Hilda Brant, one of The Journal's
contest workers who haa been over the
valley around, finds that the students
1 as a whole are working faithfully to
win scholarships. She writes:

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.
