The effects of Kaiser Bill are very , noticeablo in the Ella district, north of lone, as viewed by a sheepherder. It is strange why it would take such a calamity as the Kaiser is try-1 ing to bring upon us before people will wake up. When the Titantio ; went down in mid-Atlantic I sat in j about the same spot and read of the j awful calamity. Ella then was a bar-1 ren waste, turned over to the squir rels, jack rabbits, and a few Irish and Scotchmen, who thought all it ever was good for was to herd sheep over. Fences then were all down, roads were blocked with dead and green weeds and houses and barns were in a dilapidated condition. But today while out with the lone demonstrating weeder I read of cal amities in the North Sea and off the coast of Ireland that make the Ti tanic disaster a drop in the bucket-in comparison with the shipping loss to day. But the Ella of yesterday has given away to a great change for the Ella of today. Does it take great ca lamity and the fear of Kaiser Bill and his ruthless destruction to wake a na tion, a state, or county, or the Ella district up? No. Is the American farmer a drone in the time of peace? No. Is he a coward in the time of - ' war? No. In Ella, us all over the ... . world, the man that stands for justice Summer Pasture anfed for 30 to 35 head of Itorsw. Address Matt "u """" "co "c v,"s lu ue f Y I Halvorsen, lone, Ore.

But- Your son does, or your brother who is now across the way or the kid now in khaki to whom you used to give pennies a short time ago. That money you have laid away for "a rainy day" wouldn't you give every nickel of it to keep a Hun's knife away from his throat? Well, the Hun is here, and so is his knife-and so is the "rainy day" its raining now, raining bombs and shrapnel upon our boys "over there." JUNE 28th N4TI0NAL WAR SAVINGS DAY On that day the nation will call upon you, not just your neighbor but you to pledge yourself to the purchase of a certain number of War Savings Stamps during 1918. Lend your money as freely as they are giving their lives. NATIONAL WAR SAVINGS COMMITTEE This space contributed for the Winning of the War by THE GAZETTE-TIMES The First Replacement Regiment of Engineers. A DIFFERENT ENGINEER ORGANIZATION This llcftiment was formed IK'cenilier 1-lth, 1917, at Vu.shiiiton lliu racks, 1). t, for the express purpose of supplying the various Kn Kiiieer Vnits of the V. S. Army with skilled mechanics und technic ally trained men, HOW IT MFKKKS I'pon enlistment the skilled man is sent through a training course de signed to adapt his technical knowledge to military needs. Thls'is divided into two parts: MILITARY That he may be able to defend himself, tho recruit is lirst taught the fundamentals of military science. Instruction in the use of the rifle and bayonet is given until proficiency is obtained. Strength and health are gained by a system of physi cal exercise. TECHNICAL The outstanding feature of the course is the training given in the Military Trade Schools. Here, under competent in structors, the Engineer soldier learns how technical skill is ap plied to the conduct of the war. He comes out of these Schools ready to take an effective place in the Engineer Unit and to "de liver the goods." Everybody Knows What the Engineers Are Doing In France Today. Information regarding enlistments may bo had by addressing Commanding Officer. FIRST REPLACEMENT REGIMENT OF ENGINEERS Washington Itnrrackj, I). C. .trampled under if he wasn't up and doing. Ella of today has awakened . as never before with the grim deter I mination to do her bit. The chug, chug of the caterpillar running 22 hours in the 24 is bringing about a great change. A few years ago all you could see going along the road was a cayuse team hitched to a light buggy, a lady with a few crates of eggs tied on behind the rig, headed for lone. Yesterday on the same road I saw a Caterpillar headed for lone for a load of supplies. Judging from the size of the wagon the "cat" was pulling, our genial merchants, Rd and Bert, must have had their hands full. Yet another of the con trasts of the days of yore. Coming from the west I could see through a haze of dust what I thought was a circus train, but no. It was simply a Paige oar pulling a feed rack that looked to me to he about 80 feet long and a watering trough behind long enough to water 30 head of horses and mules. I coudln't be exactly sure of the length of the feed rack, but in making the turn in a 60-foot road and i gate 30 feet wide, the car hooked nto the gate post. In the driver's madr ush to be doing his bit, never looking to see if he could make It, map, snap, and the Paige plunged ahead, leaving part of the car and its bad fast In the gate. But with the true Yankee genious (that will make lie Kaiser take notice before long) md not to be ouHlor.c. he turned the car, hitched to the front axle and In 'cvr.rse he sosn disappeared over the nil. I could still give yon another example, such as a Dodge roadster -Hilling a wagon and 1800 pounds of 'reight up the Rietmann hill. The 'aterpillar is going to revolutionize farming in Ella. McMurray, who re cently bought the Reed place, Is run- ling a "cat" day and night. He tells me he has plowed 1500 acres and iceded 2000 acres already this spring, artly In Ella and partly In Franklin county, Washington, where he owns a large tract of wheat land. Then we have the Forbes and Baker "cat," the Wilt's "cat," you might say, all on ad joining farms and the Rletmann's with a mule team of 45 head. I thought the day of the lone demon stratlon weeder would have to give way or be plowed under, but it is still on top, and I might say, "still doing its bit. I have had one ewe that has had ten lambs in four years. Even the dumb brute is trying to do its bit and help the soldiers in France over the top. At this writing wheat and Jim Hill mustard need rain. (Editors note. The lone demon stration weeder referred to by Mr, Lindsay In the foregoing communica tion is an allusion to his fine band of Oxford sheep. CONTRACT LET FOR ROAD CONSTIICCTIOX The Morrow County Court has let the contract for building pieces of new roads leading out of Heppner to the United Construction Company of Portland. This is the same company now doing the work on the streets of Heppner. The contract covers 2000 feet on the Heppner East section of the Oregon-Washington highway on the llln ton creek road and one mile begin ning at the city limits of Heppner and extending down Willow creek. The county contemplates doing its own work on other roads soon to he undertaken. Tom Keeney returned to his home at Monument today. He has been in Heppner for several days at the bed side of Mrs. Koeney who recently A WOMAN'S RACK The Advice of This Heppner Woman is of Certain Value. Many a woman's back has many aches and pains. Ofttimes 'tis the kidneys' fault. That's why Doan's Kidney Pills are so effective. Many Heppner women know this. Read what one has to say about It: Mrs. H. Hughes, Court St., Hepp ner Bays: "For about a month, my buck ached and throbbed so badly at times that I could hardly stand the pain. The way my kidneys were act ing was giving me a lot of distress. I had taken only a few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills wlien I noticed a big change. My back felt stronger and my kidneys acted more regular ly. One box of Doan's permanently cured my trouble and since then I have enjoyed the best of health." irice hoc, at all dealers.
