Stafford
STAH-XJUD, Oct. Jl-The following
are extracts from a letter received
by Mrs. M. A. Gage from her daughter,
Mrs C. A. Sweek. formerly of Hums,
Harney county, who is at present at
Corvallls for the pt.rpose of sending
I cr two younger ihtl Ireu to the school
and college. You can see she Is an
enthusiastic worker for the Red Cross
home Red Cross work to keep our
boys In health, looking forward to the
time when strong houlthy young men
may be called to help finish this war
for the rlht.
Corvallls, Ore., Oct. 22, 191 S
The boys her are under army reg
ulations 'and rules, cannot go more
than two miles from the campus, and
those quartered at the barracks can
not leave the campus without permis
sion. The college could not aeeom
moderate them all yet, so three or tour
hundred are at present In private
houses. I have my house full of liar
ney county boys. They have to be
at the armory to form ranks for men
at 6 a. m. promptly. Even a few mo
ments late puts them on the kitchen
police.
Now here is the trouble: The boys
are dressed for. in-door school, aud
the heavy fog and r.ins we have had
here and will "continue to have from
now on goes right through their shoes

and coats, as they have to march and
stand at attention by the hour of
course wherj drilling, and some days
during the rainy weather they were
damp all over all day. I had those
quartered with me come to the fire
hang up their coUs to dry, put on
dry shoes and have their wet ones
dry by morning.
The uniforms will be issued as soon
as they are mustered in, but they are
of cotton. O. D. boys must furnlBh
their underwear, socks and outside
shirts. '
Now you people I hope will start a
movement right now, and get these
boys two pair wool sox and sleeveless
sweaters. The box can not get here
too soon and the sweaters must hurry
up. These youngsters are Just our big,
overgrown, soft kids, and must be
cared for now, to guard them against
this dreaded influenza. I think every
county should look out for their own
boys, who are here. To my mind it is
the greatest Red Cross work there Is.
I have written to Harney county and
intend to stir others up, having con
fidence that If they Just knew all would
help.
Now get the names of all Clackamas
county boys, who are here, and knit,
old and young, big and little, knit, knit,
knit, as you never knit before, for it
is really a life and death affair that
these boys have dry backs and feet.
They must have all the encourage
ment and thought for them possible, as
this is their first going from home, and
when they are so uncomfortable, one
would not wonder if they looked long
ingly back to the flesh potB of Egypt
as exemplified in Mothers' home kitch
en, but a stiff upper Up is the rule, and
no word reaches the home folks,
thinking that might seem like corn-
plaining and they want to be Ilka all
young Americans to be gritty and
tough, but we ran not expect them to
hold out forever when wet feet and
shoulders will take the snap out of the
most seasoned men. Therefore, I can
not urge all too much to knit, knit.
I am proud to any that I am the
Harney county mother, and I Insist on
the boys reporting to me, and they
really seem to like the Idea, and I more
than like It, as I feel I am of a little
use In helping In a small way to train
our future cltlxen soldiers.
Wilt write more next time, but now
feel that I must round up some more
counties, or rather tell them what Is
needed, and I am sure these boys will
receive what they need, and will be
able to make good, but they must have
those sox and sweaters.

on Into Oregon City. The stretch of
400 feet on the south side of the hill

MAYOR LOSES DUCKS
AND VALUABLE GUN
Mayor W, 11. Hair played in hard
luck couple of Sundays ago, when,

ing," together with his brand new Rem
ington automatic gun, all of which was
stolen from his car, while It was left
standing at one of his stops for a short
time only, In Portland. Although he
searched high and low for a trace, he
was unable to find either culprit, gun
or ducks.
DO YOU WANT TO
SERVE YOUR CITY.
It there Is any one who wishes to
place himself on the altar of public
opinion he will likely have a chance
within the week, by simply offering to
become a candidate f,or city office, as
none of the present officials with pos
sibly the exception of J. Leo Kckerson
as treasurer, cares one whit about run
ning, and really so far as can be
learned at this time, doesn't Intend to
longer be made to carry the brunt of
things hereabouts. So here Is a chance
for some patriotic clthen to get an op
portunity to serve his constituents with
fear and trembling and without a red
cent of remuneration. A most entic
ing Inducement, eh!
