on the 3rd Of October at 1880 and
passed the last locks by 1880. 1t was
a. fine trip all the way through. Co.

the first one raises you IS feet and
the second one 35 feet, and when you
pass out on the Atlantic side you are

The 10th of November is being
looked upon as very important date
in the history of H. H. S., this being
the day set for the first football game
of the season, when Heppner High
meets lone High in battle.
To assure the people of our COM
munity that Heppner High has the
same spirit of loyalty as shown be-
fore, "Rooter's Caps" of the beauti-
full High School colors, purple and
gold, are being made. The Sopho-
more girls kindly consented to make
the caps after the cloth was pur-
chased.
October 26 was quite an important
date, especially for the Freshies, this
being the date of their first school
party in H. H. S. All report a very
enjoyable time. We have heard a
| few things about mysterious choco-
late cake, but think they were just
seeing dark objects and were little
worried over getting home safely.
| We were glad to see our friend Ole
Peterson at school yesterday after
noon, Being a graduate of the class
of 1917, Ole has not been with us this
year. He will leave in a few days to
join the colors and wherever he may
be, in the training camps or in the
trenches our thoughts will be of him
and with him and our prayers for h.,
safe return. He favored the student
body Tuesday morning with heart
to heart talk. A pocket booklet Of
snapshots and high school activities
will be presented to Ole as a remem-
brance from the students of Heppner
High.

Besides men for the positions of regular sea men, men with mechanical training are wanted for the machinist corps, cooks and bakers are also wanted.
 The recruiting office of the marines reopened last week. and men are now being received for this popular branch The marine corps is now full, but a few men will be accepted to take the
 
 place of men that are unable to serve
 The National Guard is now being re- cruited through the office of the reg ular army, and Capt T o. Smith has been appointed to assist Captain Hutchinson. When man comes up and states that he wants to join the army. he is asked which branch he prefers and Is given his choice, The men for the National Guard are sent to the camp at Montgomery and the men for the regular army to Fort Ogle- thorpe.
 An hour before the train bearing the new soldiers leaves. Birmingham will give her departing sons a farewell sa : lute. when all whistles in the city will be blown.
