In a, remote and Isolated clearing In
the deep forest neaa- Currlnsvllle, on
the O. W, P. Kstacada line, Japanese
soldier have been assembling, every
Sunday for several' weeks and practic

So, now it ia a veritable pasture, a

perhaps from the station of Currlns
vllle, which, by the way, Is not even a
village, merely a stopping place with" a
waiting room where excursionists may
await the arrival of trains.
It is in this isolated but ideal parade
ground that a company of Japanese
soldiers has been aolng through regular
infantry - evolutions and maneuvers for
several weeks. During the week these

clearing to imagine they are once more
on the banks of the Yalu with. an oppos

Durinc their maneuvers a nortlon of
the Jape are armed with rifles. Others
who have no firearms use sticks as
weapons. They drill as If they were in
the field, under command of the regular
officers of a company of infantry.
Residents of that vicinity are few.
but they have frequently been attracted
on Sunday afternoons by the noise of
the ununlforraed troops. The sharp
commands of the officers, the reports
or voueys or rines attracted their at
tention, but until the last few days
they gave the matter little or no atten
tion. Last Sunday, however, a large num
ber of Portland people went out the
O. W. P. line to seek a quiet place to
spend the day. Many selected the neigh
borhood of Currlnsvllle and In the af
ternoon had an opportunity to observe
the drills of the Japanese laborer-soldiers.
They also thought little of it at
first, but after It had continued for
several hours they watched, the actions

Those who witnessed the actions of
the Jaon declare that the little brown
men were undoubtedly going through
skirmish tactics and that they contin
ued at their occupation all the after
noon. Late In the afternoon many of
the Portland people who had seen the
practice met at the Currlnsvllle station
and agreed that the Japs were practic
ing their infantry tactics. No one made
a thorough examination or went close
enous-h to the Japs to scrutinize their
actions studiously.
There are hundreds or Jananesa em
ployed at the various logging camps In
that vicinity and In the construction
gangs of the Oregon Water Power &
Railway company. Many are recent ar
rivals and are veterans of the Russo
Japanese war. They still retain their
connection with the Japanese army, 'for
all Japanese are subject at any time
to an order to report for duty.

FROM TILLAMOOK
Inquiries Being Carried On
With View to Building
j Automobile Road.
Inquiries are being carried on with a
view to pushing the movement to build
an automobile road from Portland to
the sea beach at some point in Tilla
mook county, probably at Tillamook
City. 8. G. Reid, president of the Port
land chamber of commerce, and mem
bers of the Portland Automobile club j
are back of the project, and are recelv
lng warm support from Tllfamook cltt-
aens.
R. W. Watson of Tillamook believes
the idea is a very valuable and practical
one, and has offered to assist by sub-
Bcnpuun ana in other ways. He says
many others in Tillamook county will
subscribe and lend all possible assist
ance. Regarding the feasible routes he
said, in reply to a letter from E. C.
Olltner, secretary of the Portland cham
ber of commerce:
"The Wilson Rivet route Is exactly
57 miles from Forest Grove to Tilla
mook, and in the neighborhood of 40
miles from Forest Grove to Portland,
which makes it 97 milea from Portland
to Tillamook Instead of 67 to 65 miles,
as stated In your letter. It la S8 milea
from Portland to Tillamook ae the crow
flies.
"The summit or the Coast range on
the Wilson river is in the neignDornooa
of 3.000 feet above sea level. The first
five miles from Gales City to the top of
the steep climb is a rise of 1,600 feet,
and this elevation cannot to my knowl
edge be lowered unless another route
and pass Is found, but this would neces
sitate another road, and perhaps an In
crease of distance.
The southern route from Portland to
Tillamook via Sheridan and Dolph, la
exactly 113 miles, and the Increased dls
tanca is easllr made up as against the
poor road on the 7 mile route via the
Wilson river. The Wilson river route

on the Sheridan route the roads drv out

roaa. , . . ...... j -
Mr. Watson added that he wouMlanit
assistance to the building of either road
that should be selected after they were
viewed by a man competent to Judge and
select the best route. He said consider
able assistance could be secured In Til
lamook county by subscriptions of cash
and work.; The roaa could be improved
so that the automobile triTv vmM ha
