Mrs. Delia Hallock sends us the following interesting letter, rececived just received from her son, Sidney Hiillock, who is now in the service of Uncle Sam. The letter covers a trip from Honolulu to the Philippine I Islands, where Sid is now and where he may be stationed for some time. The many friends of Young Hallock in Heppner, his native city, will be glad to bear from him. Aboard IT. S. A. T. Logan Honolulu to Guam, May 17, 1918. Dear Jlother:- I'll just write my impressions of Honolulu while I have them in mind. I wrote the whole thing on shore j though so probably won't be able ! to add much. At my first view of the city I was somewhat disappointed because I ex pected to see a much larger town. All we could see was a few large j buildings around the docks, and trees at the back of them, But as we went into the city wa found there were houses undernei.-ti those tress. Well, the first thing we had to do, naturally, was to eat. So I looked on the bill of fare and among other things I saw turtle steak. So I or dered the same and found it verv palatable. It tasted more like veal than anything I have eaten. Also ate some fried bananas. Bananas are cheap here, you can get them for ten cents a dozen, and eocoanuts are ten cents each. There is a kind of a melon they grow on the Hawaiian Islands called the papaai, or something of the sort and they look like very large cucumbers and the meat is red like a pumpkin. I dont like the taste of them. There are all kinds of trees and shrubs, very few that I had ever seen before. They have good car lines and good service, the cars being all open. After I wrote you my last letter some of us went up to a hill they call the Punch Bowl. It is lava formation and we had a fine view of the city. It is very pretty and no fooling. We also went out to Waikikl and went in swimming. The water is warm, actually I never imagined the sea water could be so warm. You know at home, no matter how hot the day, the water will nearly always freeze the dickens out of you but such is not the case here. I also went on one of those surf boats you read about and had more fun than a little floating out there and then taking the breakers feet' first. It Is a long shallow beach but it had coral bottom and hurts your feet when you stand up. However, Honolulu is not what is before the war. The Government is discouraging too much festivity. The town is dry and everything im moral is closed. The streets are very clean and you don't see a heap of rubbish anywhere. There are cans along the streets to throw the rubbish into. I tried to find a dance but there was no dance going on that night, and some of the boys were rather disgusted the next morn ing because they were unable to find any girls. I met a fellow sailor who had been stationed there for three or four months and he was plumb disgusted with the place, He admitted that the scenery was great but said you could see it all in a week, and there wasn't any thing else but scenery there. It was. funny, but anywhere you went around the town, you saw some of the transport bunch. I only wish you could see some of the stuff I am seeing. We are all in whites now. It i, so hot that you can't wear anythiiiR else and feel decent. It is nuite a job to get your whites clean with salt water but I would rather wash than roast, so I wash. I am sleeping on the deck now all the time, and have found a good place to swim; my hammock, but even outside it i: nrettv hot. I just lay in my ham mock without any covers. They teii me we will get to Manilla just in lime ; for the rainy season, but that is all j right with me; anything like fresh water has a peculiar fascination fi,r Die.. We have to put out tarpaulius to protect us from the hot sun. May 21st, Tuesday. 1 have lost a day so I thought I would write and see if you have seen anything of it over there. Last night when we went to bed, It was Sunday, Hay 1!), but today 1 woke up to learn that it was Tuesday. During the nijht we crossed the International date line, or the 180th meridian and lost a day by so doing. I understand that we will pick it up when we come hack, but if anything should happen that we circumnavigate the globe and come back by continuing to go west, I shall always regret the day I lost. It seems that we will move into the, rainy season out here or the season corresponding to Guam, where a bunch of our marines will leave use, and I understand we will pick up some more. Gaum, May 30, 1918. Thia ep istle progresses rather jerkily but I have it in the drawer of my desk and write whenever I feel in the mood, or when anything happens. We are off Guam now as they anchor out in the bay and no en listed men are allowed on shore. The channel is not deep enough to permit the boat going up to dock, so we get our impressions of Guam at a distance. They are unloading cargo by means of lighters or scows. There are a lot of natives working. They look something like Philip pinos but they call them something else. The natives came around in boats and sold cocoanu's for five cents and bananas for ten cents a dozen. Today the ship gave apples to the enlisted men the first time, and they traded them to the natives one apple for six bananas. The bananas are fine tasting ones too; they are the little short ones. It is certainly true that the bananas that tret rine on the trees are better than the ones that are picked green. Same Old Ship, June 3, 191S. We are still going out win soon oe in Manilla in two or three days now. June 4, 19 IS. We are going through the Philippine Islands or among them to be more exact. We expect to dock at Manilla sometime tomorrow morning, and I'll write again from there if I am able to rustle some stamps, so I will dose this bunch of rubbish and c.;il it a letter. I have held my job all the way over and had good grub so I have no kick coming at all. Also the place where I slept was fine as it was out on the deck as I have said, so on the whole, I have had a nict' trip and to a certain extent an interesting one, although I did not see a great deal that I had not seen before. These Islands look from a distance like the islands out on Pttgot Sound and about Southwestern Alaska, but probably they will look different close up. The future probably holds a lot of interesting things for me, and if it is possible, for you, too. Goodbye and love to all. SID. Lend Your Pennies to the Government! Canaeoa, P. I., June 11, 1918. Dear Mother:- I am on shore again and U seems pretty nice to be off of that trans port . You will notice the address Canaeoa which is the Naval Hos pital near Cavite. We are here for two weeks in dention again and vaccinated once more. One of the fellows remarked that if they kept up the present rate of vaccination, they would be getting us up and vaccin ating us every morning before breakfast. We don't have anything to do but keep our quarters clean, and a little mess duty, or K. P. as they say in the Army. It seems nice to get plenty of fresh water to wash clothes. I should have knocked wood when I wrote the foregoing for I hadn't any more than finished writing it when they grabbed me for one of a working party and we had to pile up sugar, flour and case goods. Be lieve me I got up some perspiration, and you don't have to work very hard in this man's country to get up a sweat- It's pretty hot but still not uncomfortable in the shade. We don't wear any blouses, just under shirts. It will be sun shiny weather and hot, when suddenly a cloud will come up and it will rain like thunder for a few minutes, then dear up and be nice again. The Phiiippinos don't pay any attention to the rain just go on working as ir it were not raining. We didn't get to see much of Manilla for we just got off the trans port and onto another boat that took us over here. But on the street I saw an auto, a horse and a carriage, a street car and several carts drawn by water buffaloes. There are lots of little cabs or enr rabaMs and the horses are littie bits of things about the size of a Shetland pony. The drivers keep pounding them on the back all the time. It looks funny to see one of those little ! horses pulling two or three men bo sides the driver. Well I'll write more when I have more to write. Address my mail, Naval Station, Cavite, P. I., until 1 tell you different. SID. That is the spirit which will help America win the war. That is the THRIFT spirit. There is a place for the pennies put them in Thrift and War Savings Stamps.
