COMPANY STREET FLOODED
Howard Sbarpe Writes Sfotlier That
Last Day at Camp Mills
Caused No Worry Among
Oregon Boys.
Howard Sharp, son of Mrs. Josephine
R Sharp. 1035 East Twenty-fourth
street North, In a letter written to his
mother early In December, while the
Oregon troops were stationed at Camp
Mills, throws an interesting sidelight
on the conditions at the camp during
the final days. Mr. Sharp Is a member
of Company E. 162d Infantry, 41st Di
vision. The letter follows:
"Today has been Inspection day and
this afternoon --a strong; wind, with
snow, came up. Tonight the wind n&s
been much stronger a gale and the
snow has turned to a driving rain. One
tent in our company fell to the ground
and another is half down. My tent has
withstood the storm so far, and except
for a couple of small rivers that come
oosing In from the tent drippings and
threatened our fire, we are quite cosy.
We got one of the streams shut out
and the other partly so and built a
small dyke around the stewe and are
sitting around the fire (thank goodness
we have plenty of wood tonight), writ
ing letters.
'The storm has about blown Itself out
and the rain is not coming down quite
so hard as a little while ago. I Just
shifted my position and got a few
sprinkles from some where, a leak In
the tent. I hope the rain decides to
stop soon, as our company street is a
quagmire by this time and It is going
to be rather disagreeable in the(rnom-
ng.
We are having lots of run tonight.
There is a drain ditch running down
through the middle of our camp and
rossine- our street lust below our tent.
The ditch could not carry the water and
our tent has been flooded and we
topped writing to make a survey of
conditions. One of the boys bunt
bigger dyke around the stove, as the
water was running In pretty strong.
ou see, these stoves sit down In. the
round and when a flood comas the
water runs Into the stove and if we do
not get busy soon, we are out of heat.

since then, much ammunition has been
fired on the range In the basement of
the headquarters building. There has
never been any regular drill before.

Airplane timber superior to the best
spruce is the claim of Bryan R. Dorr,
president of the Major Creek Lumber
Company, "or Dorr, wash., who is in
the city arranging for an addition to
his mill's output In expectation of
large Government contracts.
The material of which Mr. Dorr pro
poses to build airplanes Is a peculiar
fir that grows in abundance on the
east slope of the Cascades between
Lyle and White Salmon, Wash., adja
cent to the Major Creek Lumber Com
pany's mill.
This "Major Creek Fir," according to
Mr. Dorr, is much stronger than the
ordinary Douglas fir because it grows
In a dry climate and a rich volcanic
ash soil, and a erases about 21 an
nular rings to the inch instead of the
eight rings to the inch required by
the Government in its contracts for
fir. Because of Its greater tensile
strength, Mr. Dorr says that a smaller
wing beam, made of this wood, would
take the place of the spruce wing
beams of larirer sire, and by cuttine-
dawn air resistance Increase tne
plane's speed by from 10 to 20 miles
an hour.
r.Av.mmfnt testa are being conduct
