State Fire Marshal
viii Assist Heppner

Captain George W. Stokes of the
state fire marshal's department has
gone Ito Heppner to assist in reorganiz-
ing q fire department, so a loss such
as was sustained in that town July 4
when four blocks were destroyed by
fire, may not be repeated.
Fire Marshal Wells has suggested
that the company of home guards at
Heppner be enlisted in a fire COM
.pany, as so many Of the young men
have entered THE war it will be diff
cult to get material for separate fire
fighting organization.
After the fire which occurred in
Heppner May Representatives of the
state fire marshal s department made
an inspection of that place and found
conditions which were a great fire
menace to the town. Attention was
called to them in report prepared
June 30, but the report had not been
submitted to the mayor of the town
when the July 4th fire occurred.

9.-Results from the first civilian sum.
mer training camp on the Plattsburg
model, held at the University of Oregon
have so pleased Col. John Leader, late

ing holding second camp August l to
August 81. Leader is now professor of
military science at the university.
At the present camp, which has been
in operation little over two weeks, are
$50 student soldiers, mainly husine IS
and professional men, many of them of
draft age, who are improving their va
cation period by making themselves fit
for military service.
"Almost all the men now in camp
will make officers" said Col. Leader to.
day. "In all my career l have never
seen men learn faster than they. They
have accomplished more in two weeks
than recruits usually do in montbs.n
The day at camp begins with reveille
at $3.50, and from then until taps is
sounded at IL 'clock at night the men
are kept busy at wide variety Of mil
itary subjects. The work day begins be.
fore breakfast. In open-order formation
the men are lined up on Kincaid field
and put through severe course of
Swedish gymnastics. or setting up exer.
cises for half an hour.
During the first week Director o. G.
Mauthe Of the Multnomah Amateur Ath.
letic Club, who is in charge of this de-
partmcnt, tested the mems soft muscles
severely, and some even were unable to
get through the half hours work, but
lay stretched out exhausted on the field
before the end Of the period. But they
came back for more and have been re-
warded with physical condition which
many Of them have never enjoyed be-
fore, with tho ruddy glow and clear eye
Of physical fitness.
After breakfast the real military drill
commences. Parade work is only a small
part of the instruction. Marching, fac.
ing, squad and company formations have
already been mastered, and some time is
now given to openorder work and skir.
mishing, with an occasional sham battle
to illustrate some military principle.
One of the stiff courses is entitled
