Notwithstanding several attempts have been made to obtain a motor boat for the Life Saving Station at Bar View, there appears to be little prospects of obtaining one, and for that reason the life saving cress is greatly handicapped. We have receiv ed another letter from Congressman Hawley, who has made several efforts to obtain quick action, but, somehow, the officials at Washington keep de laying and making excuses. ------ o------ Hon. Fred C. Baker, Tillamook, Ore. My dear Friend—I have again had up with Captain Commandant of the United States Coast Guard, now of the Navy Department instead of the Treasury Department, and he states under date of March 22, 1918, as fol lows: “1. I regret to state that it has not been found practicable, in viesv of the conditions recited in my letter to you of October 30, 1917, to take definite steps toward providing the above named station (motor lifeboat for Station No. 312, Tillamook Bay, Orc.) with another motor life boat. "2 This office is using its best en deavors to meet the situation which I then explained to you, in the matter of supplying the stations, as their needs appear to demand, with this type of boats.” I regret that the Coast Guard takes the position that the needs at other stations are more pressing than in this case and must be given first con sideration. The matter will continue to receive my attention and I hope it may be possible to secure the new boat at an early date. With best wishes, I am, Truly yours, W. C. Hawley. W.

Dear Father—1 will write you a few lines to let you know I am well and hope you are the same. We sure had some trip. 1 am going to try to tell you something about it We had lots of fun on the train. All of the towns down through Oregon heard about us coming through, and about every body was out to bid us good bye. We got eight hours off in Tracy, Calif., It wasn’t much of a place, but they gave us a dance. We left Fort Stevens about nine o'clock Tuesday night and got to Frisco Friday morning, March ed about three miles over to the dock and stayed on the boat until it pulled out Sunday about three o’clock. We got into the Panama Canal the next Sunday morning. We went through it in seven hours. We stayed all night at Colon, but they wouldn’t let us off. We got to Norfolk, Virginia, Friday, the 15th and to New York yesterday morninig and took the train out here in the afternoon. The« were about 3000 men on the boat besides the crew. We saw all kinds of things on the road, mostly flying fish and tur tles. We saw millions of niggers in Panama. They seem to grow good down there. We were on the boat 17 days. 1 was sure glad to get off. We landed here last evening. It is just an embarkation camp.. Troops never stay here over ten days unless they are quarantined for disease. We saw Edwin Thomas here. He said they didn’t have as good a trip as we did. He heard that the Oregon Artillery was here, and came and hunted us up. He is quite a guy. He said he was over to New York yesterday. He knew Ray Walls. They used to work together in Portland. They got quar antined here, he said. 1 hey were go ing to start across in a day or two. He is ill a pretty good outfit. I guess 1 wi'l close, we haven’t any address. It is just a name, write and we will get it all right. Win. Thomas. Battery C. 65 Artillery A. E. F.
