STAFF CORRESPONDENT
TELLS OF WAR GAME
Seven Companies of Coast Ar
tillery Reserves Receiving
Instruction from Officers.
Fort Stevens, Or., Aug- 21. (Staff
Correspondence.) The special train
bearing nearly five hundred members
of the coast artillery reserves arrived
here at 5 o'clock last evening and the
soldiers went into camp immediately,
the ten is having already been pitched
by a special detail sent here from the
artillery headquarters at Kugene.
Owing to the fact that it was neces
sary to set up the Kitchen apparatus,
it was nearly eight o'clock before the
guardsmen had a chance to cat.
Everyone retired early, the all -day
tri p on the cars having fatigued the
'members of the various companies in
the regiment.
Reveille was sounded at 5:30 o'clock
this morning, at which time the
guardsmen are required to arise and
prepare for the duties of the day
which consist of policing the compain
street, several hours of instruction by
regular army officers in the handling
of the big guns which protect the
mouth of tile Columbia river, guard
mounting, ealisthcnties, fatigue duly,
etc. The program for each day is a
strenuous one and the men are al
ways ready u go to bed at night.
Companies of artillerymen are camped
here from M edford. Cottage Grove.
F.ugcne. Albany, Roseburg, Ashland.
Portland, and other Oregon cities and
the valuable instruction being given
them by the regular army oliieers is
extremely interos-iiug and very im
portant should it ever become neces
sary t.i prevent a hostile- licet from
entering the mouth of the Columbia
river.
The reports which frequently ap
pear in the Port land newspapers to
the effect that the city of Portland
could be bombarded by a licet enter
ing the Columbia river and coming
up stream to the metropolis, seem to
the writer to be absolutely without
foundation, especially after seeing the
many woiuleriul lighting machines
here.
The weather was clear here when
the troop arrived yesterday and con
tinued so until this afternoon, when a
heavv fog enveloped the harbor at
the mouth of the Columbia and shv.t
off the unusually beautiful view of the
river and the Pacific ocean finch is
'but a few hundred yards away from
the fort. The fog will prevent the
. searchlight drill which was to have
taken place after dark tonight.
The Albany artillerymen have a
fine camp inside the fortifications and
despite the hard maneuvers of today,
all the guardsmen are in go,.d health
and enjoying the work to the limit.
The program which the boys went
through today included three hours
of instruction in handling the big
guns, one hour of battalion drill, one
hour of company drill, nearly two
hours of guard mounting. etc., by
which it may be seen that it is not all
ply up here by any means.
The "regulars"' express thcmsvhxs
as well pleased with the progress be
ing made by the guardsmen in learn
ing the very difficult work of operat
ing the big guns.
FLOOD WILL MOVE
. TO LARGER QUARTERS
G. A. Flood, who lias occupied his
present quarters at the corner of First
and Ferry streets for the past six
years, yesterday signed a lease for the
Brenner block, formerly occupied by
H. A. Stoltenberg and expects to
move his stock to his new location in
about thirty days.
Mr. Flood started in business in
Albany about six years ago with a
small stock and a limited capital and
by hard work and courteous treatment
has built up a large business which
now justifies him in seeking larger
and more commodious quarters. He
will place an order immediately for a
larger stock of drygoods and expects
to have a model store when he moves
to his new location.

WEST IS WATCHING THE
! SITUATION IN LINN COUNTY
Will Make all Officers Special
Agents and Empower Them
To Enforce Liquor Laws.
The following from the Salem Capi
tal Journal indicates that Governor
West is determined to enforce the
liijuor laws in Linn county:
"Determined to put a:i end to boot
legging in Linn county Governor
West has had a" conference with the
sheriff and officials of the county and
irom now on war to the bitter euu
will be waged upon them, and it is
believed that they can be practically
exterminated.
'Some time ago the governor had A
conference with the mayor of Albany
with the view of eradicating boot
leggers from that town, and the may
ir reports that good progress is be
ing made. Both ihe mayr and mar
shal ot that town are in harmony with
the governor on the subject , and al
ready joints have been raided and the
goods they carry confiscated.
"In the county there are a number
of towns also infested with boot-leggers
and the governor is anxious to
laud them. The sheriff and his depu
ties have assured the governor of their
willingness to co-operate with him
and he in turn has assured them that
whenever they need any assistance he
will come t olheir relief. With this
eomhmatnou effected it begins to look
.is though Linn county is to be purg
ed of the boot-legging element, and
also other law violators.
"The special agent statute is to be
invoked in dry counties of the state.
Much complaint has come to the gov
ernor that saloon men, anxious to se
cure the trade of people in dry coun
ties, have put up saloons just across
the line in a wet county. Over these
saloons the officials of the dry county
cannot exercise jurisdiction. With
the view of obviating this the gover
nor intends to make all officers of the
dry county special agents and tin's
will give them power to act in any
county.
"One of the places complained of is
a saloon being operated just across
from Xewberg. on the Marion coun
ty side. The officers of Yamhill coun
ty assert that they have no jurisdic
tion over this saloon. Governor West
will now make them special agents,
and if they violate the law the Yamhill
officers can arrest them and turn them
ovjr to the Marion county authori
ties." HERE IS A SUBSTITUTE
