The action Of the federal shipping
board in not permitting the shipbuild-
ing interests Of the country to contract
with foreign governments for the build
ing Of ships came in for an adverse
vote yesterday in the house. A memor.
ial was passed asking Oregon members
Of congress to take sction regarding the
shipping board Is decision not to permit
the builders Of wooden ships to either
use ships for the carrying Of merchan-
disc to foreign ports or to allow the
shipping interests to even contract with
foreign interests. 1t is felt that with
the government cancelling is orders for
wooden ships and at the same time pre-
venting the shipyards from accepting
contracts, that the Oregon builders are
not getting fair deal.

That there is sugar boarding in the

by the statement of the sugar equal

by Senator Harris, in which it is set
forth that four hundred tons Of sugar
have been delivered in this country in
excess of the amount delivered last

Savannah Refinery, which has been
reported as suffering a shortage, has
not only received its full allotment,

that amount in raw sugar.

WILL PAVE LINCOLN
AVENUE, FIRST TO EIGHTH
Council Approved Petitions and
the Contract Will Be
Let Soon.

Lincoln avenue from First to
Eighth will be paved right away.
At the meeting of the city council
Wednesday evening the petition was
read, found legal and approved.
The contract will be let and the
work will proceed.
The Stanton Construction Com
'pany will likely get the contract as
they already have the machinery
here they can make better bid
than others who would have the
expense of shipping in equipment.
The Kansas avenue paving is
about to slide. The taking care of
Can creek is the big stumbling
block. The council and some of the
property owners cannot get to-
gether and it seems that this street
cannot be paved at this time.
We were in hopes this paving
would go in at once, and it may be
that some agreement can be reached
in time to contract for the work
while the paving machinery is in
town.

While the play is being presented
at Kansas City Mr.. Hobble expects
to make visit to Dodge City He

that time.
"Daddies" opened in New York
September 5, 1918, and in London
September 3, 1919. 1t has also been
presented in Australia, and every
where has been regarded as a re-
markable success.
The London Express printed the
following report of the play as it
was produced at the Haymarket
CheaCre Cnere;
"A sweet child actress, Madeline
Robinson, stepped up to the foot
lights after the first production of
'Daddies' at the Haymarket theatre
last night. She held in her arms a
comical duck on wheels called
Quackle Doodle, and cuddling it
tightly she addressed the audience
at the top of her voice: Ladies and
gentlemen, the author is not in the
house

man appeal of this nursery comedy
