200 present, although about so did not
vote. Andrew J. Sibley was unan-
imously nominated amid great en-
thusiasm. Responding to the de-
mands for speech he thanked the
voters heartily for their confidence.
If elected would endeavor to give his
best services to the office and repre-
sent the whole city. (Cries of you'll
be elected all rightly
j. H. Senter said that it had been
the custom to nominate union JUS
tioe ticket and as the Republicans had
not yet held their caucus he moved
that committee of seven be chosen
to confer with similar committee
of Republicans and select and nomin-
ate a union justice ticket. The
motion was carried and the following
committee was elected: L. B. Brooks,
j. o. Livingstone, 7. j. Kelleher,

FILLING UP THE REGIMENT
Recruits from New York to Join Twenty
Second Here.
ARMY WANTS MORE VETERINARIANS
Major 5. c. Mills Ordered from PHIL
ippines to Department of the
Missouri for Duty as In
speetor General.

The government has started to I'LL the de-
pleted ranks of the Twenty-second regi-
ment, which arrived in the Department Of
the Missouri with an average Of thirty
seven men in each company while the full
complement is 104. The depletion was
caused by orders issued before the regiment
left the Philippine islands which transferred
to the Thirteenth all soldiers whose terms
Of enlistment did not expire before next
July, sending but a skeleton regiment to the
United States. as every enlisted man is to
be free to leave the army within six months.
Word has been received that 27O recruits
have been sent from Fort slocum, N. Y, to
Fort Crook to join that part Of the Twenty
second infantry stationed at Forts Crook,
Robinson and Niobrara. which comprises
the entire regiment with the exception Of
one company, which is stationed at Fort
Logan H. Roots. 1t Is not the intention OF
the government to recruit the regiment up
to its full strength ct this time, as men who
are now enlisting are needed in. the regi-
ments in active service.
Recruits to the number OF 113 now sta
TONED at Jefferson barracks left the Depart
ment yesterday for San Francisco, where
under orders from the commander Of the
Department Of California they will be
placed in companies of the coast artillery
now on the Pacific coast. The party will be
In charge of Major George K. Hunter Of the
Fifteenth cavalry, who upon completion OF
that duty will proceed by the first available
transport to the Philippines to Join his COM
mand.
A telegram from Washington to the chief
quartermaster OF the department here calls
for fourteen veterinary surgeons to volun-
teer for service of two years in the Philip
pine islands. The quartermaster Is in
structed to engage all who apply with
proper qualification, which is graduation
from a recognized veterinary school, and
have them in San Francisco by March 81,
ready to sail on a transport which will leave
that port April /. The last call for
veterinarians was for twenty, a number OF
whom were secured in this department, but
not from Nebraska, the majority being
from the neighborhood of Kansas City.
Major Stephen G. Mills, inspector gen.
eral of the United States army, who has
been relieved from service in the Philip
pines and ordered to report for duty as in
spector general OF the Department Of the
Missouri, will probably arrive In the city
within a month from the date Of his or
ders. Major Mills was graduated from
West Point In the class Of 1873 and was
made second lieutenant in the Twelfth in
fantry the following year. He was made
captain in 1894, and in 1898 was created
major and inspector general. Since that
time he has served several years in the
Philippines. He is a native Of New York
but entered the military academy from
Illinois.

a railroad and mining enterprise in western
Oregon. having the management OF a rail-
road now under construction from College
Grove, Ore, to Bohemia, the center Of a
large mining district which has heretofore

valuable properties there. The Develop
ment Of the district includes a large smell
ter, electric power plants to utilize the
splendid falls on Row river, sawmills to
handle the immense quantities of FIR tim
Der tributary to the railroad, in addition to
the railroad line. The district has been set

Mr.. Morphy expects to return to Oregon
In a few days, making his headquarters at

than inconvenience at the delay, but a con

cations.
