The following argument Is being

81 500 tax exemption which will be
voted upon at the coming general cleo
tlop. In II we fail to find provision
wherein II will assist the small town

ness, rests on the basis Of tho taxed
valuation OF property, and with the
proposed $500 exemption 10 elfect, at

U'Ren says:

why this sudden clamor for bridge

Why this sudden clamor for bridge
of Mission? Who would it benefit.
except those selfshly interested 10
seeing the projected bridge at Thorn
Hollow crossing fall through with!
There is already a bridge at Cayuse,
five miles above Mission. the proposed
site of the new bridge. From the
Cayuse fridge, two good roads lead to
Pendleton; one on each side Of the
river. making it utterly useless for a
bridge at Mission only five miles
above Pendleton and radius of D
aud one-half miles of territory north
Of Mission to the Wild Horse macad-
am road which has cost the county
thousands of dollars to construct
---one mile and three quarters to the
dividing line Of choice between taking
the macadam road or the river road
into Pendleton. That's all there Is to
the territory tributary to the proposed
Fridge crossing at Mission 10 compar.
ison with the territory tributary to
the proposed bridge at Thorn Hollow
which embraces thousands of acres
north of the river, the wheat from
which goes 10 the warehouses at
Thorn Hollow station besides giving
the farmers and travelling public in
gress to this part Of the county direct
instead Of being compelled to travel
sixteen miles via the Cayuse bridge
when the Thorn Hollow crossing Is
unfoldabls. 1t ia well known fact
that the county and Indian Depart.
ment will not build two bridges. nor
ID there any need Of two bridge at this
time. But there Is crying need for
cne at Thorn Hollow and the people
Of this portion Of Umatilla county,
where the need is urgently felt, should
at once investigate and find who or
what interests are at the bottom Of
the Mission Fridge agitation. One
mile snd three quarters north by two
and a-half up and down the river be-
tween the proposed Mission bridge and
the Pendleion bridge does not compare
very we'll with the vast territory trib
utary to and the convenience the
Thorn Hollow bridge would serve the
large number Of people. If location
of bridges Is to be made in accordance
with the whims Of automobile speed

men who have leased Indian lauds

their homes in Pendleton, now is The

COSSON WOULD HOLD LAKES.
Wants State to Own Lake Beds When
Drained.

Des Moines. July 24.-Attorney Cen
eral George Cosson's idea that the state
should retain possession of the lake
beds reclaimed by drainage, probably
will be adopted by the state executive
council. At a conference held yester-
day. it was determined that persons
petitioning for the drainage of Rush
lake in Palo Alto county shall be asked
to abandon their efforts until after the
legislature meets next winter, so that
a change in the drainage laws can be
secured
The attorney general also wants all
future drainage of marsh lands and
abandoned lakes to be done by prison
ers from the state penitentiaries.
The change desired in the law is so
as to give the state the privilege of
keeping the swamp lands which are
drained. The law now requires the
state to sell the land to the owner of
the adjoining property. IL he wants it.
Usually the state is assessed more than
the land Is worth. for the draining.
The executive council has declared
that no lakes in Iowa shall be drained.
But there are five or six marshy spots
which once were called lakes, which
probably will be drained. Any lake
deep enough to row a boat on will not
be disturbed, 1t is said.

PERFECTION IN ARMY SHOES.
Shoemakine Contest For Government
Contracts End.

Washington. July PA nation-wide

close by the awarding of two army
contracts to the winners Pre- uced 24o

military footsear ever manufacturers

who passed upon them.
Next to the quality Of the gun Nc

perts. more depends upon the condi-
ton of the shoe he wears than upon
any other factor that goes toward the
make up of an effective soldier
AS result of this feeling. the
United States army quartermasters
have evolved shoe which. they say
makes the American lighting man the
best shod soldier in the world.
1t took over a year of continual and
careful experiment before satisfactory
results were reached Countless X-ray
photographs were made; the position
of the bones of the feet We're noted and
the anatomy before during and after
marches We're studied and compared
All this time different models We're
tried and theories We're worked out
Finally the type of shoe was devolved
with it's straight line on the big toe
side. its snug instep and e chance for
the toes to lie as freely and naturally
as in a moccasin.
When the theory of scientifically
covering the foot had been established
to the satisfaction of the army eN-
perts, various manufa cturers placed
their plants at the armv's disposal in
the hope they would be rewarded with
the valuable contracts to supply the
5000 pairs worn ont in years
marching for Uncle sam.
But the quartermastev corps did not
limit itself TO a single firm. They
worked out a system of having each
firm submit sample of what il could
do. Two pairs of shoes We're offered
by each bidder, showing the manufac-
turers ability TO meet specifications,

the result. and OUT OF these are being

HARPooNED A BIG SHARK.
Weapon Hastily Made From Bamboo
Rod and Clasp Knife.

To harpoon a shark in the Delaware
bay with a weapon hastily constructed
from a section of bamboo fishing rod
and clasp knife was the experience
of William Mag, clerk in the Dover
postoffice.
He and his companions were fishing
in a rowboat when they noticed that
the baited hooks and sin|sers Of their
lines had been snapped off. Mag said
that a shark was near by and he began
to shape the crude har2oon. A few
minutes later the shark appeared less
than twenty feet away. Maag' threw
the harpoon. The shark leaped from
the water and then headed for the
boat Maags companions rowed des-
peratey and pulled out of danger.
Then began struggle that. continued
for a quarter Of an hour. The shark
finally died from loss Of blood. The

measured seven feet-Cleveland Plain
