Coach Critchfield will be forced to build almost a new team with only one letterman, Raymond Holloman, back for service.

The store will be closed Friday in order to pre pare for the event. Circulars are now in the-snails. SPEED EMPHASIZED IN CONSTRUCTION Captain Robert C. Williams a r rived Monday from Washington, D. C., to take charge of the work of building the munitions depot, located three miles west of Hermiston. He was accompanied by Mrs. Williams, and they have leased temporarily a home in Pendleton. With him also was his aide, Mr. Coffey. Tuesday the officials spent here looking over the field and consulting local citizens and officials. Wednes day Captain Williams spent most of the day in Pendleton in a conference with the president of the Union Pa cific system and other officials rela tive to railway services and trackage and depot facilities on the Union P a cific cut-off. Definite plans have not been given out, but it is understood that speed is the word, and that the program will be organized and carried forward as rapidly as possible. When the surveys now being made by Stevens & Koon, Portland archi tectural engineers, which are expect ed to take two months to complete, are finished they will be forwarded to Washington, D. C., and the ord nance department will select the best- suited “lay-out” from the number submitted after which contracts will be let and construction started, possi bly in February or March. The surveys are being made, inci dentally, so as to include possible fu ture expansion so that no re-surveys would be necessary. It was deemed wise to do this in the interests of eco nomy. Tentative plans, likely to be changed if surveys now underway in dicate a necessity, call for six hund red and fifty concrete iglos in which ammunition would be stored, with each igloo to be 81 feet in length and 2 6 feet in width. The roofs will be of five-inch con crete, covered by soil and then plant ed to grass to afford a maximum of concealment, and the bases will be of ten-foot concrete, so that if an explo sion were to occur, the force would be directed upward rather than out ward or downward. Each igloo would be spaced 400 feet from its neighbor, although where there are hills sometimes they are in closer proximity. Also, no ig loo will be less than a mile from any human habitation, either on or off the army reservation. The igloos will be built in groups of 100, and the entire area will be surrounded by a man-proof fence. The igloos will be dome-shaped, with a barricade wall at each entrance. Buildings on the area will include a headquarters building which also will house an adequate dispensary, a combined fire and guard house, a garagt;,..with minor repair facilities, a small shop for general machine jobs, storage warehouse, and four sets of living quarters. The area will have its own light ing, telephone and signal systems, just as it will build and operate its own railroad facilities. Captain Williams’ work here will be ended when the depot construction work is completed, after which the ordnance department will take over full charge. Plans call for 200 civi lian employes at the depot after it is in operation. At present the captain is prepar ing to provide full reports relative to highway, railroad, etc., facilities, and expressed much interest in the pro posed Stanfield-Boardman cutoff. STUDENT OFFICERS TO ATTEND CONFERENCE Four members of the Student Council of Hermiston Union high school will journey to La Grande November 3» to attend a student leaders' conference at the Eastern Oregon College of Education. The conference will be attended by dele gates representing schools from the entire Eastern Oregon district. Delegates who will attend are Bill Belt, president; David Hamm, vice president; Marie Hinkle, secretary, and Susan Knox, treasurer, of the local student body association. Mias Hinkle will present a talk on the fi nancial aspect of student manage ment as a part of the program.
