I ML ONLY $15,000 B0NDSUNS0LD WARMSPRINGS SURE Bonds Are Going Going Almost Gone Less Than $15,000 Unsold. Having less than $15,000 unsub scribed bonds remaining' to make up the $350,000 to be raised locally, the Warmsprings project is practically as sured, and is guaranteed to the world by the people "who hold land under the project and live close to it. G. F. Wildhaber returned Thursday evening from Juntura nnd reported that up to Friday morning less than $15,000 of the local a.Iotment of the Warm springs bonds remained unsold. He nlso stated that the subscription list would be closed by the first of next week. The people who have the in terests of the county and valley at heart have readily and without ques tion subscribed for their share in financing the greatest single develop ment possibility within the county. Subscriptions have not alone been con fined to the land owners under the project but sheep and stock men of the county generally, and ranchers and business men all over the county nave joined to assure construction ns soon as possible. Many things remain yet to be at tended to by the board of directors. At their meeting the first of the week they discussed a number of these de tails and are planning on pushing the preliminary work as fast as poss ible in order to dispose of the remain ing $400,000 worth of bonds at the best possible figure. It is hoped to secure par for these bonds, under the circumstances, and a high price , is certain to be offered by the bonding peonle. The principle task remaining now is to float" the $400,000 issue and to prepare detailed plans and specifica tions in order to satisfy the bond buyers and the state engineer that there will be sufficient funds to com plete the project.

Thursday of this week a mad dog or coyote suprised the young son of Arthur Garrett springing at him with such force as to knock him over and severly snapped him on the right wrist. He was brought to town by I. W. Hops who passed the Garrett place a lew minutes after the attack of the animal. From the description given by the boy it was thought that the animal was a coyote altho fiust re ported in town was a mad dog. Soon after the above accident a mad dog crossed the foot bridge from across the river and bit several dogs, in the east part of town. Frank Glenn who was with n party of several arm ed men shot the . dog. There is no question but that the animal who bit young Garrett and the dog that was killed in Vule were both mad, but it cannot be definately determined whether it was one and the same animal or not. Due to the hot dry weather it is feared that an epidemic of rabies may break out among the coyotes and dogs, and the city and health officials have ordered that all dogs must be muzzeled or they will be taken by the city marshal and shot.

If each chapter will teach workers the correct folding no re packing at headquarters will be neces sary. "The main idea of the conven .ion according to the secretary's re port was the idea of service. Red Cross Vork is a privilege and not a sacrifice ":o those who enter it with the Red Cross spirit. Efficiency in the work rooms was another phase of work taken up. Each chapter is asked to ?et out the allotment called for each nonth before they undertake any peciul allotments.

Junior department was noted and the speaker reported that '.his work will reach great proportions .he coming year. A good crowd of ladies attended the meeting and were greatly pleased to hoar the reports of the convention.

Malheur county is well over the top in tho second War Fund Red Cross campaign. It is understood that the Ontario chapter is well past the 100 percent column but no figures are available nt this time.

This is the first time McDermitt has reported as a seperate precinct in any of the Oregon campaigns and their help is certainly to be appreciat ed. It is proper spirit that communit ies boarding the state lino should con tribute to tho stato and county in which the people live and not let one state get all the benefit. Tho campaign has been conducted along tho plan of dividing the chapter territory into as many districts ns possiblo in order that every section will receive individual credit for their own donntions. Chairman II. C. Eastham is to bo congratulated on tho successful manner in which ho has directed the campaign, and especially in the high percentage of cash donations received.
