RESPONSIBLE FOR ACTION
Company L Left Without Head Of

Compelled to Elect a Successor
Company Has Been Successful Un-
der His Administration - Doctor
Has Military Record.

| Captain NJ. S. Kern has rendered
his resignation as commander of com
pany l. and the same is now in tn,
hands of the adjutant general. Al
soon as acted upon by the proper au'
thorities it will be up to the loca
guardsmen to endorse another for the
post that has been vacated.
The resignation of Captain Kern
was given over two weeks ago and al
that time was sent to Captain John
son, adjutant of the third regiment
1t is now being passed through the
regular military channel to the gov.
ernor's office. Nothing is yet known
as to the action that will be taken, but
it is presumed that after due time II
will be accepted and a successor APP
pointed.
Press of Business.
In his letter of resignation Captain
Kern stated that he wishes to leave
the guard because of the press of pri-
vate business Aside from his dental
practice in this city he has heavy in
terests in the west end of the county
and also much. property in Harney
county. Because of this he found he
would be unable to go with the COM
pany to American Lake this summer
and so with much regret he decided
to tender his resignation. The admin.
1t was organized over a year ago Cap
quires much time and attention on the
part of the captain.
AS commander of company L since
he was member Of Minnesota
tain Kern has been very successful.
During that time the company has
been made into what is reputed the
crack company of the third regiment
and the organization is now in better
condition than at any time since 1t
was formed.
1t is recruited up almost to the
maximum and in general training and
company spirit is perhaps unsurpass-
ed by any company in the state. Much
of the company's success is due to the
hard and earnest work of the captain.
who is personally popular with the
other members of the company, who
regret to see him leave the service.
During seven years of his life CAP.
tain Kern has been enlisted either as
a guardsman or a volunteer in the
service of his country. For five years
he was a member ofa Minnesota
guard company and during the Span
ish-American war he was with a vol
unteer regiment in the army that was
taken to Porto Rico by General Miles.
He has had over years experience as
captain of company l. and when he
resigns will have had a military rec
ord of which any citizen might well
be proud.

With the opening Of portion Of
the east Umatilla project and with
the lands OF three private irrigation
projects now upon the market, things
are becoming interesting in the west
end and the transformation that is
now on in that section Of the county Is
wonderful.
AS though the breath Of life had
come with the water that now trick
les through the distributing bitches OF
the Hermiston country the land has
been awakened from its long sleep
and signs of life may now be seen on
every hand.
Yesterday was the first Sunday the
excursion rates have been in effect
between Pendleton and Hermiston,
and quite a number made the trip to
the little project city and from there
out to the dam. The weather yester-
day was ideal, being free from wind,
and those who made the trip enjoyed
il.
There is every indication that the
excursions will grow in popularity,
for they have good livery teams at
Hermiston and the drive to the res
ervoir is one that those who have
made it do not regret.
About the Publicity Bureau.
Among the realty men of Hermis-
ton there is considerable interest in
the meeting that is to be held here
Thursday and in the general propo-
sltion of raising a fund for a county
publicity bureau. Yesterday four or
five of the principal Hermistonians
declared their intentions of attend
ing the real estate mems meeting II
possible for the INTO do so.
Among those who are active in the
west end affairs there is feeling OF
antipathy towards Pendleton because
of the attitude of some local people
towards the project.
Some of the most vicious knocks
that l have ever heard against this
section of the country have been
given in Pendleton," declared one
prominent real estate man at Her
miston yesterday. Most people there
do not understand the situation here
and do not take the trouble to learn.
1t is strange, but the people who live
right adjoining this project do not
show anything like the interest or
appreciation that those from abroad
do.
According to the same man, 1t has
been q general rule in the past that
when a prospective homeseeker stops
off in Pendleton he is "queered" as
far as the government project is con-
cerned by things he is told by people
who are ignorant upon the subject or
else by curbstone real estate men
who knock the project for another
purpose.
Because of this feeling towards this
city the Hermistonians declare they
were not greatly surprised at the fall
ure to raise a publicity fund at the
Tom Richardson meeting. They do
not seem to resent the seeming fall
ure of the publicity. bureau move as
much as they do the general apathy
of Pendleton towards the west end.
However, they have been invited to
this city to attend meeting which
is intended to work for the welfare
of the irrigated section and they say
they will come. But they will come
with faint hopes of getting anything
out of Pendleton, though they are
willing to be shown" that this city

VARIETIES OF COLLEGE GOWNS
Distinctions In Styles That Mark the
Grade Of the Wearer.

It has been said that few people, in
GLIDING many university men them
selves. have any definite idea Of the
meaning of the gowns worn by collegi-
ate students.
In America. university gowns exhibit
much variety. there being a great DIFF
ference in the various institutions; but
all over the country-in fact, all over
the English-speaking world--certain
distinctions hold.
The ordinary bachelors gown, the
first the student owns. is of unadorned
black. with pointed sleeves. and Is or
dinarily mad, of serge or other simple
black fabric. The masters gown Is like
the students. inas much as 1t Is plain
black; but the sleeves are cut differ
emily. being long pendants shaped not
unlike fish tails. and hanging from the
elbows nearly to the bottom of the
gown. The masters gown may be
made OF silk, as may also the bach.

long academic standing who has hap
pened to'receive no higher degree; but

and occupied that early frontier which
Iowa was in 1919, and established the
nrst army post west of the Missouri
river. The regiment had engagements
agair1t the Indians in the west. and
later hard lighting in Florida. It was
well represented in the war with Mexi.
CO. and again in the Indian campaigns
along the border, which was then
steadily creeping westward. In the
civil war the Sixth infantry took part
In many battles and incurred heavy
losses. After that war there was more
Indian fighting, and recent history has
included service by the regiment in
Cuba and two periods Of duty in the
philippines. The review of q hundred
years proved to be Of inspiring inter.
est to those who now compose the
regiment.
