Floatinu at Depth.

The belief seems to be widely held
that at a certain depth an iron ship or
an iron ball will remain suspended,
floating about and never reaching the
bottom These inquirers evidently
confuse weight and pressure. A body
sinks in a fluid when it weighs more
than the fluid which it displaces,
which evidently has the same volume
as the body For this reason any
heavy body will go to the bottom in
water, since water is nearly incom-
pressible. An engineer of high repute
took exception to this statement, as
sorting that at a depth of 1871 miles
water would be as dense as cast iron,
and, therefore, cast iron would float
at that depth. The Scientific Ameri-
can exposes the fallacy of this argu-
ment and publishes a letter contain
ing calculations of the specific gray
ity of water at depths up to SO miles.
These prove that if there be water at
any such depths it is frozen solid in
the dense form of ice, frozen by the
pressure of the waite rabove it, since
the freezing point of water is lowered
by pressure.

THOSE SOUTHERN WAR CLAIMS
New York SUM


Senator Gallinger, objecting to con-
sideration of a bill by Senator Smith
of Georgia to reopen the treasury to
southern civil war claims said that
Uncle Sam is spending 1927 every
second of twenty four hours for pres
ent war purposes and has spent ST.
000,000,000 in the ten months we have
been at war for that purpose alone.
Senator Simmons of North Carolina
chided the New Hampshire economist
by reminding him that something like
one-half of that was loaned to our al
lies" Senator Gallinger had two re-
sponses: Much of that half was loan
ed to Russia; the government has al
ready paid one southern state for more
mules alleged to have been taken by
one northern army than all northern
armies used in all four years of the
civil war. Why pay for more mules?
The astounding irrelevancy of the
question left proponents of the claims
speechless, while a quick vote was
taken and the motion to consider was
defeated.

LUCKY SWEOE COMPANY
CUT VEIN At 1900 FEET
HAS RUN HALF DiSTANcE-FoR.
MER MANAGER NOW IN
THE TRENCHES.

Morris Pearson, president and man.
ager of the Lucky Swede Gold & Cop
per Mining company, was in the city
the first of the week completing ar
rangements for supplies for the prop
erty, which is located on the st. Joe,
about two miles from the Milwaukee
railorad, at a point called Boyle spur
Trains stop here for the delivery OF
freight only. The passenger station
and postoffice is Falcon, five miles from
the Lucky .Swede. Mr.. Pearson says
the company now has on hand sup
plies of all kinds to last at least fouI
months. A crosseut is being driven
which is expected to reach the vein in
1900 feet and attain an equal depth.
Half the distance has been run. The
rock is reported very hard. While here
Mr.. Pearson engaged two more men to
work on the property, making the total
force now employed six men, working
two shifts. The high water about the
last of the year carried out II bridges
on the wagon road connecting the
Lucky Swede with the railroad. Re-
building these was big job which was
recently completed.
Former Manager in the Trenches.
Harry Pearson, brother of Morris
and former manager of the Lucky
Swede company, was in the first draft
ed group which left here for Camp
Lewis last October He is fine ply
steal specimen, standing over 6 feet,
and is correspondingly well equipped
with gray matter. Confident that the
Lucky Swede is the making of a mine,
Harry Pearson had devoted all his en-
ergy to developing the property and
naturally it was with regret that he
severed his connection with the man
agement. But he did so with q COM
mendable loyal spirit and stated that
he would fight for Uncle Sam just as
hard as he had worked for the Lucky
physique and soldierly bearing were
recognized by his assignment to an
older organization composed of men
six feet high and over, and in com
pany with this fighting bunch he land
e. in France last December and is now
tually in the trenches. He has for
gotten the Lucky Swede until the
kaiser is canned, and those who know
him predict that his service will earn
recognition.

The east drift on the 500 is now

CRITICISM OF
FOOD CONTROL
IS ANSWERED
Hoover Declares High Pri-
ces Are Due to Increased
Gold Circulation.
CHANGING PRODUCERS
TO CONSUMERS ALSO
Sugar Shortage Cited to
Create Alarm and Cause
Conservation.

WASHINGTON, jim. 2.-Hoover
answered the criticisms of the food
administration today in testifying be-
fore the senate probers. He attrib-
uted the high food prices to increased
per capita gold circulation and the
suden conversion of thousands OF
men from producers to consumers
only. Regarding his statement that
there would be a sugar shortage last
October, Hoover said he stated this
at an executive session of the senate
committee and did not know 1t
would be published.
Hoover said he sought to create an
imaginative alarm regarding the
whole food situation SO the people
would conserve all foods that he
thought it proper to tell that a SUI
gar shortage was coming for the al
lies unless America saved, but con-
sidered it improper for the committee
to give out confidential testimony re-
garding the Cuban shortage given at
an executive hearing. He said this
created an alarm and rised prices.

TAX LEVY FOR
YEAR FIXED
AT.7 1-2 MILLS

The county court concluded it's De-
cember term Of court by fixing the
tax levy for the coming year at IL
mills the same as last year. To do
this, however, the court was obliged
to lop off about $4,000 from the
amount proposed for roads and bridg-
es in the budget. The six per cent
limitation law operated to prevent
raising the sum proposed without in
creasing the tax levy.
The total afaount of money to be
raised this sear is $426,77S.7O of
which $3.50. .20S.7O is for state purpos-
es and $296.51O for county purposes.
Il was originally proposed to raise
$4,000 for roads and bridges but
the court reduced this amount to
$93 900 in order to come within the
limit fixed by law. However, there
will probably be $4,000 left in the
road fund from last year.

Expressions of thanks to Umatilla

Christmas Red Cross Membership
Drive, Pendleton, oregon.
Dear Mr.. Bishop:
Yonr campaign workers braved the
weather and went from house to
house and farm to farm. canvassinG
for Red Cross memberships. There
was no hardship they were not Will
ing to undergo. The distressing
shortage of buttons and other sup
Hes embarrassed them but they
wen ahead with lofty courage. They
were animated by love of country,
cffeciicn for cur soldier boys and
desire TO be % actual service in re-
lieving the suffering caused by fright
full war. also they were determined
Umatilla county should do it's full
share in the enrolment Of members
in response to the appeal of President
Wilson asking every man and woman
to join the Red Cross.
The results in Umatllla county
speak roI themselves. To your he
rcic workers belongs the credit. 1t
was individual work like this all over
our state that won again for oregon
the PROUD distinction of being ann
ong the foremost states of our union
in patriotic achievement.
No mere letter of thanks can con
vey t. your workers anything like the
credit that is their due. Their devo-
tion den. arstrates that they were not
striving for personal credit. Their
rich reward is in the consciousness
uf sacrifice made and duty done, but
in behalf of the northwestern divi-
sion campaign committee will you
kindly convey to each and all OF
Hneui, through any channel that may

cation felt at division and state head
quarters for their devoted service.
