December IL, 1918.


My dear Mother:
Will now pen you all a few lines
to let you know am still living, and
getting along the same as I did over
at Camp Meade. only I like it much
better over here, for while at Camp
Meade we always had to do some
thing, but here we have some time
off, especially since the war has clos
ed, and you may know we will en-
joy the rest of our time over here.

about it at this writing. We were
seventeen days coming over. and we
landed in England, while most of the
ships sailed right to France. But the
submarines were so bad that we had
to turn our course and go to England,
SO we landed at Liverpool, very
large dock, too. We hiked out to
camp about four miles away, for the
night, and stayed until the next day:
then we all left on the train. We
went about two hundred miles to an

near the place we left for France. We
were in England about two weeks,
always moving along, and it was bad,
for they feed very common in Eng
land; We hardly got anything to eat.
But, Mother, the trip from England
to France was awful. We left one
seventng about six o'clock, and reach
ed our landing point about two
o'clock the next morning. We heard
that it was bad, that the seas were
terrible, but we thought they could
never be any worse than they were
coming over and the English soldi-
ers said there were so many boats
sunk going across this Channel, for
so many German Subs. were all out
in these seas. So we went over dur
ing the night, just like creeping over,
with no lights at all; could not make
the least noise, and we were already
to let down the life boats at any
time, and my, it was so rough, ev-

next morning. This camp was not

went on train for about three days

just like sheep and cattle, and when
night came on, you would see one of
the boys untying his pack, getting
his blankets out to lie on the floor,

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

The advancing season brings con-
firmation OF the outlook for a large
output of agricultural products and
there is no question but that prices
will be very remunerative to the pro-
ducers. This is not only true of wheat,
the price of which Is guaranteed, but
of most other products as well, SYM
pathetically, and under regulation Of
the law of supply and demand through
out the world.
In this section bumper winter
wheat crop is practically assured by
the rains the forepart OF the week,
which also benefited spring wheat.
Minerals are taking on new life as a
result of the recent big advances in
silver, which in a measure may Offset
the depression caused by declines in
lead and copper. Many silver-lead
producers in the Occur d'Alenes will
be benefited. In general mining is
getting readjusted and steadily be-
coming more active. The numbering
business, too, is gradually improving.
Produce.
Fresh Meats-Steers and cows are
off SO cents to 81 at top of 1880
Lambs are down and yearlings up.
Hogs unchanged. Minor fluctuations
in the dressed list Receipts at the
Union stockyards for the week ended
May Is were 524 cattle, &c calves,
1885 hogs and 1898 sheep.
Lard and Cured Meats-The depart
ment of agriculture has recently re-
ported on hand of frozen and cured
meats for period of three months.
Stocks of frozen beef on hand Feb.
1 were 226, S66,O33 pounds; on March
| /, 227,52S,307; April, 210,035, 467. Dry
salt pork on the same dates were AIS
443621 pounds, 420.574,476 and 400
S46,792 pounds. Picked pork stocks
were 339,444,479 pounds, APO. 1864
and 404,14S,25S pounds. Stocks of
lard on hand on the three dates were
12S, 10S,9S6 pounds, 119,70762S and
log, ,155 pounds.
Hides and Wool-There is a keener
interest in the wool market, both east
and west. Eastern manufacturers
whose stocks of wool were some time
ago reported to be ample for all i'm
mediate needs, are today anxiously
seeking additional stocks in all mar
kets. In all western sections some
what higher prices are being offered
for fleece than even few weeks ago
Most growers show a disposition tC
await the regular sales dates in Ore
gon and Idaho.
Strawberries-Fi shipments are
being received from the Kennewicl
district
Wheat-The showers Sunday ant
Monday virtually assured big yielt
of winter wheat in the entire lnlant
Empire section and will also prove O
great benefit to spring wheat. Local.,
and for the country at large a record
breaking crop at record price is IL
prospect. The spot market continues
very firm under active end of the
season demand. Local quotations are
$209, $2.07, $2.05 and $202, plus thu
fixed premiums or added charges.

Improvement in the farm labor sit
uation this year over 1918 is re-
ported by the bureau of crop esti-
mates, United States department of
agriculture, after investigation in all
agricultural counties OF the United
States. BY improvement is meant
net increase of supply and conse-
9uently more labor for planting, cul-
tivating, and harvesting in relation
to the work to be done. Stated In
percentage of a normal labor supply
as related to n normal demand for
labor. the actual supply of 1913 was
10 per cent, and Of 1919 Is Is SO per
cent-still inadequate without greater
than normal dependence on machin.
cry and animal. tractor, and motor
power. and without more than usual
labor by farmers and their families.
However the Improvement over 1918
is considerable.
