From Jesse Sorenson.

U. S. S. Kearsage, April Give are
again in Boston for repairs. Our last
trip to sea was a rough one. The
waves came entirely over the ship, so
you can judge how rough 1t was, al
though l never got sick. When the
sea is calm and the moon shining
bright it is a pretty sight. The sea
air makes one feel fine. We were
towing some artificial periscopes for
the gunners on the other ships to
shoot at. They are about the size of
a fence post and are painted light
slate color. The gunners scored some
very good hits at two miles. If they
had been submarines they sure would
have been smashed. 1t is quite a
sight to see the large ships shoot at
the large targets II miles away. You
can see the fire long before you hear
the report, and the projectile can be
heard coming through the air, and
anyone with a keen eye can see it just
as it passes by. 1t makes noise like
a continuous roar of thunder. The
five-inch guns use Shells In the large
size guns the projectile is put in first,
then the powder, which is in bags, is
put in, and then fired by electricity
| am glad to be in port. When one

1 suppose you know by now that |
am not with the 161st Field Hospital
any more. l was transferred just a
month ago to the medical department
of the 10th Engineers, which is a
forestry regiment. l regret very much
being transferred, but | was very
lucky in drawing what | have. The
line of work here is somewhat differ
ent from what had been doing. When
am not busy here l am doing barber
work
Of course we all wish we were back
there, but as things are now couldn't
think of coming back, even though |
had nv choice. The more l think of
this war the more determined | am.
l want to be there when the kaiser
says he has had enough. This army
life is not like it was at one time.
We have all the comforts and privi-
leges that can be had under the cir
cumstances. A fellow must bear in
mind that he is not over here on a
Sunday school picnic. If you could
see these boys work you would soon
find that out l know all the war is
not being fought over here, and we
sure appreciate the little things done,
to say nothing about the big things
you are doing.
If you ever hear anyone say any
thing against the Red Cross back
there in the U. s., hit him one for
me. No one but a Stacker, coward or
German would do such mean |
thing.

Shearers Strike

Sheep shearers have taken advan-
tage of the labor situation and are en-
deavoring to hold up the sheepmen. A
strike for 20 cents a fleece was in
augurated last week, but was later
settled when the authorities took a
hand in the game under the sabotage
law. The men had been getting 10
cents a fleece, which netted them an
average of $50 day each.

Council Emmett Road

Editor Michaelson of the Council
Leader was in town Saturday. He
says the people of his section are
eager to build road connecting Coun-
Gil valley with Emmett and that
Adams county is already at work on
their end of the line. This road makes
a short cut to Boise, and Mr.. Mi
chaelson states that practically all
the travel from the upper end of the
Weiser valley would come this way
if good road was built. The Com
mercial Club will undoubtedly take
action in this matter.
