A BUSINESS MAN IN THE
LEGISLATURE.
J. P. MARTIN

Josephine county has the oppor-
tunity tomorrow to cast its vote for
a business man for the legislature.
Nr. voorhies has not just now dis
covered Josephine county and her
varied resources, but he has been
connected with the development OF
southern Oregon for the past 81
years. As a business man he has
aided in whatever seemed best for
the community. and has cheerfully
borne his part in the burden Of that
development As a legislator, Mr.
voorhies will give the affairs Of the
state the same careful attention that
he has given his own. and reduced
taxation win be his aim, because
excessive taxation has become a han
dicap in the progress Of every com
munity in the state.
OF especial interest to the people
OF southern Oregon is the admins
tration OF the state highway depart
ment. Good roads are OF the first
Importance in such a county as Jose
phine. for better highways are needed
that the miner, the lumberman and
the farmer can market his product
and develop his holdings. The road
is the real artery over which flows
the industrial life OF the community.
As legislator, Nr. voorhies will
aim to improve the highway building
department and to seek for a Just
and efficient expenditure OF the road
funds. Josephine county is vitally
interested in the good roads question.

training for citizens of the United
States by promoting n national sys-
TEN oil training camps and by such
other means as may he advisable"
This new association, national in
scope, Will be restricted to men who
nave actually attended regular army
military camps. 1t starts with a mem
bership of $500 men. The growth
OF this association with the con-
tinuance Of the camps will inevitably
promote a single strong national or
ganization of citizen militia. III legis-
latlve propaganda will be avoided and
the association will he selfsupporting.
Whom the Camps Draw On
1t has been estimated that there are
IN the United States between the ages
OF ~ and % over 100000 men fit
for service, 100000 of these being in
the colleges alone. 1t is entirely feas-
ible to bring the "Plattsburg idea
directly to the attention OF over l.
100000 college, business, high school
and professional men. TO give these
men four or five weeks Il year with
intensive military instructions under
officers of the Regular Army is the
aim OF the military training camp
Ihere are no strings attached to these
camps and no obligation TO defend
ones country in case OF need is placed
upon the participant beyond the con-
stitutional obligation which has al
ways rested upon all male citizens of
military age.
Roughly speaking the qualifications
Tor admission TO the camps are that
the applicant must be a graduate or
Undergraduate of college or miver-
Sity, student in public or private
school, or any other citizen between
the ages of q and 45 who has qualif
cations or experience equivalent to
such an education. The expense at

when the automobile in which he was
riding collided with another car. Mr..
Taft's machine was only slightly dam
aged, but the other car was wrecked.
There has been an easy amalgama-
ton OF the Irish with our American

They have added much to the COM

European stocks. They have softened
the American wit. They have added

At the American Red Cross lunch
con yesterday Taft said:
I'VE are going to Mexico and for a
short time. They have been delaying
the advance in order to prepare. l
might venture to say that some of the
delay is due to preparedness for Red
Cross work. There is a saying that
the Lord helps those who help them
selves and / am afraid that this coun-
try will some time get jolt that will
disturb it in its self f-complacency."

miles with heavy packs on our backs.
Struck water in the process of digging
trenches and grovelled in the mud.
Wednesday-July 2S:
Last day of camp before leaving on
eight-day hike, dawned clear. Spent
the morning of the day cleaning up
odds and ends packing trunks and
preparing for weeks march. Received
instructions in putting up shelter tents
which we are 10 use during the march.
Each man carries half a tent in his
pack and when the two halves COM
bine to make a single pup" tent there
is just about space for two men to
lie comfortably on the ground and be
protected.
Thursday-July 90:
Broke camp and in the form of a
regular army we retreated in the d.
rection of Ausable Chasm. The
enemy are holding the region around
Plattsburg. Marched IL miles and set
up camp for the rest of the day and
night. Met slight resistance from the
enemy's cavalry, which is composed
of regulars located at the Plattsburs
barracks. Appetites enormous by this
time. Weather hot but cool little
stream runs at foot OF the hill where
we are camped. No real fighting to-
day. Band concert by the band of
the Thirtieth Infantry. Went into
little town where we were served
lemonade by the townspeople.
Friday-July so:
made up of blankets and poncho none
too warm. Mother Earth little hard
first night. Responsibilities are in
cfeasing. Efficiency and speed in
everything are the watchwords. Our
squad happened to be the reserve of
the advance guard so we were COM
PEELED to deploy as skirmishers into
the field along the road and advance
through bushes. Made ten miles on
this mornings march.
Saturday-July 81:
Black Rock our objective point.
Made eleven miles on macadam road
under "a hot sun before getting in
touch with the enemy. Cut off from
the location selected as camp by the
two cavalry squads of the enemy. We
deployed by platoons and spent a long
hour crawling at u snai's pace in short
advances. Orders given for rafting
lllS at OUO-NdIO range. u llldlly got
close enough to fix bayonets and only
the fear of running a farmers potato
patch prevented a charge =
And so on for five more days, covering
approximately IL or II miles a day
and fighting at the end of each
march. Afternoons devoted to swim
ming and resting.
Friday-August 6:
Prospects of getting back TO camp
and real bunk raised off the ground
gave us new life. Made a rapid
march for 6 miles with frequent
pauses while the advance guard drove
off our hostile patrols. Finally about
10 o'clock arrived at a point two miles
outside of Plattsburg. Hundreds of
townspeople out to see the final
fight Scrapped for half hour or so
and finally dislodged the regulars by
n bayonet charge. Marched into
camp at Plattsburg with the band
playing and every man at attention.
Very inspiring. Reached camp at
noon, formally ending the months
work.

