ARTILLERY CORPS LEAVES
FOR CAMP SUNDAY MORNING
All Employers of Men in the
Company Should Voluhteerto
Give Two Weeks Off.
Next Sunday morning Captain K. K.
Knox, with the other officers of Fifth
Company, Coast Artillery Corps, will
entrain for Fort Stevens where they
will begin a two weeks' camp for the
purpose of studying and practicing on
the big guns at the fort at the mouth
of the Columbia. This two weeks' drill
is of extreme importance to the men
of the company, for it is all that they
sec of the forts during the whole year.
I.axt year the company made an cu
viulhc record with the 10-inch riflea
and other pieces of heavy ordnance,.
Handing fourth in the United Stales
in firing the 10-inch guns.
Employers Should Cooperate
Captain Knox states that the com
pany Is now recruited up lo between
90 and 95 members. A few more arc
needed to fill up to complete war
footing. It is desired that every mem
ber attend encampment and get as
much experience handling the fort
armament as possible. Most of the
company it ready to leave, but some
employers are refusing to let men go
with the promise that their jobs will
lie ready fur them when they return.
Some of the company arc afraid to
a-k to get off for fear of loaing their
jobs.
It should he remembered that the
hoys of the local company form a
iniit-trf"thi" inosfmportatu section oi

a foreign foe. It is they who stand
at the font along the coast and guard
again! the approach of the enemy.
They are among the most highly
trained and skilled men in the serv
ice. While much of the work is fig
ured out and done by mathematics,
they, nevertheless require lots of spe
cial training and are much more
technical than the ordinary infantry
or cavalry soldiers. The training that
they get at summer camps is putting
into practice what they have been
studying all winter, and is of Ihc ut
most importance. No employer should
Mainlin the way of men in their pay
going lo the annual camp.
Hut very few employers have un
willingly granted their men the privi
lege of encampments. J. Royal Shaw
manager of Ihc Hammond Lumber
Company, at Mill City, writes Captain
Knox that all the men in the corps in
their employ shall be willingly grant
ed the leave of absence and'have their
jobs on their return. In the ease of
killed men who have been in their
employ for a number of years, they
will grant them full pay while they
are gone. This docs not apply lo
common laborers, which is a floating
class as a rule. Similar reports have
come from other Sources.
Throughout the entire country there
is an awakening to the realization of
the unprepareduess of this country,
and large business men and corpora
tions are aidin gtl.c movement in a
material way. The Fox Film Corpo
ration, employing over 15,000 people,
many of them high-salaried actors and
directors, has offered to keep on the
pay roll at full pay any of their men
who go to Mexico. The Vitagraph
Corporation is doing the same. So
arc many large automobile manufac
turers and the directors of railroads,

POTTERS SAW MILL
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Over $40,000 Loss Results
Near Mill City Last Night
at Mid-night Fire.
Fire breaking out from an unknown
cause last night completely destroyed
the Potter sawmill and shingle fac
tory a mile and a half west of Mill
City. The mill was a total lots, the
building and machinery being entirely
destroyed. Most of the lumber was
burned in the yard, but some portion
of the yard was saved. One S. P. flat
car was burned on the tracks and sev
eral more were hauled out of danger
by the twitch engine, which hurried
down from the Hammond Camps
when the alarm was given. The crews
from tin? Hammond mill at Mill City
assisted in fighting the fire.
The mill employs between 50 and 60
men. The crew working on Ihc night
force making' shingles were having
their midnight, lunch in an adjoining
building, and .sometime between 12
and 1 o'clock Ihe flames were seen to
break out. It is thought that the fire
was started from a hot box in the ma
chinery and tome bits of sawdust
caught, igniting the building.
Heroic work was done in trying to
quench the flames, but to no avail
The lost will exceed $40,000, on which
there was but little insurance.
The mill it an old one, owned by
the Pollers, and has a capacity of
about 65,000 feet of lumber and one
car of 'shingles. It is not known if
the mill will be rebuilt.

HOW TO MEET A GIRL.
John Barrymore Does It His Way in
