REGIMENTS AND ARMIES.

The difference between a regiment or col
lection Of regiments and an army is ono Of the
lessons which are being learned in this war; and
not the least important Of them We have
plenty Of regiments, and good ones too. They
are made up of good men. under good officers,
well equipped and well disciplined. They make
n fine showing on parade, and exhibit on occa-
sion an admirable mastery OF regimental drill
What more. some might ASK can be desired TO
make nm efficient army than to put a dozen
or more OF them together under commanding
general?
Much more, is the unhesitating reply. made
forcby evident by present need. You cannot
make a good regiment simply by massing to-
gether thousand men. no matter how fit each
man may be TO be n soldier. and no matter how
thoroughly each may have studied the manual

cover the Philippines, or to hold everything
which Admiral Dewey has not already secured.
because that colony has been the most valuable
and revenue yielding of all Spanish colonies, and
Hpain might then accede to proposals Of peace
owthe basis Of surrender Of Cuba, but retention
Of the Philippines. This fable comes too late.
Spain knew Of the complete destruction Of its

was known in this country to warrant action.

Meanwhile Spain knows that armed vessels Of
great strength have been sent from Pacific ports
to reinforce Admiral Dewey, and can reach the
Philippines sooner than any Spanish fleet now

such force the entrance to Manila could be

A. H. FoRsTNER & co.
Guns, Fishing Tackle and Sporting
Goods. Machine Works. 3OS
Commercial Street.

The business now owned by A. II.
Forstner, and conducted under the
style of A. II. FOrstner & Co., was
founded thirty-five years ago by Ben
jamin Forstner. a cousin of the pro-
prietor. 1t has been conducted under
its present style since 1889.
The stock of A. II. Forstner & Co.
consists of shot guns and rifles, revol-
vers, ammunition, all kinds of fishing
tackle, including rods, lines and full
assortment of hooks, trout flies, lead
ers, baskets, etc, and all kinds of
sporting goods. In firearms Mr..
Forstner is prepared to sell any make
upon the market, and in fishing tackle
can supply everything known to the
trade and in demand in this section.
In this connection it is not inappropri-
ate to state that this house has prob
ably during the past third of a cen
tury, outfitted more hunters and fish
ermen with firearms, ammunition and
tackle than any other in the state. OF
late years however the business has
become broader in range, having put
in one of the finest plants for light
machine work in the Northwest, and
this feature is now no less important
than the original business.
A. II. Forstner & Co.'s machine shop
is Immediately in the rear of the
store proper, and is equipped through
out with the latest improved modern
machinery and machine tools money
can buy. 1t has, besides a forge, an
vii and blacksmiths' tools, a fine lathe,
a mammoth automatic drill, and other
machine tools, operated by steam pow
er. Mr.. Forstner is, therefore, pre-
pared to do all kinds of light machine
work. His specialties are bicycle re-
pairing, brazing, repairing steam en-
gines, boilers and pumps, gunsmithing
and locksmithing, ETC., but he is able
to do anything coming under the head
of light machine work.
A. II. Forstner is a native of Penn
sylvania, but grew to manhood in
Kentucky. He was educated to be a
marine engineer and has held a ma
rine engineers lincese for the past
thirty-two years. He has been an eX-
pert machinist all his life, since reach
Ing mans estate, and for the past
twenty-four years has lived in the
West. He is a manufacturer Of
gopher gun that has become celebrated
in this section and is said to have the
best gun on the market, in that it has
safety, the same as shotgun, thus
reducing possibility of accident to the
minimum.

THE FASHION LIVERY, FEED
AND SALE STABLES.


Among the business changes recent
ly inaugurated in Salem, there is none
more worthy of favorable mention in
a commercial review of the Capital
City than the purchaser, in December
last. of The Fashion Livery, Feed and
Sale Stables. by SkiptOn Bros.
The firm of Skipton Bros. is COM
posed of Messrs. ]. L. and w. l.. Skip
ton They were formerly prominent
liverymen of Corvallis, where they
owned and conducted a stable. In
succeeding to the proprietorship of
The Fashion Livery, Feed and Sale
Stables. the firm has one of the most
desirable locations and certainly the
finest building for livery purposes in
the city. The stables are equipped
throughout in the best modern style,
and in point of stock. vehicles and the
general paraphernalia which go to
make up a first-class livery stable. no
expense has been spared. The live
stock includes fine roadsters for gen
tlemen's driving, gentle horses for
ladies' driving and ladies' and gents
riding horses.
AS is indicated by the title of this
sketch, this is also a feed stable. 1t
has capacity for housing seventy-slX
head of horses and all the vehicles,
harness, etc, for their use. Horses
are boarded and stabbed by the day,
week or month, and private rigs are
cared for at reasonable rates.
As a sales stable, The Fashion Liv-
cry, Feed and Sales Stables will un-
doubtedly rank among the first in the
state. The Skipton brothers, born and
reared upon a farm in Benton county,

work, recently completed by this firm
is the plumbing in the school building
at the Warm Springs Indian agency
and shortly prior to this, the putting
in of the water works system at the
agency. These government contracts,
awarded Bernardo & Dunsford in the
face of open competitions are quite
feather in the firms cap, and may be
considered no less a compliment to Sa-
lem. We should not omit to add that
the firm is Salem's agent for the Inter-
national Heater Company, now re-
puted to manufacture the best and
most economical heater on the market.
1t does away entirely with the old
