Washington, D. C.-The United
pairing to demonstrate to the people
of the principal cities of the North
west that they have it within their
power materially to reduce the pre-
vailing high cost of living.
F. s. Holbrook, assistant inspector
of weights and measures of the Bu-
reau OF Standards, is now making his
way across the northern tier of states
to the Pacific Coast, and thence south
ward to Los Angeles, stopping en-
route in all large cities to ascertain
in what ways the public is being Inn
posed upon by dealers who, knowing
ly or innocently, are selling short

over, while en- route will make a
study of state and municipal laws
governing weights and measures, and
will look into the manner and effec
tiveness of the enforcement OF such
laws as are on the statute books OF
the different states visited.
In the course OF two or three weeks
Mr.. Holbrook will reach Portland,
making inspections IN the meantime
in the big cities OF Montana, Spokane,
Seattle. Tacoma and Olympia. From
Portland he will go to Astoria, Ore
gon City, Salem, Roseburg, and thence
to California. In each of these cities
Mr.. Holbrook, bearing credentials
from the Secretary of Commerce and
Labor, will visit representative stores
of various types, but particularly gro
cery and provision shops, and there
inspect weighing and measuring de-
vices that he finds in use. He will
visit stores of the best class, and
shops of the lowest type; those with
fashionable patronage as well as
those that supply the slums.

LARGER WARSHIPS
FOR UNITED STATES

Neutrality-suspicious. for bigger bat
tleships with heavier armor will be
presented to congress during the
forthcoming session by Secretary of
the Navy Meyer when the question
of the building program is taken up
for consideration.
Naval experts have practically
agreed tnat the new type of ship, of
which congress will be asked to auth
orize the building of two, will be
larger and heavier than the $1,000 ton
ships now under construction. The
tonnage limit will be increased to at
least $4,000 and probably $4,000 when
the plans are matured.
The building program will probably
include torpedo destroyers, and one
additional ship, either an ammunition,
repair, supply or hospital ship. An
important change in the building
plans as outlined in the tentative pro-
gram will be enlargement of the de-
stroyers to 1000 tons. The largest
now afloat in. the United States navy
are $50 tons. This means that the
larger grayhounds of the navy, the
scout destroyers, will become an OBJ
solete class.

BALLOT COUNT EXPENSIVE
80 Initiative and Referendum Meas
ures Will Add $4,000 Expense.


Salem--According to IA fairly con-
servative estimate, 1t will probably
cost the State of Oregon twice as
much to pay for counting the votes on
the 80 initiative and referendum
measures to come up before the peo-
pie at the general election, November
8, as the combined salaries of the
senators and representatives in thu
legislature for session of 40 days.
And this amount includes only the
extra election expense that will be
caused because of the measures, and
has no reference to the cost OF count.
ing votes on the various candidates.
1t is safe to assert that in a pre-
cinct where there are 150 voters or
over 1t will require fully day to
count these measures alone. At any
rate, with long ballot OF state, coun-
ty and district officers, more than
day will be consumed In counting
both. AS the law provides that the
judges and clerks shall be paid an
extra day, even If their time runs over
a fraction after the first day, it can
be seen that the counting of these
measures will result In an extra days
pay for all of the judges and clerks in
the various precincts, and in many
Of the precincts where there are
from $50 to 700 voters the counting
will make up two extra days.

OF Zion City's founder and seek to ex-
tend the faith he established.
This was Voliya's answer to the sur
mise following Judge Lands deci-
sion in the United States circuit court
Thursday, whether he would divide
the property and sell it. or continue
the movement started by his prede-
cessor.
Under the ruling Of Judge Lands
the DoWie estate is to be sold to real
estate firm by Receiver Thomas for
100000 and, under a contract with
the firm, Voliva is to repurchase it
for 100000, payable in eight years,
thus regaining what he was deprived
OF when receiversnip proceedings
were instituted soon after the death
of Dowie, nearly four years ago.
With only one exception the plans
of Dowie are to be followed in their
entirety, Voliya declares. The excep-
ton is that to the manufactures and
commerce of Zion City are to be added
agricultural pursuits, which Voliva
maintains are necessary to the pros.
perity of any community.
! At the time of Dowie's death the
property of the community was ap-
praised at approximately $20,000,000.

How To Cure Eczema, PIN
pies, and Dandruff.

We desire to say that when we
took the agency for ZEMO, we
were convinced that it was valu-
able remedy for Eczema, pimples,
and dandruff. Yet, we must frankly
admit that Zemo has far exceeded our
expectation as treatment for skin
diseases. We are pleased to state
that we shall continue the agency
as ZEMO has given splendid results
wherever recommended. Our GUS
toners like ZEMO too, because it is
clean vegetable liquid for external
use.
ZEMO effects it's cures by draw
ing to the surface of the skin and
destroying the germ life that causes
the disease, leaving the skin clear
and healthy. 1t does not soil the
clothing or linen and can be used
freely on infants.
With every purchase, we give a
booklet on skin diseases explaining
in simple words how any person
can be cured at home of any form
of skin or scalp disease by this clean,
scientific remedy. City Drug store.

been making an exhaustive investiga-
ton of the conduct of affairs of the
entire department of the interior and
also of the bureau of forestry of the
department of agriculture. The in.

division of the general land office, will
be found to be the following:
