Muluery Island, on the James river 15 miles from Fortress Mo.i roo, Va., is the site of Camn Eiistls, where the heavy artillerymen arc be ing trained to Mast a way for the American army to Berlin. Here a number of Ashland hoys go to "get their training, and more will un doubtedly be sent to learn to manipu late the big guns that are giving' les sons to the men here to Impart to the Huns "over there." This war game camp, which covers a reserva tion of 16,000 acres, Is one of the greatest projects tho United States has ever undertaken. There have been nilnjic warfare battlegrounds and trench warfare systems, but there has never been one of such magnitude as the firing centre and training camps at Eustis. in order to provide a war game battleground which will turn out thousands of practical artillerymen every month for overseas duty, the construction division, of the army has reproduced at Camp Eustis the exact replica of a wide sector of the western front. Every form of target that exists on the western front has been provided for the battleground A large number of farmhouses have been left Intact In order that they may serve as targets for registration work, while complete battery em placements have been provided, not only for the use of the guns, but also for target purposes In order that practice may be afforded In the de struction of such fortifications. Officers and men at Camp Eustis will actually so thru the process of surveying the ground to determine the exact location and range of tho targets with the utmost precision, because the cost of firing Is enor mous so great, In fact, that the heavy artilleryman must always en deavor to hit the target the first shot. Firing is always at long ranse and conducted with mathematical precis-J Ion. It consists of all guns over five Inch, and howitzers and mortars ov er six-Inch In calibre. The guns are long and fire at long range with high muzzle velocities, while the howit zers are shorter, lighter, fire with lower muzzle velocities and, usually, at higher elevations than guns. Mor tars fire at very high elevations of their muzzles and the lowest eleva tion It uses gives the longest range. Heavy guns may attain a range of 40,000 meters, the projectiles being In the air well over a minute. Yet targets for the long range guns, the battery commander of which cannot see his target, are often even small er than the targets for the light field guns. These big guns are not used for barrage or curtain of fire work. Thoy are chiefly used for points far beyond the enemy lines, villages, concentration of troops, crossroads, ammunition dumps, en emy fortifications, cave-shelters and especially enemy batteries. The life of the fourteen-Inch rail road gun is only 250 shots, when It has to be dismounted and sent back to the factory to be relined, whi'.o the life of a three-Inch piece or tho French 75, which Is about the same size. Is from 5000 to 6000 shots. It can readily be seen that It Is of the greatest Importance to keep down the wear on the rifling of heavy guns, which it takes years to product. In the present method of firing heavy guns, both the American and the French artillerists take into ac count practically everything that may appreciably affect the gfin, pow der charge, or projectile, In its flight, In calculating the data for aiming and laying the gun. First of all, the position f tIie gun and target must be accuratelv determined. It Is done In the case of tho heavies by topographical methods and maps for maps are Issued by the Intelligence section fresh every morning on which the position of Ccrman batteries are marked. Using th? Jranslt in connection with the most accurate map data available the exact location on the map of each of the guns of a bat tery and of the target are calculat ed. Aiming points and aiming lines, which are used In aiming the gun at tho target, are determined. All this ia done before tho guns are even brought Into position. Jn computing the actual flrin , data, the battery commander, hav Ing gathered all proper Information bus uown wiin pencil and paper, a lamo oi logarunms, and his range table, and works out exactly the amount by which each difforeut con dition,' such as draft, atmospheric density and wind will affect the fall of the shot. The condition of the powder, the exact weight of the pro jectile, the number of times each gun has been fired, and sometimes the curvature of the earth and its ro tation during the flignt of the pro jeetile are considered. These factors might seem Insignl flcant In their effect, yet a change In the wind hns been known to cause as much as K00 meters difference In the fall of a shot nnd a change In powder charge n3 much as COO me ters difference.

I The community packing p'.ants of the Hood River valley have begun Ing my views on several of the points tlie s90""11 r"n at Issue First: One who serves you In the state senato In order to give max mum service must have had service In the house. A place In the senate has always been looked upon as n promotion. My colleagues of last session are each candidates for his old position. If you are satisfied with my services In the house, It is but proper and right that you should express that approval In giving your support to me for the senate Second: X pledge myself to sup port, by voice and vote, the ratlfica tlon of the National Prohibition Amendment. Third: I pledge myself to sun- port all measures . assisting In the winning of the war, or to give aid. comfort or assistance In any manner to the boys fighting our battles, or to their dependants. I believe thnt no sacrifice we can make will ever repay the debt of gratitude this na tlon and humanity owes them. Fourth: The most Important lo cal county issue, at this time, is good roads. Every one favors good roads. The last legislature passed an act outlining a road building program costing approximately flftv million dollars, and appropriated fllx lion dollars to start the work. The people of Oregon, Inter by vote, ap proved this measure. Jackson coun ty had already expended five hundred thousand dollars on, the Pacific Highway In this county, under an understanding that the. other coun ties north would In time, make cor responding expenditures, and a hard Burfacb Pacific Highway constructed The north counties failed to follow our lead, and now the state has, under the law mentioned, assumed complete charge. THIS LAW FAILS TO GIVE US JUST CREDIT FOR THE MONEY WE HAVE EXPEND ED ON. THE PACIFIC HIGHWAY, AND PROVIDES FOR THE EXPEN DITURE, OUT OF OUR COUNTY, OF THE FUNDS RAISED BY TAX ATION IN OUR COUNTY, UNDER ITS PR9VISI0NS. I blleve the one thing JacKson county needs more than any ot'ier Is the construction of lateral roads, leading from the mines, timber, and Isolated farms and the Improvement of existing out lying roads connecting the smaller communities with the great arteries of transportation. With a proper apportionments Iji the new state plan of highway bnildlng', Jackson Coun- hy should have funds to make the building of these laterals possible. I do pledge myself, that this sub ject shall have my main attention and effort, and that I will do my ut most to procure a fair and equitable adjustment of tjje Above matter. Any communication on these or other Issues, will be appreciated and im mediately answered. This letter constitutes my cam paign. I will appreciate your sup- Cora-Pain !
