Changes Every Day.
So fast is the mushroom army
city growing that what is written
of II one day is not true the next.
The 500 workmen who were on
the Job on the day construction
headquarters moved out to the
cantonment, were swallowed up in
the size of the project as If they
had been so. In few days there
will he 500. housed in the first
unit of 13 200-man barracks now
rising between the forks of the
spur track.
The contractors, Hurley Mason
Co. of Tacoma, estimate 5000 or
5000 men will be at work before
long.
These men, of course, are civil
fans. The few men in khaki be-
long to the constructing quarter

company

AS a precaution against alien
enemies entering the cantonment

ton of workmen from all over the
Northwest, every man must give a
full account of himself before he
is hired, including his nationality.
the place where he was last en-
ployed, and much other informa-
ton, on card which is filed away.
This serves also for identification
in case OF accident.
Each man is given number,
which is registered on another
card, and as he passes the guard
in the morning brass tag is
pinned on him, showing his right
to be at work.
And anyone prowling around
the site unexplained, is stopped
and asked to state his business
with discouraging frequency.
Truck Sounds Keynote.
Near the edge of the present
work, the truck company's tents
stand in a row, and the trucks
trundle up and away again like
elephants.
The army truck is the beast of
burden of the constructing quar-
termaster's department.
The British ''motor-lorry" has
become famous for its exploits
along shell-swept roads In France;
and as much as any one feature,
the American motor truck is the
thing that makes the gravelly
roads at American lake grim and
business-like.
A string of 80 army trucks load
ed with, for instance, wooden wa
ter pipe for the cantonment,
somehow carries sudden convic-
ton to the beholder that this war
is not a Fourth of July parade.
1t also inspires a willingness to
concede the larger half of the
road.
Many Pet Names.
The russet-clad drivers have
their own pet-names for their
mounts, coined on the spur of the
moment and according to mood.
A truck that is rumbling obed-
iently along is affectionately re-
ferred to as a "three-ton baby
carriage"
Should the same truck misbe-
have on an upgrade, however, its
master may describe it contemptu-
ously to his neighbor at mess as
a "down-hill climber"
A favorite, though ambiguous
term for motor trucks is iarny
mules" Notwithstanding that
some real army mules are part of
the equipment at the mobilization
camp.
A driver may be "jitney
Jockey" or a shower"
Probably somewhere among
these and the many other epithets
as yet latent in the fertile fancy
of the soldier-boys, is the word by
which the American motor truck
will also go down to fame when
the war and tile great cantonments
which IL is calling into being are
both part of the country's history.
