The selection of candidates will be made by a board of officers to be in- Quarantine Regulation to Be Rigid but Otherwise Inmates Will Be Treated AVltli Consideration, as .Patients, Not Prisoners. Definite selection of Kelly Butte as the temporary isolation camp for im moral women who are found to be dis eased and an emergency appropriation of $10,075 with which to carry on this work during a six-months period were outstanding features yesterday in the campaign against vice now being car ried on by city and county officials in co-operation with the Federal Govern ment, which is represented by John McCourt, of the Fosdick Vice Commis sion. The County Commissioners yesterday voted the emergency appropriation ' unanimously and without protest after Mr. McCourt had submitted a complete budget of the estimated cost of oper ating the camp. The place will be under the direct supervision of Super intendent of County Properties Eatch ell, although the city officials will be asked to name the matron, nurses and other employes necessary to the maintenance of the quarantine station. The place will be suitably guarded by the county officials. Supplies to Be Pat In. Sheriff Hurlburt said yesterday aft ernoon that Kelly Butte would be put In readiness for occupation early this week. The stockade fence will be re paired immediately, and all supplies authorized under the budget adopted will be ordered at once. Immediate arrangements will be made for caring for 60 women, although accommoda tions can be provided on short notice for 120 women. The budget as submitted by Mr. Mc Court and approved by the County Board estimates an average of 75 women at the isolation camp during the six months. On the basis of 50 cents a day for board for each woman, the total cost of food is placed at $6750, which is the largest .single item of the budget. The matron will re ceive $100 a month for six months, while two nurses for the same period, at $75 a month, ' will amount to $900. The only other employe named in the budget is a cook, at $75 a month, or a total of $450. Medicine and laboratory equipment Is estimated at $1000, while 75 new mattresses will cost $150. Incidental expenses. Including shower baths, dishes, bed linen and other minor Items, are estimated at $225. City May Assume Burden. In granting the emergency appro priation, the County Board did so with the understanding that, should the city administration find itself financially able to handle the situation after the first of the year, it would do so. It is likewise understood that the city will go ahead with immediate plans for the construction of a permanent Isolation camp as quickly as possible. All women who are interned in the camp will be placed there under rigid quarantine regulations Instead of through any criminal process, as Is now being' done to hold them. The women will be allowed as much free dom as possible, although strict camp rules pertaining to visitors and other liberties will be enforced. Every woman thus quarantined will be compelled to remain until a permanent cure has been effected. Habecn Corpus Tnsnccessful. Further delay in the efforts of Bes sie Smith and Minnie Brooke, two women of the underworld, now seeking release from the City Jail through writs of habeas corpus, wes encoun tered yesterday when Circuit Judge Llttlefleld held their petitions to be Illegally drawn. Amended petitions were filed yesterday and the cases will come up for joint hearing before Judge Littlefield tomorrow morning. The women, together with numerous others, are now held at the City Jail in default of $2000 cash bail. Charges of vagrancy have been filed against them, and they areseeking their release on the grounds that their bail as fixed by Municipal Judge Rossman is excessive. Mr. McCourt. as a representa tive of the Federal Government in this and other vi- 3 crusades on the Pacific Coast, yesterday expressed his gratifi cation at the promptness with which city and county officials were acting "to meet an emergency of such grave concern to the soldiers quartered in the Army camps in this district."

Application Made for Appointment of Federal Inspector All Potatoes Are to Be Graded. Efforts are being made by "W. K. Newell, acting Federal food admin istrator, to have a potato inspector ap pointed for the Oregon district, to enter upon the work of grading immediately. "Complaints are continually coming in from all parts of the state," said Mr. Newell yesterday, "about Jhe care less grading, sr.. all and knotty potatoes being mixed freely with the larger and smoother ones, and in many cases en tire shipments are of such inferior grade that the prices they bring in the market will not pay the cost of sacking and shipping. "All the small and knotty potatoes should be graded out, to be sold near the point of production at low prices or used for stock feed. They might also be sold to., starch factories or to canneries. "Oregon's potato crop is so large that there is not a sufficient market t home, and a market outside the state must be found for approximately 4000 cars, it is estimated. To insure good prices in the out-of-state market the potatoes must be carefully i -aded, an I only those of good quality sent out." FORT STEVENS, Or., Nov. 19. (Spe cial.) Master Gunner Lewis A. Bond, of the noncommissioned staffc Oregon Coast Artillery, has just re' ceived notice of appointment to the grade of Provisional Second Lieuten ant of field artillery, regular Army. Master Gunner Bond was a resident of Eugene and a student of the Uni versity of Oregon and a member of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity at the uni versity. He took the examinations for Second Lieutenant at Seattle in July, HOW TO GET RID OF INDIGESTION 'Most people who suffer from Indigestion, pastritts, dyspepsia, etc. even those who have been afflicted for years and who have tried dlctors. hospitals and patent medicines Kalore without permanent benefit can j?et instant relief and insure painless normal digestion by taking a teaepoonful of or dinary Bi-nesia in a little hot water im mediately after eating." The authority for the above statement who has spent years in European countries investigating the re suits from t he use of the product known among druggists here as Bi-nesia. claims that the remnrkable and instant relief which fiimost invariably follows its use is due to the fact that it neutralizes stomach acid and stops food fermentation, thus irivln nature a chance to proceed with its work, without hindrance.

Means whereby the city can get cordwood laid down either on the East Side or the West Side for $5.30 a cord is to be considered by the City Council at a meeting at 2 P. M. tomorrow. The city was unable to get men to cut wood on three tracts near the city, se lected for that purpose. The city in endeavoring to go into the fuel business first selected stump age land, then sought bids for cutting wood. No bids were received. A man at Willamina since has come forward with the J5.30 offer.
