot of the gla
ciers. In flying over the snow on skis
1 believe we would attain a speed of
a mile a minute at times."
People are leaving daily now for the
different camping spots of the district.
The following party left Thursday for
Camp overall, on the headwaters of
the west fork of the Hood River: Mrs.
T. J. Kinnaird. Mrs. F. W. Radford.

AT MONTESANO HIGH SCHOOL,
HOT
ELIGIBLE ASK AID
Demand for Pensions Not No
ticeable in Rural or Little
Settled Counties. '
COURTS EXERCISING CARE
Densely Populated Sections of Ore
gon Hare Numerous Applicants
and That Heavy Drain Will
Result Is Indicated. '
In the rural counties of the state un
reached or only slightly tapped by rail
roads, applications for widows' pensions
have been few or entirely lacking. For
Instance, there have been none in
Wheeler or Tillamook counties and only
one in Curry County. In the . more
densely populated counties the reverse
is true.
Such is in brief the condition exposed
by reports on this subject which The
Oregonlan is continuing to receive from
all sections of Oregon.
Probably due to a misunderstanding
of tha provisions of the act many
widows have applied who are not en
titled to assistance. To quote directly
from section 1 of the law, eligibility is
set forth as follows:
Every woman who has one or more
children under the age of IS years, and
whose husband, is either dead or is an
inmate of some Oregon state institu
tion, or by reason of physical or men
tal disease is wholly unable to work.
and whose support or the support of
whose child or children is dependent
wholly or partly upon her labor, shall
be entitled to the assistance as pro
vided for in this act."
The County Courts are exercising a
great deal of care, in most instances,
in passing upon the applications, weed
ing out those which do not conform
strictly to the provisions of the law.
As It is, the pensions will prove a
heavy drain on the taxpayers. It con
tinues to be true that only a small
percentage of those allowed pensions
were receiving assistance irom tne pud
lie treasury previously.
JOSEPHINE AIDS 14 WIDOWS
Energy Sbown by Some Mothers In
Providing for Their Offspring.
GRANTS PASS. Or.. July 19. (Spe
clal.) The County Court of Josephine
County, Oregon, has received 14 appli
cations for pensions to be allowed un
der the widows' pension law passed at
the last session of the Legislature.
Each application has been approved by
the court, and the total monthly al-J
lowance is (305.
Of the 14 applicants, only one gives
Grants Pass as her place of residence,
the others coming from the country
precincts. - The total allowance pro
vides maintenance for 42 children, of
whom 18 are boys and 24 are girls. The
average age of the mothers applying
for pensions under the new law is J3
the oldest being 46 and the youngest
84. In all cases save one the husbands
are dead.
The residence in the county prior to
the application vari.es from two years
to 20 years. In only one case has help
been asked from the county prior to
the passage of the law.
The largest Individual pension al
lowed by the court is $40 a month and
the smallest 15 a month.
One widow owns 70 acres of river
bottom land 10 miles from Grants
Pass which she has cleared and paid
for, save for a small installment, by
her own labor. With her own hands
she has wielded the ax and the sledge,
felling the trees with which the land
was covered, and in the inter storms.
a picturesque figure in raincoat and
sou wester, she has personally naulea
the wood to town, sold and delivered
It, in order that her children might be
kept in school. By her own efforts
she has planted an orchard on
cleared portion, doing the labor of
planting and cultivation herself.
In nearly all cases the applications
show that the mothers have worked
bard in the support of their children,
earning at manual labor In cooking for
the mines, lumber camps and rough
cleaning and washing from S10 o $25
a month.
While the number of applications is
large yet the court feels that in all
cases the expenditure is Justifiable.
FOSSIL. Or., July 19. (Special.)
No widows have applied in Wheeler
County for pensions so far. The coun
ty has really no paupers, but one man
is assisted to a slight degree. A ranch
er is paid o0 a year to let this man
work on his ranch, the money going
mostly for clothing for the man given
help.
GOLD BEACH, Or., July 19. (Spe
cial.) There has been only one appli
cation for a widows pension In Curry
County. The applicant, widow of -IT.
K. Parker, who was drowned while
crossing Rogue River In the Spring of
1912, has been allowed 10 a month.
She has one minor child.
CORVALLIS, Or., July 19. (Special.)
iiasnt applications for pensions un
der the widows' pension law have been
made in this county. If all are ai
lowed, the outlay to the county would
be $272.60 a month. However, the local
County Court holds that the widows'
pension law does not relieve persons
legally liable for the support of rela
tlves, under section 2922, Lord's Ore
gon Laws, and it will be the policy of
the court to reject such applications.
In the list of eight applications are
found names of widows with parents
rated as worth from (10,000 to S50.000
In another instance, the wife of a man
confined Jn a penal Institution of an
other state asks for a pension. A total
of 34 children are involved in the eight
applications, in three instances seven
being In a single family.
