C. Moore, I, Holds Impor

At a conference held In Salem yea-
terday with the State Land Board
Jaaon C Moore, who hai leased Sum
mer Lake from the state, obtained
terms satisfactory to both parties.
which will assure the immediate erec
tion of a commercial reduction plant
at the lake. Fletcher Linn and Frank
B. Layman, who hare become inter
ested with Mr. Moor In the enterprise,
appeared with him before the State
Land Board and ail three returned to
Portland laat night.
"It was agreed with the State Land
Board that upon my release to the
state of the $10,000 paid in as a guar
antee of good faith when the lease was
(ranted, that the board would acknowl
edge receipt in full of all obligations
up to the end of 1919. and that the
I rase would be modified in accordance
with the agreement." said Mr. Moore
last night. "When production begins,
royalty will be paid as specified In the
lase at the rate of 2a cents a ton for
eioda ash, and SO cents a ton for potash
produced from the deposits of Summer
Lake.
Early Csaipletloa Crged.
"Work will be started as soon as
weather conditions will permit and
pushed to speedy completion. Dr. E.
"W. Laiell. chemical engineer, will have
charge of the erection of the plant. It
will involve an expenditure of $30,000.
and It is our hope to have It completed
and ready for operation early in the
Spring, as early as condition of the
roads will enable economical movement
of the product to the railroad for ship
jnent to market. There is at the prea
ent time a strong demand for the prod
uct, due in part to lack of transporta
tion to supply the normal demand
throughout the duration of the war.
and the more than normal demand for
aome of the products of the deposits.
It Is impossible to determine bow long
the present strong demand will con
tinue, and for that reason we wish to
expedite work.'
Some shipments of soda ash have been
made by the way of Lakeview. hauling
oy auto truck to that point, thence by
the narrow gauge Nevada-California
Oregon railroad to Reno, and thence to
San Francisco by the Southern Pacific.
The cost of moving the product by that
circuitous route is high, but with the
present demand for the salts produced
is warranted. However, ultimate con.
(traction of a railroad to handle tha
output Is one of the results that Is ex- I t
pected to follow the adoption of plans I !

WASHINGTON'. Dec. 3. (Special.)
For the first time In many years, if
not for the first time In the history
of the Oregon country, the entire senjs
ate and House delegations from Ore
gon and Washington met today to urge
a common cause the continuance of
the wooden ship-building programme
In the Pacific Northwest. While the
members of the Shipping Board did
not commit themselves, the comments
they made and the questions they
asked created a strong impression that
thev favor restoring work on the con
tracts upon which proceedings were
sunnended.
Only three members or me snipping
Board were present, Messrs. Donald,
Colby and Page, the ether members,
Hurley and Stevens, being in Europe.
In addition to the Senators and Rep
resentatives, there were present Guy
M. Standlfer and C. M. Hamilton, rep
resenting shipbuilding interests; A. C
Dixon, representing the Booth-Kelly
Lumber Company, and R. B. Allen, rep
resenting the lumbering and logging
interests of the Pacino Nortnwest.
Conference la Iaformal.
The conference, which had been ar
ranged by Representative McArthur,
was largely informal. Addresses were
made by all the members of the two
delegations, the purport or wnicn was
that both the shipbuilders and the
laboring men have relied upon the
completion of the ship building pro
gramme and have been encouraged 10
do so by recent utterances of the chair
man of the board: Nearly all have in
curred obligations upon the strength of
the confidence in the continuance or
the work, regardless of the coming
Winter.
One of the Impressive features of
the "discussion was the showing that
the shipbuilders would suffer the least
loss by cancellation of the contracts,
while labor would suffer most. The
uhlDbuildlntr comDanies and some of
the sub-contractors would be relm
bursed for their losses, but many of
the sub-contractors would suffer heavy
losses and the laborers would be out
of employment. It was estimated that
35.000 workmen would bo directly af
fected and 50.000 indirectly through
suspension of allied industries.
It was also stated that to cancel

Acceptance of Unit to Mean Scenic
Thoroughfare From Portland to
Foot of Mount Hood.
First Lieutenant Orvllle A. Ste

