that George Hogriever started
playing ball, but his first real en-
gagement came in 1888, when he
signed with the Hamilton, O.,

end of the season of 1889. He
went to Ottunwa, Ia, in 1890,

Hogriever went to Appleton,

Cincinnati for time and return

was with Des Moines. He was
sold to Pueblo in 1908. He went
to Lincoln in 1909. At the end of

II. R. H. s. ALUMNI
HOLD SESSION

The High School Alumni met in the
Assembly hall Of the high school build
ing for the ffth time Wednesday even
ing, December q.
The first half Of the evening was
taken up with election of officers for
the coming year and a general discus
sion Of plans for the association.
Professor J o. Mclaughlin gave an
interesting talk on the purpose of
alumnis in general and the II. r. H. S.
Alumni in particular, that was appre-
ciated By everyone. A "Reminiscences
Party" is probably what a meeting of
this kind means to the outsider, and
while there is a certain amount Of
stories Of old times. the main purpose
of the Alumni is to spur on and help
keep up the interest Of the students
who are now filling our palces in the
old school.
Ferdinand C. Struck, now Instructor
in the Tacoma High School. in his
talk, cited the fact, that, compared
with other high schools Of Oregon our
own is woefully behind in gymnasium
equipment and sorely in need of ar
athletic field If property owners
could only be made to realize that the
SO, 900 now lying in the bank at per
cent interest could as easily be draw
ing 10 or Is per cent interest by shap-
ing into material for building strong,
healthy bodies for their boys and girls,
it would serve a much better purpose
than in its present state. If an
athletic field is out of the question, at
least properly equipped gymnasium
should have its place-where girls as
well as boys may have the privilege of
developing their bodies for it is quite
as essential if not more so, that the
body be as well trained as the brain.
The retiring president. Burleigh
Cash, Of the University of Oregon,
continued along the same line, saying
that he, too. had noticed the lack of
equipment in the high school and
hoped there could be found way to
bring about the change that would
fulfill the crying need.
After delicious refreshments were
served and a short time spent in social
enjoyment, the meeting adjourned.
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows: Grace Edgington,
president; John Copper, vice presi-
dent; Nettie Allen, secretary; Roger
w. Moe, treasurer; Will Cass, ser
geant-at-arms with the provision
that he build the fires)

". c. 7. U. Notes.

The force Of the old German proverb,
Bier macht DUNN, which, trans
lated, means Beer makes you
stupid, is being brought home to the
German people by Kaiser Wilhelm
himself, says the Rev. J. f. Dickie,
founder and pastor emeritus Of the
American church in Berlin, and who
has been leeturing in the United
States on what the German govern
ment does for good citizenship. Mr..
Diekie made a close study Of social and
industrial conditions in the empire
during bis stay there.
1he illustrious William l., grand
father Of the present Kaiser, once said
that Germany's greatness was due to
Bibles, Bismark and beer. That the
Kaiser does not agee with his grand
sire, IN one of the particulars, is eX
emplified by the fact that he is waging
a vigorous campaign in the fatherland
against the immoderate use of the
malt beverage. In one of his recent
speeches to midshipmen, at Kiel, he
advocated total abstinanee.
At the instance of the Kaiser, says
Mr.. Dickie, large Russian .sam0yard
have been placed in the army, where
the men are allowed to slake their
thirst with tea, in place of the foam
ing stein Of beer, a custom followed
for centuries by fighting men of the
empire. Mr. Dickie says that many
of the soldiers have come to like the
tea better than the beer The Kaiser,
he says, is also recommending the use
of Gretzer beer, which is about as in
toxicatng as ginger ale, as substi-
tute for lager beer.
The Kaiser has also urged students
at the University Of Berlin to adopt
American university athletics as a
more sautary form of activity out of
study hours than the consumption of
beer in the cafes of the Inter den
Linden.
Change in the attitude of the Ger
man people toward overdrinking is
seen on all sides, says Mr.. Dekie,
mentioning as a case in point abolition

floors of factories and workshops.

can church IN Berlin, twenty years ago,

BIG SHIPMENT OF
 IRON VALVES TO FAR OFF ROUMANIA
West End Plant of Crane Valve Co. Shows It's
 Fettle

Through an immense export ship ment just made by the Crane Valve Company's West End plant, Bridge ports name as a manufacturing cen ter will be carried many thousand miles, to Roumania, on the Black Sea. The shipment consisted of five car- loads of large iron valves, and is one of the biggest single export orders ever executed by the concern, the to- tai weight of the goods being 24o,00O pounds.
 The order was received about the middle of January, and specified 120 4 inch, 230 5 inch. 12O 6 inch, 40 ' inch and 25 inch extra heavy dou- ble disc Hanged gate valves. for use under hot oil pressure of 100 pounds. Although there were many special features about the order, the valves were manufactured, tested and ship ped in quite a short period, three car loads having gone forward to the steamer at New York Wednesday and two on Thursday.
 The shipment Is consigned to Con- stantza. a port on the Black Sea in Roumania, by way of Rotterdam, and 1t is apparent that the valves are to fields there. They are composed of metals specially adapted to withstand the corroding and eating effects of the hot oil. and were tested under IS" pounds steam and 300 pounds water pressure. They are very strong and heavy, the inch valves weighing 600 pounds apiece. Each valve was care fully boxed to protect it on its long journey.
 The securing of this large export order in the face of active competi- ffon, and the promptness and ease with which it was executed, are causes of much pleasure to the officials of -khe Crane Valve Company.
