BT R. H. CONSELU
SAVSALITO. Cal., Aug. 10. Night
was fast settling down upon bluff
Cape Mendocino when I turned to
leave the wrecked steamship Bear. As
I trudged down the beach, littered with
the broken fragments of thousands of
cases of condensed milk, my toe struck
against some object in the sand and,
unearthing it. I perceived it to be a can
of milk, the contents apparently undis
turbed. You may well Imagine my
delight at this acquisition, particularly
since I had not eaten since breakfast
and only a moment before I had mo
rosely resigned myself to go supperless
to bed.
It had been my purpose to walk out
some distance upon the road to Petro
lia, 15 miles away, to camp by the
wayside when it should become too
dark for walking' and then, when the
full moon should arise at midnight, to
continue into town. But now all
thoughts of a midnight tramp had van
ished. With a can of milk cm which
to sup, I was no longer a starved sin
ner fleeing through the black night
after grub, but a rich man, miraculous
ly relieved from'the pangs of hunger.
With an eagerness almost pathetic I
scratched about among the wreckage
and uncovered a doxen cans more and
all uninjured, as I immediately ascer
tained by sampling. Then I looked
around for a suitable place to camp.
AHr Carries Chill.
On all the Mendocino coast the
trades blow with a cold, penetrating
chill, even in Summer, and to pass the
night with any degree of comfort one
must be protected from that cutting
blast.
Just on my left hand and well above
the tides was a deep indentation in the
bluffs; on the beach was a miscellany
of ship's canvas, broken packing caaes

and bits of lumber, and since I am a
fellow of a mechanical turn, I soon
constructed for myself, out of these
materials, a "nest" that would have
rivaled the palisaded retreat of poor
Robinson Crusoe or the famed "tree
house" of the Swiss Family Robinsons.
My "commissary," so fortuitously pro
duced and now sadly reduced by a
healthy appetite, abetted by the labor
of construction, to four cans, I placed
on a box just within the door.
"What?" you exclaim, horrified, "Do
you mean to tell us that you consumed
nine cans of milk at one sitting?"
"Tesaura, yessir" I blush to have to
confess it. but I gulped three-fourths
of that dozen cans, though. Indeed, to
ward the last my "tummy" took on a
very rotund appearance, whereas be
fore It had been dismally concave. Yum,
yum !
Only then, when I had "supped," did
I reach for my knife to whittle kindling
for a campnre.
It was gone!
I had lost it!
On a tramp such as mine, through
a country as wild as God made it, with
houses long distances apart and fre
quently 100 miles between stores, the
loss of a knife is a very serious handi
cap. For that Invaluable tool, weapon,
utensil I had a dozen Indispensable
needs each day. And when, two days
later. I became caught In the forest and
had to resort to the expedient of clean
ing trout with a safety razor, I would
almost have given my shirt for a
pocket knife. But I am getting ahead
of my story.
Where, then, could I have left It?
Suddenly I remembered that I had
been trimming kodak films in one of
the lifeboats upon the beach; and,
without waiting, I started off at once,
on a run. to see if by any lucky chance
I might recover my property.
On the way there I passed two of
those diminutive dun-colored burros.

so Indispensable in the coal regions of
Colorado. They are ridiculous appear
ing little creatures, as you know, all
head and ears and disposition or in
telligence, which is the same thing.
Nosing stupidly about among the lit
ter upon the beach, they looked up as
I approached, furtively, from under
shaggy eyebrows, and gave me such a
"knowing" leer that I at once suspected
some mischief was on their brutish
minds.
And I was right.
When I had returned again within
sight of my "nest" the spectacle that
greeted my eyes was one of the most
extraordinary that I ever looked upon.
Burros Show Canning:.
Those burros, having some way ac
quired a taste for milk, through possi
bly having discovered broached cans
upon the beach, or maybe because some
sailor hed fed it to them, had figured
out that I had found what they could
not; and. waiting until my back was
turned, had invaded by premises, thrust
in their great heads at my door and,
seizing each a can In his powerful Jaws,
bit down upon It, penetrating the rust
ed tin.
Then they sat down upon their hunk
ers, side by side, elevated their serious
faces toward heaven and, with a vast
contentment, let that rich, sweet fluid
trickle down their .throats and over
neck and ears and eyes. When a can
had been emptied, patiently taking
turn, each licked the adhering drops
from the other's countenance so care
ful were they not to waste any. Then
they immediately reached for more
pushing in the whole front of my
dwelling in their eagerness to get two
heads in at one door.
I did not know whether to laugh or
to get angry. But the sight was so
ridiculous that 1 laughed until tears

