"With tho beginning ot summer Bond is to havo another moving plc turo house, with tho added featuro of n four or flvo net vaudeville bill twice weekly. Tho announcement was mado by Al. Davis, traveling salesman, whoso headquarters wero formerly In Dond, nnd who now In tends to locato permanently In this city within tho next few weeks. Mr. Davis stated that tho Hippo drome has been turned over to htm by Q. W. Shrlnor, and ho has already secured necessary fittings, including COO upholstered opora chairs, a. double curtain nnd two machines for tho roovto end ot the venture. Ho has mado arrangements for vaudo vlllo bills on Saturday and Sunday nights, nnd for a high class film service. Remodeling of tho hall will begin as soon as tho agreement with tho Union club for the use of tho build ing has terminated, namely, about the first of June. Air. Davis, how ever, does not intend to deprivo tho pooplo ot Dond ot their popular danc ing place, and will havo the seats arranged In such a manner an to bo easily removed to allow for Wednes day night dancing parties.

And It stnyed there until I reached Dulmen and had a chnnee to light It behind the barrack. If any of the other men had smollcd real tobacco, they would probably have murdered me, and.

Forbes, sec retary of tho homo service depart ment ot tho Red Cross, will be in her office in the Dend Co. building on Saturdays until 6 o'clock and from 7 to 9:30 o'clock in tho evening. Mrs. Forbes has received the neces sary application blanks which pre vious sorvlco men may fill out. All seeking advice on this subject aro requested to bring their discharge papers with them. HOMING PIGEONS TO AID FIRE FIGHTERS (From Friday's Dally.) Carrier pigeons as fire fighters will mako their advent on the Deschutes national forest during the coming season, It was announced today at national forest headquarters here. A number of homing pigeons are be ing brought to Dend from Portland by William Sproat, a member of tho supervisor's office force, and will bo used this summer In transmitting messages from firo fighting parties to Dend. In somo of tho moro widespread conflagrations it frequently happens that communication with the homo offlco by telephone is cut off, and because of this each detail ot fire fighters will tako a pigeon with them on leaving for tho timber. The high rato of speed at which tho birds fly will mako It possible to send mes sages by air with very little loss ot time. for three weeks, they drilled us out ot tho camp to a railway station, nnd stood us In the snow for four hours waiting for tho train. We wero ex hausted nnd began falling, one by one, and each time one ot us fell, the Gentries would yell, "Nlcht krankl" nnd give us the rlflo butt. We had our choice of standing up and dying or falling down nnd being killed, nnd It was n fine choice to have to make. The cars finally pulled In, and as usual, the windows were smashed, the doors open, nnd the compartments Just packed with 6now. When we saw this, wo knew we were going to get worse treatment, even, than we had been getting, nnd many of us wnnted to die. It had not been unusual for some of the men to tell the Germans to shoot them too, nnd It seems as though It was always a man who wanted to live who did get it nnd went west. ITowcver, nil of us nearly got killed when we reached Wittenberg. When the train stopped there, we saw a big wngonlond of sliced bread on the sta tion platform and we all stared at It. We stood It as long as we could, nnd then we made n rush for It. But when we got nearer, we saw that there were four sentries guarding It nnd four women Issuing It out to the German soldiers. They would not give us any, of course. So we stood 'around and watched tho Iluns eat it, whllo they and the women laughed nt us, nnd pretended thnt they were starving and would groan nnd rub their stomachs and say, "Stents zu cssen," to each other, nnd then grab a big hunk of bread and cat It. What we did not say to them was very little Indeed. Wo were cer tainly wild If any men ever were. Then some of us said wc were go ing to get some of that bread if we went west for It. So we started n fight, nnd while they were attending to some of us, the others grabbed and hid all the bread they could. They rousted us back Into the cars and we were Just starting to divide up the bread when they caught us with it and took It nwoy. We were wilder than ever then, but we could not do anything. It got colder after we left Witten berg, and the snow blew Into the cars through the windows and doors until we were afraid to sleep for fear of freezing. It was the worst night I have ever seen, nnd the coal bunkers on the Yarrowdale seemed like n pal ace com par (Ml to the compartments, because we could at least move around in the ship, while In the train we could not move nt nil, and were packed so lleve me when I say that I enjoyed It. There was not much to It, but I smoked It until there was not enough left to hold In my mouth, nnd then I used whnt was left nnd mixed It with the bark thnt we mado cigarettes out of. Incidentally, this bark was great stuff. I do not know what kind ot tree it was from, hut It served tho purpose. Whenever n fellow wanted to smoke und lit ono of these bnrk cigarettes, a few puffs were enough. " The First and Lait Cigarette. no did not want to smoke ngnln for somo time afterward, and like us not, he did not want to eat either. They wero therefore very valuable. It is very hard to get matches In the camps, and when any prisoner does get hold of one, It Is mado to last n long time. Here Is how wc mako a match last. Some ono gives up the sleeve ot his coat, and the match Is carefully lit, and tho cont sleeve burned to a crisp. Then we tako a button from our coats tho buttons are brass with two holes In them pass n shoestring through the holes, knot tho ends, und with the button In the center of the string. "buzz It nround as you have seen boys do, with the string over both hands, moving the hands together and apart until tho button revolves very' fast. Wo then put a piece of flint against the crisped cloth, und buzz the button neulnst It until n Mnnrlf innkixi llui dose that we could not even stretch crlsn gow nn(1 from ,, wo wou(1 SPRING CLEANING TIME IS IIERK.

