Cameron Hemphill Dead.

So sudden was the illness that resulted
in the death of Cameron Hemphill, that
to many of his friends the announcement
of his demise was their first knowledge
that he was not enjoying health. Being
OF naturally strong constitution, when
he was attacked by la grippe something
over a week ago, his parents felt that
the services of a physician we're un-
necessary, and few days nursing would
restore him to good health. But his
condition continued to grow worse, and
medical aid was summoned, but for
Cameron Hemphill the hour had come
and human skill was of no avail. At
3:15 Monday morning his spirit took its
flight, and he was free from earthly cares
and suffering.
He was born at Warsaw, Ind, Fed. %,
1861, and was the oldest of three children.
In 1876, he came to Corvallis with his
parents. He assisted in the manage
ment of the Hemphill House, until seven
years ago when he succeeded his father
as proprietor of the Corvallis Harness
Factory, continuing in this position until
his death.
Funeral services were conducted at the
family residence, Wednesday afternoon,
by DIR. Thompson. A number of Elks
from Salem, of which order he was a
member, were in attendance and took
charge of the burial service which oc-
cured at Crystal Lake cemetery.

annually and $1,000 every year thereafter
until $25 900 had been reached. In 1871
Oregon accepted this money and the
duties imposed. This fund can only be
expended in the year in wiicl, it innures,
and that for the employment of teachers.
Since 1898, the 0. A. c.. has not re-
ceived one cent from the state until the
destruction OF the mechanical hall. The
present needs Of the college are such that
only means of supplying them is through
legislative assistance, and they are needs
which the state obligated itself to supply
when she accepted the provisions of the
various acts. These needs are heating
plant, additional room in the chemical
and sewerage and water
system. The legislature was invited to
visit the institution that the members
might see for themselves the needs
the college, and be placed in position
to vote intelligent!y on any measure ask
ing for an appropriation.
After short toasts by President Taylor,
of the senate, Speaker Carter, Senator
Mulkey and Mr. Patterson, a student
from Coos county, the guests departed
for the depot where the train was wait
ing to carry them back to Salem.

Out of the Tombs.

Mrs. Fayne Strahan Moore, in all
probability will soon be free woman
Neiil Campell, a big hearted property
owner, who, it is said, has never seen
her or any one associated with her in his
life until yesterday. las offered to become
her bondsman in the sum of S., 400.
He came forward voluntarily, and, as
he declared, simply in the interest of
fair play, thinking that Mrs. Moore
should not be imprisoned, in view of the
fact that she has not been convicted.
Mrs. Moore's bail on the charge of
badgering was fixed at 1900, but in adj
dition to this there is charge against
her of stealing silver from the Waldorf
hotel. Her bail in this case is 81 500.
Campbell says, "I've started in this
thing and I'll see it through if it takes
$50, 900 bail"
Mr., Campbell was presented to Mrs.
Moore in the Tombs. He is big, bluff
Irishman, famous for his philanthropy,
and he has frequently befriended families
in hard luck and allowed them to live
rent free in his flats.
"All I ask" he said, sis that Mrs.
Moore remain in the jurisdiction OF the
court" The fair prisoner was very
grateful and gladly agreed to the terms.

.GUARDSMEN FORGET SALUTES
ADJUTANT GENERAL BURTON
ISSUES AN ORDER.
Need of More Soldierlike Conduct and
Proper Conception of Official Com
munications Pointed Out.

An important order was issued yes
terday by Adjutant General Burton. to
the national guard of Utah. The edict
is known as general order No. 8, and
has reference chiefly to The laxity ct
guardsmen in observing military cour-
tesies to their officers in the armories
and upon grounds of the guard. 1t IS
stated that if staff or line officer hap
pens to go ununiformed upon premises
of the national guard, few, If any mem
bers of the guard remember the re-
quirement of giving a salute. For the
purpose of jogging the memories Of
guardsmen upon this particular point
in military etiquette, and at the same
time drawing attention to the preVa-
lence of transgressions of the rules re-
lating to- treatment of official commun1-
cations, the order was issued. As soon
as the contents of the general order be
come circulated an improvement in the
conduct of the citizen soldiers is ex-.
pected as to the matters in which they
have been a little remisS. A.
The text of general order No. 8, IS
sued yesterday from the headquarters
of the national guard, is as follows:
]. All armories or grounds leased or
occupied by any organization of the ma
during the time of such lease and oc--
cupany as under military control, and
strict military discipline will be enforced.
Where a person is permanently employed
to take charge of such premises he. will.
when on duty, wear his uniform, and will
make it his business TO see that all mem
bers of the guard upon the premises con-
duct themselves in a soldierly manner.
paying proper salutes to officers and OBJ
serving the rules generally which gov
ern in the service. No person not con-
nected with the national guard may be
admitted to such premises, only as a mat
ter of courtesy and upon proper permit
from the responsible officer.
III. The regulation which requires that
official communications pass through reg
ular channels, must not be construed as
meaning that any information coming to
an officer in such a manner may be inn
parted by him to others. Matters per-
tanning to the personnel of the command
with which he is associated are communi-
GATED to him as a, matter of courtesy and
for his Endorsement and recommends
ton, but such matters are not his prop-
erty. neither are they the property of the
public or the press; and any officer who
is so forgetful of the proprieties as to
give publicity TO information reaching
him in this manner will be regarded as
deficient in honor. and his conduct viii
be looked upon as subyersice of military
discipline. BY order of the commander

STOLEN HARNESS RECOVERED
DEPUTY sHERIFFs RETURN
FROM SUCCESSFUL SEARCH.
Found Three Sets of Harness That
Had Been Pilfered Early In the
Spring From Salt Lake Firms.


Deputy Sheriffs sDowse and Harries re-
turned yesterday from Tooele county with
three sets of harness that were stolen last
February and March. Two sets belonged
to the American Biscuit company and one
to the J. G. Mcdonald Candy company.
The missing articles We're found on Fem
stermakers ranch, not many miles from
Tooele City and fifty miles from Salt
Lake. When the officers learned that
Fenstermaker had the harness they secur-
ed the services of Sheriff Gillespie of Too
ele county to assist them in the search.
The three taxed Fenstermaker with hav-
ing the stolen property, but he vigorously
denied the accusation. A search was in
stituted at once. One. set was found
stored away IN an attic. Another was
found buried behind the barn. and still
more was located under a lot of oats.
Fenstermaker held up his hands in hor-
ror when the harness was turned UP"
He swore he hadn't the least idea of how
it came on his place. The officers made
no arrests, but loaded the harness into a
big wagon and brought it to Salt Lake.
1t made goodly showing as it lay on the
floor of the sheriff's office yesterday af-
ternoon. The value of the articles is put

Ephrain. Sept. 2s.-The city tax notices

of an alleged water tax which has been
assessed against all of the property in the
city Expressions Of indignation are heard
on every side
This tax. which is levied for the control
and distribution of the waters running
into and Through this city, has always be-

for this purpose a tax of mills on all the
taxable property in the city. In This way
the progressive citizen who has spent his
money in Building q nice home and those
who put their money into business blocks
and stocks of merchandise are compelled
to pay a big tax for distributing water
which they do not own and In which they
have no interest.
One of our leading business men has
just informed. the writer that himself and
others will refuse to pay the tax until the
matter has been settled in court.
Another tax which is causing lots of
kicking Is d special street tax for side
