I'm.. jl.-t I write of the little that 1 have seen, ulthough'it was just for the final push that I got to the front, We were attached to the 158th Artillery Brigade and the 89th Division, we touk up our first position just out of Romagno on Oct. J2G; til ere wasn't much doing there the first few days except to fire on the roads and ammunition dumps and a few German batter !.. re-i... l.!..

Their air planes were on. the watch and succeeded in bringing down two of our observation balloons. H iu;au p. m. on uct. am we gave them a gas barrage and it was fairly quiet until 3:00 a. m., tyov. 1st, when the big barrage started and with it most of the Germany. As sodu as it was dark that name evening we started to ad 'an eo with the guns ahej trav elled four kilometers over road that haij been torn to pieces by our fire. Ax wo passed through Remoncourt there a few shell? from the enemy's long range guns falling in the town. We took up a posjtion op the crest of a hill but got to fire only a few shots before they were out of our range. Wo had some race forthe next thrco days. We passed through Baricourt on the 2nd and slopped at Nouurt for a few hourt rest on the night of the 3rd. The 5th wo passed Btfau Clair and were in direct observation of the Ger man artillery and they made it pretty warm for us. '"here were stones and timbers flying through the air, but as wo were going as fast as our tractors would travel we were soon out of it. We went into position that night at Beau fort and got a warm reception from Fritz next day as ho seemed to have our rango pretty good, bo we were on the moye again that night. We were under heavy shell fire from Beaufort toLaunsville; tho Germans were still in Btenay which waB only two kilometers from tho road we were traveling. We followed on down tho river eight kilometers from Launsvilio and wont into position, From thero we could sweep the railroad from Stenay to a point that would cover about 15 miles and fire on all tho wagon roads leading from there to Luxemburg. Wo re mained there until Nov. 11th. On Nov. 11th at 11:00 a. m. the 11th F. A. sent a volley of high explosive shells over to Fritz as souvenirs. Cph Jas. C. Makin, Batt. A, 11th Field Artillery, A.

J. Brown at his home in Baker at 3:.15 on Friday afternoon, May - . . oiu. 1 tic funeral was held on Sunday afternoon, many resir dents of Eagle 'Valjey being in attendance. "Pleas," as the deceased was generally called, was born in the state or Iowa sixty-five years ago and came to Oregon with.his par ents in 1804, locating, in Eagle Valley, where he secured his education. He worked as a farm ' . '75 when he assisted in driving a large band of cattle to Nevada, a here he remained fornbquttwo years before returning to Eagle Valley and engaging in thp stock businessj of which ho made a markqd succpss by hfs hqngsty and squarp dealing. On .January J, 1879, he was marrjed tq Miss Zona Younp, a laughter of Mr. and Mrs. Newt Young, the ceremony being per formed in the housp now occu pied by Mr. and Airs. J. W. Car nahan ana family. The. present townsito of New Bridge is loca ted on a part of the homestead whqre Mr. and Mrs. Brown dwelt for many years, ' Mr. Brown was elected, com missioner of Union county in 1892 and was offered the oflice again but declined, he likewise refused to be a candidate for state repre sentative. He served as clerk of the our school board, also as a di rector, for several terms, and al ways manifested great interest in the welfare and improvement of this community. About four years ago he sus tained injuries at u wreck in the stockyards at Baker as a result of which one of his limbs was am putated last spring. In spite of this handicap he continued in business, driving his own car or riding horseback with apparently no inconvenience. Many a Btockman in Eagle Val ley, as well as other parts of the county, owe their success to the assistance and advice given by Pleas." His word was as good as his bopd and he placed great confidence in the word of others. Many transactions, often amount ing to tens of thousands of dol lars, were made by. verbal agree ment only, and he never failed to carry out his part of the contract even though it meant financial loss to him, which was the case many times when buying or sell ing sheep and cattle. He is survived by hie wife, two sons, Koscoe and Sylvester, and three daughters, Mrs. Ellen Law rence, Mrs. June Lew and Miss Zona Brown, all of whom reside in or near Baker and were near him during the last hours. To tho bereaved relatives thero is offered heartfelt sympathy by unnumbered friends throughout the state, but greater than all ia 99999999 9989 99999g9&g99999999999a9S899l New BLACKSMITH SHOP Opposite Saunders Bro's.
