WON HIS WAGER
Will Receive a Ford Auto Upon His
Return Home.
A travel worn tourist reached the
Alco Rooms in Vale early Monday
morning who had made a wager that
he could leave Philadelphia without
money and sell enough merchandise on
the road to pay expenses and reach
San Francisco in 30 days. His name
was Herbine, the proprietor of a
variety store in Powers, Pennsylvania.
He won the wager and had one day to
spare. When he arrived in Salt Lake
City he took of his finances and he
had $67 and he lost no more time in
interviewing customers and arrived
two hours after the big Fourth of
July parade had ended in San Fran.
cisco. He is homeward bound but is
thinking seriously of selling his Ford
and buying a thru ticket with all
the trimmings a lower berth and three
meals each day in the diner. The
wager was the result of several
spirited talks between two brothers.
Upon his return Mr. Herbine will
posess a new Ford and $300 in cash.
His speedometer on his coast trip
reads 3530 miles, and his repair bill
was $11.85. He bought four new

WALTER PIERCE
Democratic Nomine for Governor
Visited Vale Last Tuesday.
Senator Walter Pierce of La Grande
visited Vale Tuesday and had the
pleasure of meeting many former
friends. He was in the lost legis
lature and naturally enjoyed a few
moments with Senator Hurley and
Representative Crandall talking over
many things of the last session in
which they were all interested. He
also met an old Pendleton acquaintance
in our follow townsman, T. T. Nelcen.
Register, Tom Jones and Mr. Pierce
participated in the memorable state
Democratic convention in Portland,
many years ago which resulted in the
nomination of Will R. King for Gover
nor. Senator Pierce returned to his home
in the evening to attend to harvesting.
He is an extensive farmer and stock
grower of Grande Ronde Valley. Af
ter harvest which will occupy his at
tention until October he will make an
active speaking campaign of the en
tire state and will cover Malheur
county.
ELOQUENT SPEAKERS TALK AT LUNCHEON
OUT OF TOWN GUESTS GIVE ROAD IDEAS
It may be many years before the.
business men of Vale are again per
mitted to hear more eloquent and
patriotic addresses than did those who
were so fortunate as to be present
at the businessmen's luncheon Tuesday
noon, when they were addressed by
Circuit Jutgc Biggs of this county and
Senator Walter M. Pierce of La
Grande. These gentlemen arc past
masters in handling eloquent English.
Both men talked on the war. Judge
Biggs impressed upon all that in our
seeming hour of victory not to think
the war was over. He was not so sure
but what America would be required
to send and maintain between 5,000,
000 and 6,000,000 men on tho various
fronts before the right kind of a
peace was obtained. This he pointed
out would only be between 5 per
cent or 6 per cent of our population.
We have the men and the wealth to
support such an army and if required
we will send the men.
Senator Pierce followed in a similar
train of thought, pointing to the fact
that our principal and only business
at present was the "killing of the
Hun." Also that England had raised
her draft age to 50 years, that France
had raised her ago limit to 55 and that
America would within a very few
weeks raise her limit to 50 or 45 years.
Mr. Pierce is a member of the District
Draft Board which covers this por
tion of Eastern Oregon.
Judge McKnight reported that the
county surveyor had made investiga-
RETURNS FROM U. OF
RECOMMENDS
George Huntington Currey, publish
er the Malheur Enterprise returned
jj Xne Thursday from, Eugene, Ore
gon where he attended the first Re
serve Officer's Training Camp at the
University of Oregon. Mr. Currey has
made application for- appointment to
the Central Officer's Training Camp
for the infantry at Camp Pike, near
Little Rock, Arkansas and expects to
leave in a few weeks.
Mr. Currey is very enthusiastic over
the University of Oregon camp and
recommends that any young man
likely to be drafted, or anyone who
wishes to prepare himself to be of
military service in any emergency
should apply for admittance to thp
second camp which will open August
2. The University camp is modeled
somewhat after the Plattsburg plan.
It is entirely a civilian camp and is
worth while for the recreation and
physical benefits of four weeks in
tensified activity under military di
cipline. One of the primary reasons' for the
camp at present of course is to pre
pare men for officers in the regular
army. Under the new plan each mon
th Colonel Bowen as Professor of
Military Science and Tactics will ap
point a number of men each month
from -the graduates of the University
of Oregon Camp to the Central Of
ficer's Training camps. These Cen
tral Officer's Training Schools for
Candidates for Commissions will be
located at Camp Pike, Arkansas for
the infantry, at Camp Taylor, Kn. for
the Artillery and at Camp Hancock,
Ga. for Machine Gun training.
The staff in charge of the camp
consists of many specially trained of
ficers including a number of the Uni
versity professors who teach the
technical subjects of the course. Col
onel William IL C. Bowen, U. -S. A.
is Professor of Military Science and
Tactics, having been detailed to the
University of Oregon by the War De
partment. He has had many years
of active service in tho United States
Army. Colonel John Leader has been
loaned by the British army to the
University of Oregon. He has had
23 years of active experience in the
British army having served during
AUGUST CALL WILL BE
NO FUTURE RELEASES
Members cf the Local Boarf. re
ceived a telegram from Adgt. Gen.
Williams stating the Provost Marshall
General advises me by telegram that
the August calls will be as large ap
proximately as they were in July and
that 2,000 men will be called.
Local Boards are directed to refuse
releases to the navy, marine corps or
emergency fleet, of class one men.
No calls have been made since last
issue The classification of the 1918
men is. practically completed but
physical examination in several cases
have not been made.
Dr. Oftedal has been appointed on
tions relative to tho Watson road and
that a permanent survey would soon
be established.
Tom Kahout of Jordan Valley was
called upon to give his views on the
road proposition to connect the north
and south portions of this vast domin
ion. He thought the Sucker creek
road a very important line of com
munication. W. W. Letson of Ontario in re
sponse to a call stated that this por
tion of Malheur county was hardly a
portion of Oregon. He was in favor
of any road that would result in an
opportunity to get food to market
that was required for the boys "over
there."
Assessor Carlile had been asked to
prepare a statement of the valuation
of the taxable property of the county
and estimate the milage required to
secure the $20,000 required of Mal
heur county before it can secure the
advantage of $40,000 available from
the state and the $40,000 which the
government will appropriate. 1.7 mills
was the amount Mr. Carlile stated
would be required.
C. M. Robinette called attention to
the fact that "tomorrow" our 69 boys
entrained and that he wanted tho peo
ple to join in the parade instead of
congregating on the side Walk. He
thot that was as little as we could do.
Attorney Robert Lytle who presided
over the successful meeting announced
that H. R. Dunlop would be the chair
man of next Tuesday's luncheon.

