Washington. u. C.-~May
~ to Franrc any Time.

der date of October Is. and It
being of general interest to our
readers we are glad to publish
same. Following is the letter.
We'll we arrived in Washing
ton, Sunday morning, Oct. 7th,
at about 9 o'clock. We left Camp
Dodge 8 p. m. Friday. Talk
about pretty down here. well
you have heard that Washington
was the prettiest city in the U.
S. A. Well it's no lie. This is
no camp like Camp Dodge tho.
There were $1,000 at Camp
Dodge, whereas there are only
about 1900 men here. We're
bound for France any day be-
tween now and a week from
Thursday. Pretty quick, Ell?
We are located at the Ameri-
can University grounds. They
raise pretty nice crops down
here, both in potatoes, corn and
other things. They have a few
places here where there are
Cedars and Jack Pines. They
plant potatoes quite a bit later
down here than they do up home,
there are potatoes here that are
just coming out of the ground.
l have been up to Washington
three times since l came here.
The second time | was up we
went to a dance, given just spe-
cially for the soldiers, no civil
ans allowed, all free refresh
ments and midnight supper too.
l could not get lost in Washing
ton now. We were in the House
of Representatives and in the
Senate and Capitol. l shook
hands with President Wilson,
we'll we all did, that is soldiers.
Nobody else but soldiers are al
lowed to go in and see him, no
alien soldier is allowed, that is,
| mean no one that hasn't got
his first papers. You see we are
camped in Washington but about
6 miles out from up town. There
are seven of the boys from Pine
County, who are in Company C
here in Washington. Thomas
Rasmussen got separated from
us; he is in Company B here.
got inoculated last Tuesday;
maybe you think that don't hurt.
My next one comes tomorrow,
you see we get three shots in
the arm with the hypodermic
needle, and the first one has 1000
units, the second has $4,000 and
the third has $1,000. They keep
getting stronger. The second is
always the worst, the third isn't
so bad.
We came thru some mighty
pretty country on the way down
here. We made the trip from
Chicago to Washington in %
hours. Pretty good time, eh?
Right straight thru only stopped
half an hour in Chicago. Did
you get my card l mailed you
when we were going thru Ohio.
You see l joined the engineer
corps and now l belong to the
Goth Engineers, Company C. I'm
sending you picture of our
Company here in Washington; it
cost us not a cent. The Red
Cross girls in Washington took it
for us and presented each one of
us with one. Can you see where
| am sitting? Am sitting on the

VAN HORNS WILL
BUILD Big PLANT

The tentative plans of Willis and
Bert Van Horn, whose orchard holdings
exceed those of any other local individ-
uals, to erect-a large warehouse on the
line of the Mount Hood Railroad Co.,
at Van Horn station, have perhaps
given rise to the erroneous rumors that
he growers, who also market their ap-
Piles grown here together with barreled
fruit produced in New York orchards,
would erect huge cold storage plant
here and become factor in the local
market.
The Van Horns own large interests
in the Upper Valley, in the Willow
Flat district, and two tracts aggregat-
ing 80 acres near Van Horn station. T.
A. Decker, local representative of the
fruit men, says that the need of ware
house facilities has been felt for some
years, and that plans have been tenta-
lively discussed for the construction of
a warehouse and assembling plant at
Van Horn station large enough to han
die the fruit of all the tracts.
Nothing definite has been settled
on" says Mr.. Decker, but the Van
Horn interests will certainly erect no
storage plant. Willis Van Horn is one
of the chief owners of large terminal
storage plant in New York city. 1t is
his desire to get his apples on board
refrigerator cars and shipped to the
eastern storage as soon as possible. If
the proposed warehouse is built, it will
be no more than packing plant.
"The fruit from the adjoining orch
ards will be hauled direct to the plant,
and the apples from up valley points
will be shipped down loose.to be packed

