REASON IS GIVEN FOR
THE VESTS LACK OF OIL

Lack Of sufficient number of purely
cargo bottoms, and the casts supposed
misunderstanding of western condi-
tions, are two elements that have Great
ed an oil shortage in the west, accord
ing to San Francisco oil experts.
The oil experts make this explana-
tion as their view of the real reasons
for the threatened crippling of west
ern industries due to lack of fuel oil.
The bottoms, they declare, are needed
to bring the oil out of Mexico, for that
country in their opinion can supply the
oil needs of all Europe and good part
of this country indefinitely. To bring
this oil out of Mexico by rail is prohi-
bitive they say. Ships are the only
salvation, and there are not enough
ships to supply the European demand
alone.
There is scarcity of supply, but no
potential shortage, these oil men con-
tend And they believe that if con-
gress opened to development, Califor-
MAS oil reserve. which has shr unk
from over 60.000,00 barrels to ap-
proximately s0,000,0 900 in three years,
will be entirely wiped out in few
more years, and there will be general
industrial paralysis despite the fact
that the conditions of thousands of
acres of proven but undeveloped oil
lands will still obtain.

PIONEER WOMAN
CALLED BY DEATH

Mrs. Elizabeth Stamper, widow of
the late j. w. Stamper, died last even
ing at the home of her son, Tobe Bush,
in this city, at the age of 81. She had
been in i'll health for a number of years,
the immediate cause of her death being
due to paralysis.
Mrs. Stamper was one of the few re-
naming pioneers who came to Umatil-
la county in the early '70's. She cross
ed the plains to the Willamett Valley
in 1852 and came to this county Al
years ago.
Mr.. Stamper was her second hus-
band, and together they lived on farm
north of Athena for many years. After
her husbands death, she removed to
farm on Birch Creek south of Pendle-
ton, and lived there until last fall,
when she came to Athena to re,ids
with her son.
She leaves three sons. Mitt, Willis
and Tobe Bush, and two daughters,
Mrs. B. F. Swaggart and Mrs. James
Stamper. The funeral will be held
tom prov afternoon at 2 o'clock. SER
vices being conducted at the Methodist
Episcopal church.

Plan Is To Reduce
The Rates On Salt

OF particular interest to eastern Ore
gon stockman and to Portland jobbers
is the notice received by the Oregon
Public service commission that the 0.
W. R. g. N. company is preparing to
reduce its interstate freight rates on
salt. They will be put on class d
basis, which is approximately 5 per
cent lower than present rates. The
new schedule will become effective
August 10.
These lower rates it is said, will en-
able Portland -jobbers to supply salt to
eastern Oregon stockmen, who use
many car loads year. In the past
Salt Lake has been the distributive
point.
The company is reducing its inter-
state rates without waiting for the
public service commission to complete
the investigation which it had started
on its own motive.
The interstate commerce commission
recently held that the interstate rates
on salt were too high and ordered re-
duction.

men MUST find
OWN KEY NUMBER
Uncle Sans got your number.

Uncle Sans got your number.
1t behooves all men who registered
on War Census day to find out their
number, too. This does not mean their
registration certificate number but the
"red ink" serial number.
To find out their number the East
Oregonian advises that Umatilla
county men should apply to Clerk
Brown who has complete list. This
list may be posted later in the week.
The government will hold its big
lottery within few days and as the
numbers are drawn from the big glass
bowl they will be flashed to the various
adjutant generals who in turn will
flash them to the county exemption
boards. The numbers are serial and
each one drawn will pick man from
almost every precinct.
Registrants should particularly
watch for the drawing in Washington
then find out whether they were drawn
and the order in which they must ap-
pear. Then they should learn when
they must appear for physical examin-
alton. In case of any doubt they
should report to their local board.
With Oregon fully organized for the
draft, evory card in this state having
been filed in fire proof cabinets in the
adjutant's generals office, officials here
are only waiting the word from Wash
ington to take the next step-the ac'
tual Craft Of Oregon's quota.

WILL GUARD COUNTY
AGAINST GRAIN FIRES

X The East Oregonian says, fifty de.
putty fire wardens armed with full au-
thority to protect property from in
cendiary fires and working under a
leader whose identity is secret are to
aid the local officers in campaign to
prevent any damages to grain or other
property during the summer.
The arrangements for the special de-
puties were made at Pendleton by Fire
Marshal Harvey X. Wells and Chief
Fire Warden Jay Stephens. The men
came up from Salem for the purpose
of investigating the situation and they
have been in consultation with local
officials and prominent farmers
1t is known that while there are
some suspicious characters in the
county they are not numerous and
some of those have departed because
of preparations made for defence
against possible lawlessness. Among
those inclined to make trouble there
is a fear. that Umailla county farmers
are not going to be soft or lenient to-
ward anyone caught in wrong doing
Accordingly some Of them are prepar
ing to give the county wide berth.

