FORMER HtPPNER BOY
A FIRST LIEUTENANT
Hcppner Blackman Will Head One
OF Five Texas National Guard
Companies Organizing.

Henry Blackman writes up from
Portland this week that his eldest
son, Heppner Blackman has been
appointed a first lieutenant of the
National Guard of one of the COM
panies forming three regiments Of
Texas National Guard. These regi-
ments are under the authority of
the War Department and the age of
those enlisting are from II to As,
so Hep was eligible. When the reg
iments are completed, which is ex-
pected to be in about 60 days, they
pected to be in about so days, they
will be federalized and become a
part of the regular army and be as
signed to border duty or patrol on
the Rio Grande line between Tex
as and Mexico. This will relieve the
soldiers, regulars, who are now
there and these will be sent over to
France, so Mr.. Blackman under
stands.
These new regiments of infantry
will get intensive training on the
border for year, and they in turn
will be sent to France, should the
war last.
Mr.. Blackman now has all his
boys in the service, and states that
he is proud to be able to make this
announcement.
a clipping from the. Fort Worth
Texas, paper which Mr.. Blaokman
forwarded to us also, is in explana
tion of these new army formations
and is rs follows:
Captains and first lieutenants for
rhe five companies of infantry for the
Texas National Guard to be organ.

GUNNER ''0vER THERE"
Emery Hiatt Pulls Trigger of Big
Gun Dealing Death to the Huns.

Johnnie Hiatt is in receipt of a
letter from his brother, Emery, who
is now on the firing line in Franco.
The letter was written on the 14th
of June, and we make few quota
tions therefrom.
"These few lines leave me fine
and dandy. | am at the front now
and rather like it. 1t is quite ex.
citing here, especially when the Ger
man shells get to bursting around
us. They gave us lively reception
the night we came in, but all kept
quite cool for the first time under
fire. II have got used to the shoot
ing from both sides now unless the
German shells get to coming too
close and then we hit our dugouts
which are quite comfortable and
safe, even from the enemies heavy
guns.
I'VE are having fine weather here
but 1t was hot coming in. We came
on fiat cars and it was pretty COO
nights. The Red Cross girls met us
at three different towns and served
us with good old American hot
coffee, which was mighty good.
"Some of the towns around here
are all shot to pieces and are terri
BILE looking sights.
''I am No. l gunner on the regular
gun crew and every time pull thu
trigger | pray that we kill buncl

CONCERNING SUGAR

The renewed submarine activity
on this side of the Atlantic does not
favor an increased supply of sugar.
We are now dependent upon Cuba
almost wholly for sugar. Shipments
can noe be made to any consider
able amount while the submarine
menace continues. This means that
we must be exceedingly careful in
the use Of sugar. The Food Admin
istration has bbeen very liberal in
the allowance for harvest crews, al
lowing twice as much to each men,
Der of harvest crew as to persons
not engaged in harvest work. Not
withstanding this liberal allowance,
some of the farmers are asking for
more sugar, claiming that 1t is i'm
possible to get along with the al
lowance. The prospect is that it
may be necessary to get along with
less. French laborers are allowed
only one eighth as much as is al
lowed to our harvest hands. We
ought to be able to meet the con-
ditions here when our allies are
limited to so little.
The family allowance is continued
at three pounds per person per
month, but the people are urged to
lower that if possible, and many are
doing so. The late report of the
Food Administration shows that the
American people have done wonders
in food saving, but we may be asked
to do more. 1t may mean incon-
venience and some additional cost,
but the time has come for every
American to prove that he is 100 per
cent American or be classed as a
Stacker. Let us measure up on the
sugar question.

NOT Be KEPT DOWN
Hamilton JOhnstone Writes Concern.
ing Heppner's Future.

This paper is in receipt of the fol-
lowing short communication from our
good friend, Hamilton w. Johnstone,
of Portland. Mr.. Johnstone will be
remembered by all our people for his
splendid assistance during the put
ting over of the Second Liberty Loan,
and it was doubtless due to his eff
forts to large extent that our coun-
ty went over the top in such good
shape. He is man of splendid
speaking ability, of very pleasant per-
sonality, and while here made for
himself many warm friends. His let
ter reveals the strong attachment lie
formed for the Heppner people. We
wish to say to Mr.. tombstone, also
that we agree with him In the state
ment hat you cant keep either good
men or good towns down, and Hepp-
ner Will come up from under these
calamities a better and more beauti
full little city, Mr.. Johnstone's let
ter follows:
Portland, Oregon, July Is, 1918
Mr.. Vawter Crawford,
Editor The Times,
Heppner, Oregon.
Dear Mr.. Crawford:
When | was permitted to cooper
ate with the citizens of Morrow Coun
ty in the work of the Second Liberty
Loan drive, there was afforded me al
opportunity to see the splendid ener
gy and patriotism of the people o
Heppner, and to become keenly inter
eSted in their progress and welfare
My sympathy for losses recently sus
tanned from the elements of fire an,
water, as reported in your issue 0
July llth, is, however, tempered witt
admiration for the courage witt
which the brave men and women O
your fine, American spirited commun
ity have met the blows of fate.
cannot write my feeling of sym
pathy to each of the good people O
Heppner who so recently showed m
appreciated courtesy, but | can tel
you that throughout the state ther
is a conviction that Heppner will ris
better and more firmly fixed in per
manent prosperity than ever before
You cannot keep either good men o
good towns down.
Very sincerely yours,
HAMILTON TOMBSTONE.

