(From Our High School Reporter.)
Despite the cold rain which was
falling Saturday morning, the foot
ball team were all at the schoolhouse
at 6 o'clock with a few loyal backers
to see them off. Four cars left with
many cheers. The cars had two
breakdowns on the way over which
asioned considerable delay at Ar-
gton. The game had been sched
uled for 2:15 but on account of the
late arrival of the team it was not
begun until nearly an hour later.
It was not raining In Wasco, but
the weather was very cold.
The game was begun with real
fight on the part of our boys and
although neither side scored in the
first half, Heppner had the best of
it. In the third quarter Wasco made
a touchdown but failed to kick goal.
That aroused still more winning spirit
on Heppner's side: and she approach
ed the goal line several times but
couldn't quite reach it. Finally, in
the last minute of play, Heppner
scored a touchdown, saving the game
by making an even score of 6-6.
After the game our boys took pos
session of a restaurant and nearly
ate the proprietor out of house and
home. Thus refreshed, they started
on the long trip home, reaching
Heppner in the wee sma' hours.
Although Wasco has a very small
high school, about 65 members, they
are not lacking in school spirit and
much can be said for their team.
It certainly speaks well for Hepp
ner's team and its coach. Mr. Mather.

only think about it but turn out and
see the big victories they will score!

camps," has been locked up here on
a telegraphic warrant from Sheriff

"a mistake." The telegram also in
formed local officers that an officer

Washington.
Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 6. Rev. W.
A. Godwin, traveling evangelist,

AUTO STAGE LINES CUTTING
PASSENGER BUSINESS
Railroad Officials Visit Heppner to
Confer With Citizens Re
garding Change
H. W. Hicks, traveling passenger
ag,ent of the Union Pacific system,
and W. H. Guild, assistant superin
tendent of the O. W. R. & N. Co.,
were in Heppner during the week in
terviewng business men and citizens
in regard to thje company's proposal
to discontinue Sunday trains on the
Heppner blanch. The change, if
made, will not apply only to the
branch but all branch lines belong
ing to the company will be similarly
affected.
In discussing the matter with the
Herald Mr. Hicks pointed out that
the auto stage has so cut into the
passenger traffic on the branches
that there is but little of that busi
ness left to the railroad and that the
demand from all quarters for econo
my in railway operation and lower
rates has made the reduction of op
erating expenses imperative with the
transportation companies. As proof
that curtailment of expenses are
needed Mr. Hicks stated that the 0.
W. R. & N. Co. last year lost more,
than 11,000,000, that amount show
ing on the wrong side of the ledger
at the close of their fiscal year.
The question the officials asked
In the various communities affected
is just to whaft extent the communi
ties will be damaged by abolishment
of Sunday trains' outside of the mall
and dally newspaper service.
While no statement was made by
the officials regarding Sunday mail
it is generally believed that the com
pany will be willing to arrange for
that service by auto or otherwise if
the Sunday trains are discontinued.
Judging from expressions of local
business men the Herald is led to be
lieve that but little opposition to the
change will be made hero if the Sun
day mail is continued. It is gener
ally realized that tha passenger traf
fic by train is negligible since the
advent of the auto stages, although
many persons point out that had the
railroad, in the past, given Heppner
a more satisfactory passenger serv
ice stage competition would never
have developed.
The railroads admit now, accord
ing to the officials who visited here,
that the stage is here to stay arl
they feel that they must try to ad
just their affairs to meet the new
conditions.

Doolittle saw Gilliam at a distanca
and soon after returned to camp. Tho
other men arrived at the camping

A number of men familiar with the

safe at the Joe Hayps ranch on up
per Butter creek.
Mr. Gilliam said it began, to Bnow
on the mauntain and as darkness
came on he lost his bearings in the
storm, and was unable to locate the
direction of camp. He spent the
night on the mauntain and Started
out in the morning still bewildered
as to directions, and about 9:30
