The following arcticle, taken from the Boise, Ida., Statesman, tells of Col. L. K. Holbrook, brother i f Mrs. George Callaway : Mrs. L. R. Holbrook has recently received a series of photographs of her husband, Colonel Holbrook. and his regiment, taken upon their arrival in F'rance, sent her through the courtesy of Harris Dickson, the war corres pondent tor Collier's, who accompan ied her husband's regiment, the Sev enth artillery, I'. S. A., and who has recently returned to the United States, one of his articles having appeared al ready in the magazines. One of the pictures represents the colonel alighting from an airplane. All the officers of the regiments, the colonel writes, are obliged to make one flight a day, with a pilot, in order to accustom themselves to making obser vations of the enemy. A F'rench pilot accompanied Col. Holbrook in all of his Ilights, he wrote. In a letter written on thanksgiving day the colonel Bays: We had a very hountitul ilinner to day. I'ncle Sammy sent turkeys and cranberries for all the soldiers - almost. but incidentally we had geese in our regiment. Unfortunately about half of them were spoiled, but we hail plenty to eat, u'd the same, and al though we could hear the intermittent thundering of cannon and beyond the horizon, all was cairn and peaceful chez nous. "When I returned home tonight I heard many of the men singing in their billets and in the cafes, but all in good order, and 1 was glad they were so happy. My regiment has behaved so beautifully in all the hitlets we have been in that 1 almost hate to speak about it without striking wood, for the boys (and they are boys) can't always be so good. They have helped the old people thresh out their grain, always with flails and hand power ma chines, split and pile their little stores of wood for the winter, put away their vegetables and haul the manure from the streets. "In this way we have always gotten in the good graces of the inhabitants, and they have always expressed great regret when we have left, although they looked at ua with mistrust upon arrival. Inhabitants have tokl me that niv solderis have acted better than the French, and since arrival at my winter billets we have had but one single case of a drunken, disorderly solider, and he was an old offender that I canned at once. "Yesterday 1 move out of my bat talions to another town farther away, the town formerly occupied being so filthy and unsanitary that it was con demned. The creolin placed in latrines spoiled the drinking water in thi wells, so goes the native complaint and the water test was something aw ful. But somehow vto pulled through and have had no serious results from the bad water. We don't boil it, but nut tubes of chlorine in it, which is said to be perfectly effective. Tb new town is much cleaner than the old one, wider and less muddy streets, and more room for men and animals. "Tell the bovs that many of the French children, many of them smal ler than Kov, are taking the places of men in this war. Many a night at dusk, in returning to my billets, 1 have seen these poor little fellows standing in the cold rain, herding the sheep and cattle to the last minute of day light before driving them home for the niirht. At railroad crossings little fel lows smaller than Roy take charge of the gates and close them for protec tion against passing trains, and hold the responsible positions of their fath ers. who are at the front. "In the camouflage factories their nimble fingers tie the bands of grass about the chicken wire and carry ma terials as busily as bees in a hive. By the way, the grass 1 tied the Christ- Bias packages wun is camounage crass.' in reality strips of palm leaves imported from Madagascar and dyed to correspond to the several colors ot tne ground. Thousands of women work as 1 have never seen human beings work before, painting canvas, etc., about which I will tell you when 1 get home, but the tricks of camouflage are be vond anything you can imagine and 1 am hardly at liberty to Bay anything about this work. Fivery where we see the sitrn of caution. 'Taisez Vous. Metiez Vous. Les Oreifles des ennemi's vous ecoutent.' The Boche spv sys tem, even here, is really remarkable, and the above sign is a good caution arv measure. "It is nearly midnight, and I must close, as I require every officer to be early in the saddle. 1 am putting the screws down tight, and every man will at least take home the remembrance that he once served in the 'Seventh and that the 'old man led them a mer ry chase." In his Christmas letter the colone savs : "My command is in three towns, nd between times I have attended the early Christmas trees that we got up for the poor little refugee children and for the others here, and we gave them the most happy Christmas they prob ably have ever known. In this town we spent at least 2000 francs on about 60 children, giving them shoes and sweaters and sabots, in addition to candies, nuts, etc. "The Christmas tree was placed out in front of the church, and the village cure handed out the presents. The band played, we did a few stunts, and a little boy delivered a recitation, of which 1 will send you a copy, and to which I replied in my best French. "I visited my 'far away' battalion today, and was present for the. Christ mas tree, which 'vas even more elab orate than here. A little Krench girl about nine years old recited, and again 'mon colonel' had to respond. "Never in this world will these poor little children forget the Christmas we gave them. Officers and enlisted men contributed liberally, and did every thing to make the affairs a success and the tine feelinir produced cannot be overestimated. "You don't know the comfort you have given the soldiers by the sweat ers and socks. They will help to keep them well. The government simply cannot supply the demand." Mrs. J. H. Shoemaker last week re ceived an interesting letter from her nephew, Ivan Sturdivant, a member of the naval medical corps. The young man, who had just returned from a tour of Oriental waters, wrote as fol lows : 1 am in the best of health and weigh 174 pounds. Believe me, 1 can whip a couple of GermansJmyself.J We just came back from Russia last week. On our way back we were in Korea, Japan and Honolulu. I have made several trips to Honolulu, but the rest of the trip was new to me and 1 enjoyed it very much. hile in Kussia we were able to see i hear lots of their conditions and I will say that it is no wonder they do not care to fight. Along the miles of water front in Vladivostok you can see tons and tons of material and foods of all kinds going to waste. Also there were four Bhips in the bay and they could not find any place to land their cargo. The whole thing is that their railroad is no (rood and they haven't enough power to take any of the ma terials east to the battle front. 