the while. Then I spent the remain

der of the evening repairing my house
and digging "milk" for those insatia
ble burros. At last, however, their
stomachs protruded as did my own. and.
apparently satisfied for the first and
only time In their lives, they sauntered
gravely away. At two cans for a
quarter, my I hate to figure the ex
pense. Twenty-flve miles down the coast, a
day later, I came upon a rancher
trundling an unbroken case in a wheel
barrow, and all the children upon the
cape had the stomach ache. Truly, it's
a poor wreck that brings nobody good!
BllUeaaaeaa t Walked Off.
Rising at daybreak the following
morning (a Sunday), with tfo appetite
for breakfast, and my tongue as thick
as your hand. I climbed a rough trail
to the lighthouse, was aet upon the
road to Petrolia by the keeper, and
hoping to walk off the blllious effects
of to much milk by vigorous exercise,
struck into a .five-mile log, which I
kept up into town. But here, for the
first and only time on the long march,
I became "laid oat." The sun struck
upon the hillsides with a blinding, re
sistless heat, and by 11 o'clock, the
mercury on tho porch of the Petroiia
House touched SO degrees. But that
was in the shade only: It must have
registered 100 degrees in the open, and
a clinical thermometer held to my
temples would have shown more than
that. 1 went down to the Mattole
River, removed my clothes and bathed
in tho icy waters. Then I lay down and
enjoyed one of those delicious sick
headache that arise from a disordered
stomach. The st?ht of an, empty milk
can upon the shingle wrought upon
my nerves like an emetic. Immediately
I became relieved of that excess of
milk. At once I felt better, and by 1
P. At I waa entirely well and began to
look about for something to eat. How
inconsistent is the human animal!
But condensed milk presented Itself to
my mind with a curious mixture of
horror and disgust.
Mattole li BealtlfsL
The Mattole River, In lowr Hum
boldt County, California, Is one of the
most ccautlful streams that ever it
has been my good fortune to visit and
I have visited a good many. But far
and above its physical attractions to
me that day is the fact that it is a
famous trout stream. Anglers take
note! From its clear and crystal
waters, are the tales of Its enthusiasts

Oh, yes, -I know. But then I am no

cold-blooded little fellows that you
love so well. Catfishing 18 my forte
and the only "leal" ' trout I ever
aaught was in a hole in the Mattole
and in consequence I'll swear by that
stream until she runs dry, for all trout

in the Darwinian scale.
A.d I caught him with a piece of
linen thread on tl.e end of a redwood
limb for a pole.
Tale of Tront Told.
It was a Sunday, and I was hungry.
very hungry, and the stores at Petroiia
..ore closed. There remained the hotel,
of course, bat for pecuniary reasons I
gave It a wide berth. There also was
the Mattole River, and in it were
trout. Fortunately I possessed a fly,
a "coachman" it was, and a fathom of
strong linen thread. For a pole I
broke off a 20-pound redwood limb
and since I had lost my knife, I could
not even trim off all the branches
those which I could not bite or tear
off. I let dangle.
Thus equipped, I crept softly down
to a deep hole, where the current
steadied a moment at the foot of
long riffle, and clumsily enough, threw
her In. There was no science in that
cast I simply flung about four yards
of black thread and a "coachman'
into the pool with a prayer" that as-
cenjed from a hungry stomach.
Instantly the waters of the Mattole
were churned Into foam, the 20-pound
limb of redwood, with its festoon of
leaves bent nearly double, and the No.
25 linen thread hummed like a fiddle
string. Eureka, there Is virtue in prayer,
else oth rwlse I r.er would have
captured him. I simply prayed and
pulled.
With both fists clasping the pole,
both feet braced firmly against the
rocks, I Just lifted the fighting llt.tle
beaity right out of the water like
blooming catfish.
"Play him?"
I know nothing about such tricks.

