Governors Troop of Cavalry

Mount Gretn2. Pa. June 26.-Be-
tween and $50 o'clock yesterday
morning the twelve troops constituting
the First Regiment of United States
Volunteer Cavalry. of which the Gov
ernor's Troop. of Harrisburg. is part.
arrived at Camp Brumbaugh. The

road from the little town of Colebrook.
q probably a half mile or so from the
location of the Fourth Brigade of In
fantry. with which the Eighth Regi-
ment of Infantry Gncluding Com
panies D and I. of Harrisburg) is con-
nected. The cavalrymen are only a
short distance from the Colebrook sta
tion on the Lebanon and Cornwall
railroad.
The Governors Troop arrived
shortly before Q o'clock, but did not
set its canvas ana camp equipage from
the railroad siding until about 2
o'clock. Before dusk. however. they
had their camp erected, tents occu-
pied, cook fires burning and all ar
langements possible made for the com
fort of the eighty-two officers and men
of the command.
Lack OF horses is a serious incon-
Venience and handicap to the cavalry
men, as they have their entire kit of
horse equipment to take along wher-
ever the troop goes Saddle, Bride

WANTED---A MAYOR
SALARY NO OBJECT
One With No Feelings To Be
Hurt or Pride To Be

Several prominent citizens seem to
be side stepping the nomination for
mayor of the beautiful city of Salem.
Since Harley o. White came to the
decision tnaJ lie had done his bit in
the way of serving the community as
alderman for two years and two wears
more as mayor, there has been a gen
eral casting around for safe and
sane candidate and at the same time
one who would ginger up things and
give plenty of his time to city affairs
just for the honor of the Job.
Yesterday number of prominent
citizens called on Lot. l.. Pearce with
the suggestion that he do the patriotic
act and permit the mention of his
name on strictly non partisan ticket.
Mr. Pearce couldn I see it in the same
light as some of his friends, although
there are hopes vet that he will re.
consider his first refusal.
w. w. Moore of the Moore furniture
store also has had delegations calling
ON him with the gentle suggestion that
he was the right man for the Job and
as yet there is nothing definite as to
whether he would or would not con.

Hal ID. Patton is also among those
prominently mentioned.' II is re.

that he has done his bit for the city,

A fight has begun by the Oregon Ag-

ricultural College against the Califor-
nit peach blight which is becoming a
serious proposition in the willamette
valley. To determine just what spray
is most effective, experiments in spray
ing began yesterday under the direc-
tion of the o. A. C.. when Otto II. FL
mer made the first application at the
George w. Weeks orchards, two miics
north east of the city. The secol q
spraying will be made November 10.
All the prunes in the Sunnyside district
where experiments were carried on for
six months, have been picked and a
record made of the fruits taken from
different sections of the orchard. This
report will later be published by the
O. A. C. showing the effect ON the
trees and fruit of the various spraying.

The total enrolment of the city pub
lie schools yesterday was 1865, about
$50 less than the enrolment of one
year ago. This difference is probably
due TO the fact that schools opened ear

.ount of the hop picking season being
ten days to two weeks later than a
year ago. In the elementary grades,
the pupils number 1917, in the three
