A large colony of Russians arrived in
Colfax Wednesday. They left their
native land March 18. They are deligh
ted with the appearence of the county

which was covered with four feet of snow,
and the weather was intensely cold when
they left. They will settle in Whitman
county and engage in farming.
In Yamhill county, says the Newberg
Graphic, a finer prospect ior a big wheat
crop has ntver been seen at this tune in
the season. There is scarcely a poor
piece of full-sown wheat iu the country,
and tho acreage is unusually largo. The
weather has been fine for spring sowing,
and farmers have been improving tho
time. It looks as if tho farmers will bo
able to make a clean-up this fall that will
put thorn on their feet and leave them
with money to spare.

ARMY REGULATIONS TOO SEVERE
Ottlcvm nutlIen Dlnappolnted at Num
ber 1'nMlng; Muster Nothing lleuril
From Couipauy O.
While the ofiiccrs and men of the Nat
tlonal Guard expected to be subjected to
a severe physical examination before
muster, the result of tho first day's work
of the United States examining surgeon
and mustering officer was a disagreeable
surprise to all of them. Fully 40 per
cent of the men examined Thursday
failed to pass muster, most of them be
cause, they weighed oo much or too
little in proportion to their stature.
Thirty men were rejected from Captain
Heath's crack company from McMinn
vilie. Company A, of Portland, suffered
a like fato. Not a jot or tittle was abat'
ed from tho strict letter of tho army reg
ulations, and when tho labors of the ex-
amining officers are completed there
promises to be little more left of the
First regiment ot Ocegon volunteers than
was left of the Light Brigade after the
charge of Balaklnva.
It wad clearly evident before tho ex
amination hud proceeded very far that
the officers of the Guard were dissatis
fied. When strapping young fellows
with iron constitution and muscles like
blacksmiths were refused because they
failed to weigh enough pounds to the
foot, there was a general expression
that the regulations for tho standing
army in time of peace were n little too
stringent for volunteers, many of whom
had left lucrative positions to fight for
their country.
Captain Kendall, however, was firm in
adhering to the regulations, and finally
Governor Lord, who was at the camp
all day, became impatient and wired to
the adjutant-general to ask that the reg
ulations be somewhat modified if pos
sible.
It was a very unhappy crowd of vol
unteers who filed back to their company
tents after the fatal sentence "rejected"
had blighted their hopes of serving their
country.
A few of them left camp and went to
their homes, hut the great majority
remained about their company head
quarters in the hope that some modifi
cation of the rigorous physical require
ments would yet givo them an opportu
nity to enlist.
It soon became noised about camp
that a heavy reduction was being made
in the reciment, and men began to fear
the examination as a schoolboy fears an
encounter with his tencher when kept
after school. The result of each succes
sive examination proved that these fears
were well grounded, but there was noth
ing for it but to take their medicine like
men, and they proved that they were
men by doing so with the best grace
possible under the circumstances.
As yet we have not heard the result of
the examination of our boys in Co. G.
There is one thing certain, however, and
that is that the treatment they received
since they left The Dalles was exceed
ingly shabby.
So far there has not been a single com
mission granted to anyone in this com
pany, and the other companies of the
3rd Battalion met with about the same
treatment.
Much comment is made also concern
ing the flag presented to the boys by the
Elks. This flag belonged to Co. G, and
not to the United States government,
and if this company is broken up and
new officers put over our boys after the
rightful officers have been rejected or
given positions as privates or non-commissioned
officers, the flag should be
taken back. When the flag was pre
sented it was given to Co. G as a sou
venir or remembrance of the Dalles Elks
and friends at home, and to allow such a
token to be given to a company consist
ing principally of strangers and com
manded by men that are also strangers,
is certainly wrong. '

Another Letter From Snperintendant
Urmtbjr on This Important Subject.
Yesterday Fred W. Wilson secretary
of the Oregon Wool Growers' Associa
tion, received a letter which wo publish
in full and trust that It will be of in
terest to Eastern Oregon sheep raisers.
The tract and the boundaries of which
are given on the last lines of Mr. Orms
bys letter refer to the closed area and
means tho land where no sheep can be
pastured around Mt. Hood and has been
determined by the department of the
interior. We are at a loss to determiue
tbe'exact date when sheepmen can cross
the line going in, as opinions differ so
much from June 15th to July 1st. It is
understood, however, that on account of
the dry weather tbey should be permit
ted to go in earlier than they otherwise
would. The following is Mr. Ormsby's
letter:
Salem, Or., May 0, 1898.
Fred W. Wilson? Sec' '1 Eastern Oregon
Wool Growers' Association,
The Dalles, Oregon.
Dear Sir: Aiecent order from the
general land office directs that all per
sons aesiring to pasture sneep on the
Cascade range forest reserve will make
application to me stating, 1st, owner's
name and postnffice address, 2nd, num
ber of sheep, 3d, number of bands, and
4th, location of range. It is desired that
the applicant state also whether the lo
cation selected has been previously oc
cupied by him or is a new location. A
strict observance of the rules and regu
lations governing forest reserves will be
required. No grazing will be allowed
north of the Barlow road and west of the
summit of tho divide or eaat of tho east
fork of Hood River.

TODAY'S EXCURSION.
It Will Take at Least Thirty Conches to
Carry nil Time at Which the
Trains Will Arrive.
The excursion from Portland which
will be held today under the auspices of
the Red Men, or rather under the
auspices of the Minnehaha association,
will certainly be a magnificent ollair,
and we can feel disappointed if there are
less than 3000 guests with us today.
The excursion train will run in three
divisions and make short stops at points
of interest along the route.
The excursion of laBt year was a de
cided success in every regard and for
that reason wo believe that more people
will attend this excursion and that it
Rsyal askes tfc to4 part,
wholesons and delicious.

will be as great if not greater success
than the last.
On the last occasion of the kind the
excursionists must have been favorably
impressed with onr-city, else this one
would be to some other place. For this
reason we may well feel flattered.
The divisions will consist of at least
ten coaches each, and the first vill leave
Portland about 7:30 and arrive in The
Dalles at 11 :30; the second will arrlvuat
12, while the third will pull in about
one-half hour later. The excursionists
will be with us for six hours and we
hope that the treatment they receive
be such that they will return with worda
of praise for our city and its hospitable
people.
Tho Pacific Circle,- Women of Wood
craft, is forging to the front. Note this:
During tho time between April 4th and
May 2d, tho grand clerk at Leadylllo,
Colorado, registered the' names of 509
benefit members. Tho Pacific Circle
now pays tho amount of $2000 on one as
sessment. There will soon be eight or
nine $100 monuments erected to the
memory of deceased benefit members.
The last fraternal insurance policy of
$2000 was paid by the Circle within five
days alter the proof of death had been
handed to the grand clerk. The Circle
has no sinking or reserve funds except
the reserve of neighborly love and acts
of kindness and friendship, for its mem
bership. It knows no cliques nor creeds,
but is trnly n good order for the poor
woman who desires to leave a legacy, at
the time of her death, to those she loves.
Any Woodman who wants additional
insuranco should cull on Cedar Circle,
The Dalles, Oregon.
