Moscow Boy Writes Home
OF American Lake Life

| The machine gun troop, to which |
belong, consists of 81 men, four COM
missioned officers, 120 horses and four
machine guns. You will perhaps think
that four guns is not enough for so
many men, but as matter of fact
every man has his work to do and is
busy in time of action although three
men can run gun.
We sleep in 15x15 tents ON army cots,
one canvas tick filled with straw,
one army blanket under and two over
us. If persons understands them
they are the warmest covering you
could find but if you don't they are
the coldest. Out of over 200 of us
that left Spokane only very few es
capped a severe cold and cough thot
don't seem to want to leave. Ten of
our troop have gone to the hospital on
account of it. l would like to advise
the boys who are coming later to pre-
pare for a sudden change of climate
as it is much different than the eli
mate in Moscow 1t is not so hot in the
day time but colder and damper at
night.

Have Recreation Too

Tacoma is 16 miles from camp anG
easily reached as there is a streetcaI
that leaves every 80 minutes, six OF
eight trains daily and numerous
busses. There are many places OF
amusement just outside the reserva-
ton. Boating, swimming, football
baseball and other games and contests
are indulged in by the boys daily so
you see it is not all work and no play,
for the officers encourage recreation.
There is also Y. M. c. A. that pro-
vides reading room, writing tables
and a place to hold religious meet
ings.
Ray Agee, a student for the last
three years at the University of Idaho,
and Ed Mcconnell are the only two
representatives in the troop from Mos
cow. They both have made good as
Agee is corporal and Mcconnell is
the troop bugler They both like it as
does everyone else that l have spoken
to on the subject of army life.
In closing let me say one more
word to the boys who are to come
Don't criticize when you run up against
the hardships that are bound to come.
When you get here remember the Uni
ted States is doing the best it can for
you. Let US all do our bit and do it
cheerfully.

The following are extracts from let
ters written to Mrs. S. S. Browne by
her son, Harvey Browne, who is en-
camped at American Lake:
"As you had perhaps noticed, l had
to quit last night simply because the
lights had to go out at $3.50. 1t GER
|tainly is great here at night, a 40-piece
army band playing about 200 yards
away, small groups of fellows singing
here and there with now and then a
banjo or mandolin makes a confused
sound. But it is all pretty and / like
to lie here on my bunk and pick out a
certain instrument or a certain fell
lows voice and the rest fade until l
am lulled to sleep even before taps
at 1920.
When the Flag Comes Down
''The most impressive thing, the
thing that thrills one most, is when
they blow retreat at 600, cannon
booms and the 32 buglers who have
assembled, blow retreat as the flag
comes fluttering to the ground. Every
man is at attention dressed in full uni
form and there is not a sound from
any of the 1000 soldiers. AS the
flag touches the ground, the band
plays the Star Spangled Banner and
every man goes to salute and stays
there during the whole piece. You
can't imagine the effect, mother. 1t
makes you think there is something to
it after all. 1t may be the band or
it may be the intense stiffness, but
there is something that makes yoV
glad that you are part of it.

LITTLE ROCK BANK CLEAR
 INGS SHOW BIG INCREASE

Little Rock, Jan. 2-In twenty years the bank clearings of Little Rock have increased from $1s,394,- 185.01. on 1897, to $150,203, ,71T22 in 1916, one of the most notable indicas .of the prosperity of the community. The increase over 1915 is in excess of tweHty-two millions, a condition con- sidered nothing short of phenomenal. The annual increase has been gradual since 1897, the only year showing a decrease being 1904. But the in- crease for the year just closed has been out of proportion to anything that preceded it and has set a swift pace for the future to maintain. The year 1916 broke all records, and that. coupled with the tremendous volumes .oi business reported by all conner c,al, industrial and financial concerns, the notwithstanding deposits in the banks, the scarcity of mercantile or industrial bankruptcies on the first of the new year, and the prevalent op- timism, presage a continuance of prosperous conditions for 1917.
