, Dear Mother: The dish towels
duly received and are surely appreci
ated by the fellows, tho only trouble
is that every fellow is supposed to
keep care of his own mess kit and
dispatch of detachments of guards ... noorecinted there are
along the O.-W. right-of-way, this di- w"ae the 72 are appointed, there are
i. t- i. i Ai. a few of the 'boys who are out of luck
vision. First Lieutenant. Chenoweth
posted the men.. As in all cases of
guard troops, the orders are, "shoot "won Lots 13 and 14, block .138,

ing to you to see if you can't raine
about a dozen or more as soon as pos
sible. Parcel post is the surest ami
best way to send anything smaller
than a piano to us at all times.
If the girls could have seen the line
up tonight to get the towels they
would sure understand how much they
are appreciated by every one except,
the fellows who did not get one, who
will either have to 'borrow or con
tinue to use the sunshine.

PICKED UP BY STROLLER
Corporal Bailey was "on pass" to his
homo in southern Oregon when the
order for L company's .movement was
given. ' 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.
