The number of men grouped ac- cording to cities, in the Connecti- cut ationil Guard who were in the federal service on September 1, was about 2,779, according to an esti- mate made, by Major Edward Schultz, assistant to the adjutant- general. This estimate was com- piled in response to a request from the secretary of state for the num- ber of guardsmen from each con- gressional district, who are now in the federal service. The figures are needed in connection with ar- rangements for the probability that the men may still be on the border at the time of the fall elections and will vote there. Due to the fact that the only muster roll showing present strength which has been forwarded to Major Schyltz _from the border was that of .he First Connecticut infantry, it was not possible for Major Schultz < give cxact figures of any com- mands iratside this regiment and he v forced to make an approximate cs'imate as concerned al' exzept the I“cier unit. He furihermore sald that he was unable to quote flgures for ~ach congressional district be- cai@: of the lack of data, and that therefore he was obliged to make the es.tmate or the basis of cities. “7 Fave been anxious to receive the Tmuster rolls of the commands other than those of the First In- fantry,” said Major Schultz, “for tten 1 could have quoted the figures. But there has been delay In recelving them, and it must be remembered that the forwarding of copior of the rolls to us is altogether a courtesy on {ne part of the of. ficers on the border.” will take place at the next regular meeting by District Deputy John F.

WRITES FROM CAMP IN OREGON MOUNTAINS Former Storrs Woman Tells of the Marvelous Scenery in the Far West Mrs. Anna Snow Fitts, wife of E. B. Fitts, in charge of the dairy husband- ry of the Oregon Agricultural College, who was formerly located at the Con- necticut Agricultural College at Storrs, has written The Bulletin an interest- ing letter telling of their camp life in the Oregon Mountains. The letter which will be of interest to many castern Connecticut people, especially those who came in contact with Mr. and Mrs. Fitts during their connec- tion with Storrs college, is as follow: For the third successive Season— we are camping in the mountainous woods of this wonderful Oregon coun- try—our camp is in the coast range, grant college which is situated at Cor- 25 miles west of the Oregon land vallis. The scenery in this section of the country is marvelously beautiful and picturesque and is conceded by tourists of wide experience to be equal to that found anywhere. In fact the nominee for president of the United States remarked on his recent visit to this state that the view along the Columbia highway are un- surpassed in the world. To us New England, our “homeland” Is more beautiful than any other sec- tion of the United States. Yet that fact does not render us b to the artistic value and other advantages of this Interesting section which to this day ects, in a sense, the hardy courage, self £ overcoming of ob by those honored founders, the pioneers, o fought their westward way hroush many difficulties and dangers | and blazed the trail which now, figur- atively speaking, is covered the | teel Talls of a modern railway. The Idaho, s replete which Oregon and Washington, with facts and incidents, make it a fascinating study and a revelation to one hitherzo unac- quainted with the experiences of the ploneers. A study of the life of that carly missionary, Marcus Whitman, woll repays one in interest and one feels a poignant regret that that un- selfish man and his good wife, were so mercilessly slain in the Whitman (In- dian) massacre of 184{7. Whitman college now stands a fit monument to their unselfish efforts in the early We arrived at our camp three weeks g over the picturesque | road in huge autotruck hich transports passengers and bag- gaze daily betw Corvallis, on_the Southern Pacific road, and Alsea, a little town of about 200 inhabitants, over the mountain and whose only connection with the outside world is via this same mountain road. At the top of the mountain, where the road is being repaired, wi steam road roller’ bearing facturing address of Buffalo, N. Y which brought to us a fleeting imagin- ary glimpse and po nostalgia of that eastern co: we have not seen for three We are camped by the side of a mountain stream in which the sportive trout succeed in eluding most of the time at least our inviting fishhooks, We have, however, partaken twice of the. luxury of trout fried in bacon fat. We are surrounded by a growth of “alder trees,” unlike the alter tree of the to which we are accustomed, but mbliung a cross between the popular and white grey-green. These with a luxuriant growth of ferns, to- ther with the song of the busy brook, make what the poets would call a van spot.” A truly beautiful camp for the city dweller, seewing rest and_outdoor life. We pitched our tent in the exact spot as last summer so it seemed ra- ther like a home-coming. In this state one sees at this season many campers traveling over the mountain road, whole families setting out in a motor car, or more often, With the horses and a great covered wagon, containing all kinds of camp supplies, for a stay of several weeks in the woods or going farther on, stopping at the shore we counted eizht children in such an outfit one day and won- dereg at the courage which would ac- company the attemp: to feed such a group with a “camping appetite.” All looked well fed, however, and needless to_say, carefree and happy. It so seldom rains here during July and August that many start out with no tent, it being considered quite with- in the realm of safety. We, however, being so recently from the Atlantic coast and rememberinz vividly the electrical storms of that section have seen to it that our outfit included a tent being sure to stipulate that it be rainproof and sure enough this year our Yankee sagacity was duly rewarded for during the three weeks we have been here we have had two rainy days, an almost unheard of thing at this season. We have been told that only once in 19 years has it rained here in August. However, dur- ing the rain, we discovered while on our walks, many a grand old fir tree under whose protecting and wide spreading branches the ground was as dry as the rain were not known In such places we found “beds” made of cut ferns and pine boughs where some tired traveler had camped for i forest, mingled with these is an occa.

