UNION PACIFIC ISSUES FINE
BOOKLETS.

We received this week two booklets
from the Union Pacific System which
from the standpoints of Typography
and truthfullness of statement eclipse
ANYTHING Of the nature we have ever
seen. "The Great Pacific Northwest
and Alaska" is an embossed d-cover
booklet of 4S pages and has an abun-
dance of excellently reproduced pho
tographs Of the scenic wonders of this
great region and these, with the as
sistance of the accompanying word
pictures should surely create strong
desire among Fasteners to visit the
great Northwest. "Sights and Scenes
along the Union Pacific System" is
issued "for the purpose of aiding
travellers in selecting the most salts
factory route getween the East and
West, and to provide handbook for
use enroute by passengers over the
lines of the Union Pacific System"
This booklet takes up each route from
the East to the West and tells of its
scenic advantages. These two publ
cations will probably do much toward
directing tourist travel toward the
Northwest.

The National Hughes Alliance, as
the name implies, is a nationwide
movement. 1t was first started in
1908 in the state of New York when
Chas. E. Hughes ran for governor of
that state. The movement was start
ed by friends of Mr.. Hughes and since
that time has grown until at the pres
ent time it has reached its growth
of national size.
Chas. E. Hughes was brought forth
into the political field entirely free
from any of his own wishes or de-
sires. 1t was the call Of the nation
for leader and he was picked as the
logical leader Oregon stood out
prominently from the first as
Hughes state and this stand has been
greatly augmented since the progress
i've party in this state are throwing
their support to Mr.. Hughes.
Throughout Morrow county the
National Hughes Alliance will 60,
and every precinct will have an op-
portunity to get into active working
order in a few days.

"a CALL TO ARMS"

To the Citizens of Eastern Oregon
Our government has made the "Call
to Arms" of 100000 men. Oregon's s
proportion of this call is approx.
mately 1000. Shall this State be
found wanting? Is it possible there
are not 1000 young men in this State
with enough patriotism, and love of
country to Immediately fill this Q no.
ia?
Do the Stars and Stripes not mean
as much to the young men of this
State as they do to the young men of
other States?
Our sister State on the north has
furnished her entire quota under
1.-THE Call" State pride alone should
be an incentive to fill our ranks, not
only this, but local pride should be
considered.
How many men has your city and
community furnished?
regret to say that Eastern Oregon
is far short of all other sections in
this state in responding to this
Call"
Many men say, "If there was really
need Of me, would gladly go--as
soon as there is something doing
down on the border" l will enlist"
1t is not for us to say when we will
enlist. Our country has called, and
1t is up to the citizens of this State
to respond, for, when there is "some-
thing doing" will be too late.
In the name of our great United
States, the Stars and Stripes-which
we all love-in the name Of the State
of Oregon, of which we are all proud,
and lastly in the name Of your local
city and community, you are called
upon to enlist in your country's ser.
vice.

.HEPPNER TO HAVE
$500 NATATOR|UM
". o. Minor, Pioneer Stockman, Will
Begin Building of Swimming Pool
In Near Future-Has Gone To
Portland To Complete
Arrangements.

A natatorium costing approximate
ly $500 will be built by w. o. Minor.
Mr.. Minor went to Portland Tuesday
afternoon to complete the detail ar
rangements and to get the necessary
material for the building. The nata-
torium will be situated on Mr.. Minors
Chase street lot.
The swimming pool will be "a by
60 fet in size. This is larger than the
pools found at the average health re-
sorts. Mr.. Minor has spent consi-
derable time the past few years at
different resorts and has made
study of swimming pools. The new
pool will be larger than the one at
Shippard Springs.
The main structure will be of con-
crete, four feet below the ground sur
face and four feet above. The depth
of water at the low end will be three
feet, gradually sloping off to eight
feet at the deep end Water for the
pool will be supplied from the mill
ditch of the Heppner Milling Com
pany and the entire equipment will
be the most modern and approved
style. A steam boiler will be in
stalled for heating the water and
overhead tanks for the shower baths
will be provided. One of the iron
clad rules of the new natatorium will
require every bather to take show
er bath before entering the main
pool. A number of showers will be
put in.
According to the plans of Mr.. MIN
or, there will be twelve dressing
rooms on each side of the pool.
balcony will be built over the dress
ing rooms for the convenience of spe-
ctatOrs.
Mr.. Minor expects to begin work
at once on the natatorium unless
something unforeseen arises.

ANNOUNCEMENTOFTHE
OPENING OF SCHOOL

The Heppner schools will open Sep
tember IS. This is one week later
than usual, the postponment being
made on account of the late harvest
and the time of holding the county
fair. Parents are hereby requested
to send their children on the above
date or as soon thereafter as possible
in order to gain the advantages of an
early enrolment. The prospects for
a good school year are encouraging
An excellent corps of teachers has
been secured, much new equipment
purchased and, no doubt, the coming
school year will be better than the
last. Foreign pupils are welcome. No
tuition will be charged individually,
the same Is paid by the district from
which you enroll, unless your home
district maintains a standard high
school. Attention will be given to Sc
curing rooms and board for all out-of-
town students. The teachers will as
far as possible look after the conduct
of all nonresident students, but OBJ
servation teaches that there are times
in ever young persons life when he
or she needs the intelligent sympathy
love and counsel of mother or father
or both to guide, therefore, parents
are advised either to move to Heppner
to provide home influences for their
children while attending school or to
keep in close touch with their social
life while here thru teachers and
friends.
To the young men and women
thinking of attending high school this
year, we wish to call special attention
to the superior advantages offered by
the Heppner High School. With its
numerous courses Of instruction, fine
library, extensive labratories and
modern improvements it is easily the
leading high school of this section of
the state. 1t certainly will be to your
advantage to avail yourselves of these
things. 1t costs no more to attend
here than elsewhere. To get much out
of life that is really worth while or to
become in any degree an adequate
participator in the social life of the
state one needs at least a thorough
high school education. Don't be mis-
lead by the prejudiced or uniformed,
education pays not only in dollars and
cents but also in the far more import
ant regard of developing personality
and broadening the mind thus con-
tributing to ones happiness by enabl-
ing him more fully to live.
The attendance in the high school
last year was 40 per cent greater than
the year before. This year ought to
show an equal increase. Enroll as
early as possible. All eligible stud
ents are welcome.
Sincerely yours,
H. H. HOFFMAN,
superintendent.
