South America, he is expected to
exercise the discretion voted him
by Congress and authorize the
construction of two battleships to
represent the last word in capital
ship construction. The new battle
ships were authorized by Con-
gress if such construction was I'M
dertaken by other powers. 1t has
been pointed out that when the
London Naval Treaty expires at
midnight, December 21st, Great
Britain viii include two battle
ships of the most powerful type
eyed designed in a new naval pro-
gram. France and Italy have each
authorized two 35,000-ton battle
ships and Germany is construct
ing three dreadnaughts. Japan is
believed to have an ambitious
program for herself.
The new warships will cost
around $5O,0OO,OOO each, of which
SIS, 100000 will be spent for ar
NOR weapons. The calibre of the
guns in the main batteries is in
doubt, depending upon whether
other nations ratify the agree
ment at London last April to
limit guns to the fourteen-inch
type. Inasmuch as the limita-
tions will hardly be in effect, the
new warships will probably mount
nine 15-inch guns, three to the
turret, with two turrets aft and
one forward. Displacement of the
ships will be around $4,000 tons
and their speed will not be less
than twenty-five knots. Second
airy and auti-aircraft batteries
are expected to be the final word
in naval ordnance construction.
The battleship programs of the
naval powers, which seem certain
to get underway after January
LIST, are apparently the con-
elusive answer to the contention
that the airplane and dirigible
have ended the usefulness of CAPT.
tai ships. In the opinion of most
naval experts, the warship con-
tinues to be the backbone" of
fighting fleets and its value is not
lessened by improved air services.
In fact, Rear Admiral j. X. Taus-
| sig, Assistant Chief of Naval
Operations, does not think that
aircraft can sink modern battle
ships for the reason that eve will
not let them get in a position to
do So"

The Treasury Department has
made a study of tax levies in or
der to collect information on
double taxation" During 1885
state governments collected ST..
049, 100000 in tax levies from six
sources on which the Federal
Government, during the same
year, collected $2,271, 400, 900.
While the figures are not official,
they are believed to be substan-
TALLY correct. State governments
collect considerable revenue from
taxes on motor vehicle registra-
tions and from a general sales
tax, which the Federal govern
ment does not duplicate although
it levies something of a sales tax
on certain items. The estate and
inheritance tax melted the Fed
eral government $140, 100000 and
the State governments $100,S00,-
900 in 1885. Figures for five
other taxes for the same year fol-

Mercury Scars
To lo3-Degree
Mark Tuesday
River Reaches Standstill
After Months Rapid
Rise

"a blazing sun beating down re-
lentless1y sent the mercury above
the hundred degree mark here this
week as the second and more Sc
we're heat wave of the month swept
over the Northwest.
A wind and rain storm OF short
duration Tuesday night failed to
bring relief to this section, temper
atures continuing high that night
and Wednesday, with greatly in
creased humidity, despite the fact
that the day was entirely cloudy.
wednesday evening, however, the
mercury began to drop and cool,
cloudy weather, with light rain,
Thursday apparently marked the
end of the wave.
Reaction of the Columbia river to
the hot spell will not be known for
several days yet, although in all
probability it will result in rapid
rise. After rising steadily for over
a month, the river dropped off from
the peak reading late last week, and
was Slightly. lower today, Thursday,
the stage at Coyote Rapids being
52o.8 feet The peak stage, s52l. 4
feet, was reached Maya.
At the peak stage on the latter
date there was IL times as much
water in the Columbia as there
was two months previously, accord
ing to figures compiled at Rock
Island Dam, near Wenatchee, the
river flow having increased from
$4,000 cubic feet per second in
March to 100000 cubic feet per sec
ond May %. The average flow or
May % is 10000 cubic feet.

rs NOT AFFECTED

Activities of the Resettlement
Administration in Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho will continue in
full despite newspaper headlines
concerning it's unconstitutionality
A. D. Stocking, county supervisor,
declared this week The 1000 fam
lilies under the rehabilitation pro
gram, four land conservation pro-
jects and resettlement areas in this
region are in no way affected by
the lower federal courts decision,
made on plans for model COM
munity in Somerset county, New
Jersey.
The three-to-tWO decision rem
dered by the District of Columbia
court of appeals is limited entirely
to an injunction restraining plans
for a model community in New
Jersey and reverses the ruling Of
the District of Columbia supreme
court which upheld the validity of
this project, points out Gilbert Suss-
man, regional attorney.
'The decision does not affect any
particular phase of the Resettle-
ment Administration program" he
states. Furthermore, the language
of the court with respect to the
unconstitutionality of the emer-
gency relief appropriation act of
1885 was entirely gratuitous and in
no way involved in the issue pre-
sented the court for decision

Campaign For
Hall Funds Is
Short OF Mark
More Contributions are
Needed To Meet
Quota

The drive to collect funds with
which to meet the conmunity's
share in the construction of the
community hall was proceeding
slowly this week, less than one
quarter of the funds having been
secured.
The quota for the drive was set
at a community meeting held be-
fore construction of the hall was
started. It was decided at that time
that each family in the community
be asked to contribute one dollar
per month for period of three
months, the funds thus realized to
be used in paying for the supervi-
sion of the work, and for some ma
terials which were not included in
the project as set up by the WPA.
The committee in charge of col
lecting the funds urges that resi-
dents do not wait for solicitors to
approach them for their pledge, but
to bring the money to either the
White Bluffs Trading company or
the White Bluffs Motor company.
To date, only $53 has been re-
ceived, although a greater amount
has been pledged. a number Of
residents have already contributed
their full three months pledge,
others having met the first months
obligation.
Those who have contributed the
full amount are:
Harry Keller, Wilmot Morford,
Paul Schicka, r. r. Woods, F.. A.
English, D. S. Wilkinson, Levi Aus
tin, Ed Anderson, Alex Parke, Arno
Krug, r. S. Reierson, w. j. Kin
caid, Fred Gilhuly and L. T. Young.
Those who have contributed one
months pledge are: Thos. j. Clarke,
G.. O. Bunnell, Mrs. G. D. Love
land, H. Fl. Smith, George Chase,
: Jess Brown, Byron Grewel1, Ormas
Evett, Roy Beene, William Keal and

SODA MEETINGS
HERE NEXT WEEK

The balance of the community
meetings on the Agricultural Con-
servation Program will be held this
coming week, according to Waldo
w. Skuse, county extension agent,
who has secured the assistance OF
A. r. Chase Of the State College
for these meetings.
Mr.. Skuse states that the antici-
pated recommendations regarding
orchard land have been granted,
even to greater extent than ex-
pected, so that now an orchardlst
can qualify much more easily than
was considered possible, Further
more, soil building crops can be
utilized in any way desired, and the
nurse crop under certain condl-
tons, can be taken off as hay or
grain and farmer still will be
able to qualify for the soil building
payments.
Every farmer is urged to call dur
ing the hours scheduled at one OF
the community meeting places.

which was apparently quite clean,
was dressed at once and again

suit a physician at once. 1t was
found that tetanus had set in and

ily was called to the hospital Tues
