A num ber of the Roseburg boys last even ing chartered a fishing smack at the Hammond harbor, close to Fort Stevens and took an excursion trip to Astoria. Leaving the dock about 7 o'clock in the evening they arrived at Astoria about 45 minutes later and made a tour of the thriving lit tle city. Those who were aboard the boat were the following: Teddy Jewett, Delwin Jewett, Cliff Lilly. H. Rankin. Ray Lahey, Avery Uosei , Edgar Perrine, Fred Miller, Shannon Bond, Cecil lilack, Clarence Tester, John Ashworth George Wlllett, and Bert Bates. Tne trip to Astoria was beautiful, the moon was just rising, and if tho river had been much rougher It Is very probable, that oth er things would have soon been ris ing. After several hours stay in As toria, the boys made their way to the dock where the small boat was kept. In the crowd, however, the faces of John McClintock, Clarence Tester and the writer could not be seen for having a deathly fear that they would soon lose the delicious dinner which they had Just partaken of, thoy de cided to charter an auto and the re turn trip to the fort was made that way. The other members of the party who took the boat home stat ed this morning that a thrilling ex perience was encountered on the way home when the gasoline engine of the boat suddenly stopped, just as gas engines will do once in awhlle. The boat was piloted by two In dians and they immediately set about to remedy the engine trouble. It was an hour, however before it could be placed in running order and the boat had drifted during that time some distance toward the Columbia bar. Several large waves struck ine boat and rocked it considerably. The boys arrived at the dock at ...immond at a late hour and did not get to camp until about 2:30 a. m., as a result they are a sleepy bunch today. Another crowd of the boys char tered a car in the evening and made a trip to Seaside, me-beautiful sum mer resort, 'in the crowd the follow ing Roseburgers were present: Leon McClintock and Harrie Booth and the other members of the sanitary troops to make the trip were Jack Cowley, George Letellier and Leslie Schwer Ing. From their reports of the short vacation it was very, enjoyable and the boys were glad to break away from the army routine for a time. They also returned to camp at a late hour and as a consequence are loung ing about their beds today in at tempts to get sleep. It is thought that the members of the sanitary troops to be transferred to Fort Canby soon will be tho fol lowing: John McClintock, Harrie Booth, George Willett, Leon McClin tock, Roy Ccdarstrom, Humphrey Rankin and Bert Bates. The boys are not looking forward to the trans fer with pessimism and rather ex pect to make an enjoyable vacation affair of it. Fort Canby will probably be the headquarters for Beveral com panies of coast artillery and it will be the duty of the boys transferred to that point to look after their welfare and sickness. At this morning's sick call of the fort, 68 men presented themselves for treatment and the boys were kept busy examining blistered feet and eore muscles. Clarence Tester this morning as sisted Major Cheshire, the post hos pital commander, in an operation and it is probable that every boy in the command will soon be given a chance to witness operations and as sist, thereby gaining much valuable information. From reports coming from all companies, the sanitary troops are messing better than any other or ganization that recently arrived here. Several of the coast artillery coni panics are not getting the best of food, but it Is thought that within the next few weeks things will be sys tematized so that everyone will be getting equal rations. The 4th company boys are having a great time and are enjoying the Bights of the fort immensely. Ray Buell, their barber, is a busy boy these days and is doing "some'' shaving. James Goodman, of the hospital corps, is cultivating a Charlie chap- lln mustache ana nas a wonaeriui start on It at this writing. Several other boyi of the camp are getting ALL TO GET COMMISSIONS.

Both foderal and state officials ordered a Bearch, which laBted many days and up to the present time the dyna- mile Is still missing. These are perilous times, as you know. A few cases of dy- namlte in the hands of wrong people could do untold damage. It is deemed advisable and the state council of defense re- 4 quests that all county courts, contractors, construction com- panles and anyone else using powdor or dynamite shall have a. depot for same-under day and night armed guard. A sufficient quantity for the day's use can easily be remov- ed to location of work under way, but under no clrcum stance should the depot bo left without a trustworthy guard in full charge.
