Of SATURDAY.
THE idea of pulling the escort wagon
over the water resulted from an expert
cnce of General Parker when he was col
onel Of the Eleventh cavalry in Cuba. The
regiment was on march and encountered
a swollen river There was only small
ferry. ON this ferry an attempt was
made 10 cross an escort wagon. Half way
across the stream the wagon tumbled on
the little ferry. and il was discovered that
the vehicle floated. Fortunately there
was rope on the wagon. II was tied TO
the wagon and thus it was pulled ashore
From this incident IL seemed possible to
pull q wagon across any ordinary river
before ii could fill The balance of the
wagons were crossed in this manner. the
loads being taken across on the ferry.

WOOL MARKET SHOWS
HEALTHY CONDITION
Demand Is Strong and Prices
for Valley Are From 30
to 32 Cents

The wool market shows a healthy
condition; and there appears to be no
ground .Or statements made in certain
newspapers that there is a combination
among buyers to keep prices, down.
Valley wool is to a great extent being
held by the growers, most of whom
want 80 cents a pound, and this is so
much more than the buyers are will
ing to pay for it that it is difficult
to tell when any will be sold.
VIM. Brown, Salem wool merchant,
stated in an interview with a Capital
Journal representative this morning
that valley woods started off rather
high this year, comparing prices here
at the buying with the real selling
values in Boston. Growers and farm
ers generally looked for a repetition
of the mohair business. This failed to
materialize, and at present values are
about on a partly with tine eastern mar
ket. Locally, prices are quoted 30
cents for coarse and 80 cents for me-
dium. Valley woods have been very
disappointing in condition, no doubt
caused by our hard winter. However,
that has nothing to do with the care
lessness of putting up the wool. Most
of the coarse wool comes in with
dung tags weighing pound or more
to the fleece This is depIorable and
causes dealers a heavy loss, as all tags
must be removed before baling or the
wool will be rejected in Boston or a
heavy reduction made. Also a great
deal of the coarse wool comes in wet
and often is packed, in this condition,
causing heat and rot. These things
work eventually against the farmer in
price. Every farmer should carefully
handle and look over every fleece be-
fore sacking. In this way only can we
get to an honest standard.
Referring to the report of buyers
combination, Mr.. Brown said "It is
our aim to give the tr;ie side of every
thing. 1t never pays to deceive eth
er the seller or tn buyer. There is no
such combination so far as | know. "

FREDDIE WELSH HAS
LITTLE AT STAKE
Will Put Up Fight with Leon
ard Instead Of Running
a Foot Race

New York, July 2S.-Freddie Welsh,
lightweight champion of the world, will
take his title into the ring with him
tonight when he meets Benny Leonard,
the pride of Harlem for the second time.
There are those among the sporting. fra
ternity who believe the champion really
intends to put up whirlwind battle
and all the "soft money" pickers are
not drifting to Leonard, despite his de-
feat of Welsh at their last meeting
Leonard s workouts have been strenu-
Gus, while Welsh has been shadow box
ing at Douglaston, l.. 1.
There is hardly chance that the
title will come within the grasp of the
Harlem boy, but Leonard's hackers say
he will repeat his performance of their
last meeting and SO deeisively defeat
the champion that the fans will demand
a 20-round decision bout.

State University Well
Represented On Border
Uinn W. Nesmith, in the Eugene
Register.)


Palm City, Cal, July 30. = (spe-
cial to the Register THE University
of Oregon is well represented here and
is playing its part in the upbuilding of
the Third Oregon infantry. Taking in
to consideration the fact that the uni
versity men had no training there, it
is my opinion that the school is remark
ably well represented, especially so in
NJ company.
Millar f. McGichrist, company clerk
in NJ company, and member of the
Sigma Chi fraternity, heads the list
as being the youngest university man,
and the last to graduate. He is the
most popular and well liked private in
NJ company.
Ralph Moores is Private.
Ralph d. Moores, nephew of the
Honorable Charles B. Moores, repub-
lican candidate for the nomination for
secretary of state at the recent pri-
mary, is member of the Kappa Sigma
fraternity and a private in NJ company.
Young Moores is q good soldier and
splendid character in every way.
Corporal Carl d. Gabrielssn is a
member of the Beta Theta Phi frater-
nifty and one of the most efficient cor
porals in NJ company. Corporal Cliff
ford W. Brown is Sigma M, and a
son of the Salem capitalist, William
L. Brown. Corporal Brown is also
mess sergeant, which is the best evil
dence of his efficiency.
Scoop Houston in Company M.
Corporal Houston is an Oregon man
and newspaper man in private life.
He also is a member of NJ company.
Corporal George Gabriel, of A COM
pany, is q member of the Phi Delta
Theta fraternity. Lieutenant Biles, of
F company, is also member of Phi
Delta Theta.
pital corps, is Alpha Tau Omega, and
Corporal Richard B. Flynn, of G com
pany, is Phi Delta Theta.
If there are any more fraternities
in Eugene that are not represented in
this regiment they have been organized
since left good old Oregon.
Men Make Fine Showing.
The university is to be eongratu-
lated upon this showing and also on
the splendid character of these men.
They are credit to the institution.
If We return to Oregon before the
university opens there are two pros
pective university men in NJ company.
They are Frank J. Miller, Jr., son of
the Honorable Frank j. Miller, public
service commissioner, and Allen Car
