He was appointed to West Point later, grad iialinn in 1904, He then went into ac tive service in the army. He waa the son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel D. Adair and in a letter Jatcly received by his family, lie wrote that he was on scout duty. It was in this work, evidently, that he met bis death, Ilia father it seriously ill in a Portland hospital. o D. W. Riiiubaiigh went to Salem this .morning, ' .

Considerable stealing from clothes lines ii reported in different parts of 'the city, which should tuggest care in leaving things on lino nights. A special cine is reported, which on account of its havinir been settled satisfactorily the names of the par ties will be omitted. Among other things a sport coat was stolen from a line on Second street, at the home of Mrs. Reed, where an employe of one of the telephone companies was hoarding. On the back of the coal were two or three little spots nude while being washed, which wouldn't come out. With this fact as a clue, the police got busy, and Chief Catliu wn. soon Insiiectiinr snort coats ueil- erully, in fact became a regular in siieeior. He toon found the coat look ed for, spots on the back exactly cor responding to tlioe of the lost coat. The woman wat -apprehended, the ownership proven, and the matter set tled hy full payment being made. o AMERICAN FIGHTING SPIRIT STILL OBTAINS IN PLENTY No Paucity of Men For Service If Their Need Is to Be An Actaul One. That Fifth company, C. A. C, will be ready to the man to go to Mexico when the call comes wat evidenced in two emphatic ways yesterday. Two men came from distances to join their company. One named Stunncnbcrg came from McClcary, Washington, and Reuben Thomas walked throuh the mountains from King's Valley, ar riving here last night and sleeping in the armory. The walk was a strenu ous one. but will put Thomas in train ing sooner than bis comrades will he. Captain Knox docs not expect to he called for a few dayt yet, but feels urc that his men will be required' for service. Four new companies of Coast Vtillcry have been authorized for Oregon. Their location hat not been rained yet. The little flurry with Mexico il lustrates the spirit" of this country and serves to show that in a crisis the men of the nation will be on hand. While untrained and not prepared or equipped as well as the soldiers of the European nations, they arc, never theless fully as patriotic and ready for :ny sacrifice. -Several hoyi from Albany have en listed in the Corvallit infantry com pany, which had a hard time to gel enough nicuihcrt to hold together and keep from being disbanded. At Salem hen the call came for more men the company wat rccruitcii to inn strength ill a few hours. Over 20 boys from Salem high school joined the colors and several more from Willam ette University enlisted. While it is still in doubt about de claring war on Cnrrania the apirit seems to be to prepare, and there seems to be plenty of reason to believe that there will be active service. In case, of actual declaration of war there will be another big rush for en listment, for there arc thousands of Spanish war veterans like the one who said that he was in no mood to enlist to go to the Mexican border and drill in the hot sun, for he had been through that; hut was aching for a chance to get into actual service, and if the opportunity offered be would be the first in his town to vol unteer, . Hataey a Stock Shipper. That Halacy is onc of the best siock snipping centers oi urcgon is shown by the figures of the railroad companies. linker led the last year with 186 car loada of stock to Port land.

FOREVER CRUSHED BEFORE PEACE Must Be German Militarism, Declares the Russian Minister of War. HE MAKES EXCLUSIVE STATEMENT TO U. P. He Insists That Germany's Power Is Waning and That Hie Allies Must Wn. Hy William Phillips Simms. (Copyrighted by U. P.) Pctrugrad, June 22. Peace inutl come only when the Allied toil is swept clean of-the enemy, and Prus sian militarism it forever crushed, S. I). Sazonoff. the Russian minister of foreign affairs told the United Press in an exclusive interview today. Sa zonoff, who lias just returned froin the Russian front "id: "Germany set upon us without warning:. Now, hav ing signally failed to brat F.uropc in to submission, and finding the intend ed victims getting the upper hand, i' covers its face with the mask of piety and endeavors to throw upon the al lies the blame fot making war. Such procedure it an open ifvowal of her weakness, an attempt to hide her own unenviable situation, a fact which we believe the world will soon realize if it docs not already. Peace talk now s doubly futile. Germany assuredly hat not won the war. Hence she is not in a position to tay anything. We cannot say yet we are victors, so peace suggestions are unfriendly to ut. Germany's power it clearly wan ing. Strength of the Allies is increas ing and the war can end but one way. That's when the allied territory is swept clean of the enemy, and our every demand admitted." MONTHLY SALESDAY WILL HAVE A GOOD CROWD It Has Become an Ascuraoce of Good Weather With Smiles.

PHILOMATH PLEASES ' WITH WILD WEST Over 3,000 See "Buffalo" ' Vernon and Other Sty in Action Thursday. Promptly at 1:30 yesterday after noon the Philomath Round-up band entered the arena and headed the grand march of cowboys, cowgirls and Indians around the track in the open ing of the second annual Cowman's Carnival and Round-Up to be held at Philomath. The crowd conservatively numbered between 3,000 and 4,000 people, some guessed higher, and was at enthusiastic an aggregation at ever watched a wild west .'how. And they saw a real (how, too. Nowhere in the West it a better exhibition of wild horse roping and riding, tteer bull dogging, trick and fancy riding, etc. There were over 50 entrants in, yes terday's events and consisted of the best ver seen any place. Principal among the performers was "Buffalo" Vernon, world's cham pion steer bull-doggt-r, and this husky piece of humanity' easily lived up to hit reputation. Vernon was the center of attraction and in all departments of the show. His trick roping and rope spinning wat very clever. He roped and hog-tied his steer in 31 secondt. He hull-dogged his steer in 52 1-2 seconds, wining both events. He was also active throughout the afternoon. lassoing escaped wild horses and helping oil over the arena. His use of the lariat was a marvel and the case with which he threw the noose over swiftly running horses and brought them to bay was a revelation to the greater part of the tender-foot crowd that saw the exhibition.

To Mr. Schmitt an interesting feature of the visit was a reunion at the home of his folks, the sons all being home for the occasion. They were in Chica go and most of the middle west states. The observations of Mr. Schmitt -were that conditions there were much the same as. here. The corn crop, the maui stay of the mid dle states was a bad one last year, and this year the indications are for another poor crop, materially affect ing conditions, where the factory docs not predominate, as corn is king there. The call for money from the country sections, on the big Chicago hanks, indicated the situation. Along the Atlantic coast, wherever factor ies ruled, there was a decided im provement. - . 1 The spirit seemed to "be among merchants to use care in buying, as the -belief prevailed that when the Kiiropcan war ends there is bound to he a big readjustment in commercial affairs, with prospects of prices dropping- ' Mr. Schmitt, like all Albanians who take eastern trips, was pleased to be hack in the Huh City again,, looking after his business affairs. While gone, Mr. Schmitt declares, he never saw a city, near the size of Albany, that compaerd with it for neatness and high-class hotels. It is far ahead of middle eastern towns of this class, and one needs only to KO nway- to he pleased with this city. MILITIA TOGO TO AT E The Oregon Company Will Be One of the First to Make the Trip.
