WAS PIONEER PHYSICIAN

E. 0.-Pioneers of Umatilla county
remember DR.. ]. M. Pruitt, whose
death occurred recently in Oakland,
Cal, as one of the few physicians in
this part of the country during the
days of 1875. He settled here before
the days of the railroad and made
long horseback trips to the bedsides
of the sick, sometimes riding as far
as go miles to see patient. His par
ents were pioneers who crossed the
plains by oxteam in 1847 and who
settled in Salem. DR., Pruitt, after be-
ing graduated from Ohio Medical Col
lege, was married to Miss Precious
Buckingham, of Corvallis. After 2S
years of practice here, DR.. Pruitt
was forced by ill health to give up
his work and moved to Oakland. He
was 73 at the time of his death. He
is survived by his widow and by three
sons, ], Ralph Pruitt of Bulwinkle,
Cal, DR.. w. Clifford Pruitt, Of Oak
land, CAL, and George B. Pruitt of
Bakersfield, CAL, all of whom were
|at the bedside when the end came.
NHe is also survived by one sister,
Mrs. J. H. Raley Of Pendleton. The
late Mrs. Martha Whitman, mother
of H. P. Whitman, was also sister.

BRITISH PAY ONLY
THEIR own DEBT
No Other Nations Liability to
United States Guaranteed,
Mr.. Mellon Explains.

Washington, D. C.--Funding Of the
$4,135, 100000 war debt owed by Great
Britain to the United States was de-
clared by Secretary Mellon to have no
relation to the war loans made by the
United States and Great Britain to
other governments or to questions
arising in connection with reparations
payments Of the former central powers.
Reports have been published, Mr..
Mellon said. that the British liability
was not incurred for the British gov
ernment but for the other allies and
that the United States in making the
original arrangements had insisted in
substance that though the other allies
were to use the money borrowed, 1t
was only on British security that the
United States was prepared to lend it.
"The statement that the United
States government virtually insisted
upon guarantee by the British gov
ernment OF amounts advanced to the
other allies is evidently based upon a
misapprehension. Instead Of insisting
upon guarantee or any transaction of
that nature, the United States govern
ment took the position that 1t would
make advances to each government to
cover the purchases made by that gov
ernment and would not require any
government to give obligations for ad-
vances made to cover the purchases of
any other government. Thus, the ad.
vances to the British government evil
denced by Its obligations, we're made to
cover Its own purchases"

Are In Favor Of
Tourist Roads

As long as the state highway COM
mission is comvosed as at present q
policy of concentrating morey on
tourist roads will be followed and
roads Of regional Importance from an
economic standpoint will have no
chance in the opinion Of the East Ore
gonian.
This attitude on the part of two
members, Yeon and Barratt, was indi-
Gated in Portland yesterday at con-
ference on the subject Of the Pendle-
ton-John Day highway. Mr.. Booth
was absent from the state and did not
attend the meeting.
The conference was between mem
bers Of the Umatilla county court,
forestry officials and the highway
commission. District Forester Cecil
supported the road said that his rec
ommendation that federal money he
expended upon it would stand and
that he would ask for more. Judge
Schannep explained that Umatilla
county has $65,000 of bond money
available for the road and that this
with the $4,000 of federal money
promised makes total of $115,000.
However it will cost not less than
~ Z
$150,000 to build the new grade up
Camas creek from Dale to Ukiah and
state aid was asked for.
Both Commissioners Yeon and Bar
ratt opposed any such move and de-
rided the project. Mr.. Barratt's op-
position was unexpected as he had
made speech in Pendleton vigorously
supporting the road and it was pre-
sumed he would favor the project.
The Barratt contention yesterday
was that the country to the south has
gone backward and that there is moth
ing there that cannot be driven out
on foot, except people. Judge Schan-
nep asked if the country between
Bend and Klamath is any better and
it was admitted it is not yet state
aid is being given on the latter pro-
ject. =

INTEREST ON Debt
VOTED FOR BONUS

Washington, D. C.-Without a rec
ord vote the senate approved the use
of the interest on the foreign debt in
financing the soldiers bonus. Also 1t
substituted the Smith.McNary $780,
100000 reclamation bill for the land
settlement option in the house meas
ure.
The Smith-McNary reclamation
amendment was agreed to by vote
Of 43 to rs. Party lines disappeared
on the rollcall, 2a republicans and 20
democrats supporting the amendment
and 18 republicans and eight demo-
Gratis opposing it. All of the senators
from the far western states voted for
the proposal and all of those from the
New England states voted against 1t.
The Smith-McNary amendment
would provide for the reclaiming OF
arid lands in the west through irriga-
tion and swamp lands in the south
and other sections by drainage, the
work to be done under the direction
of the secretary Of the interior
through federal and state cooperation.

bonus BILL PASSES
WITH NJ NARY BILL A
RIDING AMENDMENT
(The senate passed the bonus bill
yesterday by vote of AT to 22.)

