High School Notes

The basket bat- season foS the boys
ended last Sa urday night with a
game with Lex gtJn, in which. we
are sorry TO say the H. H. S. boys
we're defeated by a score cf II to II.
/ Our regular team did not play, how
ever, one star forward, E. Pattison
being out of the game on account Of
a lame foot. This probably accounts
for the fact of our being defeated
although the Lexington lads are
given credit for playing a fast clean
game. The team mad a game
scheduled with Moro at that city for
next Saturday night but word was
received Tuesday evening that the
team had disbanded for the season
and consequently called the game off.
The lyceum number last Friday
evening in which the Warwick male
quartet presented a two hour enter
tainment was exceptional end can
not be too highly commended. The
program consisted of both vocal and
instrumental selections, both being
rendered with the same exceptional
display of talent. The gentlemen
were somewhat handicapped in the
rendition of the program from the
fact that they were forced to make
the trip from Arlington to Heppner
by Ford and having considerable
Ford trouble on the road arrived
just in time to make their appearance
on the stage.
The election of officers for the
second semester to govern the
1udont body and athletic association
took place last Friday afternoon.
after couple of hours of cleo
pioneering for the two tickets which
were presented, one by the Freshmen
and Sophomores the other by the
Seniors, the votes were cast and as
the Fresh-Soph political machine
was the most efficient their ticket
was put over by a large majority.
lhose elected were: for Student
Body: Ruth Van Vactor, President;
line, Peterson, V. President; Marie
Curran, Secretary; Violet Merritt,
Treasurer; Everett Pattison, Ser
goant-at Arms; Emery Gentry, Fire
chief. For Athletic Association:
Jared Aiken, President Ellis Irwin,

The first event given by Heppner's
new band, was the ball at the Fair
pavilion on Monday evening. The
attendance was large, the music
good, everybody had good time and
the financial results quite satisfac-
tory. The band boys will have other
entertainments of like nature in
the near future and the funds raised
will be used in the purchase of new
instruments that are needed to put
the band in workable shape For
the assistance rendered by the ladies
of the Civic League on this occasion,
the band boys are duly thankful.

policy that have outlined.

Government regulations carrie i

cause 4 radical change In the physic.ll
methods Of mining. There are too
many mines, as I have said, and, COLI
seoaentiy, there are more mine worl:-
ers than can BE economically emf
ployed. place the number at 10000.
There are periods Of anemplo,-
ment for the s5S.oeo mine workers In
the United States. No SQUAD reason n
exists for limiting, - is the case ut
present. a miners work and wag
year to zoe days. In this we see eco-
nomic acknowledgement, II not social
tragedy. We are mining in many,
ways after the fashion Of our grand :.
fathers.
"A miner, for example. now has hi.
own particular room underground.
That's his room. There was a tim>
when every locomotive engineer had
hss own engine. In these days he
takes the one that is waiting for him.
A room for each miner, when SOC or
more miners are employed. means the
covering OF an area equal to that Of
a large city.
Instead OF taking ten tons of coal
out OF room in day. 1 would take
out 100 tons. using cutting machines,
loading machines and fast cars oper-
ated by electricity. And would
make the change Of methods highly
profitable to the miners. I would
double their earnings without in
creasing the cost Of production.
Miners are paid every two weeks.
l would pay them on the basis Of the
price OF coal received at the mine
for that period. When the price in
creased earnings would increase
When the price fell earnings would
fall That you say. might be unsatis-
factory to the miners? and unfair as
well aS Improbable.
But wait a moment. I would
guarantee q minimum price for every
days work. Say. by way Of iliustra-
ton, that 1t was $3.50. Then, no mat
ter how low the price OF coal might
go, the miner would be assured that
his earnings could not fall below the
sum promised. He would be certain
Of a fixed amount at the END OF every
two weeks no matter how great the
decline might be in coal prices.
Moreover, the guarantee would ex-
tend to days. Let US say, for instance,
that a miner would receive $3.50 .

yearly period Of 20 days, with an as
sured number Of working days in
every month. He would never earn
any less. He would have employment
for 22o days. at least. A brisk de-
mand for coal would, OF course, in
crease his earnings by the day and
also the period Of his employment.

Auea WouiQ give the o0ar0 OF
experts ceatrol over the opening Of
mines. No mine should be opened
except under license and plans sup
piled BY the government. If there
were NO need for another mine. a
license would be withheld. In this
way speculation in coal properties
would be prevented and the market
fer coal would be stabilized.
IT the mines We now have were
operated ~ they should be 5000 Of
them could be closed. Let me explain
that statement. Under the wild meth-
DDS now followed q man with l,eee
acres Of coal. having a six foot vein,
can take out 5000 tons to the acre.
By Improving his methods he could
take out 800 tons to the acre. I
would compel him BY law, therefore,
to improve his methods. and by 50
doing would lengthen the life OF hts
mine to thirty years. from which he
could extract 1909 tons day during
all Of that period.
I'VE must bear in mind that coal is
a public utility. 1t is the foundation
under our civilization. That founda-
ton IL being Quarried out at an
alarming rate and so far there is
nothing to substitute for it. The gov
eminent. then, should. at least to the
degree l have mentioned, supervise
the industry.
Were our coal supply properly
managed it would increase our
national wealth even more than both
iron and oil have increased it in the
past. Possibilities. to those who are
acquainted with the facts and look
ahead. are almost startling in their
magnitude. Indeed, millions upon
millions for miners and owners await
the day Of efficiency and common
sense. venture to say that coal.
properly administered, would bring
more riches to our people than do the
three great industries Of iron, oil and
sugar.
Not only Is mining crudely carried
on at present. but the coal, once out
OF the earth. Is most stupidity handled.
It is wastefully burned in the making
OF heat and steam. Again, the opera
tor believes that his work is done
when he sells his coal to some user.
As q matter of fact ne ought to use
the coal himself in the manufacture
Of many staple articles.
II can see the day when the coal
operator will be manufacturing dyes
and chemicals and even iron and

when ne loads his coal on railroad
cars, but will 60 on and on until the
wealth he creates for himself and his
workmen will beat all records. Coal
is by far the biggest subject before
the American people.
There are in the earth at this
moment S.1SS.seo, 100000 tons Of
coal-half Of 1t east Of the Rocky
mountains and the other half In the
Rockies and westward to the Pacific
coast. So far, we have mined 1850
900. oeo tons Of our coal. which Is
about three -tenths Of per cent Of
all that was In the earth when Column
