From Camp Stanley.

E. D. Barger.


Dear readers of The News:
AS it has been some time since
l contributed any news to your
paper. [ will try to give you
little sketch of the life of Uncle
Sans boys. Our daily routine
some times becomes monotonous
but it is all for our good, so with
out saying anything we grit our
teeth and plod on. We get up at
$50 each morning, stand roll call
at 6, then get 20 minutes leg,
arm and body exercise, then po-
lice up and make ready for break
fast. Immediately after break
fast everybody gets busy clean
ing up in and around quarters.
At 8 we fall out for drills and etc,
We have some amusements here,
such as boxing and ball playing,
and every few days we get to see
a real boxing contest. l am on
the ball team, but don't like to
play, as we have to play on Sat-
urdays and sundays. We do not
drill but five days each week.
Tuesday we have field day at the
fair grounds. This Company is
expecting to win in several of
the contests so you see We have
! plenty of excitement. The army
in general has a hard name. In
civilian life the army would look
that way, you would not expect
it to be a place of refinement.
This is a great crisis of the world
and it depends on the U. s., to
start the world going smoothly
again. Any Young man that has
not a mother to support should
by all means enlist. But no, they
fear death or afraid to leave
Mama. That is alright at times,
but now is a time not to think of
Mama, death or anything else,
rather than the fall of our Flag"
that has stood so long for our
freedom. Every one knows that
mother and home means more
than any two words we can utter,
but for the love and protection
of mother and home, lets all unite
in one strong body, for already
our enemies and our allies are
laughing at us for having so
many slackers. The people of
the U. S. are proud, but are we
proud enough not to stand the
scorn of the sister Republics.
They are in the trenches fight
ing as volunteers deprive them
selves of everything for freedom
and here we have men strong
and robust, but are to afraid to
fight. The officers say, a man
driven to protect his flag and
home should be found no mercy
in their treatment. Men lived
on parched corn, waded the
snow knee. deep even they didn't
have to be made fight, and now
with all modern improvements
and the latest defense, nourish-
ing food three times per day nice
quarters and warm bed to sleep
in. We should not be driven.
For the sake of our flag and
home, we should start moving
and swear by the Almighty, the
flag and home stand forever.
With respect,
Clarence Marshall.

zines to take us to the top, but
when we got to the top one of
our engines turned back and we
went ahead down the other side
at rapid rate.
l stopped off at Salt Lake city, |
and went to see the Mormon |
Temple and Tabernacle, which
are very fine buildings. also
went out to Salt Lake that night.
They have all kinds of amuse-
ment going on out there, some
dancing, some bathing, and 9TH
er things too numerous to men
ton. The water in the lake has
a very obnoxious odor-you can
smell it for Two miles away.
They told me that they Gid not
know what caused it to be that
way, and that it had been that
way for about two years. Salt
Lake City is one of the cleanest
and the most beautiful cities |
ever saw.
Aberdeen is a very pretty little
city on the harbor. There is a
vast amount of manufacturing
and ship building going on here.
One thing that would be of inter-
est to the eastern people is that
the city was built on stills in the
beginning, but a greater part of
the city has been filled in by
pumping sand out of the harbor
and by turning large streams OF
water on the mountain sides and
washing them down in the valley.
Then another thing is the board
driveways, or as we Kentucky
people would say plank drive
ways. They are fifteen feet
wide, made of lumber four in
ches thick nailed to runners to
hold them up out of the mud in
the rainy season. There is one
of these roads that is forty miles
long. In Adair county we can't
get enough timber to crosslay
mudhole in the middle of the
road.
The strike was just beginning
the week that l arrived here.
All the shipyards and mills of ev
cry kind on the harbor have been
closed for about eight weeks ex-
cept the GTays Harbor Lumber
Mill and the Grays Harbor Iron
and Steel Co. The strikers
would go and picket these mills
when the men would come out
for noon and at night and cal
them scabs, but the Mayor called
out the soldiers that were sta
toned here, and they arrested
several of their leaders and put
stop to so much picketing in this
town. The l. W. WIS, set fire
to the forests and destroyed sew
eral large lumber mills and thou
sands of dollars of sawed lCm'
Der. <
The government is taking ovel
some of the shipyards here anC
completing the ships that the
companies had started for the
Government. We have about
five shipyards here, and severa
large lumber mills. The Hoqui
am Sash and Door Co., started
up work again, by putting or
girls instead of men, the girls
are all wearing overalls in the
plant, and when you see one com
ing, it is hard to tell whether il
is lady or gentleman.

KEPT HIS PROMISE
Paid Back $4,000 Pesos He Forced
Bankers TO Give Him to Feed
Hungry Men.

One morning Emilio Zapata issued
two proclamationS. One was pro-
hibition edict closing the saloons; the
other a command for the bankers of
the city to assemble for conference,
The bankers attended the meeting.
They went in fear, dreading confiSca'
ton of their deposits. Only few
days before the armies OF General Car
rama had collected n "fOrced loan ot
ten million pesos from the banks.
What mercy could be expected OF the
bandit leader?
Zapata's speech was short and "a
the point. "Caballeros," he said, my
men are hungry. | want 10000 pesos
TO feed them for a few days. You will
pay this. | promise you protection
You may carry on your business with
out molestation as long as you do not
aid tile enemy. You may go when you
sign the order for the money" Thank
full to escape with such q modest de-
mand. the bankers did as they were
ordered. Zapata kept his part OF the
bargain. and for months the city was
better policed than il has ever been
since Porfirio Diaz was driven from
Mexico. But this is the strange part
of the story-strange To one who
knows the system OF conhscation
which has bled the business men of
the country. Ten days later Zapata
paid back the $4,000 pesos.

Tire Picked Up Gold Dust.

Helena, Mont, folk may pick up
gold nuggets in the streets, but Kali
ispeIl, Mont, man has gone them one
better. His gold is gathered by blow
outs In his motor car castings.
A man named Geesland had a blow
out recently and the casing gathered
up the gold for him. The only thing
to worry about is whether the gold is
sufficient to pay for the blowout.
Geesland took his torn casing to a
Kalispell garage for repairs. and il
was sent to shop in Spokane. A let
ter was received from the tire house
saying:
Several particles of gold were
found in the black sand that remained
in the casing"

TO THE PUBLIC.

As commissioner Of agriculture and
labor, it is my duty and desire to call
the attention Of all citizens Of the
state, and particularly those in con-
troll of civic affairs in the cities, viii
lagos and towns to the law which was
enacted by the last legislative assem-
bly, for the eradication of the shrub
known as the Burberry Bush.
It has been proven by the eradica-
ton work done by the government OF
Denmark that the barberry is es-
sential to the existence of black stem
rust of wheat in that country.
1t has been proven by the ablest
plant Psychologists of the United
States, and particularly of the spring
wheat states, that these bushes DC
harbor this destructive disease and
that each bush can be shown to be a
great public nuisance.
l am, therefore, writing this to So
licit the prompt compliance with the
law enacted which orders that all such
bushes be eradicated at once. The
time is short when these shrubs un-
der favorable conditions will be scat
tering the rust disease by the winds,
beginning the early part of June, SO
the bushes should be destroyed before
that time. -
May l not hope that each owner will
at once, without waiting for an order
from the county commissioners, or
from me, dig up the bushes on his
premises, or any land controlled by
him.
The shrub in most cases is not OF
old growth and is in no case difficult
to eradicate. It will die at once If one
