HOT TRAINING IN TEXAS

Harvey Nicholson has just receiv- ed a letter from his brother who is in the Aviation Corps, stationed at San Antonio, Texas, where he is receiving instructions.
 MT. Nicholson joined the aviation corps at Fort Wright, Spokane, and was at once sent to the training camp In the letter he states that over 1000 men are receiving training in the camp and that machines fly overhead so constantly that they pay no attention to them. One hun dred and fifty men form a flying squadron and Nicholson was lucky enough to receive an appointment as sergeant, on account of former experience.
 It is so hot at the camp that stoves are not necessary in prepar- ing food for the men ill the camp and every once in while men fall over from the extreme heat while at drill.

C. E. Eye of the Pacific Steamship Is Making Annual Trip and
 Talks Shop.
WILL CARE FOR FISH
Official Is Inclined to the Belief That Government Not to Commander
 Alaska Boats.

C. E. Eye, general passenger and freight agent for the Pacific Steam ship Company was passenger on
 he steamer Spokane, which arrived n Juneau this morning. On the re- turn of the Spokane from Skagway MT. and Mrs. Eye will stop off here until the arrival of the Admiral Watson and will then make the trip to the westward. Mr. Eye stated this morning that he is merely on his annual tour of inspection.
 When questioned regarding future freight rates to Alaska, MT. Five stated that without a doubt the rates will be raised again next spring. He stated that at the present time the rates on the California run are nearly as high as the rail rates as is possible to make them. Alas ka so far has received every con- sideration possible, but the raise will have to come soon," he said.
 According to statements made his morning MT. Five said the pric- es of everything used by the com pany in the operation of the ships it is no longer possible cooperate lnder the old schedule of rates and break even on the cost of operation. Recently it became necessary for IS to charter one of our boats for
 he off shore trade in order that her earnings might be considerably increased" he said.
 Regarding the shipment of fresh fish from Juneau, MT. Eye was very emphatic in his statements that ey- erything possible is being done to handle cargoes without loss There was a kick from Juneau a short time ago but that was because the Farragut was unable to handle the shipments" said MT. Eye. The Farragut has no cold storage equip ment and we never have space on her The fish buyers when shipping )n that boat all know that they do so at their own risk.
 Juneau has the best boat ser vice of any point on the entire coast, considering the distance from other ports, and really the people here have no kick on the service they are receiving. We are making every effort to care for the fish without loss and now that the cannery sea son is stacking off and the salmon has been mostly moved south the fresh fish will receive even better treatment than before"
 MT Five stated that as for the communicating of the steamers from the Alaska run, they knew nothing. Contradictory reports are being sent out from Washington every day We have man there constant ly and nearly every day he sends IS a different report, but in view of the recent announcements 1 think that the Pacific will be let alone as long as possible. The Califor- nia run will suffer first because all ports there have rail service. The Alaskan service may be curtailed, but it will not be crippled by the government, because we can truth fully say that the boats are neces- sary to handle the traffic for the livelihood and sustenance of the peo- ple."

EXCURSION UP TAkU

The last excursion of the season up the Taku will be run tomorrow morning, leaving Juneau at o'clock in the morning. The early start is made so that the party may cross the bar on the river boat Cassiar without making the transfer in the small boats and also so that the excursionists may be taken as far as the mouth of the Tulsequah, sev- eral miles above the boundary line. The numbers of the party have been limited to 15 for this trip. Several reservations for the trip have already been made, among them being A. T. Spatz.

Old Israel Putnam Was Some
Rough Rider Also i'm His Day

AT various times during the Revo-
lutionarY war, Israel Putnam. tho
brave Conencticut soldier, underwent
such trying and extraordinary expert
ence that It might almost be consid-
cred that he possessed charmed life.
But the narrowest escape he had
from death was during the French
and Indian war In 1853, when he was
captured near Fort Anne, New York
which had been built by the English
the previous year.
Putnam was in command of a
corps OF 500 rangers, English and
Provincials. about a mile from tho
fort in August OF the year named
They were attacked by an equal num-
ber of French and Indians under the
famous partisan Molang. Putnam and
his men had been sent to watch the
Indians in the neighborhood of IL
conderoga He was accompanied by
Major Rogers.
When they arrived at South bay, an
expansion of Lake ChamplaIn, near
Whitehall, the two leaders separated
taking with them their respective di-
visions, but being discovered by the
watchful Molang, they deemed 1t eX-
pedient TO reunite and return imme-
diately to Fort Edward.
Their troops were marched in three
divisions. the right commanded by
Rogers. the left by Punam and the
center by Captain Dalzell. They halt
ed at evening on the border of Clear
river a fork of Wood creek, and
within a mile of Fort Anne. Early in
the morning, while the lines were
forming, Major Rogers. regardless of

Happy Canyon Pavilion Has
Answered Many Good Uses

Though Happy Canyon pavilion was
built for the entertainment of towns-
people and visitors during the even.
ings OF Roundup Week, 1t is prov
ing an asset to Pendleton all through
the year. 1t fills a long felt need
and from a civic standpoint is prov
ing a good investment.
Many times throughout the year a
need arises for a pavilion larger
than any of the halls in the city and
during the past year Happy Can
yon" has proved the solution. Thus,
when the Pendelton automobile men
decided to put on an auto show, Hap
py Canyon pavilion afforded them
the necessary room. Rather say the
existence of Happy Canyon pavilion
stimulated them to put on an auto
show
The pavilion has a floor space
only a trifle smaller than the floor
space of the Multnomah county ar
mory where the Portland Auto Show
is held. Probably no other small city
in the northwest has a place as ideal
