INFANTRY REGIMENT ORGANIZATION
Gen. MandersOn Enthusfastfcauv I'm.
dOrses the Proposed Change

~es. Manderson Enthusiastically In
dorses the Proposed Change.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
OMAHA, February 4.-There has been
recently introduced into Congress a meas
ire providing for change in the present
erea lzaton Of infantry regiments and the
proposed change is the subject for discus
sion among military men everywhere. II
the measure is adopted the present division
OF regiment into ten companies drawn uu
into single battalion would be abandoned
snd the organization of the regiments so
changed as to provide for twelve companies
divided into three battalions of four conn
panies each.
General Henderson is enthusiastic over thu
proposed change. In fact, he introduced a
resolution with this end in view no less than
three times while he was a member Of tbe
United States Senate. Each time the meas
IRE passed the Senate, but it lacked the sum-
port Of sufficient number of Representa-
tVes to become a law. Before the Forty-
eighth Congress Genela al Henderson made
an extended argument in favor of the
Change, and that speech Is receiving consit-
cradle attention now that the matter has
been brought up again.
mis- single battalion organization is a
most suicidal one" said the ex-senator to
The Star correspondent 1T was all right
when the old-fashioned muzzle loader was
lsed to have the ranks of infantry as solid
as possible The guns employed then, as in
the civil war, could not carry more than 400
yards with any degree of accuracy but to-
day the use of a gun that will carry SURELY
two miles makes absolutely necessary the
employment of a three battalion organiza-
ton. By this method the regiment going
into battle would present front of two ba :
talions, with open ranks, while the third
battalion could be held back of the other two
to be used where the need for it should
prove greatest. With the long-range guns
now in use the men drawn up in one long
line, as in the single battalion now the Gus
tom, would stand no chance at ALL The fact
that the United States, Persia and China are
the only nations today that employ the sim
gle battalion principle of infantry organiza.
ton is sufficient to demand a change to
suit the modern arms now in general use
With China and Persia we are in nice COM
pany, aren't We? The efficiency Of the
breech-loader is many times that of the old
Misunderstanding gun, and the efficiency of a
regiment Of infantry in battle today would
probal ly be ten times that Of a regiment in
81. 1t is necessary that we change our
formation for hattie to suit this increased
efficiency and I'm glad that there is a re-
newed effort to introduce the liberalization
arrangement"

$4,000 in gold has been spent in the
Santiam, and the lodges are just begin
ming to get fairly prospected enough to
begin to show their value, and the
deeper the workings the better the ore
gets. So the all-important question as
to whether the Lodges in the Cascade
range go down or not is fully settled,
and we now look for all the camps
from the Clackamas on the north to
the Bohemia district on the south, to
take on new lite from this time for

Hotchkiss said to him: "Why look at
the timber here. thought l had seen
some fine timber in Michigan and

that know nothing about timber at

reply, and then taking up the thread
Of his conversation again, he said:

Judgment Against Waterloo,

Joseph Misner, a respectable citizen
Of Waterloo, was arrested last spring
and fined in a summary manner, by
the town authorities, Many of the
best citizens of that lively, little town
thought Mr.. Misner had been badly

were employed to test the matter in
the circuit court, and succeeded in OBJ
tanning a judgment against the city
for the fine aud costs and also the costs
Of the suit in the circuit court. For
some reason the officers uf the city
have attempted to give up their offices
and the city is apparently left with no
municipal government. Waterloo

its officers and should proceed ut once

Excursion to Newport.

An excursion will be run from this
city to Newport next Sunday, July 20.
This will be q grand opportunity for
those who would like to go to Newport
and return the same day. The Soda
vile Concert Band has been engaged
to accompany the excursion. Among
tide attractions at Newpart, the First
Regiment Band, OF Portland, has been
engaged for the season at Newport and
will give concert during the day
Sunday. Much depends, for Lebanon,
upon the success of this excursion, as
there will undoubtedly be people who
will wish TO take this trip later in the
summer and the possibility of this
depends entirely upon the success Of
this excursion. If a good crowd will
go this time, an excursion could be run
whenever desired, after this, but if nc
crowd goes, it will afterward be i'm.
possible to get an excursion. The ex.
cursion will leave Lebanon at 6:l5

Called him up the golden stair.

Cease, oh mother cease your weeping
He will meet you on the golden stair.
Safe in Jesus arms he's sleeping.
Wrapped in robes that angels wear,
Love he sowed and love is reaplng,
