THE city OF Douglas has reached a

icIent revenue TO entltle 1t TO free de-
livery OF the mails. Before the post
ONCE department will establish free
delivery It requires the town TO be
well supplied with sidewalks, and the
streets named and numbered. The
city council was called on to see that
this was done. Before the council had
complied with this there arose a most
violent objection TO the establishment
OF free delivery. Some OF the merch-
ants doing business near the postonice
set mp a howl. declaring that nearly all
their trade came from people going TO
and coming from the p0stOfice, and
that II free delivery was established
they would have TO 20 out Of business.
They put their opposition into the
shape OF protests and endeavored to
secure signatures, and the funny part
OF the thing was that the people really
did sign the protests, not many, 70 be
sure, but there were some residents Of
what claims TO be the youngest and

MISS ROOSEVELT SOON TO MAR.
RY OHIO CONGRESSMAN,
FRIENDS SAY.

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. Bore
turning members of the Taft party
that visited the Philippines and the
orient say that the romance in which
Miss Alice Roosevelt and Represents
tive Nicholas Longworth of Ohio are
the principal figures seems likely to
find it's natural conclusion at the altar
at no distant day, when Miss Roosevelt
will become Mrs. Longworth. II
Congressman Longworth is mil-
lionaire, and the match is considered
suitable In every respect. He has been
attentive to Miss Roosevelt at all times
during the trip, and is said to have
rescued Miss Roosevelt from perileus
situation in side trip which some
members of the party took to this
island of Mindanao.
Miss Roosevelt, Representative
Longworth and some other members
of the party that went from here did
not return on the Korea, but prolonged
their stay in the orient in order to
visit Pekin and Seoul. They will re-
turn on the Siberia.

stration made on Idaho day was the
greatest ever made on tho grounds
The parade was fully mile long, the
people from north and south Idaho
marching with banners representing
all parts Of the state, from the Brit.
ish possessions of the north to the
Nevada state line on the south, The
enthusiasm was unbounded. The pa
rade was led by the Idaho State band,
an organization called together from
all parts of Idaho. Few realized that
this band never practiced together
more than two or three times until it
came to Portland. 1t was, without
eauivocation, the finest outside state
band ever heard In Portland. The peo-
pie of Lewiston showed their loyalty
by sending band of their own. 1t
was good band, too.
idaho day was largely in the ma
ture of a family reunion. Our people
from the north end of the state came
down in big party. We met and
clasped hands. never before realiz-
ed how really great Idaho was. until
beheld the vast crowd of enthusiast
tic representatives from the north and
south gathered together to do honor
to the gem of the mountains, whose
people met in another state to show
the world q little of their richness and
worthiness."

Des Moines, Oct 2.-Adjutaat
General Thrift at the state house is
in receipt of an interesting query from
National Guard soldier. 1t is to this
effect:
MAY a National Guardsman hold
his place in the guard and at the same
time enlist in the regular army?'
OF course he cannot and the young
man was so informed by the adjutant
general A soldier SO complicated in
his obligations would be placed in a
very embarrassing position If some
night at II o'clock he were routed out
and ordered to mobilize at two differ
ent and distinct places.
Adjutant General Thrift has had
some large sized photographs of the
recent National Guard camps in Des
Moines framed and they now hang In
his office, in row, displaying some
idea of the dignity of the organiza-
ton. The pictures were taken of eacbf
regiment when it encamped here and
are of the same size and style, so that
they make very handsome sympos-

TO LEPER COLONY EXIT PHYSICIAN
RECRUITING OFFICER MUST Ex-
ANIME CANDIDATES FOR AR
MY INSTEAD OF DOCTOR.
New Regulations Do Away With the
Services Of an Examining Physician
and Authorizes Army Officers to Ex-
anime All Recruits.

THE abolition of civilian physicians
as examiners of recruits at stations of
the general recruiting service will
mean decrease in the number of &C.
copied candidates for the army" says
Corporal ]. ]. Foley, in charge of the
local recruiting station.
by the new regulation, If medical
officer OF the army is not available,
these examinations are to be conducted
by the recruiting officer. AS a rule
these officers have little medical
knowledge, and by provision in the
general orders dealing with this ques-
ton they are made responsible for de-
fectiye recruits who may be enlisted.
Accordingly, they will be too particular
and reject all except those they are
absolutely sure of. Moreover instead
OF sending our recruits direct to the
barracks, as we have been doing, we
will he obliged to send them to Fort
Des Moines, where the examination
will be completed, and whence they
will be sent to their destinations"
The new order will become effective
today. DR.. A. O. Williams has been
employed in the past to examine re-
cruits enlisting at the local station.
This work will be done by Corporal
Foley with the assistance of Private
P. ]. Karpey, Corporal Foley will be
required to detect all apparent defects.
Under this category comes lack of free
use Of the limbs or joints, inability to
read test cards at the required dis
lance, defective hearing in either ear,
impediments In speech, defective teeth,
defornlities, skin diseases, shortness
Of breath, marked palpitation of the
heart, etc. Varieose veins, corns, bun
ions, flat feet and hammer toes are
considered defects when they exist to
a marked degree, but are very COM
mon among men who lead the most
active life, and when they exist only
In minor degree should not be re-
garded as defects.
While line officer Is not expected
to detect errors of refraction Of the
eye, valvular LESSONS of the heart, tu-
berculosis, Bright's disease or other
obscure internal affections, he is re-
minded that these diseases usually
give rise to signs, such as defective
vision, shortness of breath, emacia,
ton and tumultuous beating of the
heart, and should judge the recruit
according to these latter symptoms.
If a recruiting officer enlists man
who has q serious defect which should
be discernible to the laymen 1t will be
regarded as neglect of examination
and the offender is held responsible.
