Every Day is Busy in Camp
Says B. A. Stover in Letter
Although life at the officers' train
ing camp at the Presidio would sat
isfy the most ardent disciple of stren
uousness, B. A. (Dutch) Stover, of
Bend, who Is specializing in' the light
artillery service, Is actually getting
fat since his training began. In a
letter received here by A. M. Prlngle,
Mr. Stover gives a graphic picture of
the life ot America's army officers In
the making. He writes as follows:
"Have thought of writing you
many times, but it's a hard Job to
find the necessary minutes tor letter
writing. This thing of getting up at
6:30 a. m. every day, going at top
speed until 5:15 p. 'in., with time oft
to eat three meals a day, and a tlve
mlnute rest each hour, then study
ing from 7:15 to 9:15, and being
In your bunk at 9:30 some change
from the old life, eh?
"Am getting to like It better right
along, especially since I was selected
as one of 26 from our company to
take special drill from a major who
is master ot sword and bayonet at
West Point. We are to get Just two
weeks from him, after which we will
take turns drilling our company.
About 25 men with athletic records
In each company are getting this
work from him, and he handles the
bunch like a wizard.

to see one another over Saturday
and Sunday. He is getting to like
the work Immensely, he says, and
looks forward to the next day's work
with an altogether different feeling
from that which he had at first. Wo
had the same work in our battery
that the infantry had. at first, and
I wouldn't trade on a bet. The light
artillery Is the real branch. In my
estimation.
"You should have seen our battery
this afternoon. Some of them had
sever been on a horse but they had
to do sideward and backward bends
while going on a trot. We are
learning the French way of riding,
and have to do alii these bends and
turns with feet out of the stirrups,
to strengthen the legs. Then ono
fellow rides this way with another
leading his horse? The horses are
supposed to be broken, but we have
had some real rough riding today,
with several thrown riders.
"We got a new commander tho
first ot the week, who is the real
thing. He Is a West Pointer, with
army experience, just a young fellow,
but one who knows how to handle
men. All of the fellows would do
anything for him already.

how you would enjoy It all. Tbe
funny part of It Is, I'm thriving on all
