Where preparation for battles In previous years required days, hours are now necessary. Since taxicabs won the first battle of the Marne, gasoline and rubber have been increasing factors. Some of the American troops in recent battles, perhaps those shown above in a momentary halt in a French village, have traveled thirty hours with hardly a stop for rest.

Since the new red and green signs have been placed along the highway, it has diverted a large amount of auto mobile travel to the Columbia High way and through Irrigon, and this has made necessary additional repairs to the roads through this district, which work is now in progress. The reclamation service has estab- lished a camp at Coyote Springs, where a large force of men and teams are engaged in cleaning out the canal and repairing the banks, preparatory to next season’s irrigation. G. W. Hux, recently from Heppner, is busily engaged on the 50 acres of land that he purchased from the Land Company a short time ago. Another Heppner man, W. T.

The engineer, officers and deck hands all stood watches in the fireroom, leaving only the lookout and deck officer to watch for the subs.

This year there is a full complement to elect, the terms of all the pres- ent incumbents expiring this fall. From our observations of how the present council handled the business of the city the past twelve months, it might he well to re-elect them, whether they seek re-election or not, for it is a well known fact that it is hard to get a set of taxpayers to sit on a council board and devote their time free gratis to city affairs and use as much fair judgment and conservation meth ods as those now holding the government reins. Thus far there has not been a peep out of those seeking county offices, with the exception of George Tonkin, who seeks elect ion to the office of sheriff on the Republican ticket.
