be one o f the happiest o f the social

the secretary o f the interior in an e f­
fort to impress upon them the advant­
ages to be derived throughout this
country by the construction o f the
Warm Springs and Owyhee inigation
projects through government aid, and
the justifiable reasons this country has
for asking such aid. Oregon has con­
tributed millions to the reclamation
fund, but little has come back here,
while our sister state o f Idaho has had
numerous large government projects,
bringing many thousands of acres into
cultivation.

Dave Canham Writes Interest­
ingly o f Conditions at the Front
—Hard Drilling and Long
Hikes Order o f the Day.
Interesting letters depicting
the life o f the soldier boys at the
front were received this week
by Thos. Canham, Jr ., from his
son, Dave, who is a member of
the National Guard of Idaho and
stationed at Nogales, Ariz. Mr.
Canham has kindly permitted the
Journal to publish the following:
I have time to write for awhile. It
is awful hot this afternoon. We arc
through with drill for this afternoon.
We are on the start o f three months
rainy season and I want to tell you
when it rains our tents have trenches
a foot deep.
I went to town last night, and talk
about a crowded place. Nogales has a
civilian population o f 3000 and there
are over 22,000 soldiers and more than
three-fourths o f them are in town
every night. The international boun­
dary runs right through the center o f
the town and no soldier is allowed
within half a block o f the line, only
the guards. Caranza’s guard walks on
one side of the street with sawed-off
shotguns, 22 rifles and every kind o f
firearm known since the stone age.
Uncle Sam has over a hundred guards
on that single street. Each one has
rounds of ammunition and their
guns loaded, with instructions to kill
any Mexican soldier attempting to
cross the border.
Villa has eight
thousand men twelve miles southeast
o f here and Caranza has twenty five
thousand seven miles straight from
here. No one expects trouble; nothing .
but six months training. We have reg ­
ular army officers drilling us now and
there is no fooling about it. They in­
spect everything you have, from shoes
a tooth brush, and allow you to
carry no surplus baggage with you,
even have to bum our letters. Every
week we have an eighteen mile hike
with heavy marching order, that is 62
pounds, consists o f three days' rations,
one blanket, one raincoat,one half-span
shelter tent, haversack that holds ra­
tions, towels, dishes, etc., besides a
cartridge belt with 160 rounds o f am­
munition, a gun and a bayonet.
A soldier's life is a merry one. From
5:05 a. m. till 6:35 p. m. we are right
at it. Last night was the first night
got to go to town. 1 bought some
Mexican money from a regular soldier
who found it It Mexico City. One
guard found more than $500,000 worth
of it. 1 paid 25c for $52 worth. Come
to think about it, I believe I sent you
some. I wish I was there to see you
folks and eat some o f Aunt Tudie’ s
eats. We don’ t get hardly anything
to eat, enough to keep up in shape and
that is all. I have lost 25 pounds, but
am feeing fine. Have had my second
noculation o f typhoid germs and feel
fine so far. One fellow died last night
from a complication o f diseases —tu­
berculosis, typhoiu and his vaccination
to top it off. He was from Twin Falls.

lonesome without letters.