COURSE FOR EVERYONE
that time as military observer with
the armies of five nations, including
Japan, - Germany and United States.
He is known generally iI3 life, hero of
the Battle ,of the Somme where his
famous Ulster division was shattered
by the huns and himself forced to
the hospital where ho was confined
for months.
Colonel Leader is commandant of
the camp and both he and Colonel
Bowen sjive lectures on military sub
jects, that are each and every one
worth the entire cost and time of the
camp.
The subjects taught during the
course Include military drill and
parvie, principles of campaigning,
tactics and strategy, field engineering,
signalling, topography, muske.ry.
mathematics, camouflage, first aid,
physical training, officer's school, mili
tary organization, gas school, trench
warfare,. French, artillery drill, mili
tary law, bombing and bayonetting,
and also practice marches, campaigns
in the hills, and actual trench warfare.
Any one interested in the camp can
secure application forms and infor-j
mation by addressing the Adjutant
University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon.
The importance of keeping up the
home guard units thruout the state
was vividly impressed by Colonel
Leader's lecture on the possible in
vasion of the northwest. Germa
troops raised in the teuton colonics of
South America could effect a landing
along our coast with little difficulty
and would be able to raise great
havoc in Oregon and Washington be
fore any effective force could be com
manded against them. Certain other
moves ngainfct the United States
would probably be made simultane
ously with the result that the enorpies
of the powerful American War ma
chine would for several months bp
directed against the invaders during
which time our nrmy In Europe woald
suffer from want of supplies and rein
forcements. While only a possibility,
it would be a comparatively simple
military feat and is only one of many
sufficient reasons why as strong a
body nf home guards and state malltia
should be organized and trained as
possible.

