true and il may, of course, be so
some time, but it hasn't come along
INST vet. / am yet a long way from

the boys from home, and what they
are doing. .. We have been issued
cur overseas equipment and are eX-
Meeting to leave here for somewhere
In France some time in the early

Away up in Jack London's coun-
try. the Puget Sound district, the
Bourbon county boys who left here
some time ago, the ''misftS," as they
are pleased to call themselves, are
active in Uncle Sans service. The
following letter is from one of them,
Mr.. William E. Mitchell, under date
of August Is:
y Joyce, Washington.
THE NEWS: At last the prom
ised letter that / was going to let
you have. Sorry to say 1 haven't
gathered as yet all the material for
that Jack London story you wanted
NE TO write. Il have just gotten
settled down, and found out where
am at. Please do not make an
article out of this, as it is protected
by all kinds of copyrights. We had
q most wonderful trip coming West,
and the entire crowd seemed to en-
Joy it very much. Of course, as you
know, good friends cannot stay to-
gether always, and our crowd was
soon broken up. l stayed in Van
couver fifteen days, and then re,
coixrod nr6orcs 70 Aol
timber, and accordingly made my de-
parture on Sunday last .. jake
SalOshin left on Saturday ahead Oh
me. We got word that he was leav-
ing, so the rest of us hung around
TO give him a last farewell. 1t sure
was an ideal night for such a thing
to happen. A real dark night and a
light rain drilling down. Made us
feel kind of creepy. You could see
the boys running around in the camp
Soon time came and WI gate kht
hearty handshake, fandI the bow
marched away ;. The. crowd that 8
left with moved in the daytime and
did not attract So much attention.
Our first ride was by rail to Seattle
There we took steamer for Pert
Angeles, located on the opposite side
of Puget Sound, which, by the way
is some body Of water. We then took
the train to Joyce, Washington. Re
NAMED there about five days, and
then started for this place? Took q
truck out of Joyce and rode for five
miles until we reached Lake Ores
cent, ferried it for nine miles, and
hnally reached camp about one mile
from thes lake. -. My paper is run
ming short, so will close. Will give
you more news next time. With re-
CARDS to Everybody. = e+ra.> FU
