J.H' . 11 LETTERS FROM SOLDIERS Wo are confidenL out readers will find much of interest in these communications and wo shall en deavor to publish others. The Eagle Vi.lloy boys are "making good" in the army and we be lieve that each 6no of them would appreciate frequent letters from their friends in this section. Roy ilodah, whose address is Co. G, 03rd Inf.. Presidio, San Francisco, Calif., recently wrote his father as follows: "I'm not on the Island any more, but on the mainland about a half hour's ride by street cur from the city. Here's where I g:t my llnul training. There' a mighty fine bunch of fellows in this outfit; each company has Its own commanding officer and ours is a prince of a fellow. I'm a re cruit no longer, but a private. Each company hag everything of their own it's nltpjjother differ ent from the way it was at Ft. McDonnell. Our drill instructor is a corKral--he's one of those fellows with the big head." Air. and Mrs. Winter Wright received a letter from their sor. Will, who is in the field artillery at Douglas, ArnwiH. Anions other things he writes: "Well, mother, hojrdttoday Corporal, that is Wetter Xbvn a private. The artillery-is now filled up; wo use cannons, machine guns and pistols. It's sure lot ot tun to snoot, the cannons; we practice shooting every day and i am trying lo he an expert gun ner -they got 6 more per month. When I get my picture taken with one of the big guns I will send you one. - They lake the very beat care of us here, if any thing is wrong with you they take you to the hospital. My blood was tested, found pure, and 1 was pronounced an able-bodio 1 man in every par ticular. If a follow tries to do right they are good to you, but if he don't they are not. Tl rco boys from the tent next to Gate M.akin and I, tried to desert ono night recently; they were captured in a little town in Mexico and brought back, and I suppose will get eight years in prison. I nm going to bohavo myself but when they let mo off I sure am coming homo and will perhaps bring a Mrs. Wright with mo. I hear we may go to New York within six months, but don't think our company will over have to go to Franco. Clarence Bradford and Roberts are still at Vancouver, they belong to the infantry and will go to American Lake." Carl A. Barrows, of Battery F, 11th Fiold Artillery, Douglas, Arizona, in a letter to n lady friend in. Richland, writes: "I was promoted to Corporal a few days ago it camo as u sur prise to mo. Had been in service just a Inonth; was sworn in on June 1.3th nnd promoted on Fri day the 13th of July. Do you got that "13th"? Wo are training every day; . learning to ride. . Tomorrow wc have the 'monkey drill;' mount ion the trot, gallup"and run, turn on the horso, etc. If a man ever tells you a follow, doesn't have anything to do in the army, es pecially in the artillery, just mark it down that he never served in time of war. Just to give you an idea w.bat a great task the officers of iheU. Army have before .them I will tell you that in F Battery we have almost 200-men and about 150 horses. About half of the man never rode a horse, some had hardly ever seen one, and a great many can scarcely speak English. More than half the on-commissioned officers are recruits like myself. The hbrso,are not train ed, most of them ,aje work horses and a groat number are unhroke. i I thought I was coming to a hot country, but guess it's noi worse tnan - nacic mere, iou should have, some of the rains we have. It rains and up fooling about it -it simply pours. This ii the rainy season, they say it gets hot and dry in August and September. y . Thei care none "of the other homo bovs in my. battery. Clate aiiiiin .la-lluiio and' Will Wright are all in A Battery, ana Gene Gibson is in B Battery." Be SteadyBut It's alright to be steady, but if you are too steady you'll be stand ing still. It pays to circulate a little you have to keep a-moving. Also it is a pretty good plan to keep your money moving keep it ih circulation. If a merchant buys u lot of goods and just puts them on the shelf and loaves them therp ho won't make much. It's the goods that move that bring the profits. Your money is the same way. Make it move. Keep it turning. Put it in the bank where it cnncarn you something and keep it turning, ad) Eagle Valley State Bank A Close Call. Arch Cox.is wearing a small scar under his right eye as a re minder of a miraculous escape from serious injury and possibly death. When on his way to Rob inotte last Thursday he camo up on Wm. Lloyd of Halfway on the gradojit the east end of Chas. llarvlll's ranch, both cars were going at the Richland speed limit and a collision seemed the onlv thing possible. Archie tried to bank his car, but the hill was so steep that it started backward and run down the incline to the bottom, injuring nothing but one wheel, His scar is the result of Btriking his face on the steering wheel. When ono looks at the place where the car wontdown.a grade of over 70 per cent, it seems almost unbelleveablo that the result was not more disastr ous, 1 , 1 COOPER'S Auto Service Frqd Cooper, Prop., Halfway, Oregon, Daily Passenger and Freight Service to and between Baker, Sparta, New Bridge, Richland Pine, Halfway, Carson, Cornucopia Studebaker and Cadillac cars for through service, Ford care for short trips; None but careful, experienced drivers are employed; prompt service ana courteous treatment insured and our ratos are lowest consistent with reliable service.

All orders given immediate attention It Might Have Been the Truth The editor of a certain paper was out of town, the edition was late and an apprentice, was going through his first experience of "making up" forms. The last part of an obituary had been dumped in a column and the next handful of type was picked from p.nlley describing a recent fire, 'lhe article appeared in the paper lice this: "The pailbearers lowered the body. into tha gravji ajiid.asjt.was there were lew, if any, refcrfts ts the flames devoured it, foi the old wreck had been an eyesore to the town for years. Qf course tliere was individual loss, but that was coverea oy insurance. . j It is said the widow and other surviving relatives think the edi tor wrote the obituary that way because the deceased was not a subscriber to the paper.
