Historical Socle! ST. REVIEW VOLUME 14 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER G, 1918. NUMBER 43 3 C3H-l3 Oregon Far the Best "Bill" Strandborg haa return ed from a six weeks' rassle with tho groat American heat wave. Everyone of 10 or a dozen towns- Bill says, trotted out its happiest little hot spell in history and told him they would do better the next time. "My trip, which was under taken from the purest of mo tivos," sighed Billy yesterday. "looked like a tight-rope canter along isothermal line 110 degrees Lnronhoit nlufl. I think if Uncle Sam wants to plat a graphic chart of tho gol-dumnedest warm belt in history, all ho needs to do is to follow my somewhat rambling trail athwart our fair land, all the way from Imperial valley, Cal., to Rockaway beach and back as far as Kansas Uity, at which point reason began tot tering in her insubstantial throne and 1 didn't care 10 cents worth of ico water what happened af ter that. "As for doleful details. Leav ing San Francisco, 1 headed for Texas, via Imperial Valley, Yuma, El Paso and way points. "At Niland in the Imporlal Valloy, tho world's renowned shipping point for cauteloupe, wo got laid out a couple of hours whilo tho natives wcro cleaning up tho melon crop and sending East. It felt something like n cross between n young oven and a mouthful of mustard, so I squinted at the village thcr momotor hanging on tho depot wall. "Only 121 degrees." "Ever got real warm hero?" I askod tho station agent. "Just n mito, Brother. Other night at 2 in tho morning wo woro chas ing fivo trains of canteloupo East ahead of tho regular trnins and I felt n bit wilty and I held my lantern up to tho thermome ter and it was 131 then. But that ain't tho limit. Twicot I've seen it teetering around 135 and I recollect it being 137 sovoral years ago.' "Next placo where tho climate got fresh was Fort Worth, Toxns. Tho woathcr man admitted 110, and I saw somo of tho most respectable thermometers in tho stato bubbling up around 110. It was 110 in my hotol room at midnight, and I tried to get u cold batli by borrowing a bucket of cracked ico and pouring it in tho bathtubs and most of tho ice was melted beforo I got in the tub. "At Chicago I got it 100: at Grand Rapids tho samo; at De troit it was 08, at Clevolnnd 09. "But I'll bo shun -doodled if thoy didn'tsavotho real curtain raiser for mo in Now York. One hundred and two (officially), tho hottest spoil thoy over had just two weeks ago. Fifteen deaths and over 100 prostrations that day. Fat chanco to onjoy life. I was mussing up three stiff collars a day and 1 took to soft ones and they would wind around my neck like a wet towel. That night I saw fully 8000 womon and children slooping on tho lawn in Bryant park. I walked over thero shortly after midnight, and I never had any thing get to me so hard aB when 1 heard babies and little children moaning and crying for a drink of water. Tho two or three drinking fountains woro mobbed all night, ana policemen were called out ,o keep a semblance of order. A party of Elks from the Elk's club, a block away, borrowed thro a or four big milk cans, filled them with ico water and carried them over to the park and it was all they could do to keep from being mobbed when the poor suffering tenement dwellers heard that they had real ice water. I guess the boys carried water out there for u couplo of hours. "In Central park, all the way from Eighty-f if th street to 110th, the grass was dotted with sweN tering humanity. In the ghostly night shadows it reminded one of a battle field strewn with dead and wounded the most shivery thing I ever saw. "A quarter ot a million New Yorkers heat it for Coney Island Wednesday afternoon and even ing, and the water was full of bathers all night long. "I lost nine pounds on the trip and if anybody ever tells me to co East again between June 1 and October 31, I'm going to hit 'em in the ear. Coming back home, such little incidents as Philadephia 104. Cleveland 100, Chicago 101 and Kansas City 104. didn't disturb me. I just asked the porter on the train to bring me another woolen blanket. "Any man, 'brought up in Orecon climate, who goes East for business or pleasure in the summer time should bo put in a nice, upholestered little cell and and kept under observation till the alienists determine whether he is harmless or not." Telegram. From Across the Sea Following aro extracts from a letter of Private Theodore Nel son, who enlisted in December in the 20th Engineers. Previous ly he had been