Faced by the fact that the stat,
highway department has already en-
tered into contracts for post road.
and forest projects in cooperation
with the federal government aggre-
eating approximately eight million
dollars and the fact that the credit
OF the state is at stake. the board OF
control this morning assured MEM
bers OF the highway commission that
it stood ready to abide by the conse-
quences and dispose Of the S2,50O, 600
in Bean Barrett bonds as needed 10
the best advantage of the state. the
condition Of the bond market at the
time of sale considered.
Today's conference between the
board Of control and highway COM
mission followed a statement by Gov
ernor Olcott and State Treasurer Hoff
last Monday TO the effect that no
further issues of Bean sBarrett bonds
would be approved until the bond
market had recovered from its pres
ent demoralized condition. the high
est bid for 81 .000.0 900 issue of high
way bonds a few weeks ago having
been only s1.53.
THE issue of these bonds Is abb
solutely imperative" declared S. Ben
son. chairman of the state highway
commission this morning. These con
tracts were let a year ago at a time
when the law made II mandatory
on the state board of control TO sell
Bean Barrett bonds upo nthe de-
mand of the highway commission.
Since that time the state legislature
has made the sale of these bonds dis
cretionary with the board Of control.
But that does not alter the fact that
the state highway commission has en-
tered into these obligations which
must be met. The credit of the state
is at stake. Unless these bonds are
sold every contractor engaged in the
construction Of post roads and forest
projects in this state will go broke
because Of the inability of the high
way department to meet its obliga-
tions All highway work would stop
at once and the states good roads
program would be brought to an
abrupt and most embarrassing end"
The state highway commission was
not inclined to let many new road
contracts this year, Benson explained,
but would be content with completing
contracts let last year The foresight
OF the commission in pushing con-
tracts a year ago, Benson claimed,
had saved to the state between mil
Non and s1,250,000 because of the
increase in prices of materials and
wages since the contracts were let.
Other states, h epointed out, which
had held off in the hopes of break
in the market were now suffering the
consequences In that they are now
contracting for roads under greatly
advanced prices.
Both Governor Olcott md State
Treasurer Hoff expressed themselves
as opposed to the sale OF additional
bond issues under present market con
uiitions but admitted that the sltua-
sion left the mlittle choice in the
matter inasmuch as the contracts
had been entered into year ago, as
Governor Olcott expressed It. "before
,ahe legislature passed the buck to the
board OF control" and the bills must
Zoe paid.
E E. Kiddle of La Grande, com-
missioner from the eastern oregon
district also attended the conference

Bombay, May 6.-Mashuds, tribes
men of the Abysinnian border, who
during the frontier campaign, repeat
edly desecrated graves in which the
British soldiers were buried have just
been taught a severe lesson that will
make them very chary Of meddling

A trap was set for them. A grave

pear that it contained the corpse of a
British officer 1t contained something
much more deadlier in the shape of
guncotton and other explosives.
Six Mashuds started to open the
supposed grave. Five of them were
blown to pieces. The sixth had Jus,
