aud rurees of the oil k aoldiers; such
cries a "Oh ! how I w irh I was link at j
Frisco," or "1 wish tb: d A I I tuo
would sink." were some of tha tuildr-et.
I saw men l)irg upon deck text day,
who were so sick lliey would slide from
the cabin to the railing and back just as
tbe ship rolled from side to i te.
On tbe second rnorninx I went or.
guard without breakfast. Tho shipi
rolled to bad everything wai spi led. I
got some sugar and saw some coffee
sitting on one of tbe dining room tables.
Just as 1 got to it, tho ship gave a lurch,
and I picked myself up with my feet
under the table on tbe other side ol tbe
dining room, with tbe coffee -hockot on
top of me and tbe bot colleo all over me.
I didn't get tpiito straight ontil I struck
on my head under tbe other tabl.
t n the second day out tbe other ships
left us and we saw them no mere until
we arrived at Honolulu.
By tbe third day most of tbe men
were about aeain and beiiun to L'et va
customed to their surrounding
Beautiful albatrosses began to follow
tbe fcbip, or lit on tbe sea and gracefully
rode the high swells of the Mii! rough
sea. Va the louiin or uitti day the tea
beenmu calmer and it was amusing tj
watch (he lling !inh dart here aud there
through the air and light with a splash
Ou tho morning of tbe (i'.h of July wc
sighted Leper Island and a little later
the one that ilonoiulu stands on, ut.
which latter place we arrived about noon
I forgot to mention we "celebrated"' tbe
glorious 4th of July. We tired a tialiite
at sunrise, and bad a plom dutT for
dinner that weighed one pound to the
square inch, "solid shot," as it were.
As we ueated Honolulu we were excited
by aoeing porpoises four or five ftet lot.g
jump out ol the water, fall luck w ith a
splash and dart away.
Here 1 was called away and it ii not
until tbe day of tbe 7th of .September
that 1 am aide to resume my work of
nritiug a little of our journey to Manila.
We reached Honolulu without any in
cident worthy of note. Of our reception
there you have heard already. It is
enough forme to say it was grand, and
I will pass on to matters you do not
know of. We left ou the u:h of Ju y
sailing towards the setting of Ibe sun,
Now a word to say of our treatment.
Our rations for most of ibe voyage con
sisted of a kind of unpalatable mixture
of crackers, army potatoes, corned heef,
and water, entirely without cult or
pepper. In spite of this heiug so un
palatable there was never enough to
supply the appetite of the men.
Besides thia we either bad a bUcut or
sometimes two, or hardUck and always
coffee.
In spite of our po'i und inentlicient
food we enj.iyed good health.
Ou the evening of tho '.'drd of duly we
sighted u vok'auie island in sctivu opera
tion, nit I on the 2'Jth the long looked
for Philippine Inlands, but did not reach
Manila harbor uutil tbe 31st.
Our ships sailed maj"8tically iu and
took their positions under (he protection
of the American wuruhipe, near Cuvite,
and in full view of the hulks of the m.nk
en Spjoiflb warships a remind r of the
fit st of May.
We staid on the boat a few days, and
were finally landed near the nriuy in.
vestiiiii Manila, with which we tuu.le our
encampment, aud with w hom thor. lifter
our hit lory is common We starved
with them, laid in the mud and water of
the trencbea in fiont id the p.minii
lines in our turn, sud we done our full
amount of grow ling.
Ou tbe morning of the 13th of August
Dewey opened fire on the outer iutreucl..
ments ol the enemy with his waihipe.
After an hour's firing be ceased aud ihe
outer works were taken by our men
with a rush, the enemy iiiHkiug a siuht
rei-iatuiice. Iiy this lime ihe while ii.tg
was floating over the mini f.rl and ihe
war was over as far hj MauiU was con.
certii'd.
In Ihe evening we lo ik formal poca
siou (if the town. I do not know our
losses from Spanish bullets, very small
liiotigh.
Tbe city oi Manila Ins a drcaiiiy'Mii'eli
a long time here" air. The streets me
narrow, the sidewalks, ditto. I think
the whole thing may bo il-fueri tml as
very pict'iresipie.
The Americans and the natives Hci'iu
to get along very well, i'.iiiHi.i.riii! llu
way tbe Americans despise them.
The aams mar tie said ol th Amrri
can end Philippine armies. We don't
let them come inside of onr linen witb
arms and ihey don't let ns on tbe ootshle
of them, so it is just a boot even I guess.
1 he Lngllah residents are very anxious
far America to hold there Islands.
I eupposo a slight description of them
as they appear to ft casual observer,
would be of some interest. The people
ars small, many of them deformed, yet,
withal sinewy and strong. Tbey de
velop young, the women becoming
mothers nsnslly before tbeir twelfth
year, and tbev exhibit all tbe sights of
