The following letter has been re ceived by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lieu alien of Heppner from their son Cecil who Is a sailor in the United States Navy. Brest, France, June 15, 1919. Dear Folks: I just got back yesterday from four of the most Interesting days I ever spent. We were given a four-day furlough to go to Paris last Wednes day, June 10. We left the ship at 5 o'clock p. m. and our train left Brest at 8 p. nr. I was a little puzzled at first on how to get aboard my car. The cars are very different from those in the U. S. They have only four wheels, with spokes in them like an Iron wheeled wagon, only larger. When I first saw my car I thought I would have to crawl in through a window, but found It had several doors that slid bacK into the wall. The upper halt of the doors and walls are all windowed. When you get aboard you are in a narrow hall way and you cn see through another wall of doors and windows, into the compartment where you sit. Each compartment Is like a small room about six feet wide and long enough for four persons to sit comfortably. There are two seats running length wise of the compartment, so each lit tle room holds 8 persons. There were three classes of passenger cars. The elite ride first class, the common peo ple second class and the poor usually third. The third class cars have no cushions on the seats. Very few of the cars have sleeping accomodations or diners. So on our ride to Paris we piled cushions on the deck and piled up and slept like a litter of puppies. Two fellows slept in the suit case racks. It doesn't get dark here till after 9 o'clock and daylight comes about 4:30 in the morning, so we saw a lot of country in our 300-mile ride. I was surprised to find France so dif ferent from what I had expected. The whole country outside of the war zone is like one big garden. It is just like traveling through a great park. Every inch of tillable land is made to produce something and some of their hillside irrigating systems are wonderful. The fences are all hedges or stone walls and a field Is seldom larger than an acre and very irregu lar in shape. At this time they are cutting their hay and their machin ery is a scythe and a rake. I saw two binders. They work about as many oxen as horses and haul as much hay on a two-wMeled cart 4B we do on a regular hay rack. The creeks all look like they were made to order and even the rim rocks are covered with vines. The houses are all made of stones plastered together with a kind of mud, somewhat like cement only not so hard. Most of the houses are small, but there are some chateaus that look like palaces. When we' got to Paris we stopped at a depot called Mort Ponasse. From there we started out to see Paris. I could parley vous , about a dozen words in French so I acted as inter preter for our bunch of four. We didn't know a thing about Paris but we got a map that was a dandy so we started out. We visited Napo leon's tomb and went to the top of Eiffel Tower. We visited a few more interesting places and in the evening went for a promenade with our party increased to eight. We learned a lot of French and had a swell time. The next day we went to Chateau Thierry and from there to Rheims. We traveled in one of the trains tak en over from the Germans. All along the track there were dug outs which had been used by the passengers in case of an air raid on the train. As we got nearer to the front we began to see the ruins of villages. In some places there wasn't a house left standing and all over the country there were big holes where bombs and big shells had dropped. The nearer we came to the front the more ruins and shell holes we sam and some trenches. When we got to Rheims we saw the famous ruins of the Cathedral of Rheims. Rheims is a large city and had some wonderful buildings, but there isn't a whole house left. We took an auto from Rheims out to a fort, five miles dis tant. The fort is so blown up that there is only a mound of dirt leu. We didn't stay long in the French trenches. I wanted to see some dead Heinies. Those we got all went down with the U-boats. There 1b a whole forest shot to pieces and killed, only a few stumps and skeletons left. Most of the trenches were about 6 feet deep and some had sidewalks in them. The whole country Is a network of trenches with barbed wire entangle ments in between. I didn't know there was so much barbed wire made as there in between those trenches. We went into some dugouts. Some of them seemed to have all the com forts of home in them, bunks, stoves, and In one a complete blacksmith outfit. They evidently had had plenty of wine also. ' The Huns evidently left In a hurry for supplies of all kinds and even their dead were left behind. We spent the night at a town near Rheims and the next day we went back to Paris. We spent the follow day seeing Interesting places In Paris, among them the Pantheon de la Guerre, which means panorama of the war. It is a picture 40 feet by 100 feet. The people look so real that you Imagine you can see them move. I am sendiutr you seme post card pictures of nearly everything I saw and will send some I took to yoa later. I will close for this time as it is nearly 10 p. m. and will tell yoa about the swell time I had when I get home. Tell Margaret I got her little French doll for her birthday and will send it to her as soon as I get to New York. As ever, CECIL LIEUALLEN. Bank Cashier Named General Manager Wool Warehouse Co. T. J.

War Tax On Ice Cream And Soda Water, Luxuries, Due The war tax on Ice-cream and so da water for the month of May and the war tax on luxuries, such as shoes, shirts, millinery, etc., for the month of May will be due and pay able at the office of Collector of In ternal Revenue, Milton A. Miller, on or before July 20. ' Blanks for the purpose of making report of these taxes have been gen erally distributed.

Mr. Blackman was able to save of his belongings only what he could hastily put into a small handbag. He was returning to Chile to take, his old position with the American Re fining & Smelting Company. lone Wheat Is Of Extra Good Quality, Making Good Yield Wheat in the lone section this year Is of extra fine quality, acordlng to Carl Yount, grain buyer for the Pa cific Grain Corporation. In recent tests made, the wheat has weighed as high as 62 pounds. Mr. Yount says there will be considerable more grain delivered to the lone elevator and warehouses this year than last. The yield is running frm 12 to 25 bushels per acre, thereby exceeding greatly earlier estimates. Mr. Yount was in Heppner last Friday and stated that he had already purchased a few lots of the 1919 harvest. - Monument Preparing For Big 2-Days Blow-Out Next Month Big posters are out anouncing a two-days blow-out at Monument.
