Hot stuff will be laid tomorrow, the first square yard of hard surface pave ment under the $6,000,000 road bond is sue. The road bonds were approved by the people June 4, the state high way commission let the contract for 10 miles out of Pendleton Friday after noon, and July 3 the actual start will be made. “We are going to rush things as fast ni labor conditions will permit.” said Chairman S. Benson, today, “and labor is the ore uncertainty. The 10 mile» out ot Pendleton, toward the Washing- ton state line, on the road to Walla Walla, will be completed in seven weeks. It will be finished in time for the Roundup. The base on this road is ready and there is a paving plant now operating in Pendleton, the con tractors are able to begin tomorrow morning. Weather conditions in Eas tern Oregon are such that there is vir tually no danger of delay from rains, and the work will proceed with all speed.” Other road work is to be expedited, whether grading or hardsurfacing. “There will be a hardsurface pave ment from Portland to Newberg this year,” predicts Benson. “This road to he paved is the Rex-Tigard route. By placing plants at two or three points on the road, the hardsurfacing can be finished in a few months from the Multnomah county line into Yamhill county, passing through Washington county. I hope to see hardsurface be tween Evenson and Astoria this year, but doubt whether the entire distance can be covered before the rains set in. - .......... Many Seek Admission Officers’ Camps. -------------------- Submarines Barred Troni Spanish Washington, July 2—Twenty-three states became bone-dry Saturday mid night, the effective hour of the Reed amendment prohibiting shipment of li quor into any territory where its man ufacture or sale is prohibited. Eleven other states are partially affected by the legislation, which has been hailed by temperance advocates as the great est single step toward abolition of the liquor traffic in the nation’s histo ry. The law bars from prohibition areas all mail matter containing advertise ments or solicitations for orders for in toxicants. Justice anci postoffice department of ficials have made extensive prepara tions for enforcement of the statute. No ruling has been made regarding the status of medicines containing alcohol and that question may be among the first to be passed on by the courts un der the legislation. The language of the anti-shipment section is very comprehensive, impos ing a fine of $1009 and imprisonment for six months, or both, on any person who shall “order, purchase or cause in toxicating liquors to be transporte 1 in interstate commerce except for sci- entific, sacramental or mechanical pu>- noses into any state or territory, the laws of which sta'e or territosy pro- hibit the manufacture or sale therein of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes.” The same penalties are prescribed for violations of the anti-advertising sec tion. For a second offense in either case the penalty is made one year’s imprisonment. Waters Madrid, July 2—King Alfonso ha» signed a decree declaring that the sub marines of all the belligerent powers are forbidden to navigate within Span ish territorial waters or to enter Span ish ports.

Roseburg, Or., July 2—Tom Dixon an 1 Rafe Dixon, living near this city, have sold 10"0 sheep, 500 each, to a for eign buyer, at $9 a head. Most of the sheep were wethers. The owners did not want to sell but were unable to find herders to take the sheep to the green pastures, in the mountains. Men do not like to herd sheep as a rule, and as there is a shortage of farm labor, the flock owners were obliged to sell their sheen at lower prices than they have been selling here recently. Most of the other sales here have been made on a basis of $10. Shearers es- timate that the number of sheep in this county has decreased one half.

Washington, July 2— Representatives of virtually all the great life insurance companies in the country are expected to meet Secretary McAdoo and other cabinet members here today to consid- er plans for insuring the lives of men in the naval and military service. Under the proposal the government would insure the men in service for limited amounts in case of death, inju ry or capture, a system similar to that imposed upon owners in the merchant marine. In addition to this men would be perinittei to take further insur ance. Such a p'an, if accepted, probably would sound the knell of the pension system. In the plans submitted to the defense council the extreme liability of $4000 was suggested. In the merchant marine, death benefits range from $1500 to $5000. Roseburg Sheep ■ I Washington, July 2 Purt-hnre r.f the first installment of a . onMgntm nt of fir lumber to build 3'1 wooden ships, ob tained by the Emergency Fleet corpor ation, at $30 a thousand, has been an nounced by Chairman Denman.
