GENERAL PERSHING SAYS
1900 Men Plus the 'Y' Equals 1000. '

To the Offices of the National War
Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. in
New York there came in May an
entirely unsolicited letter from the
Headquarters Of General Pershing.
Contained in it were these quota
lions:
"Give us nine men end the Y NJ.
c. A., and we will have a more
effective fighting force than as
though we had ten mel without the
Y. NJ. C. A."
If their estimate is correct-and
headquarters surely ought to know
then the Y. NJ C. A.. is at this
moment adding 10%-100,O0O men
to the fighting power of our armies
in France.
Lieut.. Colonel E. S. Wheeler, in a
letter to Gen. Pershing, said: There
Is no one factor contributing more to
the morale Of the American army in
France than the Y. M. C. A. The
value Of this organization cannot be
overestimated. When come to the
Y. M. c. A. huts and see our men
night after night and one day after
another in their spare moments en-
joying the privileges created by a
corps of self-sacrfficing Red 'Tria gle
workers, l know that they are better
men and better fighters for so doing.
GveAme nine hundred men who have
the Y. M. c. A. rather than one
thousand who have none, and I will
have better fighters every time.1
General Pershing directed that
Colonel Wheeler's letter be sent to
the Y. M. c, A~officials, and himself
added this comment:
THE conclusions and opinions of
Lieut.. Colonel Wheeler are concurred
in by these headsuartersN

MAKE INSPECTION Q
4 TRIP TO COAL MINES

H. V. Gates, A. l.. Ayers, o. V.
Gates and S. A., Pattison made a
trip to the coal mines last Sunday
for the purpose Of inspecting the
work which has been .. done in de-
veloping the coal prospects there.
H. v. Gates, who is president Of the
Heppner Light & Water Co., has a
three-year lease on this property and
has done considerable development
work there; enought to convince him
that there is coal in abundance
But it would take more money to put
the mines on a producing basis than
his short lease would justify him in
expending, and unless he is able to
secure an extension of his lease it is
not probable that the work will be
continued. The development of these
mines would be the solution of Hepp-
ner's fuel problem, for with a
little repair work and grading on the
Willow creek road, one truck with
trailer would be able to keep the
town supplied with coal. And good
road to the mines would also open
up for market a great amount of
timber suitable for fuel.
| Mr.. Gates is also interested in the
flow of water in upper Willow creek
and for several years past has, been
making readings of the volume of
water at point we'll in the timber
He has not announced anything
definitely concerning his interest in
this regard, but it is pleasant sup
position that he is considering the
proposition of furnishing the city
with water from the mountains

ceived at Boche bullet through the

pltal ever since. lie is now getting
along fine but expects to be confined
in the hospital for about eleven
weeks yet. He was one of the first
boys from Heppner to go across the
water, and no doubt saw great
deal Of fighting before being
wounded

Rhea Creek Farmer Missing.

Glenn Hayes, farmer on Rhea
creek has been missing since Wed
nesday noon. Mr.. Hayes had come
to Heppner in the morning to pur-
chase supplies and is said to have
started home just before noon. When
he did not arrive at the ranch later
in the day Mrs. Hayes started an in
vestigation AS yet he has not been
found. 1t is possible that he heard
of some harvest hands, of which he
is in need of several, in some other
part of the county and started out to
secure them, leaving word with some
one who failed to deliver it, Or pos
sibly he had car trouble some dis
tance from telephone and has not
been able to notify his family of his
whereabouts.

there Is not a single case of small
pox in the army which did not have
its origin outside of the camp. This
is true of typhoid fever and other
diseases which before have reaped
such a harvest in our army. Capt.
Russell explained the nature and
treatment of measles and pneumonia,
how they are transmitted, and how
they may be avoided. Trench fever
was dwelt upon and precautionary
measures against this terror of the
trenches were explained.
The better part OF Captain Rus
selPs address was taken up with
discussion of venereal diseases, and
he told of the wonderful work being
done in the National Army in over
coming these. When Camp Lewis
was established and the first draft
contingent arrived, the proportion of
venereal cases was so in A thousand.
At the present time the proportion is
but in thousand, and it is steadily
growing less. Now the United States
army has a smaller proportion than
any other army keeping statistics
The Captain explained the nature
and effects of each disease and the
methods used in segregating and
treating the cases at the camps.
Altho Captain Russell's address
was intended mainly for the regis
trants, it contained many things of
interest and instruction for all Of
his audience, and it would be hard
to estimate the amount If good it
did
The meeting, held under the
auspices of the Council of Defense,
S. E. VanVactor, chairman of the
local County Council, being chair
man of the meeting, was a part of a
campaign of education now Being
woged by the military authorities in
regard to military life and health
conditions in and out of the army.

.QuARANT|hfs CASES
Of SMALL P0X

DR.. N. E. Winnard was called tc
the Joe Batty place on Eight Mile
last Saturday to investigate a re-
ported case of small pox He found
on his arrival, that all the members
of the Batty family had had the dis
;ase and that it had spread to some
of the neighbors, Ray Young having
been confined to his bed. DR.. Win
nard quarantined both the Batty
family and the Young family and is
keeping a close tab on the neighbor-
hood to see that no more cases de-
velop which are not reported. The
disease was brought to this county
by daughter of Mr.. Batty who had
been visiting in The Dalles with an
aunt who had the small pox while
she was there. The girl was let out
of quarantine too soon, and two days
after her arrival home she was taken
sick.

SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE

1t has perhaps been an oversight
on the part of Heppner people, but
nevertheless there is serious need
that should be attended to at once.
Tourists are passing through the
town by the dozens every day and
these people can find no accomoda-
tions here at all. There are nc
public toilets or ladies rest rooms
since the fire destroyed the hotel,
and it can readily be seen what an
inconvenience this is to those who
Gravel and visit the. city. .t
We know that this has been an
oversight and call attention to the
matter at this time that steps may
be taken at once to provide what is
necessary. 1t will be greatly appre-
ciated by the traveller and will save
our town a lot of unnecessary
3ussing.

officer, and the health committee IF

week making a sanitary inspection
Of the city. Cesspools, sewers and
open privies have received their

plorable The breeding places f..
flies and vermin are almost innumer-
able and a great many of them are
exceedingly dangerous to the reJ, =

cleanup Of all unsanitary places in
the city and to institute measures
looking to the betterment of sanitary
conditions in the town. Just what
