SERGEANT BYERS
 LIKES THE SERVICE

Writing to friends at Flat City from Antonio, Tex, Sergeant Earl l.. Byers | tells of his first months service as an army man:
 Dear Friends: I have been in the service one month today and am get ting along nicely. I would have been commissioned shortly after my arrival at Seattle had it not been for my ears. My hearing is so defective that l was very nearly denied entrance into the army in any capacity. 1 could not get 1 into training school thru the Seattle 1 Aviation board, so l enlisted as pri- vate and was sent to Texas. h two weeks I became first sergeant and am ] now in command of my company, two hundred men, as we have not been as signed any army officer as yet. l am to take examination for commission in sixty days and have been promised a much less severe hearing test. l e1- pect to enter ground school here soon
 This is a great camp and 8 wonderful ! life. There are thirty thousand troops here and not one horse. All work is done with motor trucks, and officers and orderlies ride on motor cycles. The g. is full of planes and balloons all day long. I would not exchange my ex- perience here for Flat creek, and if only I can see some active foreign ser vice will be we'll content.
 One of the men just called me out of my tent to watch one of our fliers. He was up five thousand feet. He was falling tail first when got out, appar- ently hopelessly out of control. He strengthened up, went up way and come down head first, back up and down spinning round like leaf. Next he fell thousand feet on the side. All as easily as a swallow flies. We have some great men here. Merry he'll will break loose in Germany next spring when this bunch is turned loose. We will be raiding Berlin next summer just as surely as the war lasts that long. And it will not be single machines but hundreds and thousands of them. Every man here is on his toes, eager for a chance at the Hun. Kaiser Bill is to get large dose of real frightfulness.
 The trumpsts are sounding mess. l have to assemble the company and march them to supper. Will write again shortly. I hope to hear from you soon.

J. J. CROSSLEY OFF FOR FRONT

In Portland papers recently there ap- pears a photograph of James J. Cross ley and his wife and two babies taken just before his departure with the Third Oregon regiment for New York state. The picture is headed Little folk who said goodbye today to father in the army" MT. Crossley was form erly district attorgey for many years in Fairbanks, and is widely known all over Alaska. On going Outside he be- came prominently connected with na- tional guard activities, and was sent to the border at the time of the Mexican trouble. When the present war broke out he was commissioned captain with the regular-army troops from Oregon. He is now stationed in New York, waiting to be ordered across to some where in France.-Seward Gateway.

THANKS, LADIES

To the ladies of the camp q vast amount of credit is due for the splendid results of the two recent benefit dances and enter tainments - the Ladies' Red Cross Rally at Flat on the 9th, and the Alaska Pioneers func ton in Iditarod on the night of the 16th-for the American Red Cross. From one point of view, one would scarcely believe that two such affairs could be success full within a period of eight days, but to the Iditarod Pioneer, hav- ing for years noticed with pleas ure the splendid manner in which the noble women of the camp conduct affairs to get results, it is not surprising. There never was a community blessed with a better or nobler "passel of women folks" than is this.
 In the words of Tiny Tim, God bless them, everyone"
