Carl Huston Says Iloya Expect to See Trench Life Soon. S. B. Huston. Portland attorney, has received a letter from his son, Carl, who Is now In France, which tells of the life In "rural community where he is billeted." "It Is mighty Interesting here." he writes, "as the life is so different from the city. Since there have been very few troops here, the prices of every thing are fairly reasonable. Thursday was a big French fete day, celebrating the feast of the Ascension and the populace from miles around came to see the Americans drill. Many of them had never seen an American before. "Being a rural community, there are many old customs still in vogue that incite no little interest. For instance, when anything new happens, the peo ple are made acquainted with it by the town crier,' who goes around beat ing a drum and crying out the news. There are practically no four-wheeled wagons here, all high-wheeled carts. The French are adept at balancing the loads so that the horse hasn't much weight on his back. Donkeys and burros are used Instead of horses. Goat's milk is used quite freely and Isn't bad at all. The people are fine to us and quite sociable.
