Speier, of the Port of Port land, was on the dock and assisted the officers In loading the boat. Great Change la SO Years. A transport leaving for a new sta tion now, as compared with half a century ago, would sound almost In credible. Then it was a hardship, now It Is almost a pleasure trip for all on board. In the olden days the trans ports were few. they traveled slowly. and there were few accommodations of any kind. A transport now has ac commodations as good as a first-class hotel, with baths. washrooms, fine sleeping quarters and there are even sanitary drinking fountains instead of cups. The rooms are lighted with electricity, cooled by electric fans. there Is cold storage, fresh fruit, fresh meat, and fresh vegetables and ex perts along to prepare them in the best possible manner. It is an assured fact that there will be a large crowd at the dock to see the Sherman leave for Honolulu this morning. Several hundred are expected to come from Vancouver.' The Twenty first will arrive the first of the week, but her numbers are depleted as so many soldiers desired to remain In the islands, where they get double time and 20 per cent increase In psy. A sol dier serving 15 yearn In foreign posses sions would be entitled to retire on three-fourths pay. Lewis River Lumber Camp ActiTe. WOODLAND. Wash.. May 9.
