GOVERNMENT ASKS HELP None Are to Be Conscripted, In tent Being Merely to Get Idea on Extent of Co-operation to Be Depended On. REGISTRATION SUGGESTIONS FOR OREGON WOMEN. Registration of all women over 16 years old Is desired. Foiling places are tbos used In last city election. Women may register In any convenient polling-place. If more convenient they may register at 603 Corbett building or at the Woodard, Clarke & Co. drugstore, West Park and Alder streets. Polls open at 10 A. M. today, closing at 8 P. M. Registration Is not compulsory, but is urgently desired by the United States Government offi cials. It Is not a conscription propo sition, but merely the business like manner of mobilizing the women of the Nation for war work. It is nation-wide in scops. Machinery for the registration of Oregon women Is ready for operation and will begin at 10 o'clock today. "The United States Government asks it and we're going to do it" is the motto of the woihen. It is not for purposes of conscrip tion merely to mobilize the women workers and to ascertain in concrete, definite form what they are willing to do in prosecuting the war to a suc cessful termination. President Wilson and his Cabinet heartily approve of the plan, and so, throughout the length and breadth of the land today, those over 16 years old will register for service and state what they can do, when and whether they wish pay for the work, expenses paid or are volunteers pure and simple. Registration may be made in the reg ular voting precinots throughout the city, at the offices of Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar, 603 Corbett building or at the Woodard, Clarke & Co. drug store. West Park and Alder streets. Polls Open Until 8 P. M. The registration will continue from 10 A. M. to 8 P. M. The registration is being handled by the various women's clubs. Mrs. Charles II. Castner, president of the Oregon Federation of Women's Clubs and chairman of the women's division of the National Council of Defense for Oregon, is in general charge through out the state. She has organized, through, members of various clubs, about 400 local committees, who will today devote their entire time to the registration. Mrs. John F. Beaumont, chairman of the Portland division, and Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar, secretary treasurer of the Oregon division, are Mrs. Castner's chief assistants here. "This is a great day in the lives or Portland women," said Mrs. Dunbar. "In the minds of many it is as great as the recent registration of all the young men of the country between the ages of 21 and 31." 70,000 Cards Distributed. Distributors in every case women have placed 70,000 registration cards in the homes, and those officially as sociated with the great task predict that Portland and Oregon will again demonstrate the strong patriotio spirit recorded in every other movement for the prosecution of the war. There has been considerable confu sion over the registration proposal, many thinking it to be equal to con scription and that, should they register, they would be called upon by the Gov ernment to be sent away from their homes, etc. Nothing of the kind is con templated; It is simply the business like way of mobilizing the forces of the country, recording In definite form the duties which may from time to time be placed upon the women of the Nation. Busy women with children and household duties have met the situa tion cheerfully and bravely and have declared their willingness to register for extra work. One woman told of having relatives in the German army, but added: "This is my country now and this is the one I shall work for.

FINE CORN IS FEATURE Amusements Form No Small Part of Successful Ensemble and Gov ernor Withycombe Will Be Chief Speaker Today. HEPPNER. Or., Sept. 14. (Special.) The annual Morrow" County Fair Is un der way here and gives evidence of be ing the most successful meeting in the history of this organization. While the unpropitious season has worked against a record-breaking exhibit of agricul tural and horticultural products it Is conceded by all that the showing is better than the most ardent enthusiasts had dared to hope for. The unusual lateness of the season works a hardship on the exhibitors of fruit and vegetables, and many of the apple, pear and other Winter varieties how a lack of coloring and maturity which is to be expected, but taken alto gether the exhibits are decidedly creditable. Irrigon, Cecil and other districts bor- ering the Columbia River and under the irrigation projects of that section are making excellent showing. Farmer Smith, of the O.-W. R. & N. Company, is pointing with pride to the Irrigon showing of 14-foot cornstalks bearing 14-inch ears, well matured. C A. Minor, who is one of the Mor row County Fair s original advocates, has a wonderful floral exhibit. B. H. Peck has a splendid exhibit of dry land products and many other dis tricts and individual exhibits are worth while. Outside the regular erhibit halls the popular attractions are numerous and above the average in merit. The fireworks exhibits are particularly fine. W. E. Priestly, who had entire charge of all fireworks a;, the San Francisco exhibit, is in charge of that feature. The Morrow County Red Cross Society had charge of the afternoon programme yesterday. Today was farmers' union day. R. A. Blanchard, former county agri culturist for Crook and Deschutes coun ties, now with the Livestock State Bank of Portland, and Mrs. Edyth Tozler Weathered are speakers. Saturday will be everybody's day, and Governor With ycombe will be t.ie principal speaker. 'u v Kf - . I I .

There Is talk of holding a meeting of representatives of West Side counties to ascertain if steps cannot be taken to force the commission to do otherwise. Senator Vinton Is particularly bltt in his criticism. He contends that the support of the Yamhill, Polk and Wash lngton delegations was the only thing that made possible the enactment of any kind of road legislation in the last legislature, and also to prove that the Issuance of the circulars was planned at a secret meeting held at a socialist headquarters. The defense contends that this meet ing was not secret. A Government witness testified that those attending the meeting were identified to make sure no "spotters" or Government officers were present.

BRIEF IS FILED III HYDE-BENSON CASES State Continues Its Endeavors to Recover School Lands in Seven Counties. ACT "OF 1901 ATTACKED Supremo Court Called Upon to Decide Whether or Hot Oregon Has Been Defrauded, as 'Attorney-General Asserts. SALEM. Or.. Sept. 14 (Special.) A two-volume brief, with approximately S50 pages in each volume, waa filed in the Supreme Court today by Attorney-General Brown and Assistant Attorney-General Bailey In the Hyde Benson cases, which have been ap pealed from the decision of six Cir cuit Judges. Referring to the action desired by the state, the brief says: "We respect fully submit that the decree In the Clackamas County case should be re versed and one entered here awarding us the lands Involved In that case, un conditionally, and with costs and dis bursements; that the parts of the de crees in Linn. Jackson and Hood River counties, appealed from by the state, should be modified so that the relief granted therein to the state would be unconditional; that the decrees in Lane and Crook counties should be affirmed and that the state should recover its costs and disbursements herein. Be cause the decree In the Klamath County case has not been entered we do not know what modification tnereof, if any, we may desire. Judge Kuykendall has expressed bis opinion as to the Klamath County case, but the formal decree has not been entered so far. As soon as the decree comes down It Is understood that that case will be linked with the other six cases and that one opinion of the Su preme Court will cover the entire seven. The brief touches particularly upon an act of 1901, upon which Judge Camp bell, of Clackamas County, mainly hinged his decision, the only one di rectly adverse to the state. Judge Campbell held that the act of 1901 con firmed the title- of purchasers of school lands from the etate. The brief asserts that this act was unconstitutional and defective and that both the courts and Legislatures have placed different con struction upon this act than the con struction placed upon it by Judge Campbell. "This office has now been engaged on these cases for several years," says the brief, in conclusion. "The ques tion of whether or not the state has been defrauded is now before this court for final decision. If this court should decide that the laws relating to the sale of Bchool lands were enacted with the idea that they are more to be hon ored in their breach than in their ob servance, and that the land grabber, who acquired many thousand acres in direct violation of law by inducing citi zens of this state to commit perjury in order that he might profit thereby, and whereby citizens of this state, de siring to purchase lands, weer deprived of such opportunity, is to go forth with the approval of this court, then we shall eel that our efforts and the prayers of every law-abiding citizen of the state have been in vain."
