VETERAN RECALL
WAR TIME INCIDENTS
(The following is the third of a ser
ies of letters being written, for the
Glacier by Thomas Goss, member of
Canby Post, G. A.'R.)
After marching out into the woods a
short distance we halted, stacked arms
and made prenaration for breakfast,
which consisted of hardtack and bacon.
We had no coffee that morning. We
got water to drink out of a little creek
near by. Soon after this we resumed
our march to the front. I afterward
learned that we had been placed in
Critenden's Brigade for the day.
We had not gone far before we saw
two dead men who had been killed the
day before by the explosion of a shell.
They were badly mutilated and it
made me sick at once. That is the
only time I felt that way at the sight
of dead men. Ask Adj. Blythe about
that. He was near by when it was
done. And there is Newton Clark an
old comrade. He belonged to Co. K,
of the same regiment that I did and
I'll have to be careful how I tell this
story or they will call me down. We
soon found our place in the line at the
front in the woods.
The battle opened some distance to
the right near the Shiloh fields and the
strife came surging up the line and it
was not long until we heard them in
our front, but some distance away.
In our front was a thicket of brush
so that we could not see very far, and
while we were listening with all the
ears we had the captain called out,
"Attention, company! Open ranks and
let this battery pass through," and as
we looked around the battery was
within a few rods of us coming as fast
as the horses could gallop. Then we
began to move. We did not wait for
any nice evolution of company drill,
but we tumbled over each other to get
out of the way of the battery. The bat
tery moved to the crest of the hill just
in our front, about four rods, unlim
bered the horses from the guns and
caissons and were back again out of
direct rifle range quicker than I can
tell it on paper.
We then closed up our ranks. We
were soon ordered up in line with the
battery as support and ordered to fix
bayonets, which we did in a hurry to
be ready for the charge that was soon
to come. As soon as the rebels began
to show in a solid column the battery
opened with shell and as they came
nearer, with grape and cannister. As
they came nearer their yell was some
thing terrific. As soon as they got
near enough so that we could see the
brush snake as they were coming
through we were ordered to fire. The
battery was tearing gaps through their
ranks all this time.
Our liro staggered and confused
them; their yell died down to a whine
and our charge drove them back to the
rear. But they left a good many that
were unable to travel. It dont' look
right now for men to train in the art
of war, for the purpose of killing each
other. It was not.intended so in the
beginning. We soon broke their line
when they retreated in confusion and
went clear out of our sight. It was not
lone until they brought in a new line.
We rallied and reformed our line and
pressed forward. ' It was not long un
til we had tojdo the same work over
again. We charged and broke their
lines three times that day. It took
some time after each charge to rally
and reform and get ready for action,
Everv time we charged the rebels gave
way and fell back, never to recover
that ground again.
In one of our rallies one of the boys
said he was wounded in the leg. He
sat down on a log and called for one of
the boys to pull off his boot, as he
could feel the blood run down his leg
into his boot, tie said Hurry, be
quick ; be quick or my boot will be full
of blood." The comrade pulled off his
boot, turned it bottom side up to empty
the blood out, but none came. He
looked in the boot and it was not
there. Examination showed a hole in
the leg of his pants and a dent in his
boot leg and a dark spot on the calf of
his' leg. He had been hit with a spent
ball. The boot leg had saved him from
a bad wound. So you see how easy it
is for a man to suffer and bleed for his
country, without being badly hurt.
After one of our charges I was
watching men at a distance in the
front. Our regiment had rallied and
fallen back to form anew for more
work. I failed to notice and see which
way they went and when I got ready
to go 1 could not see my regiment any
where. I saw a regiment to the left
and ran to. it, and found it to be a Ken
tucky regiment which was just prepar
ing to charge. I stayed with them un
til they made the charge, then I hunted
and found my own regiment and kept
close to it the rest of the day.
About 4 o'clock the rebels began to
break and began a retreat for Corinth,
Miss. Then is when the cavalry got
busy. We were relieved front and
marched back to the landing. During
the day the 14th regiment captured a
11! pound brass cannon and uov. Har
vey, of Wisconsin, got permission to
take the gun to Madison, and it is
there yet. We selected as good a place
as we could to camp, stacked arms
and began preparations for supper, as
we had had nothing to eat all day. We
lost during the day one man killed,
John Pealer, two taken prisoner and
several wounded.
We had not been in camp long until I
saw the 1st Ohio march past us and
stack arms. I knew I had a cousin in
Co. D of the 1st Ohio, so I started out
to find him. I found him sitting on a
stump. I took him by theshoulder, and
by the way he turned on me I saw that
the fight was not all out of him yet.
He had been in- the battle all day and
not hurt. He was afterward wounded
in the head at Lookout Mountain. I
went back to camp and got supper,
which consisted of coffee, hardtack and
bacon. We prepared as good a place
as we could find and made our beds.
Rain again, as usual, and we got soak
ing wet.
On the eighth Captain Mansfield de
tailed Billy Bratt and your humble ser
vant to go and bury our dead, which we
did as best we could, as the ground was
very wet and we could not dig more
than three feet without going into
water. And Billy cut the initials of
his name on an oak tree close by and
east of his grave. We folded hie
blanket around him and laid him to
rest in peace. The booming of cannon
and strife - of - war troubled him no
more. His last words were, "Tell my
mother J died for my country."
My next letter will tell of some of
my experiences in the hospital.

