How Recruits Are
Received At Camp

A California man who recently
vent to American Lake describes the
routine there. AS all recruits go
.hout the same route, we reprint
.ome of his letter as a matter of in
terest, as follows:
The boys arrived in camp Saturday
with a perfect setting of Washington
weather, rain, and it has continued
;ntermittently ever since. Needless
TO say they were CHEEKY. but strong
for California sunshine.
Very often recruits are received at
noon and are hustled into the ranks
for drill at l p. m.
The atmosphere is very democratic
except during drill. Officers are do
ing everything to make the men COM
Portable.
Legache soon takes the place of
heartache. and all seem happy. except
few cases to which fate has been
most unkind.
At the depot we were taken in hand
BY lieutenant and marched to
rope enclosure in front of the adju-
tant's tent. Here those who had
charge were called out one at time
and relieved Of their papers (copies
of each mans registration card) also
his medical examination. The names
we're then given to lieutenant and
he called US out and formed us into
a company. Then came the march
to the quarters. and during the
march we had a chance to realize the
magnitude of the camp. We knew
why they told US to bring light bag
gage. for my suitcase weighed ton
and / heard several comments from
others.
We placed our baggage in the bar
racks and then marched to nearby
storehouses and received and filled
mattresses with straw. marched back
and carried our cots upstairs. and
then were issued two blankets, which
by the way were not enough for US
Of sunny California. and we received
an extra one. Then we were in
structed as to how our cots were to
be made and after that marched to
the mess hall. If | had not been do
ing the same thing myself, | would
never have been recognized by fellow
members. for they were making the
grub disappear so fast the walters
couldn't keep up with them.

Price. May Cause Stock Loss

One of the big stock owners of
Humboldt County, in speaking of OBJ
stacles confronting cattlemen. esti-
that with hay at SIS a ton it costs
about % cents per day to feed cow
or steer. To feed one animal month
would cost So. 40 and for 1000 head
$84OO. If it were necessary to feed
for three months. the hay alone for
1000 cattle would cost $25. 200. in ad-
dition to the cost of labor in feeding.
This extraordinary cost will pre-
vent feeding in many cases. and II
the Winter should be hard one will
result in great losses on the range.

officers of different divisions have all
kinds of stunts to discover men for
their particular use. such as truck
drivers. mechanics, cooks, mule skin
ners. etc.
We all get a chance to show our
domestic qualities. You have to
smile and like it though, as this is no
place for crouch.

it is called-kitchen police-means

We are anxious for the uniforms.
SO that we can get tie rookie out of
our minds, or rather the minds of
those who see us. We all want to be
good soldiers-in fact it is marvellous
the way the men who have just
stepped out of civilian life have over
night changed from giving COM
mands to receiving and executing
them cheerfully. There is never a
question or scowl; everything
smile and song.
Something more about the camp is
learned from other sources. The

possible.
Six buildings are provided for edu-
cational work. and 36 class rooms are
under the supervision of a qualified
superintendent. Men of no more
than grammar school attainments
can take high school work. and pro-
vision is made for even the university
graduate to advance himself further
in knowledge.
The Army Y. M. C. A. has erected
six buildings for the use and comfort
of the men. Those places are open
at all times, providing recreation.
amusement. companionship, and all
the comforts and conveniences that
honest and intelligent effort and
money can provide. Fifty trained
men are in charge of this benefcence.
They arrange picture shows. musical
programs and athletic tournaments.
The Government has completed a
sanitary survey five miles in every di-
rection from the camp, and taken
steps to remove every influence con-
sidered harmful.
Camp Lewis has two miles of deep
water frontage on Puget Sound. has
a fresh water lake. and water sup

trict as a producer of Silver Ore,
would say, this camp is known as one
of the richest Silver producers in this
country. and is particularly famous
for the richness of its ore and extent
OF its ore deposits, which seem almost
inexhaustible. as some of the earliest
producing mines of this district are
still among the largest shippers of
high grade ore.
The shipments from the before
mentioned district is onw averaging
over $4,000 per tor. which is probably
the highest average for Silver and
Lead ore of any mining camp in the
country, which is also one of the
largest producers.
Another favorable condition of this
district is the absolute lack of failure,

extends. having an exceptional sue.

OF 1t many years, as well as at George

innate knowledge of the output, as
well as the discovery of many of the
mines
The ores which have been extracted
from this mountain have been of an
unusually high grade in silver Many
tons exceeding one thousand ounces
silver per ton have passed through my
hands. 1t Is true that rich ores have
also been taken from the adjacent
mountains, but there are none which
have record of as high a general
average from a like area.
In addition to mining l did a great
deal OF assaying in the early seven
ties, as we'll as purchased ores for
shipment to Europe, therefore this
statement is made not from hearsay
but from practical experience
In 1S12 the cost of shipment of ores

per ton, so that ores of less silver con-
tent than one hundred ounces per ton.

CARRANzA ASKED
TO SPARE LIVES
OF TWO PRIESTS
State Department Urges
Clemency to Accused in
Sedition Plot.

Washington, Jan. 22.-An earnest
appeal to Gen. .Carranza to spare the
lives of two Roman Catholic priests
arrested near Mexico CITY last week
and charged with sedition has hcen
made by the state department. The
priests were to be tricl to-day under
an old law giving the court the right
to impose the. death penalty without
appeal.
Ono is an archbishop, Monsignor
Francisco Orozco of Guada1ajara, and
the other is Bishop Miguel De La
More Of Zacatecas. Both are Mexi-
cans.
The department explained it's ac-
ton with the double motive of ,T11-
manity and to prevent the de facto
government from sanctioning an act
whose character it was felt would
shock other nations.
The charges against the priests are
that they were implicated in a plot
to further Villas plans for the over
throw of Carranza. 9'he information
received at the state department lii
Dictated little basis for the charges.

PATRONS MUST
FURNISH Their
OWN POTATOES

London Jan. 22-The scarcity of
foodstuffs in Germany, especially in
Berlin, is increasing, according to an
Amsterdam dispatch to Reuters quot
ing Berlin newspapers. From Dec.
% to Dec %, according to the dis
patch, the maximum supply per CAPT.
ia, was three pounds of potatoes and
four pounds of kohlrabi. From
Dec. "a to Dec. 81, rations of seven
ounces Of flour were available but for
an entire week the consumer could
only get three ounces of butter and
no margarine.
The dispatch says that people ap-
plying for popular feeding in Berlin
increased last week to $4,000. Res
taurant keepers informed their Gus
toners that they may bring potatoes
to the eating houses where they will
be. cooked for them. Because of the
shortage of coal theaters and restaur-
ants are said to have been INSULT
GENTLY heated in the last few days
and many persons who attended the
theaters are reported to have sat
through the performance in fur coats.
The public swimming baths in Berlin
have been closed from Dec. %.
Voerwarts says that Gen. Groener,
head of the department of munitions,
told the auxiliary civil service COM
mission on Jan. 20 that the difficult
ties in railroad transportation, which
had created a serious situation, would
soon be overcome and that he hoped
the coal supply would be normal
again Cen. Gruener denied that
lack of meat was due to transporter
ton troubles and attributed it to in
adequate methods of distribution.