Wo thought that night would never end, but day came finally, and though it seemed to get colder and colder, we did not mind it so much. At about eleven that morning, we arrived at a pin co called Mlnden and saw n prison camp there Just a stockade near tho tracks with the boys out in the open. Wc. waved to them, nnd they wuved b'nek nnd gnvo a cheer-oft or two. Wo felt sorry for them, because wo knew we were not going to that camp, and from what little we saw, we knew wo could not be going to a worse place than they were in. I shall never for get Mlnden, becnuso It was hero that I received tho only cigarette I had while I was in Germany. Mlnden is quite a railway center, I guess, nnd when we pulled into tho depot, we saw many troops going to the front or coming back. As at all importnnt German railway stations, there was a Red Cross booth on the platform, with German girls handing out barley coffee and other things to the German soldiers. I saw a largo shanty on tho platform, with a Red Cross painted over the door. I saw the girls giving barley coffee to tho soldiers, and I thoucbt I would bavo light our bark clgarcttcii. I do not think any man In tho world could In hale ono of theso bnrk cigarette: some of us tried und weut right to sleep. CHAPTER XXI. A Visit From Mr. Gerard. Lato that night we arrived at Dul men, Westphalia. We were rousted out of tho carriages, mustered on tho platform, counted, then drilled through tho streets. In fcplto of tho lateness, tho streets wero pretty well filled with people, and they zlg-zagged iih through all tho streets they could, so that all the pcoplo would havo a chunco to see tho crazy men, as they called us. Most of tho peoplo wero women, und as soon as they Baw us coming, they begun singing tho "Watch on tho Rhino" or somo other German song, and It wus funny to sco windows opening nnd fut frnus, with nlght-cnps on, sticking their heads out of tho windows. Thoy would glvo us a quick once-over, and pipe up llko a boatswain: "Schweln hund Vntcrland Wacht nra Rheln" all kinds of things and all mixed up. So wo gavo them "Tlpperary" and "Pack Up Your Troubles," und showed them how to sing. Our guards bad no car for music and tried to stop us, but though they knocked several men down, wo did not sjop until wo BRICK vs. OTHER BUILDINGS BRICK BUILDINGS IN BEND VALUE ABOUT $500,000 FIRE LOSS IN FIVE YEARS NONE OTHER BUILDINGS VALUE ABOUT $2,000,000 FIRE LOSS IN FIVE YEARS OVER $100,000 L SrVoST BEND BRICK & LUMBER CO. Iinil llulshrit the Hong. Then, iifler wo hnd admitted to each oilier that wo wero not downhearted, wu shut up. Wo would havo douo ho, anyway, be cnuso by this tlmo wo wore on tho out skirts of tho town, and we needed nil tho breath wo luiil. The ruml wo were on was Just one long shoot of Ice, nnd wo could hardly walk more than four steps without slipping und falling. My shoes had wooden soles, and It wiim Just ouo bang after another, with tho Ice and myself trying to see which could hit tho hardest. Kvory tlmo wo foil smash I cnnio a rlllo over tho back. I was getting pretty tired, so I said to somo of tho fellows that 1 was go ing to sit down and rest, and they said they would also. So wo dropped out and waited until the gunrdH behind had Just about caught up with us, and then wo would go on. Wo did this several times until they got on to us, und wo could not do It any more. Up tho road a pleco I fell again, and this time I did not enro what hap pened, so I Just sat there In the middle of the road until Fritz camo up. Instead of giving mo tho bayonet, ho mado mo tnke oit my shoes that is, he took them off of mo with a knlfo through tho strings and I had to walk tho rest of tho way In my bare feot. It was about four miles altogether from the station to tho camp. When wo got near tho camp, nil tho boys came tint of tho barracks nnd lined up along the barbed wire, and yelled ub a welcome. Wo asked them If they were downhearted, and they said no, and we said wo wero not eith er. Wo could hardly seo them, but they began