Former Foot Ball Coach at Klamath
High School Now a Lieutenant at
Camp Lewis, Gives Original
and Interesting Account
of Conditions There
A letter of, unusual Intaraat has
Just been received by Principal C. R.
Bowman of the Klamath County high
school from Lieutenant Cheater G.
Iliiffglna, now at American Lake, who
vra previously a member of the high
school faculty.
Lieutenant llugglna seems to aenie
the things about the army Ufa which
are or most Interest to the outsider,
and his letter, altbo quite lengthy, la
to Inlet eating tbnt It Is dlflJcult to cut
out any one part In Ita publication.
He says, in part:
I rcKrted here on December 14th
In the hardest rain It haa ever been
my pleasure to feel. You do not
know what rain Is, there In Klamath.
We had our orders to report to the
conihiaulMl oilier of tbe 91st divi
sion, "so we proceeded to find that
aald dignitary. Wo Anally found him
about one-half mile from the station,
after we had ruined our proud uni
forms, not to mention suck things as
ahoea and puttees that we bad paid
a small fortune for. After the for
mality of reporting for duty waa over
wo were told next to report to ths
brigade commander, and that bis of
fice waa a mile up tbs line. Now,
keep In mind tbat this la a big camp,
and tbat tbs itreeta ara about two
miles long, and that tbsrs are a hair
dosea or more itreeta on each aide
of the Immense parade grounds. Af
ter we had tramped that mile with
our ault cases we were aaalgned to
our quartera. Again, If any of you
bare the Idea that omcere llvo like
kings, that ta another of your theo
rise that needa remodeling. Our
R. W. Tower, who opsratss a amall
sawmill about fifteen miles south of
tbla city, has Juat received aa order
frost Chicago for a largs quantity of
lit places for use in curtain rollers.
This is tks first order af this kind so

quartera consist of a very bare look
ing building, with no furniture, in
ths center of It ws have a big coal
atovs, and Just out behind we have
tbe lavatoriea and abowera. Shower
hatha ara among tha very first thing
that tbe government provides, and
they Insist tbat they be used, too.
We srs provided for Just exactly aa
ths privates, with the exception that
we hare a Sambo who sweeps out for
ua, builds fires, etc. We hare little
iron cot. 30 Inches wide. Just wide
enough to make my bed at home
seem like the Sahara desert In com
parison. We offlccrs have to furnish
our complete equipment, and tlio
"complete equipment" covers three
typewritten sheets, so you can easily
ace why an officer In the United States
army never gets rich. We must each
be provided with such things as a
waterproof bedding roll containing a
mattress, pillow, blankets; catine
utensils for use in campaign; all our
clothing; field glasses: revelver:
havreaack and pack carrier; can
teen; not to mention hundreds of
mailer articles.
The spirit of tbla camp la abso
lutely amaslng. Hundreds of the men
aren't equipped for the climate, and
they are forced to drill In the pouring
rain, band numb, feet wet and mis
erable, tbe water pouring down their
barks, literally soaked to the skin;
their shoes ragged and ruined and
yet ths men go along singing and
jonhlng one another, and take It all
aa a matter of Inconvenience, but as
a necessity. Uncle 8am Insists that
hla arhedule be lived up to every dny.
The men have ao much to do, and
thoy have to do it in aplte of tho
u.lll. He operates it In connection
with bla ranch In that vicinity, and
expecta to cut half a million feet this
year.

Vice Admiral Sir Rosslyn Weniyna,

sea lord in the DrltUh admiralty, has
been named first sea lord In place of
Sir Johu R. Jolltcoo. Tho change,
which ling not been fully explained
In Great Ilrltatn, Is believed to mean
greater activity of the grand fleet. It
Is possible some effort will be mado to

are ready for shipment, and most of
tho time they are here a much longer
time than that. If one who had al

men nt work In water up to their
shoe tops, ami saw the earnestness on
their fnrcs and tho cnRorners with
which they worked. I believe he
would havo a ticklish sensation up
and down his spine romcithlng like he
has when he hears a good band play

"We do not desire the help of the

will display herself to her own people
