tioral and thoroughly military dur
,ng the hours when the soldiers are
not under contractor control. The
food, OF chow as the soldiers call
il, is the finest, and the men enjoy
and praise it,
The men and officers are more
than satisfied. Many of them are
eager to get to France--in fact, all
of them with whom ! talked were
burning with desire to be in the real
iight-but they realize that in the
spruce woods they are doing even
more to win the war than would be
possible for them in France, and are
animated by the spirit of doing their
rpruce production duties just as rap
idly and efficiently as they can be
performed.
Captain Brown has had some diff
ficult problems to solve with refer
ence to bcotlegging, gambling and
questionable women, the three things

army operation. With the help Of
Governor Withycombe. the local au-
thorit!ss and the contractors, he has
kept the situation cleaned up amaz-
.ngly well. The moral atmosphere
Of the camps and vicinity is splendid
and yirile. There were only two
cases Of vene-eal disease among the
5000 men. a fact that speaks well
FOR the personnel OF the men and the
efficiency Of the military and civil
authorities.
The magnitude Of the whole
spruce operation in the Pacific north

outside Of those actually concerned

WONDERS ARE WORKED
IN OREGON FORESTS

Soldier labor, supervised by civil
ian experts, is working wonders in
railroad construction and spruce log
Cing in the forest region tributary
TO YaQuima bay, according to C. c.
Chapman, editor of the Oregon Vot-
er, who returned recently from eight
days in the woods.
Every patriotic heart would thrill
to see what is being accomplished on
so vast a scale in actual production
OF airplane spruce, and also in rail
road timber" said Mr. Chapman.
Every parent will be interested to
learn of the splendid care taken of
the soldiers, as to feeding, sanitation,
recreation and military training.
More than 200 soldiers are put
ting in eight hours a day in logging
or construction work on this unit of
the spruce production division, and
before long $500 soldiers will be on
this one job. The men are all Or
ganized on a military basis, in com
panies. or squadrons as they are call
Cd in the signal service, and are liv-
ing in fine, clean camps of from so
to $50 men each.
Actual logging is already in prog
ress on large scale at the end of
short line OF soldier built railroad
south OF Toledo The soldiers have
been broken in by civilian loggers to
luck the saw and swing the ak, and
1t is splendid TO watch their clean
and efficient work telling the mighty
spruce trees. Originally 1t was in
tended to extend this railroad line
farther north into the Siletz basin,
but an easier, less costly and much
quicker line was found along the
coast north from the bay, and this is
Icing rushed to completion. The To-
ledo line has been justified abund-
antly by the spruce it already has
reached and which is being cut and
forwarded by the trainload daily to
Vancouver, Washington.
by October it is proposed to have
both new lines Of railroad completed
and in operation, a result hat is stu
pendous when it is cons. lared that
the idea OF building the railroads was
only conceived in the middle Of last
winter. The survey was heroic
piece Of work, the brush lo,ng SO
thick that the Instrument men had
10 chop their way through In the
drerching rain and actually build
tires every little while to dry OF their
instruments so they could ure them
Captain Harmon, a Montara abroad
engineer with a long record behind
him, gave up remuneratiYe private
employment to take the surveying
task, and worked night and day with
corps Of assistants under Il ghtful
conditions to rush the survey through

in cooperation with state experiment
stations. There are indications that
this crop may be specially useful in
regions where the growing season
is too cool for the production OF large

and the first years results let the in
