The oovernor,s Action Commended.

At regular meeting of James W.
Nesmith Post, No. 80, Department. of
Oregon, g. A. R., the following resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, That the members of this
post do most heartily thank our COVER
nor, Hon. T. T. Geer, for his action in
regard to asking for the return of the
Oregon volunteers now in the Philippine
Islands. The prominent part taken by
the Oregon regiment in the recent
battles around Manila, entirely refutes
the idea that these brave young men
are not in. the right place. We do not
believe for a moment that a single men,
Der of that regiment wishes to ehirk his
duty or to return home without the
honor of having been sin at the DEATH
of the insurrection.
RESOLVED, That this resolution be
published in the local papers, and copy
sent to Gov. Geer.

We Are to Have a Fruit Evaporator In
Our Midst-HeIP the Project
Along.

At last The Dalles is on the direct
road to establishing an enterprise here
which is just what we have been need
ing for 80 long, and which we will now
have, unless all indications fail.
We spoke yesterday of Mr.. Judson's
visit to our city, and of his trip into the
country near b5, for the purpose of
determining what our fruit raisers had
to say regarding the advisability of put
ting in an evaporator and packing house
at this point. He was accompanied by
E. Schanno, DIR. Sanders and G. G..
Blakeley, who found the orchardists
enthusiastic when the plans were laid
before them, and ready to aid in push
ing it along.
In the evening some of our principal
business men met with this committee
at the club rooms, and Mr.. Judson ex-
planned TO them the entire echeme and
dwelt on its benefits. They fell in
readily with the proposition and de-
clded to make it a go. A committee was
then appointed consisting of F. A. Seu-
fert, D. NJ. French, E. Schanuo, B. s.
Huntington and w. H. Taylor, who are
to draw up incorporation papers and
solicit subscriptions, each one subecrib-
ing to own stock In the company. An
endeavor will be made to raise some
thing like $4,000. The plant itself will
not cost that much, but it is thought
that sum will be necessary to place it on
its feet and in running trim. The COM
mittee are in it head over heels and
mean business.
A better place for such project could
not have been chosen than The Dalles.
| Situated right in the center of such a
wonderful fruit section as is this city
a section where such thing as total
failure of the fruit crop is unknown, it
cannot fail to prove of great benefit to
everyone. Heretofore our fruit raisers
have suffered great losses every year by
waste in their products, there being
absolutely no way to dispose of great
quantities of their crops. With an
evaporator or dryer so near at hand this
surplus would be utilized and thus g
great saving be made.
Again, fruit men have for years been al
the mercy of fruit companies, who
would purchase their crop, ship it East.
and if any thing was left (which was
seldom the case) the hard working pro
ducer got it. In nine cases out of ten il
was losing Investment. With an in
dustry at home, these men can say to
those who bid for their fruit, ''We wan

The reason for 1t lies here in Aldershot.

In this one the men who teach are trained

is under the direct supervision of Colonel
the Honorable j. s. Napier, who has com

duties and take course OF training, but
en- entering they put themselves liable to
all of the duties that are imposed upon
the recruits or privates, no favors of any
sort being shown them because they hold
commissions. They enter the same class
with the privates and the only distinction
that they receive is that they stand on the
right of the line and so are the first to
be called to whatever task is before them.
Boxing Is given far more attention in
the English army than in any other of the
world and is really considered requisite
part of the soldiers qualification. Regular
tournaments are held for the championship
of the army in the various classes, there

constant attendance. On both sides of the
gymnasium are fields for ut-of- door work
and 1t is the custom to take the classes into
the open air whenever the weather permits.
On one side OF the building the field is a
very large, grassy parade for such work as
walking, running, jumping and other exer-
cises of the arms and legs. In the field on
the other side Of the building are all sorts
OF apparatus, including all that is used in
side the building, besides many that could
not be used under cover.
The best OF all of the outside para
phernalia, and one known only to English
army gymns, is a great framework, the
invention OF Colonel Napier. upon which the
men are taught climbing OF every sort and
which, owing to it's height is calculated to
train the eye as well as the muscles Hang
Ing from the frame are many kinds of
knotted ropes, plain ropes poles and swing
ing ladders, and as inclined side supports
there are ladders, sliding-boards and smooth
inclines. The classes are put over this
frame couple of times each day at very
fast time, an Instructor standing at each
corner to hurry them along and to see that
the slow ones do not block the way. Some
of the men become so expert at this form

and at the same time the best OF exercise for
developing the legs. After keeping up this
motion until the perspiration fairly pours

they are kept at these quick steps and move

There Is a movement on foot in the Eng
lsh war Office to do away with many OF the
cumbersome portions Of the uniforms. such
as the great bearskin shakos worn by the
Scots Guards, or the gorgeous, but heavy,
cuirass of the Horse Guards Many also favor
following the example Of the American army
and adopting a uniform for the army, thus
doing away with the regimental uniform, but
all this is bitterly opposed by lovers of ira
dition, who like to see the same uniform
worn today that worn 100 years or more
ago. The friends of tradition will win their
point (they always do in England), but every
man or officer who has given the matter any
thought. envies the American fighting man,
his light and business like campaign outfit.
The typical Tommy Atkins as seen on the
street and in the barrack room is the most
military locking soldier of Europe; all this
is due to the army gymnasium. But when he
goes into the field, with his heavy kit and
fancy uniform, he looks as city man with
a top hat and frock coat might look in a
hay field in the country.
1t is almost impossible to enumerate the
many features of the calisthenic drill, for
it has almost as many changes as there
are movements of the body. Even the turn
ing of the wrist Is included in the exer-
else. The raising of the arms above the
head while step forward is taken, is one
of the most useful Of all, for it is not al
ways the most fatigung work which does
the body most good. For the legs and feet
the squad first stands straight with the
hands on the hips and then bends the knees
to a sitting posture, at the same time rising
on the toes. 1t is in reality sitting on the
heels and rising again, repeated many
times.

