Pilot Rock Junction, Feb. 15. (To the Editor) I will take thts means of informing our friends and neighbors of our life in a box car. And first of Zall I'll begin by telling you that its not "half bad," and that we still feel like very clean, respectable American citizens and never again when travel ing through such a burg on a limited will I look out and pity the "poor" . people who have to live in a box car, for we have found ours very com fortable but with only one exception the space is very limited. Up to date we have hve windows and two doors in ours and we expect to have a draft any way the window blows. I have one end curtained off for sleep ing apartments and the other for a kitchen. Ours as well ais half a dozen others is stationary. The female -population number about nine. I have met Mrs. O'Mears, the bridge foreman's wife, and Mrs. Reabell, of the electric car, and we often pass an enjoyable 'hour with each other and sometimes take a walk up the track to view the scenery. Men from about three stores ' in Pendleton come out eadh morning and take our orders for groceries and meat and the same is sent out on the local the next morning. La Grande people have no room to kick about nigh prices, for there are places in Oregon where it costs more to live. iWe certainly do get good milk but it costs $3.00 a month for a quart each day. We have a rural school within si short distance but so far no one iwith children of school age has arrived an.l the farmers are disappointed. Mr. Jackson, the foreman, is back to work again but still has a claim of one side of his face being partially paralyzed. We received a call from Peter Biever and Wm. McDonald this week and hope to see others. The snow is disappearing gradually and will not be mourned by anyone. Everyone seemed to exercise the greatest patience possible with it and I met only one real grouon. Telephones were installed last week in the depot, yard-master's office, the office at the roundhouse and Mrs. Crawford's boardinghouse and these are connected with the depot in Pen dleton. We all seem to belong to one grand brotherhooii down here (which is the only way) and everyone gives the other felkiv a hand-out, so to speak, if necessa.y. The men seem to real ize that-we women left comfortably homes to come here and battle with all these inconveniences and every one of them are trying to make thfngs pleasant for us. Keeps - me busy baking cakes for the bachelors and widowers to' pay off my indebtedness for some favor shown us. In closing we extend a cordial wel come to any La Grande people who happen to come this way and if this letter passes the editor's table and appears in print, I may attempt to write up the "Society Doings' " again. MRS. R. A. RUDD. throe parts of copper to two of zinc, but the fine brass from which car ktridges are made consists of threa parts of copper to one of nine. Experts state that 13 tons of cop per are required for a million rounds of small-arm ammunition. - One has only to bear these facts in mind, and to remember also that it has been computed that on an average about 30,000,000 of cartridges are being fired away daily in the various threat- tors of the war, to realize how abso lutely vital it is to Germany taat her imports of copper should not be ma terially interfered with. WHAT A COPPER WAR IS Cut Off the Supply of Red Metal Struggle Would End and (Peaisn's Weekly, Ixindon) This has been called a gold war; and co it is, in a tense. But it is even .more emphatically a copper war. yWar can be waged on a credit for a while, or on a silver basis as did Japan. Eut cut off the supply of copper,- f.nd sooner or later nowa days a -war comes automatically to an end. This is because the red niettJ enters into tho composition, in a greater or less derrrce of nearly all the projec tiles for big guns. Round the base of which one of these is a band of cop per which when the gun is fired, ex pands and grips the interior rifling of tho weapon, causing tho projectile lo rotato. It also eerves another end a very important purpose. By its expansion nt the explosive gases are hold in chock ns it iwere. and forced to ex pand all but a tiny fraction of their energy in driving the prcjoctiie throrgh the bo-e of the piece. If, however, Germany merely want ed enough copper to enable her to make these bands for her big-gun pro jectiles, she could probably supply the demand within her own borders she produces about 23,000 tois per an num or, at all events, sho would h .ble to smugcrle in enough from pro 'essedly neutral neighbors. But there are other demands for the metal which fro far more insistent, r.nd notably that is to say, rifle enrtridrres. These are made of solid drawn brass no others are liable jam hi the bar rel.

Abraham Kauf man, 21, was lassoed by a swinging cable let down by iron workers build ing the elevated structure on the Pla za of the Queensboro bridge in Long Island City. Before he could give an alarm or disentangle himself the un happy man was swung clear of the ground and bolted. The shruts and cries of excited man below attracted the atter.tior of the engineer operating the hoisting ma chinery and he slackened the cable. Instantly the tangle around Kauf man's neck was released and he fell to the sidewalk. He was fcken to St. John's Hospital in Long Island City, where it is said his skull is fractured and he is suffering other injuries. J. 4 Trenton, N. J.
