Life Saving Station Handicapped.
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.

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.

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.
