"Dear Mother Vc Daddy: Her I
am at last in the little Island of Guam,
about 1500 miles from the Philllplnes.
and 18-day ride from San Francisco;
a six-day ride from Honolulu. The is
i.. i. oKnnt thirtv miles lone, and
eichteen miles wide, with a fine cllra
ate; real warm. We sleep In tents,
same as we did at Mare Island. We
have nicer weather than we had
there. There are four of five towns
on the Island, but these are not very
large. Agana Is the largest and Is al
so the capital.
"I am In a village, the name of
which is Suamer, and 1 am in camp
41st
"I go on tuard from 8 to ll; some
times from 11 to 2. There Is a canteen
.u wham venrthtng Is found.
rt nging to a victrola.
No one has been sick since we
came We ara all feeling One. How are
yoa all, and the cat?
i want you to give Mr. Latourette
and my class my best regards.
'There -will be a boat here the first
of the month with sixty more marines
on. These will be used to fill up
new company. There are a lot of old
timers here, who are going back on
the next boat They sure are happy
to start back to see their folks and
home again. It makes me wish I was
going back too, but I will serve my
time out. and I come backshrdluluuu
time out, and when I come back I
can say I have seen part of the world
riTwav and have had a lot or ex
perlence worth a lot to me.
"I am having them keep $20 a month
out of my cay. so I will have some
thing when I come home.
"There are navy stations here also,
and I will send you some pictures of
the Island and some of the things on
it
"The natives are all good to the
marines. They give us all the fruit
we want very cheap, with bananas at
five cents for one and one-half doien.
They are of better flavor than hack
there, and are smaller too. We have
all the pineapples and cocoanuts we
want to eat A drink is made from
cocoanut milk and salt water. I do
not care for it myself, but there are
-nanv other drinks that are more
palatable to me.
'The natives here do our washing.
They" charge $3 for all we can carry
them.
"We received a lot of clothing the1
other day. including seven pairs of
pants, one belt, ten pair socks, eleven
arlts mderwear, two flannel shirts,
one pair Bhoes. We were also given
a small tent and twenty rounds of
ammunition, a locker and a lot more
things.
"I have a fine tent mate. He haB
been here five months. He is a young
man, a fine looking fellow.
'We do not have electric lights,
but use lamps. Gas is. used in the
houses.
"We sure have gotten sunburned.
! The first two or three days we went
without shirts, and everyone of the
boys were KIstered. Seems like the
ran has more effect here than in the
states. '
"It takes three months to get an
answer from here, so write me a big,
fat letter, and send some pictures and
maeazlnes. also a camera. You may
send a Brownie If you want to.
'1 think I will get into the band
My cornet Is 'safe and sound' here.
"Be sure and write soon.

Caufield In Thickest Fiflhtinp,
Waldo Caufield, who is with the in
telligerice service in France, and who
is in the thickest. of the fight at the
present time, writes a letter to his
mother. Mrs. David Caufield, dated
June 13. The letter reads as follows
"In Active Service, France, June 13,
1918.
"Dear Mother: Again I have to make
an excuse for not having written be
fore, but some time you may under
stand why. I have lately been read'
ing about so many of 'as saying we
have nothing to write about, when in
reality there is so much we may say
I, myself, know this true, but in the
branch of the service I am in there is
a little difference, not only this, but
nnr minds are taken unrwith work
which they claim is very Important
and in this way we are told a good
many things that some do not know
"Things have sure been happenin
'Over Here' for the last few weeks
and I have been In for my share of
the fun,' if you could call it that, and
of course I was in on the seeing, as
you may be sure. We observers al
ways are. I would not take a round
hundred dollars right now, and havi
to miss it.
"You have asked about the people
that it the French people. I have
lately been among the French' sol
diers, and I cannot say enough praise
for them, as they have been so nice
to me. Speak French? Well. I sure do
after a fashion. At least I can get by
with It In most cases.
"I received some new clothes the
other day, and believe me, I am all
ready to 'sport up' in a short time,
"I suppose by now Lee is some
where 'Over Here,' and I expect to
hear from him most any time, and
you may rest assured I will get
answer to him at once. (Lee is Lieu
tenant Lee J. Caufield, brother of the
writer, who has arrived 'Over There1
since Waldo left).

