la Sunday, and aa all Klaaaatk boya
hare are quarantined and eaaaot as to1

try, they are writing letters.
It soem that thtre were two or
three casea of contagiosa disease ta
Vancouver, and somebody took a and
den notion tbat the twenly-tvo of ua
bosplul men who came tip froa there
a week ago bad been exposed, so we
are doomed to be penned up for a
couple of weeks, awaiting the develop
Bient of smallpox, spinal meningitis,
measles. and mumps.
Ninety-five more of the boys la the
medical corps are due here tonight,
and they will bo put In the barracks
with us. The hospital waa pretty nice,
and when wc left those hot cakes, hot
biscuits, butter and trimmings for
their coffee and a few mora delicacies,
It did not appeal to their sense of
humor.
Hon ever they are treated pretty
well here, and a couple of weeks will
only give them timo to recuperate from
their vaccination nnd propholactlc
treatment, and time to write to their
sweethearts. Tbe Klamath boys' quar
ters overlook Puget Sound, and there
Is lots nf green gross and hills to look
at, so they will not suffer for Insplra
lion.
This Is a six company post, tho larg
est or the iniget Sound defenses. Seat
tle Is fifty miles from here by water,
and Port Townaend Juat a mile over
tbe hill. Port Casey and Fort Flagler
are the other two forts In this vicin
ity, nnd are located on Islands about
six miles distant. Thla point la a
narrow place In the sound, and search
lights play across the water In several
places at night. Tbe stream of light
thrown from the other shore la bright
enough to read by aa It paaaea the win
dows. There Is plenty of fog here at times.
nml we ate Just beginning to get used
to tho fog horns and whistling buoys,
but we have had more sunshine In the
past week than we had In Vancouver
in a month.
Government boats make the rounds
to tbe fort, and carry freight and pan
Bengera to Seattle. We are allowed to
ride on theae boata free of charge
whenever we can get leave of absence.
It is a good thing a soldier haa some
privileges besldea drawing hie $15, per.
We are statlonod here for training and.
duty, and will probably stay not longer
than a few weeks, after which we will
be shipped to Franco, the Philippine
Islands or aomo post In the United
States. Tbe war department seems to
want ua acclimated, and we are willing
to ride In the boata all we can. When
we camo here there were only a few
boya In the hospital, and the non-commissioned
officers were worked on
right away.
About two hours are spent each day
in drill with litters and marching and
an hour or ao In atudy and recitation
in "First Aid" and hospital work In
genoral. All who are not assigned to
special duty have to police the hospital

At a public meeting held last night
prior to tbe regular session of the Oust
aesa Men'a Association, the advlslbllity
of changing the proposed railroad cele
bration from June 6th, a first announc
ed, to July 3, and (allowing it with a
patriotic celebratioa'July 4th. was dis
cussed, and It waa iMjiltd by a large
majority to make tifts" change, owing
to tbe fact that It would give greater
time for preparation and a greater
crowd would be here to celebrate the
event.
The same committees scheduled to
promote the etent for the earlier date
have been requested to proceed with
the work for July 4th.
W. P. Johnson, who has been active
ly engaged in preparation for the rail

set, and solicits the co-operation of ev
ery business man of the city in ranking
tbls the biggest event In the history
of Klamath Falls.
