TITE SUNDAY OREGOMAN, rORTLAXD, MAY 23, 1915.
GUARD COMPANY C
WILL CELEBRATE
Reunion at Armory Tomorrow
Night to Commemorate 16th
Anniversary of Formation.
CREDITABLE RECORD MADE
Organized With Aim of Going to
Quell Philippine Insurrection,
Hostile Force Never Met, Ixut
Mettle Proved In Peace.
Just. 16 years ago tomorrow, on May
14. 1S99, 40 young men of Portland. In
the expectation of being immediately
called to the Philippine Islands, where
the Filipino insurrection was then at
its height, met at the Armory and or
ganized as C Company. Third Regiment
of Infantry. Oregon National Guard.
They were not sent to the front as
fhey had hoped, but instead of dis
banding they kept the organization
intact, and C Company ever since has
been one of the crack units of the
present Third Infantry.
The 16th anniversary of the found
ing of the Company will be celebrated
iu a reunion of its present and former
members, who include some of the
best-known business and professional
men of the city, at the Armory tomor
row night.
Though C Company has never heard
the crackle of hostile musketry and the
crashing of big shells in battle, it has
a record of peace service in which its
members take deep pride. If it had
never done anything more than it ac
complished, for instance, in 1910, the
year of great forest fires through Ore
gon and the whole Northwest, it would
right there have justified the great
value of military organization, and
discipline and readiness in time of
peace.
Company Assembled Quickly.
In the Summer of that year, a forest
fire, starting in the Cascade Moun
tains near the Bull Run forest, got be
yond control of the rangers and swept
toward the timbered reserve that pro
tects Portland's water supply. A call
was sent out for troops to help save
the watershed.
At 4 o 'clock one afternoon. Captain
I. K. Bowman, of C Company got or
ders from "Adjutant-General Finzer to
assemble his men. Thougn the men
of the company work at almost as
many different places through the city
and every man had to be reached per
sonally, in exactly two hours the com
pany. In full strength. and fully
equipped, including cooks and mess
equipment, was lined up at the Armory
and Captain Bowman notified the Adjutant-General
that he was ready.
They were not sent out, however, un
til the following morning. Then, with
Company II, they took train for Bor
ing, with orders to go on to the little
hamlet of Monmouth near the Bull Run
reserve, which was reported to be sur
rounded by fire. At Boring they were
Joined by Company E, Captain Smith,
who as senior officer present, took
command of the battalion. Boring it
self was In danger. In five minutes
the whole, battalion had thrown their
packs, and in two hours they had given
such valuable assistance that the town
was safe.
Hht In Dnsr.
Leaving 25 men there as a detail In
ease of further danger. Captain Smith,
commandeering lumber and tie wagons,
set off with the rest of the battalion
for Monmouth. At the town of Sandy,
on the way, orders reachedthem from
Adjutant-General Finzer that they
would be met by a forest ranger, and
were to work under his orders. In the
meantime Monmouth had been saved
by its own citizens and the forest
ranger ordered the troops to march
along the Sandy River toward the re
serve, now in serious danger.
At 8 o'clock that night the troops
camped, but at 5 in the morning they
were again on the march. At Bright
wood C Company, under Captain Bow
man, was detached and sent seven
miles further up the road toward Mount
Hood.
Word had been received that Rhodo
dendron Inn was in danger. At the Inn
Lee M. Holden. now battalion chief of
the Portland fire department, borrowed
a detachment of 12 men. After work
ing far into the night, the inn was
saved, and Mr. Holden returned the
men with the greatest praise for their
efficient service.
Almost immediately afterward a for
est ranger, who had been continuously
In the saddle for 29 hours, came up
with word that fire was sweeping up
the further ridge of Zig-Zag Mountain,
at the, base of which (tie Inn is situated,
and calling for immolate help. Cap
tain Bowman took 35 men and started
up the mountain.
Spread of Fire Stayed.
For several hours they toiled up the
slope, climbing over logs and pushing
through dense growth. They had at
tained a clearing about 3000 feet up,
when the fire was seen coming over
the crest of the mountain.
Captain Bowman timed it with his
watch as he' set his men at work
trenching and backfiring. In 60 min
utes It swept eight miles down the
mountain side to the clearing where
they were making their stand.
There, after a fight lasting for hours,
digging trenches, starting backfires
and beating out small blazes that
started up In the brush about them
everywhere, they prevented the main
fire from crossing a small creek in
the clearing and stayed its progress.
For six days and nights the company
was engaged in almost continual fire
figliting in this vicinity. By that time
the danger was over, and the Bull Run
Forest Reserve was saved. The men
of Companies K and H, farther down,
had also done heroic service, but -it
was to C Company, which bore the
brunt of the hardest and roughest
work, right on the main firing line, to
use a. fitting war term, that the for
est rangers gave the main credit for
saving the watershed.
Field Record Creditable.
C Company ulso has a great record
in field service atid maneuvers. It has
always ranked us one of the best two
or three of the 22 company organizations
In Oregon, find has more than once
received high praise from Regular
Army officers for its efficiency at in
spections, but the men of the company
take most pride, perhaps, in the fact
that they belong to the "Fighting First
Battalion." in which also are B Com
pany and D Company.
This battalion, commanded by Major
T A Bowman, a former captain of C
Company, gained its name in the 1912
maneuvers in the Grays Harbor region.
As part of the "Red army, it marched
from Montesano to Gate, under theo
retical fighting conditions for at least
half of the distance. But It made its
great reputation by a night climb tip