yelling again when wo got nearer, and asked in. "Is there anyono there from Queenstown?" and then Hull, nnd Portsmouth, and Dover, nnd Toronto and n lot of other places. I did not pay much attention until I heard, "Any Americans there?" and I jelled back, "Yes, where nro you?" "Rnrracks 0-R, flruppe :i." "Where from?" I yelled. "Roston. Whi-re'ro yon from?" "The U. S. A. and Atlantic porl. See you later." So. the next morning, I went over to his barracks and asked for tho Yntil;. They pointed him out to me, where ho was lying on tho floor. I went over and laid down with him, nnd wo had qulto a talk. I will not give his name hero for certain reasons. He hnd received several wounds nt the time ho was tnken prisoner. Ho hnd been in the Canadian service for two years. Wo used to talk about Now York and Roston nnd tho differ ent places we knew In both towns, nnd wo nlso talked n lot about the rotten treatment we were receiving, nnd tried to cook up some plnn of escape. Rut every one we could think of had been used by some one else, nnd either bad fulled, or the Huns had fixed It so tho plan could not bo tried again. Wo doped out some pretty wild schemes at that. Altogether, wo became great pals, and wero together as much as possible at Dulmen. Tho day I left tho camp, he gnvo mo n ring mado from n shell, and told me to get It safely back to the States, but some ono stolo It at Ilrnndenhurg. . . Ono day while T was In his barracks an Englishman stepped out of tho door for some reason or other, and though ho did not soy a word to Fritz, In two minutes he was dead, In cold blood. Wo never knew why they killed him. At Swlnemundo and Neustrclltz, I must ndmtt that the Germans had us pretty badly buffaloed, but nt Dulmen tho prisoners wero entirely different. Dulmen was tho receiving camp for tho whole western front, and tho pris oners there got to bo pretty tough eggs, ns far ns Fritz wns concerned, before they had been In camp many days. They thought nothing of pick ing n fight with u sentry nnd giving him n good battle, even though ho was armed with rlllo and bayonet. Wo soon learned thnt unless his pals nro around a German will not stand by his arguments with his fists. In other words, If ho can outtalk you, ho will beat you up, hut If ho cannot, It is n enso of "Hero comes Helnlo going back." Tho Russian prisoners nt Dulmen wero certainly n miserable looking bunch. They spent most of their tlmo wondering uround tho Russian bar racks, hunting for rotten potato peel ings and other garhuge, which they would eat. When they saw Fritz throw nut his swill, they would dlvo right through tho barbed wlro ono after another, and their hands nnd fnco and clothes wero always torn from It. It was unhealthy to stand between tho Russlnns und their garb age prey they wero so speedy that nothing stopped them. One morning, Just nfter burlcy-cof-feo time, I camo nut of tho barracks nnd saw an Australian arguing with tho sentry. I was not only curious, but anxious to bo a good citizen, ns thoy say, so I went up and slung an car nt them. Tho Australian had asked Fritz what hnd been dono with tho flag that tho Huns wero going to fly from tho Eiffel tower in Paris. That was too deep for Fritz, so tho Australlaiunnswcrcd It himself, "Don't you know, Fritz? Well, wo havo no blankets, you know," Still tho sentry did not got It. So tho Australian carefully explained to mo so that Fritz could hear that tho Germans had no blankets nnd wero using tho flag to wrap their cold feet In. This started a fight, of course tho German Idea of it light, that is. Tho nentry, being u very bravo man for it German, blew his whistle very loudly, and sentries camo from nil directions. So wo beat it to tho Australian's bar racks, and thoro I found tho second Amlcon In tho camp. Ho was a bar ber named Stlmsnn, from ono of tho Western states. Ho had heard I was W BROUGHT FOR HATCHERY MANY HARDSHIPS ENDURED IN WEAUV 1U-DAV TIMI' FROM elk lake i:;u collect-okm LIVE ON MEAN DIET. ROD AND UN CLUB FAVORED (From Thursday'ii Dnlly.)
