8 TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND, JUNE 27, 1015. " OREGON ARTILLERY SHOWS EFFICIENCY Three Hits Out of Four Shots Made in Mortar Practice at Fort Stevens. REGULARS' WORK EQUALED Men 'Who Made t.'p entrained Mob of four Years Ago Xow Handle 10 and 12-lncli Weapons . Willi Accuracy of Experts. FOflT STEVENS'. Or.. Jun 26.. (Spe cial.) Tliat which- other states are ' speculating upon, Oregon is accom plishing namely, the military defense of its own coast' line. The results of the recent annual target practice of the eight companies of Coaat Artillery lieserves. representing practically every important city in the state, dem onstrates beyond a shadow of doubt the fact that citizen soldiery can be trained into a thoroughly efficient co ordinating branch of the regular Army. Firing under the same conditions and with the same guns, projectiles and powder charges as the regulars use. they have achieved results during this year's target practice season that will stand as a monument to the abilities of Captain Collins, their regular Army inspector instructor, and to the con sistent efforts of the Fort Stevens au thorities in their endeavor to perfect b. defensive fighting machine second to no oLher state in the Union. Great Improvement Made. I-ea than four years ago the Oregon Coast Artillery Reserves might have been truthfully described as an un trained mob. At that time a regular soldier or officer watched their every move as they awkwardly attempted to manipulate the 10 and 12-inch weapons that defend the mouth of the Columbia liiver basin, the inlet that guards 250.. OOU square miles of the northwestern area of the United States. Thi year the regulars acted more as observers than instructors. I'robably the most surprising event of this season's training was the ex ceptional result gained by the mortar companies in obtaining three hits out of four shots fired. This is a score that would have pleased any regular organization in the United States serv ice. Mortars are difficult to handle eurcessf ully. All the firing is Indirect and depends for its results upon the transmission of information from sta tions located as a general rule thou sands of yards from the batteries. Um; Xr Hi nine Required. Obtaining, transmission and use of this data requires quickness, accuracy unci highly trained technical ability. Year after year the reserves have man aged to bring with them to their en campment at Fort Stevens the same men as they used on former encamp ments so as to Insure eventual perfec tion in the handling of the more dif ficult positions. Some of these men have lost valuable positions because of their devotion to the cause of the state. Both the mortar and gun shells" are rendered more terrific in their de structive effects by being filled with . high-power explosive compound known as dunnite. It is said that only three men In the United States Army , are thoroughly familiar with the In gredients from which it is made. The Kngljsh lyddite and the Japanese sbim tose are far inferior to the American explosive. Military experts are working on what is termed a "delay and non-delay-action" fuse. The purpose of this in vention is to insure instantaneous ex plosion It a mast or other slight ob struction is met. and delayed action If armor plate i to be first penetrated. Nearly 500 reserves leave for their homes tomorrow. PRISON MILL TO OPERATE Washington Gets Jute Supply for Walla Walla. OLYMP1A, Wash.. June 26. (Spe cial.) After two months' efforts, the r-tate Board of Control has succeeded In closing contracts for 2000 bales of Jute at $24. thus insuring operation of the grain bag mill at Walla Walla penitentiary for the coming year.

The difficulty of procuring space In vessels from Calcutta to Hongkong and from Hongkong to Pacific Coast ports made It seem probable for a time that the penitentiary mill would be forced to close.

