FROM
A TEXAS LETTER
Earl Fort Writes Interestingly About
Camp Life Down on the
Mexican Border.

A letter was received recently
from Earl Fort, member of the
Second Regimental band stationed
at Brownsville. He says: eve just
got in from ten day hike and you
can imagine how glad we were to
get back after marching from ten to
twenty miles a day and sleeping on
the ground at night. I think I came
back feeling better than did when
we started, although we would get
pretty hungry and tired. We didn't
have much to eat but we got through
in fine shape just the same. We
camped two nights in San Bcnito, a
town about twenty miles from here.
The Oklahoma and South Dakota
soldiers are stationed at this place. T"
1--WE had large review this
morning. There were twenty-five
thousand soldiers altogether in the
parade. Our band was the fifteenth
to pass the reviewing stand and
there were more back of US so there
was lots of music in the air. There
were two or three movie men here
to take our pictures. We get our
pictures taken quite often by the
movie people. We have had nice
weather lately. The days are pref
ty warm but the nights get nice
and cool-sometimes too COOL The
mosquitoes don't bother nearly as
bad as they did. l hear that you
have plenty of snow up there. l
would like to see a little for a
change. There are some people
down here who never have seen any
snow. I guess things are just as
high in price here as they are in
Webster City. Butter is As cents a
pound and eggs are 5O,cents dozen
and when a fellow goes to a res
taurant to get square meal it costs
quite bit. l will be glad when l
get back to a white mans world.
II am in the Y. M. c. A. now and
there are lots of boys in here wait
ing and playing checkers. The Y Is
doing good work ON the border. Our
building is large frame structure
about $50 by IS feet. 1t has stage
in one end and we have band con-
certs and entertainments Of differ
ent kinds whenever we can get them.
81 have quite collection of pict-
ures of the country and the people
here. If ever get back to Iowa l
am going to have some picture
book"

road we rode over the Switzerland
Trail of America! Around the short
est railroad curve in the world, ov-
er three mile stretch of track in
which a descent of one mile is made,
through rough wild mining dis
trict where discarded mining equip
ment bears witness that many a
fortune has been spent in endeavor-
ing to make nature yield up the
precious elements. With only short
stops at Denver and Colorado
Springs, this lap of the course end
ed in Salt Lake City, the paradise OF
western Cities, Here extended my
planned one-day stop into a three
day visit in the home of Prof. and
Mrs. Lewis former professor of
English at Ellsworth, now serving
on the faculty of the University of
Utah. My, what haven of rest.
My feet under home table-real
home table-real home. cooking
and refreshing sleep on the porch
with cold, not cool, mountain air;
with the Nasatch Mountain peaks to
greet you each morning. Quite a
change from Pullman and dining
car accommodations.
One of the features Of my stop in
the Mormon City was a trip across
the valley with an old college friend
to Bingham, Utah, city built in a
canyon which is five hundred feet
wide and five miles long, where the
greatest copper mine in the world is
in active operation. A system which
covers whole mountain side; feat
which equals the construction of the
Panama Canal.
After visiting all the places Of
Mormon historic fame, l resumed my
journey westward without swim in
the Great Salt Lake, thing which
I regretted. With a 1916 Football
Rule Book as a companion l was
whirled across the great dull gray
salt beds. The fine dry salt sifted
through the Pullman. No fresh
travelling companions on that p. M,
every one "salted down." When
darkness had shut us in, our little
world, began to -no-nOt cultivate,
but to tolerate the acquaintance Of
the newly weds just across the way.
There were some few surprised pas
sengers when it dropped" that the
groom was a Presbyterian minister.
My original version was that he was
walking advertisement for Tuxedo
or Fatimas.
Thursday night took us out of the
desert land over the divide so that
on Friday morning we were enjoy
ing the beautiful scenery of the
Feather River canon. Along it's
rocky bluffs there was an abundance
of wrecked mining equipment Of all
sorts of the pioneer days Of 40. Oc-
casionally there would be lone min
err with the typical red shirt, to give
a realistic setting to the atmosphere.
A. I drank in the true scenes of stor-
les ich l had read, in former days,
I dew Led keener appreciation.
The hardships which the gold seek
ers and pioneers endured must have
been ineXplicable.
With an abbreviated trip of three
days in Los Angeles and an aban-
doned trip to San Diego because Of
the agitated railroad strike, I spent
the last two days of my residence
on the mainland in sight seeing
about San Francisco.
More anon.
Very truly,
Ray Baird.
