Three other fellows and myself are
sleeping in the attic of a private

The weather is very mild for this

The German people do not manifest
any hard feelings towards us, or at

very we'll. They have a pretty hard

Interesting News
From "Over There y

Monday mornings mail brought a
large consignment of letters from
the boys over there to their Medina
relatives. Among theme were sew
eral from Andrew Long to his moth
er, Mrs. Mary X. Long, together
with large package of pictures of
German landscape scenes, which are
very beautiful, and of hospital scenes,
showing operations on German pris-
oners. Most of the pictures are Of
high artistic merit, making them
doubly worthy of inspection, no less
than preservation.
A letter written by Andrew on
Dec. % is of special interest, as it
is one of the few letters he has writ
ten in which an attempt was made
to narrate definite account of his
experiences in the field. This letter
was written at Hohr, Germany, ex-
cerpts from which we herewith ap-
pend: ...
"We have moved from Coblenz and
l hated to leave, as it is fine town
and I left some mighty good friends.

Writing to his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. L. F. Carver, concerning the
last days. of the terrific fighting in
which his company took part and af-
the final cannon shot, their son, Mar
ion says:
"Our company was in the front
line. On the 10th of November we
heard rumors to the effect that an
armistice was to be signed and that
fighting would cease at II o'clock the
next day, the 18th.
"Believe me everybody was anx.
ious to be convinced of the truth OF
the rumor.< AS the fight resumed on
the morning of the 11th we counted
the hours and finally the minutes,
then those "big ones" would let loose
again and our spirits would take a
drop. Finally II o'clock came ana
with it the long-looked for cessation,
of firing. / think I heard the last
gun fired. All the afternoon we lis
tened and watched, but all was quiet
and that night we lay down in the
woods in peaceful sleep-no cannons
roaring and no fears of an air RAID,
which had been a regular part OF the
nights programs.
On the next day we moved out OF
the Argonne into a town called Vii
leiuantry, France, where we stald un-
til November II, when we started on
our march to the Rhine. We passed
through parts of France, Belgium
Luxembourg, into Germany, arriving
at the German border at Dilligan
near Braufast, on November 22. We
spent Thanksgiving day here and re:
sumed our march on Dec. l, and hlkeo
for nine days over some of the pret-
test country and also some OF the

at the Rhine on Dec. 9.

valleys, he says:
"Have seen it all and the pictures
don't show half its beauty. This
Rhineland is sure one fine place, tho
it is supposed to be the wrong time

can imagine what we have seen since
we travelled all the way from st.
Nazaire along the valley of the Loire
river to Goudrecourt and from Switz-
erland as far north as Montdidier,
and then thru Luxembourg to ten
kilos beyond Coblenz, following the
Moselle River from Reinich, Luxem-
bourg to Coblenz and the Rhine from
there.
"A year ago tonight (my birthday
we were in Villiers-le-Se near
Leginy, France. We stayed there
from about Thanksgiving to the mid
die of January, when we moved to
Meuil-le- Tour, which you know as the
Toul sector. That is where we had
our first taste of night bombing from
the Hun, and where learned to hate
moonlight nights.
"I'll never forget the first time we
were bombed. Perhaps you know
that German aeroplane motors have a
peculiar drone to them that once you
have heard you never forget. We
had never heard an enemy avion be-
fore, and didn't know the difference
until he let loose what we call an
iron egg. Luckily he missed us, but
the bomb made hole in the ground
about twenty-five feet across, and
eight feet deep, so you may know
what would have happened had he hit
the hospital.
"The same night he was shot down

near Toul. A little later in the year,
on the Picardy front near Bretuil, we
had our only casualty from bombs,
five men being killed outright. The
Hun sure made hit that night. But
as luck would have it, ! was lucky
enough to get in hole in the ground
Just after the first bomb hit. He
dropped four that night quite close
together. We were shelled by long
range guns in the same place, but ne
fell little short here, too. We moved
from here soon afterward or there
is no telling what would have hap
pened."
Besides the pictures, Andrew also
enclosed an eye-piece to gas mask
which is peculiar in that it is OF q
kind of glass the inverse side of which
will not dim by moisture. 1t is Of
German make, the only country that
has solved the riddle of its manufac'
ture.

The drivers were amazed night after
night with their freedom from fatigue
because of the easy riding of the cars
due to the wonderful three point
spring suspension. The cars were
found in perfect mechanical condition
after each examination by the engin-
GERS. The three point springs had
saved the cars, had given a new ease
and comfort to the drivers; the bal
lanced light construction had conquer
ed the worst of the roads; the power
of the car itself had pulled it out of
road situations in which horses were
found hoplessly mired and dozens of
automobiles were passed, sunk deep
and immoyable. While these tests
were going on, other tests were be-
ing made in the country within
radius of 300 miles of the factory.
The new three point suspension
springs had done everything the en-
gineers had hoped for in saving the
car and introducing an almost uncan-
ny ease of driving; the all-steel con-
struction of the car gave it rugged
ness unusual in any light ear. 1t was
in these tests that the WHY'S Overland
company developed the phrase which
describes Overland 4, because of its
three point springs, as the most i'm
portant improvement in motor car
construction since pneumatic tires
This new Overland A, is on exhibit
ton and for sale by the Emmett deal
ers, the Gem County Garage, and they
will be pleased to demonstrate it.

