Boy Gives Up Parole. On
Account of Lack of Work

Salem-So far as analyzing business
conditions is concerned, Henry Clews
has rival in John o. 'Connor, 16 years
old, Of Portland, who returned to the
State Reform school after being out
on parole year. The lad said he had
been working in tailor shop in Port
land, but, because of a falling off in
business, had been laid off.
II spent several days looking for
another joh," said the youth to Super
intendent Hale of the school, "but
without success. l had little money,
for when / was working my wages
were small and / could not save much.
Being unable to find another job, and
convinced that business would not pick
up until spring because of war and
politics, decided to come back here
to spend the winter. I went to the
Juvenile court and asked to be recon-
mitted,I but the judge said he could not
do that as | had done nothing wrong"
The judge, however, called Mr.. Hale
over the telephone and the superin-
tendent told him to send the lad to the
school for the winter. Mr.. Hale says
the boy will be able to make more
than his living in the tailoring estab-
lishment in the institution. 1t was
there that he learned his trade, and is
fine workman.

Larger Sums Are Asked
!, for Oregon Institutions

Salem ~ Announcement was made
by the state board of control this week
that estimates made by it for state in
stitutions for the coming biennial per-
iod totaled 81, ,763, 5l6.93, which is an
increase of $107, ,955.32 over the ap-
preparations for the same purpose
made by the last Legislature for the
present period. Of the last appropria-
tions $780, for erecting barracks at
the penitentiary and $1,000 for the
Soldiers home was turned back into
the state treasury, making the total
appropriations used by the institutions
81, 6O8, ,711.61. While increases for
maintenance are suggested by the
board for several institutions the esti-
mated increases are largely due to the
belief of the board that improvements
are necessary. Maintenance increases
are asked for the insane asylum and
the penitentiary because of an increas-
ing population, and new wards are de-

WILL EVACUATE
VERA CRUZ SOON
American Forces to Leave Mex.
leo November 23rd.
Secretary Bryan Says Guarantee
of Safety Is Obuiated- Nuns
and Priests Haze Gone.

Washington, D. C.-Monday, No.
vember 20, was fixed as the date for
the evacuation of Vera Cruz by the
American forces. Secretary Bryan
has issued this announcement:
Both General Carranza and the
convention at Aguas Calientes having
given the assurances and guarantees
we requested, it is the purpose of the
administration to withdraw the troops
of the United States from Vera Cruz
on Monday, November 20.
"All the persons there for whose
personal safety this government has
made itself responsible have left the
city. The priests and nuns who had
taken refuge there, and for whose
safety fears were entertained, are now
on their way to this country"
This statement was given out after
a long conference between Mr.. Bryan
and President Wilson. 1t apparently
was received with surprise in some
official quarters. The general under
standing has been that the evacuation
might be delayed indefinitely pending
reports on the alignment of the var
ious Mexican chiefs in the latest civil
war now in progress. Secretary
Bryan declined to add to the formal
saying details would be
made public by the War department.
Secretary Garrison had nothing to say,
and to just what authority the port of
Vera Cruz would be delivered was not
made plain.
It has been assumed, however, that
as the United States throughout the
Mexican difficulties has dealt with the
authorities actually in control of ter
ritory involved, the city would be
turned over to an agent of General
Carranza, probably General Candido
Aguilar, commanding the constitutions
alist forces in the state of Vera Cruz.
=
So far as lis known, there has been
no final decision as to when and whom
the more than million dollars of
Mexican customs moneys now held by
the United States shall be paid. Both
Carranza and the Aguas Calientes con-
vention have given guarantees that
customs duties collected at Vera Cruz
will not be reimposed. In view of the
complications which might arise, how
ever, in the event Carranza were driv-
en- from power by Villas army sup
porting General Gutierrez, the conven-
tion's new provisional president, it has
been suggested that payment of the
money might be withheld pending a
Qualification of the situation.

Powder Valley Irrigation
Project to Be Revived

Baker-Work on the Powder Valley
Irrigation company project will begin
next spring, according to plans an
nounced by ]. A. Almirall, New York
capitalist, who arrived here to visit
the project. Mr.. Almirall said that
the plans as now mapped out are to
build the toe of the Balm Creek dam
next spring and thereby to store
enough water to irrigate at least 1000
acres. The Balm Creek dam is north
of the lower Powder. M
Mr.. Almirall left for the site of the
operations with w. A. Stewart, local
representative of the company.
Mr.. Almirall's announcement means
much toward the development of
Baker county, as its points to resump-
tion of operations on the project,
which ultimately will furnish water
for the Powder river valley. 1t also
answers the question of whether the

project.
I'VE cannot start more than this
work at this time, !" said Mr.. Almirall.
"With the present condition of the
money market it is impossible to think
of going ahead with any attempt to
finance this undertaking. l look for
no immediate relief in the financial
situation. The European war is MAX
ing itself felt acutely and until condi-
tions are more settled the price of
money will remain high. We can,
however, make this start, and then
possibly within two years we will be
able to go ahead and finance the prof.
ect. There is a possibility the next
congress will pass land legislation
which will relieve the situation and
enable us to proceed with the entire
project"
The company has already done $685.

DRY" Majonty Is SO, 900.

Prohibition secured majority of
approximately $4,000 in the recent
statewide election.
Practically complete returns from
every county in the state give a total
of 1874, 106 in favor of the amendment
and 98,209 against it. This is fa-
vorable majority of 35,S97. A few
outlying precincts in some Central and
Eastern Oregon counties may not be
included in these totals, and If they
give the same vote in favor of prohi-
bition as given in the other rural dis
tricts the majority doubtless will reach
$4,000.
The vote on the amendment to abol-
ish capital punishment is close and
doubtless will require the official can
vass to decide.

Health Bill for Cattle
Ordered by Governor

Salem-A quarantine proclamation
issued by Governor West here against
the foot and mouth disease prohibits
the shipping Of livestock into the state
from states where the disease exists
unless thorough inspection has been
made and permission given by the
proper state or Federal authorities.
1t further is provided that the quaran-
tine shall apply to hog cholera serum,
vaccine and other extracts of animal
origin, unless no infection exists where
they are manufactured.
Shipments of livestock from coun-
ties where the disease does not exist
in states that are infected are not pro-
hibited by the proclamation provided
cars are disinfected thoroughly before
being loaded, and unloaded en- route in
yards that have been disinfected.
Health certificates giving this infor-
nation from Federal inspectors must
accompany the shipments.
Olympia, Wash.-Dr. H. T. Graves,
state agricultural commission, has
gone to Portland to attempt to arrange
modification of the quarantine rega-
lations of Washington and Oregon to
allow free shipment of livestock be-
tween the two states, in neither of
which foot and mouth disease has de-
veloped.
Shortage of carbolic acid is faced
here on account of the large quantities
used for car and stockyarad disinfec-
tion, and state and Federal depart
ments in consequence have authorized
the use Of chloride of lime and for
maldehyde as substitute disinfectants.
