ALL PRINEVILLE MEN
ARE GOOD SOLDIERS
SEVERAL AT FT. COLUMBIA,
SOME AT OTHER POSTS
HAVE SEEN KO PAY DAY YET
Are Drilling Hard and AU Want To
Go To France Have Been
Promoted
AU the men from Prlnevllle who
have Joined the coast and field ar
tillery divisions are making good,
and are in the best of health and
experience, according to the state
ments of C. C. Hyde and Carey
Stearns who - are in Prlnevllle on
furlonghs.
A number of the men who were
at Ft. Stevens have been transferred
to Ft. Columbia, and are greatly
pleased with their new posts, where
they have first class sleeping quar
ters, and an amusement hall where
they may bowl, play pool, read and
take shower baths at their pleasure.
The drills are quite severe and
the boys are all hard as nails, in the
best of physical and mental condi
tion as a result of the exercise and
care they receive. They receive up
to I hours a day In drilling and va
rious army tactics, and Keep regular
hours. .'
The Prlnevllle men have had but
$2.50 each since they enlisted dur
ing the last week in April, and
there is "ae assurance ar- to when
the pay will come, for there are 38
of the men including the PrineviHev.
bunch, who have been delayed in
this regard because of a mistake on
the records. It will be fixed soon
however, and they hope to get on
the regular pay roll at an early
date.
C. C. Hyde is company mechanic
at Ft. Columbia, Charlton is head
quarters clerk, Broslus Is waiting
for an opening in the electrical
work that is coming soon, Battler'
is sergeant and also In charge of
the company store, Morris Is cor
poral, as is Stearns, Bixby is doing
clerical work in the quartermaster'
department and Duncan is post bar
ber, Ewing has been transferred to
the field artillery and is now in
Texas, while the remaining Prlne
vllle men are at other posts. .
There is no dissatisfaction among
the men from Prineville, and every
man of them tried on a recent oc
casion to get transfers that would
take them to France at an early
date. ,.
On a recent occasion, a call to
arms came at 3 a.tm. and in just
three minutes the guns were man
ned and all was ready for action,
but all were disappointed when told
that there was nothing more to be
done in the way of a battle at that
time.
Hyde and Stearns will return to
Ft. Columbia Friday.
FAST BALLGAME IS
F
What promises to be the best ball
game yet played on the local dia
mond this year will be called Sun
day afternoon at 12:30 when the
local slab artists will meet the next
best team in the league, the Shevlin
Hixon team of Bend.
This team has been defeating the
regular Bend team, and th3 Jeffer
son County team for some time, and
the honors are about even with the
Prineville team, but with gool sup
port by a loyal aggregation ot
Prineville fans will go down to de
feat here.
The honors are about even for
first place in the league standing
and this game may be the deciding
factor in the race for the pennant.
Last Sunday Prineville defeated
Bend at Bend 6-4 and Shevlln-Hix-on
defeated Jefferson County at
Madras 11-3.
Do not forget that the game will
be called at 12:30