NATIONAL GUARD TO.
Be DRAFT TED AUG. 5

The last step necessary to make the
entire National Guard available for
duty in France was taken by President
Wilson Monday with the state troops
into the Army of the United States
on August 8.
To make certain that the purpose 6
the National defense act is carried out,
the proclamation also specifically de-
clares the men drafted to be discharged
from the old militia status on that
date.
In that way the constitutional re-
straint upon use of militia outside the
country is avoided and the way paved
for sending the regiments to the Euro
pean front.
Prior to the application of the draft,
regiments in the Northern and Eastern
section of the country are called into
the Federal services as National
Guardsmen in two increments to be
mobilized on July Is and 20.
Many units already are Federalized
and presumably they will be mobilIzed
with the other troops from their
states. The guard from the other
states will be mobilized on the day of
the draft. The arrangement was me-
cessary to provide for movement of the
regiments to their concentration CAMPS
without congestion.
The operation of the draft law was
delayed until August so that all reg
iments can be taken into the army
simultaneously. Fourteen camp sites
| for the IN tactical divisions into which
the guard will be organized have been
selected already and the militia ,burea6
is preparing the railway routing Of the
troops to the camps.
Seven of the sites selected are in the
Southeastern department, five in the
Southern and two in the Western. The
two others will be in the Southeastern
department and until they are approx
ed assignments Of regiments to camps
and divisions cannot be fully worked
out. The only divisions positively as.
signed are the Nineteenth, including
the California guard, which will 60 to
Linda Vista, CAL. and the Twentieth,
including Oregon, Washington and
other states in the Northwest, which
will go to Palo Alto, Cal.

Lodges Win Guard Grain

A Walla Walla Special says that
numerous |. w. w. have reached Walla
Walla and some farmers fear they are
there to cause trouble in the harvest
this fall. Several farmers. according
to street reports, have received aDnony.
nous letters threatening their wheat
fields. The Woodman Of the World
drill corps, 100 men, will be armed and
the Elks have more than 100 men who
drill weekly. Several farmers are
forearming against trouble by putting
up comfortable bunk houses and bath
ing facilities on their farms. Wages
are expected to be high this year.

Bond Fight Cost $6l86

The sum of $3.50 was expended in
behalf of the $6,OO0,O road bond
measure in the campaign proceeding
the special state election last month.
This is shown by the report which has
been compiled by E. D. Cusick, of
Albany, treasurer Of the committee
composed of members of the Legisla-
ture which handled the campaign and
which has been forwarded TO Secretary
of State Olcott. Of the amount ex-
pended $4,000 was raised in Portland
and contributed by the Oregon Good
Roads campaign committee of that
city. The balance was collected in
donations by individuals, auto clubs
and commercial clubs in various Sec
tions Of the state.

Mutiny Is Checked

Two hundred and fifty men employed
in extending the Northern Pacific
tracks into the Army cantonment at
American Lake mutined yesterday and
simply trailed off. The mutiny is at
tributed to |. w. w. influences.
Major David L. Stone, in charge Of
icantonment construction, interceded
with direct appeal to the American
ism Of the laborers, and gave assur-
ance of the maintenance of proper liv-
ing conditions in the railroad camp.
His assurances sufficed to return more
than half Of the force of S50 men to
work, after their protest against the
food given them had met with the
command of the contractors superin
tendent to "get on the train or go and
get it,"

in its yards and the number of cars
necessary for its immediate traffic.
The surplus of cars, If any, will be
assigned to roads that are short.

Army Horses In Demand

A Lewiston special says that horse
men of that district are much interest
ed in the announcement made by the
United States Government that it
would buy large numbers of horses for
army purposes. The horse breeders
there believe that the heaviest de-
mand will be for draft horses, or gun
ners, as they are called. The United
States specifications allow for three
grades which together take weights
from 100 to 1900 pounds and heights
from Is 1-2 to II hands. The horses
must also be geldings of dark colors.
Dark grays, however, will be accepted.

100 of legal sufiiciency to invoke re-
