Local Taxes Drop
FIRST REDUCTION IN COUNTY
AND TOWNSHIP LEVIES FOL-
LOWS ADOPTION FO PLAN.
COCK PLAN.

Reductions of more than $1,5OO,0OO
in road tax levies by counties and
townships in Minnesota followed the
first year after adoption of the Bah
cock plan for state improvement and
upkeep of 1000 miles of main roads
which always had taken a large part
of local road and bridge funds, accord
ing to the state highway department
bulletin today.
Official figures from the state au-
ditor's abstract show that last year
for the first time in state annals the
county road and bridge levies dropped
to $10,022,48S from S10,843,682 and
those of the townships to $6,139,6
from S6,862, 560-a total decrease of
$1,543,000. The current funds for
local roads and bridges are $19,811,271,
however, and the heavy traffic roads,
always the most costly to build and
maintain, are taken over by the state.
Current revenues in the trunk high
way fund this year probably will ap-
proximate S7,500,000, the bulletin con-
tinues. This is about 100000 more
than last year but still far below the
$10,000,000 annual average expected,
and due in part to SO per cent cut in
federal aid which cost the trunk fund
nearly S3,000,000 this year and last.
Motor vehicle tax revenues for 1922
have passed the $6,000,000 mark, COM
pared with the 1921 total of $685. 900.

| 1t is not to be understood that an
education in itself constitutes success !;
but it lays the foundation for success.
An education gives the individual
knowledge. And this knowledge when
. used is power. One of the very great
est values of an education is that it
teaches the individual to think-and
to think straight. There are all too
many people who do not think indie
pendently at all, but let other people
! think for them. Or in their thinking,
they do not think a proposition
straight thru to it's logical conclusion
but stop at some halfway point. AS
a result they are much more frequent
ly wrong in their conclusions than are
those who have the advantage of a
trained mind. Right here lays the
chief reason for the great difference
Of income between an eighth grade
graduate and high school graduate
The high school graduate can think
better. AS better thinker, he has a
better understanding of the true valu-
es in life. 1t makes possible the living
Of broader, richer and fuller life. The
educated person understands more
thoroly his true relation to himself, to
his community and to his government.
By acquainting him with the best thot
of all ages, education broadens his
understanding of and sympathy with
the problems of his own time. With
training comes the realization that
one can not live unto himself alone,
that true happiness comes not simply |
in accommodating dollars and cents, but |
also in rendering service to ones COM
munity. If there is on thing that
equips a man for a more useful life,
it is an education. Accordingly, it is
the duty of every intelligent person
to get all the education possible. 1t
is the supreme duty of every parent
to see that his children get all the
education he can possibly give them.

INDIAN FIGHTER RETURNS
TO OLD BATTLE SCENES

Remembrances of the Indian wars
Of 1877 and 1882 were recounted at
Walla Walla Friday by Major John
Stafford, U. S. A.. retired, after he
had walked over the old parade
grounds at the U. S.. Veterans hos
pital, into which Fort Walla Walla,
where he served as private and Of
ficer, has been converted. Major
Stafford served at Fort Walla Walla
when it was located in the center of
the business district on the banks Of
Mill creek.
He had just completed visit, in
company with his son, G. e. Stafford
now on furlough from Camp Lewis
to Hangman creek, near Spokane
where he parleyed with the Indians
under the leadership of Chief Spo-
kane Jerry for section of land, now
the site of the city of Spokane. He
also visited the battlefields of the
Nez Perce war in 1877, near Lewiston,
and in Umatilla county, where he
fought the Bannocks and Piutes un-
der the leadership Of Chief Egan, in
1878. He also visited point on
Birch creek, where he and his COM
rades put to flight a party of Ban
nocks in the act of looting farm hous-
es and a grocery. He captured 1000
of the Indians ponies, he said, as a
result Of that engagement.
Following the Indian wars, Major
Stafford helped with the survey OF
government lands in this section and
later served in the Spanish-American
war, both in the Philippines and in
Cuba.

