for they are now right at heme.

mounted, -but they are surely meeting
their masters In these sturdy men from
Eastern Oregon. ',
The remount depot is located in the
midst of a grove of trees and. 'is the
most attractive site in Camp. Green.
It cannot be said that the men In the
Oregon-cavalry have never smelt pow
der. The past two . days have been
devoted to blowing out . stumps.. A
number of blasts are set off at once
and the men could realize themselves
following in the wake . of a "barrage
fire." The majority of the troops are
quartered ' In barracks which will - be
much more eeeafortabie la ladement

The Oregon troops are first, of the
brigade, to ; which. they are attached to

and Do small credit Is due them for the
systematic manner In which the busi

A squadron fire department has been
organised and Sergeant Bill Bates -Is
the aeighth of his glory. The per

body is back from a week's leave of
absence. Lieutenant Peabody pre
viously lived in the south and east and
had a very enjoyable, time In renewing
old acquaintances. First . Lieutenant
James F, Cooke acted as adjutant dur
ing; his absence.
General complaint is voiced by the
soldiers on the 25 cent fare charged
each way to the city by those can
ductipg an automobile service. When
they remember the distance traveled in
Portland for a "Jitney," this charge
for a two and one half mile run seems
exorbitant. ; On , aacount of the many
complaints, the fare will likely be
reduced to the very near. future. .
