instead of full basement as was at

that there will be only such basement
space as will be absolutely nee Jed.

Hotel Association, went to Portland
this week to arrange further for the
work and to look after certain finan-
cial details that will be necessary be-

CALIFORNIA PROFITS BY VOTE OF ITS
WOMEN, WHO HAVE HAD SUFFRAGE 8 YRS
Governor Of State Emphatic in Civ
ing Credit for Advanced So
cial Conditions.

In recent statement made by
William D. Stephens, Californias Re.
publican Governor, concerning the
ratification of the Federal Suffrage
amendment, he says:
:The women of the United States
by their unselfsh and effective wal
work and by their untold and heart
breaking sacrifices have won the
right and opportunity to vote upon
all Governmental questions that SO
vitality affect them.
"For the past eight years Califor-
mia has had women suffrage and has
profited thereby in every way. Health
conditions, school conditions and po-
litical conditions are all vastly i'm
proved, because the women Of Cali
fornia have had the ballot
California had four women mem
bers Of the Legislature in its recent
session. They were credit to any
legislative body and amply justified
women's participation in law max
ing. If woman suffrage was again to
be voted upon in California it would
carry by an overwhelming majority.
In my judgment California's Legis-
lature will unanimously ratify the
National suffrage amendment"

Rattlesnakes Are Thriving In
Hot Weather-Some Killed

The nice hot weather we are hav-
ing at the present time seems to be
just the proper kind to bring out the
rattlesnakes and a greater number OF
these poisonous reptiles have been In
evidence around here than for sew
eral years past. DR.. Bean and Cal
Sweek saw snakes one night last
week, or rather snake. 1t wasn't very
large but Of sufficient size as to call
forth a club in the hands of Mr..
Sweek, and the attorney quickly put
the rattler on his long last sleep. The
snake was in the Sweek berry patch.
George Milholland of the Standard
OIL Company is an inveterate lover of
snakes and the larger they are the
better they suit the Zerolene man.
He caught live one out at Matt
Shaw's ranch Tuesday and to have
seen George charm that snake would
have been pleasure to anyone. Not
having any Zerolene or Mica Axle
Grease to rub on Mr.. Snakes head,
the doughty John D. man took a
stick and firmly held it against the
reptiles back and then grabbed the
unsuspecting rattler just back of the
head. He brought the snake to town

| FALLS FROM WINDMILL
Fred Lucas Is Plunged 80 Feet to
Ground.--Lands on His Feet and
Ankle Is Broken, But No In
ternal Injuries Received.

While showing one of his hired
men how to turn on the windmill at
his farm FIVE miles southwest Of
Heppner on Heppner Flat Wednes-
day noon, Fred LUCAS lost his footing
and fell from the top Of the mill to
the ground, distance of 80 feet.
Mr.. Lucas made an attempt to
catch hold of slat on ladder and as
this gave way, he was turned COM
pletely over in mid air and landed on
his feet when he struck the ground.
The impact broke one bone in his an
's.e. bat according 10 his physician,
DR.. Harold Bean, who was called at
once to the Lucas ranch, Mr.. Lucas
received no internal injuries.
AS unfortunate as was the fall, Mr..
Lucas considers that the landing was
more fortunate, inasmuch as there
were number Of implements and
pieces of iron laying around, and he
missed all of this when striking,
landing on the bare ground.

many farmers advertise in their local

the answers follow:

Weights And Measures
Hampered The Allies
Major LaGuardia of Air Service
Throws New Light on War.

