The San Francisco call., 1904-08-12
BY FRED. NJ. GILMORE.
Staff Correspondent OF The Call.

ATASCADERO, Aug. 11.-From early
dawn the camp has been a scene Of
life and action There has not been
a moment in the day that evolutions
OF one kind or another have not been
going on. On the great camp field the
review and parade Of the Fifteenth In
fantry, Lieutenant Colonel Pratt COM
manding, at sundown tonight was a
beautiful sight. 1t was thrown into
bold relief by the oak-covered hills,
which made a stunning background for
the troops in their khaki uniform.
General Macarthur made another
detour to-day of the country sur
rounding the camp and on his return
said: Il am more than pleased with
this place for these maneuvers. The
more / see of the topography of the
ranch the better I like 1t. The supply
of water here is so far more than suffi-
cient for our needs and shows no signs
of diminution. l am looking forward
with great interest to the battle exer-
cises which are now on the eve of be-
ginning"
The main feature of the day was the
hospital drill at reduced distances un-
der command of Colonel A. c. Girard.
The entire corps of the medical depart
ment OF over 100 men took part. 1t
was divided into two brigades, Major
William Stephenson commanding the
first and Major Kendall as commander
of the second. The wounded We're first
conveyed on stretchers from the scene
OF the supposed conflict to the am
bulance station, thence to the dressing
station and afterward to the field hos
pital.
Everything was carried out as is OBJ
served in actual warfare. The drill was
great success, being realistic in the
extreme.
General Macarthur has under con-
sideration taking the entire division
out to bivouac for one night. This will
be the real thing in the way of army
battle exercise and will give the mill
tia taste of going over rough coun-
try and at the same time packing their
blanket rolls, rationS, haversacks and
canteens.
This morning the provisional regi-
ment went through battalion and regi-
mental extended order drill, Colonel
W. L. Pitcher commanding, Major
Paxton, Major Van Vliet and Captain
]. ]. O'Connell in command of the
Third Battalion.
Colonel George Andrews, adjutant
general of the division, to-day made
an official announcement /of the mum
ber of trCops in camp, which consist
of the following organizations and
makes a total of 2251 officers and
men:
Division commander and staff, 10:
headquarters guard, 81: Signal Corps,
Company C, "A; Hospital Corps, com
pany of instruction No. 2, 1OS; Ninth
Cavalry, Third squadron, 260; Field
Artillery battalion, 296; Fifteenth
United States Infantry. 6s2, and the
provisional regiment United States In
fantry 761.
The grand review of all the troops,
both Federal and State. in this camp
will take place before General MacAr-
thur on Sunday afternoon, August II.
This will be the great day in camp for
visitors, as they will be able to see all
the maneuvers from the surrounding
hills without difficulty. The big field
where these will take place is magnifi-
Gently situated for sightseers The Fiji
teenth Infantry is giving a concert to-

MARKET STREET FIRE
SHROUDED IN MYSTERY
Flames Supposed to Have Been
Caused by an Incendiary May
Lead to Arrests. ~

Mystery and suspicion cloud the
origin of a fire which last night badly
gutted the second floor of the two
story frame building at 1866 Market
street. An investigation by the au-
thorities may result in a criminal
prosecution for arson. From informa-
ton given to the police by John Soder-
quist, quartermaster of the lighthouse
tender Madrona, the fire appears to
have been the work of an incendiary.
Soderquist and a companion named
Gustafson were walking past the
building about 9:45 o'clock and de-
tected smoke issuing from the door
way. Soderquist rushed up the stair
way and found the steps blazing with
oil. A quart can Of kerosene was
blazing furiously near the top of the
stairs, and, seizing this he rushed to
the street. Conrad Michel of 313
Francisco street and Gustave Lndner
of the river steamer T. c. Walker,
who were standing on the sidewalk
corroborate SoderQuist's story.
An alarm was turned in from box
10. On the arrival of the department
the flames were found shooting
through the roof, but the fire was soon
brought under control. An investi-
cation showed that the flames had
started in the rear of the building and
swept through the hall, doing con-
dicate that it may have been started
In two places at the same time.
That portion of the building to
which the fire was confined is occupied
by Miss L. Dean, who conducts d
rooming house and bath parlors. Her
establishment was gutted by fire about
year ago. She says that the origin
of the fire is mystery to her. Ac-
cording to her statement she was in
one Of the rooms and upon discovering
the flames crawled through a window
to a neighboring roof. The damage
will exceed $1,000. Miss Dean carried
$40O insurance on her furniture.

