CARELESS HUNTERS
SHOULD BE rUNISHEH
Last Friday noon, whtlo potting a
colt In the yard, a stray bullet from
beyond some willow brush a short
distance away struck Fred Ward, an
employee ot Lloyd Powell's in the
arm, tearing a hole through the flesh
that put him out of commission tor
over a week. The hunter vanished
without a word and would no doubt
have done the some if the accident
had been more serious.
We read of such occurances every
day. People are constantly being
warned against the careless use of
firearms and still without avail. It
seems that carelessness In such
things should be considered more of
a crime than It Is at present.

The Governor and Bute Board of
Control have promised that these
buildings will not be erected when
a labor shortage exists, and that the
money will be expended only when
conditions as to employment exist,
making It advisable to proceed with
the work In order to give employment
to labor.
Thus it will be seen that $2,647,
500 of the proposed fund is a perma
nent Investment fund to be repaid
with principal and interest and that
employment of surplus Oregon labor.

The Roosevelt Coast Military High

state and national highway along the
coast, provided the Federal Govern

highway also means the opening up
a large territory to development
and taxation. No money would be
spent unless the state appropriation
was matched by the Federal Govern
ment. The building of this highway
would be equivalent to building an
other railroad in the state of Oregon.

Roy Sumner, who was in active ser-

Chronicle has the following to say
concerning him:
Declaring that war breeds a spirit
tnan an adventure, Roy Sumner ot
prlneTlle, Oregon, arrived in this
Stuart of Thompson's addition. Sum
ner servod through nine campaigns
overseas and was for nine months
constantly on the firing line. He haa

saw service in all big engagements
at Luneville, Bacaerite, at
iChampaigne, Chateau Thierry, Bell-
eau Wood, r arrentaraenois, at. miniei
Argonne and the Argonn-Meuse.
During some ot the time, although
an engineer, he fought as an Infantry
man. . Mostly, however, with his com
mand he pushed ahead ot the iniantry
cutting the wire entanglements of the
enemv At this work he was afforded
no protection by his position, wag
in no way a combattant, yet was at
the same time subject to the most
withering tire of small- and large
shell.
Miraculous as it seems, Sumner es
caped from the inferno of war, where
he took chances with death every
day, unscathed save for a mere bullet
scratch.

going through day after day of shell
whine and guns booming. It geta
lots of the boys. Lots of fellows in
my company couldn't stay in the
front line for long intervals. The
concussions tended to snap their
nerves. Many of the men did collapse
under the strain." .
When asked how he stood It, Sum
ner replied, "I'm a lucky one. The

seem to bother me at all. At any
