A, [. BONEBRAKE. TELLS IF LIFE
 Al CAMP LEWIS.

ways most popular young men and \ who two years ago was employed by Keller Bros. as pharmacist, has written 8 letter to Herman Miller from Camp Lewis, describing in a general way camp life. The let ter is dated March 2, and is so in teresting that we print a part or it:
 "This camp life is certainly not all a bed of roses. From 5:45 a. m. until 9:30 p. m. with very short stops for refreshments and the ad- ditional privilege of remaining up until II o'clock to study is the usual program with very littel variance. One of the officers drills us all morning and part cf the afternoon with the exception of a couple Of hours for conferences, and then about 3:S0 a fresh one steps in and takes Us for practice march, or more appropriately a practice run' for an hour and a half. Study hours are from seven until nine, with the additional privilege have mentioned, but needless to say not many avail themselves of the op- portunity. Along ahcut 9:3O the only thing fellow is thinking about is the quickest route to the hay.
 'I was pretty lucky when I came in and was assinged to one of the artillery units. It means a lot more work than in the infantry as the work is much more technical, but personal bravery was never one of my distinguishing characteristics and I figured that the farther away from the trenches I could get the better I would like t.
 "They considered it essential for an artillery officer to be able to ride a horse with some degree of lcarelessness and with view of bringing this condition about have collected a bunch of theoritically broken horses and each day they take 25 of us down to the barns and give us a lesson. It must have been funny to watch us at first be cause there were anything up to a dozen fellows piled every morn inr. We are improving though, and as long as the supply of talcum powder holds out we will make it.
 ''I saw Dr. Westermann several times after first came to the camp, but he was transferred short ly after to the Military Police and | I haven't seen him lately. This camp is like regular city and un- less we happened to live near each other we might not meet for a year He Is captain as you probably know, and certainly looks well. He is about 40 pounds lighter than when you last saw him. He had re- ceived a letter from Ken Hannah shortly after the first of the year. Ken. was in London at the time, though he expected to leave for the front very soon. He was an ticipating commission as lieuten- ant In machine gun company. Well, Ken. Is an able fellow and I'm sure he would make good any place they but him.
 Have seen the Landsboroughs and Cookie" once since they came down. Mrs. Landsborough Is in California on visit believe and Lloyd is working in one of the Seattle banks. Am figuring on a regular old time party when you come down this spring.
 within the last two weeks I've had two vaccinations and two shots in the arm for typhoid and due for the final shot tomorrow. The vac cinations have not taken, for which am duly thankful, but the ty- phoid shots are certainly fierce. Each one puts a fellow up for about two days with sore arm and poor disposition for social duties. Our work at first was rather monotonous as there was so much detail and routine but lately we have been getting some practical ap- plications of principles which are more than interesting. We have been out several times and construct ed battery supplements and have watched one of the batteries in action on the artillery range be- sides having some very interesting
