FARMERS ASK WHAT
LIME BOARD IS DOING

Roseburg, Sept. S.-Citizens OF
Douglas and Jackson counties In
terested in lime deposits which they
had hoped the state lime board
would purchase are beginning to
think that the members OF that
board have no intention Of comply
ing with the provisions OF the law
adopted at the last session OF the
state legislature. with refernce to
furnishing the farmers Of this state
with lime fertilizer at reasonable
cost, Is the belief OF many ranchers i
residing In Douglas county.
Senator B. L. Eddy. who was one
OF the most ardent supporters OF
the lime bill. stated this morning
that nothing was being done by the
board up to the present time. In
order to lend the ranchers whatever
assistance as was possible, Senator
Eddy few days ago wrote letter
to Warden Murphy, OF the state
penitentiary, in which he. asked the
latter member OF the fme board
what had been done with reference
to carrying out the provisions OF
the act appropriating money with
which to crush limerick and place
the same in the hands OF the farm
ers. Senator Eddy received reply
from Mr.. Murphy to the effect that
he had referred the letter to A. u.
Cordley. chairman OF the board.
Senator Eddy then wrote letter to
Mr.. Cordley, but has received no re-
ply.
A few weeks after the Legislature
adopted the law, the members Of the
lime board made tour Of Douglas
and Jackson counties and found sev-
eral deposits OF limerick. Members
Of the board stated at that time that
they intended to begin operations at

S8,OOO, 100000 BILL
 PASSED BY SENATE
WAR DEFICIENCY APPRoPRlA- TON MEASURE GOES TO
 CONFERENCE.

shington.-Without roll call, and after brief debate. the Senate passed the $S.000,000,O00 war deticien- cy appropriation bill. Nearly $800,- 100000 was added to the measure as it came from the House, and it now goes to conference.
 Items for many millions of dollars were approved with only handful of senators present and without discus sion as they were when the bill pass eu the House unanimously. Minor provisions only evoked debate.
 Senator Martin, chairman of the ap- propriatlons committee and Democrat ic floor leader, urged sharp scrutiny of what he termed extravagant and almost reckless departmental esti- mates. He said appropriations dur ing five months of war would reach about $20,OO0, 0,O00,000, and expressed concern lest next years total might be $5O,000,O00,000.
 We are compelled to shut our eyes and appropriate a great deal rather than hamper our men on the battle field" said the senator. "We must give every dollar necessary to prose- cute the war, but our duty is to trim down extravagant and useless appro- priations. The governments finances are in a perilous situation.
 Are we going to impoverish the country? Yes, if necessary to win this war, but in Gods name don't let's spend money unless absolutely neces- sary."
 Over the Democratic leaders oppo- sition the Senate adopted, 2S to 26, an amendment by Senator Robinson, ap- propriating s5O0,000 for the employ ment bureau of the Department of La bor.
 At it goes to conference the bill to- tals $7,991, 100000, including S2,385,- 100000 of contract authorizations and Senate committee amendments total ing $779,00O,O00.

u. 5. TO BUILD l,2OO
 MERCHANT VESSELS
GOVERNMENTS SHIP BUILDING PROGRAMME Is A TONNAGE
 OF 6,ooo,ooo.

Washington.-The magnitude of the American governments shipbuiIding programme was revealed for the first time in a statement by the shipping board showing that nearly 1900 mer- chant vessels of about 5000, 900 ton mage will be completed within a lit tie more than year.
 Completion of the ships comman- deered in ship yards and of vessels ac- tually about to be contracted for will give to the country fleet of l. 600 ships, with a total tonnage of more than S,000,000. In addition to this the board will complete in 1919 vessels already contracted for and un- der negotiation of about 4,O00, ,00O tons A billion dollars has just been asked of Congress to complete the pro- gramme.
 The United States now is leading the world in shipbuilding and if the present rate of construction were kept up would become the leading shipping nation of the world in a few years.
  ing tonnage is about 15,O00,O00, are hampered in building by lack of men and materials. In all other countries except Japan building virtually is at a standstill.
 America now has a total overseas tonnage of 2,400,000, to which has been added about 100000 tons of Ger man and Austrian shipping. Japan has 100000 tons; Italy, 1,950,00o; France, 1,8S0,0O0; Norway. 1,650.000: Holland, 1,475,000; Sweden, S6n.000; Denmark, 690,000; Spain, 750,eoO; Russia, 550.000; Portugal, 100000, and all of South America, S00,000.
 The shipping board is making every effort to obtain engines, boilers and other equipment for the vessels to be built and in most instances con tracts have been placed.
 An industrial service department has just been established by the fleet corporation which, with the Depart ment of Labor, will assist ship5uild- CTS in obtaining labor. It also will establish system of vocational schools to train workmen.
 Chairman Hurley of the shipping board and Admiral Capps, general manager of the fleet corporation, ex- pect to start soon on a tour of the country's ship yards to inspect the work.

