Interest in Portland's new

cavating for which is under
way at st. Johns. is not confin-
ed to taxpayers of the zone
which will contribute for the
work by any means, for in the
Inland Empire it is said pro.
gress for the project is being
closely followed, as growers
expect to have their wheat
routed via Portland when it is
already. G.. b. Hegardt, chief
enigneer of the Commission of
Public Docks, and who has
charge of the work, attended a
session of growers at Perdleton
recently. while he met more
during the past week who were
delegates to the convention of
County Judges, Commissioners,
Clerks and District Attorneys.

some residents of the interior

show progress of construction.
In. the interor are many com.

and. with others at tidewater,
it will be possible to handle

Ruth LAW TO FLY
AT NATIONAL FAIR
Americas Greatest Aviatrix TO
Appear Ten Days at New
Orleans.

Ruth Law, Americas greatest aviA
srix. will be at New Orleans for the
full term OF the National Farm aud
Live Stock Show. Nov. 10 to 10. and
will make spectacular day and night
flights.
Within the past year the name OK
Ruth Law has become a household
word all over the United States. In
quick succession she has set one new
flying record after another, and has
performed many dangerous and diff
cult feats with her aeroplane. She
came into national fame when she
made her record breaking flight from
Chicago to New York.
Some time ago Miss Law rendered
her services TO the United States gov
eminent for the European front Be-
cause she IL a woman and Americans
do not believe in having women do
their fighting. her offer has not been
accepted.
But Miss Law still clerishes an am
bition to fly battle plane on the AL
lied western front-a dueling airplane.
She has seen the French and English
aviators in their maneuvers and has
flown with some OF them in their prac'
tice flights. She believes she could
handle one OF the fragile machines in
the twisting, turning, falling combats
OF the air.
Miss Law recently said:
III Woodrow Wilson, president OF
the United States and Commanderin-
chief of our military forces, were to

should fly away on my bombing mis-
sion not only with free conscience.
but with a glad heart"
In the meantime Miss Law Is doing
her mite for Amer6a. A few days ago
she subscribed $4,000 to the second
Liberty Loan. A great favorite with
the boys in khaki. she Is arranging
for a series OF flights for the soldiers
entertainment at various environments
over the country.
During her comparatively long stay
in New Orleans she will thrill the
fairs visitors by looping the loop and
performing numerous feats which no
one except herself ha. yet succeeded
In mastering. Recently she surpassed
all records by making the loop twenty
one times in a single flight. Her night
flights will be illuminated by beauti'
ful and dazzling pyrotechnic displays.
Miss Law commands $1,000 per day,
by far the highest salary paid any
flyer in the world In securing her
services I. B. Rennyson. manager OF
the show, is maintaining his policy OF
offering none except the finest attrac.
lions obtainable.

them. a man from Kentucky, who had
met a wealthy coal baron from Par

spent two hours studying the maps

culiarly placed In the great organIza-

They will have a major place IN the
thoughts of the general public, which
always has ignored. except in the most
abstract way, the existence OF Il rcgu-

Guard will be over the water and in
the midst of things before the regis

without dwelling on the justice Of it
you can bet that Company Q of PO-
dunk will be mentioned oftener In the
press stories than any similar unit of

others, would say to our Guardsmen:
1.-THE National Guard will soon be
engaged in one of the largest and most
difficult undertakings, in military
way, that has been attempted in this
country since the Civil war. That is
your mobilization at camps, transfer

gained in the mobilization of last

CATTLE DIE FROM LACK OF
FOOD IN GATEWAY SECTION
Grand Junction Sentinel:

Grand junction Sentinel:
Due to the unusually late spring
and the long hard winter, during
which time all cattle in the Hannah
creek and Gateway sections have had
to be fed, it is reported that num-
bers of cattle in both these sections
are dying and that Mesa county is
losing thousands Of dollars this year
because the cattlemen cannot buy hay
and there Is nothing to feed the ami
mails.
Ed Gordon, one Of the largest cat
tlenI.n in the Gateway section, is re-
ported to have lost number Of cat
tie recently and the Massey brothers
are also said to be heavy losers.
In Hannah creek the situation Is the
same, some Of the cattlemen being
unable to buy hay enough for their
r,ilch cows. Jack Casio who has until
recently been shipping 80 gallons Of
cream . week to this city is now
only shipping between 20 and 25 gal
Ions Of cream.
Most Of the cattlemen have had no
hay for the past six weeks and snow
on the top Of the mesa where the cat
tie are accustomed to feed at this time
of the year is reported to be fifteen
inches deep.
