Sailor Writes of
Voyage on U. S. S.
Mrs. J. B.. 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

her mother.

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.
