BIG THINGS IN THE FAR WEST
Fred Alexander Tells of Them and
Some Matters Personal

WATERVILLE, WASH, Nov. /, 1916.
FRIEND MUNsoN:I wish TO thank
you for the weekly report of Vernon
county history that reaches me every
Monday Constantly changing names
Ia this chronicle OF events calls ones
attention TO the rapid advance of time
Occasionally a Vernon county man
drifts in here. Just a few days ago
Bert Johnson, nephew of DIR. john
son of Ontario, was here representing
Swift & Co. A few weeks ago, Oseach
Brown, one Of our Oldest pioneers died.
He lived at or near Gays Mills many
years ago and was soldier in Com
pauy b. 18th Wis vol Fred Carpen-
ter. our road supervisor, was born at
! DeSoto Chester G. SiIhaugh lives at
Spencer near here, and is an honored
citizen OF the county
This year finds the farmers especi
4 ally prosperous Wheat at the high
est prices known makes them fee
1 that way. Most farmers have com
bines TO cut and thresh their grain
and auto truck TO haul 1t, One farm
er told me that his wheat averaged 40
/ bushels per acre and that day the
market WAS 81 IS per bushel or S62 an
acre on land that two years ago was
$50 per acre.
our town is on the Sunset highway
half a mile above the sea, and half
wav between Spokane and Seattle, IL
has ], POO inhabitants and enough au-
comobiles are owned in it To take all
the people out on a ioy-ride at one
time. We have school Of 81 teach
ers The agricultural department
farms so acres of land.
Here's hoping Hughes wins
Very truly, +. 4. ALEXANDER

MouNrEp oRpERLIE NEws

The Orderlies are the busy uoys of
the regiment. We do not even get
time now TO stop aud enjoy little mu-
| sic while the band Is rehearsing. In
addition TO our regular routine Ut
work, we are now taking up patrolling.
| The patrols are the eyes OF an army
In active service They must ride
ahead of the main forces to locate the
enemy and detect their movements,
OF probably hold a bridge against the
enemy until the infantry arrives. All
information Is transmitted back to
the main body by means of dag signals.
Rabbit is now cook. We are sorry
to lose Bunny as he has been a val
liable member of our organization
Halloween did not pass 10y without its
usual observance, although the pranks
were not as serious as those we have
witnessed at home Hstland and Hell
gesun discovered, TOO late, that their
cots had been taken apart and as a
result kept the rest awake until early
hours while getting their hunks rear
ranged. Another mOn,ber, while asleep,
mysteriously lost half of his highly
priced mustache.
Floyd Hamilton, Of the Hospital
Corps, has been promoted to saddler
IN the Wisconsin ambulance corps.
COwden has been getting most of our
mail lately. II took us a while to dis
cover the cause, but he told us that
his birthday is near at hand, so his
relatives and friends are sending him
greetings We caught him down on
the picket line yesterday and gave
him the usual birthday pounding.
Welch is wearing r smile from ear TO
ear He received a big box of eats
f. III home These home pastries as
mother used to make are an unusual
treat 10 us.
Presidential election is only week
away The discussion OF the candi-
dates gets spirited at times and some
times continues alter taps at night.
The republicans Ae 10 the majority,
bat are rapidly tlOcfing 70 the stand
ard Of Wilson. Porter is advancing
the cause of prohibition, bat with lit
tie effect So" is the chief pass
time Griffin, although he jsN2vv mod
est about H., claims to he star PLAYER,
even after lOosing every game. Wise
ia Kept busy down on the picket line
taking care Of the horses. so we do
not hear much from him except when
our horses are groomed. 4 corral Is
being built around the picket so As to
eliminate the number of lost animals.

SAN ANToNIo. TEXAs. Nov. 2

A
FRIEND MUNSON: = On orders from
Washington immediate steps are be
ing taken TO provide winter quarters
for the troops, both regulars and mil
itia, now on border duty To that end
81, 100, 900 has just been made availa-
BILE to provide the necessary supplies
and labor This amount is utilized
for the erection of environments for
regulars 500, GOO, framing ant Scoring
tents for militia s2l6. 900. for barracks
and Quartermasters S62, $50, for enclos-
ing mess shelter militia and regulars,
1913, 000,an for hot water bathing IA
cilities for regulars and militia ST.
600 The Wisconsin regimental quar-
tiers are being wired for electric lights,
which are put in on a Hat rate of 50
cents per light
The regular troops near us have not
been in camp SO long as we have, but
are getting their camp fitted up in
grand STYLE The men have been
through the PAGES and know how to
make themselves comfortable. They
have cinder and gravel walks all over,
the streets marked out with straight
lines of white stones, chairs made out
of boxes and barrels; several compa-
pool tables and correspondence desks.
One squad has a liz Iarsey COW, an
other pin pen in the near vicinity
and one other a fine flock of chickens.
Il is expected that SauAntonio army
camp will be enlarged to enable it to
accommodate over 100000 men. The
probable reason for the soldiers hav-
ing a COW is that milk sells for eleven
cents per quart and six cents per pint.
Our band PLAYED for the Virginia
militia foot ball team dur ing their
game with the eth Artillery Regulars
team The game was a one-sid4d aft
fair, u to 0, in our favor, However,
our comedian, Hogan, said he enjoyed
every minute of II, because It did him
SO much good to do up the regulars.
A foot ball tournament has been plan
ned and sixteen teams have entered.
On Halloween we played for party
given by the nurses Mt the base hospi-
tai. The ladies were so grateful to
us for donating our services that they
endeavored to play even by passing
the refrt shments very libeI ally. We
thought il fine at the time, but the
next day we found that highly season.
ed sandwiches, punch, Judges, cakes,
ice cream, sailed nuts, and several
kinds of fruits did not agree with our
present mode of living.
Lieutenant Buffers is laid up for
repairs, the injury resulting from not
sticking to a frisky horse. That IS
what he says, but Sells Floto Circus
was in town on that day and there are
those who suspicion that he may have
tried 10 ride the trick mule. o.o.B.

Viroqua superv sors have complied
with a largely sis ned petition of tax
payers of the town and relocated the
highway between the Frank Robinson
farm on the south and the old Spell
lum place on the north making a
straight cut along the st Paul right
of-way over piece of ground some
thing like a third of a mile. This
will vacate he road from the railroad
track north down the steep, rough
hill 1t will shorten and make an al
most perfect east highway, devoid Of
hills, from the city 70 the Norris farm.
The town board named the compensa-
ton which they we're willing to allow
Mr. Robinson for his land, but We are
not advised whether he accepts the
terms. II he does, work Of making the
new road will soon begin.

TOBACCO Conditions TO Date

Mild weather with frequent casing
spells continue, which is especially
favorable for the curing of tobacco
crop, as il promotes the evening OF the
eol0rs and finishes the drying oIt of the
stems. Just a little OF the new crop
that was harvested early has been re-
moved from the curing sheds and
stripped. but this work ought not to
become general while there is danger
OF warm temperature that would start
heating Of the bundles Most dealers
think ia would be safer to wait at least
another month before stripping Only
now aud then are sales Of the new
crop from first hands reported.
The market for Old leaf is still con
dued to small order trading as neces-
stiles OF manufacturers require and no
