Inter on.
Wo are taking measure for hati.
suits, underwear and shoes today so
we don't have H go out and drill. Oth
erwise they drill us every day except
i Sundays, when we only have to in
! swer roil call. We were mustered :n
last Saturday. Had to go through an
examination at which there were nbo.it
n dozen doctors present to examine
you. They also filled out a lot of pa
I pers about you and after that we g i:
i vaccinated. This makes a lot of the
; felowa sick, hut it nover feazed me.
I pnssed a clear examination except
I for a couple of toeth, and in a few
I days we will have a dentist to fix all
J of them. They have several hospitals
here nnd also six or eight Y. M. C.
A's. They are building a Y. M. C. A
right ncross the street from our bar
racks and it will he ready sometime
this week. On the other side there is
a post exchanire, where you can buy
anything you need.
In our bartacks there are none hut
choice men; all of them big huskies.
Talk about your crowds, you ought to
see it hero about 8 o'clock of :jn even
ing. There is sure snA. trafe, espe
cially around the Y. M. C. A's. an J
the stores.
This life isn't so bad with good offi
cers and lots of good grab. Their
rules aro sure strict though, and
what's moro you have to live up to
them. At present we are hiking thj
foot drills nnd exercises.
The boys from Union and Wallowa
Counties arc all in this barrack. I had
a letter from Mary the other day nnd
will try and answer it soon. It Wits
about the first letter that arrived
hem at the barracks.
Tomorrow I go on K. P. (kitchen
police) and don't have to drill. They i
have seven men each day to wait on
tables and clean the dining room.
I hope mother is getting along all
Irii'ht. I'll trv and write again soon.
With love to mother. AL. i

TRACTORS
SAMSON SIEVE-GRU'S IN A CLASS BY THEMSELVES.
Original ideas developed through experience and necessity nre
embodied in Samson Sieve-Grip Tractors. You will find features
there not thought of by others.
Recently we have secured letters patent on the method of con
necting the air breather of n gas engine crunk case to our patent
ed NODUST-MOISTO-RIZER. This will bo another exclusive
feature in Samson Sieve-Gripe Tractors or otherwise an in
fringement if used by others.
The close connection of our management, being direct in touch
with the actual operation, wants nnd requirement. proving to be
necesrnry in the small size farm tractor, we attribute largely to
the success of the Samson Sieve-Grip.
It is our aim to manufacture a one hundred per cent efficiency
trnctor, sold nt n right price, and give service that secuies satis
fied customers.
