Alderin. manaeer of the west lur company in Salem, is home after having spent a couple of months in the ship yards of Astoria. Hnvintr had some experience in trying out the cost of living in that seaport, he is of the opinion that the retail houses there are doing their best to separate the workers from the extra pay received from tho ship yard plants. He also is convinced that tle man who will leave Salem just because he can earn a dot lur a day more at Astoria will have another gi ess coming as that extra dol lar will soon lie token away on high cost of living and then some. No big amount of money is now being mndo by shipworkers, he says, as men are not permitted to put in extra time. Manag ers of ship yards have found out that a man who works too much extra time loses half his efficiency for the reg ular day work. Hence no more extra time. Several of the Salem men who took the students' trailing course at Eugene are willing to testify that the course was not enirely high brow work. There was a eouple of hours each day of lectures and such but the course pri marily was to train soldiers and dis cover if tho men had the real fight ing ability in them before being rec ommended for an officers' training camp. According to Fred Ifangis, one of the Salem men who took tho course, the high brow work was about like this: Arise at 6 o'clock and for the next 1 hours, march and drill and dig and fight and make camp and then march again and then a little drilling thrown in for good measure. Then just as a little preliminary exercise to. make a good soldier, hike 20 miles a day, make ramp, do a little guard duty and then an early return the next day with a little side hiking thrown in on the side. After about two weeks of this a man hasn't an extra pound of fat on him. Then to make a man a real soldier, a "no man's land" is established with trenches on each side. The nian on the other side is your bitter enemy andl when the fighting is on and the dynamite is blowing Lane county soil over everything in sight, it is the duty of the embrvo soldier to demon strate his fighting ability by taking prisoner or two. According to the rules of the came. after the soldier gets his enemy down, no must Hold him thcro until a referee, appointed by the war department, do cides tho man i9 down. However, if the other fellow should get on top be- rore tno reteree arrives, then the de eision is for the top mart. The under man is then marched otf as a prisoner and placed in a dugout until exchanged a prisoner or war or Until tho dav's fight is over. Sometimes the fighting is tho great er papt of tho day and into tho night ana just as strenuous as l real war. Thero is real fighting and marching (luring the entire time of training and tho men at all times under the strict est of military discipline.
