All Motor Vehicles Must Garry
Licenses

Because Of the many infringements
upon the provisions Of the law in re-
ference to proper licensing Of auto
mobiles it has become necessary for
the Motor Vehicle Division under I.
M. Howell, Secretary Of State to pay
stricter attention to section Of the
Motor Vehicle Code. This section
provides that:
A license to be valid must have in
dorsed thereon the signature of the
owner or the duly authorized agent of
such owner. Such license must be
carried upon the vehicle for which it
was issued at all times when such
vehicle is being operated on the public
highways. Any person in charge of
such vehicle shall, upon demand of
any Of the local authorities or Of any
peace officer, or OF any representative
Of the secretary of states Office permit
an inspection of the same. Upon
application supported by affidavit of
loss or destruction OF a license and up
on payment OF fee required therefor,
a duplicate copy thereof shall be issued
This phase of the law has never
been strictly enforced up to this time,
partially because there were so many
other enfringements of the law which
seemed more detrimental and which
required special concentration to
prevent. Now, however, since the law
Of 1917 has materially increased the
fees to be paid for all machines, some
unscrupulous motor vehicle operators
are trying to save little money at the
expense of the state by taking a license
Of low classification, say one costing
$500 and using it in place of one of
high valuation, say $1,000. In some
cases operators have gone so far as to
use licenses costing only $4,000 in
place OF licenses costing S250,00.
Not only is this an infringement of an
important phase Of the motor vehicle
law but it amounts to robbing the state
Of considerable revenue.
Instructions are therefore being sent
out to all field deputies Of the Motor
Vehicle Division to pay particular
attention to the enforcing Of that
feature Of the law. In every case
where it seems desirable to do so they
will ask to see the license. Persons
who do not have this license with them
as the law provides or who have a
license which does not belong to that
particular car will be liable to such
penalties as are provided for in the
law. 1t is very much hoped that the
prosecutions resulting from neglecting
TO observe this section OF the auto
mobile code will be reduced to mini

LUMBER SHORTAGE is
PREDICTED BY MILLMEN
Inland Empire Mills Are Now Short Is
per cent of Their Normal Cut-la-
Dor Trouble the Cause

Due to labor shortage and other
causes, it is estimated that the cut oil
the Inland Empire lumber mills which
includes eastern Oregon, eastern Wash
ington, Idaho and Montana, will be re-
duced in 1917 about 25 per cent from
a normal cut Of 1900 million feet. The
estimate given was obtained from the
mills represented at the semi-annual
meeting OF the Western Pine Manu-
facturers Association, held in Portland
August /.
1t is estimated that the cut has been
reduced SO per cent OF normal for the
past six months in the Inland Empire.
Due to the fact that logging has been
practically suspended and that logs for
next years cut are not being put in
the water, the shortage OF pine lumber
next spring will be the greatest in the
history OF the Inland Empire. Some
mills operating at present are running
with only few days supply OF logs
ahead, and with the unsettled labor
conditions in the woods, there is not
very much prospect for general i'm
provement.
The Great Northern Lumber Co., Of
this city is behind 25 million feet Of
their normal cut.

Burned By Electric Current

Tim German an engine wiper at
Cascade Tunnel, in some way not ex-
planned, came into contact with one
of the high power electric wires that
furnish the power to operate trains thru
the tunnel, Tuesday night. DR.. Hox-
sey was called from here and brought
the man to the Leavenworth Hospital
where he will be for some time. Both
feet were badly burned and his whole
system was affected. The doctor says
German will recover but as electric
burns are slow in healing he will be
out OF commission for some time.

Corn Value In The Corn Belt

Mr.. NJ. o. Van Brocklin gave US a
copy Of his old home paper, The Pro-
gress- Review, La Porte, Iowa, in which
we found an item of news that may be
interesting as showing how the war
brought prosperity to the corn grower.
When we made mention last week
Of load OF corn that Matt Mayes
brought to town few days ag) and
took home a check for oyer S12S for
the load, it was thought that was a
record breaker. But this week beats
that record by big margin in a load
Of corn delivered at the Farmers Ex-
change elevator the first Of this week
by Leo F. Bedard. Mr.. Bedard
brought in one load of shelled corn
that weighed out 78 bushels and 81
pounds. The corn was sold for So. IS
per bushel and the check for the load
was S167.35. Such an amount Of
money for one load of corn reads like
fairy tale, but it is stern reality to the
man who has corn to buy. Mr.. Be
dard sold 535 bushels and 20 pounds
of corn and received S1,140 81 for
the corn.

bitten by a rattlesnake yesterday. The
child was forced to walk half a mile to
his home after being bitten and by the

Although he is very i'll the doctors say
there is a chance for his recovery.
