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. A
number of the horses present are not
yet entered, as the entries do not close

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 !'

election will be held ln the latter part of
July, probably on the 2 2d inst although
the election has not yet been ordered
by the Adjutant General. .
- Adjuant General C. 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.
Voorhees. the other candidate, is a
graduate of West Point, and served for
a 'llmef in the. regular- army. A few

one of the farms of the Burrell estate.

for Lieutenant Colonel of the new regi

If superiority of actual service In

Leabo, of Salem, may be the third,
not only on account of his , natural
qualifications, but also as the Only rec
ognition which Salem will. receive and
to which' she is entitled. Major Lea

his long term of service.
vTThe Military Board is determined to
have the Oregon Kational Guard con
form to the Dick law, before the annu-
a encampment, which will likely be
hel da American Lake, near Tacoma,
Sept. 15 to SO. 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.
For Target Practice.1; . j
, Company F, of Salem, will become a
part of the new regiment and has a
fair prospect of becoming one of the
best companies in the regiment. It now
baa. three efficient officers, and under
the command of Captain Chas. A. Mur
phy, will .fast assume the form and ap
pearance of a regular army company.
Captain Murphy Is acknowledged' as
one of the best drill-masters l&r the
state, and In ability to command the
respect of those under - him, has no

The company - has received a large
number of remits latelysome of which
were formerly members of the Second
Oregon Volunteer regiment, and -although
the ranks are not yet full, they
soon will be,
. The company has a large amount of
ammunition on -hand, and this morn
ing will go to the grounds about a mile
south of. the city, for target practice.
This branch ''of the drill has been neg
lected, as the company bad no targets,
but last week Captain Murphy received
a . full, set,; of regulation targets, and
henceforth regular . nne pracuco vw
be .taken. v The boys win try to use

FIERCE AND
BLOODY WAR
Batchers of Salem Are Cnt
. ting Prices and Also
. 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."' - - - :. '..' v : - '

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.