suddenly fell on the battery.
Since its organization, C Company
has had three captain. Its first cap
tain was Arthur J. Clothier, who com
manded, it for live years. He was suc
ceeded by Captain L, A. Bowman. When
he was promoted to Major eight years
later, Daniel K. Bowman . took com
mand, his commission dating from
March, 1912.
Captain Bowman is a charter mem
ber of the company. He enlisted as a
private, served successively as corporal,
duty sergeant and first sergeant, was
commissioned Second Lieutenant in
1904, First Lieutenant five years later,
and Captain in 1912. He is the only
charter member now in the company.
Next to him in service comes Ser
geant Cullins, a member of the Port
land police bureau, who has served 15
years in the company.
C Company has furnished many men
to the non-commissioned staff who
have afterward risen to be officers of
other companies. Major Alva W.

Guard, obtained his first 'military in

AID SERBIA, IS PLEA
Madame Grouitch Due to Ar
rive Here on Mission.
TYPHUS DANGER IS SHOWN
Wife of Serbian Sex-rctary of Foreign
Affairs, Who Is American Girl,
Describes Pestilence . ancl
Hung-er of Homeless.
In the interest of the destitute Serb
ians. Madame Slavko Grouitch, wife of
the Serbian Secretary of Foreign Af
fairs, who is an American girl by birth
ami Serbian by adoption, will pass
through Portland tomorrow or Tuesday
en route to Tacoma and Seattle, plead
ing for the suffering and destitute
women and children of her little coun
try. Madame Grouitch is making a tour
of America to acquaint the American
people with the dreadful devastation
and destitute condition of her adopted
country. She arrived in this country
early in January to arouse interest
In her people and start relief commit
tees to raise funds to provide clothing,
hemes, grain and food for the loyal
Serbians.
She organized the Serbian Agricul
tural Belief Committee of America,
with headquarters in New York. Among
the articles for which the Serbian
Society makes its appeal are motors,
tents, plows, hoes, shovels, rakes, har
rows, watering cans, garden hose,
field ovens, camp kitchens, simple
household utensils. clothting of all
kinds for men. women and children.
Hnndreilff of Taousandts Homeless.
On account of the terrible typhus dis
ease spreading over the section of the
country, which has necessitated the
bnrning of their homes, clothing and
everything in which the germ would
lurk, there are hundreds of thousands
of Serbians living in tents, with little
or no clothing, and without food. The
women arc obliged to take the places
of the men on the farms and endeavor
to reclaim their denuded lands.
Madame Grouitch. in one of her talks,
sounded the warning that the dreaded
typhus might come to this country un
less efforts are made immediately to
stamp It out. by giving clothing to
replace that which has reen burned
to destroy the germs, sending medicine
and other necessities that will enable
the nurses and surgeons to conquer the
epidemic.
It is a hurl-owing tale that Madame
Grouitch tells of the Serbs. In many
cases terrible operations are performed
without anesthetics, the only antisep
tics being tar soap and carbolic acid.
Thousands are lying on the ground
without shelter, thousands are dying
when first-aid necessities would have
cured them, and whole families are
vermin-covered because they have no
other clothing than that covering their
1 ravaged bodies, which might contain

