In discussing the question OF ex-
penses OF the visit OF the militia, a
we'll known lawyer yesterday said that
the expense TO the county OF having |
the militia here consisted principally |
in luxuries that might be voluntarily |
or offered TO the troops. and |
in the rental OF grounds for camping |
purposes, which in this Instance. were
free. Under the laws OF Ore
gOn. the expense now incurred by
or cities is different from what
Il formerly was when the militia were |
entirely enrolled under state laws. |
the militia in nearly every
state are enrolled under national guard |
laws and a large portion Of their ex-
penses are borne by the nation.

cess while playing over the state that

of carrying Off the Monarch OF the Dali

amlners played at olney Sunday and
another scalp Is dangling at their belt
The farmers were batted all over the
field. The score was a to Il, and in
the fourth inning every Exdulner
tanned out; not that they couldn't hit
the sphere. but because such action
shortened the game. The boys had
delightful time, excepting perhaps. Rcrt
Ross, who showed a disposition to
throw up his situation on the way
home. The Examiners have won every
game so far played, and their he IDS
are gradually swelling. Some time this
week the Examiners and the A. f. c.
