Heirs of Old Soldiers Required So
to DO to Complete Title.
Portland, Or, July 2l.-A special
TO the Telegram from Walla Walla says
According to decision just received
at the local land Office, the widows and
orphans of old soldiers will in future
be compelled to complete their title to
homesteads by living on the land the
same length of time that would have
been required of the soldier or sailor
Heretofore widows and children of de-
ceased soldiers were allowed to prove
up on land without actually living
upon the same the full time. Under
the new ruling they will be compelled
TO actually reside on the land for a full
five years, only deducting from that
time the amount of time that the hus-
band or father served in the army.
If the soldier or sailor died while
actually engaged in the service, how
ever, this ruling will not apply. This
order goes into effect at once and all
persons who have made entries are to
be notified Immediately. If they fail
to comply with the provision within
sixty days their entries will be held
Tor cancellation. The ruling will affect
a large number of families of soldiers
in Oregon and Washington.

STORY WAS WILD
CAVALRY CHARGE AT AMERICAN
LAKE EXAGGERATED.
General Funston Intimates That
Principal Damage Done Was
On Paper--.Matter will BE In.
vestisated Because Orders We're
Not Followed.

Camp Murray, July 2O.-Officers of
guard of Washington are united in pro-
nouncing the story of the disaster
wrought by the cavalry charge of last
Saturday much exaggerated Said
Gen. Funston:
1.-The story was grossly exaggerated.
The amount of truth in it was so small
as to make it a negative quantity AS
a matter of fact, no man was badly
hurt, all the injuries being of so trivial
a nature that they might have been
acquired in drill, much less maneu-
vers. Now that it has been given no.
toriety, however, it has been deemed
we'll to investigate the exact facts.
This will be done.
THE charge was a mistake, and in
riding into the lines of infantry the
men were guilty of violation of or
ders, which directed all charges to
halt within 100 yards of the enemy
The investigation is not because any
body was hurt, because | do not con-
slider any one was hurt, but because
some one might have been hurt.
Maj. Ebert, chief surgeon of the di-
vision, who was present at the forego-
ing conversation, said:
''The tale that men were badly cut
and bruised is absolutely without foun-
dalton. One man, it is true, did assert
that he had been badly hurt on the leg,
and SO came under medical treatment.
A close examination of him at the hos
pital. however, an hour after the
charge, failed to reveal the slightest
trace of a bruise on the leg he asserted
was injured, or anywhere else on his
body. In ordinary artillery drill at
Vancouver barracks more men are in
jured and injured worse, though none
of them seriously, than in the whole
maneuver of Saturday.
Gen. Drain Satisfied.
Adjt Gen Drain, of this state, who
was present, said:
81 endorse what Gen. Funston has
said. No Washington man was at all
badly hurt. 1t is true that the cav
airy came into the infantry lines, and
that one cavalry horse was killed by
another, as stated in the papers, but to
assert that the cavalry deliberately
tried to injure national guardsmen in
the charge is untrue. | have investl
gated the matter, and am satisfied that
the cavalrymen had no desire to do
bodily harm, and that such few bruises
as bewere incurred were the result of
the excitement and the rush of trying
10 get away.
"The cavalry horses apparently be-
came unmanageable and went into the
infantry. The infantry tried to es-
cape, and some We're bumped. 1t is
nothing unusual or strange. The same
thing frequently occurs in drills and
maneuvers and creates no comment
whatever. | have no doubt that MEM
bers of the field artillery in the maneu-
vers just closed suffered much more
serious injury without a word being
said about it, -

Care of the Farm HOrse.

During the busy months of the year
farmers are anxious to get all the work
possible out of their horses. which is
proper enough. Food alone will not do
the trick. A horse may be fed the
best of rations, but he needs care in
addition, so try these things which
may seem simple, but which will do Il
great deal toward making the horse
cOntented and more valuable to you.
Keep his coat clean. not only by
brushing and the use of the comb, but
use water on him freely, especially
during the warm period. When his
work for the day is done take sponge
and wash each part of his coat where
the harness touched. If his muscles
are sore take equal parts of iodine and
sweet oil, mix them and rub the mix
ture well into the joints and tendons
Wash out his mouth occasionally and
take care Of his feet. Above all, In
warm weather see that his stable Is
we'll ventilated and that screens are
placed so that vermn are kept from
annoying him. In watering the horse
let him have 1t before eating and also
small supply between meals even
If he Is warm. 1t will not hurt him
unless you give him too much.

