THE STTXDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, MAT 27, 1917.
DEPARTURE LIKELY JUNE 1
Bwo Local Companies of Northwest
Battalion Probably Will Spend
30 Days in Concentration
Camp at American Lake.
The local companies of ths Eighth
Engineers, the organization that Is ex
pected to mobilize within the week
preparatory to their departure for
France, are being raDldly recruited. At
present approximately 60 men have
been signed up, though not yet en
listed. In one company being recruited
by Kenneth D. Hauser, of Grant, Smith
& Co. Another of the local companies
Is being recruited by Harold Young, a
prominent Portland railroad engineer.
From Information that the company
recruiting officers have at hand it is
xpected that the two local companies
Of engineers belonging to the eighth
will leave Portland the latter part of
the week for the concentration camp
at American Lake. Such information
Comes from Ban Francisco from Colonel
Cavanaugb, commander of the Eighth
Engineers.
It Is also expeoted that the local
Companies will be In camp at Ameri
can Lake for at least 80 days. How
toon they will leave for France no one
knoTi here as yet.
Two Companies Recruiting Here.
Portland has the distinction of being
the recruiting headquarters for two of
the three companies of the battalion
to be raised from Northwest cities. Mr.
Hauser Is to be captain of one of the
companies and Mr. Toung the other.
Major Jewett, now stationed at the lo
cal office of the United States En
gineers, will command one of the bat
talions. The second battalion of three com
panies that will fill out the Eighth
Engineers Is being recruited In Cali
fornia. San Francisco is the head
quarters for that battalion. Main
tenance and operation engineers will
comprise the California battalion, and
the construction men will bo for the
most part In the Northwest battalion.
The opportunity the Eighth En
gineers Regiment offers young men of
some engineering and construction ex
perience Is attracting many to that or
ganization. More than 100 of the employes of
Grant, Smith & Co. have been attracted
to the organization, and many of them
have left lucrative positions to take
places of non-commissioned offices and
privates in the regiment.
Several employes of Twohy Bros.,
Porter Bros., Guthrie, McDougall & Co.
and other well-known contracting
firms also have Joined the Eighth En
gineers. '
Admittance Refused Many.
Th high class of the local battalion
la shown In the careful selection of
the men, who will be no more than
- privates In the regiment. More than
100 men have failed to gain admittance
Into the organization.
One of the points emphasized by the
recruiting officers is that even a pri
vate with the Eighth Engineers will
really be a construction foreman when
he begins active Bervice. Qualifica
tions for holding such positions will
have to be demonstrated to the exam
ing officers before recommendations
for enlistment will be given.
There are still a number of vacan
cies in the local companies, and those
desiring further Information may se
cure it from either of the recruiting
officers. Captain Hauser or Captain
Toung, or from the headquarters of the
Army Engineers In the Custom-house.
It is possible that the men who will
have been enlisted by June 1 will go
to the concentration camp at that time
and the ranks be filled as soon as re
cruits are obtained.
Headquarters of both Captain Hauser
and Captain Toung are In the Mult
nomah Hotel.