old age at thirty. Tbe bodies of all,
men, women and children, suckling
babes even, are covered witb sypilitic
sores. In face they resemble tbe tJbin
eae very much ; in fact, ton can hardly
distinguish them apart.
The people in the vicinity of Manila
are uncivilized and warlike, tiesines bav
ing the grasping nature of tbe Chinese
of the North American I'rtd ian in its
pristine savagery. All tbe natives near
Manila wbo profess any religion at ail,
are Catholics. If those in tbe interior
have any religion at all, I hate not
heard of it. Tbe people are tbe lowest
Jown in the scale of bnmaoity oi any I
ever saw. home lay this to tbe oppres
sions of tbe Spanish. While I do not
doubt tbe Spanish oppressed Ibem when
they could, Ibey bave never exercised
much authority over them long at a
time. Those natives living in tbe inter
ior have not had aov sort ol government
over them, except such as is exercised
l.y their native chiels, yst tbey continu
ally Cght among themselves for tbe mere
love of plunder and tnnrder, just as
those did near the coast notil tbe ad
vent of the Spaniards when tbey timed
their arms against tbe common enemy,
and have been fighting bins ever since
with a grea'er or lesser measure of suc
cess, in tbe present lostance with ihe
arms, ammunition and countenance
civen them by Admiral Dewey, com
bined to ilieir ureal numbers, tbey have
succeeded in shutting tbe Spanish op in
t'.eiMorte, though one regiment of tbe
Spanieli, can, witb equal protection,
whip two of tbe natives. The natives
j.iveeen sble to support ao army witb
but little attention being paid to the
emmissary department, on account of
the bountiful provisions of nature and
their mode of living. Uocoanuts, ba
nanas and various tropical fruits grow in
abundance, and tbey seem well supplied
with rice.
Tbe reported mineral wealth of tbls
c nintry I regard as being largely a
myth, as I have not seen tbe slightest
evidence of it, either in tbe formation or
smong the natives whom 1 have ques
tioned as closely as I could.
lint if tbe country is poor in minerals
it is rich in agricultural possibilities
that is, if you bad a regiment of soldiers
to guard yon and yours while yon
worked. Everything common to tropi
cal climates does well here.
As to their domestic animals, there is
a diminilive specimen of that noble ani
mal here that Is need in his place, . at
least as much as n animal haUaa Wg : a
our cavnses c-in tske it. Tbey have an
animal here resembling the ox that they
i sll "water buffalo." This tbey use for
heavy draught purposes, as well as for
b'?cf. I have seen a few cattle of our
own breed here fat, sleek and con
tented. There seems to be a good sop
ply of hogs in tbe country.
The native dogs are poor, sneaking
ecavHngers, ever looking for and receiv
ing blows and kicks.
They say there are enormous speci
mens of tbe snake family from twelve to
t went y-flve feet in length here. 1 am
thankful to ray I have not made tbe ac
quaintance of any.
1 want to say something of what the
Idaho's have to contend witb herein the
matter of food and health and I tbiok
this will apply to theotber volunteer or
ganizations as well. We have tbs
roughest kind of food, not one bit of
fruit, and the same food we would get
and mybe digest in Alaska. Tbe only
redeeming feature is tbe fresh meat we
get once iu a while. As a consequence
of this and the pestelential climate a
great many of the boys are sick. One
can hardly sleep at night for the boys
coughing. Our hospital corps is in
competent, reckless and criminally
negligent.
I went today to get some cough med
icine fjr 1 or 5 men who had enough in
our company and who didn't go on sick
eport, they gave it to me without the
slightest directions as to taking it.
While I was there some men came in
bnlf carrying a man who had been very
sick for two days. Instead of giving
him a quiet bunk, and a nurse to tend
him they gave bim a dose of medicine
and sent him back to bis quarters.
And it is the same story every day. Ye
Gods! How sick does a man have lo get
r-efore be can have care and treatment?
There is ouo thousand patients up at
tha Brigade hospital and thsy are dying
ut the rate of 5 a day now yet two weeks
eg i it was only two a day. Yet, we are
in barracks and are clean.
The members of the hospital pay no
attention, scarcely to the men, "they are
only soldiers, you know,"
At this rate we will lose two whole
ri'vinients before spring yet no body i. e.
otlicets seems to care.
There are thousands of letteis going
home to loved oues today, the writers of
which are sick and maybe tbe next oues
to go to tbe hospital and then to yet
they say nothing ol ttieir ill health ou
the conditions here for fear of causing
their kinsfolk and friends uneasiness
and paio.

