As a result there came the puut of the railroad Federal control bill. It Is conceded, however, that further asaaults on Secretary Baker are com ing.. The let-up was due to unexpected Illness of Senator Chamberlain, who was operated on for appendicitis, and the growing restlessness in tne country aitainat the blocking e? war measures by seemfngly unjustified condemnation of war work done.

Hart productions are al ways satisfying, but "Blue Blazes Rawden." his latest Artcraft offering. is even more so than usual. ' It unfolds a virile story of the Northwest lumber campsy and carries with it plenty of action, thrills and an underlying vein of heart interest that holds the spec tator from the first. Blue Blazes Rawden Is an excep tional story for the display of William S. Hart's particular brand of acting.

Its ethics are questionable, and Ita appeal la largely to the morbid, but there's nothing questionable about the splendid act ing of J. Barney Sherry, who easily dominates this latest Trtsngle picture. The danger of relying entirely on cir cumstantial evidence is well brought out In the footage, showing the arrest and conviction of two boya on a charge of murder.

The statement issued by the appea board follows: "The district board for the Second district of Oregon, which comprises 12 counties with over lo.OOO registrants, having been in daily session since the middle of December, has completed its labors, excepting a few unfinished and appealed cases which are- coming daily and will speedily be disposed of. "The district board has original Jur isdiction on all industrial, and agricul tural claims, but has no jurisdiction of dependency cases, excepting when ap pealed to the district board from the local boards of the different counties by the Government appeal agent or the registrant Lane . Boards Considerate. "All industrial and agricultural claims having been passed upon by the same board, the rulings in all the dif ferent counties are uniform; much more uniform than the rulings of the differ ent counties upon dependency cases. Most counties have been strict in de pendency cases, but a few of the coun ties, Including Lane County, have given nearly 'all the married men the most deferred dependency classincations. Many complaints have been made to the board regarding dependency classi fications In Lune County, but the dis trict board can only refer these com plaints to the Government appeal agent. "Wherever errors have been made in the classification of dependents whose cases have been brought to the district board, it is the patriotic duty of neigh bors and friends knowing the existence of such errors to immediately report the same to the board with affidavits and data setting all the facts. Where merit appears in the affidavits and in formation furnished, the district board will reconsider such cases in order that complete justice may be done. "Where Lane County dependency classifications have not been brought to the district board upon appeal, such complaints would have to be made to the Government appeal agent, E. O. Immel, of Eugene, who, upon sufficient showing, would make an appeal to the district board." JOEL CHAMBERLAIN BURIED Lebanon Man Wlio Died AVhile in Navy Laid to Rest. LEBANON, Or., Feb. 24.