Soldiers Given, Stirring Send Off By
Assembled Friends.
Vale presented a truly military
spirit this welsk. Men who entrained
Wednesday began to arrive several
days in advance from all sections of
the county, to'gether with relatives and
friends. Hotels and dining rooms
were taxed tocapacity.
Wednesday morning the final ex
aminations w6re mado and the Local
Board gave the men their last in
instructions.j At 12:45 the band of
69 stalwarts ; stepped into line and
for the first' time responded to the
order "Forward March." Following
came hundreds of Malheur county
citizens. Vale business men closed
their stores and offices and partic
ipated in the demor.stration at tho
depot.
Entralnnieht after entrainment have
been likewise honored on previous oc
casions, The present might struggle
which is now taking place on the
western front brought the war just
a little cloler Wednesday and there
were many moist eyes. There was
that supremo silence nt intervals that
bespoke the deep feeling that pre
vailed in every heart. One and all

necessity of these big square shoulder

to tignt anu cue, n neeu tie lor tneir
country.
When tho band's patriotic strains
which grappled tho heart strings
ceased, Attorney Geo. H. Hayes de
livered an address thai was classic.
Ho held the most profound attention
as he described the general conditions
and told the boys, our boys, what they
might expect. Then It was, that the
keen observer, noted the Intense ex

determination of each and very soldier
boy as they drank in the patriotic
words of the speaker.
Such fighting machines as Malheur
county sent off Wednesday, July 24,
1918 will never have to bo chained to
their guns to make them face the
enemy. These broad unlimited acres
produce a manhood that has decended
from patriotic fathers and forefathers,
who in times past have held Old Glory
untarnished, and their posterity today
is dooing tho work their fathers did,
an Increased vision of tho brother
hood of man, not bounded by ter

HUN LINES ARE STILL BEING PUSHED BACK
GERMAN ARMY IN PRECARIOUS POSITION
General Foch still has the German
armies on the retreat. It has now
been over a week since I the allied
armies wrested the offensive from
their enemies. During this time it
has been a furipus battle over a long
front. It is too colossal for details
to bo gathered. At various points the
line waves back and forth daily but
gradually the Germans are being
pushed back, some days several miles
aro gained by the allies..
At this time -the general retreat
is being more stubbornly slowed up,
New divisions aro being used that,

In on the final smash to Paris. Tho
allies taking tho unexpected .off ensive
and crushing so many divisions of tho
enemy, these reserves have been
thrown in with the hopo of stcming
the advance.
Neither side in their official reports
mention anything definite rtgdrdlng
casualties or numbers captured. The
slight references occasionally given in
the allies statements from prisoners
taken reveal the fact that the artillery
and machine gun, fire has annihilated
batallion after batallion.
Allied aircraft still holds the
supremacy and arc able to direct the
long range guns which in many in

munition depots in the rear, prevent

Hundreds of guns and cannons have

to do great execution.
The Allies now have perfect range

WORKJUTLINED
Government Will Help Mother in
Saving "The Seventh Baby"
In the child welfare movement
which nt present is sweeping United
States the Government has linked
hands with physicians and parents in
saving the 100,000 babies who yearly
succomb to sllirht diseases and
nourishment. It is estimated that the
life of every seventh babv is snuffed
out from preventable causes. In fur
thering this ercat movement t.hn
government has asked that every child
in the nation up to four years of
ago bo weighed and measured during
the coming week. The, work hero
comes under scope of the County
Council of Defense and the examina
tion will be given free at the Library
rooms in Vale on Friday and Saturday,
July 20 and 27.
Mildred Nelsen student of the
Washington Medical Colleco of St
Louis will havo charge of the work
and will be assisted by two comnetent
helpers during each day. Mothers
may bring their children either Fri
day morning from nine to twelve or
Friday and Saturday afternoons from
two to live. Mrs. Robert D. Lytle
county chnini of ,tte" Women's
Council of Defense and Mrs. Georca
Huntington Currey local chairman
will assist at the rooms and outline
the work.
This renuest comes from the covem.
ment and it is the patriotic duty of
each American mother to aid as far
as possible in Catherine these vnln-
able statistics on tho welfare of the
children of tho nation. Everv mother
should be on hand with children up to
four years of ago and hnvo them
weighed and measured during these
two days. If all do not respond other
days will havo to be set aside and a
canvass of babies mado in each dis
trict. Tho records secured in the weigh
ing and measuring test serve two dis
tinct purposes. They furnish a guide
for tho better core of children. They
show work that is needed with indi
vidual children. They furnish a stand
ard series of weights and measures
for the children of tho United States
at different ages.
Thousands of under-nourished chil
dren are being found In this national

5,000,000 children. The problem which
confronts the committees which aro
conducting the test as part of their