The McNary- Smith reclamation bill,
proposed as an amendment to the sol
dier bonus measure, came before the
senate this week when the parlia-
mentary situation Unexpectedly forced
Senator McNary to formally tender
1t. He had intended to reserve it un-
til Monday, as he will not deliver his
prepared speech until then.
/ A substantial majority Of the Dem
pcratic senators and Is or more Re-
publicans will vote for the McNary
amendment, which leaves the result
in doubt. 1t appears that the decision
will'be controlled by margin of a
very few votes.
Senator Ashurst (Dem.) of Arizona
led off the debate briefly outlining
the purposes Of the bill and drawing
his argument largely from the dem
onstrated results of reclamation in
Arizona and other states. He de-
clared that in importance it is sec
ond to none as constructive meas
ure for national development.
\ Democratic senators have been
brought to support McNary's amend
ment by the inclusion of swamp lands
in the reclamation scheme.
Back of all is the shadow Of pres
idential veto, which many senators
believe will meet the bonus bill, with
out regard to what may be tackled on
it, and the confident prediction that
more than one third Of the senate
will vote to sustain the veto.
The McNary amendment is offered
to take the place Of the so-called
preference rights for soldiers in the
bonus bill. These preference rights
are actually nothing more than those
granted by existing law and amount
to nothing as an aid to soldiers who
are land hungry.
Opposition comes mainly from the
East and Middle West, and is based
on two principal grounds:
That this is not an opportune time
to increase the obligations of the
government by $35O,OOO,0OO proposed
to be advanced to a national irrigation
fund, and that this will force former
soldiers who want to take advantage
of it to leave states where they now
reside and locate in the West OF
South,

Self Supporting
Prison Planned

"This institution can be made self
sustaining and if legislative assist
ance is given us we will make it So"
This statement was made by Ward
en- John W. Pace of the walla Walla
penitentiary Saturday, when he re-
viewed the accomplishments at the
prison this year and produced fig
ures to show that during this period
the inmates Of the penitentiary with
their work on the prison farm and in
the institutions industrial plant, will
have produced $4,000 of the $3.50, 900
which, in round numbers, it costs the
taxpayers Of the state to run the PEN
itentiary.
Warden PAGES books now show a
saving to the state of $4,000 from the
new automobile license plate plant,
$4,000 from the shoe factory, $4,000
from the tailor shop, and product
ion valued at $4,000 on things es-
sential to the upkeep of the institu-
tion on the prison farm.
This, he points out, has been ac-
complished with approximately 450 of
the 75o inmates of the prison idle, and
his prediction that the institution can
be made self-supporting was based on
what he could do with cotton mill
and binder twine factory established
at the penitentiary. The addition of
these two, he says will give work for
every inmate of the prison.

COX SAYS U. S. MUST
ACT TO SAVE EUROPE

London.--America must act to save
the nations of central Europe from
complete dissolution. James M. Cox de-
clared in a statement based upon his
observations on the continent. Cox
was honor guest at breakfast given
by Lloyd George at his official resi-
dence, No. 10 Downing street.
He recommended that Herbert Hoov-
er should be designated by the United

cellor Wirth of Germany to the people
Of the United States given to him dur

Asks Minimum Pay Increase
Frem, 23c to 48c an Hour.

Chicago. = Railway maintenance Of
way employees comprising approx
mately 100000 track workers and
crossing flagmen, whose threatened
strike with the shop crafts last month
was held In allegiance pending new
wage hearings, placed their demands
for increased pay before the United
States railroad labor board here Mon
day. The petition from workers Of
more than 100 railroads asked an In
crease Of minimum wages from 23
cents to 4S cents an hour and made
virtual demand for recognition Of a
basic eight hour day with time and
one-half for overtime.
E. F. Cradle, president Of the track
man, who with w. L. McMenimen and
Chairman Hooper, Of the labor board.
were credited with holding the track
strike in check, when the shopmen
threw down their tools, opened the
hearing by presenting the demand for
a minimum wage Of 4S cents an hour.
The scale provided by the boards
July l decline which slashed $50,000,-
900 from the railroads maintenance
pay roll, ranged from 20 to IS cents.
This, Cradle declared, was less than

Cradle was armed with strike vote
which his organization approved as
the shop men walked off their jobs.
Cradle characterized the case as the
most important which has come be-
fore the board since its creation.
