manfully to extract II moioty of comfort
from the Oregon election returns. The
significance of the vote for the republi-
can candidate for congress is shown in II
majority of nine thousand, nearly two
thousand moro than was east ut the state
and presidential elections in 1883. If
the democrats can gain any consolation
from the steady increase in republican
majorities in Oregon, they are welcome

being fully supplied and the demand for
generous giving is as great and urgent as
at any time since the calamity. The
hundreds of people whose homes were

liberality of their neighbors, of which
too much cannot be said in

of the entire state have duty to per-

COMPETITIVE DRILL.
The competitive drill for gold and silver
medals by the cadets at the university grounds
this morning was pronounced by the persons
who witnessed 10 as one of the best that has
ever taken place at the university. A large
crowd of spectators gathered TO witness it.
The company drill was the first on the pro-
gramme and companies A, 3, G. and ID en-
tered the field in alphabetical order. The
contest was very even one, and the judges,
Colonel Harry Hotchltiss of the governors
staff and Lieutenant Taggart of the United
States army, reserved their decision until the
close of the military exercises at D
p. IN. The individual competitive
drill next occurred and forty-fve soldierly
appearing young men entered for the prizes
army acted as commandapt. A moro splen-
didly drilled company of young men has
rarely stood before an officer The slightest
mistake was sufficient to drop cadet from
the ranks. After firing commands at the
young soldiers for u quarter of an hour Lieu
tenant Griffith had to order parade rest in
order to catch his breath. Thirty-two cadets
still stood in line aud after getting his wind
the lieutenant again tackled the boys. 1t took
nearly half an hour to reduce the number to
three and then the interest of the spec
tators was worked up to its highest pitch.
These three were Mr.. PodlcsalI of Milligan,
MIR. Hugo f. Nelson of Oakland, and Mr..
Randolph McNitt of Red Cloud. The men
were equally matched, and the friends of
PodlesalS were disappointed to see him drop
out after making such splendid showing.
The contest then lay between Nelson and
McNitt for first place, and slight error by
the latter gave Nelson the gold medal while
McNitt was awarded the silver medal The
friends of the three lads gave them the usual
three toSses in the air.
The judges in the competitive drills were
Richard II. Townley, U. S. A., and f. F.
Taggart, lieutenant Sixth infantry. The fol-
lowing is the official report, the maximum
mark being 1907