very short time, a conple ol weeks or to,
tbe Oregon Telephone Company's con
struction force will lie at work erecting
a line between either Marsbfield or
Myrtle Point and Itoseburg, the exsct
place of connection on this end has not
ret been determined, but general super
intendent and superintendent of con
struction for the Oregon Telephone Com
paoy, O. D. Bush, was in Kandon this
week, and gave the Recorder authority
to slate for a certainty that work will
soon be begun upon ibe line.
This line will connect at Koseburg
witb Ihe Hunset Telephone Company's
line, which is now completed from Spo
kane, Wash., to Kan liieco. Cel.. a (ba
lance of 1800 miles, taking ia Portland
and Han Francisco, so in the near future

The preparation for the construct
of tbe line down into Cnrry are bring

during tbe months of July an I August
since 1SS3, and from observations so
taken, I am of the opinion there has
been lees tire in the Cascade Forest Re
serve, during the piesect vear than dur
ing any time since tie above date.
Having made twenty-one ascents since
2d ol July lsst, I find that onlv three
times baa tbe smoke been too dense lo
ot .struct a clear view of Mount .Shasta,
some hW miles distant, and twice out of
tbe three limes ibe obstruction was
caured by smoke from fires not ou tbe
(crest reserve. I therefore conclude,
tbst the patroling of the reserve has
been of great benefit and bas been the
means of suppressing (ires and prevent
ing the destruction ot valuable timber.
I am, however, of the opiuion tbat the
patrol should be earlier on the around.
as one fireocenred on July 2d, beloretbe
rangers were sent in.

When a crime is committed, no matter in
What corner of the earth the criminal trirs
to bide, he
knows tbat
probably
somewhere
or other on
the look - out
is a detective
waiting to
lay his hand
on him.
When any
disease at
tacks man
kind and'
hides itself
in the human
system, no
matter how
obscure or
complicated
the disease
may be, Na
ture among
her great
force of de
tective reme
dies has one that wilt eventually hunt down
and arrest that particular disease.
Iungr and brouchial diseases are among
the most baffling complaints which doctors
have to deal with; because it iau't the lungs
or bronchial tubes alone which are affected,
but every corner of the ayatem furnishes a
lurking place for these elusive maladies.
They change and reappear and dodge
about the system under numberless dis
guises. They are almost always compli
cated with liver or stomach troublea, nerv
ousness, neuralgia, or "general debility.1
Tbe best detective remedy which Nature
has provided to search out and arrest these
perplexing ailments ia Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. It lays an arresting
band directly upon the poisonous, paralys
ing elements hiding in the liver and diges
tive organs.
It gives the blood-making glands power
to manufacture an abundant supply of pure,
red, highly vitalized blood which reinforces
the lungs witb healthy tissue ; feeds the
nerve-centres with power, and builds up
solid muscular flesh and active energy.

of breath, nasul catarrh, bronchitis, severe
