SOLDIER LIFE ON
BANKS OF RIO
GRANDE
NOT ALTOGETHER PLEASANT BUT
PATRIOTIC SONS ARE CHEERFUL AND WILLING
HOWARD GATES WRITES ENTERAININGLY OF CONDITIONS AT CAMP NOGALES
Nogales, Arizona,
Aug. 12, 1916.
Editor Gazette:—Perhaps our friends would be interested in the Sunday services of the army. Each regiment has its chaplain, who is a commissioned officer. Some of them are Catholic priests, others are protestant ministers. I never heard of any other kind of an army chaplain, and I suppose the Scientists and Spiritists are left out in the cold.
Every Sunday morning at church call the first sergeants form the companies and march the men to the church door; then they are at liberty to enter or go away. Our services are held down on the drill ground under a small grove of handsome black walnut trees. Our band takes the place of the pipe organ. We are fortunate in having a good double octette from the enlisted men. Last Sunday they sang the good old songs "All Hall the Power of Jesus' Name," "Nearer my God to Thee," and "Blest be the Tie That Binds." The chaplain, a good is considerably deeper at times. Along the river are flats covered with handsome groves of willows and cottonwoods. The water for Nogales is pumped beside the river and taken over the hills to town in a pipe line. The boys came back over the ridge road, the finest natural road I ever saw. It follows the top of a divide for about four or five miles. The view of mountain, river and valley from it is magnificent. On three sides at once we saw brilliant electrical storms.
All is quiet here though a sniper hit a regular in the ankle a few days ago.
The health of the men is not very good at present. Many are troubled with dysentery from the change in water and food from what they are accustomed to. Some of the companies have a number of cases of "pink eye."
A peculiar thing is the number of men that apepar to be sick, yet we cannot find anything the matter with them beyond hysteria and homesickness. There are a number of malingers too, who are faking in an effort to be discharged.
There are troops here from Utah, Idaho, California, Pennsylvania and Connetcutt, besides some regulars. A large hospital is just being completed. It will take twenty surgeons, a hundred and twenty hospital corps men and forty-five female nurses, to man it. Strange as it may seem the enlisted men do not like having the female nurses around. In addition each regiment has its surgeons and hospital corps detachment who take sick call and treat all cases that are not sick enough to be sent to the base hospital. The bane of our existence is making reports. There are only 98 kinds of reports that a hospital may be called on to make.
The hospital corps have been issued their revolvers. These with the bolo are the only weapons carried by the

as you never thought could be is yours to command quick as you buy some Prince Albert and fire-up a church door; then they are at liberty to enter or go away. Our services are held down on the drill ground under a small grove of handsome black walnut trees. Our band takes the place of the pipe organ. We are fortunate in having a good double octette from the enlisted men. Last Sunday they sang the good old songs "All Hall the Power of Jesus' Name," "Nearer my God to Thee," and "Blest be the Tie That Binds." The chaplain, a good old Methodist Sky Pilot, gave us a talk about the future heavenly home.
It may be a long ways from church services to horses and mules, but it may be interesting to note that a couple of train loads have arrived for the use of the militia troops, though none have been delivered to the California troops. It seems strange to see all the horseless cavalry around here. I am entitled to a horse because of my rank, but I am getting impatient and maybe I will buy a Mexican canary or "pagamiente." One of the boys bought one yesterday and staked him out on the hill near us. He rendered officers' call several times during the night.
Some of the detachment hiked through the hills to the Santa Cruz river last week. The road runs through a side canyon and up over a divide and down another canyon for about six miles to the river. It was very pretty as the hills are all covered with green grass from the summer rains and there are many small trees. It must be remembered that while this is arid country, it is not truly desert. The river itself is a couple of hundred of feet wide, with a stream one hundred and fifty feet wide, but only a foot deep. Indications are that it listed men do not like having the female nurses around. In addition each regiment has its surgeons and hospital corps detachment who take sick call and treat all cases that are not sick enough to be sent to the base hospital. The bane of our existence is making reports. There are only 98 kinds of reports that a hospital may be called on to make.
The hospital corps have been issued their revolvers. These with the bolo are the only weapons carried by the hospital corps. We are supposed to be perfectly peaceful and harmless. I suppose it is a question whether these weapons will be more dangerous for the Mexicans than to our own troops until we get accustomed to toting them.
It is said that we will go on a ten day hike to Ft. Huachua for practice on the target range next month. One regiment has already gone.
By the time this is in print we will probably be on our new camp ground a couple of miles farther down the canyon. I suppose this will be published in Mexico City as a great retreat forced by the Mexican troops. The new ground is much larger and supposedly healthier. There we will have screened kitchens and dining rooms. Our tents will be floored and the sides boarded up in anticipation of the winter snows. All preparations are being made for a long stay and many of us do not think this is going to be any ninety-day picnic.
Best regards to all of our friends.

