There were some fears xpressed as to what the result might he. hut every man re turned to Ills command In good eondl tlpn. I did not fop n single case of drunkenness. Colonel I Ken of the Fourth regiment told me that he did not have to punish one man during tho en campment, and 1 think the other regi mental commanders could make similar statements That is something: more to he proud of It Is something I never heard of before. 'I believe the encampment has heen of Immense benefit to the guard. Some of the officers told me that thev pot more, practical Instruction out of the encampment than they had ever (tot anywhere before." "It was the best encampment we ever had. and the results 'can't heln being beneficial." said Colonel C E. McIonell of the Third recipient when asked his opinion as to the results. 'Fverybodv worked hard. I can't praise too hlghlv the good work done by the officers of the regiment. If it hadn't been for them, we couldn't have accomplished what we did. Thev looked after the men and saw that the mess was always what It should he. "I think our boys made a better show ing than any others who were in camp lit the time. The Washington regiment did Rood work hut they didn't ditll as hard as we did. Wo put in three hours In the morning and three in tho after noon, while thev drilled only an hour and a half In the morning and two hours in the afternoon. Our boys were nil in good physical condition nnd stood the work well In fact, there was hard ly any sickness fluting 'he encamp ment. "The work done by the Oregon regi ments vns highly praised bv (Jener-il Brush of the regular army, who was In command of the encampment. The in struction was excellent and I think we learned more than at nnv other encamp ment we ever had. This time we he rn nl the bottom and worked un. that If. w. bgan with ordinary drills and J did not have, the hlg maneuvers until the last. I wish -you would give the credit for what we accomplished to my officers, for it Is due to them that we did so Wyidl." Special fiates East. On August 21 and 22 the Canadian.

FIRE HV0RAHTS STAND ALL TESTS More than one half of the SI hydrants which the city has had on hand for a year have been tested within the past few days and nearly all pronounced sound When the testing commenced it was found that 11 of tho hydrants had been tested and found satisfactory but no report was ever made on them to Chief Campbell and they have, been al lowed to lie on the street for months while the people have been clamoring for fire protection. Chief Campbell stated yesterday that he would commenco Installing the hy drants immediately and said that sev eial of them would bo placed in north Alblna where the property owners have been more insistent In their demands than, from npy other part of the city.

'ush r the use which Ihct lose was so Mil t.-n 'hat II could no! ho used and lis length was such that It was useless In the fire which piacllcallv destroyed the home of liert Scales loHt Saturday night. No at tempt was niade to use the hose at the Scales fire because It was so far from a hydrant that tho hose w ould not n ai h to the flames. Yesterday's meeting of the fire com mittee furnished somewhat of a.i inno vation in the manner of purchasing l.oso for the citv. and It Is expected that If the committee follows out the ptogiaiu Inaugurated yesterday there will be less talking and squabbling among the hose dealers when they attempt to sell to the Mayor l.ane presented a set of specifi cations which the boni'd adopted and then rejected all bids. Tin- committee then voted to recommend to the ex ecutlve board to advertise for new bids under the specifications This "ill bring the dealers to the meetings with their bids based on a business proposi tion and remove all chances of prefer ment except that based on the quality of hose offered to the city. At the Itlit north end fire several weeks ago Mayor T.ano and Members l'eery and Flelschner were Interested spectators and saw the hose burst, be sides noticing the waste of water through "pinholes" They immediately came to the conclusion that the citv was not getting all that It was entitled to for the money spent and decided to compel the hose dealers to bid on speci fications. Chief Campbell was Instructed to make a test of all hose on hand and see whether It was still within the five year guarantee The city auditor was Instructed to advertise fur bids for. an automobile for the chief nnd a motion was pasn-d asking the city council for authority to spend JT.foU) for a water tower.