Winfred May Says France

In a letter Corp. Winfred May.
brother of Verdon May, of Fort SilL
Oklahoma, May writes an Interesting
letter to his aunt. Miss Orena May.
from Somewhere in France, where he
Is In a training camp. May says:
"France Is a glorious country to
spend a short period of time, and you
have beaucoup (plenty of money),
which you cannot do without Some
parts of France are entirely different
than others. The closer to the lines
you go, the more deplorable the con
ditions. Near Paris and this training
camp the villages and towns are neat-
r and better built The greater por
tion of France seems to De larminx
land, and is extensively cultivates
They have Queer systems a large
chateau or farm house surrounded by
immense fields. The owners or renters
with the farm help all live under the
same roof. They have antique meth
ods and when the French raise two
tons of veeetables the Americans
would raise five or six.
Money cannot get everything here.
Just contrary to the old saying:
Money is everything.
They certainly keep me on tne
humD.' Most of my work Is typing
with very little dlcatlon. Since the
rnlnnel'a reeular stenographer has
gone to the officers' school for a com
mission. I don't do. very much clerk
ing any more. When yon do most of
the work for an operation office
combined with the administrative of

uds of course only send one copy, and
I have to 'hammer' out 12 and H. e
have mimeograph rolls, drawing ma
terial, etc., to carry around with us
and our outfit weighs close to 800
pounds. Some load!
"Operation office deals with an
operations of the regiment, and as
you may imagine needs the issuing of
many orders. Everything must be filed
lust so (In case the commanding of
ficer should call for it in a hurry)
and a great many things you have to
memorize.

ROLL OF HONOR
AUTOMOBILES
MUST STOP AT
R. R. CROSSING
SALEM. Or.. July 23. (Special to
the Enterprise). Public Service
Commissioner Buchtel. who a few
days ago examined the crossing situ
ation on the road leading out of Ore
gon City at Seventeenth Street where
the Southern Pacific company has re
ported the crossing as dangerous
stated today that 'a stop crossing will
be ordered Installed there. It will be
necessary for all vehicles to stop at
this crossing before going over the
railroad tracks, and the railroad com
pany will be required to maintain
light at night there.
Mr. Buchtel went over a number of
crossings with County Judge Ander
son and now consideration Is being
given to requiring the diversion of all
traffic over the point which will be
well protected, from a few other
roads where there are now hazardous
crossings.
It is also considered possible that
the investigations may lead to still
further orders as to some of the cross
tngs In that vicinity, although Mr.
Buchtel would make no definite state
ments as to his recommendations
along those lines.

STUART EXPERT
ON CAN CLAMS
FOR HOME USE
Dr. and Mrs. G. E. Stuart will leave
today for Garibaldi, near Bar View,
where they will enjoy an outing of
several weeks. Dr. and Mrs. Stuart
are to be accompanied by the form
er's nephew, Ray Stow, and wife. They
are to enjoy camp life, and are plan
ning many fishing trips. One of the
trips that is being looked forward to
with pleasure Is clam digging.
Dr. Stuart has become quite an ex
pert in preserving these clams for
the winter's use. Last year while at
Garibaldi he and his wife placed
away for the winter 48 jars. The
doctor "hit upon" a scheme, and
gives the following formula for the
benefit of those desiring to "can"
these clams for next winter's eating.
After thoroughly cleaning the clams,
cut into bits, place In the fruit jars
adding a little salt, tighten the jars
securely. He has tried several ways
in preserving this variety of sea fish,
but has found by accident that plac
ing them into the bottle without the
use of the water is more desirable.
It is the doctor's plan to take a
large supply of fruit jars this season,
and he will have plenty of clams this
coming winter.
