\ letter from Marshall to a local party dated July A states that the first cleanup of the season was being made on that day, the considerable delay being due to the cold weather which had continued up to that time.

Recent arrivals from the Casade- paga section say that there is at present a decided shortage in food supplies in that section owing to the absence of transportation facilities since the sale of the Steigelmer, Me Lean freighting outfit. which has for years been depended on by the min CTS to transport their supplies from Solomon and East Fork. The dredges are also reported undergoing difficult ties owing to the absence of teams as dredgc repair parts which are bad ly needed are held up until the own CTS can secure teams. The arrivals also say that the discontinuance of steady freighting has resulted in a very poor mail service against which the miners are loudly complaining. Mails are said to be arriving about once a month and frequently entail ing great delay in securing provis- sions and other supplies.

homes, their lives, everything about
them, was simplicity of the finest

simplicity is typically American, The
great Democracy in the world was
founded upon that idea. 1t was to get
away from the gaudiness Of European
trappings and royalty that the first
even if their other object was to get

America is looking into itself There

Nc are looking into the innermost
soul of the nation. There is also at

are going back, in our minds, to the
days when parents sacrificed their
lives and treasure that we might en-

And when we consider all these things,

advantages to tho men. The out
standing fact is that men trained in
the South would have weather con-
titions permitting Of their being out
of doors practically all Of every day.
We would rather accept the word
of Ma jor General Wood and the back
ing OF this word by Major General
Gorgas u sanitary cNEcIt, when it
comes to discussing the advantages
or disadvantages of training camps
than listen to the political Jargon and
the brain cell Of a politician. There
has been tco much politics played as
it is. The United States Army Off
GERS who recommended the training
site at Charlotte for Northern SOL
diers did not do so With the idea of
enriching any deniuens of that local
than mercenary. This reason is
specifically stated by General Gorgas
who should know his business. He
is a physician Of the highest type.
The site was chosen because of It's
advantages to the health Of those to
be trained.
Without being an uthority on SAN
itsttion or health, there are many men
who can see the advantage of train
ing our troops in a climate that en-
ables them being out of doors almost
every day Of the year, rather than
having them sent to some Of our
northern precincts where they might
be snow bound from December to
March. Political influences have had
little or nothing to do with the
choosing of the Charlotte site. Nor
was there any move on the part Of
Southern statesmen to bring the
me ney Of Northern soldiers that way.
Those who believe there has been
something Of this sort can md ccnso-
lation in the thought that the site
where our New England boys are to
be trained has been named Camp
Green" in honor of a New Englander,
famous commander in the Con-
tirental Army.
