"WITH THE COLORS"
Jan. 181918.
To the Lincoln County Leader:
We left Vancouver the Cth day of
December, 1917 at 7:45 P. M.
We came up the river and out thru
Spokane, Wash., and Into Idaho. We
came thru Sand Point, Idaho the lake
there la sure a lovely sigh t. There
are three large steam boats running
on it.
The first place that I can remember
after getting Into Montana was Heron.
Lit was made up of a dozen or two
houses and a store . or two. Came
down by Thompson Falls and Para
dlsce and .Into Missoula. There is a
Fort near there by the same name,
and then we turned down by Deer
Lodge and Butte City, then on Into
Gallatin and over to Billings then
turned Southeast down thru Sheridan,
Wyoming. We came arross the Black
Hills of Wyoming and South Dakota.
We only crossed a corner bf Smith
Dakota (Southwest). In Nebraska we
came thru Crawford, Alliance and on
down thru Lincoln and then over onto
a little of Iowa and down thru Bur
lington, Missouri and down to St.
Louis. Wte thought that we would get
to see some town when we got there
but ns we were nicely into the shipping
part of he town we took a high dive
and when we came out into daylight
again we were ready to cross the Miss
issippi river so all we saw was the
depot and river. We came across mi.
nols and Indianna to Louisville, Ken
tucky and thru Frankfort and over to
Huntington, West Virginia and frnm
there to the American University at
Washington, D. C. Arrived on the 14,
of December at 3:00 P. M. Rtuvpii
over Friday and Saturday came down
to uolvolr about 25 miles below D. C.
Wo came thru under Washington
we did St. Louis. We came out on the
car line to ML Vernon and then took
our blankets and grips and walked
the eight miles on into camp. We are
on tire bank of the Potomac river.
The river is on three sides of camp.
The branch that runs on the west and
north sides is about a half mile across
but the one on the south side which Is
the main river looks to be about two
miles wide or more. The Government
is going to put up a large barracks
here. The one we are In will only
hold about 1000 men. The 23rd r.n.
glneers Co. D. Is camped on our drill
grounds. They have four small houses
fnd 59 large tents.
Some of the boys here are surveyers
and have layed out 50 miles of streets
for the new camp which with this
one will be named Camp Humphrey.
The camp Is on the old plantation of
Lord Fairfax. Some of tho bricks
are still laying ou the ground and In
the road there is an old grave :yard
near by where the house stool. This
camp once was an officers training
camp and while they were digging
trenches they dug Into his grave and
had to fill up part of the trench. There
Is a cross standing by his grave now,
an old one.
The river has been frozen over for
the last month. From where the
building stood you can see up and
down the river for miles. From here
we can hear Uncle Sam trying out his
big guns.
Yours truly,
Brown Brothers,
Camp Ilelvolr, Va.

J. C. KURTICHANOV
AT WASHINGTON, D. C.
Washington, D. C,
Feb, 2, 1918.
820 Kennedy St.. N. W.
Mr. F. N. Hayden,
Toledo, Oregon.
Dear Friend:
I promised many of frlenda Wk
there when I left that I would wrlto
and tell of my work here and my trip
enroute thru the columns of the "Lea
der" but so far I have been too busy
to De able to wrije.
I arrived here Just a week am tn.
day, after six day trip from home
i Washington, D. C.
I was very much dlssaoDointed in
regard to the Journey here as we pass-'
el all the most Interesting nlarna t
night.
We left Portland Mondav
about 8:10 P. M. and consequently
missea tae entire scenic travel along
the Columbia and Cascade Mountains.
About 10:30 P. M. of the first even
ing oat, from Portland, we ran Into
now and I han't 'seen anything but
snow ever since.
The snow was no where a font rtnon
on the level until we got past Chicago,
but It was drifted against fences and
buildings several foe deep. The ther
mometer registered around lero moBt
of the time and that was the coldest I
ver saw. It was rather Severe on such
a moss back as me.
The snow was not deep enough any
where to seriously impede the traffic,
as one would have Judged from the
newspaper reports-The Northern Pa
cific train over which went was on
schedule time to Chicago, and from
there I went via the Pennslyvanla R. R.
reputed to be the fastest train in the
U. S., bet it was five hours -late from
Chicago to Pittsburg, and, and three
hours late from Pittsburg to Washing
ton. I arrived at this place Saturday A.
