P. railroad shops in Portland. B, Whitaker, O. Beck, E. Beck, Fred Voight, Carl Demoy, C. Lingleback, J. Fantz, E. Osborne, H. Kitching, Don Day, Wm. Gauley, A. Munsen, L. Davis, Dan Jennings, C. Cooke. They were under the leadership of Mr. Drews, shop instructor. They first visited the foundry and saw the process o f making castings. They were told that the iron mould ing trade is the hardest in the world. Connected with the foundry is the pattern room where patterns fo r all castings are made. N ext they visited the building in which the Pullman cars are repaired. This department has a daily output o f ten freigh t cars and employs 450 o f the 1500 men at work in the yards. Leaving the repair shop they vis ited the machine shop. Here much o f the technical work is done, test ing valves, lathe work, electrical work, etc. The motors on some o f the large steel turning lathes develop over one thousand horsepower. The last thing on the list was the roundhouse. There were about fifty locomotives on tracks around the building. These tracks converge in the center where a turn table was located. An engine could be moved from place to place very quickly. The locomotives are brought to the round house fo r repairs or cleaning. One engine interested us particularly. It is one o f the largest on the coast and is used in the mountains near Pendleton. The engine has six drive wheels on each side and develops thousands o f horse power. The loco motive cost $100,000. A fte r leaving the railroad yards the expedition split— some returning to Estacada and some remaining in Portland. Those who stayed in town visited the Rankin flyin g field located just below the railroad yards. Juniors Defeat High In a basket ball game Friday the junior girls’ team defeated the high school team by a score o f 29-25. The junior line-up was— forwards, Blanch Armstrong and Ora McKenney with Pauline Buell as sub.; jumping cen ter, Erma W ilcox; running center, Marion Gardner; guards, Lucile Saunders andd Cecelia Lingelbach. The high school line-up was— for wards, A lice Kaake and Helen An ders, with Ellen Buell as substitute; jumping center, Olive Bishop; run ning center, Irene Davis; guards, Edith Demoy, Mary Lemon and Janet Gilgan.

The spirit o f yule- tide was carried out in the spacious dining hall and the scene was a pretty one.

School House Completed The new school house was finished last week commenced Monday with Thompson as teacher. The model displayed here was the two-door sedan.

With fe w exceptions the public generally conceeded that it was a very beauHf.x tar and that it was up to expectations. Mr. Cooke says the selling plan as published in the newspapers a few weeks ago was all “ bunk” so fa r as he had been able to learn, and that the new Ford would be sold on the same plan as the old car, taking used cars in trade. He did not know what dale he would be able to make de liveries.
