Fast boats take us to North Island where we are on duty the entire day and at evanlng time we return. I can't go Into this very much farther at this tlmo as we are In this war and can't dlscloBO facts. We were entertained by a miiaatrel last night, out In the open air. There were at least 3000 of us. When the entire chorus sung Wake up America, all the sailors arose from the seats, waved their hats In the air and a staff photographer took a snap shot of the whole affair. Tonight there Is a large navy ball out In the open with music by the band. There Is estimated to be close to 6000 of us now so you can Judge for yourself as to the room we will have. The dance Is only for the navy hoys. Only the best of girls will be allowed to enter the park. It Is a Court Marshal offense to bring an un desirable lady friend to this dance ac cording to announcements by the of ficer of the day. This dance Is to be free. Punch and refreshment will be served and the sailors are working hard to put the cement pavement In shr.pe to dance on, using sonpstonc. I wish you could be down here for the dance as there will be plenty of room and you could don my extra uniform they might be a misfit but what of that. It would be a durn good fit for the shape you'rs in. Your friend, Clarence A. Ofstedahl, U. S. N. Training Station, Balboa Park. FEBRUARY 22nd, 1918 t,L.li.iitt-HA 1 1 1 1 1 ' ttrwvTTTT.

II ii CLARENCE OFSTEDAHL WRITES U. S. Air Service Station, Bal Boa Park, San Diego, Cal., Feb. 17th, 1918. Dear Forn and All: After six weeks of steady study very near every day, I have completed the course In. the Quarter Master aviation. My final mark In the examination was 350 points out of a possible 400. 260 would pass though. The best of all, of which I am proud Is that the mark I received on my smooth log Is 390, it I was smart enough I could have gotten 400 which Is perfect. In this smooth log Is contained everything I have heard while in classes when the instructors were Instructing us in our work. , After chow we put on overalls, tion and In close proximity to the rail road track. Further, new construction ; would be required between the first house and Olalla Slough to make a road suitable for the travel which may be expected on this route. j This route Is circuitous; steep1 grades shoufd be cut down, and sharp j curves should be flattened. Asldo ; from these construction features, there , is serious objection to this route be cause no provisions are made for tra-' vel coming from the South (Ona, Bay-' View and Waldport) without a detour which adds considerable distance to the present road. Therefore recom-1 mend that this route be eliminated from consideration. B. The site recommended by , Messrs. Porter & Derrick, beginning at . a point 75 feet Southeast of Butler's house and crossing the railroad over head; overhead crossing would add to the cost. Grading is heavy on the ' upper side of the track and moving of ' buildings necessary if the grading Is kept near the railroad, or, if the road, is built over the hilL consldorable ! elevation will hnve to be overcome. ' If built parallel to and on river side 1 nf tho trucks, considerable longer brlilgn or FniHnknu nt would hn ro nuired than on the route proposed by petition. Therefore r..'jn;t this b!1C. IV-The cm.- r.'.i'.K iu the npiirorlihate l 'c'.lipn ;.r;iii:-efl In fie pi titii'n of .1. M. K. Butler nnd others ! recom mended for adoption exeopt that lli steii'l of eroysliiK tli s railroad ItacVs at grade mul terminating In Iho cen ter of rallrond street, I would advise keeping the roadway on the river side of the railroad emhunkuient until the present railroad grade crossing Is reached In order to combine In one crossing all the travel possible, end especially this crossing Is preforablo to the other, being nearer tho depot, and for this reason trains are operated at slower speed. In faet, It Is doubt ful If the grade crossing as proposed In the petition would be allowed, by the Public Service Commission on a new construction Improvement. It Is apparent also that to use an over head crossing at this point would ne cessitate a sharp curve to the approach and heavy grading at the clay cut op- nostte the Port Dock on the upper side of the truck This Is an expenditure which would not be Justified compared with the route proposed on a lower level and parallel with the tracks 00 the river side. In the matter of connecting roals oa the South side of the Bay, I suggest that before Improvement work Is done a survey be made and on estimate prepared of the cost of building a road at the foot of the slope of the hill and at an elevation of eight to ten feet above the elevation of the Tide FWte, In Keeping With the Big Thoughts of the Day The daily press reflects a sentiment throughout the nation which clearly indicates a new condition. Men are wanted everywhere. The work of this war Is be ing carried on largely by those who never before have beea in public office or In public work. Men who have been too busy, too engrossed with their own tasks, ore leaving their work to others and giving their time and ability to the cause which is ours, yours everybody's. It is a time when politics in the ordinary sense must not be considered. It calls for all the ability than can be mustered. Oregon to be a successful part in this unit plan for the defense of Democracy, must likewise place the thought of the times before everything. In another part of this paper appears the announcement of L. J. Simpson as a candidate for the nomination for Gov ernor on the Republican ticket. Mr. Simpson was urged to become a candidate by his many friends in every part of the state, because of his business record, his understanding and knowledge of Oregon's resources, industries and needs; be cause of his public-spiritedness, which of recent years has led him to tasks which have been, more important to him than his own affairs. L. J. Simpson is clearly the man who can give Oregon the administration necessary to this plan of National Efficiency. His campaign will be directed straight to you as voters, as individuals who do your own thinking. We are firmly convinced you will not allow politics to influence your decision, and that you will vote for the man who is best fit to help the people of Oregon, develop the state'E vast resources, and to prepare for, and participate in, the gveat reconstruction that is to follow. We believe you will weigh issu'3 more closely than ever before, mid that L. J. Simeon will Lo your choice. ' VMIUMMUUAK 1 It r WHAT YOU CAN CO i'Ul.iT 'i'ulk over hi.- cr.n (lidticy with your friends. SECOND If you believe that L. J. Simpson is worthy of your support write a letter to this committee. Suggest how his cause may be advanced. We, in turn, will tell you how you can help. Paid Advertisement Issued by "Simpson for Governor" League Plttock Block, Portland and also a similar survey and esti mate for a connecting road from the bridge down the river to a Juuctlon with the Wright Creek road at tide water, affording In this way a water grade route for both of these sections of road. For the bridge Itself, I would recom mend a timber structure using pile bents. In all probability the War Department will. order a clear open ing over the main channel. A suit able lift span could be designed which would meet their requirements. This spnn over the channel would be placed at an elevation of fifteen feet above hlghwatcr with approximate grades not to exceed five percent on each side. For bridge across the Tide Flats, a pile structure Is recommended with the deck placed above extreme high water, having roadway along the track embankment as far as possible using materials from the cut on the South side of the railroad tracks near the Port Dock and the balance a low bridge. When you have secured right of way and are ready to go ahead with this Improvement, this ortlce will be glad to design a sutable structure and fur. nluh complete plans and specifica tions for the same.
