WALTER HON
ENTERS SERVICE
OF UNCLE SAM
Former Well Known ortherner Tells
of Expedience* In Getting
Into Army.
In a letter addressed to Kennetl
A. Finlaysen, of this city, Waltei
Rowson, former well known residen
of Fairbanks, tells of his experience
in becoming a member of Uncli
Sam’s fighting forces, and at th<
time of writing was awaiting order
for transfer, perhaps to France
Rowson also makes mention of th<
fact that he has become a benedic
since leaving Alaska. He was mar
ried early in the winter at Carmel
by-the-Sea, California, and the pic
ture of the young lady which ac
companied the letter, shows that shi
is both young and beautiful. Mrs
Rowson was with her husband a
the United States flying school a
Austin, Texas, where Rowson was ii
training.
“The end of April, 1917," write!
Rowson, “I was called to Los An
geles for examination for the firsi
officers’ training camp. I was
passed and certified, but somehow
my papers were mislaid and didn’t
turn up until July following—just
in time to send me to the second
training camp. In the meantime
I had joined as a ranker and made
a sergeancy. and I had this in re
serve while trying for a commission
In November I was lucky enough tc
make 1st. lieutenant in the infantry
and was assigned to the 20th regu
lars at Fort Douglas, Utah. Prioi
to this I had volunteered and passed
the preliminary tests for flying ser
vice, but my transfer order didn’t
materialize until January 20, when
I war ordered here (Austin, Texas).
“I have been through the hardest
course of study and hard grind that
has ever come my way, but last
Saturday I finished the last of my
exams and am now awaiting further
orders. These will probably arrive
tomorrow, and may land us any
where. I say us, as my little wife
is with me and quite resolved to
stay by my side until I board a
transport for the other side.’’
Rowson has two brothers in the
war, one of whom, at the time the
letter was written, had just returned
from the Macedonian battlefields a
cripple. “A letter just received
from my sister Eva tells us,” he
writes, “that Bert lies in awful
agony and that it will be months
at best before he can move. His
injury will leave him with one leg
shorter than the other. He was
transferred from the Western front
to Macedonia fifteen months ago.
“Eva’s husband was killed in
France last June. She had a two
months’s old baby and it died .vitnin
a few days of its dad, leaving poor
little Sis in double sorrow. Archie
is still going strong as far as I
know, though I have heard nothiug
direct from him for almost a year
“My cousin, Walter Rowson, was
wounded with the Canadians last
October, but I have heard nothing
of him since seeing the casualty list.
His brother Arnold- is aDo g ling

hear. Walter was a captain at the
time he wrote me last.
“I met a number of Alaskans in
San Francisco last year. Jack Bar
ker was in camp with me and made
a 1st lieutenantcy. Phil Knowlton
formerly head of the Fairbanks high
school, was also there but arrived
late for service with the navy, and
generally met with hard luck. I
ran across him again in Salt Lake,
in civilians, and he was contemplat
ng the air servce. Judge Overfield
attended the first officers’ camp,
but his eves disqualified him. We
were in Los Angeles together on
examination for the f irst camp.
Hunter Scales and wife (formerly
Martha Miller, Fairbanks school
teacher) and Blanch Watson are in
San Francisco. I saw quite a little
of Jack n—*■ during my week-ends
at training camp and early in the
summer Fred Levy and I enjoyed
a few of the sights together. Fred
is married and is in business in
Stockton, Cal.
