HUDDLESTON, Agt., Heppner, Ore Details and plans for another record-breaking Round-Up this year, September 20, 21 and 22, were in- j augurated last night at a very enthu jsiastic meeting ot the board of dl- rectors, ah preliminaries were ar .anged and work will commence im mediately upon the advertising prop l ;anda. ( W. C. E. Pruitt. who has had 'charge of the work for five years, left today for an extended trip 1 through Eastern Oregon end the Willamette valley for the purpose of getting the dates before the peo le and informing them of the fact that the war is making no differ ence with the World's Greatest Frontier Exhibition. On this trip he will take in the two frontier shows held in the valley at Philomath and Ashland. Post cards of Round-Up scenes, ncluding the famous Jackson Sun down picture, are now ready for free distribution and the Round-t'p boosters are urged to call at room 6, Temple building, get a supply of these post cards and write to riends on them or use them tor in serts in letters. They are exception ally high class work and will be in great demand. I To fill the vacancy on the board caused by the resignation of H. W. Collins who has handled the compet itive and non-competitive events for so many years with such great suc cess, Bert Whitman was unanimous ly elected last night. Mr. Whitman will at once take up the work of getting the show lined up for this year. There will be plenty of per formers and plenty of contestants and the show will be . the biggest thing the board has ever attempted. Naval Recruit Dies Word was received in Hepner on Tuesday ot the death at the navy hospital in San Francisco on June 11th, of Harper Stewart, a Hepner boy who recently volunteered in the service ot Unole Sam. The lad bad been- sick a short time with pneu monia and death resulted from this ailment. No further particulars have been furnished. His sister, Miss Mary Stewart, who has been residing here for some time, left immediate ly upon the receipt of the news for Arlington where she could catch the overland train for Portland, In order to be present at his funeral, which will doubtless be held at the home ot his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Stew art at Wolf Creek, Oregon. Harper was a native of Morrow county but for many years has resided with his parents in Douglas county. He re turned to Heppner last year, and when the call came for volunteers for the navy, he readily enlisted in the service of his country, and it is painful, indeed to have to make this sad announcement. At The Churches. Church of Christ The subject ot the Sunday morning sermon will bo, "God's Husbandry." In the evening the minister will discuss the subject, "The Highest Bid der."

In line with the recommen dations made to the college presi dents at the recent conference in Washington, D. C, by the council of national defense, the University of Oregon has adopted the three-quarter schedule in place of the present two-semester plan. The new sched hte will go into effect with the open ing of the University In the fall, and as a part of the plan, the opening is set for Oct. 1, or approximately two weeks later than usual. The system as adopted by the faculty is for the period of the war. The purpose of the change, as ex plained by President Campbell, is to make it possible for men engaged in such productive vocations or farming which is particularly vital at this time, to complete two-thirds of a col lege year's work in six months and to devote the remaining half of the year to directly productive occupations. That two semester plan does not lend itself readily to such an arrangement. The three-quarter plan as adopted is an adaptation of the system used in the University of Chicago, where it lias been employed for years. The schedule as adopted involves the opening of the college year Oct. 1. The first quarter extends to Dec. 21. The second quarter opens Janu ary 2, continuing to March 22, and the spring term extends from April 1 to June 17. The summer session will continue as at present, on the basis of half a school quarter. Further details and schedule of hours and courses will appear in the University catalogue, soon to be issued. FOREST SERVICE BUYS NEW LOOKOUT HOUSES District Forester George H. Cecil, of Portland, Oregon, has just placed an order with the Mill Made Con struction Company, of Portland, for ready cut materials for three stand ard lookout houses to be erected at the summits of Mount McLaughlin, Diamond Peak, and Rustler Peak on he Crater National Forest, in July. These houses are twelve feet square with a cupola six feet square. Both cupola and main part of the building have windows running all J the way around. The lower part of the house is the lookout man's living quarters, while the cupola contains the Osborne fire finder, maps, and other lookout equipment. The success in quickly discovering forest fires from lookouts stationed on Mount Hood and other high peaks has turned the attention of foresters to this form of fire protection work Besides the three houses to be erect ed on the Crater Forest this season lookout houses will also be placed on several other prominent peaks in Ore gon and Washington. Material for a house and St. Helens on the Colum bia National Forest was taken near ly to the summit last fall, and will be up as soon as it is possible to use the Spirit Lake road. Mount Adams, also on the Colum bia Forest, will have a lookout sta tion on its summit this summer, as he material is alreaay to be trans ported up the mountain This sta tion will be about one thousand feet higher than the one on Mount Hood, and will give protection to a large area of valuable timber.

Heppner Editor Here Vawter Crawford, publisher of the Hepner Gazette-Times, was In En terprise from Friday to Sunday to see his brother O. G. Crawford. Altho his father lived In Enterprise two years, in the old days, the Heppner publisher himself never had been in the town before. He has been pub lisher of the Gazette-Times for many years, maintaining it as one of the substantial county newspapers of the state, a paper which always has been on the right side of every public ques tion and has not feared to show Its colors, and which has been a valuable factor in the upgrowth of the town. There have been times when this did not seem the popular or profitable thing to do, but nothing could divert Mr. Crawford from what he consider ed right, and now he is on smoother waters, as his policy has been vindi ated. His mother, Mrs. J. V. Craw ord, who has been visiting a couple of months with her other son, return d to Heppner with the editor. Mrs. Crawford met many old friends here, who remembered her and her late husband, who was pastor of the Chris tian church when its present house of worship was erected. Enterprise Record Chieftan. Olin H. Hayes, who has recently been employed by Phil Fairbanks, contractor for the Uklah-Long Creek Stage Line, went to John Day the first of the week after a car which Mr. Fairbanks has purchased . and will put on the road. An auto stage will not only add very greatly to the comfort of the passengers but will provide an incentive for travelers to take the Uklah route, to nothing ot the advantage of receiving the mail several hours earlier. Long Creek Ranger. Sheriff McDuffee was a passenger or Portland on Tuesday. He is at ending the convention of sheriffs at he Rose City this week. w n IS Pruitt and Mrs. Pruitt passed through Heppner last Thurs day on their way into Central Ore gon.

Physical Education Association Camp At Oak Ridge The Eugene Branch National Association ot Pttystcal Education has just taken out a special use per mit for a tract of land near Oak Ridge, Oregon, on the Cascade Na tional Forest, to be used as a sum mer camp for the boys and girls of Eugene and vicinity, according to the announcement of District Forester Geo. H. Cecil, Portland, Oregon. The plans call for theerection of a log lodge and sleeping tents with per manent floors. An athletic field for arious outdoor sports will be con structed.

Part of the summer the camp will be occupied by groups of girls and at other times by groups of boys, under cimpetent leaders who have had ex perience in social work. Use of National Forest land for municipal and organization camps is increasing, according to Mr. Cecil. The boys' department of the Port land Y. M. C. A. maintains a summer camp at Spirit Lake, on the Columbia National Forest, where the boys en joy wonderful outings in the moun tains. The city ot Los Angeles has spent $8,000 developing a municipal campsite on the Angeles Forest in California. A ten-day trip to this camp from Los Angeles can be made at a cost so small as to be within the reach of almost every one. The Physical Education Associa tion summer camp at Oakridge will bo the first camp of this sort in Oregon.
