TWO ARE CAPITALISTS Lawyers, Dentists, Civil Engineers, Cooks, Chauffeurs, Barbers and All Mechanical Trades Are I Represented In Ranks. PXLiJI CITT, Cal., Aug. 19. (Spe cial.) The visit of Lieutenant-Colonel Frank M. Caldwell, of the regular Army, who Is Inspecting the Third Oregon Infantry, has kept the camp busy for the past few days. Numerous reports have to be submitted to the inspecting officer, and from a layman's standpoint probably none Is more in teresting than the tabulations which have been prepared showing the oc cupations of every man in each, com pany. An Informal condensation of these company reports shows that in the 11 companies now here more men are en tered as "students" than any other oc cupation. There are 167 students. Next in number come laborers, with a total of 120. Third in numerical strength are farmers. 96 of whom have enlisted, and fourth in the list a clerks, with 64 on the rolls. - Lairyers Not Numerous. For once, lawyers, who come in for so much attention when the vocations of legislators are being investigated. are clearlv outclassed. There seem to he only 16 of the species at Imperial Beach, although perhaps a few more may be at large in adjacent camps along, the border. At that there are no more lawyers than cooks, as the same number of the latter, 16, are on the rolls. Of chauffeurs there are 10, with eight barbers and the same num ber of civil engineers. The skilled trades, like carpentering, plumbing, woodworking, mechanics, show a to tal approximate enrollment of 67. Company C, perhaps, takes the lau rels for diversity of occupation among its members. It shows about every thing, including a dentist, a plumber, an optician, a baker and three broom makers. Also it boasts the only man on the records who puts down his pro fession as "soldier." Two Are Capitalists. Companies L and M each have an enlisted man who responds to the title of capitalist," and there is a police officer in headquarters company. The sanitary detachment properly Includes eight pharmacists and also carries a veterinarian. Company I has a school teacher, and G, from Oregon City, seven papermakers. Company I has a hop buyer. In A company there is a cheese maker and the only four streetcar men enlisted appear on the roster of B. Company A has the largest number of farmers, 23; Company II ranks first with 10 lawyers, and Company I with 27 laborers. The highest proportionate number of students is in thg, machine ' gun company, which has 22 men who gave that as their occupation, with Company A second, proportionately, with 26 men. and Company M with the greatest net total of 31. Altogether, the records show that about every oc cupa-ion imaginable is represented on tha rolls of the Third Oregon.

The Army truck, which arrived In camp this morning: with the supplies. contained a number of suspicious-look- ng boxes, when the boxes were opened ater it was found they contained 12.000 rounds of rifle ammunition and 8000 rounds for pistols. It is understood that when the troop reaches its sector on the border more ammunition will be received and that a rifle and pistol range will be mapped out. Sergeant Grief Gets Dlacharee. Top Sergeant John, Grief, whose ap plication for discharge has been in for several weeks, received his discharge papers today and will leave for Port land this evening. He Is going home because he has a family dependent upon him. Before leaving, a number of the troopers tendered llm a banquet. Sergeant Grief has served several en listments In the regular Army. He was stationed on the island and at Yellow stone National Park. Sergeant Harold Wright was appointed acting first ser geant. Long-Awaited July Pay Is Received, but Debts Canse Most of It to I Vanish In Short Order. CAL.EXICO. Cal., Aug. 19. (Special.) grooms and scrub brushes were brought forth todayi and the work of renovation was carried on with a wilL Busty nooka in the tents were cleaned out, cots swept, blankets aired and kits freed of every speck of dust. All day long the house-cleaning went on. stopping only long enough to re lieve the hunger of the soldiers. The streets also were well soliced, and by night the camp was aa clean as the proverbial whistle. Thirty more horses were sent to the hospital 'the other day, and no more drill will be held until the animals are in condition for the hard work in the ' heat. As yet, they still are not accli mated, and are undergoing the test for glanders. The distemper is slowly be ing overcome and some of ' the mounts are being used again. Today the long-delayed pay for July was received, but by the time debts were settled the boys had comparative ly little -to spend. However, feasting was in order and continued until the regular mess was almost forgotten. Battery A Notes ZIALEXICO. Cal.. Aug. 15. (Special.) V- Sunday night was going - home night in the battery, and the Billikens held a big blowout in honor of Cook Al Kreyer and Sergeant Elkins, who leave for home tomorrow at the ex piration of their enlistments. They re gret to go, but find It necessary be cause of the dependency of their fam ilies. Corporal Dufur laughed the other night and he laughed at the other fel low's troubles. But "Top Cutter" Jack son took a hand in the game and the corporal forgot his dignity to cut littie wood himself. The heat has brought a new work on the battery. Now all of the wheels on the carriages have dried up and shrunk so that they will have to be warped again ana reset. Private Stanley Is In the hospital re covering from a touch of blood poison' irtg in his foot. This Is the result of a swim and a nail-studded board. He