PORTLAND OR BUST THEIR SLOGAN
A Cadet Corps, ccmprising GO of
Eureka, California's m st athletic lads,
have started on then long overland
march to the Cortland Exposition and
will pas- through Koseburg the latter
part of ibis mouth. Of this big tramp
i he Kureka Standard says:
"Promptly at 9 o'clock Monday morn
ing June 11', in trout of the Congrega
tional church at Eighth and G streets,
the fifty and odd boys of the Congrega
tional Cadet Corps of Eureka,
formed ranks anil were ready for the
inarch from Kureka to Portland, Oregon
a distance of 482 miles, and which will
be covered in easy stages in about five
w. eks, arriving in Portland July 20th,
or possibly sooner.
There was some delay in the parting
scenes between the boys and their par
ents and friends and again to have
themselves photographed, but at 9:15
Captain Emery gave the command and
to K, down F to Second, along Second
the march begao, along Eighth street
to H, out of H to Seventh and thence to
Areata.
There were many weeping mothers
who hid their boys good by, for, while
the march is not considered dangerous,
or in any way a strain on the boys'
endurance, still the feeling lingers that
perhaps something might happen to the
dear boy. and he never be again seen
alive. Eureka is sending a fine exhibit
to the i.ew is and Clark Exposition, in
these sixty lads, who are the pick of the
club of nearly 150 boys. They were in
fine spirits and looked very soldiery
in their khaki uniformH, with blankets
acro-s their shoulders, canteens on the
hip, flags flying, drums beating, and
the cheers of our citizens as they
marched along the streets.

Weapon with intent to kill John Fletch

Hranton ami Fletcher were returning
from Cottage Urove to Braoton's home,
two miles out in the country, Fletcher

face. Fletcher accused Branton of try
ing to kill him in order to get the 3000
insurance money which he carried in
the Woodmen o( the World order in
Branton favor. On the other hand,
Kranton said that Fletcher fired the shot
in an attempt to commit suicide, be-rau-e

NATIONAL GUARD

Portland, June 24. What promises to
be the most realistic sham battle in the 1
annals of mimic warfare is scheduled to j
Uke place at the Lewis and Clark Ex- j
position luly 21, constituting the crown- ;
ing feature of three days of military
inn lieu vers in which at least 1,500
tr -!p ol the Oregon National Guard will j
take part. The battle wili be made j

small arms loaded with blank cartridges
and is expected to prove one of ihe mos
popular of the many features which

until the ciose of the Exposition, Oct

tbe attacking party of blues. The field
artillery will supplement the entrenched
force, while the cavalry will assist the
attacking party, operating from the
rear or leak. The details of the attack

Paris, June 24. For the first time
since the Fashoda incident tbe French
public is in the throes of the war fever.
Whether it will result in anything seri
ous depends on Germany's response to
tbe French note on Morroco, but with
out considering the exact status of the
diplomatic negotiations a considerable
e.ement of the public and press seriously
discuss tbe possibilities of a resort to
arms. Army circles are particularly
active, and at the military clubs the of
ficers are mainly engaged in making
comparisons of the forces of France and
Germany.
The official view is that the situation,
while delicate, does not present any as
pect cf danger or a crisis involving a
rupture of relations. This is the govern
mental view, and naturally presents the
most favorable aspect of the controversy.
However, tbe Ambassadors of the lead
ing powers express impartial opinions
fully sustaining tbe view of the govern
ment building.