Smith Carves Unique Cane
D. P. Smith, a West Side orchard
ist, exhibited a unique walking stick
here last week. The head of the cane,
carved by Mr. Snvth.outof the root and
portion of a wild lilac bush, represents
the Kaiser, before and after the war.
From one side the German emperor,
with his military mustaches erect,
appears as the virile war lord. On
the opposite side the face of the first
Hohenzollern is concave, apparently
crushed in by chagrin and disappointment.

GROWERS WILL BE
RICHER AFTER WAR
When the treat kurooean war is
ended members of the Apple Growers
Association, of this city, will be ap
proximately $12,000 richer than at
present. In 1915 cargoes of apples be
ing exported to England by the Associ
ation were delayed in transit by the
British government. When released,
it was found that the fruit had de
cayed so badly that it was unsalable.

The Association has already received
the $8,000, but has given a bond for
its return in case a reversal of the

Officials of the Association say that
the matter will probably not be finally

ARE GIVEN BONUS
President J. D. Farrell, of the Ore
fron-Washington Railroad & Navigation
Co., has just made announcement of
that company's plan this year to give
its employes the privilege or cultivat
ing its right-of-way and other lands
that may be available for such pur
poBes. "This is done," he explains.
"as an aid to national preparedness
through the production of vegetable
roods.
No charge will be made for the priv
ilege, and the only condition is that
such produtcs as are grown shall be
confined to the use of employes and
their families.
"Our great family of employes," he
adds, "can splendidly assist in the na
tion's program of preparedness by add
ing to the food supply, and all who can
do so are earnestly urged to take ad
vantage of this offer.
This announcement further provides
that lands not applied for within ten
days will be offered to others than em
ployes, when suitably recommended
on the same terms.
This move brines into possible nro-
ductivity a very large area of land as
fertile and capable as the average
farm, and if the offer can be improved
it will absolutley remove from the em
ploye's family expense account the
cost of vegetables for an entire year,
BELGIAN CHILDRENS'
CARD PARTY TONIGHT
A committee of Hood River women
composed of representatives of all the
card clubs of the city and rural com
munities, are making preparations for
a card party to be given this evening
at the Heilbronnerballfor thebenefit
of the relief of starving Belgian chil
dren. Tables will be provided for 200
participants and the party is expected
to be the largest of the kind ever
given in the city.
LocaP women are taking an unprece
dented interest in raising funds for the
Belgian Children's Relief Fund. An
organization begun here several weeks
ago by the women contemplates rais
ing $1,500 within the next year. The
new organization, with which all local
banks are cooperating, already has
more than 100 members, who have
pledged themselves to give a minimum
of 25 cents monthly for a period oi
year.
The women, who are working so
earnestly and faithfully tin providing
funds for the relief of the starving
Belman children, make an appeal to
the folk oflHood River for humanity's
sake. The local women desire to raise
as large a funds possible. The sum of
$1, it is said, - will keep life in some
little tot in the beleaguered land across
the seas for a month.
