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.

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.

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.
All such submarines which enter the
Spanish zone for whatever reason
will be interned until the end of the
war.

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.
