WATCH THIS SPACE FOR A SURPRISE El Mine Buell Write Home The many friends of Miss Florence Buell. 22 year old daughter ot Mr. and Mrs. George Buell, 123 D street, will be pleased to learn of her pro motion as chief or "head lady" in her branch ot "the chief ot ordnance U. S. A. army, Washington. D. C." At a direct call last spring Miss Buell resigned her position as teach- ler from a country school and hur ried to Washington, where with true western vim and an ambition to win, she has forged steadily ahead until she has attained her present enviable position. Her long letters hotile, picture her busy, active, war time lite. Work hours are from 9 a. m. to S p. m. with a rest period of 15 minutes morning and Evening, out ot doors, noon period from 1 to 1:45. Everything is done in the city to protect the public health, yet on Oc tober 15 there were 44 deaths, with 10,000 cases of Spanish intluenxa in the city. She writes that everything there is "war, liberty loan and Spanish in fluents." In returning from the Red Cross rooms one evening, "I walked by the White House. It was beautiful, but you can't stop and ad mire, or some one will step out from nowhere and politely tell you to 'move on.' " Accepting an invitation to visit a near by military camp, "I watched the boys answer an 'all outside' call and make formations, afterward they formed in groups and sang. They were having a religious meet ing at the 'Y.' Everything was calm but underneath ran a current ot ex citement for they knew they were starting across." The next day the camp was filled with cavalry all "strapping big fellows from the west," and on her return saw a train load of wounded soldiers re turning to the Walter Reed military hospital in Washington. Waiting for a train at Richmond, Vs., she visited the capitol "to see what It looked like." She thinks Oregon has something to be proud of In comparison. She says Virginia is a wonderful country, but cannot compare with Oregon and the west, and finds it amusing to hear people say they have "heard such great stories of the west that after the war la over they are all planning a trip to Chicago and Iowa." The Courier is a most welcome guest each week. She wants all in quirers to know ?ta is not coming home until "after the war." GERMANS STEAL WHOLE FORESTS FROM HELPLESS Amsterdam, Oct. 29.

Lithuania and White Russia have suffered even more, especially the virgin forests of Blalovlcz, which covers an area of 320,000 acres and are estimated to be worth $200,000,000.

The hawk Is a successful fisherman, and were Its task done with the catch ing of a fish its lot would be an en viable one. But a live fish Is not de sirable aa the piece de resistance of a hawk dinner, so the bird that catches one always flies around until the fish is dead. This, we are told, la the In variable practice. Sometimes a fish expires quickly, while at other times a hawk must fly around for hours before it can. return home to the waiting family. There have-been times when the Ash have dis played stamina greater than the birds; This' may explain why hawks seldom pounce on the croaker, most tenacious of life of all flah in the waters round about There Is a well-attested Instance ot a hawk which started to fly around with a croaker it had caught and, after flapping about a whole afternoon and half a night, fell exhausted on the beach. Fishermen who were attract ed by the unusual occurrence found the hawk dead while the croaker, fast In the lifeless talons, had not croaked.

Ql'EKIt SIGHTS ARE SEEN AT EXAMINATION lBIOT Camp Kearny, San Diego, Cal., Oct. 27. Some queer sights are seen here when recruits are given physi cal examination on the occasion of their Induction into the army. Ob viously, complete examination re quires that the men strip, but some of them Interpret thliKJth reserva tlons. v It is nothing to see a 200 pound recruit ambling briskly along the line of medical officers wearing a pair of eye glasses and nothing mors. Recently one man, obedient to the order given him at the en trance of the examination building took off all his clothes but disobeyed the order Insofar as It applied to hose supporters. Another construed a wrist watch as not being "clothes" and wore it and nothing else throughout the examination. One recruit, an Indian, stepped along, showing such elasticity he seemed built of steel springs, while immediately behind him was a fat recruit with knock knees, a picture of. awkwardness. Some of the men look lean and fit, others are gross and overweight. Very often, especially among Cali fornia recruits, men are found with arms and legB tanned a rich brown while the remainder of their bodies are quite fair, due to the protection of their bathing suits.
