5. Drills and more drills have been
the order of the day in the encamp
ment and Joint maneuvers being
ttaiA anA In xrhlch Cnmnnnv L
la participating with the remainder las
of the Third regiment. From 5
o'clock until sunset there Is a "con
tinual round of pleasure" for all.
But thus far the work In the field
has not been severe and the men have
suffered little. Sore shoulders from
the guns and sore feet from march
ing are the only complaints.
Today the company borrowed a
shoemaker's kit from Captain Mur
phy's company of Salem, and most
of the men fitted their shoes with
hob tacks, which makes "hiking"
much easier.
For the officers there are but few
moments of leisure. At Intervals be
tween drills following mess, the of
ficers assemble for instruction under
Capt Game a most competent regu
lar assigned to the Third, or else
they listen to lectures on various sug
Jeets by other regular officers. Last
evening the subject was the signal I
9rps and Its work.
Being directly under the eye of reg
ular officers, the work this year Is
being done as nearly by regulations
ac possible. The Instruction 19 prov-'
lng highly beneficial to all and rapid
Improvement is already noticed.

OF LIFE AT lNSTUTUOX.
Ideal IJfo for OKI Soldier at Gov
ernment Home in Sunny OUlfornln
I'nclo Sam Takes Good Ou-f of
Men Who Suffered and IUed fi
the Starry 'Banner.
Martin Compton, the G. A. R. vet
eran of this city who has been at tho
Soldiers' Home near Los Angelas for
the rnst year, has told the East Ore
gonlan a story of that government In
stitution which will at least Interest
the large number of G. A. R. readers
of the paper, and It Is cheerfully told
here for their benefit.
The Soldiers' Home Is located near
the coast, 12 miles from Los Angeles,
and consists of 900 acres of land and
several hundred buildings, including
mess rooms, hospital, living rooms,
laundries, reading rooms, store
houses, commissaries and other ne
cessities of such a big Institution.
There are on an average of about
4000 soldiers at the home all the
time, and there Is absolutely no cost
to them for anything. They are free
to come and go when they like, as
often as they like and at any time
they like. The only attention paid
to their movements is mai n
one Is absent more than a day with
out the knowledge of the officials in
charge, a search Is made to ascertain
where the missing man Is and to see
that nothing has happened to him.
There are about 1000 attendants
In' all the departments, and It la an
Ideal home for the decrepit old vet
erans who desire to go there. They
have all the conveniences and com
forts that money can supply. They
are free to enjoy life as they see fit,
and thousands of them make It their
home.
It requires 400 dozen eggs for one
meal. About 60 beeves are consum
ed each day. Thousands of tohs of
fruit and vegetables are produced
on the grounds, but with, all of this
enormous production the govern
ment spends hundreds of thousands
of dollars each year for Its mainte'
nance.
The old soldiers are paid for every
hour's work any of them do. They
are not required to perform any kind
of labor, but many of them choose to
be employed and so receive regular
wages.
Mr. Compton says that many of the
old boys leave the home when they
draw their pension money and stay
until it Is eone. and then return to
be an inmate until the next pension
time. The number of Inmates there
fore fluctuates greatly. But the gen
eral average Is 4000 men.
Dive to Ocean's Bottom for Drinking
Waer.
Bahrein Island, In the Persian gulf,
Is said to be the hottest place on
the globe, far hotter than Tophet.
The temperature Is about 141 degrees,
On the coast, where the people live,
there Is no fresh water, but here and
there In the harbor's bottom are
strong, free-flowing streams of pur
est water, rivaling that which flows
down the sides of the moutalns of
Lebanon, flavored by the sap of heal
thy cedars. Divers equip themselves
with bags made of klns and descend
to the springs, where they fill the In
verted receptacles with aqua pura.
This water Is cold enough to drink
without the aid of Ice, of which the
islanders know nothing. New York

Schooner Defender Arrives From
Honolulu With Crew of f Various
Faith.
Urging the Kanakas to throw off
the yoke of oppression, Henri Huhr,
able seaman of the schooner Defend
er which Is In this port, put In his
spare hours In the Hawaiian Islands
preaching , anarchy, says a report
from San Francisco. The vessel was
lying In Honolpu, near Honolulu,
loading Its cargo, and the sailor de
livered Impassioned addresses to the
natives.
When the rollce of Honolulu heard
of the agitator they made arrange
ments to have him arrested and de
ported, but the vessel left before they
j could get him.
The vessel was singularly unfortu
nate with the crew during the voy
age, and the master, Captain Hellln.
ger, was obliged to do a great part
of the work himself owing to the
laziness and worthlcssness of some of
his crew. Among the men was one
named L. M. Gamier, who was a so
ciallst and divided his time on the
trip' in expounding socialism and lying
It, his bunk feigning illness to escape
work.
Another member of the crew waa
un ardent Christian Scientist, who ap
plied the ubsent treatment to every
thing, Including his work. The cook
was a religious zealot who gave out
tracts to the crew and read the
Scripture to any one with whom he
could get a hearing.
