Dear Folks:
I hovo got as far ns England
already and expect to tfot to
! ranee before the war ia over,
Don't know how long we will bo
hero but probably not long, I
would liko to toll y6u all about
the transport and our trip across
biit maybe I will have more time
to do so later. I wus fortunato
enough not to got ono bit seasick;
had fino weather all Ufa way.
1 am tfuro in love with England
already and think I will Ijko it
hotter after 1 got accustomed to
tlw ways of the English people.
'Everything Is so old and so much
different from anvthiwr at home.
Farms" arc all small, with no wi'ro
fences and hardly any of board,
all hedge and stone. It is so
thickly copulated I don't sec how
so many people mnko a living,
It seems like thcro is more land
covered by towns than is farmed;
you just get out of the suburbs of
ono towh right into another one,
and somo of the quaintest old
towns with houses hundreds of
years old.
I haven't saw Alfred Barber
slnco wo fanded so don't know
whether jic is in this camp or not.
Saw Clate Makin and Gene GVo-
son the night wo IcfbCamn Mills,
They are the only ones I've neon
that I knew except the boys that
are with Alfred.
1 got somp money changed into
English money a while ago but 1
haven't learned to count it yet, so
when I buy anything I just give
them a handful and let them take
what they wajitof it. We can buy
only a certain amount of anything
and it seems like a small amount
but 1 guess we'll soon get used ta

praying the ship wouldn't sink,
but tho Yanks were all tho time

RICHLAND, OREGON, THURSDAY,

,T'Ho following letter was com
menced when tho writer was in
tho training detachment at, tho
Benson Polytechnic School at
Portland, and finished after being
transferred to Camp Lewis.
August 8th, 1918.
Dear Friend: Captain (Roos,
our commanding officer, got tho
orders for our leaving the Gth.
Gol'y, wn never know how many
good quartettes we had here till
we got our orders to leave; it sure
stirred us up. 1 don't think we
will lie "going ovqr" for a while,
because we turned in our blank--
eta and bed sacks.
Wo certainly jiave some fine
officers here, and' wo all rather
hate to leave bufcstill we are glad
J-becaiiBo wo are anxious for sonic-
thing new. We are throwing in
and will get each Lieutenant and
the Captain a "pair of puttees. I
think that is fine for they have
given us every privilege they
possibly cpuldi . Today is Thurs
day and we aro oil pass till 10:00
p. m. today since G p. m. yester
day. We have &ur class cards which
we take with us wherever we go.
I was classed as a-journey man in
carpentry and got next best grade
in my class; a manlwith jiev.cn
years experience -got- theTbest
gril le. I've made ii lot of good
friends here. There is a lot of
good sports among the "wood
butchers" who will be with me il .
everything goes as they think.
We went on a 12-milo hike
about a weekago and sure had a
lino time. But we almost tost a
man; ho was swimming and gave
out, went down and was under
for two minutes (no, he isn't
there yet) ; a little fellow weigh
ing about 115 pounds dived and
brought him up. A boat was se
cured and (although all in the
thing rushed to 013c end and near
ly upset it) they finally got him
to shore where the school doctor
brought him to. Tho Captain
gave those who helped save him
a special recomendation On their
cards as "excellent private, "etc.
The drowning fellow weighed
about 200 pounds so the little
fellow who brought him up sure
deserved something.
This is a fine school; I wish 1
could stay hero till I knew more.
Our instructors are practical men
and sure don't spond much time
on theory Our oats are1 good
enough for anyone.

Fort IK. A. Russell, Wyoming.

Dear Editor:
Knowing that my friends in
Eagle Valley would like to know
where I am located, I ask you to
publish this letter.
I was at Fort Lawton, Wash.,
but was transferred here a short
time ago. This Is a nice place
and the weather is about like that
of Eagle Valley only that it rains
here two or three times a week.
This Fort is about the size of
Richland; all the houses are of
brick, all of same size and look
alike, sd it is kind of hard to find
the right ono until you get used
to the place.
A bunch left here yesterday
for France. I will bo in the next
bunch that go from here pro
viding we are not sent to some
other camp.
Anyone desiring to write me
should address,

Watch for Date to Register
The registration of all men from,
18 to 20, and from 32 to 45; inclu
sive, will be the most difficult; -feat
of its kind ever attempted
by any nation, for it is estimated
that close to 13,)00,000 men will
be registered irt one day next.
month, the date as yet undeter
mined. Even ignorance of the day for
registration will not be accepted
as an excuse for failure to regis
ter, so it is imperative that a.
close watch be kept for announce
ment of the exact date.
I Announcement
Having complutely, reno
vated my old place "of .busi
ness and put in a now, fresh
stock of goods, I am ready to
furnish tho public, with tho
bestof ico c renin, soft drinks,'
candy, lunch goods, 'oigars,

I will appreciate thop.atrou

munity, assuring to nil a