these camps is $50 for those in the
senior division and $22.5O for those
in the Junior division, exclusive of
uniforms and railroad fare. the former
oil which costs approximately $40.
Stress Laid on Personal Hygiene
AT these camps" saws General
wood, great stress is laid upon per-
sohal hygiene ana camp sanitation and
a serious effort is made TO teach men
how to take care of themselves in
camp and at maneuvers as well as TO
lamlllariZe them with the use of
arms. The whole effect of these
camps has been excellent both from
the standpoint of increasing the sense
OF each mans responsibility to the
nation for service and his obligation
10 ilt himself to render it effectively
and efficiently"
AS to the question of any conflict of
interest or of effort between the or
CARNATIONS of national guard and the
training camps for college and busi-
nessmen, John +. Organ, Major Cen
eral of the National Guard of New
York State states emphatically thai
the training regiments have been of
decided benefit to the national guard
at least in New York. There are
many men for whom the summer
training camps are far more conven
lent than the amount of time demand
ed for service in the national guard
and it is fact that a very consider
able number of men from Plattsburg
camps have Joined organizations of
the New York division, some as com
missioned officers and some as enlisted
men.

The attitude of the people of the

more and more favorable towards pre-
piLredneSs against war. a feeling which
the Mexican situation has intensified
10 such degree that headuuarters of

requests for information of all sorts
relative TO enlistment in the various
ORGANIZATIONS such as machine gun
companies, artillery batteries and

DIVISION of the United States Army.

Inc lew years in which it has been in
operation. The first camp which will
he held this year, along the lines laid
out by General Wood at the Gettys-
burg camp in 1913 and subsequently
at the Plattsburg camp the two fol-
lowing years, will open on the third
Of April. This camp will be held at
Fort Ogelthorpe in the State of
Georgia for the purpose of accom-
modating those men for whom it is
lhconVenient to make the trip as far
north as Plattsburg, y. Y. General
Wood has estimated that more than
lJ,VOO men viii by next September
have attended the nine camps that
VIII be held this year-four at Fort
pgelthorpe and five at Plattsburg.
Growth of the Camps
In July 1913 the first training
camp of the Regular Army for college
pand high school students was held on
the field at Gettysburg. The original
plan was part of the effort to arouse
the young men of the nation to a
sense of their military responsibility
or in the words of General Wood:
BY their ability and readiness to
render manhood service in the cause
of national defense" In 1913 a stu
dents camp was also held at Monterey,
Cal. and in 1914 and 1915 similar
camps were held in various parts OF
the country.
In June 1915 the movement spread
10 the younger professional and busi-
nessmen and the camp for them was
held in August of that year, subse-
quent demand being Sc great that a
september camp was of necessity ar
ranged to accommodate those who
could not get to the other camp. In
directly the Plattsburg idea brought
about a similar camp at Fort Sheri-
dan, ILL.,, attended by 500 men.
out of these camps grew the so
ciety of the National Reserve Corps"
instituted for the purpose of promot-
ing the training camp idea and sup
porting a sound military policy. Still
later there has been organized the
Military Training Camps Association
of the United States" for the purpose
of encouraging reasonable military

BURKE TRIPS AROUND
 GITY'S STREETS
Famous Actress and One of FiImdom Stars Likes Juneau Immensely
 She Says.
BLANCHE RING IS HERE

Juneau quietly entertained last night, while the Prince George was in port, two of the famous actresses and stage beauties Of the American stage. namely Billy Burke and Blanche Ring. The two women are on their summer vacations and came north for the trip for recreation and rest.
 Last night they expressed then selves as being amazed with Alaska and the up-to-date towns to be found along the Alaskan coast.
 Alaska is nothing like l expected to find it," said Bile Burke or Mrs. Woods as she is billed on the pas senger list, with toss of her titan covered head.
 Tt is simply grand and magnt ficent We expected to find ice and rock bound coasts here. We did find plenty of iccbergs, but nothing like we expected. Your towns are very up-to.date and some of your stores will compare very favorably with those of cities Of one hundred times the population in the states. It seems to be country of wonder full things and want to see more of 1t. Some day | shall return to Alaska and when do shall have more time to spend"
 While here the two ladies visited Goldstein's Emporium and invested heavily in a stock of furs, including a large number Of crminc and a set of black fox skins.
 Miss Burke is the wife of Flo Ziegiield. the great theatrical man of the east. former husband Of Anna Held. Miss Burke has only been in pictures for about a year but none have been shown here.
 Miss Ring is a well known star but has not yet fallen for the nov ing picture game.
