rhvslcal condition. There was one rase
of "measles, hut aside from that there
was no sickness during tho encamp
ment. . . .
"Saturday night the hoys 'i" 'ald
off and given absolute liberty. 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

If. w. bgan with ordinary drills and J

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."

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.
'I'he tests 'are being conducted at
Fourth and Market streets and are ex

days.

COUNTY COUKT
TO L'EMAIN INTACT
Although two members of the county
court have recently talked of resign
ing, it now seems ilkely thnt the pres
ent membership will remain unbroken,
at least until next spring. County
Judge Webster is still undecided as to
whether he will give up his post to go
Into the good roads work, but Commis
sioner F. C. Harnes said this morning
that he has definitely decided that he
will not resign for the present. Tie
will remain a commissioner until
spring, at least. Ho thought of resign
ing because of the demands of his busi
ness on his time, but has arranged to
stay in office through the coming winter.

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. The i miHtc i seeking for a
place to locate the tower If one is purchased.

Six months ago the Commercial club

cumstances. Manager Uiclinrdson decid
ed that Milan would do better by stay
ing in Tb't Springs and w rote him. say
ing: "Stay at home. Vr.u have friends.
They lircve a money value "
Yestenlav the club received a paper
from Hot Springs gbyVfig le result of
tie primaries there, and stating that

to win tho county Judgeship. The pa