tobacco enjoyment
as you never thought could be is yours to command quick as you buy some Prince Albert and fire-up a pipe or a home-made cigarette!
Prince Albert gives you every tobacco satisfaction your smoke-appetite ever hankered for. That's because it's made by a patented process that cuts out bite and parch! Prince Albert has always been sold without coupons or premiums. We prefer to give quality!
PRINGE ALBERT
the national joy smoke
has a flavor as different as it is delightful. You never tasted the like And that isn't strange, either.
Buy Prince Albert everywhere tobacco is sold in toppy red bags, 5c; tidy red tins, 10c; handsome pound and half-pound tin humidors—and that corking fine pound crystal-glass humidor with sponge-moistener top that keeps the tobacco in such clever trim—always!
Men who think they can't smoke a pipe or roll rette can smoke and will smoke if they use Albert. And smokers who have not yet given P. A. out certainly have a big surprise and a lot of enjoyment coming their way as soon as they invest in a Prince Albert tobacco will tell its own story!

LOGGING SCENE IN THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
Since Uncle Sam took over the Islands its vast store of rare hardwoods has been opened up and there are now five large modern saw mills operating on the islands of Negros and Luzon. Mancona is the hardest and heaviest of all Philippine woods—the "iron wood" par excellence of the world. First in importance among the forest trees are the dauans from which are cut the Philippine mahogonies of the lumber trade. The wood in its natural color is a reddish brown, and takes stain readily, it is susceptible of a beautiful polish, and is used for every purpose where mahogony finish is required. This is exemplified in a large Los Angeles department store which is finished throughout with Philippine mahogony, all stained to give a uniform color effect, being the largest installation of mahogany in any single establishment in the United States.
Banks and office buildings are being finished in this wood, and it is being used in the more pretentious homes. The Gibbs Lumber company recently furnished Philippine mahogany with which to finish the two main rooms in Prof. E. W. Hauck's home in the Zeyn tract, and some of the rooms in the Pipenbrink house on Lemon and Sycamore streets are to be finished in mahogany.
Under American administration the primeval forest of the Philippines are not being despoiled. They are simply being made to yield up their hoarded riches for the benefit, use and enjoyment of humanity.
CRAVATH COMING WEST
According to news received from Salt Lake City this season will be Gavvy Cravath's last in the big leagues. The star Philadelphia outfielder and sell him to the highest bidder.
Cravath's friends here well know that he despises eastern weather. The closer he can play to Laguna Beach the better pleased he will be.

IN THE MATTER OF THE Estate of Carl Robertson, Deceased No. 7908
NOTICE is hereby given by the undersigned executor of the last will and testament of Carl Robertson, deceased, to the creditors of and all persons having claims against the said deceased, to file them with the necessary vouchers with in ten months after the first publication of this notice in the office of the Clerk of Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Orange, or to exhibit them with the necessary vouchers within ten months after the first publication of this notice to the said executor at the residence of the said deceased, situate on Rose Drive at Yorba-Linda, in the said county of Orange, which place the undersigned se-
cut the Philippine mahogonies of the lumber trade. The wood in its natural color is a reddish brown, and takes stain readily, it is susceptible of a beautiful polish, and is used for every purpose where mahogony finish is required. This is exemplified in a large Los Angeles department store which is finished throughout with Philippine mahogony, all stained to give a uniform color effect, being the largest installation of mahogany in any single establishment in the United States.
As regards the over sea market, the nearest shipping center is Hong Kong, 600 miles from Manila from which the mahogany is distributed to India and China. London and Liverpool take large shipments, they being the largest hardwood markets in the world. Shipments are made to both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States, the latter being by far the largest, and among all the seaports along the Pacific coast, Los Angeles easily takes first place having become the chief distributing center of the west for all Philippine forest products. Tramp steamers regularly bring whole loads of woods at low freight rates, one concern recently receiving half a million feet in one shipment. In the year 1914 Los Angeles received more than 2,000,000 feet. W. W. Milne, of the Philippine Hardwood company, Story building, Los Angeles, has developed this trade to its present proportions.
With cheap ocean freights from sea to sea and no long rail haul at either end, no import or export duties to pay, this wood has to a large extent displaced plain oak and birch and other eastern hardwoods in this maritime primeval forest of the Philippines are not being despolled. They are simply being made to yield up their hoarded riches for the benefit, use and enjoyment of humanity.
CRAVATH COMING WEST
According to news received from Salt Lake City this season will be Gavvy Cravath's last in the big leagues. The star Philadelphia outfielder and home-run getter will be sold to the Pacific Coast League next year, probably to Los Angeles. This was announced by Scout Joe Wolff of the Phillies, who is in Salt Lake. Wolff says that Cravath has refused to play another season in the East and declared that he will quit baseball unless sent to the P. C. L.
Wolff announced that Moran wants to trade his star to Frank Chance for Harry Wolter; failing in that he will
