Ever Before NEW BRICK AND CEMENT FOUN DATION, BEING BUILH-UNDER THE GRANDSTAND STAND FOR JUDGING CATTLE "AND HORSES , WILL SEAT SPECTATORS. (From Saturday PaUy.) , A visitor at the State Fair Grounds now would find it aH busyVplaee, quite different from the winter months. An air of preparation pervades every por tion of the grounds, and several threes of men are at work repairing buildings r erecting new ones. Ttie) jBoard, of AgrieultureconsIsUng of W. H. Weh rung, president; W. D. Wisdom, secre tary, and J. II. SetUemferi nre deter mined that the grounds and building shall be in first class condition by the time the State Fair begins In Septem ier. ; i " ' -r 'v "M Yesterday Mr. Settlemler was on the ground superintending the work and seeing that everything goes rigbj . He conies up from Wood burn nearly every day bowj In order to see that the repair work now being done on . the grand stand will be done as the board de sires.! . "i The grandstand now stands on blocks and Jack screws, and the entlrefoun dation is to be rebuilt at an expense of XM.. The small brick piers will, be re placed by piers twenty-six Inches square, both around the outside and also underneath the center piers. A retaining wall will be built the entire length of the building eighteen Inches high, and four Inches thjek. The.foun-; dation is to be very solid this time and will be perfectly safe "under "the tre mendous weight of over ,6000 , people which occupy the structure" during tM races. ' ' - - The ditch for the new water main from the Arylum has been dug and tha four Inch pipe Is now being laid. This pipe runs to the grandstand, and from there two-inch pipes will supply the different buildings, and The tanks for watering the track. Just, atpresent h hnntemen are exneriencma ' treat difficulties over the water pro Weny be- cause the water ha been shut off from the Asylum. The water Is taken from Mill creek, and the Mill Company now has the water shut off to repair the ditch. The trainers are compelled to carry water from one well to. . about eighty hnn-s and the track goes with out sprinkling. It is now In splendid condition for training horser, and 'is considered the best track in . the Northwest circuit. TnelackoTwater will damage it considerably .but the ditch will again be running full on next Sunday, and the track will soon be worked back Into shape again. The additional horse stables, Which were constructed last summer,, were put up in great haste and covered Iwlth boards, and these buildings are now being shingled. Lumber Is being-hauled to the grounds for building another horse stable, cow stalls, and a udges stand to be built on the open space, northeast of the pavilion. It Is to bt so arranged that the horses and cattl; to be Judged will be led through tha centre, and the seats for the specta tors will be arranged In raised tiers on each side of the passage way. This will be a great convenience both to the Judges, and the general public. Many Horses Training. The great point of Interest on the grounds Is the training stable, where the 'horses are being worked into con dition for the fall races. Many of th best horses in the country are there and any morning visitors may witness plendld exhibitions of these beautiful animals racing against time. There are twelve men training the horses, all experts who have spent their lives at the business, and each n Is now doing his best work. 'that his horse might be the one to carry oft! we laurers and the purses. The twelve trainers have fifty-three honres under their care, som? of which are merely colts, getting their first experience on the track, but the majority of them are being 'worked Into shape for tha events on the" Northwest race course, and several of them are also entered In the California races. Only a. few of the horses entered In the races for th rge stakes are now upon the ground, but they are arriving every day.

STATE J.ULITIA REORGANIZED Companies at Oregon City and Grants Pass Were Disbanded SOUTHERN, OREGON COMPANIES MADE SEPARATE BATTALION EASTERN : OREGON ? ATTACHED TO REGIMENT OFFICERS TO BE ELECTED. The State Military Board Friday re solved to disband the militia companies at Grant's Pass and Oregon City. This action was decided upon as necessary in order to comply with the Dick lay. The decision was preceded by an ani mated debate. i The session was an adjourned meet ing at the office of .Adjutant General Gantenbein, in the Chamber of Com merce building in Portland. : Governor Chamberlain was . present, also Adju tant i; General Gantenbein, Inspector General James Jackson, Judge Advo cate General S. C Spencer, and Com missary General D. M. Dunne. The board decided that tha Oregon National Guard should be composed of one regiment of twelve companies, and one battalion of four companies, name ly, the two at Eugene, the one at-Rose-burg, and the one at Ashland. There are now eighteen companies, two of which as named ; above, will bo dis missed. The six in Multnomah county will be retained. , Mi - The. action does not meet the ap proval of all members of the Military Board, but they agreed to it in pursu- ment will require & Colonel, a Lieu- tenant Colonel, and two Majors of the regiment and one Major for the battal ion, q ;. ! ' ; ; ;-'v'.-i . It: Is necessary for Oregon to make thia reorganiation,, said a member of the board yesterday, "In order to avail itself of the benefits of the Dick law." ,The board is empowered by law to disband any companies "whenever in their Judgment the ! efficiency of the state forces will thereby be increased.' The action of the board in disband ing the Oregon City company Is con sidered by many os a. direct slap at State Senator Oeorge C. Brovnell, who introduced resolutions in the last Leg islature censuring Adjutant General Gantenbein for his history, and official roster of the Second Oregon Regiment ln the' Philippines, and demanding r a revision of the book. No other reason can be given, as Portland is left with six companies, and Eugene with two. Under the old organization the com panies at Eugene. Roseburg and Ash land belonged to the Fourth Regiment, and the four companies , in Eastern Oregon, The Dalles, Baker;.'' City,-; La urande and Pendleton, formed a se pa- rate battalion", but under he new or- der. those, .companies will form a por tion of the new reglmenMmd theSouth ern Oregon companies will form , the separate battalion.' This, of course, is very gratifying to the Eastern Ore gon boys, but very unsatisfactory to Southern Oregon. ! i 1 The new regiment will be on a regu lar army footing of twelve companies, anr much more efficient in action and parade than the old seven company regiments. ; 1 !'