I waa the stronger and won that is

But when he came up out of the
watr the pole rtraightened with i
jerk and Sir Trout, coming like a cata
pult struck me square upon the chest.
I al.nost sobbed aloud, for I thought
the thread had broken, and throwing
out my arms with the instinct of
wrestle-, I hugged him to my bosom
like a brother But he was slippery as
an eel, and wriggled loose. My feet be
came entangled in the thread and down

out of her. or whether she died of

nor care; she never moved again of her
own volition.
And when I came to unwrap the
thread from about my ankles, I saw
then how strong It was. There was
honest linen on that spool, and if I
badn t forgotten the manufacturer's
name, I would write him a testimonial.
That is all, except that I had to pre
pare him for the fire with the blade
of r-y safety-razor. and thereafter
went without a shave for many a day.

to pack one's house, bed, arms, eating
equipment and even- ration upon one's
back. While the burden really len't
any hardship for healthy men upon
moderate marches. It has a decided ten
dency to restrain any frolicking by the
wayside among unhardened troops.
Roughly speaking, each man carries
equipment weighing about 50 pounds
when on the march in active service.
At least, that's what it weighs by the
scales in the morning. It seems to
weigh a whole lot more by Evening if
the march has been long.
The main Items of the modem "white
man's burden" are rifle, blankets, shel
ter (half of shelter tent), poncho, am
munition. Intrenching tool, side arms
and haversack with mesa kit, rations
and toilet articles.

In addition, there Is a surplus kit,
which Is not carried by the man per

ing sweaters. All overcoats and blouses
are boxed up. so far as the Oregon
troops are concerned. Each man has
two pairs of breeches, wool and cotton.
The intrenching tools are handy Im

in camp life. Each squad of eight
men is responsible for one pick mat

The first annual Intra-club tennis
tournament of the Laurelhurst Club,
with one exception, is a matter of his
tory, and it was a decided success from
all viewpoints.
The final contests were staged yes
terday afternoon before an appreciative
audience. The main event, the men's
singles, was won by S. B. Cooke over
Eugene P. Steinmetz in three straight
sets, 6-3, 7-5. 6-2.
In the women's singles Miss Miriam
Sinclair defeated Miss Elamita Zanello,
6-2, 5-7. 7-5. In the junior girls' sin
gles Miss Marian Weiss was victorious,
6-1. 7-5, over Miss Gladys Ellsworth.
Then came the most exciting contests
of the afternoon. After dropping the
first series of games by a love set
S. B. Cooke and Clifford C. Harrison,
found themselves In the men's doubles
and won the second and third sets, 6-H.
6-4. Their opponents, Fred Barber and
Eugene Steinmetz, were not to be out
done, so they evened up matters by
annexing the fourth set, 4-6. After
sereval deuce contests Cooke and Har
rison managed to gather In the decid
ing game and take home the men's
doubles championships, 7-5.
Because of the length of the men's
doubles affair it was found impossible
to play out the mixed doubles. The
finals have been scheduled for 11

A ration Is the allowance of food for
one man for one day. The approximate
net weight of the garrison ration is 4 "4
pounds. The reserve ration Is the sim
plest efficient ration and constitutes a
reserve for field service. It weighs
about two pounds. Each man carries
at least two days' reserve rations.
For the information of Oregon house
keepers, here are the component parts
of the reserve ration: Bacon. 12 ounces;
hard bread, 16 ounces; coffee, 1.12
ounces; sugar, 2.4 ounces; salt, .16
ounce.
Here are the weights of the heavier ar
ticles, which will give some idea of the
"heft" of the thlnsrs modern soldiers
carry. The rifle weighs about eight
pounds, the ammunition belt with 90
rounds about eeven pounds, and an In
trenching tool or bayonet under two
pounds. The new blankets weigh three
pounds, the same weight as the shelter
halves and poncho: A canteen full of
water (and they are supposed always to
be full) weighs about three pounds.
Mesa Kit Is Alumlnnns.
The aluminum me?s kit. which In
cludes what is practically a plate, a
pan and a combination cup and boiling
receptpcle. weighs about a pound and
a half. The two-day ration weighs
four pounds, theoretically, although
under normal conditions more food
than that, in weight, has to be trans
ported for men at work In the field.
