Scranton, March 9:?It required only seventeen pages for our Army Correspondent," Mr Archie C Wall, to inform the writer that he had left the training quarters, Columbus, 0, and had reached Angel Island, California, where the several * hundred boys would sail for the I , Philippines and Hawaiian Islands, [ March 5. He describes graphically the trip from Columbus to 'Frisco passing: through twelve States, a distance of 2,980 miles. They were four days and four nights on the special train of thirteen cars (Pull man and dining). How they had short stops in the large cities; passed through Indiana, St Louis, Mo, Illinois, Kansas City, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and California. He picks Indiana for his State, with its broad acres of staples and fenced farms. Indiana and the "Show Me" State raise stock and grain; Colorado has few trees, but good pastures. Here, Mr Wall says, he saw thousands of sheep in herds, in Arizona and New Mexico, which was a curiosity to him. He says that it is mountainous and when you see a level place it is covered with prairie dogs, funny animals to him. The State is populated with Indians and Mexicans and sections are covered with Indian huts?whole villages of them. They stopped at Newton, New Mexico, a fine city, but the most of the State looked like a desert. Very little croife could be raised on account of the sand storms. "You should see those Indians riding from place to place trying to farm, all as busy as could be?this was new to me," said he. "The climate was extremely cold until we reached California, where we saw green grass and fruit trees in full bloom; the climate is warm and pleasant. Angel Island is ll miles across the bay from "'Frisco" and is owned by the Government;' it Is five miles in circumference. On #? ? 4 At Home, or 3 who believe they c -V ?/?

Here we could see San Francisco and the grand exposition lit up by electricity. It was a scene to remember. I intend to go to the exposition. A soldier gets a pass through the gate3. I visited the immigration station, where the Chinese and 'Japs' enter California. "Another bunch of boys arrived yesterday from Ft Jefferson, Kansas ?more than 600. The boat I go on will carry 1,500 or 1,600. We start for Honolulu March 5 and will make it in eight days, if no delay occurs; the distance is 2,190 miles." Archie informs us that he is sleeping in a two-story bunk and "has not fallen out of it yet." The island, with its flowers, pet animals, sea birds, beautiful scenery imprints on one a lasting impression. "School will soon close there and I shall have to begin when I reach my post. I shall go four or six months. I don't know what studies we take, but shall seize ^11 advantages. I am satisfied and 1 enjoying the soldier's life and would not give up my enlistment for the experience already gained. "During the trip by rail, we came through 27 tunnels, from i mile to 1$ miles long. Four men deserted en | route here, but they are expected | to be hauled up, as they could not i carry their names with them. "The boys do their own laundry. "Dr J B Beam, missionary to China, addressed an attentive congregation at the Methodist church last night. He spoke most interestingly of conditions, needs and what the missionaries are doing in China." IMG. Keep Toor Bowels Regular. As everyone knows, the bowels are the sewerage system of the Dody, and it is of the greatest importance that they move once each day.