Shepherd of the Hills.

Pastoral simplicity of the kind that
approaches grandeur is the inspiring
theme in the perturbation of "The
Shepherd of the Hills" The rugged
honesty and worth of the men that
lead simple lives in the sequester,d
Ozarks are graphically depicted These
men, tall and outstanding, are the same
type as the sturdy pine trees that
reach up towards the stars from the
eternal hills. The same type of men
who landed upon Plymouth Rock and
laid the foundation for this land of
ours. In this great photoplay are
shown these truly American people,
living today as their forefathers did.
Men of giant strength and the kindli-
ness of children. The people in this
play really live their lives. There is
no sham, no affectation. They love,
hate. and have their being all uncon-
seious of the fact that they are por-
traying the great drama of life. The
scenic background for this great
drama is supplied from a region in ma
lures beauties and part Of the
country which has been seldom photo
graphed. The play consists of ten
reels with especial musical intrepeta-
ions.

LEGEND TELLS OF ROBIN.
Say Birds Breast Got Red Nursing
Only Fire.

When white men first came far
across the sea to this country they
found many birds such as they had
never seen before. But they found
one which they liked best of all. 1t
lad a pretty red breast and they call
ed it robin, for it's red breast made
them think of bird back in the old
home which they loved most of ell,
The Indians had a story about how
the robin got it's red breast. They
said it happened long time ago.
when there was only one fire in all
the cold far north.
A hunter and his son kept the fire
burning day and night until the father
fell i'll and the son, had to watch the
fire all alone. The great white bear
was waiting for chance to put the
fire out, so he could have all the north
to himself. He saw the boy fall
asleep then he jumped on the fire with
his wet feet and put 1t out.
But gray robin saw him, and when
he was gone she pecked about in the
ashes till she found tiny live coal.
She famed it with her wings until it
blazed out and turned her breast red.
Then she flew away to every hut in
the cold north. Wherever she touched
the ground fire sprang up, and soon
there were plenty of fires to keep the
people warm. After that tho, robins
breast was always red instead of gray.

PASS IN NORTHWEST BECOMES
LONGEST BORE ON THIS
CONTINENT.
Gigantic Hole Through Rock 10 to

Gigantic Hole Through Rock ls to
Cost Ten Millions.
1t will not be long before the ia.
nous Hoosac tunnel. 4 3-4 miles long,
will have to surrender its premier
place, held for many decades, as the
longest bore on the American CONT
nent.
The Rogers pass, five-mile tunnel
under the Selkirk range. on the Cana
dian Pacific railway, will be complet-
ed by the end of 1916. This gigantic
hole through rock will cost $4,000, 900
and only shortens the route by four
miles. However, it will materially re-
duce the grade, which is a difficult
one at that lofty point on the back
bone of the continent, and obviate
many delays hitherto due to snowfalls
and avalanches.
The Canadian Pacific railway engi-
neers spent two years seeking a loca-
tion for q tunnel through the Selkirks,
finally deciding upon Rogers pass.
which crosses the range in the midst
Of vast amphitheater formed by rug
ged. snow.capped mountains. OF the
many peaks which form = seemingly
impossible barrier between the prairie
country to the east and the Pacific
coast. Mount Sir Donald forms the
eliminating pinnacle, its altitude be-
ing 10,S03 feet. Mount Macdonald,
which is s,540 feet in height, also
looms out prominently with the rug
ged and precipitous slopes.
The Beaver valley lies east of the
Selkirk range and the Illesilliwaet val
ley to the west. On the trip westward
through the pass trains start the as
cent of the Selkirks at Beavermouth,
twenty-eight miles west of Golden, at
an altitude of 2,435 feet, and the most
northerly station on the route.
The tunnel, which is twenty-nine
feet wide and twenty.three feet high,
follows a straight line under Mount
Macdonald, emerging in the Beaver
valley at point about 1000 feet be-
low the present line. The eastern
entrance is directly below Hermit, a
station just east of Rogers pass. The
highest point reached in the tunnel
is 3,795 feet above sea level and
4,065 feet below the summit of Mac
Donald peak. The passage through
the mountains will have grade of
per cent up to the interior summit.
The pioneer bore" is a new method
of tunnel boring. being employed on
the Rogers pass project. A small pre-
liminary shaft seven by nine feet,
paralleling the course Of the main
tunnel fifty feet distant, furnishes
means of cross sections affords a
means of disposing of the excavations
during the progress of the work.
