Letters from England and Guam Reach Oregon Readers
A letter from Ray E. Laker in England reports the country is pretty but money scarce as he encloses King George’s greeting to American soldiers. Another note describes A J Kavanaugh’s navy nephew M K Tur in Guam, with tales of sailors, a native-language caution, and a claim that eastern Oregon would outgrow Texas as a wheat region. A third item recalls Lester, chief teotmun of the 3rd Nane chun, receiving a letter home about transfer to another ship as wartime events unfold. Captain Frank Bertholet earns a lieutenant’s rank after service near West Point and continues duties in the West as drought and defense news arrive from Harney and Lake counties.
