' Wagon trains of supplies are being hauled from the commissary headquar ters here to Gate City, where the first engagement between the ' two armies will probably take place Monday. Tomorrow will be spent in instruct ing the troops regarding outpost and reconnoltering. Both armies are re ported to be sending out 'scouting parties, rapturing roads, .telegraph and telephone lines, stores and strategic; points. During the maneuvers the use of all railroad and electric lines or any other transpbrtation already prescribed Is forbidden, except for regular supply of troops and transportation of sick and wounded. It would bs inconsistent to transmit information by commercial telegraph or telephone lilies, which would be im possible In time of real war, so their Use has been forbidden. Montesano, Wash., July 20. The Ore gon National Guard, about BOO strong, arrived at Colonel Kennon's camp at Montesano this afternoon with the men all In good condition. They will remain in camp over Sunday, they expect, and will probably be moved early on Mon day to a point nearer the Coast range ; divide, where late Monday or early Tuesday they will come into conflict with the army of defense now encamped at Centralis.

As a result of electrical storms through the foot- hills district of the valley, 12 forest ! fires have been reported throughout ; the county. The storms have been general for the past two days and the firo district extends to every corner of the county. Nine of the fires are reported under control and men are massing to the other points and will, according to the forestry officials, have extinguished these within the next 24 hours. Heavy rains which accompanied the storms paralysed the phone servlees in the mountain districts and the streams are swollen nearly as much as immedi ately following the spring thaw.

''" .Seattle, Wash., July 30, "I realise that this la a serious matter for Port land, but if ths people of Portland can only arrange to ears tot the- t raffle to ths Orient for the next nine or 13 months I have not the least doubt that I can at . the explratiton of that time arrange a regular fleet of large steam ers which will give the Columbia river regular and satisfactory service to the Orients This was the statement tonight of Frank Waterhouse to The Journal cor respondent when asked as to the out come of negotiations for continuance of steamship service between Portland, Japan and China. While refusing to so state, the Inference might be drawn from his remarks that he was of the opinion that the question of maintain ing ths service does not rest entirely on the shoulders of the O.-W. R. & N. company, "Iu my opinion it is up to the people of Portland and the Port, of Portland to take .care of the situation in the meantime,' he continued. "As I already said, if the matter can only be tided over for not moxfi than a year I can furnish ths necessary steamships. I have had offers from two of the larg est and best steamship companies in the world who are ready to give us tonnage Just as soon as it Is possible to get it. However, these fleets are at present tied up and oannot be released immediately. These companies I men tion were decidedly interested in the Portland problem and I know they will give us boats within a year or Just as soon as existing charters have ex pired. That Is why it is necessary for the trade to be cared for in the mean time. "I think the port of Portland ought to assume the burden at this time, for it is a momentous question for Port land, and I realize it. My proposition was that I would furnish service out of Portland during the next twelve months with three steamers for $6500 per month. This was my last offer and it was made yesterday. I have been given to understand that it has been declined und further than this, I can do nothing. Unless something is done by the Port land people the present service will bs discontinued In August, after the steamer Hercules calls. Unless I can get a subsidy such as I asked, it Is ab solutely impossible for me to operate this eervios and meet expenses. Steam ers cannot be chartered at present on j long time fixtures for less than 8 shil lings ana o pence. 1 aireaay nave 01 fered two fleets to Portland, but the tenders were declined. If Portland can not take the risk I cannot afford to face the great loss which surely would follow under present conditions. "I realise that this is a heavy blow to Portland, but I have done my best and cannot do mors unless the ship pers, the port of Portland and the peo ple of Portland take it up." Personally Mr. Waterhouse Is iisap- pointed that arrangements have not been made to continue ihe service from -fortiand. He bas always been a pion eer in steamship field and with his close connections with big shipping firms in London, he is in better posi tion than any other man. on this coast of geVvessels. Mr. Waterhouse refused to comment on Mr. Miller's statement, but what he said practically confirms the railroad man's assertion that present high . charters make it Impos sibls to get ships at a rate that will make them profitable freights to the Orient. under present IS E. ffty till tntenwns'Bil " News Service.? , Baltimore, Md., July -20.

Illl CAPTAIN ALIV MARINER Life of Labor Leader Full of Hardships and Tinged With Pathos and Romance Few men can, at the age of 42 years, like John Mitchell, the labor leader, look back over as brilliant a record of achievement in tho face of stupendous odds. The story of his rise from "trap per boy" in a coal mine to second vice president' of the American Federation of Labor, was told yesterday by his brother Robert Mitchell, a well to do i .', , vi.n, t.ii. n. . v.v.- day for ths first time in 21 years.

Lawrence, can didate lor the Republican nomination for governor, tkat the- management of the state reformatory at Monroe had been guilty -of gross mismanagement and extravagance, the board of ormnag ers today Issued a statement m which It was charged that Lawrence had de liberately falsified and had continued toakftlal4tem&t nfter Ms attention had been called to the records in the case. The statement roundly scores Lawrence, declaring that his long resi dence at Olympla had familiarized hint with methods of keeping track of ex penditures and all he had to do was go over the ltemixed statements and vouchers. The boards' statement, in part, follows: "First -That the marble and mosaic work cost $2203, whereas there is not an inch of marble or mosale work In the building. 1 "Second That the stone steps cost $2070, whereas there are none, the steps being all of fir wood. "Third That the carpets, etc., for the residence cost $0081, when in truth only $1)91.42 for this item was spent in the entire building. "Fourth- That the furnishing and decorations, . etc, cost $1869, when but $1011.80 was expended for these Items In this building. "Fifth That mahogany furniture cost $810$, when there is I897.7D of such forntture In the entire institution. "The building commonly designated as the superintendent's residence is divid ed Into two separate and distinct parts. One-third of the building Is used for the superintendent as his private residence; the other two-thirds is used for public and administrative purposes. The total cost of furnishing both sections of this entire building was a little less than- $4700. These figures when compared with Mr. Lawrence's statement that these items cost $24,000, show how far he has come from the truth. "The management of the reformatory has to show for $300,000 of the state's money which had been expended at that time, actual, tangible, assets amount Ing to $362,673.41 Thus it will be seen that for the period covered by the bu reau's report, the management of the Institution produced a profit to the state of 62, 678.41 over and above the entire cost of maintenance, officers' salaries and other expenses."