1 do not think that Germany will gain any ground by taking Russia because there is no food nor guns for them there. We were a month in Japan and while there 1 made several trips inland. 1 do not like Japan for it is too dirty. We were in Nagasaki ( hristmas and New Years. Honolulu is a very fine place and 1 enjoy our trips there. We always go in swimming ttiere and it is great It is very hot there and is about the same all the year around. It is a very interesting trip around the lslaud and among the large plantations. I am in the medical corps. After this next trip I will be a sergeant. That is one rank under Glenn. 1 sure am glad to know that he is doing so well. Van W. Gladden, member of the 20th FIngineers regiment aboard the Tus- cania, was one ot the last ot the sur vivors or the torpedoed transport to eave the sinking wreck. The engin eer, now billeted with the lamily ot the grammar school teacher of an Irish village, in a letter to his brother, Geo. C. Gladden, tells of his experience. "We were Btruck about six o'clock, he writes, "and all of us at the com mand of ollicers, rushed to deck, leav ing all of our belongings behind. I was on an upper deck and was detailed to assist with the lowering of life boats. For three hours 1 was engaged at my post, and I was still there when the last destroyer put ort rrom the side of the sinking ship with its load of resuced. By means of a rope 1 reached a life raft. Later we aboard the raft were picked up by an open boat. It was seven o'clock next morning when we were picked up and landed. "While I wa as tit as ever, as far as concerned my physical self, within a few hours after 1 had been ashore, the imprint of that disaster will rest on my mind forever. "The welcome of the Irish people t( us soldiers of the United States is one of the finest things 1 have ever seen The Irish have done all in their power to comfort us. The Red Cross Chapter daily receives ' letters from soldiers who have passed through here and have received apples that are distributed to all troops. Last week a letter from Private R. B. Wal do, en route to an eastern cantonment, compliments the canteen committee i is distribution of gifts. Private Waldo writes: "This iR to thank your organization for your cordial and liberal treatment of those aboard our train. We have been well treated all along the line, hut hardly as well at any other place as at Hood River. I wish especially to compliment you on the way. in which you distribute your gifts. At many places they were .simply placed on the first car, which is of course convenient, and those of other cars do not get any thing." E. S. Olinger last week received a letter from his son, Winfield Olinger, who enlisted last fall in the aviation corps, announcing that the young man hail been selected from a claas at Kel ley Field, Tex., where he has been sta tioned for some time, to attend a mo tor school at Pittsburgh, Pa. The young man's training will last six weeks, after which he expects to be sent to F'rance. Mr. Olinger, formerly in the stock businae. declared that he was much pleased with his army work. The sight of the maneuvering aeroplanes, he stated, was one never to be forgotten. "Throughout the day," Mr. Olinger stated in his letter, "the heavens are filled with flying machines." Mrs. G. L. Schetky, of the East Side, last week received a letter from her son, Bernard, who is in training at an aviation camp at Fort Sam Hous ton, Tex., announcing that the young man was confined to the hospital, suf fering from a badly lacerated hand, the wounds having been sustained when the young man ran his hand through a bathroom window. Mr. Schetky seated that he would probably be in the hospital for six weeks. Mrs. H. J. rrederick luesday re ceived from the British War office at London an official communication an nouncing that her son, Milo Frederick, member of the British Royal Engi neers, was ill at a military hospital at Genoa, Italy. I he young man, the notice stated, was suffering from in flamation of the stomach. Young Frederick was engaged in inland water transportation service in Italy. Edward Thornton, who has won note for a war song, "He's Your Boy and My Boy, Daddy," in Sunday's mail re ceived from Billy Moran, a Boldier in overseas forces, who stated that he had just returned from doing a bit in the trenchs. a letter ordering a supply ot j the songs.

MacDonald, chairman, Dr. C. H. Jen kins, Mrs. LeRoy Taft, Mrs. R. D. Gould and C. D. Hoyt. SAMSON TRACTOR MAKES APPEAL Despite the unpleasantness of the weather, many were present last Fri day afternoon on the Peters ranch to see the Snow-F'orden Motor Co. give its successful Samson tractor demon stration. While the ground was ex tremely wet and in bad shane for a demonstration, the Samson (lid more than was expected of it. The sieve grip, a patented feature of the wheelw of the machine, nrevented packing of the earth. The big powerful motor pulled the plows up the steepest grades. " .

LAND PLASTER SHOULD BE APPLIED tBy Gordon G. Brown) The use of land plaster is becoming an established practice in llwm Kiav valley. In most cases its use upon either clover or alfalfa haB proved ben eficial. During the last two years the local experiment station has been test ing this fertilizer and marked increase have been secured over the unfertilized heck. The grower is urged to keep clearly in mind that this fertilizer is not used to correct acidity of the soil, however, and should therefore not con fuse the same with limestone. The former is a form of limestone that hits been treated with Bulphuric acid and therefore in applying same to the soil there is no possibility of its correcting acidity as is true of limestone. There are few soils in the valley where the use of limestone is required. This is especially so in our orchard!. The apple is more or less indifferent to slight amounts of soil acidity and the use of land plaster should be made where necessary with the idea of stim ulating shade crop growth. The use of (lowers of sulfur at the rate of 200 iounds to the acre has alan proved profitable in this valley. Since it is higher in price ami gives no better results than land plaster the latter is recommended. The continued use of sulfur may tend to create soil acidity. Tests bearing upon this point are being made. In the meantime the grower is advised to use land plaster at the rate of 101) pounds to the acre and to apply same immediately, a second applica tion made after the first cutting he been tested and while slight increaaea have been secured over the one appli cation, the difference was not suffi ciently large to warrant its being ap plied twice. Elither the Oregon land plaster or the Utah land plaster is recommended. Searches of records and reliable ab stracts made by Oregon Abstract Com pany, A. W. duthank, Manager, 305 Oak'Streot.
