ISSUE BONDS UNDER
BEAN BARRETT LAW

The entire fund to match the fed
eral appropriation under the Shackle-
ford act will be raised in Oregon by
bonds under the Bean-Barrett bonding
bill, according to the opinion of the
supreme court. The decision was rem
dered in friendly suit of the state
highway commission against the
board of control. The court man
damused the control board to issue
bonds in such amounts as are required.
The above news of the supreme
courts decision was received with
qualification Tuesday by W. L. Thomp-
son, eastern 0regon's member of the
association, says the East Orgonian.
The decision means the commission is
upheld in its stand by the supreme
court said Mr.. Thompson. "Also that
the commission will have approxima-
tely quarter Of. million dollars more
money each year. This is from the
quarter mill tax. AS matters now
stand the commission will have use of
the six million dollars bond money in
accordance with the law, of the auto
license money, about $500, 900 a year.
the quarter mill tax. netting $220, 900
a year and of additional bonds to be
sold under the Bean Barrett law to
meet the requirements of the Shackle-
ford law. The decision will be of
great help in carrying out highway
work"
Mr.. Thompson received word that
the authorities at Washington have
approved the Oregon commission s
, forest road budget, covering proposed
work for the next three years. In
this budget 5000 is provided for the
road between Pendleton and La Grande
and the $50, 900 for the road from Pilot
Rock to Prairie City. The program
includes the allotment of 800, 900 for
hard surfacing part of the highway be-
tween Pendleton and Walla Walla.

DRAFT EXEMPTION
BOARDS ARE NAMED

Following the announcement that
President Wilson had approved the per-
sonnel of exemption boards in the diff
ferent states, Governor Withycombe
authorized the publication Saturday
night of the list of 46 exemption boards
in Oregon.
The names of the members of the
board were given out by George A..
White, Adjutant General.
The problem of selecting the men,
bers for exemption boards has been a
difficult one and Governor Withycombe
has had it under consideration for some
time. In view of the good work done
by the county registration boards
composed in each case of the Sheriff,
County Clerk and county physician, in
taking the war census, he finally de-
cided to reappoint them to pass on ex-
emptions from the draft.
Members of the boards in most cases
live in the county seat of their county
and are thoroughly familiar with condi-
tions in the county. Out tside of Port
land, also, members of the boards
know personally great many of the
men upon whose cases they will have
to pass.
Governor Withycombe feels also that
the boards he has named will be thor
oughly non-partisan in their work and
that they will not permit any "ball
playing" or politics in any way to
influence their decisions.
Should anything of this sort occur,
however, the Governor is prepared to
act Immediately, and summary remov-
ais from the boards would follow.
With two exceptions there will be
one exemption board in each county.
The two exceptions are Marion county
and the city of Portland.
Marion county having population
of more than $4,000 will have two
boards.
The city of Portland will have ten
boards. The first nine of these boards
are the same ones that handled the war
census registration there. The tenth
board is a new one, formed by dividing,
one of the former nine districts into
two districts.
For Umatilla county, the exemption
board will comprise, T. D. Taylor,
r. F. Brown, and DR.. D. j. McFaul.

FIVE TOWNS IN PATH
OF BROKEN UTAH DAM

The dam of the Price River Irriga-
tion Company, impounding 1000 acre
feet of water, ~ miles northeast Of
Fairview, Utah, began to break Sun
day. At midnight a centre span of
the dam 80 feet wide and five feet
deep had broken off and the waters
of the reservoir were rapidly eating
away the protecting earth fill.
In the path of the rushing waters
were the towns of Scofeld, Helper,
Csstlegate, Cotton and Price. People
of Helper, Castlegate and Cotton have
fled fiom their homes.
Several thousand acres of farm
lands are flooded. Hundreds of work
ers have been sent out to watch the
tracks of the Price-Scofield branch of
the Denver and Rio Grande Railway,
where 40 miles of track are threatened
along the main line in the vicinity of
Price.
Officials Of the irrigation company
and Government experts who are at the
dam say there is no hope of saving the
structure. All efforts are being cen
tralized to clear the path for the wat
ers should the dam suddenly give way
rather than succumb to the gradual
washing out through the accidental
spillway.
So far no loss of lives has been re-
ported, but immense damage to grow
ing crops has resulted.
The population of Castlegate is 1850,
Price $500, Helper 1000, Scofeld 500
and Cotton $50.

Women Make Good
As Engine Wipers

Master Mechanic Cutler, of the
Northern Pacific shops at Parkwater,
near Spokane, is rather proud of his
new engine wiping squad, composed of
women.
This is a new form of preparedness
for war conditions that the railroad has
been developing resulting from the
successful attempt to use women in
the work of cleaning and supplying
passenger coaches.
Each woman wears tight cap over
her hair, neat fitting blouse and
overalls. Out in the big roundhouses
they crawl over and under the big mo.
guls, polishing all the bearings, wiping
off surplus oil and generally putting the
locomotive in shape for road service.
"I'm putting on dozen or more
Monday" Mr.. Cutler explained. "They
like the work, get paid exactly what
the men earn and do just about as well. I"

COUNTIES PREPARE
FOR STATE FAIR

More counties will participate in
the State Fair exhibits this year than
last and present indications are that
the exhibits will be more varied, more
attractive and better in quality" was
the statement of Mrs. Winnie Braden.
of Dallas, superintendent of the horti-
cultural and agricultural departments
of the fair. She coupled this with the
statement that 40 counties, three more
than last year, have signified their in
tention of sending county exhibits.
"Since the fair this year will also be
converted into food training camp,
the agricultural and horti ticultural de-
partments with view of increasing
crop production and checking food
waste will endeavor to put on as many
educational features as is possible.
Coos county won first prize in the
first district last year and assurances
have been received by Mrs. Braden that
this county will send even better ex-
hibits than last fair. Tillamook won
second last year.
In the second district last year Polk
carried away first honors, Linn second,
jackson third, Benton fourth and Doug
las fifth. Multnomah, Clackamas,
Washington, Josephine and Marion also
showed in this district. All CT them
will lie represented by splendid exhibits
this fall and the indications are that
competition will be exceptionally keen.
Wasco was first at the last fair in
the third district, Union second, Bak- :

Sugar Not Necessary

Fruit for use in pie or salads or as
stewed fruit can be put up or canned
without the use of any slgar at all, ac-
cording to the canning specialists Of
the Department of Agriculture. They,
therefore, advise those who because of
the high price of sugar have been think
ing of reducing the amount of fruit
they put up to can as much of their
surplus as possible by the use of boil
ing water when sugar syrup is beyond
their MEANS. Any fruit, they say,
may be successfully sterilized and re-
tanned in the pack by simply ad ding
boiling water instead of hot syrup.
The use of sugar, of course, is desir-
able in the canning of all kinds of
fruits. and makes a better and ready
sweetened product. Moreover, most
of the fruits when canned in water
alone do not retain their natural flavor,
texture and color as well as fruit put
up in syrup. Fruit canned without
sugar to be used for sauces and des-
serts must be sweetened.
