The enrpa Is doing the work as would be carried on in the field in actual warfare and no com munication will be carried on with out side stations. The instruments are set up In the main parade ground. They expect to use them at a distance of a mile apart, one being at each extrem ity of the camp. The entire outfit is compact and so arranged that It can be transported on the backs of three mules. Banning tines After Taps. The men are being coached In many arts of warfare. They are held In readiness at all times and expect mo mentarily to be called out by the call to arms. The work carried on now Is thorough and practical and the men will doubtless gain more on this short tour of duty than they would bv several running' work in the armories. Manv of the men have been taking advantage of the good ar service, avail ing themselves of the opportunitlea to go to Tacoma and Seattle. After taps. 10 o'clock, several nartles have found difficulty In running the lines and the schemes worked to get Into camp are original and amusing tn say the least. Camp Drills. Tuesday was spent In drilling on the level plain just east of the Third Ore gon's camp. The men left at 8 o'clock In the morning In light marching order. The forenoon was spent in battalion drill an1 the showing was a source of pleas ure to the commanding officers. Despite the fact that the Oregon troops have not held battalion drill for two vears, the work passed off smoothly nnd the men entered into It with a vim and snap that promises to return them snlendld drilling results. The afternoon was spent In extended orier drills and front and rear guarding. These drills were not as showy and Impressive as the bat talion drill, where the men march shoul der to shoulder. Sklrmlahing1 Maneuvers. The level field was covered with men advancing and retreating, going at a double as skirmishers and deploying to the right and left The entire afternoon was spent In this work. An amusing Incident happened In the afternoon when a corporal and three men were deployed as flankers. Their line of march ex tended Into the timber and when sepa rated from their commands thev be came lost and wandered around several hours berore they found their way back. Wednesday morning was spent In ex tended order drill. The men, though tired from the work of the day before, made a remarkably good showing for the amount of drill they have received. The field work cannot be carried on to any extent in the armories and in addi tion the work was all by battalions. Bad Sight for Jap Spies. The work wa similar to that of the morning before, the men belnar Bcnftt.r.,1 over the field In squads and In skirmish lines. Tne sight of the 1,100 Oregons and the K00 Washlngtona was a very warlike spectacle and had there been any Japanese spies In the vicinity they must have sent back a very discourag ing report to the mikado's ears. The drill was carried on for two hours and the men returned In a tired and sweat ing line. Wednesday afternoon was spent In outpost duty, the men being trained In posting sentries and outposts. The drill was of an open order, the commands being broken Into the squads and in ftructions given for guarding encamp ment against surjylse. All the drills up to this time are leading up to the battles which come at the end of the encampment. Sports Among Boldlara. A number of athletic sports have been planned. Saturday afternoon will be given over to that phase of the soldier life. A schedule of baseball games Is being played off regularly. The league. Include nearly all the commands In tlio camp. Saturday's games will Include besides baseball, swimming and diving contests in the lake and races between soldiers picked from .all the troupa en camped here. Huilding Permits. M. C.
