HOOD RIVER MEN
ARE READY TO GO

Roy D. Smith, a veteran of the Spanish-American war, who participated in numerous battles in the Philippine Islands, Saturday declared himself ready to answer the call of his country. Mr. Smith, before the Spanish-American war, served a term as an enlisted man in the 23rd Infantry Regiment of the regular army. When the war broke out he re-enlisted with his old regiment.

Dr. V. R. Abraham, county coroner and county physician who holds the commission of first lieutenant in the Medical Reserve Corps, says that he will be ready to leave on a 24 hour notice.

E. S. Olinger, despite the fact that he will soon have reached the age of three score and 10, Saturday expressed the wish that he might be accepted for active military service. Mr. Olinger, a native of the Waldo Hills near Salem, was a member of the Salem Volunteer fire department when a young man. After coming to Hood River over 25 years ago, he was an officer of the old Company D., Third Regiment.

Jack Anderson, formerly a student of the local high school, who is now a member of Troop A, Oregon Cavalry, was here over the week end visiting Hood River friends.