CONTRIBUTES TO
FIRE RELIEF FUND

The following is the list of sub
scribers to the fund for the relief
of the Heppner fire sufferers. The
total amount raised was $2454.00.
and we are informed by the commit
tee in charge that the entire amount
has been disbursed. Eight parties
received the sum of 5000, five the
sum of $100 and seven the sum Of
$50. The list of those receiving aid
is in the hands of the committee, and
anyone interested can see the same,
but owning to the fact that a number
of those accepting aid desire no pub
licity, the committee have decided to
withhold the names of all those re-
ceiying aid.
In justice to the committee in
charge it is only due them to say
that they did the best they could to
hand out the aid where it was need
ed, and if there were any who should
have been helped, the cases did not
come to their attention. The list of
donors is as follows:

Editor Gazette-Times,

Dear Sir.
Miss Maude E. Woodlands, of San
Mateo, and Mr. Harry E. Wright, for.
merly of Heppner, were married al
San Jose last Tuesday.
Harry evidently intended to keeI
this secret from Mr.. HendricsoI
and I for neither of us had been in
formed of his intentions so you may
imagine my surprise when, on reach
ing our room Sunday evening, | was
informed by our landlady that Mr.
Wright and wife had been there 6
couple of days before. l met Harry
here in San Pedro this morning ant
his bushes substantiated her infor
nation.
Harry is now bound for Mexican
ports and Balboa, Panama and ex
poets to be gone at least two months
while Mrs. Wright waits at San Fran
cisco for her wandering boy to re
turn home.
| am at loss as to what will be
come of my spare moments when il
Frisco, for when Harry, Ellis and
met we usually celebrated by talkin,
about old times in Heppner. Now
will near nothing but the old stor
that newly married men tell thei
bachelor friends. My one consola
tion is that some day they will be gen
erous enough to invite me to dinner
Was sorry to hear of Heppner's re
cent loss on account Of fires and sin
cerely hope that she will soon be re
built.

MAYOR WILSON TO OPEN ENGINEERS
 EXHIBIT TONIGHT
Arrangements Complete for Largest Mechanical Ex- hibition Ever Held
 In State.

Arrangements have been completed for the opening tonight of what promises to be the largest mechani- cal exhibition in conjunction with the annual convention of the New Eng land States branch of the National Engineers association and the Com mercial Engineers association at the State Armory on Main street. Mayor Clifford E. Wilson will press the but ton promptly at 8 o'clock and formal ly welcome the delegates and their friends to the city extending to them the hospitality of its people.
 The interior of the armory has been compeltely transformed with decora- tions and 13S booths, each containing some form of fuel saving device, have been installed. Some of these will be shown in operation in charge of cap able demonstrators who will not. only show the workings of the appliances but will explain every detail to those who are curious. Among the con- trivances shown will be automatic stokers, fuel gas analyzers, fuel gas recording apparatus and other things necessary to the modern power plant and heating system.
 It is estimated by the local commit tee that there will be nearly 1000 en- gineers with their families and friends in the city today and various forms Of entertainment have been arranged for their benefit. Among these will be trip about the city in automobiles with a tour of inspection in some of the factories which will be interesting to the visitors. All the points of in- terest will be shown the guests and a trip through the parks will be among the features.
 Besides Mayor Wilson there will be several other speakers. c. S. Water man of the Power and Electrical bureau at Washington, D. C., who is conversant with the requirements of the government regarding the con- servation of fuel, especially coal, will endeavor to make the government needs clear to those who do not req lize this fact. MT. Waterman will also tell what will be done with the coal that is saved and show that it will be put to a gOOQ use III assisting III W1n- ming the war.
 Judge Walsh of Norwalk will also be one of the speakers at the opening and those who know him know what to expect. The Judge Is too well known to require any comment on his abil- ity as speaker but he will come pre- 1 pared to tell some facts in connection with what the engineers can do for | the country during the war times. l There will be no admission, all ex- penses being defrayed by the associa- tions under whose auspices the affair is being held. On Saturday as a fit 1 ting conclusion to the event the en- gineers will enjoy field day at Lord. ship Park with banquet in the even. ing. An extensive program of game: has been arranged among whcih vii probably be a ball game between tht
 bachelors and benedicts. This will bt