The moonshine drinkers dreams has
been realized by George Ruples of La
Grande. He has discovered the drink
with the superkick. His formula is
simple and the reaction resulted in a

ficient officers to his home to subdue
him. Ruple filled zinc tub with
cherries, raisins, lemons and fruit
juices of various kinds. The mass be-
van to ferment but other action also
began to take place. The acid from
the fruits started chemical action

Will Interview
Disabled Veterans

For the purpose Of interviewing all
disabled World War Veterans Of this
section relative to government COM
pensation, vocational training, hos
pitalization and war risk insurance,
L. H. Wood special contact repre-
sentative of the United States Vet
erans' Bureau will arrive in Pendle-
ton Aug. 20, 1922, for a period Of z
days, according to an announcement
received here today. a
Because of the limited period the
government agent has to cover east
ern Oregon, he will be unablesto visit
every small community. An. effort
is being made, however, to have MIR.
Wood reach points of comparatively
short distance from every way vet
eran who may have a grievance
against the government.
"The most important thing for the
war veteran to remember at this time
is that no claim for government COM
pensation may be filed with the Vet
erans' Bureau after five years from
discharge with one exception" said
Mr.. Wood in an advance communica-
tion. 'In many instances this period
will be over during the coming win
ter. The only veterans protected af-
ter the fiye-year period in case. of
aggravated disability are those who
secured certificates of injury from the
Veterans Bureau before August 8.
The Veteran who feels that he has
q war disability which may become
compensate at a later date should
file his claim now. / will have pro-
per forms for claim filing and assist
the veteran in the procedure during
my stay at Red Cross office, Pendle-
ton, Oregon"
Mr.. Wood stated that all former
service people who can prove that
they are disabled 10 per cent or more
because Of war service are entitled
to federal compensation and that
those who are unable to carry on their
pre-war occupations because of war
injuries are entitled to vocational
training at the expense Of the gov
ernment.

CAR GOES OVER BLUFF

A new Franklin car owned by q
Walla Walla motor concern and
driven to Toll Gate Sunday by a
party of recreators from that city,
dived over the bluff at McIntyre's
point, and landing in clump of trees
clinging to the mountain side was
smashed into complete wreck after
a sheer drop of more than one hun
dred feet. The car was one of 9TH
ers driven to McIntyre's point SUM-
day evening and occupied by people
who, after attending the road meet
ing, wished to view the beautiful
scenery from this place of vantage.
Parked on the slightly sloping hill
side at the top of the canyon, it got
away in some inexplicable manner,
as the brakes had been set, and rolled
rapidly to the edge of the bluff for
its destructive plunge, just as the
members of the party whom it car
ried were getting ready to enter it
for the homeward drive.

MAN is KILLED WHEN
COMBINE TURNS OVER

E. H. Riggs, No. 2178 North Third
street, Salem, Ore, about As years
old, was killed and Howard Riggles
of Prescott, Wash, was badly bruised
and shaken up when the combine
thresher on which they were working
on the Frank Benson ranch, IL miles
west Of Prescott, turned turtle on a
side hill. The machine was wrecked.
Riggs, the separator man of the
outfit, suffered crushed chest. He
lived about five minutes, dying from
internal injuries. The cause Of the
accident was attributed to the fact
that the leveling device Of the ma
chine could not function on the steep
hill. Riggs leaves his wife and child

MYSTERY Wells THE
MURDER OF A MAN
ON STATE HIGHWAY

A man with his neck broken and
abrasions on the head, was found in
the bushes on the highway ten miles
west of Pendleton, Wednesday morn
ing. The only means of Identification
was woman's handkerchief picked
up near the body by officers bearing
the laundry mark, 1892" The label
on the inside of the strangers blue
serge suit was marked San Diego. He
was evidently in the early thirties,
was about five feet nine inches tall,
had dark hair and was slightly bald
above the row. His front upper
teeth contained bridgework, and his
eyes were light grey. He wore blue
socks, tan shoes and grey flannel
shirt.
That he was murdered and thrown
or dragged into the bushes along the
river bank is the theory of officers
for his pockets were turned out and
absolutely nothing left in them, that
would lead to Identification.
The theory of the case held by some
of the officials is that the man had
just come in off of some ranch and
had considerable money in his pock-
cts, and that someone, knowing this.
either drugged him and broke his neck
in throwing his body down the pre-
cipice, or killed him at some other
place and tried to hide the body at
the bend of the river.
From appearances the officers be-
lieve the man had been dead about
36 hours before the body was dis
covered by couple of men on the
highway.
