Soldiers Gained Weight .
In U. S. Army Service

Washington, May 17.-"Soldiers who
fought against Spain in 1898 lost In
weight on an average of % pounds
each: the average American soldier
at the end of the fighting in 1913
weighed twelve pounds more than he
did when the selective draft act or
his own volition brought him into the
army"
Thus the success won by the army's
subsistence branch in the great war
is epitomized in chapters of the off,
cial war material" history made pub
lie today by the War Department.
The food problem OF an army of g.
700. 900 is visualized in the history by
considering the force as a single man
and entire wal period az one dinner
hour. Articles comprised in the army
ration assumed these tremendous to-
tails:

con $50, 0OO, 900 pounds; -four tbrand)

| 900 pounds; coffee 5000, 900 pounds;
evaporated milk 200, 10000 cans.
The bill for this meal amounted to

| per capita cost having risen from 4

ing 1900, 900 pounds of food daily
Moving this stupendous qdautit;
over the 5000 mile line of communi-
cation was the principal obstacle &c

for conserving cargo space led tirect-
iy in the later months to the ship
ment of dehydrated vegetables u the

U. s. S. OREGON II
TO BEREI1RED
BattIeship Of Spanish-American War
RELOCATED to Past

San Francisco. May 20.-"Goodbye
dear old Oregon" was the sentiment
voiced by hundreds OF men. women
and children during the last week on
the Victory Liberty Loan campaign
when they visited the famous old bat
tleship for the last time al n lay
at anchor in San Francisco bay. With
in a few weeks the grim dghter OF

in the hearts OF the American people;
the Oregon will go out OF commission
and become a memory.
"A few weeks after the sinking o.
the battleship Maine at Havana,
oregon was in San Francisco harbor
when there flashed across the CONT
nent on March IL, 1898. from the navy
department to the Oregon's command

(Peru) as soon as practicable. On
March II, Captain Charles z. Clark
assumed command, and two days Ia
ter began the celebrated trip around
the Horn
Captain Clark was not advised that
war had been declared against Spain
until his arrival at Rio Janiero. April
80 Great concern was felt In the
United States for the lonely Oregon
as the whereabouts of the Spanish
feet under Admiral Cervera. which
had just left the Cape Verde islands,
was unknown.
The nation breathed a sign of relief
when word was received that the Ore
gon had arrived safely at Jupiter In
let, Fla, May "a, after a trip OF $4,000
miles made in IS days. A few days
later she joined Admiral Simpsons
fleet off Santiago, Cuba, and she par
ticipated in the great battle of sun
day, July 8, 1898, when Cervera's feet
was annihilated. The Oregon forced
the Colon, the last of the Spanish
ships. ashore to her destruction.
Subsequently the Oregon steamed
from New York to Manila where 'shs
was on duty during the American
operations in the Philippines. OF lat
years she has been used for a train
ing school for young sailors and hai
been the feature of many celebration
and other events.

declared O. p. Hood. chief, mechanical
engineer Of the United States bureau
OF mines. Washington D. c., who
reached st. Paul tonight after q three
weeks inspection of the Ignite dis
tricts OF North and South Dakots and

party Of engineers sent out by Van HI.
Manning, secretary Of the bureau Of
mines. have been seeking a location
for a semi-experimental plant for en-
tracing b~y-products from fignits and
making the residue into briquettes for
heating use.
IL is not the intention of the gov
eminent at this time to erect and op-
crate a plant commercially. but rather
to cooperate with private business in@
terests which may desire to enter the
field. The bureau of mines will give
all the technical aid at it's command to
assist such an enterprise. This work
has been started under the direction
of Franklin X. Lane. secretary Of the
interior.
| Ignite is a substance. between peat

When reduced by a process similar to
that employed in producing coke, val

"The northwest should wake up to
the value Of this great source Of fuel

this part of the country is certain to
employ Ignite in place Of the anthra-