IDAHO COMMITTEE CONVENES JOLY 7 Republican Organization to Choose New Chairman on Resignation of Mr. Day. NEW BLOOD IS WANTED Recall of Bull Moose Hinges on Selection of Leaders for 1916 Campaign and Several Are Mentioned to Direct Party. BOISE. Idaho. June 26. (Special.) The Republican state central committee has been called to meet in Boise. July 7, CORVALLIS FIRST IN 53 YEARS. and not a little political importance is attached to the conference. In fact, George A. Day, state chairman. In issu ing the call says the meeting is one at which "there will be business of great importance to the party." , Part of that important business will be to act on the resignation of State Chairman Day, which whl be presented on the ground that he does not feel he can devote more of his time to leader ship duties and. that it is'tkne for some, one else to take up the work. Following on the heels of the dispo sition of the long list of Indictments against public officials in the state house, the conference of party leaders is believed to indicate that the pro gramme to- put new men in charge of party affairs will be followed out to the letter. l-;rly Start Is Favored. In retiring . as state chairman Mr. Day will Inform the committee that he believes an early start should be made for the 1916 campaign so that the party can present a uniteu front in the elec tion. A strong bid Is to be made for the vote of the Progressives. It is known that Senator Borah has been negotiat ing (or.junt such a. merger. He has been able to approach the Progressive party leaders in Idaho as no other man could have done. The Progressives in sist on a change of Republican leaders before they will consent to act on over tures. Republican party leaders, con servatives and progressives, believe also this should be done. The Progressive vote, as cast at the last election, holds the balance of power in an election if the Bull Moose care to use it. but tho greater part of the vote has Republican tendencies. Chairmanship Seekers Numerous. There Is an interesting contest on for the state chairmanship. A number ef prospective candidates have been men tioned and two of them, at least, may be considered actively In the race at the present time. They are Evan Evans, of Grangeville, who was manager for ex-Chief Justice Ailshie when he was a candidate for United States Senator, and Shad L. Hodglns, ex-United States Marshal. Mr. Evans Is said not to be satisfac tory to the Brady Republicans. Senator Brady was Justice Ailshie's successful opponent for the Senatorship. While Senator Borah will not attempt to dictate the chairmanship. It is known that the election of Mr. Hodglns will not be unsatisfactory to him. Mr. Hodglns was appointed Marshal through the influence of Idaho's senior Senator. The other two possible candi dates for chairman are E. H. Dewey, of Nam pa. and Charles L. Heitman, of Rathdruro. They can hardly be called candidates, however. To induce them to take charge of the party's affairs would require some effort. Both Look II lie her. Both have strong Gubernatorial as pirations. U is understood the north ern part of the state will try to center on Mr. Heitman and the southern section on Mr. Dewey. Mr. Dewey has almost been selected as the nominee by some of the leaders. The third man who begins to loom up with some strength as a possible Guber natorial candidate Is D. W. Da via. ot American Falls, ex-State Senator and a member of the state central commit, tee. While progressive in his tenden cies, he is said to be satisfactory to the conservatives. Mr. Davis nearly en tered the race for the nomination two years ago. He was only held back by the fact that Senator Brady was run ning for re-election. He is a close per sonal and, business friend, of the Junior Senator. Farmer Reseat Opinion. Bine the action taken by E. G. Davis, Assistant Attorney-General, in advjsiny "7t the State Auditor it would be unwise to lssuewarrants against the farm bu reau appropriation of $10,000, the Davis gubernatorial stock has dropped off several fractions. The agricultural in terests have been inclined to view his actidVi as uncalled for and unfriendly to their only representative department of the state government. Captain Davis says that the opinion he ex pressed was offhand and was not of ficial. The matter may be settled with out a test being made on the consti tutionality of the act. Captain -Davis to Resign. Captain Davis will resign about July 20 as Assistant Attorney-General and take up law practice in Boise. He was formerly secretary of the Republican State Central Committee. The report also has been current "In political circles that James F. Ailshie. now engaged In private law practice, will enter the gubernatorial race. He was defeated for United States Sena tor before the Legislature and two years following at adlrect election. Judge Ailshie. however, has strong sup porters in bis party in the north. He may swing his strength and support to Mr. Heitman. POST PLANS TOURNEY VANCOUVER BARRACKS BOYS HAVE! SPORTS.

TROOPS IN PRISON STUDY TRADKS TAUGHT AT A LCATRAZ ISLAND BARRACKS. Method Inanarnrated to Enable Dishon orably Discharged Soldiers t Kind Work More Kaslly. VANCOUVER' BARRACKS, Wash., June 26. (Special.) Captain Charles R. Howland, of the Twenty-first In fantry, who was sent to 'Alcatraz Island, in Ban Francisco Bay, a few months ago to take charge of the bar racks there, has instituted vocational training for prisoners on the island. According to an account received from Alcatraz, a military prisoner hereafter may choose one or several of 2 4 trades and make himself proficient in any one while serving sentence. The list includes printing, tailoring, masonry, or. in fact, almost anything that does not require a college education. Captain Howland believes that to in crease a man's earning capacity it is Lecessary to lessen his inclination to live dishonestly. With the added ad dition of several trades work is easier for the discharged prisoner to find. Prisoners who are guilty of military offenses only have the advantage of going into disciplinary companies and eventually being restored to duty us a soldier and eventually receive hon orable discharge. TheBe may re-enlist and take up arms as a profession, finally retiring on three-fourths pay for the remainder of their lives. At Alcatraz at present there are 462 prisoners. Seventy-nine of these men will be restored to duty In the ranks. But the majority will need a trade, for the "yellow ticket," which means dishonorable discharge, will be their lot.
