Soldi era Waab Owa Dlebra.
Food for the soldiers is cooked in
large kettlea and each roan la ' fur
nished with dishes, knives, fork and
spoons. The buipcle call Is sounded
when a meal Is ready and he men
line up and are served with their ra
tiuns, which they can eat at once. Each
soldier then washes his own dishes and
returns them to bis kit.
On tho upper decks, however, the
service la much different. .There is a
larsre. well-l!s;hted and luxuriously
furnished dining-room with real linen
and sliver, and carpeted floors. There
are neatly dressed and wril-manncred
Filipino boys as waiters so that the
officers and their families can live with
an luc c-vmiuru on Doara me boat that
they could secure In a high-priced

The Quartermaster of the troops is
Captain John P. Hpurr. U. S. A. Lieu
tenant C. T. King has charge of the
ship n hospital.
No Liquor la Allowed.
Passes were allowed only o the en
listed men last night In exceptional
cases, it being hard to -collect the men
on such short time. However, the of
fleers attended a banquet and farewell
reception glvon by the Portland Com

tain Alfred Aloe wa officer of tho day,
and the officers of the guard were
Lieutenants Samuelson. Snow and

Hcy Vlalta Ship.
The officers' wives held open house
and they were visited by scores of so
ciety folk of the city In their state
rooms and on the first cabin deck. The
afternoon passed away quickly for
them In saying goodbye to friends they
hope, but do not expect, many of them.
to see again. During their four years'
stay In Vancouver Barracks the women
of the post have made many warm
friends in this city and they have been
entertained much. Also many society
people of Portland have attended so
cial functions at the Army post and
enjoyed the Army hospitality.
On board the transport besides the
First Infantry are 294 recruits of
which number 234 are colored, bound
for the Twenty-fourth Infantry at

of arrangement for loading the troops
and their baggage and equipment.
Captain J. 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.
