about the postoffice waiting for letters

graphic description of life at Camp
McKinley and the Presidio, also of the
trip across to Honolulu. He notes
grand reception given the American
troops by theHawaiians, and says they
are a whole souled, generous people.
A letter from Ed Lemison to his
mother tells of the trip across from
San Francisco to Honolulu and the
reception tendored the soldiers by the'

Major Clem Would Enlist.
Any of the old timers who may have
happened into the Umatilla house last
evening would have noticed in the
uniform of a U. S. major, a gentleman
who In size at least must have remin
ded them of little Phil Sheridan, as be
appeared here 40 years ago. The gen
tleman who was the guest of the Uma
tilla House last evening is known in
history as "Johnny Clem," the drum
mer boy of Cbicamagua, but now as
Jobn L. Clem, major and quartermas
ter, U. S. A., depot quartermaster at
Portland.
The major, with his wife and son,
Sargent Clem, came up on the 5:20
train and returned on the Sarah Dixon
this morning. Major Clem Is anxious
to be sent to the front, but not on staff
duty, and has made application for a
command in thn held at the earliest
convenience of the department, though
so far his application has not met with
success.

University of
Coming;.
The Berkeley male quartet of the
University of California, will give ah
entertainment in the Vogt opera
house on Wednesday July 6th. The
quartet will be assisted by a large
number of specialty artists, and the
entertainment promises to be a pleas
ant relief from the stereotyped drama
or concert.
College songs and rpllickng college
music of banjo and mandolin will hold
sway. The Berkeley boys' perform
ances are always full of life and humor,
and yet their numbers are always per
formed with the skill of professional
musicians. " 1
It will be a real treat to hear the
mandolin and banjo played well. Male
quartets art always popular if good,
and of all the quartets on the coast,
none have met with, more unanimous
success than has the Berkeley four.
The company offers an additional at
traction in C. B. Newton, the great
character delineator. Charles E. Par
cells, the violin virtuoso, will assist in
the concert and should proye a draw
ing card.
"Brick" Morse, the funny man of
the university, will sing a high tenor
solo. i .
On this, their first visit to The

The contest for the circuit judgeship
in the third district has caused a dis.
graceful scandal. Two prominent at
torneys have been arrested, and the
clerk of Marion county has gone into
hiding. The outcome will probably
be that some men prominent in the
state will either get into the pen or
escape by accident.

Inportant ts. Subscribers.
' On account of an increase in the
price of paper owing to the war tax

Having bought a large stock of paper
before prices advanced, we will not in
crease the subscription until Septem
ber 1, 1898, but after that date the
subscription will be advanced to $2.00

opportunity to renew their subscript

Kotes From Honolulu.
From the Hawaiian Gazette and the
Commercial Advertiser we clip the
the following, which plainly goes to
show how much our boys are thought
of by the residents of the "Paradise of
the Pacific.
The Oregon boys say that they
siall never forget the hospitality
accorded them by the Oregonlans in
the city. -
"We're going to change the spelling
of Manila," said a waggish little
boy in blue. "We'll kuock Tout of
it."
The Oregon boys in town certainly
pave the soldiers from their native
state a hearty welcome. Ed. Dekum
was in the front rank.
A register of all the Oregonians is
open at Ned Adams' office at the
Hawaiian Cyclery. A report will be
sent back to Oregon by the next mail.
Mr. Pearson treated all comers to the
use of bicycles.
The people along the wharves were
jostling each other, in all direction,
for a place from which to better view
the arrival in nort of the transports,
Conspicuous here and there were men
and women with umbrellas upon which
was the word, Oregon. The California
people were to be found by their phouts.
Said a resident of Oregon yesterday
"Portland and ban Drancisco were
patriotic but Honolulu takes the cake."
So far as can be learned Honolulu
still contains four of the- Philippine
expedition. One man of the first Cali
fornia regiment was discharged on ac
count of general debility. One man
of the Oregon regiment is in quaran
