PREPARING 10 GO 10 SEA! OF W Fort Stevens Boys Have Good Food, Are Well Quartered and Equipped My Mrs. J. C, DIMM. This letter is a continuation of tho latter published In the last Issue ot the News. On Sunday when I returned to tho fort from Astoria where I stayed over night, I learned that one of the boj-8, a corporal In Battery C, for whom I had done somo mending on Saturday afternoon had been married that same evening in Astoria. Tho event 'was Quite a surprise to tho rest ot the boys, of. course. The new cantonments are two stor ies high, each floor accommodating about 40 boys. The buildings are wpll heated, lighted and ventlllated, and are fitted with iron cots, with good springs, mattresses and pillows. The boys have niado themselves cupboards and lockers In which to keep their personal belongings. Many of them have hanging on the wall fine com fort kits which have been provided the ttmo they came out of tho third ono they woro clean. Then off to their quarters they went, got their toatowols and wiped their dishes and put them away. If the mothers at home could 'see how cheerfully their boys wash their dishes In the Army camps they would decide that "Undo Sam" had adopted n better and easier way to get his dishes washed than I tho home folks have. Xot all the boys washed their dish es In the same way. I noticed ono company's quarters, 1 think It was the old third, had n largo tank tilled "with" hot water from which pipes run to a 'large sink. Faucets woro at tached and the hoys washed their dishes at the faucets. This tank also was. ou t doors undor large fir trees. I I was very much gratified to hear 1 from all the boys of Battery C, with 1 whom I tnlked, expressions of love ; and respect for their officers. Their I captain Is a new man on the coast. He Is Captain Howard from Mississ ippi, and was commissioned from an officers' trnning school in the Kast. j He Is very much liked and has won the confidence and respect of all the men in the battery. Most of my time at the fort was spent with Battery C, although I visit ed some of tlio Eugene and Springfield boys who are in quarters In other parts of the fort. The Y. M. C.

The building was opened on 65th Artillery who did not have sweat-1 65th Artillery there being a light qunr entlne on all the fort and the boys in one cantonment were not allowed to do much if any, visiting at other can tonments. Not-withstanding the reasons for the boys being at the fort and' the preparations which I saw being con- ers given thera by friends were given one by the Red Cross. The Red Cross has given two pairs of woolen socks to each of the 65th Artillery. I heard words of gratitude and ap preciation expressed by all the boys towards the Red Cross and the work that that organization is doing for their comfort and care. The boys say they gladly and willingly go to tight for their country and homo and HIGH SCHOOL NOTES BY DOIUUS SIKHS Friday nftornoou a program, In hon or of tho birthdays' ot Lincoln and Washington, was given by tho Nekn hnlan Literary society, In tho High school auditorium. At one o'clock school was called to order and Miss Llndsey read tho last issue of tho "Soldier's Joy." Next camo a selec tion by tho faculty, and a number of songs In which tho entire school took part. Tho mooting Was turned over to tho president ot tho society, Lynn U randy.

Parkinson Chaplain V. of O. military company Song, "Stars and Stripes Forever," .... School Rovorend Parkinson chose as his subject "Tho American Boy." This American boy he said was very Inde pendent, he was smart, and ho had somo right ot his own. Ho showed that It Is not thnt you are born an American that counts but that it is the American Spirit, that splr't ot freedom, bravery, and courngo that makes the American boy. Reverend Parkinson craphnstzed tho Importance of making tho best uso of what wo have. As an example of tills ho cited our Abraham Lincoln as ho sat by tho fireplace at night and studied with his limited supply ot books and with only the light from the tiro In tho big fireplace to aid him.
