(Dear Mother and All.)
Here It Is Sunday again! The time
sure goes a flying! The first thing
you know I'll be dropping In for Xmas
dinner! It will soon be a year now
(June 16) since I enlisted and one full
of experiences too.
Yesterday afternoon I went over to
see the Kelly Field aviation meet-
supposedly the biggest ever held In
the United States, and It sure was
fine! They flew in about every shape
Imaginable looped the loop, rolled
over- flew upBlde down and Rodman
Law jumped from an aeroplane 2200
feet high with a parachute.
Kelly's Field is five miles the other
side of San Antonio from us and com
ing back I rode on the train, first time
since we came here last September.
Several of our Frisco bunch was trans
ferred last week and will be on their
way over soon. I started to transfer
myself, but after talking it over with
the top sergeant decided to wait a
"spell". You see those who left have
to join a field honpltal company and
the sergeant says a little later as soon
as some more come to take our place
here that we will get to go as a baBe
unit.
Will must surely have gone across
as he doesn't write any more and he
said in his last letter they were all
ready. I had a bet with him too that
I would get across first. Yesterday I
did some "charity" work at the offi
cer' kitchen and got a do.en lemons,
then the sergeant begged some sugar
at the nurses kitchen and we had
lemonade.
I Well, guess I'll ring oft for .this
time,
Love to all,

PORTLAND, June 12. High tern-
pcrature followed quickly on the sud
den and damaging electrical storm
which swept into Portland early this
afternoon, halting streotcar traffic,
clUBhlng with high voltage electric
wires, hitting telophone poles and
sending down four-hundredths ot an
Inch of rain in a few minutes. The
thunder claps were the sharpest
heard In Portland in a long time.
The temperature jumped from 82
degrees at 2 o'clock to 91 degrees at
6 o'clock. The humidity Immediately
after the storm was oppressing and
a blankot ot clouds hovered low
enough over the city to increase the
unusual effect.
The storm was one of those rare
electrical disturbances which flit
through Portland only every year or
so and as usual no lasting damage
was done. Brief tie-ups resulted on a
number of the street car lines, be
cause the lightning struck the trolley
wires or poles and passed into the
motors and controllers. In many In
stances the motors were burned out
and the cars were stalled. One high
voltage wire was sent to the Btreet
at East Ash and Grand Avenue.
A street car at Third and BurnBlde
streets was struck with the first flash
of lightning and the flames shot out
fur Into the street. The passengers
were unhurt however. Both motors
and the controllers were burned out
and traffic was hold ap for consider
able time.