SENATE ASKED ID
 EXPEL LA TOILETTE
FIVE PETITIONS ASKING ExpUL SION OF WISCONSIN MAN
 PRESENTED.
LA TOILETTE IS SILENT
Senator Pomerene, Who Is Chairman of Committee On Privileges and Elections Said He Would Discuss
 Question With the Committee.

Washington.-There is little dispo- sition in the Senate to discuss the loyalty of its membsgs. For that req son there is little likelihood that the charges of disloyalty lodged against Senator LaFollette by the Minnesota Public Safety Commission and other individual citizens will be pressed. This was strongly indicated following presentation of five petitions for ex- pulsion of LaFollette on the ground that he has preached sedition.
 Senator Kellogg, Minnesota, intro- duced the Minnesota Public Safety resolution, bearing the signature of the governor, attorney general and members of the commission, who de- clared that LaFollette's speech at St. Paul September 20 was "disloyal and seditious." It was such that Urea sonable sentiment in the State of Min nesota" has been created and tthe sup port of the government has been weakened.
 The other four peLIllons were pre- sented by Vice President Marshall upon recommendation of local citi- zens representing the Washburn, Wise, Loyalty League, demanding i'm peachment of LaFollette flor his trea- sonable utrerances and disloyalty to our government" by w. A. Coombe, d Washington, D. C., attorney; c. w. Canton, New York City, who said "our sons giving up their lives for the cause of their country should not he compelled to listen to such traitors in our midst" and D. M. Jones, Wasting ton, D. c.
 All five petitions are in the hands of the committee on privileges and elections Of which Senator Pomerene is chairman. Pomerene said he will talk with committee members.
 Until then I can't say what the committee will do," he said, "of the Is members of the committee, nine are in Washington. Two of these strongly favor committee action. Neither, however, would permit the use of his name in connectic7 with Ills views.
 Most members of the committee, though unwilling to discuss the proba- ble action, indicated they believe the petitions will be allowed to lie on the table. Meanwhile LaFollette, ap- parently undisturbed, went to acct ing of the finance committee. Pressed for a statement, he said, smilingly:
 I'm not making any statements whatsoever"
 It was in anticipation of speech by LaFollette answering his critics that leaders determined to put the lid on any discussion by calling an eXecu- tive session.
 We cant prevent any senator from speaking" said member of the rules committee, but we can prevent him using the Congressional Record for dissemination of a speech indicating a serious lack of harmony in this body"

Over z and Under IS.

J. L. Bond, superintendent of pub 1ic instruction, had to cali on the at torney general for an opinion relative to the ages of children who come un- der the compulsory education law. The act passed by the 1917 legislature reads that any person having any child in custody "between the ages of seven and fifteen, both inclusive. shall send such child or children 10 public, private or parochial school.
 Superintendent Bond was inclined to believe that children aged seven and aged IS were included in the pro- visions of the act, but in a verbal opinion, Attorney General Arbucl1le said that only those children over sev- en and under 15 years of age are in cluded.

CR|TTENDEN BRIDGE
 OPENED ID TRAFFIC
CONNECTS WEST END OF J. T HARAHAN BRIDGE WITH ST.
 FRANCIS LEVEE.
STRUCTURE COST S147,OO0
Is Final Link Connecting Memphis With Arkansas And All Points
 West" For Vehicle Traffic-Yia-
 duct Fully Insured Against Fire.
Marion

Marion Crittenden county, through it's via duct commission, has accepted the viaduct which connects the west end of the J. T. Harahan bridge with the St. Francis levee The viaduct official ]y was thrown open to the public for traffic purposes.
 Without this viaduct the wagonways of the big free bridge would be of no value when the river is up. as all roads on this side of the levee then are under water. The long wooden causeway, however, is built to with stand 51-foot stage of the river, by the Memphis gauge, which is five feet higher than the crest of the worst stage experienced here.
 The yiaduct, probably the longest of it's kind in the United States, is 13.300 feet, or 2.6 miles in length. It cost s147,000
 It is supported by 3,25S billings, which laid end to end would make a stick of timber 20 miles long. In the flooring and railings of the causeway 1,750,000 feet of lumber was used.
 Earthen embankments at the end of the bridge and near the levee con- tain 15,000 cubic yards of dirt.
 Vehicles have plenty of room to pass at any point on the structure, and at Bridge Junction siding has been built to furnish further accom- modations of this sort
 Inability to speed up the flow of materials was all that prevented com pletion of the viaduct in May. Work men did not cease operating pile driv- CTS during high water, and in driving hundreds of timbers into the water not single stump was hit
 The viaduct Is fully insured against fire.
 Suggestion has been made that the city of Memphis and Crittenden coun- ty would do we'll to make joint ar rangement whereby incandescent lighting equipment might be installed on the structure.
 It's value to Crittenden county and to the city of Memphis cannot be es- timated, though the men who fought for it's construction believe that it will accomplish wonders for all Its completion marks full realization of the plans of the men who made the fight for the J. T. Harahan bridge and all the things needed to make it most effective for the public good