employed in the Peninsula Iron Works. His parents aro Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Nelson, 810 N. Edison Street: "Yesterday thero was a fire in a little railroad town a few kilos away. You talk about Franco fighting fire! real circus to watch It was a them use hand pumps and Stone Ago fighting apparatus. It wns a joko all thu way through. They sent for our company to help and when wc had the firo almost out they told us to not put more water on as they wanted to see if it would burn again. Wo re turned to camp, but fifteen minutes they in about called us! again. A drummer stands near tho hand pressure pumps and beats tho drum. If you saw it you would have laughed unt 1 you cried. Tho frogs act as if it were a big celebration to see a fire, but the ones that logo their homes look at it in a mournful way. Yesterday wo were allowed to wear our eorvfco Btripcs for the n rst time. It is a gold colored chcrronand it means six months of active scrvico in tho advance zone. Somo of tho infantry men over hurc have been enrrying n banner that reads "Heaven I Hell! or Ilobokcn by Christmas." 1 think thoy nro expecting too much. Wo might as well do u good job of it whilo wo are here. Wo havo seen nut to n few star shells lately. Kaiser Bill surely realizes thero aro a few YankB over hero now. It Seems So Strange It seems so strange how wc would talk, in oldun timug. of cheap afalrs! How wo would argue round tho clock concerning oil well 8tock8 and shares! And often, when the evening came, wo sat beforo tho Racket store and talked about tho baso ball game until our lungs and heads wero soro. if Johnsing bought motor cart, that was our themo from sun to sun, wo'a talk that blamed thing nil onnrt. and ahow just why it wouldn't run. I ho weather was a daily text, and wo denounced tho groundhog's gamo; and then tho crops WO d take . up next, and they would Inst 'til bedtime came. And still wo met at close of day, and gossip nil tho even ing through: but no ono notes tho prico of hay, or brings the weather in review. Tho trifling matters of tho town no more engage our anxious thought: we speak, until tho moon goes down, of far-off-fields where men havo fought. Oh. what if Jinks has swiped a cow, or beat a neighbor natrndo.' buch th ngs won't draw attention now when soldiers swing tho shining blade. Oh, what if Jimson has announced that he will run for county clerk? until tho measly foe is trounced, wo care not for such piffling work. It seems so strange that onco wo cared for idle tales of Tom and Dick! But now tho nation's sword is bared, and other topics make us sick, Walt Mason. Stenographers.Wanted Word has been received from Provost Marshal General Crow- der asking that preparations be made to fill a coming call for a large number of good steno graphers who have had legal ex perience. Only white men in limited or special service class ifications will bo accepted for these positions. The stenograp hers taken will probably be assigned to the judge advocate general's department and the provost marshal general's de partment and will be required to report court marshal cases and attend to other matters per. taming to military law in the field. The work, t is announced. will be interesting and will give invaluable experience to the fortunate applicants. Regis trants eligible for this work are urged to present themselves without delay to their local boards to have their names listed for the service. However, no inductions will be made until further orders. The Brunswick Phonograph plays all makes of records at their best, and without any change of atttachment whatever. That is the best part of it. Currin Says So. NoU the Ubal en your pif r. Registration Thursday President Wilson, by official proclamation, hns set Thursday. September 12, as Registration Day.

A goodly crowd of well wishers, who had kept long night vigil in anticipation of the event, cheered the ship as she entered, with American flags fluttering from her prow, to the moonlit river. It was the second time in the history of the yard that a night launching has taken place and the brilliant illumination of a myriad.of electric lights about the yard, A'irti tho added touch of a clear, moonlit sky, gave to the occasion impressive significance and splendor. Mrs. J. P. Byrne, wife of inspector Byrne of the hmergency Weet Corporation, acted as sponsor for the ship. After the launching she was presented by the man agement with a handsome dia mond studded pin in honor of the event. Going Some.
