B’orÂ" Starts on Bridge EDUCATIONAL BILL Ilwaco Mai/or is Missing. HARD TO INTERPRET. Attorney General Asked to Clear Up Apparant Dis­ crepancies in Soldiers’ Aid Law. Salem, Or., June 17.—In view ot the vague and uncertain provisions of the soldiers’ and sailors' educational bill, passed by the people at the recent special election, Deputy Secretary of State Sam A. Kozer has requested an opinion from Attorney General Brown as to the intents and purposes of the act. His office is now receiving many inquires daily concerning the meas­ ure. “In view of the fact that the pro­ visions of this measure are somewhat indefinite, it is not possible to advise inquirers just exactly what procedure is necesiary on their part to secure any benefits accruing under the pro­ visions of this act,” said Mr Kozer. “In the first place, an institution of learning, public or private, as therein mentioned is nowhere defined. Fur ther, the act provides that al! honor­ ably discharged soldiers, sailors and marines are granted the right and privilege of state financial aid to an amount not exceeding $25 for any one month and not exceeding $2(M for any one year for a period of not more than four years. Yet it provides further that upon approval of the soldiers' application by the executive head of the institution he desires to attend, the secretary of state shall pay over to such institution monthly, a sum not exceeding $25, and the insritution is required to provide lodging, board and other necessities required by such ap­ plicant to enable him to pursue the course or courses of study he desires. “Many of the soldiers desiring to avail themselves of the privileges and benefits of this act doubtless wish to maintain themselves, and further very few institutions of learning in the state are equipped to furnish board and lodging to students. It is with a view of reconciling the several an parently conflicting provisions, as well as securing a legal determination of the intent aad purpose of the act, that the attorney general's opinion has been requested. “Under the existing conditions it ' is possible only for this office to pro- | vipe inquirers with a copy of the law and advise them of the fact that its provisions are more or less indefinite and consequently referred to the at­ torney general for a legal determina- Ilwaco, Wash., June 19. —Walter Se: borg, mayor of Ilwaco, and one of the , best-known of the older residents of I the North Beach peninsula, is heliev, ! to have been drowned in the ocean, off The Rocks, a short distance from I this city. Mr. Seaborg left for the Rocks Fri­ day morning to fish and dig clams an has not been seen since his arrival at the beach Searching parties fount: his bait pail and fith lying upon the fishing rocks, and as the breakers at this place are extremely treacherous it is believed that he fell between th rocks and was unable to crawl out again. The fact that M-. Seaboig never made a practice of remainirg away from home over night strength­ ens the belief that he has been drown­ ed.