the deadly germ. The typhus insect
was brought over ir. the clothing of
Austrian prisoners, who were taken to
Serbia, and the epidemic spread rap
idly before it became-"recognized.
Americans Thought Concerned.
"Americans ought to watch this bat
tle more than the battles of bayonet
and cannon." says Madame Grouitch,
"for their own people are concerned
in it."
Madame Grouitch, who was Miss
Mabel Dunlap, of Virginia, has given
several heart-rending descriptions of
the conditions in her adopted country
in various parts of California, recently
talking to the members and friends of
the Sorosis Club in San Francisco, and
at a luncheon for which a prominent
San Francisco matron was hostess sev
eral days ago.
Madame Grouitch will pass through
Portland tomorrow and plans to give a
talk at the home of Mrs. Walter F.
Burrell. who has become tremendously
interested in the sufferings of the
Serbians.

With IS candidates all primed and
cocked for the last lap of the cam
paign leading up to the city election,
June 7, it is expected the real pre
election fuss will develop before the
end of another week. Candidates so
far have been retiring as far as the
making of a noise is concerned, and
as a result public interest in the cam
paign has been lukewarm, but it Is
said the real powder and redfire has
been held in reserve for the last 10
days.
tfo far the campaign has been what is
known in political parlance as a "per
sonal campaign." This consists of the
extensive distribution by the candidate
of handshakes, smiles, promises and
cards. No opportunity is missed to
shake and smile an opening into the
ood graces of one of the many thou
sands who will decide which ones of
the candidates get the J5000-a-y ear

Portland will elect 16 candidates June
7, though there are three positions to
be filled.
The city is littered with the cam

promises of the candidates. Nearly
everybody has used the card system
except Commissioner Brewster, who
announced in the beginning that he is
for the "city .beautiful" idea. and
therefore will put out no "tree and

PORTLAND IS CRITICISED
mj(;ligkcf. iv nnu protiiction
ASSERTED.
iBdrrnrlttn' Report of San' Francisco
I'ncompllmentary to Bureau
and City Officlala.
Portland comes In for 'severe criti
cism in the current issue of the Un
derwriters' Report, an insurance paper
printed at San Francisco, for alleged
negligence in failing to prevent fires.
or for failing to remove the causes of
fires.
After paying its respects to the Port
land fire bureau, which it declares
"far from perfect" in handling fires
that gain great headway, the article
in question proceeds in this fashion to
arraign the city officials and the peo
pie generally:
"In this, however, the fire depart
ment only reflects the general apathy
of Portland city officials in a perfunc
tory observance of totally inadequate
building laws and restrictions designed
to prevent fire waste. The downtown
or congested section of Portland is
filled with numberless frame shacks,
which are fire breeders of the most
objectionable sort. Itelics of the vl
lage days before Portland grew into
a great city, they are maintained
through the greed of their owners, and
because Portland has never realized
their menace to surrounding property.
Insurance men have grown hoarse pro
testing to the authorities against their
maintenance in the downtown district.
"Another reason tor a rate increase
in Portland is the appalling growth
and extent of incendiary fires. For
several years the arsonist has made
the Oregon metropolis his home and
the insurance companies have had to
bear the burden."
