Hotor Trucks Factor
In Nation's Speed
, i
The world Is marveling how Amer
ica has progressed 'with auch gigan
tic strides In speeding up shipbuild
ing, turning out 12,000 ton steel
uhlps In 24 days the manufacture
of the steel and metuls required In
thn war program both In America,
England, France and Italy sending
foodstuffs over to Europe for ou'
lilies and furnlsbliiR all supplies an.

toys in t ranee,
The answer Is patriotism, and hav
ing at the head of the various Indus
trios the brains of our nation direct'
ing (he work of the hugo army of
enthusiastic skilled craftsmen.
Ten years bko such deeds could
Lot be accomplished, for few persons
:calize that the use of motor trucks
It one of the principal factors of our
nation's speed. .Motor trucks de
jiver at less expense four times the
nfiintity in one-fourth the time con
i timed by horse-drawn vehicles.
On the Tacific coast motor trucks
are hauling the raw materials, ore. j
chrome and manganese; log und tlm
bir to shipping points nnd delivering
(,'lrect to mill and yard.
G. A. I'rquhart, I'aclfic coast man
ager of the White company, San
J'ranclsco, states: "White trucks
lire certainly tlolii!; their bit in aid
In? the nation. There Is1 a flei't of
Whites hauling chrome ore near
Onnts Pass'; at llornbrook, Wlilf
are moving this precious ore to tho
railroad; Ked nitiff has been ovo
one year the receiving and shipping i
... i. j i,

trucks working ,24 hours a day; a
feet of Whites Is working 24 hours
a day In the sweltering desert heat
(t southern -Nevada hauling daily
COO tons of manganese ore to the
railroad. White trucks are working
In the northwest fore-ts from places
far from a railroad, carrying upruce
ior our airplanes, lrsj for lumbc;
;ind huge ship knro3 for ihlp build
Ing. It Is a fact, without nioto
trrcks, I'ncle Sam couIJ not pin up
tt'ch a record of accomplishment "
Monsieur Leon at Nexon I have con
aldered him as my son, and be calls
me his mother In Franc . Since ho
came to Nexon be Is not unhappy,
tut one thing he misses and that is
the caresses of his American mother.
I do not know Monsieur John very
well, as he has not been In Nexon
ery long, but they are very bappy
to be together. When you receive
this letter, I think they will no long
ur be hero, they will go to ,
and then to the front. I pray God,
Madame, that the war will soon be
over, and your children will return
to kiss you. Not knowing English, 1
hesitate to write you, but your son
pays his American mother can have
it road to her. I am sending you a
little view of the village where your
children are. After the war Monsieur
Leon has promised to bring you and
h's father to Franco. You will see,
Madame, that I seek to distract and
rmusc them, to make life In France
.'.p pleasant ay possible.
Just receive for yourself, Maritime,
nnd your family my sincere, regards.

Ideal weather for harvesting has
prevailed In Oregon during the past
week, according to the weekly sum
inary of weather and crop conditions
Issued August 14, by the weather
bureau. Day temperatures were mod
eratc, with little rainfall.
Barley Is giving poor yields of air
Ciuallty. Oats are ripening fast and
are being harvested with a very light
crop Indicated. Threshing of spring
wheat Is under way, with fair to av
erage yield. Considerable thrashing
of winter wheat was done, with fair
to good yields reported. Corn Is tas
sollng generally. Cool weather has
1-een unfavorable for It.
Meadows under Irrigation are do
ing very well. The third crop of al
falfa Is being cut In Jackson county
nnd has a good start In Josephine.
The second crop promises well In
Klamath, .Malheur and , Wallawo
counties.
Pastures and ranges arc short and
dry. Whllo In some places cattle
arc losing flesh, they are looking
Inter than unfavorable condition
would seem to warrant.
Pears are being picked In south
cm counties. They are plentiful and
of excellent quality. Largo shipments
the comins month are in prospect
Pry weather Is causing some fruit
to fall In Linn county and trees liave
l ecn broken and fruit blown off b
l.lgh winds In Josephine county,
small crop of Crawford poaches
icing narvested In Jackson county
nnd a fair crop In Wasco county.
Rains are greatly needed for gar
dens of all kinds. Hops show effects

aging them. There Is a fair cron of
flax In Marlon county.
tired about 40 shots before the ship
sank. All bf a sudden the ship be
gan to list very rapidly and I then
realized that It was going to sink, the
captain gave the word to abandon
1 hip, everybody; and believe me it
didn't take long for thera to get off
and I was neither the last nor thn
first, I made my way to the quarter
deck and climbed down along the
tide and slipped off my shoes and
jumped Into the water. I swam about
100 yards and caught some lumbor
that had floated from the ship. 1
looked back once and thofriilp was
clear over on her side and men were
running along on the side of her and
Jumping Into the water.
Just as the ship gave the last
:lunge we all sang "The Star Spang
led Hnnncr" and gave the salute and
'.hen It was out of sight.
Everyone wai very cheerful and
bung and laughed all the while. Our
wireless was put out: of commission
so that we did not get an S. O. S. off
and we Just had t wait until sonj'i
ship came along to pick us up. It was
about four hours when some colliers
came along to pick us up and every
one. was rather chilled when we got
on board. We did not get any life
boats launched so were In the water
ail the while.
The colliers' crew gave us all tho
fcod they had, which was not very
much, but I managed to get a spud
rnd a cup of coffee. We arrived at
IHoboken at two o'olock Saturday
afternoon and went aboard the U. S.
S. Maine were we were fed and giv
en some clothes. We stayed there
for a week and so wo are now at
liham Bay, where we expect to stay
two weeks then we go to the recruit
ins ship at Brooklyn to be shanghai
ed on some sea-going ship as they
send in their needs for men. , 1
, In the mean time I am going to
have a good rest and a good time.
Don't you think we deserve it? You
know we made seven trips across be
sides our trips to Honolulu and a half
dozen other trips up and down thtt
coast from Halifax to Norfolk. '
It Just took the ship 27 minutes t
dnk from the minute it was struct
and it Is my opinion It was a torpedo
that struck us. I think there were
on!y about 25 men lost, flvo of them
iielng some of my best friends.