They stand as ma- | jestic and dignifieq sentinels of the sional blackened and charred com- panion, grim reminders of a fierce forest fire which swept through here a number of years ago, and lying about, majestic the prone are monster logs, which though lifeless, withstood | the elements, until at last _ they| crashed to the earth and the fall of | such is indeed great. We heard ome| such crash this vear, and one does not | soon forget the terrifying resounding noise of a falling tree.

These trees im- press one with the thought of waste of | good Ire wood and a twish that said vood might be transferred to the city | at reasonable cost. As wood is the| principal fuel here and is held at al| high price, but alas, the cost of get-| ting these glant logs over the moun- thin would far transend their value,! so with a sigh the bcholder bows to| the inevitable and is reminded of a phrase of the city dwellers here the fuel we have with us always. time here is spent in walking, | climbing, fishing and nourishing the | material body, which latter is some thing of a problem when one’s appe- tite is to say the least keen, and after a climb of 1,000 feet, one does not | wonder, “What shall we have fcr| dinner,” but rather feels a grateful appreciation that adequate camp sup- | plies are at hand, and the simplest | kind of fare seems a feast. | We have been somewhat _troubl by wood rats, who seem also to have | acquired our appetite in_ their mou tain surroundings and whose opinio of our stock of provisions would b most gratify were it not om- | panied by undue sampling and appro- priating to their own abode. We sent | to town for a rat trap and the next morning much to our staction, we | found a beautiful specimen of the afore | foned animal.

The camping season here will be over, for this vear, o sic oo soon for the rainy sezson is about due and rain may e expected any or all of the t§me from the last of September to about April 1st. We have found camp life in this state most Interesting and are.of the opinion that a more satisfactory way o fenjoying a month’s vacation would be difficult to find. The difficult so- journ among the beautiful trees of this forest will not soon be forgotten and one goes from such contact with nature, newly inspired, with a greater benevolence toward humanity, and a more steadfast faith in the Cref.tor, who has made all things beautiful in His time.

Federal War Revenue on Legal and Mercantile Documents No Longer Required. ay the federal te on legal and mer- ments was no longer re- quired. The information was convey- ed to Collector James J. Walsh of this internal revenue district by a telegram from Washington Friday afternoon in- formipg him_that schedules A and B were not inc d in the new revenue measure. This means that no further tax on toll line h telegrams, steamship passages outside of this country, contracts. conveyances, seats in parlor cars, voting proxies, certifi- |, cates of indebtedness, bills of lading, transfer of stocks, bonds, realty deeds, in rfact, all lezal documents, will be collectible to the government. The tax also goes off all proprietary medi- cines, cosmetics, perfumery, toilet ar- ticles, and the like, which have been taxed since the besinning of t-w Euro- pean war, to compensate for the deficit ccruing to the government because of lack of import duties. The tax of one cent on telegraph messages is also discontinued, Real estate operators are pleased to have the tax on legal documents recalled more on account of the publicity which was entailed as to the amount of money_involved in a transfer-than because of the amount of the tax itself.
