UNDER FIRE y HOURS

Sergeant Clarence Bean, former
Pendleton young man, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles f. Bean of Elgin, and a
nephew sof Mrs. II! e. Bickers of this
has -reoeivevd his baptism of fire. by
carrying wounded from the field for
~ hours without rest when sent to the
aid of the Australians in great bat
tie. The experience is graphically told
in the following letter received by his
parents:
Abroad. Sept, 1918.
1t has been some little time since
Il have written you. But believe me it
u not because haven't been thinking
of you daily-it has been simply be-
cause time and opportmitg would not
permit. War is very disagreeable in
that way some times-just when you
want to really do something, some one
spoils by making you do something
quite different.
We are rockies no longer. We have
all seen war from the furtherest re-
serve to the most forward point For
the period of an emergency we were
sent to reinforce the Australians, as
YOU mention in your last letter, and
we took part in a large and important
battle, which you in the States read
about and have no doubt by this time
forgotten. We landed in France as
you know and a very short while we
were attached to the division we were
to support and Immediately went into
line. 1t was peace times there; things
very rarely happened-aHd our lads
were mighty disappointed.
The front was nothing like we ex-
pected, nothing at all. Why, troops
walked around and over the top up
to within 500 feet of the front lines
and we didn't see any wounded for
days. Our infantry was wild. Was this
what they came over for? Not much!
They wanted to fight, and keep fight
ing all the time. But you can see we
were new. and didn't understand.
The British here had no field hospital
and so we were all made stretcher
bearers. which means that we got into
the trenches with the infantry and
carry back wounded. 1t doesen't
sound so bad on paper does it, put
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1918-10-29

then consider that the trenches are
only about three feet wide and 1t
takes four men to a patient and 1t is
done shoulder high, so the stretcher
bearer has to climb out on top of the
trench. in the face of all the Fritzs
guns and carry on, never stop until
you reach the next relay post and then
turn to fight back at the enemy that s
fighting you all the time.
But to go back to peace times. as
was saying, times were quiet. But in
a few days we came OUT and after
marching a few kilos we turned and
marched into another seotor-there
we saw war. Every battery, every.
silent battery and hundreds of others
that had just been moved in were all
pounding their hardest. The earth
trembled and shook until you could
hardly stand and il looked as tho the
whole world was enveloped in smoke
and flames. our big guns never ceased
pounding with their boom. boom and
intermingling with the rat. tat. tat. of
the machine guns--and then the whizs
bang from Fritz's side would pass you
what had been peace was now He'll.
We got to the front lines and was
in charge of 2S men and the boys were.
packs or guns, and in a minute we
started back with wounded. How we
all got out of that fight I'll never
know. The shrapnel was bursting so
fast and thick over the ground that 1t
was red hot and the world looked like
it was actually burning up. Bullets
whistled past us and banged over our
tin hats, and our hearts were banging
like trip hammers and we all felt
like we wanted to scream.
But back and forth we went, carry
ing one way and running back as fast
as we could with our stretchers for
more wounded. We got tired and got
over it; we got so that we had no feel
ing at all; we got hungry and we got
over that; we got thirsty and we took
the canteens off the dead-10, 20, 80
AS hours we worked, never stopping,
and then at the end of ~ hours. when
the wounded were all off the field we
dropped in the road and slept whaA
seemed like days. An officer awoke
me and things that happened seemed
like dream. 1 called the roll and az
/ looked into their faces l saw faces
than no longer belonged to boys but
to old men, men who had gone thru
hell-God. that roll call was a strain
as edCn man HdS Csiiitu GNtis bIt iANiN
their breath and listened. Everyone
of my men answered here.
BY some miracle of God not one Of
us had been scratched, tho hundreds
fell on every side.
But II is over now. and never again
will | ever see anything like it.
Never again will we have to go over
the top-we are now back in our own
system to stay.
at took every ounce of physical
ard moral courage a man had to see
nothing but mangled and dead forms
eor days and is a sight that makes
some men insaIW. To do your duty in
the thickest> Of the fight, to he slapped
in the face but never able to slap
back is the worst of all. Yet am glad
have dpnc It. and If ! have to go
again. viii do IT,. but hope l never
have to go thru It again.

"MY DOCTOR IS GONE
To the War"--Why Not Use the Good
Proprietary Medicines?

The ingredients of good prepared
or proprietary medicines are those
used by successful physicians in
prescriptions. In most cases they
are better combined in prepared
medicines, which are produced in a
large way, with the best pharmaeal
facilities, than they can be otherwise.
In the absence Of the doctors who
have heroically gone to war, Hood s
Sarsaparilla, Peptiron, a real iron
tonic, and Hoods Pills, the gentle
catbartic, all of which have great
merit, are more and more used in
diseases of the blood, nerves, stom-
ach, liver, kidneys and bowels.
Get one, two or all three today and
begin treatment at once.

Potlatch Highway District

At a meeting of the Nez Perce
county commissioners at Lewiston
Monday the returns from the cleo
tion, held at Leland, Oct. 5, were
canvassed. The vote was over
whelmingly in favor of forming
Highway District, the returns show
ing Is in favor and 6 against Great
ing the distict. The board adopt
ed a resolution declaring the dis
trict created. The governor will
appoint three commissioners to gov
ern the new district. AS a rule
this appointment is nothing more
nor less than an Endorsement of the
commissioners selected by the dis
trict itself.
There are about Al sections of
land embraced in the new highway
district. The southern boundary is
the north boundary of the Clear
water highway district and the east
ern boundary is Bedrock creek and
the range line between townships
l and 2. The north boundary is
Latah county line and the west
boundary the Potlatch creek. On
the east there are eleven townships,
including Southwick and locality,
which lie between the new distict
and the North Fork highway dis
trict of Clearwater county. 1t is
thus noted that practically all the
territory north of the Clearwater
in Nez Perce and Clearwater coun-
ties is now organized into highway
districts.

Sow Wheat Too Early

Leonard Davis of Leland believes
that most of the fall grain in this
section is sowed too early. He and
his father have both raised wheat
in the Potatch for a good many
years and Mr.. Davis bases his theory
on his own personal observation.
Early sowed fall grain, he believes,
grows too much straw the following
spring. 1t is generally recognized
that heavy straw does not neces-
sarily mean a big yield of grain.
He also thinks there is a better op-
portunity for late sowed grain to
form strong roots during the early
spring if there isn't to much sub
stance to be supported. He tells of
one instance where he finished SOW
ing a field just before the ground
froze up for the winter. The fol-
lowing spring when the snow melt
ed, there was apparently nothing
growing on the ground. At har-
vest time, however, he threshed So
bushels of grain to the acre from
this field. A difference in seasons,
of course, might make some differ
ence In the best time to SOW the
grain.
