such problems as provisioning the

Keen Interest Shown in Re

in City Last Night.
Tntrlotlsm is running high in Tort
land today.
When the first news of the presi
dent's call upon the troops of the
states to assemble at the Mexican bor
der was given to the people last night
by The Journal. 25 minutes ahead of
any other newspaper, the long-pent up
feelings of the people burst forth.
Interest, was Intense and Instant. On
every street corner were groups of
people discussing the latest feature of
the 'Mexican situation. Few had real
ized before exactly what the trouble
was all about. They speedily began to
Inform themselves anew.
It became iip.parent at once that
i-ith 1 70' Oregon men held In bivouac
for subse'iuenti service on the Mexican
.border, every civil and industrial ac
tivity of the state would be affected.
Veterans of the Spanish-American
war were not the last to rouse them
selves to interest. Veterans of th.j
'lil war heard the new call to arms
with a new tingling of the blood ami
many expressed regret that the years
linrl o crept over them to palev their
hcdles to unfitness for service again
In defense of the flag.
Not since tie bugln sounded back
in 1S98 for the caliinf? of Oregon's
clans to the Spanish-American war ha
there been pucIi an excitement in Port
land. Throughout the right and morning,
men In khaki were seen hurrying about
the streets, mostly heading for the
Armory.
The Journal's telegraphic service
brought the first news of the presi
dent's calt to Portland. Half an hour
after The Journal's extras wra on
the streets, extras were Issued by a
competing newspaper.

It is probable that this branch ot

General White said this morning
that all details for the provisioning of
the camp have been cared for. The
transportation problem was solved
long ago, cooperation with the rail
roads having been so adjusted that
necessary equipment for transporting
the militia will be supplied at a mo

It appeared this morning as if the

It Is the desire, however, that the com

There are only a few a very

There are, perhaps, still fewer

are many, but analyze them,
and find out.
They are all very old both
jokes and stories. This is not
to say they are not all very

It cannot be doubted that one
of the very oldest of all stories
is that of the person who
espies and appropriates treas

looked. It is also one of the
best, if not the very best of
all. Who does not love It?
The Journal's "Nothing the

Today's installment, to be