out using their hands to steady them, al
though making the ascent and descent at a
fast run. When the class Is large the men
are sent at the frame in squads OF about
twenty-five.
This unique frame is in reality an entire
gymnasium in itself, and might well be
copied in American army posts, schools and
colleges
All Can Fence.
The building devoted to fencing contains
ono room about 70x50 feet. There are
no side windows, all of the light coming
from the top so that no glare can blind the
eyes Of any of the contestants. Here have
seen as clever use of the fols and blade as
can be found anywhere in Europe.

OF platforms arranged for practice in the
open air and every pleasant day there are a
large number of swordsmen at work from
morning until night for as soon one class
finishes its work another takes its place.
Tho saber receives much more attention
than the foil, especially with men for cav
airy regiments although any Of the men
that wish may take up the foil IL they are
willing to put extra hours into the practice.
The use Of either blade Is not taught as
thoroughly to the recruits for the infantry.
They are taught more of the attack and de-
fense with the bayonet, although all recruits
have a certain amount Of exercise with both
weapons. The classes are first given wooden
guns to drill with, and are taken in squads
OF about ten under an instructor who puts
them through the various thrusts and par
ries until they are proficient enough to use
the contest bayonet. which Is blunt and tel
escopes into the barrel of the gun when the
adversary is hit, thus preventing accidents

In walking the men are given about 100

gymnasium turns out the finest soldiers OF
Europe. Raw recruits with STOPPING shoul-
ders and shambling gait, after few
months training are sent to their commands
big, full-chested and men of muscle proud
of their own bearing and presence and with
a good working knowledge of foils, sabers
and bayonets. They are also taught boxing,
climbing, running and walking. They scale
walls, Chamber up and over high scaffold
ing and climb ropes and ladders at fast
time to train the nerves and the head.
Makes Them strut and SwaEEer.
The exercises are very light at first and
increase In rgor as the recruit develops.
Each recruit has one hour a day for 10 days
and at the end of that time he must be fit
to join any regiment in the British service.
The results of this gymnasium at Alder
shot are reaching, for the men who are
graduated as instructors are sent to every
quarter of the globe and so the work done
here is copied in many climes far across the
seas An army made up of voluntary re-
cruits Is naturally better than one in which
the men are forced to serve. More than half
of the English boys who take the queens

the gorgeousness of the recruiting sergeant.
The English regiments go on what are
called recruiting marches at least once

liveliest marches they march through the
country 1t Is this strut and swagger of the
soldiers that fascnates the youth and per-
suades him to cast his lot with the army
And the physical training gives the men that
strut and teaches them that swagger. Every
man and boy admires straight back, broad
shoulders and full chest, but very few will
attempt to acquire them unless they are
compelled to do so. That is what the gym
nasium does Once get their backs straight
and nothing could induce them to stoop
again. They become proud of their own car
riage. They are taught an exaggerated pose
and their shoulders are thrown farther back
than the straight American would ever carry
his, but 1t suits the uniform and suits the
men.

Dumbbells are much used in the gym

Officers Work There, Too.
At the headquarters gymnasium there
are alwayu d great number Of non-com-
missioned officers and men who are taking
the training for the second time with the
idea of becoming instructors. This examn-
alton is very strict and thorough one
and it requires wonderful physique to
accomplish all that it demands.
Not only are on-commissioned officers
and prvates in this competition for GER
tificates, but there are officers working for
the instructorship and those taking the
training for pleasure or health. Any one

A Purely Vegetable Blood
Remedy is the Only
Cure.

If the people generally knew the
true cause of Rheumatism, there
would be no such thing as lini-
ments and lotions for this painful
and disabling disease. The fact is,
Rheumatism is a disordered state
of the blood--it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood.
But all blood remedies can not cure
Rheumatism, for it isan obstinate
disease, one which requires a real
blood remedy--something more than
a mere tonic. Swift's Specific is
the only real blood remedy, and it
promptly goes to the very bottom
of even the most obstinate case.
A few years ago was taken with in
dammatory Rheumatism, which though
mild at first, became gradually so in
tense that | was for weeks unable to
walk. tried several prominent physi-
clans and took their treatment faith
fully, but was unable to get the slightest
relief. In fact, my condition seemed to
grow worse, the pains spread over my
entire body, and from November to
March J. suffered agony. I tried many
patent medicines, but none relieved me.
Upon the advice Of friend I decided to
try s. s. s. Before allowing me to take
it, however, my guardian, who was a
chemist, analysed the remedy, and pro-
nounced it free OF potash or mercury.