Fourth regiments will be compelled to surrender their commis sions. With the exception of the dis banding of. the two companies at Ore gon City and Grant's Pass, no change will be made in the comoanjr officers GUTIGURA PILLS For Cooling ai Me lie 6ioo anil Skin fn Cases of Itching, Burning, ; Scaly And for Renovating arid Ea i ricliing tha Blood.

U. Gantenbein and Gordon Voorhees, of. Portland, are the -'"most ; prominen candidates '- for Colonel of the new regiment, although "several , other names are " . mentioned. General Gantenbein is the leading can didate, and will probably be elected, as he, has many friends throughout ".the regiment, and his reputation, as a sol ditjr is unrivaled. He has served long and, faithfully in the Oregon National Guard, and a' Major of the First Bat talion in the Second Oregon Volunteers, he proved to be oneof the most capa ble, officers In the Volunteer force.

If superiority of actual service In time of war has any r weight In the election. Majors C E. . McDonnell and J; L.

Under the new organiza tion the regiment will be able to make a presentable appearance, as compared with the regulars from the Depart ment of the Columbia,' which will also assemble at" American Lake.

Much Meat TROUBLE STARTED, SEVERAL MONTHS AGO .OVER -PURCHASE . OF A CALF AND WAR WAS DE CLARED SINCE BIDDING FOR STATE INSTITUTION SUPPLIES. A fierce and bloody war hah been declared among the butchers of this city. Which promises to hold out for several months and maj result In some of the lesser ones going to the wall and out of business entirely. ' The war will be a fierce one for the reason that all, of those who are participating In it are determined to carry it on to the bitter end, and It will be a bloody one besause the wholesale butchery of stock in the viclnitv of Salem, to bud- ply the great demand occasioned by , the cut in prices will be greater than it has ever been before In the history VS f , berore in tne n"Joryj or Salem, and. strange to say, the whole trouble in meat market row was pre-1 cipitated on account of an Innocent I little calf. It seems that the trouble has been brewing ; for several months and the strong undercurrent of competition'has just come to the surface. As near as can be learned It Is the understanding between all of the butchers "n the city, as is the case, with all other trades, that . the prices of all kinds of meats are agreed upon among them, and this agreement is to be lived up to to the letter, and, in case a price is raised or lowered upon any particular meat or meats, all the butchers in the city are to be notified of this fact. When the trouble first began the buying price for veal on foot was 1-4 cents per pound. Later the- price advanced to 7 cents and all of the butchers were notified of this fact. . , One day one of the butchers here bought a calf and paid 7 cents per pound for it. When the farmer was hauling the calf to town another butch er stopped him on the street and want ed to buy It. Upon being told that It was sold for 7 ' cents, this butcher, it is said, offered 7 1-4 cents. The farm er stayed with the bargain and deliv ered the calf to the purchaser, and, in cidentally told him of his offer. This enraged the butcher, and be immedi ately telephoned the other butcher, asking If the report was true. Upon being Informed that It was, but that the real was wanted for out-of-town trade, butcher No. 1 informed the of- fending butcher that he would from that' time on pay S cents pj, pound for calves, and,' If necessary, 9 cents. Matters grew from bad to worse, un til the bidding for the ,ppIies for the Asylum and Penitentiary came up, when severe rate-cutting was "very much in evidence, . and war was de clared forthwith, and now all of them are taking a hand ln It. Just how long It will last Is not known, but, un less a meeting Is held and the difficul ties satisfactorily adjusted. It promises to be carried on through the holidays. In the meantime the people are smil ing up their sleeves, patting the butch ers on the backs and eating meat three times a day and saying, "let the gnod thins; go en."' - - - :.

EGG WITHIN AN EGG ; FREAK IN HEN FRUIT PRODUCE ON A RANCH NEAR ":.:- OLYMPIAN. ' OLTMPIA. Wash, July It This week a Thurston county hen laid "an egg within an egg." a feat which few hens have ever accomplished. C. Holt husen, proprietor of the Tony Faust restaurant here, discovered this inter esting freak of nature in a batch of eggs delivered at his place. While he was exhibiting it. Dr. R. M. Rayes, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of this city, walked up and stated that only the day before he saw a similar egg in the museum in the city of Port land, laid by a hen of Oregon extract; and much prized for its oddity and rarity. The egg laid by the Washing ton hen was at. -least ..three inches through the smaller portion and four or five Inches in length. The shell looked like that of a' Plymouth Rock hen's egg. When broken. Inside was an egg of normal size, swimming In a sea of albumen. The egg will be preserved to prove that Washington hens are do ing their best to keep pace with Ore gon hens. CASTOR I A ..
