" ; rvjmji Writing -en route home to the states on board the Great Northern, William Din neen Jr., the son of Mr. and Mrs. Wil liam Dlrinen of 651 Northrup street, tells of the records being made by this 1 fast ship, whlrh ts well known to the west coast people. Dfneen is in the Uhltetl States navy, having enlisted In April. 1917. He is in a hospital 'Corps and has been jn the Great Northern for some months. "This ship is making a good name for herself for her speed and also for the of " fleers and men. New York people treat Ma fine and at the different navy yards they are nice to us. Our captain's wife is a prominent New York woman and Is active in the Navy League work so he '.rranges entertainment for the boys earn time thpy get Into port. This trip I ..hink we will make a record for trans port service. We left New York June 1) and only laid In France one day, then started back for the United States. We expect to be In port by the Fourth of July. Making these fast trips is aw fully hard on the men for they have to work hard on the close watches we keep. Also when In port taking off cargo the rush is hard. "We had the best trip yet going over this timp. We took colored troops and they were Jolly and well behaved there wasn't a dull moment for anybody. They really acted better than most all the boys we have taken over when pass ing through the danger tone. They had a good band with them and they played and sang all the time. Just aday or so out of France we saw a' buoy sticking up which every one took ,for a periscope of a German sub. Our ships took no chances and they lost no time firing at It. There was sure lots of excitement for a few minutes. I saw It myself and was at my gun station with my kit when they started firing. Let me tell you If It had been, a sub it y would have been out of luck. In war they take no chances on mistakes. They signal and If the other ship doesn't sig nal back quick she gets a shot or two ' for luck. This morning' we passed a ship that oked suspicious and she wasn't flying - flag. We signaled and she made no response and they fired two shots across . her bow so quick It would make your head swim. She lost no time putting up the, biggest flag she owned. The' enemy has lots of tricks and It is reported that there is a German raider supposed to be out around these waters. x A little while later we received an 6. O. 8. from a ship not more than 50 miles away that she and two others were, struck by a sub bo gur destroyers left us as soon as we were out of dan ger and went to thetr ad. The ship sunk was a cargo shin as. nearly as we could make out She didn't -have any, soldiers or passengers. . After arriving In New York he writes tinder date of July 12: "I saw Major Mltchel's funeral pro cession yesterday. It certainly was a big affair. There were about 300,000 people It is estimated, lined up on Fifth avenue to see It. You can't imagine the size of the crowds but a man In uniform is pushed right up In the front row ; every time. I caw the airplanes drop flowers as the funeral procession passed. Teddy' Roosevelt and lots of prominent , Nw York men were In evidence. ."Please explain to all the folks that I can't write to everybody. Time is too short. o give them Lest.

