Lieut.. George B. Hunt, member
of the 4th Battalion, 21st Engineers,
operating railroad in France, writes
in a letter to Linus Meredith, that he
was fortunate in being assigned with
this unit as soon as he arrived in
France. and was sent Immediately to
the front, where he took part In the
drive at st. Mihiel, and is now con-
nected with the army of occupation.
I'VE did not have to go back and
do six to twelve weeks in the training
areas as the combatant troops were
required to do before being sent to
the 'front.'" he writes.
1--WE went Immediately to the front
and operated narrow gauge railroads
until the signing of the armistice;
frst being a part of the American
army in the st. Mihiel drive.
"Our boys put on some show here
as you know. They took $4,000 pris-
oners in the first "a hours with only
1000 American casualties) and COM
pletely obliterated the st. Mihiel sal
lent in three days. The Frenchmen
were strong for us after that, as this
was the first show our boys had put
on alone.
sMon Sec was one of the strong po-
sitions to the east of st. Mihiel. This
point fell within the first "a hours OF
the drive and you should have seen
the amount of material captured at
this point Fritz had held Mon Sec
since early in the war, during which
time it had been wonderfully fortified.
The French lost 10000 men in three
days trying to take it. The country
which Fritz held had quite an eleva-
ton from which he commanded the
surrounding country. He also had
narrow gauge railroad running into
the side of the mountain to bring up
supplies. Tunnels ran from one end
of the railroad to the other. Large
rooms had been excavated in the side
of the mountain and thousands Of
officers and troops were Quartered
there. An electric lighting system,
heating plant, telephone system with
large switch board, and hospitals all
located in mountain $50 and 200 feet
under ground. The Crown Prince had
suite of rooms here, with his name
over the door,, However, he must
have left rather hurriedly when he
left about the place, which afterward
decorated our officers quarters.
"After cleaning up the salvage
which our boys had captured, our bat
talon (the 4th) was transferred over
into the Second Army and then began
hauling ammunition and rations to the
front for the second army which was
getting ready to put up little show
and capture Metz. AS you know this
show only got to run for about twelve
hours as Fritz threw up his hands at
HILL and the curtain dropped "fin,"
as the French say.
The 21st engineers are the largest
railroad organization that America
has with the expeditionary forces. 1t
consists of IA companies and $500
hauling men. The regiment is now To-
Gated at Contains, railroad center,
Is miles northwest Of Metz. It takes
$50 men to operate the railroad shop
here. We are operating standard
gage railroad to Metz, Briery-Toul-
cy-Montmeddy and on over to the

ROAD MEETING At
COURT HOUSE TONIGHT

In order to get the matter fully be-
fore the people of the county and
ascertain their full desires, Judge
Campbell has called meeting of the
citizens of the county to be held at
the Court House in Heppner this
evening at s o'clock. 1t is expected
that there will be at least two repre-
sentative citizens from each precinct
in the county, and also that the farm
ers' Union will have delegation
there to represent them. The pur-
pose Is to fully explain the bond issue
and get before the people Of the
county in this way the proposed road
program.
There Is no doubt being expressed
at present with regard to putting
over the bond issue when the elec-
tion is called, however. some things
are necessary to be done preliminary
to calling the election, and one OF
these is to settle where the money
voted Is to be applied. For this
reason 1t is necessary to get in touch
with the various sections of the
county through representatives from
each precinct.
The petitions presented at the
meeting of the county court the pas;
week were not finally acted upon as
they appeared to be faulty In some
technical point, and it is possible they
may have to be circulated again, that
the point in question may be cleared
up.

Farm Bureaus Start Things

Farm bureaus in Oregon study
their own needs and make and direct
their own plans of work, Neither
Washington nor the state agricultural
college attempts to say what lines OF
work-crops, dairying, livestock,
poultry, irrigation and drainage, fruit
growing or plant protection-the
farmers in any community shall
begin and carry on. Both the federal
and the state departments help or
ganize the county and community so
that the things selected by the farm
ers will be done in an organized way,
but the real movement is from the
farm through the college to Wash
ington. Farmers are helped, not
hampered.

Accident Commission
WAVES Payments

The announcement by the indus
trial accident commission that em-
ployers and employees operating un-
der the workmen's compensation
law will be exempt from payment
into the fund for the months of
April, May and June comes at a
most opportune time. 1t relieves
Oregon industry from a burden dur
ing the readjustment period. The
exemption is possible because of
surplus that accumulated in the fund
during the past year. The exempt
ing OF this three-months' period will
mean that no payments will have
been made into the fund by employ
ers and employees for seven Of twelve
months of the fiscal year ending June
80. The effect of these exempted
months is to reduce the rate Of pay
mont made by employers upon their
payrolls to five-twelfths of the base
rate. The exemption just declared
by the commission will relieve en-
ployers from the payment Of ap-
proximately $500, 100000 into the
fund for the months of April, May
and June, the commission having
sufficient funds on hand to pay all
claims during the period.
The recent legislature, at the sug-
gestion of the commission, amended
the compensation law. changing the
method of exemption so as to provide
an annual credit refund to employers
instead of the monthly exemption
system. Under the old law the EN-
ployer had TO have continuous pay
rolls to be entitled to the exemptions
as they were declared, but under the
new law the employer will be given
credit at the end of the year for the
proportion his payments into the
fund bear to the entire amount.
Since the workmen's compensa-
tion law became effective in 1914,
the industrial accident commission
has received from all sources S6,O07,-
O81 which 1t has disbursed in the
course of business at an administra-
tive expense of only 6.17 per cent,
the balance being available for the
payments of claims of workmen in
jured In Oregon industry. During
the year 1918 there were 25,2SS
workmen injured in the state, 1S2
of the accidents being fatal.

City Recorder Gets
Increase In Salary

At the regular meeting of the City
Council on Monday evening, City
Recorder Williams was voted an in
crease of fifteen dollars per month in
salary, and from now on that official
will receive fifty dollars per, for his
services. This action was taken by
unanimous vote of the Council.
Other matters acted on were the pay
ment of current bills against the
city, the acceptance of the new fire
truck, and instructions to the COM
mittee on ordinances to prepare a
new building ordinance, the present
city law on that subject having been
found to be faulty and inadequate.
1t was also decided that the macadam
streets of the city should have proper
care, and to this end 1t has been
ordered that the same be treated to
a coating of oil. This treatment will
not only preserve the macadam but
will also help in keeping down the
dust. In order to get rid Of the rub
bish and derbis about the old Palace
hotel property, the recorder was in
structed to serve notice on the own
ers OF this property to clean up the
premises within ten days, and upon
failure to do so, the city will proceed
with the work, charging the expense
thereof against the property. In
taking this step the Council Is going
to make that corner a little more
slightly, as we'll as getting the derbis
out of the streets and off the side
walks. City marshal, Mike Currin
rendered his resignation as marshal
and fire chief at this meeting, the
same being accepted and the position
rendered A. C. Crowell. Mr.. Currin
is preparing to engage in private
business. 1t has not been learned
whether Mr.. Crowell will accept the
place, but he is said to be a good man
for this position.
Annual cleanup days were set fol
Friday and Saturday, the 18th and
18th of this month, and due notict
of same ordered to be published In
the city papers.