will be on duty in about one month. Musician Lightner has obtained his discharge to care for his family. He will start for home as soon as the ar rangements are made. Several of the boys motored to Im perial and 1 Centro yesterday as tort of outing. At El Centro a fine pool affords good swimming, but only after payday can the boys stand the expense of the trip. Private Glbbs has been appointed musician In the battery. Gibbs had considerable experience with the bugle while h.e was enlisted m the infantry, BT WILL G. MAC RAB. CAMP BALBOA. San Diego, Cal.. Aug. 19. (Special.) Between the regular Saturday kit Inspection and eagerness to get through early so as to be on hand at the exposition and root for the Portland athletes that are taking part In the track and field meet, camp was in a turmoil of hurry and bustle today. All the troopers, and it is safe to say all the mounts, were glad to get a rest from drill. During the whole week, be ginning with payday and winding up with Friday's five hours of rapid-fire arm, this has been a stirring week- a week of high-speed attention. One of the most important things that the march to Imperial Beach has demon strated is that the troop is ready for most any kind of a mounted hike. This includes the troopers, as well as the horses, for both men and mounts made the round trip without producing a sore muscle on either man or beast. Outpost Drill Interesting. One of the interesting tactics that was worked out during the drill Frl day was that of doing outpost duty and beating the brush for supposed hidden enemies. To drive the enemy out of the thick undergrowth, half the troop was used scouts, while the main body lay concealed on the hillside about a mile away. Stationed about a mile apart were the signal men, with their red and white flags, and as each scouting party reported Its report was wig wagged to the main body. The area covered by the troopers figured a total of seven miles and. while executing the commands, practically all of the fine points that had been drilled Into the troopers since they have been wait ing for their mounts were brought Into Play. For the next week the stable and picket line will be kept spick and span, Two prominent Portland attorneys have been assigned to stable police, and for a week at least the 112 mounts of Troop A will have a couple of splendid chambermaids. This is a sort of pun ishment for being ten minutes late on taps. Only Kive Fall to Stand Test. Inspection of saddles and kits this morning was as rigid as ever and, as the commanding officers passed down the line, only five kits exposed for in spection fell below the standard. ThI being Saturday and an aXternoon off, the punishment for not having saddle or any part of the kit clean is that th guilty persons must put In two hours after noon mess cleaning his outfit over again and stand a second inspection. This delayed five troopers from enjoy The Portland recruiting office for the Oregon National Guard, which has been established at Third and Oak streets, will be open daily from 8 A. M. to 6 P. M.. and on Sundays from 1 to 4 P. M. Captain John B. Hibbard Is In charge as recruiting officer, and re ported yesterday that results were good. Floyd L. Dickey, a private attached to Company L at Palm City,, has writ ten a letter to Captain Hibbard which is interesting and which is gratifying to officers of the guard. It reads, in part: 'You may not remember me. but i am one of the Sheridan recruits. I see by the newspapers that the Oregon men are not responding to the call for recruits to fill up the Third Oregon In fantry as freely as is desired. The trouble is, I think, that many boys have the wrong idea and impression of camp lire along tne border. I read, and before I came, heard many people say that the soldiers were In need of proper rations and other things, but I find that Is not the case. When the first men came to thdif ferent camps. there were probably many necessities tnat they could not get for a short time. But after getting camp estab lished, everything could be had that any soldier could wish for. I am tak ing this one camp as an example, but 1 guess conditions are the same In all of them. The conditions, in short, are not as bad as many think. I never hear any complaints from the other men. I was. in fact, very much surprised to find that we get so much pic, cake and lemonade, as well as a variety of vege tables and meat. "The drills are very easy, only three hours a day. The weather isn't as warm as It was at home when I left. We are located a short distance from Imperial beach and enjoy surf bathing every day. or the 1350 soldiers there are only eight or ten In the hospitals, and these all are confined with minor ailments. We enjoy many privileges. such as going to San Diego and other places.' MEDICAL TEST FAVORED IXSURAXCB AGEXT WOULD HAVE EVERY OXB EXAMINED.

Hearing the crackling sound Ella I dashed Into the burning room, cladl only In a nightgown. "With the baby in her arms she tied into the hall, and as she passed through the door a flame I swept across her forehead, singeing her hair. By this time the mother and the grandmother had been warned. The mother gathered into her arms another sleeping baby, Benjamin. Dense smoke filled the house, but I Ella rushed Into the home again and grabbed Benjamin from her mother's! arms le&vinc the older woman frA t r I help the aged grandmother to safety. There were three other children to think of, and Ella started back again into the suffocating smoke. She was detained, however, by friends, who as sured her that the other children were safe.
