TH-LAMOOK, Or., Sept. 30. (Spe cial.) According to Fred C. Baker, the secretary, the Roosevelt me morial Coast highway association is well pleased with the action of the republican convention in Portland, Tuesday, in placing a plank in its platform pledging early completion ct the Roosevelt highway. It was through the efforts of this associ ation that the coast highway was made art of the state highways, and a large amount of road work being done, with the assurance from the state highway commission that the coast highway will be finished as soon as funds are available. Mr. Baker says several issues have been injected into the coming political campaign, r.cr.e of which will help to build up and develop the coast counties as the completion of the Roosevelt highway, and for that reason the people of th coast coun ties should continue to stand to gether and help elect the republican ticket, for there is" no telling when the coast highway will be com pleted if a democratic governor is elected. Thi appears to Je the opinion of all the director of the association. which includes the seven coast counties. . Not only is Mr. Baker pleased with the action taken by the re publican convention, but he is in receipt of a letter from Walter L. Tooze Jr.. chairman republican state central committee, nlso pledging support to the early completion of the Roosevelt highway. Mr.-Tooxe Buys: I hivt your favor of September 23 and hstvo noted contents. I note what you say about our friend Walter Pierce and Ills stand upon the Roonevett high way. I think Waiter Pierce would stand for anything that he thourht would brin htm a few votes, figuring that promisee are for election rtfther than solemn ob ligation that must be carried out after on t elected. The republican convention ' tomorrow will adopt a platform contain in tr an In dorsement of the Ron? veil htRway. and t the republican party Is continued in power the road programme. Including the completion of the Roosevelt highway, will be carried out. This wilt be a solemn pledge of the republican party and not the Irresponsible promise of a "chamelevn candidate for public oft ice, I trust this will be satisfactory. If Qtizen'Vtteraii I TO SOMK trie recent war was the blackest of tragedies, but to the great majority of.-the men in olive arab It was merely a great adventu:e an adventure in which j-at times there were jljsagrteabie jt feuturt-s. But always' there were i the silver linings to the clouds, the limes of enjoyment; the amusing incidents which made life worth while even in a dugout or a bar- racks. " --' -. . Karl Hutchinson of "Oregon City was acting as chef du train, accord ing; to the humorous comment of the littlt: French switchman who occupied a switchhouse adjacent to th railroad construction job of the ISth engineers railway, not far from Itordeaux.1 tfhat is, Earl was brakeman on a dirt train which was used In making a fill across a sHvamp. 1 . ' The engine coughed away, piloted by -"Dad'.' Phillips, veteran engineer of Portland, and the string of . dirt cars was shoved further and further out into the swamp on the tempo? rary track. Hutchinson occupied the lead car. his arms aloft sig nalling "go ahead slow." As the train- reached the deepest part of the swamp the footing of the track suddenly gave way and the car of dirt upon which the hero of this story, was standing luched gently but persistently over into the ooze and "water. Hutchinson made a jleap for life- A moment later he came up, spitting out muddy water and, with mud flow ing from every portion of his body. clambered to safety, much to the amusement of the gang of workers on the "dump." It was then that he won the sobriquet of "Aviation Hutchinson. The fiero of this story will remain unnamed for the reason that he is now married and is reputed to be leading a sober life. Suffice it to say that he was a member ' of the 18th engineers (railway). It was one of those little t two wheeled donkey carts which brought about his downfall. The Yank was on leave in Bordeaux for the first time and was enjoying the scenery around the various cafes to the full. When he started for home Jie was feeling ready for affy sort of adventure. As he plodded down a side street) his hob-nailed shoes knocking chunks from the historic pavement, he spied a demoiselle ahead piloting a diminutive donkey and a two-wheeled cart loaded with fruit. The maiden smiled an Invitation at the Yank. Without more ado he put on full speed ahead and sprang up behind on the cart with the Intention of stealing a kiss from the occupant of the "voiture." . But alas, the load was too great. The belly band of the harness- broke, the shafts flew up and girl, Yank and fruit were deposited into the middle of the street. The girl called the gendarmes and it took all the Yank's meager mastery of French to keep him from getting in a French jail. The Yank vowed" never again; and he kept his word until the next leavein town. Around the old stove in one of the barracks of company F, ISth engineers, some of the most exciting tajes of the war were told. The .stories began to get more and more exciting and more and more im probable. At last Harry Smith, who hailed from Portland and Oregon City, had a big idea. He installed' an old bucket filled with rocks in fhe top of the barracks unknown to . the champion storytellers. Operated with a string, this apparatus sounded not unlike a million tin Lizzies turned loose at once. When the olive drab grang gath ered around the stove that night one of the champions of the hot stove league started in with one of those "that remind me" tales. The finish of the story was greeted with the frantic ringing of the "goat getter" by Private First-Class Smith. , It required but a few ap plications of th new invention to drive the hot-stove league to flight. . Every man who has worn the, olice drab knows that retreat is one of the most solemn ceremonies in miliary life. The regiment is lined up, th bugles blow "retreat", and the colors are lowered for the night. The 18th engineers (railway had just landed in Camp Genicart, France. It was one of those beau tiful autumn evenings. The regi ment was lined up for the retreat." Everyone was standing . at atten tion. It was time for the buglers to blow the call. Sudenly a dimin utive donkey, which had been tethered just in the rear of the buglers by, a fruit peddler, began to bray with all his might. Retreat was not blown that night for the reason that not a bugler could master himself sufficiently to function. Even Colonel Kavanaugh was reputed to have smiled, and as for the buck privates- the solemn ity of the occasion was ruined. 'mm So it was throughout the war. The Yank found time tor laugh, even during the most trying circum stances and it was this irrepressible good humor which -would find time to joke about the kaiser,, about mud-filled trenches and about the French rain", which proved a large factor In the winning of Chateau Thierry1 and the Argdnne and the war itself. It was during the hottest fight ing of the Argonne. - A youthful doughboy was discovered lying wounded ty the stretcher bearers. "Are you hit?r he was asld. "It's nothing." came fhe reply, and- he tried to smile, though his face was wry with pain, "just a little souvenir-from Fritz. e The jesting words wew scarcely out of his mouth when his head dropped and death had claimed an other victim. But the soldier who knew not defeat still smiled. - For most of the boys who wore the olive drab, however, some verses which appeared in "The Spiker," published overseas, might be ap plicable: A Mins or Two. They ni-ed me at home, . So Fv heal 3 said. And they mi&aed me- lo France -With German lead. . And now that the missing Is over I guess, I'll Mrs. a miss, Who missed me she sayg.

That a new railroad from Lebanon into the Cascade . moun tains along the South Santiam river to White City above Cascadia is to be undertaken In the near future is a persistent rumor.