but try 1t once. You will be surprised
at the suddenness of your sittings.
You can stand on either leg and
wrestle with the other. Some prefer
the right leg to stand on. thinking 1t
firmer. but a well-developed boy
should find no difference.
Direct pulling seldom wins the bat
tie. 1t takes better generalship than
that A pull would merely make the
other boy hop a little and give you a
chance to fall forward. You might
try a quick swing to the right. Your
opponent will then swing to his right
to balance; then jerk your foot sud
denly toward you and you will have
n chance to crow over the other fell
low as he hits the ground and won
ders what happened to him.
Another trick isif your adversary
should swing his leg far to the right.
forcing you to your left. you should
hop quickly to the left. Then hop
forward, pushing your ankle against
his, and unless he has been as quick
as you he will tumble over to the left,
and, kerflop-there he Is on the
ground again!
NOnreslStance Is a good policy, too.
Get your opponent tired out without
fighting him. and then n little shove
or Jerk will do the business.

Potato Cultivation.

Those who have tried the plan OF
cutvating the potato field, even to the
point that some growers would pro-
nounce excessive have found that it
pays we'll There can be no possible
doubt but that frequent cultivation.
especially during the period In which
the top growth Is being made, gives
the growing tuber a chance to get all
the possible benefits of moisture and
heat with the desired result The
first civilizations should be close to
the plant and to some considerable
depth: later CIVILIZATIONS are farther
from the plant and quite shallow, but
this last sort of cultivation is kept
up all through the growing period. IL
the plan seems new to you try 1t OH
a small scale and note the results.
Especially is it worth trying on a field
where the application of fertilizer has
not been as heavy as ii should have
been; at harvest time compare the re-
suits from this field with those from
a field that has been better fertllzcd,
but not so frequently cultivated. You
will then have proof of the adage that
"cultivaton is manure"

Buff Orpinxton Breed.
For many years the one desire OF
the practical poutryman has been to
obtain breed which would equal the
Leghorn in egg production and the
Plymouth Rock as a table fowl. 1t Is
claimed that the Buff Orpington Is
that breed and certainly it has done
wonders since its Introduction into this
country from England. The fowls
are exceedingly attractive and the pull

usual to pullets of most breeds.
An average weight for bird at ma
turlty Is nine to ten pOunus, hence 1t
is evident that as table fowl they
will closely approach the famed Ply

the Leghorn and they make excellent
mothers. They appear to be quite as
hardy as the Plymouth Rock. hence

Cooked food fattens quickly, prob.

When it can be done, the poultry
house should have two rooms-one for

While sour milk Is relshed by the
hens. it should not be made a substi.

Dust the sitting hens with insect

Hens will rarely eat their eggs f

AGREEMENT REACHED IN PACK

Companies Agree to Submit Diff

Chicago, July 2l.-The strike of
packing house employees, begun nine
days ago, and which has demoralized
the packing industry throughout the
country, has been settled at confer
ence between representatives of the
packers, the officials of the meat cut
ters union and representatives of all
tine allied trades employed at the stock
yards. The whole controversy will be
both sides agreeing to abide by what
ever decision the board may make.
Pending the decision of the arbi-
tration board the men will be taken
back to work as rapidly as posi- BILE by
the packers, and it is agreed by the
packers that all the old employees are
to be reinstated within As days from
the date work is resumed. 1t any of
the former employees are still unem-
ployed at the expiration of that time,
such persons are to have the privilege
of submitting their cases to the arbi-

Were on strike. Half an hour after
the decision had been reached to arbi-
trate, NJ. j. Donnelly, the strike leader
had gotten into communication by
long distance telephone with the lead
ers of the strikers in outside cities,
and had notified them that satisfac-
tory settlement had been reached, and
directed the strikers to return to work
as soon as possible
The settlement of the difficulty by
arbitration was brought about 10y the
allied crafts at the stockyards, who
would have become involved in the
controversy had it lasted much longer.
The representatives of the unions
which include about IA 900 men, got
together Tuesday and sent final APP
peal to the packers, asking for three
sided conference Wednesday between
the packers, the strikers and them
selves, in an effort to arrange some
sort of agreement which would pre-
vent the strike spreading to the afil-
lated unions. This appeal'of the al
lied trades unions received IA favorable
response from the packers, and yester-
days conference was the result.
