September SO, 1918 Dear Folks: Was called to the office today on the allotment business and found you have investigated the reason for my allotment not getting to you. Let me know as soon as you receive any money or get a notice of my In surance policy, tor I would like to get it straightened out tout suite. We have been in this camp tor three nights now, but don't know how much longer. We are housed in a good barracks with bunks to sleep in. We have been working In a quarry and on the roads, but it takes an hour and a half to get there by truck. Some of the boys went up to the front tonight to patch a road. I was to go but they had enough without the smallest squad, There is absolutely nothing sweet o be bought here. No candy, cook es, or that sort of thing, and I get hungry for them, perhaps more than the boys who smoke. Mad a good, long talk with Tom Ostien, one of the boys who was on our party last summer, the other day. We were pretty busy every minute of two hours, and he express ed his desire to get into our regi ment but don't suppose he will try it. Sure would like to have him with me, for he is the one who went to Pendleton (round up) with me last fall. Am enclosing No. 2 of the High wayman for your approval. Hope you get all of them and keep them so I will have them when I return. Give my regards to all the people who may enquire. With love to all, WALLACE day but nothing of Importance lu it. Had a letter from the secretary ot the North West Society of High way Engineers informing me of my election to the society. The photos you have sent are sure tine and I have enjoyed them. Met one of the boys I worked with a year ago, yesterday, and had a wonderful talk with him. Being on the move a great deal It Is hard to get mall out, but will get it out as often as possible, you can bet. Have slept in all manner of places in the last two months. One night we are warm and the next night cold or wet, but I am just as fat and happy as possible "over here." Am enclosing the first copy of The Highwayman, the official paper of the 23rd, will mail the rest when I get them, so hang onto them until I get back. This is Just a hurried note and wilr write more when I have time. Lots of love, WALLACE September 16, 1918 Dear Folks: Received you letters of July 15th and the 22nd today. The first since August 14th. I figure I am about a month behind my correspondence. I wrote you on the 10th, but have had no time to mail the letter, because we have been on the move all the while, but on trucks Instead of hik ing it. We are still on the move and hovering for a place to light for the winter. ; - We have been working at various jobs off and on when ever we have topped long enough. . Had an Enterprise to look at to- Dana Ameut Says It's Work Co. A 23rd Engineers, A. E. F. France, About Oct 2, Dear Folks: I have sort of lost track of time and dates in the past few weeks. With work as rushing as it is and my hours of rest so split up and the never ending excitement of the "wind up," as we all hope and pray that it Is, I have neglected my duty to you at home. However I am still alive and kicking and expect to be tor some time to come. I've seen some mighty Interesting things hap pen over here in the last two months and I can fully realize now - what Sherman meant when he gave his description of war. For my own part and that of my company, I will say that we have been particularly blessed In good fortune. While we have undergone many more hard ships than the men in the interior of France, still we have not had to un dergo the supreme hardship of the man in the front lines. All the hon or and glory and praise that can be heaped on the Ipfantry boys will not be too much. We have bad the pleasure of being of real aid to them In making pass able and maintaining shell and mine torn roads, so that the boys could have the necessary artillery support and rations. The magnitude of oper atlons behind the lines in this mo dern warfare is something not easily imaginable, and the tremendous wear and tear on roads is something I never realized before. I had come to think that Uncle Sam had pos sibly made a mistake in creating this road regiment, but our work up to this time served us as a good train ing and now we are at the point where our own company of engineers superintends the work of many com panies of negroes and white labor troops. This we have been doing, and with good results, I am glad to say. ' I have been watching every new outfit we run into for some of my old time friends but never in my army life have I seen one I knew at home, with the exception of Wallace Coutant. A western division Is near us now, and it may be that I will see more of the boys yet. Well I must close and shave up and get into some warmer clothes for my night's work. Love to all.

BREAKING ALL RECORDS Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis, Oct. 30. Oregon has again gone over the top. The Oregons entered by Prof. James Dryden of the College in the International egg laying contest at Storrs, Conn., have broken a record. No pen in the last five years has laid as many eggs in 52 weeks as have the Oregons In 50 weeks. The record for these birds Is 2,278 eggs for the 50 weeks. The record for a year, 2,265 eggs, was held by Obld G. Wright. The Oregons have laid an average of 227.8 ' eggs in 50 weeks. Professor Dryden's birds, to make a long story short, have beaten 500 pens of 6,000 hens representing the best layers In the United States and foreign countries. They are now 171 eggs ahead of the second pen and have cinched the contest which will close the end of the month. GREAT ARMY OVERSEAS Latest reports state that the Y. M. C. A. has more than 6,000 war workerg overseas. They are operat ing in England, France. Italy. Rus sia, Africa, China, Egypt, India and with the Portuguese Expeditionary forces. up a monopoly of fishing in a river held by MaoCleay, if the fish of Rogue river were created tor the sole exploitation by a wealthy cor poration, we, the people residing along the stream should like to know it, as there are still people liv ing that are foolish enough to think the common people who have built homes aud schools and roads along the Rogue river In Jackson, Jose phine and Curry counties, should be at least accorded the same rights as Mr. MacCleay, which they would have If this bill he seeks to defeat should become a law. Mr. Hume who owned the property at the mouth of Rogue river and built up the fisheries now owned by Mac Cleay, I am creditably informed, never took more than 10,000 cases In any one year. Instead of trying to deplete the river of its fish he tried to perpetuate them by main taining hatcheries. What is the con dition at this time during the years of 1915, 1916, 1917 and 1918, if reports are true, and I have every reason to believe that they are, there has been packed at the 'mouth of the river more than 35,000 cases per year for the years mentioned, and in proportion of 30,000 cases for Mac Cleay to 5,000 cases toy all others, this unjust proportion being the re sult ot hlg being able to monopolize all set nets and seines on account of awning both banks of the river ror 12 miles. To maintain this monopoly for MacCleay the board of 01 rectors of the Portland Chamber of Commerce asks the people to defeat the bill passed by the legislature In 1917, that gives the MacCleay's the same rights as other people and all the rights lie Is justly entitled to have and would prevent the extermination of the fishing Industry, as is rapid ly being done at the present time. The board of directors of the Port land Chamber of Commerce If they know these facts when they passed those resolutions must be very brave and honest men. J. C. SMITH.
