vallis. "Quit your shovin' " is not
so 1'unny as it sounds when used by
students as protection from the more
impatient ones crowding some of the
long, standing lines. The trouble is
due to the fact that every three stu
dents, at O. A. C. are occupying room
and sharing educational advantages
designed for two.

Did you ever see an irresislable
force come in contact with an im
u'ovabla body? If you never did you
better take a trip down to Cecil some
fine day and watc'h the big, S-cylin-
ler "cat" cutting down the hill just j
below the Cei! bridge at the "Last j
Camp" ranch on the Oregon-Wash- j
inglon highway. The only reason j
y.nt will fail to see the aforesaid im
tostrated down there is that there!

at a speed of four Or five miles an i
liaur and pares down that hill as you ;
nouldpare an apple at the rate of i
about four cubic yards of hill at each j
pate, and it, the "cat" does business
with the hill "both a cumin' and a
gv.ine."
The ' cat ' is one that was built for
Uncle Sam to help lick the kaiser but
when Bill got cold feel and quit the
big war engine was turned over to
the State of Oregon to help build
highways. Oscar Huber, who has the
Oregon-Washington contract in Mor
rvw county leased the "cat" from the
state and turned it loose on Cecil hill
just to show what might have hap
pened to the Huns if this particular
"cat" had ever got to Francs and into
action.

It just naturally take- :
gressiveness for any of tr

Only 14 towns in Oregon have
larger populations than the O. A. tl.
campus, according to the last census.
Students and faculty have to use
basements as classrooms' and labora
tories. Pretty dark sometimes, but
good and strong and nobody can
break out.
In the English department eight
instructors were found crowded into
two small offices. To get their desk"

in the partition door had to be taken
off its hinges. They said thev didn't

A decree was received here a few ,
days ago from Judge C. W. Phelps. ;
in which the proceedings had in the
organization of the John Day Irriga-
lion district were affirmed by the'
court and held regular. M. D. Clark, ;
Heppuer, C. C. Clark, Arlington,
and Fd Rietman, of lone, are direct- I
ors of the district and F. A. Mc.Mena-
m In acted as their attorney in the or
ganization proceedings. F. K. Brown
also took an active part in the organ
ization and all of these gemteiuent
naturally feel well phased with the
court's lindings.
it is expected that such a decision
woudl hue the effect of clearing tip
the situation regarding warrants is
sued by the district in payment of
kills incurred in perfecting the oican
ixation but it is learned from other
scuices that the decree being entered
by default the matter of the legality
of the warrants is, s; ill in (itiesiion
the pt-int being raised that the war

been made according to law for their

J. W. Morrow, pioneer resident of
lloppr, i r, and still an ixtensive prop
erly ow ner here, came out. from Port
land last week i.o perfect arrange
ments for platting his east side acre
age into residence lots, bringing with
him a competent civil engineer who
made the pi elitn ina y surveys and es
tablished the fact that the project, as
Mr. Moriow has visioned it for sever
al yens, is entirety practicable.
Mr. Morrow was here last June
looking oxer the situation with a view
i i hiiv.ng the work, undertaken, us
was, exclusively announced at that
lime by the Heppner Herald, but as
a considerable pmtion of his property
lies rather high lor a satisfactory
"er ice from the old water system, he
allowed the matter to rest until tho
present time.
t'pon his arrival last week Mr.
Mot row interviewed the oi t y officials
regarding their plans for the neur
gravity system and upon receiving
assurance that the service pressure
will be supplied from the high reser
voirs, he at. once decided to go abend
ith his project.
Mr. Morrow was for many years
identified with the business activities
of Heppner and although he has been
resident of Portland for a number
of years where he is connected in an
important way with the tax depart
ment ol' the O. W. 1!. & N. It. IL, he
till letains his old allection for
Heppner and he pins bis laith to the
Id town both as n substatilial busi-
. center and a little city with
night promise lor tut lire growth and
reat ness.
