S. Jackson were the speakers at the regular weekly .luncheon of the Portland Transportation Iclub at thelmperial hotel today. They iwere introduced by H. E. Lounsbury, general freight agent of tho O.-W. R. & N. company. Mr. Kerr touched on the Panama canal question and held that to make a distinction In tolls between American and foreign vessels would be In violation of existing treaties. He Intimated that the great.' majority of the people clamoring for free tolls are doing so without having any knowledge f these treaties: Mr. Jackson gave to the members of me ciuo number of terse epigrams. saying among other things that tho men of Initiative are the high lights of intelligence. "Agitation Is a great purifier," Mr. Jackson explained, "and the agitator performs a great public good If not always good for himself." "One man can't agitate alone," he con tinued, "and agitation comes from asso ciation. Association Is progress; with out association there would be a disas trous standstill." Mr. Jackson said he hoped that some day transportation would be free to master Charles B. Merrick, and indorsed the movement asking the appointment, of the widow to the official vacancy.

AY OREGON ARTILLERY .PRACTICE A HARD TEST OFALERTNESS Eight Companies Camp at Ft. Stevens for' Instruction In Arti)f'Using BirOimsrDalty Work interesting . Kort Btevens, Or., Aug: 22. Last nlaht eight companies of Oregon troops en camped at Fort Stevens, prepared their owa supper, built campflres and en yed telling tales of many climes with tne regulars. vThls morning at i:45 tha bue'es sounded reveille. Artillery Instructions commenced at 8 o'clock." Most elaborate preparations have boon made by the dis trict commander, Colonel Bteveni. to in sure thoroughness In this respect. A commissioned officer has been assigned to eacn company and experienced de tails act under his supervision as special Instructors. Preparation of food, camp Sanitation. guard duty. etc.. are under similar in structors. This morning stxwlal attention wen devoted to the operation of lu inch ri fles. Blx hundred and fifty pound Dro- Jectlles were loaded, together with pro pelling enargos of 125 pounds of pow der In Intervals of time not exceeding 10 seconds. Boms of the men were taught to operate the Warren A Swasoy position finder, an Instrument that is so arranged that by means of It one can not only tell the exact anglo at which a target Is from the guns, but which also gives, with most marvelous accuracy, the exact distance to the target, in yards. The guns are operated by electric appliances, 30 tons of metal being shift ed about by the mere touch of an elec tric switchboard. Their action Is so quick and precise that they appear al most lifelike. A shell is rammed into the gun, the breechlock is swung Into place, the gun jumps Into the air, seems to poise Itself a second, then Is fifed. During drill the guns ae retracted by electrical appliances, but in actual prac tice the terrlfio shock of discharge forces them back to their origtnar load ing position. i Considerable, time is being devoted to telephone instruction. The Oregonlans are taught to speak low and distinct. As a test of their mental alertness they are given a series of numbers to re peat. As simple as this experiment may seem, It Is rendered nevertheless very difficult by the noise and con fusion of a battery In operation. Only very small percentages of any company, regular or volunteer, possess the requisite qualifications to make good telephone operators. Considerable attention was devoted to the rang "Imard, an instrument by which the algebraic result of a series of problems involving effect of tha tide, wind, temperature, powder veyl loclty, etc., are obtained In less thanH) I seconds Dy automatic caiculatlon- A most thorough explanation was of fered pertaining to the platting board, a deWe by which the field of fire or harbor ia reproduced in miniature on a small board. By means of this sys tem a target Is followed up as It ap- proacnes tne roruncaiions, its every turn and move noted, its exact speed ascertained, the distance It Is from the guns and consequently the angle at which they must be pointed In order to obtain tt hit. - Sally Program Arranged. Artillery Instructions lasted three hours and will be continued dally until such pVoftclency Is obtained as will en able Oregon troops to actually fire at a moving target towed by a rapid steamer. The necessity for careful and accurate work Is rendered obvious when one considers the fact that an error of about one degree would result in the complete demolition of the towing boat rather than the target. This unfortu nate accident actually occurred during target practice at one of the sound forts near Seattle.. The afternoon wan given up to in fantry maneuvers. The troops engaged In an elaborate parade ceremony lead by the Oregon Artillery band. Tomor row other phases of artillery instruc tions are planned. A most pleasing fea ture of the encampment 1b the cordial relations that exist between the volun teers and regulars. MARSHAL SCOTT TAKES HIS OATH OF OFFICE Leslie M.

He immediately reappointed the deputies who have been under him during the past year. The fact that there has been no mar shal until now, and that his bond is still en route to Washington, D.
