Day by day, with each square mal,
ch added Inch of chest expansion,
and each new pound of muscle, the
boys In the C. 0. O. re finding out
that llf In tha forest of tha west
la not auch a tough, dull lite after
all.
The camp commandera and visit
ing Inspecting offlcere are noting the
development and growth of a fine
eprlt de corpe throughout the 469
camps In the Ninth Corpa area, com
manded by Major General Maim
Craig.
ta Complaining.
Morale that waa good from the atart
la getting better. There la an Increas
ing enthualaam for the Job In hand.
Leas complaining over the little Incon
veniences attendant on a new Ufa In
trarmi aurroundlngs.
There la little urge to return to
the uncertain welcome that awaits
m th nutaida world where It la a
cue of every man for himself.
It would not be a caae of "flying
to evils that they know of." All of
then boys have tasted the mlserlea
of want, privation and lacie 01 a jou.
But a few have succumbed to nos
talgia and "eloped" for the home
town and these few have not con
cealed their regrets.
Admits Dumbness.
At one aald: "I was too dumb to
know when I waa well off In a camp
that's better than some of the campa
a lot of millionaire guya pay big Jack
tn iiv in during the Bummer. But
I bad to be dumb enough to leave
my duda ranch and three aquarea
with 80 bucka a month and now I m
-iitid looking In the bakery win'
dnwi In Los Angeles again. I'm. an
fni nam In the neck to myself."
Borne of the lettera these "elopers"
Tit hack are nathetlc. Colonel Wll
llam A. Alfonte, commander of the
Lewlston (Idaho) district, received
the following letter from a boy who
succumbed to homealckneaa and
pulled out for the east on foot: Hla
plight, after 18 daya on the road to
home, la revealed In hla request for
hajk nav.
"I need the money very bad," he
"it wsa a long trip and very
tiresome and a lot of tha 18 daya
wr hunsrv dava."
Tell the boya to stay there be
cause there Isn't anything to do at
nnm I wish I were back. All
can do here la lay around. W all
have to live and leam. Tell the doc
tor I'm sorry I left on the outa with
htm."
Another boy who missed hla mall
wrote:
"Please send my letter my fam
lly sent out for It contains my
chauffeur's license and I need It
to get a Job again.- I had some
awful daya coming home by
freight when I went A. W. O. I.
It took ma nine daya coming
home, sergeant."
But typical of tha aadder letters
eomee one from a mother who, aorry
for her boy, hopes In vain to give
him another chance.
"My son," she wrote, "la here."
I am writing you after waiting a
week to hear something from you
there In regards to him leaving
for home. I want him to finish
hla enlistment there. He la far
better able to work than hla
. father or I. We have taken car
of him all through the depreaslon
and wa feel he got a ohanca to
earn and help a bit now I want
htm to finish.
"There la nothing here for him.
I asked the welfare man about
transferring him to a camp here.
He did not know It It would be
possible. Now I am waiting to
hear from you at the earliest
time advising me about the mat
ter. "I know that It la the beat
thing In the world for him to stay
there and you can telegraph ma
what to do aboul hla transporta
tion. Please let me hear from
you at your earliest opportunity
and tell me what way to send him
back."
Another letter to Lieutenant Col
onel L. L. Pendleton, commanding the
Eureka district, was written by
Spanish lad who got discouraged and
quit after he had fought a couple
of fast rounds with poison oak.
He writes:
"Lob Angeles, Calif.,
"August 13. 1033.
"Dear Sir:
"I have studied English, but I
doubt that I could truly express
my repentence for my sorry be
havior. It took me two days and two
nlghta to reach Loa Angeles. I
waa glad to see my family, but
very much ashamed of having
gone over the hill.
"An N. R. A. atrlke over the
week-end spoiled my hopes for a
Job.
"If you will take me back, I'll
gladly ahed tears of gratefulness.
My folka aay the climate has don
me good. I'll stand all the P. O.
In Trinity county If you will only
take me back.
"Honest .there la nothing In
town and I mis the camp. Can't
you count my absence aa a leave?
If you can't please deduct a dol
lar a dy and call me back. Ill
be glad to cut a road 40 feet wide
through the mountains If you'll
take me back.
"Sincerely,

track with a freight train switching
cars ahead. Z said to myself 'that's
funny. That's the first time I ever
saw number eight being held up by
freight.'
"I saw the brakeman (A. C. Morris
of Hornell) and I asked him about
the atop. He muttered something
and kept on going. Then I heard the
milk train coming and saw its light
shooting ahead down the track. The
brakeman had a red lantern in his
hand. He began running like mad
In the direction of the milk train,
waving bis red lantern and I think
white one. I got off the track to
watch.
'I dldnt hear any squealing of
brakes you know they squeal like
murder when a train Is stopping and
I said 'he doesn't see him.' I began
to run as fast as I could away from
the track. The next thing I knew
there was an awful crash, like a
mountain falling down. I ran back
to the passenger train then. Part of
the cars were piled up, like a heap
of kindling wood. I could hear peo
ple screaming In agony, crying for
help, and yelling other people's
names.
"I began to pull people out of the
wreckage. Cms little boy was scream
ing for hla mother. I don't know
how many Z pulled out. Z haven't
been able to sleep a wink since, and
Z guess It'll be a long time before Z
want to. Z can't get this thing out