CROPS HARVESTED.
Farm Work Generally Well
Advanced.


Work OF threshing and marketing
the crops on Camas Prairie ia fully
two weeks ahead of what it USUALLY
is at this season Of the year and
the good weather of the past two
months has not only enabled the
farmer to save his crop in the best
possible manner, but also to get a
large portion Of it to market.
Threshing is practically all done
and while the yield is not az large
% some anticipated, the quality is
Of the best and will command top
price in the market. Much grain
has already been hauled to the
railroad and tram ways and prices
received are very satisfactory.
Owing to the lower price OF hogs
and cattle there will be much more
grain sold than usual, yet many
farmers are feeding considerable
stock. The extreme dry weather,
while favorable for some kinds Of
farm work has made pasture very
short and . good rain would now
be beneficial. No fall blowing can
be done until the heavy rains be-
gin, but in the mean time farmers
will have an opportunity to get
we'll along with their. hauling.

A Business College.


DR.. Green is maturing plans fol
. night school at the Young Mems
Christian Association this winter.
II 10 expected there will be four in
structors and q complete business
course will be taught. This is q
regular part Of the association work
in all cities and the only reason
that q course has not been taken
up here before has been the lack
Of thoroughly competent instruct
ors. This is now overcome and
arrangements are about completed
to commence work the first Of next
month. The entire course will be
under the supervision Of the Inter-
national Committee Of the Young
Mems Christian Association at
New York. That committee sup
cruises the work all over America,
designatee length Of terms, studies
to ba taken, prepares all examine
tions, correcting them and giving
grades and issuing q regular d.
ploma to al those passing the re-
q1ired percent. This method has
all the benefits Of the correspon-
dence schools with the extra ad-
vantage Of affording home in
struct0r, and costs the student
much less and when the course is
finished satisfactorily he receives a
diploma from An institution that
is as widely known a. the most re-,
nowned college or uuiver sity.
Last year there were in the Y. NJ.
g. A. schools in the United States
alone 50, 1871 students or more than
there were in eight Of our largest
universities. Grangeville affords
. fine field for this department of
the Y. M. G. A. work, there being
in this county . very large per-
centage Of young men who have
either lost their opportunity or per-
hays never had one, to gain an edu-
cation. Many young men would
gladly avail themselves offs oppor-
tunity to 60 to school but the
public school necessitates their be-
ing classed with 60 much younger
students which fact together with
their backwardness places them in
an extremely awkward position.
The Y. M. G. A. night school
obviates all these objections, and
affords the young man under en-
ployment to use his spare moments
during the day to the study Of some
educational branch and devote the
evenings to recitations thus better
qualifying himself for some higher
position. The arguments advanced
in favor of the night school for
young men are equally good for
young women, and it is proposed
to afford opportunity for both at |
the Y. M. G. A. There are some
thirty or forty young men and
women in Grangsville who will |
doubtless take advantage of this
school and as soon rs the fact |
becomes better known many will
come from the surrounding mining
camps and outside points.
The branches taken up this
winter will be full business course
consisting of q single and double
sntry bookkeeping, commercial
law, arithmetic, spelling and writ
ing, and also q course in stenog-
Apply and typewriting. The fees
IRE to be placed as low as is con-
'istent with good work. Several
Young men and women have ex-
their Intentions of joining
he school already. Those desiring
urther information should call on
n write to DR.. Green at the Y. NJ.
