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.

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

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

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.

Saturday kit Inspection and eagerness
to get through early so as to be on

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

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
