Transcriber's Note: I've refrained from copying articles that do not include names of residents, some of the colloquial terms we'll have to guess at the meaning of, present day capitals used on certain words were not used then. Fraternity names and organizations I am not familiar with. Advertisements placed in the newspaper were coded for easy identification in later issues. The Dalles Daily Chronicle, December 15, 1890, page 3 (Missing heading on article) Oregon National Guard Lieutenant R.H. Norton of Company "E", Fossil (Oregon), is in the city. He has an excellent company of wide awake men, who are determined to be second to no Company in the regiment. They will be, perhaps, the first to secure dress uniforms. A fine company has recently been organized at Condon (Oregon), in command of J.R. Lucas, who was formerly in command of "B" Company of Arlington (Oregon). This Company contains more six footers than any other company in the state. Captain Lucas is very enthusiastic and takes great interest in his Company. Lieutenant Keller, I.R.P., is reorganizing the rifle team. He is intending to give the first and second regiments a hard pull for the Governor's medal next year. Lieutenant J.S. Booth, regimental signal officer, has enlisted a full signal corps and will soon be busy drilling them. As soon as the necessary equipments can be procured signalling will be practiced. Captain Thompson, of "A" Company, wishes to remind his men of the fact that Wednesday evening is drill night.