M. I found it the nicest city I ever
saw and also the coldest end the most
congested that I ever saw. On account
of the many new Government em
ployees it is almost impossible to go
anywhere except by walking and that
is very crowded. After office hours
I have often waited as long as one or
two hours before I could find a car
that I could crowd on.
I am working as a typist in the of
fice of the Quartermaster General, at
the War and Navy Building. It Is the
most massive building I ever saw,
(except a few more big ones here too)
covering an entire square and about
six stories high.
The snow is about fourteen inches
deep on the level here but In the City
proper Is Is piled up several feet high.
It h also packed like ice by the enor-
mus traffic so it makes it very danger
ous to try to venture out afoot The
worst thing tho Is the great shortage
of coal. One can get only so much at
a time and then not always as be
needs It.
The people here are the most un
obliging and often impudent taken as
a whole I ever saw. if any of them
have any thing to sell or a room to
rent or toko a boarder they Biiitly
make the word "Extortion" look cheap.
But the best trait In nearly all of
them is that everyone is trying to do
his "BIT" for Uncle Sam.
I have found several Oregnnlans
here and It seems almost like a family
reunion when we meet, In this far off
land.
Well I must close as I am writing
this during office hours and must at
tend to duty or at least to some of It.
I will be very glad to hear from
any one personally as well us thru
the Leader as I havn't had any mall
from home yeL
With best wishes to the Lender and
to Lincoln County, I am,
Your friend
John C. Kurtichanov.
ON A TRAIN FROM
TEXAS TO OHIO
WE left Old Kelly Field one day
And on a train we went away.
That train it swayed from side to side.
We were started then on our big ride
From Texas 'cross the Great Divide.
From there we went to get our stock
We left San Ann at three o'clock.
The boys were glad' they were being
- sent
To Ret away from Texas stale,
For they hud it very straight
That from that state wo world go
From their to Fairfield, Ohio.
Now, on a train there's lots of fun
Provided you don't want to run.
You always have tho time to write
If you're not put on guard thai night.
For then you'll have to sleep all day
So that the daylight fades away.
We passed thru many little towns
But never were we met with frowns
For the people know that the soldier
boy
Has a life that Is not full of Joy.
We crossed the Mississippi on a barge;
It held six cars, it was quite large.
It took six cars, did this old boat
We were halt afraid it would nt float
And when the skipper hollered "Ho",
It was a slunul thai we would go;
From there on our way to New Orleans
Before the chef had cooked the
beanR.
Wo ulo tUoKo beans, and they were
fine
As wo sailed. along the I. C. Lino
Over the prairie and thro woods of
pine
Till we had reached tho Mississippi
line.
As we started on thru Mlnslcslp
The engineer lilt up quite a clip.
He went nlong at 40 miles or more
Till we stopped at Canton to opeu
the door
To give the boys the town awhile
And each piotty girl coiuriuuica a
smile
At Canton the folks showed hospitality
But most of the boys went off for a
fpree.
In that town we had fun galore
The girls got kisses and asked for
more.
We stayed there only two short hours
The only thing we couldn't find was
flowers. .
Then on our trip we started to go
Still bound for Fairfield, Ohio.
We left Mississippi over night
Of old Tennessee we never got sight
It was sure dart, dark as pitch
And we went thru Tennessee with-
out a hlteh
Next morning when the day grew
bright
The porter said "Kentucky In sight".
Now we're traveling thru Kentucky
Still going along In the old I. C
Oiilng thru hills of red, red clay
With Ohio still many miles away.
We haven't reached old Fairfield yet
But when we do It's one' safe bet
That we will try to reach the place
Where we loft behind a pretty face.
We left that pretty face back home
for we had many miles to roam
And maybe we'll have to cross the
foam
To fight for the loved ones at home.
We may come back some day to find
The little girl we left behind
With a fellow who didn't go to war
Someone she didn't know boforv

YOU COOK YOUR
YOUR TOBACCO?
YOU know what broiling
does to steak, baking to a
potato and toasting to bread.
In each case flavor is brought
out by cooking by "toasting."
' So you can imagine how
toasting improves the flavor
of the Burley tobacco used in
the Lucky Strike Cigarette.
