Weighing Things Tlie value of mir groceries depends on three things : How much you get for your motey; how uood it is when you get it, and the price you pay for what you get.

Hugg: The Second Oregon Heglment has been prob ably as fortunate as any In the campaign.

In the attack on Manila we were given one of the most responsible po rtions of tne whole Pacific and 8th army corps. Had the Spanish displayed any valor, what ever, and refused to surrender peaceably, our perilous position on the water trout before tbe strongest forts an I batteries ol the enemy, would suiely have resulted In terrible losses, If not complete annihilation.

A. Huntley arrived from Sari Francisco on the overland Wednesday, having reached there last Saturday from Manila. Mrs. Huntley went to San Francisco to meet her hus band, and returned with him. Lieu tenant Huntley says that he made an effort to see every member of Company 1 personally, before taking his depart ure. They were all well, those that had been ill, having recovered and left the hospital. He further said there was but little danger of sickness now, as the healthful season of the year was just beginning, and, besides the men were learning how to take care of themselves properly. It Is a notable fact, how ever, that none of the cases of sickness among the Oregon City boys have proved fatal. ' Much of the sickness at first was caused by not knowing how to properly handle the food, etc.. as many of the array cooks were inexperienced. Con ditions, however, have improved, the cooking is better and the hospitals are provided with all needed supplies. Sta ple rations in plentiful quantity are is sued to the soldiers, and they are per mitted to sell the surplus for cash, or exchange the same for luxuries. In soldierly qualities, the members of Company I excel any other body of sol diers in the Second Regiment, and are always ready for every duty, and per form everything required of them cheer fully. The boys are all anxious t") return home, says Lieutenant Huntley, now that they are not needed for active ser vice. ' Clyde Huntley is now the happy pos sessor of one of the famous Mauser rifles brought over by his brother. Lieutenant Huntley has been kept busy since his arrival home answering numerous inquiries about the boys and matters at Manila. , 1'. M. C. A. Notes. ' The management of the Y. M. 0.