First Lieutenant Orvllle A.
Stephens was killed In action in
France October 6, according to
an official dispatch from the War
Department to his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. E. M. Stephens, of 5356
Forty-fourth street.
Lieutenant Stephens was a
member of Company B, of the
Third Oregon, for several years,
going to France with it in Janu
ary of this year.
Lieutenant Stephens had spent
most of his life in the Army.
When only 16 years of age he
enlisted and saw service in the
Spanish-American War and later
became a veteran of the Mexican
border trouble.
Lieutenant Stephens leaves his
parents and two sisters. Mrs. Ida
Butler and Mrs. Louise Luther,
both of Portland; a brother, Eu
gene Stephens, of Hood River,
and a brother, Charles, of this
city.
Gift of the old Barlow road, present
thoroughfare to Mount Hood and one
of the state's earliest pioneer trails,
to form one unit of a Victory memorial
highway to Oregon's most magnificent
mountain, was tendered yesterday by
George W. Joseph, sole owner of the
right-of-way of tha Mount Hood and
Barlow Road Company, to the selective
committee of the Victory Memorial As
sociation.
In p-esenting his offer to the se
lective committee, Mr. Joseph expressed
the belief that a highway from Port
land to Mount Hood would constitute
an expressive testimonial to the serv
ices of Oregon's sons in the late war.
To such an end he offered the Barlow
road, at present operated as a tollroad.
None of Oregon's famous trails is
richer In tradition than the Barlow
oad. constructed in 1S52 as the con
necting link between -Eastern Oregon
and the Willamette Valley, via the
southern flank of Mount Hood. It has
been In constant use since pioneer days,
and at present serves as the main route
for tcurist and sight-seeing travel to
the mountain.
The Barlow road connects with the
main road at the Forest Reserve line.
about five miles this side of Rhododen
dron, extends through Government
Camp, from whence the mountaineering
parties set forth, and touches Wapi-
nitia, on Juniper Flat. The road is ap
proximately 40 miles in length.
Should the Barlow road be accepted
as a unit of the memorial tribute, the
Victory Highway would run from Port
land to Gresham, thence W Sandy, and
thence to Mount Hood, a distance of
56 miles. Graded and paved, the scenic
thoroughfare would be comparable to
the Columbia Highway, as the course
extends through country that is wildly
beautiful, and terminates at the foot ol
Mount Hood itself.
Mr. Joseph is of the opinion that.
should his offer be accepted, appropria
tions may yet be obtained from Federal
and state sources to further the Vic
tory Highway.
$30,000,000 worth of contracts would
cost the Government $15,000,000 in Officials attributed these huge expenses
payment for materials already ordered I to the fact that the Government is
paying for the tremendous output of
war munitions and materials reached a
month or two ago. They also expect
that the expense of liquidating con
tracts and paying lump sums to con
tractors will keep the monthly outlay
at high figures for some time.

VINEYARDS ARE IN DANGER
I War Prohibition Measure Canse of
Emergency Measures.
SACRAMENTO, Cal- Dec. 3. (Spe
cial.) Wine vineyardists of the Lodi
section have come to. the conclusion
that in the face of the war prohibition
measure they must act quickly in order
to avoid total loss of their annual in
come.
The sight of many fine vineyards be
ing torn out is visible evidence of the
determination of some owners to give
up further fighting for their industry.
But others will not give up so easily.
A number of large owners are dis
cussing a plan whereby they will give
their grapes the initial crushing and
then ship the liquid to a point in
Mexico where a winery will be estab
lished to finish the product.
It is asserted that the raw wine can
be shipped by boat and handled with
profit from a Mexican market. It is
stated that some of the vineyardists
will seek to get co-operative action,
believing that if they can find a mar
ket for their crops this year the re
action after the war will permit the
continuation of the grape industry.

An examining physician for one of
the prominent Lite Insurance Compa
nies, in an interview of the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why bo many applicants
for Insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people, and the large major
ity of those whose applications are de
clined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp-Root Is strictly
an herbal compound and wc would ad
vise our readers who feel ln need of
such a remedy to give it a trial. It is
on sale at all drug stores in bottles of
two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation, send ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Blnghamton, N. Y.,
for a sample bottle. When writing be
sure and mention The Portland Daily
