All Bids for Highway

Bids for the sale of old equipment
which the highway commission onus in
various sections of the state, were open

jected.. "In view of the prices asked for rent
al of this equipment by various dealers,
the tenders received were not consider

ter carefully considering the cost of put
ting this equipment into serviceable con
dition and the shortage of equipment
on the Pacific coast for construction
purposes, together with the large
amount of construction work which the
department has before it the coining
season, decided that it would be un
wise at this time to sell any of the
equipment which could be made use of
on next season's work, aud, therefore,
all proposals were rejected," said High

Manager Ivan McDaniel of the Sa
lem Commercial club, has received the
following letter from his brother, now
in Franco with the' engineers' corps,
containing many interesting details
and experiences of the trip across the
seas to the battle front in France:
Somewhere in France, Oct. 1, '17.

and doing our bit.

We touched land at one point on the

channel for France. We spent a day or
so at a rest camp in the part of France
wnere we first landed and then moved
to the point at which we are now sta

Sent to Their Posts
In England we were received in a
peculiar manner. Whilo me people
were very glad to nave us come, yet
they took our arrival as a matter of
course. But few people of rank even
noticed our arrival or departuree.
Things were decidedly business like
and typically English.
The boys got their first taste of
English money and many of us lost
several shillings before we "caught
on" to the system. We would go into
the candy shop, pick out our chocolate
and hand out the huge coppers end
let the girl take what the sweets cost

several days.

Lilsea the Australians
America hears but little of the Aus

nearly like the American fellows than
any of the other allies. They are a
rough and ready lot and always on the
alert. They receive more pay than the
American but earn it ever bit. We have
been associated witn them ever since
landing on this side and I think that
they are liked better bv the Americans
than any of tho other allied soldiers.
