railroad never realize the size and importance of Union though its striking location is apparent to all. From the windows of a fleeting passenger train as it winds its way down Pyles Canyon and enters the head of the valley the traveler catches a glimpse of a magnificent grove lying eastward close to the base of the foothills. How peaceful it looks, how quiet, restful, and beautiful, and now as the coach sweeps around the curve and gives the traveler another vision. The view this time is assisted by the twinkling lights among the somber hues of the trees, and from their number he gathers the place is of considerable size. But as the train leaves the station behind little does the traveler know of the size and importance of the city whose beauty he has so much admired. By Norma Cox

James Williams gave us a demonstration of liquid air teday in assembly. First time we knew there was such a thing. Football game with La Grar.de at La Grande.

Dec. 3 Basketball season starts. We got off on the wrong foot, evidently,
