Maxedon of B street was the recent recipient of a letter from her son Arthur, who is in the navy and is on board tho U. S. S. Pittsburgh. Arthur enlisted In tho dispensatory corps and has later been transferred to the medical depart ment of the surgical corps. The let ter In part follows: "I am writing to tell you of our trip down to South America. Wo left San Diego, Cal., on May 8, and were under way five days when we anchored off San Jose, Guatamala, w here we stayed for about four dayp. From there we went to Balboa, the American city of Panama. I made a liberty in Panama that night and visited my first city out of United States. Panama is a fairly nice tow n, but it is a place that looks dirty on account of the narrow streets and the open front stores, but In Balboa where the American colony live It. is very pretty and some nice houses In Balboa is the largest dry dock In the world, and we went into dry dock there and repaired the ship. W)n May 24 we went through th Panama canal, starting at 6 o'clock In the morning, and In an hour or so arrived at the first of the lock?, the Miraflore locks, two In number, aud later the Pedro Miguel. We thou went through the most interesting part of the canal, the Culebra cut, which certainly was a fine piece of work. From there we went through the Gatun lake and then through the Gntun locks, and around In Colon at 2 p. m. the sume day. "Colon Is about the same as Pan ama, only smaller. The American colony there Is called Christobol, which is about the same as Balboa. Tho supplies and coal for ships are kept here. "On May 29 we got under way and steamed south. June 10 we crossed the equator and had a big celebra tion. Were Initiated In the Roynl Order of Neptune's Rex, as the sail ors call It. The Initiation was an amusing sight, everybody dumped In a big tank, eating balls of dough with pepper on them, and such things. "We arrived In Bahea, Brazil, af ter being under way for 16 days. Bahea Is a city cf about 250,000 population-, and Is a very dirty city for one that size. It has narrow streets and they are not kept clean,. I had one liberty there, but was not very enthusiastic about the place. We then got under way and went to Rio de Janeiro, which Is a pretty city of over a million population. We had a good time there and learned to speak a little Portuguese, which is somewhat similar to Spanish The people treated us fine, and the av enues were lined with tall palms and were beautiful. Rio is a good place to make a liberty for a while, but after you have been over therea few times a person gets tired of it, "About July 11 we arrived Ir. Montevideo, Uruguay, where wfe cer tainly got a fine reception. As wo came In tho hnrbor a large number of boats came to meet us, and they certainly gave us a welcome all tho whistles blowing and the bells Ring ing. When we went ashore every body was teaching us to spoajc Span ish, giving Invitations to homes and such. "The best place of all was Buenos Aires. We certainly received a wel come 'there. I never saw such a crowd of people before, and they cer tainly treated us royally. A person could not pay to go to a show, and I beard Caruso sing here. The Argen tine people gave us fine dinners and entertainments. Everybody was friendly and tried to talk, and It was hard to understand anything at first, but in a little while we could under stand some of the Spanish, after which we got along all right. The ship got under way and left Buenos Aires on August 2, and we went back to Rio de Janeiro. I think that is a pretty good trip for a fellow that has not been in the navy a year, isn't It? It certainly Is some experience to me." Mrs. James Barrett left last even ing for Tacoma, Wash., where she goes to visit her daughters for two or three monthls. O. T. Bergner, who has been locat ed In San Francisco for some time, has returned to Ashland. Mrs. G. A. Briscoe will leave Satur dav for Los Angeles, where she has been called by the serious Illness of her mother. Mra.

No advance in prices. Would Exempt High School Teachers An effort is being made through out the country to have high school teachers subject to draft exempted, at least until the close of the school year. Senator Chamberlain has been approached on the subject and State Superintendent J. A. Churchill and other prominent educators in the state are working in concert on the matter. The argument advanced in favor ot this movement is that it is neces sary to the future welfare of the country that the boys, who are Its future army as well as future busi ness men and statesmen, should be held In the high school. If possible, and even though women could be se cured to teach the branches now taught by the young men, they could not hold the boys In school. Local and Personal S. A. Peters, Jr of 1st company, O. C. A., expects to leave Fort Stev ens January 5 for an officers' train ing camp to try out for a field artil lery commission. Ed Flackus left Wednesday even ing for a short business trip at Port laud. Mr. and Mr6. J. N. Rinehart of Salem were Christmas guests at the home of their daughter, Mrs. Harry Sayle.
