sire to thank Mrs. Garretson for ajar of
delicious spiced peaches. They also ex-
tend thanks to Mr.. W. G.. Cram for a

music last evening, dispensing their
sweet notes all ioverca &
The band had reunion at the head
q narters last night and afterwards a
shirt tail parade drill. The flag on the
tent was at half mast.
Major Burke is still the guest of head
quarters and is much liked by all with
whom he comes in contact. He is
thorough officer and a gentleman:
Under the chaperonage of Mrs. DR..
Hollister charming party of the ladies
of The Dalles went to camp in Mr.. Rich

Among the visitors to camp last even

lister, Miss Lewis, Mrs. Garretson, Miss
Annie Sylvester, Miss Jennie Brown,
Miss Lora Johnston, Miss Nellie Sylves-
ter, and host of the bellies OF the city.
Last evening the camp was very at
tractive from the number of visitors.
Many more being in attendance then
or any previous evening.
Major Burke has reviewed the second
regiment, now in camp at Eugene, and
says that the third regiment outnumbers
the second by 100 men.
Lieutenant colonel Thompson is much
pleased with the good conduct of the
men. He has only held one field court,
and this was for a mere trihe and the
man was not punished. 1
The Fossil base ball club, which again
carried off the honors, yesterday, have
never yet been beaten in regular match
game, and they have played with the
Mayviile club, with that of Arlington,
with that of Antelope, and Condor, and
now twice with the La Grande boys.
| Besides this; two of their best players
are not here. This is record any club
may well be proud, and as we have all
one common bunch grass brotherhood
we are proud of them too.
The first accident of the -encampment
occurred Yesterday. Private G. G. Rod
abaugh5 of K company, was returning
to camp from bathing trip to the Col
umbia river in company with seven
others, when he missed his footing and
] fell over bluff, striking his left knee on
a fat rock on which he fell with all his
weight. At first it was supposed that
the knee was broken and the man
suffered for time, intense pain. His
com panions carried him part of the way
to camp, where the doctor made him as
easy as possible and few hours after
the accident he was able to limp out of
his tent and view the races.
Corporal Will Langille of Hood River
turned the joke on his father, yesterday
| in good style. 1t was Wills duty, for
1.-THE first time, to superintend the: clean
lup of the camp, and he took particular
pains to have his father, who is high
private in the same company, detailed
as one of the men to do the work. Cor
4 poral Langille prefaeed his orders to
fpriyate Langille with the significant re-
! mark. Daddy have got you now
where 1 have wanted you for the last
twenty years. And SO be had, and the
officers commended Corporal Langille for
having the cleanest camp and parade
ground they have had since they came
in the field. The corporal compelled
his father to go down on his knees and
pick up every scrap of paper and every
4 stump of cigarette on the ground and
private Langille submitted with true
soldierly meekness, but when the work
was done, his great parental heart again
asserted itself as he told his boy, "My
Eson, when get you home I'll take the
4 lint off you" 10
