lleginning with a wheezy saw mill

into hundreds of articles that are in
every day demand by the merchants
)f the trade territory supplied by the
jobbers and manufacturers of Port
land.

ty a dealer in brushes, the Buyers'
Week committee is arranging for any
visiting merchant to inspect any plant
or the manufacture of any article in
which lie is interested, while here from
Vugust 7 to 12, 1916.

ncthod of 'making soap," wrote an-
nhcr. "1 am the largest dealer in

ee it made."

CANADIANS THINK GERMANS
WILL SOON BE THRESHED
Albany Man Impressed With
Sights at . Vancouver and
Other Places in Canada.
J. A. W. Gardiner, who returned
last evening from a trip to Seattle and
Vancouver, B. C, states that business
in these cities it flourishing, and that
in spile of the fact that Canada is at
war orc could hardly tell the differ
ence from the appearance of the
streets. A few soldiers are seen here
and there, a uniformed man on a
crutch, a man with one arm or with
scars on his head, in the crowds, relics
of the German fire on the front in
France, who gave the war touch to
the-country. Recruiting is going on
and soldiers in uniform are to be seen
one place and another. But the report
that there are no young men to be
seen in Canada is false, he says. Out
side of the few evidences at hand one
would hardly realize that the war it
on. Mr. Gardiner saw tome of the sol
diers drill and was impressed with the
thoroughness with which they went
through their Work. It it all business
with them. In panada they think that
Germany will be whipped in a short
time and that there is nothing to the
war from now, on but England and
the allies.

COL C. 0. 6ANTENBEIN
EXPECTS CALL FOR TROOPS
Commander of New Regiment
Confident More Troops Will
Be Called to Mexico.
Captain F. C. Stcllmacher has re
ceived a letter from Col. C. U. Gan-
tenbein, dated July 19, in which the
work done here in organizing a com
pany for the new tentative regiment is
highly commended. In the letter Col.
Gantcnbein states that in spite of the
quietness reigning on the border there
may be a call for more troops any
day, for it is not known what may de
velop in the next week, day or hour.
Officers are requested to refute all
stories of a controversy between Col.
Gantcnbein and Adjutant . General
Geo. A. White. Col. Gantcnbein states
that he started the organization of the
new regiment under an agreement
with Gen. White and allowed him to
designate the date on which enrolling
should begin. He also Mates that it
has been his policy to support the
regiment now at the front in ev-ry
way and encourage any man ?ho
wants active service at once to go to
Clackamas and enlist with the Third
Oregon. The interests of the state are
pur first at all times.
At present we have 1,148 signa
tures for the organization. writes
Col. Gantcnbein. "a sufficient proof
of the widespread confidence in the
undertaking. I am satisfied that in the
event of a call for troops the regi
ment 'would be recruited to war
strength with a rush.
Our slogan is' preparedness. We
fully believe that sooner or later there
will be a call for troops to aid in in
tervening in and pacifying Mexico
When it comes we should be ready."
Captain Stcllmacher is urged to
keep his lineup together until the or
ganization is perfected. The Albany
company is the new regiment and
now numbers about 70 men.