SHEPARD PROTESTS
COLD STORAGE BILL

E. II. Shepard, a member of the
board of directors of the Apple Grow
ers Association, looks with alarm at
the introduction of cold storage bill
in the lower hosue of congress which
would make it unlawful for apples to
be stored for longer period than 80
days.
every fruit grower. every shipping
concern and every one interested in the
fruit industry should sit up and take
notice." says Mr.. Shepard. They
should get in touch with their respect
i've congressman and senator's and point
out the menace this bill would be. 1t
would work hardship on the North
west as well as the entire consuming
public.
''If apples cannot be placed in cold
storage for a greater period than W
days it will mean that the balance of
the crop that cannot be sold at harvest
time, in the month of October, will
have to be placed in cold storage in
October and it would be unlawful for
them to remain there longer than Jan
uary. Consequently the crop of apples
of the United States would have to be
consumed, if people wanted to eat them
in prime condition, in about four
months. The result would be an i'm.
mense supply of good apples a part OF
the season, with practically none left
toward the latter part of the season, q
condition that would affect grower and
consumer both seriously.
"Apples when placed in cold storage
remain at temperature of about 81
degrees. 1t affects the condition OIL
quality of the fruit in no way, simply
arresting maturity. Winter apples ir
cold storage will keep with compare
lively small loss, commercially, for 9
period of six months. Apples placed
in ordinary storage lose their flavor
aroma, spiciness and juciness in from
60 to 80 days, some varieties in less
time. The only way these qualities car
be retained through the consuming
season is by cold storage.

burgs and Newtowns in cold storage il

boxes of these were taken out and con
sumed in the months Of March, Apil
May and June. They were in abso
lutely first class condition. Some O.
the Newtowns are still there in excel
lent condition, having been there for
year and three months. -

Car Shortage Still Acute

Officials of the Apple Growers Asso-
citation declare that the car shortage
situation locally was more acute last
week than at any time last fall. The
Association according to Wilmer Sieg,
was 100 freezers short, and was unable
to fill the numerous orders pouring in.
"But for the shortage of cars, !"
says Mr.. Sieg, I'VE would soon be able
to get the seasons apple business

that for 20 miles in Wyoming one of
the double tracks of the Union Pacific
system is filled with loaded freight
cars, piled up at that point because of

PASTOR SAYS LIQUOR
FOR BRITISH SOLDIERS
ROBS PEOPLE OF SUGAR

Criticism of the rum ration of the
British army formed a part of the
Thanksgiving sermon delivered by
Rev. l.. l.. LoofbourOw, pastor of the
Methodist church, at the union service
in Central Union church yesterday
morning. The minister referred gen.
orally to Great Britains war policy in
the matter of prohibition, and pointed
out that, while distillers are using 65,-
100000 bushels of grain annually, the
nation is growing only sufficient grain
for one OF each six loaVes of bread
needed. The minister said, in part:
The English brewers use six per
cent of her sugar, and the rest Eng
land gives out on food ration basis.
When the Y M. C. A. ordered ton of
sugar in England once for the tea and
coffee of the men in the trenches they
got fifty pounds. f But the brewer had
what he needed! When the British
Tommy is wounded and in the hospi.
tai he has had to go without sugar for
considerable periods, but the public
house across the way can provide it
to its patrons.
ut is not a square deal Neither to
the children nor to the Tommies."

GERMAN PHILOSOPHY is
SCORED BY BISHOP IN
THANKSGIVING SERMON

Thanks to God that the United
States mas entered the war, ready to
sacrifice blood and treasure, so that
man may be freed from the reign of
force, formed the keynote of a stirring
sermon delivered in st. Andrews Ca
thedral yesterday morning by Right
Rev. Henry Bond Restarick, Episcopal
bishop of Honolulu.
IF this country were not at war
with the powers of evil, if it had stood
back hoping to enjoy material benefit
from the warfare of others, if it had
stood willing to see oppression, cru,
city and lust triumphant, provided that
We were not hurt in hide or wallet,
ten We should have done will to have
set apart this day as one of humili.
alton, as being dereliCt to our duty as
men, and our ideals, as Americans, "
said the bishop.
and here We are met by the stern
fact that despite the splendid show
ing of real patriotism in the United
States, there are among us large mum
bers of men and women who were
born in alien lands and brought .ur
under a philosophy and with ideals
which if carried out would in the end
be absolutely destructive of the Amer,
lean government"
