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.

ADOPTS NEW SYSTEM
University of Oregon, Eugene,
June 4. 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

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

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. Timber for building pur
poses and for fuel will be granted
free of charge by the Forest Service.
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.
