' i "Getting camp ready" has been the task of the soldiers the past two days. The work was completed last night and Captain Stafrin informed the city health officer that the camp was ready for his inspection. It seems good to the men of com pany L to get away from the monot ony of "closed camp", in effect at the mobilization camp, Clackamas, since May 28, when the soldiers arrived there for training. "Pass" from a "closed camp" must be obtained from the camp commander and is not the easiest thing to get. Captain Stafrin has made the .La Grande camp "open", permitting La Grande people to come into the camp to visit, and permit ting the men to leave camp when their work is finished. "Taps" has been set at 11 p. m. and those men who breakNtJie requirement of being in bed when "check" is made a few minutes after eleven will be handled in a mili tary way. Army regulations provide severe penalties for breaking nf camp regulations, including fine and imprisonment. Real Estate Transfers. ' $8000 George M.
