January 26. is.
... Frank Barnard,
' Pullman, Wash.
near Friend:
, received your letter yesterday.
That and one other is all the mail
nave ad since Thanksgiving. That
.. what I get for not "fussing" at
'<-hool and having half a dozen girls
writing regular now. I guess, how
- . that I have a bunch of mail
ever, UP en route as the mail service
gU p en route as the mail service
is very or
-1 get enough of reading letters,
however. The battery officers an
swer all the mail and the second lieu
tenants do most of the battery work.
With no stamps required on letters
and the Y. M. C. A. furnishing sta
tionery free, you can understand that
I have quite a job. I have read a
few letters already from XV. S. C.
fellows to their friends which gave
me information which I wanted, so
you see even censoring mail is not
without its compensations.
I think that "Honor Roll is a
mighty fine idea. It will give us a
chance to know what branch of the
service our friends are in and in that
«y enable us to write to them.
! We had a fine trip from the time
we left the port of embarkation un
til we landed hero in our camp. We
have seen much more country than
you would imagine and have seen a
good many things (castles, etc.) of
real historical interest.
Whenever we stopped at a rest
1 camp for a few days we would divide
: (ie battery up and the officers would
conduct their platoons on tours with
guides to explain the different points.
You would be surprised how well
satisfied the men are, considering
they have not been let loose outside
0/ camp without being under the
gtjiervision of an officer. Some out
fits turned their men loose, but they
had to pay the penalty. We have
not had a single 'man penalized yet
for violating K. '). _.">.
I lhe climate here is a great deal
like Pasadena. The nights are just
cold enough to make sleeping nice
and the days warm enough to make
work pleasant. The soil is sandy
and all around the camp is covered
with forests. When I speak of for
ests I mean French forests, not our
kind. They resemble parks more
tiian a real forest.
January 27, 1918.
I had to quit to catch a ride to
tov.n. It was my first visit to a
Fr-.'Uch city. I had only a 24-hour
pass, so I did not have much time
to ■«» the town. I spent '.he after
noon and evening in the stores buy
ing shoes, clothes, etc. Shoes are
ab.ut the same price as in the Unit
ed .States. In fact, I bought a pair
of U. S. made shoes cheaper than I
could have bought them in the
states. Puttees are half the price of
the same goods in the U. S. Uniforms
I are about 65 per cent the price they
are in the U. S. English and French
Prices are about the same. I had no
trouble in talking enough French to
make myself understood as I had a
of French at W. S. C. I have
a big advantage over most of the
Ulcers as they can not even read
we newspapers.

PULLMAN MAX GOES
THROUGH BIG CANAL
li<% 1,. Stone Writes Interestingly of
Canal Trip and Life in Uncle
Sam's Navy
Claude I. Stone this week received
an Interesting letter from his
brother, Lee Leonard Stone, one of
the first Pullman boys to enlist In
the service after the United States
had entered the war. Stone left Pull
man April 12 and was for several
months stationed at Bremerton. He
was assigned to the hospital corps,
aboard the U. S. S. Great Northern.
and left Bremerton January 15 for
New York. Extracts from his letter
are as follows:
Our trip around to New York was
quite enjoyable for we got a chance
to see the much-talked-about Pana
ma canal. The country around the
canal is beautiful. They were hav
ing their summer there at the time
we were there, so of course every
thing was in its most beautiful stage.
Panama City itself is surely a typ
ical Spanish city, with its narrow
streets and its Panamaian people,
some of whom would just as soon
stick a knife In a fellow's backbone
as not.
in Panama City we were only
given one day of liberty and of
course we did not get much of a
course we did not get much of a
chance to look the town over as all
wished to, but nevertheless we had
a chance to see a good part of it all.
A person can not half describe it
on paper. One can not get a good
idea of the wonderful work unless
he can go there and see it as it is.
Panama zone is 10 miles wide, five
miles on either side of the canal. It
is somewhere about 38 or 40 miles
long.
In the middle of the zone there is
a largo artificial lake. To construct
this lake there were two small vil
lages to cover. The U. S. bought
these from the natives, then the low
er end of the valley was filled in, the
water was turned in and small moun
tains, forests and these two towns
were completely inundated.
At the time the government was
building the canal there were dif
ferent things to combat. First the
mosquitoes, which wore killed off
by natives going over each square
foot of the surface with spraying
guns and spraying in all some 400
square miles of growing weeds and
bushes.
Some people think it is only a mat
ter of a couple of hours to get
through the canal, but it took us
from 6:00 o'clock in the morning uti
till 3:00 that afternoon to go from
Balboa to Colon, and they say we
got through faster than most of the
ships do.
We left Colon that night and were
sailing at top speed by the next, morn
ing. On the 6th we stopped at
Charleston, S. ('., for about 10 hours,
but did not get liberty, as we only
stopped for oil.
The 10th of February we landed
in New York harbor, colder than the
dickens, too, for we liked to have
burned up in Panama and then to
come up in this country where it is
five below most of the sime— some
difference, l claim.
CARD OF THANKS

thanks to the many kind friends and
neighbors who assisted and com foil
