Raisin Shortage Hits
 City: Whats the Reason

Wholesale and retail grocers in this vicinity report a shortage of raisins, the first of it's kind that has struck these parts in many years. It may be said that prohibition has something to do with this condition, as amateur drink manufacturers, it is sad, use considerable rasins in the preparation of a beverage with more kick to it than is permitted under the 18th amendment, To substantiate this, it is also said that there is fast coming a shortage of rye, which would indicate that in some places the great thirst will not be felt as much as in others this summer.

BILLION EXPENDED
 FOR WAR AVIATION Magee Says Not One American
 Plane Was Produced LIBERTY MOTOR ONLY ASSET
House Has Four Hour Discussion in Which Airplane Lumber Production in West Also Is Strongly Criticized by Representative.

Washington, March 6.-F1atly op- posed views of America's aviation ac- complish h m entS during the war were expressed today in the house during a four hour session devoted entirely to discussion of the divergent reports arising from prolonged investigation of aviation matters by a special war expenditures committee. The com- mittee, dividing on political lines, agreed upon only one thing-that the United States spent more than one billion dollars upon the wartime aviation program.
 Representative Magee, republican. of New York a member of the com mittee which investigated aviation eX- penditures during the war, told tho house that not one American battle plane or purely bonn ping plane produced during the war from the expenditure of more than a billion dollars for aircraft.
 Liberty Motor All Right.
 The Liberty motor" he said, twas the only achievement of merit of the Am merican Air Service in the United States
 The 23 American built de Haviland planes sent to France, he said. might be used for light bombing" He said these planes were awkward and dan gerous'' in service.
 Criticism of the airplane lumber production in the Pacific northwest was made by MT. Magee, who argued that if experienced lum bermen of that locality had been organized, all the lumber needed would have been produced at moderate cost.'
 Men Were Inexperienced.
 Those placed in authority in the northwest by the War department he said, mot only had no experience in the lumber business, but they were arrogant, autocratic, and operated wholly regardless of law and auth ority. Those that had power co do so ordered the construction of rail- roads in Oregon through cost-plus contractors at large governmental expense and not in the public interest,"
 Employment Attacked.
 The employment of 5000 soldiers including officers in the lumber oper- ations was also attacked by MT. Ma gee who asserted the payment to them of wages of $3 to $S a day was ''in defiant violation of law John D. Ryan director of aircraft produc- ton, he said "heartily approved of these payments"
 Those who are responsible for this unlawful expenditure he added, ''should be held strictly accountable therefore. The Stems Carey kerbagh Corp. was actually paid by the war departm ent q seven per cent. comtniS- sion on civilian wages paid to soldiers working for sub-contractors in the construction of Lake Crescent rail- road in excess of the compensation fixed by congress-"
 Rep. Lea Replies.
 Representative Lea, democrat Cal, told the house that criticisms made by republican committeeman were "absurd contentious and groundless conclusions" Answering Represen- tativa Magee. he declared the repub- lican members statement of planes sent to the front was but d fraction of the truth.