Hughson, manager of the builder's ex change, spent his two weeks' period of repair and recuperatlon-not vacation, for vacations are taboo in war times, and "when you send a piece of machinery to the repair shop. It is not a vaca tion,, asserts Mr. Hughson. In company with Martin Barelius, Mr. Hughson left Cazadero on foot two weeks ago Monday, a 60 pound pack on his back, with provisions enough to last the entire trip. "The main purpose -of my trip," Bald Mr. Hughson, "was not only to build up my strenght for the ensuing year, but to prove to others and my own satisfaction that the trip could be easily made, watt close at hand, and is unexcelled in wild beauty. Interested la Trails T am interested in ' trails," said Mr. work in conjunction with the forest ser vice, and the Trails club, of which I am a member, and I wanted to mark out a trip and prove the excellence oT the Clackamas river as one of Oregon's fin est playgrounds, and one so close as to be available to anyone in Portland. "The trails are all well marked, well kept and of . an easy grade. Ranger's station are at convenient points and the forest service telephone is at one s dis posal. With but an ordinary knowledge of woodcraft, there is no danger of going astray. Fish are exceedingly plen tiful, and as for variety in scenery, there are mountain peaks, glaciers, dense forests, lakes, Easter lilies, hot springs in fact, every few moments we came to such a beautiful place for camping we could hardly leave it." Started From Casadero The path taken by the two men ex tended from Caiadero up to the Clacka mas river to the three Links, where they took therh to Austin Hot Springs, then to Limetl Ranger station on the summit of the Cascades. Brelghtenbush lake, the rim rocks surrounding the hanging gardens, from there to Jefferson park, all through Jefferson qark down to the White Waters, over to Brelghtenbush which they reached Saturday night. Fropn Brelghtenbush they Journeyed down the river to Humbifg creek, up the Humbug to Battle Axe mountain, then to the Ranger station at Elk Lake, an elevation of 6000 feet, from there they went to Silver King mountain, Bagby Hot springs, Baty Butte. Miner's Butte. Brown mountain. Cold Springs cabin at !3&fe Cloverleaf lake, one of the 400 lakes in Jefferson'park. the bank was too hot for comfort, while at the same time, my companion a. few rods above was fishing trout so big we had to cut their heads off to get them in a 14 inch frying pan. In 20 minutes he had caught 23 trout." The men, at one time, were within half a mile from a band of wild elk which were in excellent condition. These were not the elk. however, that were taken from the City park. The elk in this country are Increasing rapidly, ac cording to Mr. Hughson, owing to the work of government hunter Ames, who has set about to kill off the varmints which prey upon them. He sets traps throughout the country, and has caught a great number of bear, cougers and other beasts of prey. So few persons enter the country, that during the time Mr. Hughson wu there. not more than J!5 persons In, all were within the 575 square miles of the water shed, according to estimates of the for est rangers. "While the paths and trails are all well marked and well kepfc" said Mr. Hughson. "the region has lost none of Its wild grandeur and never will, for It Is a government. reserve for the, use of the people, if they will but use It. Most of it is inaccessible to motorists, and can be reached only by trails, thus mak ing It not the scene of luxury but the common playground of the hikers." WEEK-END CLIMB OF MT.

I will bet our sanitary Squad has cleaned up and carted away i piles Of rubbish that Caeear and Nappleon StUtribled over. That is one of thie re sults of having-the American aroiy in France. You will read in the home pa pers how the 'Frogs' receive us with j open arms whenever we land m their midst, but it seems to me more as if I with open palms according to the prices they charge for their stuff. I have paid five francs five sou for a dozen of! eggs and four franca for a pound of butter. A franc equals about 20 cents in our com. The above applies mors to the civilian population, ,a the French sol diers have more or less the same kick coming. The people are used to seeing soldiers and are getting hardened to war. At the beginning they couldn't do enough for them, so hyl say. x. OTereoats Are Discarded "Of course after a rain the trenches are muddy and disagreeable, but I soon easily see where a mask is just as im portant as sl rifle. We always carry two, an, English mask and a French one for an emergency. The English mask is more dependable." P IS. From "Somewhere in England" Cor poral H. A Wilson writes to The Jour nal, telling that he has : been five months in the service but has "not as yet seen any real excitement. j "I have haver seen such a beautiful country as fthis as we see it while rid ing through on the train. The country roads can't: be beaten. From the tram way the pretty little lakes and parks, small streams, well kept farms and lines of shade trees with Quatnt old buildings and churches dotting the land scape here and there, all combine to make a beautiful scene. The Ford Oar is as popular here as in America. The climate is much the same, too. "I am living very comfortably, sleep well, eat well, and get good food and plenty of it The British treat us well.

"The hot springs are excellent and have ample facilities for bathing. Four of these hot springs are passed on the trip. Af Austins hot springs I put some dried apricots in the spring to cook, went bathing in the river fed by a hot spring, in which the water near Mount Hood will be the goal of the Mazamas next Saturday and Sunday, August 10 and 11. when they will make the ascent from the sbuth side. Leaving Portland Saturday afternoon by automobile the trip will lead to Gov ernment camp, 53 miles from Portland, where dinner will be served. The hike of four miles to Bivouac camp, at the tlmberline, will be made In the twilight. All will be routed out of their sleeping bags early Sunday morning in order to allow, ample, time-for everyone to. make the summit without haste.