San Francisco, July 23.-Con-
gresham Fiorello LaGuardia Of New
York, former major In the Air Ser
vice in charge of fliers on the Italian
front, has thrown interesting light
upon the difficulties faced by the Uni
ted States in cooperating with its
allies in the world war. Major La
Guardia has telegraphed the World
Trade Club Of San Francisco, an or
ganization representing 500 leading
manufacturing merchants, pledging
his support to the campaign that the
organization is now waging for the
world wide adoption of the metric
system Of weights and measures, now
being used by all the world except the
United States and Britannia.
In his wire Major LaGuardia
points out that the world war showed
the imperative need of standardiza-
tion of weights and measurer. He
advocates the metric system.
II still have unpleasant memories
of the difficulty we experienced dur
ing the war;" he writes, "of the loss
of time, the confusion owing to diff
ferent systems of weights and meas
ures uesd by various allies. We lost
more time in translating specifica-
tons and more errors were caused
on this account than by anything
else"
The World Trade Club is receiv-
ing similar testimony from great
many persons who had experience
with the difficulty caused by our pres
ent weights during the war.

No CHANGE IN STATE
. HIGHWAY PERSONNEL
W. L. Thompson of Pendleton, Who
Recently Moved to Portland, Will
Remain With Commission
Governor Praises For Ef-
ficiency Shown.

Contrary to much newspaper spec
ulation and the limiting of various
names for successors, there will be no
change in the personnel of the state
highway commission, 80 far as Gov
ernor Olcott's information goes, says
reports from Portland. Ever since
| Commissioner w. L. Thompson, Of
this city, announced his affiliation
with Portland bank, there has been
much speculation as to a successor
for him on the commission, and al
most every eligible man In Eastern
Oregon has been limited at or suggest
ed for the place.
However, Mr.. Thompson put the
question Of his status up to the gov
ernor Immediately after he decided
on his business plans, which will in
volve change of residence to Port
land this fall. The governor appealed
to Attorney General Brown for a le-
| gal opinion on the case, and the lat
tier announced that Mr.. Thompson's
status depended entirely upon his
declaration of residence.
Governor Olcott transmitted this
opinion to Thompson, with the ex-
pressed hope that Mr.. Thompson
would find it possible to remain on
the commission at least until present
highway contracts were successfully
disposed Of.
In statement given out in Port
land few day later, the latter de-
clared that, although he would move
to Portland on or about September
/, he would retain his legal residence
in Pendleton until the first of the
year and expected to devote as much
time to highway work in the future
as he had in the past. This arrange
ment would permit him to carry out
the expressed wish of the governor
that he retain his position on the
commission.
Commissioner R. A. Booth of Eu-
gene has also-on the occasion of his
visit to Salem the first of the week
assured Governor Olcott that he could
be counted on to remain with the
commission, for the time being at
least, thus setting rest speculation
on that score.
with the tremendous amount Of
road work under way and yet to be
contracted for this year I feel that
the interests of the state can best be
served by these men, who are so well
qualified by actual experience in the
work." said Governor Olcott. "In
view of the millions of dollars of pub
lie money which are to be spent in
road work I feel that the state is to
be congratulated on the decision Of
these men to remain on the commis-
sion, at least until this big program
has been finally disposed Of"

International Livestock Exposition to
discourse on problems effecting that
industry.
Another speaker of prominence
will be Professor Guy R. Hyslop,
agronomist from the Oregon Agri-
cultural College. Professor Hyslop

AIDED BY VOCATIONAL TRAINING
Young Belgian, Injured in Service, Be-
comes Gardener.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13-A young
Belgian, formerly a waiter in New
York hotel, lost his left arm due to
an injury received while in the service
at the Panama Canal. Returning to
this country he had the greater mis-
fortune of losing his young wife in the
epidemic of influenza.
In a state of deep depression and
destitute of funds and friends he was
found by agents of the Federal Board
for Vocational Education, who played
the part of brother to him. Because
of an admitted fondness for flowers
and gardening, the government agent
saw future for him. He took the
Young soldier to the agricultural
school at Farmindale, L. l., where the
kindness of those in charge, and the
possibilities for profitable employment
after the course of training, decided
him to stay at the school and take the
studies necessary to fit him for SUI
perintendency of a country place.
This young Belgian, appreciative OIL
the benefits he is receiving, has taken
