Now that SO have taken examina-
tions in the various courses which have
been given at the postoffice Red Cross
rooms, il is hoped that these viii not
consider their work finished and that
they are no longer needed there. In
fact, so says Mrs. H. Z. Clay, they are
needed more than ever before, because
of their superior knowledge, and of
their more efficient training.
Packing of the supply boxes is under
way at the postoffice today. There
are many pairs of sox, many band
ages and a great lot of surgical sup
plies which will be sent to San Fran
cisco either today or tomorrow.
Look Out for Fraud.
There have been occasions in the
district over which the Willamette
chapter has control of persons solicit
ing annual memberships for the Red
Cross who state that there are dues to
be paid during the year. Mrs. Etta
Squier Seeley wishes the public to
remember that 81 pays for an annual
membership and that there are no
further dues or payments for member
ship. If such representations have
been made, as are stated above, the
person or persons making them are
misleading the public. Such persons
will be discovered if such solicitation
! continues and their names will be
made public.
A letter was received from SuNel

which means a mental delusion

the rest of the world must be
mercilessly annihilated. This
craze must be destroyed or our
boasted civilization will go to
pieces. This is the duty of the
hour this is the problem to
solve.
The people of Newport have
taken up the problem of food
preparedness and are planting a
great many of the vacant lots

men here now. Those a few
weeks ago who could not get
work have gone to other parts Of
the state and have found work.
Notwithstanding the people
voted unanimously to bond the
two port districts to improve the
harbor, it may not be done this
year, as the Government will
not take any new projects of
harbor improvement until this
was is over. This will be a dis
appointment but the farmers
can go on improving their ranch
and farm property, raising more
stock, cultivating more land,
building more creameries and
cheese factories, raise more hogs
and keep more goats and sheep
and thus build up their wealth
The farmers are the bankers oi

JESSE HALL MURDERED
REMAINS FOUND IN TENT

Jesse Hall, who has been
wanted for some time for the
robbery of Seal Rock cottages,
was found this week by Mark
Guilliams of Beaver Creek. His
decomposed remains being
found in a tent that was conceal
ed in the thick salal brush a
short distance from Seal Rocks.
That Hall was murdeded there
is no question as he had been
shot once in the back and once
in the leg, the rifle with which
he had been killed was found
lying outside the tent. Sheriff
.Geer and Coroner Carter at once
hurried to the scene, and took
charge of the body, which was
buried yesterday.
Hall was an eX-conWct, and
has been implicated with young
Carl Don Tuell in the robbery of
the summer cottages at Seal
Rocks. Tuell was recently cap
tured at Albany and brought
here for trial, and about three
weeks ago was taken to the Re-
form School at Salem. When
captured Tuell had a large guam
tity of loot in his possession,
and told the officers that he and
Hall had divided up their booty
and that Hall had struck out for
Mexico. He expressed a fear of
Hall, telling that Hall had
threatened to kill him on several
occasions while under the in
fluence of liquor. 1t is now
thought that Tuell shot Hall i'm
order to make good his escape.
Booty of all descriptions was
contained in She tent where the
remains were found, consisting
of canned goods, bric-a-brac,
guns, several quarts of booze,
and even a phonograph. One OF
the cottages robbed was that of
Joe Baker of Portland, formerly
a guard at the pcnitentiary, and
from this cottage Hall stole
3O3 Savage rifle which Baker
had formerly used in guarding
Hall while the latter was serving
time. 1t was the irony of fate
that this same rifle should be
the one used in killing Hall.
Hall, while in the pen. was
one of ex-governor Vests honor
men, and as such made his es-
cape and was captured near
Il odgett after a chase of several
weeks, West aiding in his cap
ture.
His aged parents live near
where the remains were found,
and attended the funeral, which
was held at Ona.
