HERMISTON BOY AT
NAVAL TRAINING CAMP
In a letter to his father. Axel Sone-
son, who entered Bremerton navy yard
after enlisting from here some time
ago, states that he has been transferred
to the naval training camp at Seattle,
where he was logged out in blue uni­
form and has begun the study of wire­
less telegraphy.
A radio orerator is an important
personage aboard ship. Often the lives
and safety of the entire sbip’scompany
are in bis bands anda single mistake on
his part in the sending or receiving of
messages might spell defeat where vic­
tory would have been possible.
For this reason the training that
Mr. Soneson is receiving at Seattle is
thorough. Himself and the other
student-operators practice at the in­
struments in the school rooms of the
University of Washington many hours
each day, and when at the end of from
three to four months they become
skilled in the use of the apparatus they
“ship to sea” to begin real war work

Tbe plant is Ine most complete one

the owner many thousands of dollars
to erect the building and purchase tbe
machinery to place therein—all of
which goes to show the unbounded
faith of the gentleman in the Hermis­

Evidently ranchers vied with one
