COMMISSION URGES SALE Sloncy Needed to Pay Outstanding Indebtedness Is Assertion. Bid Deemed Satisfactory. SAI-EM. Or., May 12. (Special.) The state board of control, acting upon statements contained In tele prrams received from the three mem bers of the state highway commis sion, indicating that there was urgent need of funds with which to meet ob ligations already incurred by the state through the awarding of con tracts for post, and forest roads in Oregon, this afternoon disposed of Jl, 000, 000 of bonds under .the so called federal aid road law passed at the special session of the legislature last January. The bonds were pur chased by the Lumbermens Trust company of Portland, which submit ted the most satisfactory bid of S9.09 in behalf of the Continental & Commercial Trust & Savings bank of , Chicago. In response to telegrams sent to the members of the highway commis sion last night asking whether they considered the situation of a suffi ciently serious nature to warrant the board of control Belling the bonds at a great sacrifice, messages were re ceived here today from Simon Benson, E. 12. Kiddle and R. A. Booth. Affirmative Auvtr Compelled. "Your message of the 11th instant referring to sale of highway bonds just 'reached me via Eugene," said Mr. Booth's telegram to the board of con trol. "The status of the existing con tracts compel an affirmative answer to your inquiry as to the sale of the bonds unless temporary aid can be given from some other source. If the counties would consent to the use by the highway commission of the funds now on hand for market roads or bet ter, if the board of control could lend the commission from the general funds, taking highway bonds as se curity, corresponding delay in bdnd sales might follow. "May we expect temporary help from the general fund or the indus trial fund? About $750,000 is required for disbursement during the month of Hay to meet our obligations. New work involving bond sale should not be undertaken now and existing con tracts should be extended where it will aid in the present emergency to cancel contracts would entail loss greater than discount on the bond sale." Immediate Sale TTreed. The telegram from Mr. Benson reads: "Considering present current icte of interest bids received for bonds very satisfactory. Interest rate certainly will go higher in the. near future. Obligations incurred demand immediate sale of bonds, 4 per cent money, 75 per cent wheat, $10 lumber and $1 a day wages are things of the past, I hope permanently." "While price is not very satisfac tory I do not believe we will make anything by waiting," said E. E. Kid dle in his telegram to the board." I do no, look for cheaper interest rate until other commodities are cheaper. "Would advise selling at price of fered." No serious consideration was given by the board to the queries of Mr. Booth as to whether the counties would consent to use by the highway commission of money now on hand for market roads or whether the board of control could lend to the commission from the general or industrial acci dent funds money sufficient to tide over the emergency. It was etated at the outset of the meeting that no authority existed whereby the board of control could comply with these suggestions even though they felt so disposed. Board Isnnro Statement. Following the sale of these bonds the board issued the following state ment: "If it were not for the fact that the highway commission had al ready obligations which made the sale of these bonds imperative in the minds of the commissioners the board would have rejected these bids." The members of the board believe it re grettable the conditions are such as to render necessary the sale of the state's securities at such a great re duction. Outstanding obligations ap pear to be such, however, as to make it absolutely necessary they ba met with a sale of these bonds, even at a frreat sacrifice. Because of conditions existing the board has been practi cally forced to dispose of this jl,000, 010 worth of securities at the price offered, but it is with only the great est reluctance that the bid is accepted.- large group of Chicago business men who are on their way home from the national foreign trade convention at San Francisco.

Jordan leaves to Select Lauding Fields Line May Ex- ' tend to Xorthvrest. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.Wash ington. May 12. John A. Jordan, en gineer officer of the air mail service, has left for the west to make a sur vey of possible air mail routes be tween all of the large cities. On the way to the coast he is examining the landing fields and deciding the stops on the New York-San Francisco route soon to be established. Second As sistant Postmaster General Prager already is on the coast to remain until a thorough examination of the possibilities of air service in the west and northwest have been determined. Very extensive planning is going on for the air mail service that is soon to connect the Atlantic with the Pacific The postoffice department said Tuesday: . "When the New York-San Francisco route starts, however", the air mail, which will leave New York at day break, will be in Omaha that same day before sunset. Mail leaving New York Monday morning will arrive in San Francisco by 9 o'clock Wednes day morning. The best schedule that can be made by train would be tak ing mail leaving New York at 8:40 P. M. and delivering it in San Fran cisco at 12:30 P. M. on the fourth day. The railway mail service can accomplish this only if they make the transcontinental connection at Chicago, and this connection is missed whenever the train is as much as an hour late. "On the average the train leaving New York at 8:40 P. M. misses this connection 40 per cent of the time, and the mail takes 24 hours longer to get to San Francisco. During the month of January, 1920, the 8:40 train of New York missed this transcon tinental connection out of Chicago 100 per cent of the time. "The air mail can be 12 hours be hind its schedule from New York to San Francisco and still beat the train mail into the Golden Gate city by 20 hours if the train connection is made at Chicago and by 44 hours if that connection is missed."

Among the symp toms of this condition are irritability, melancholy, weakness, headaches, nervous indigestion and sleeplessness. A tonic that will increase the quan tify of the blood and give it the dual lties needed by the nerves will restore the entire body to the balance that means health. Mr. A. F. Ballman, a bank teller. who lives at No. 021 Kuclid avenue, J.os Angeles, Cal., found the right tonic for a condition bordering on r.ervous exhaustion and he strongly recommends it to others. "I had a nervous breakdown several years ago," says Mr. Ballman, "and 1 never fully recovered. I was irrita ble and nervous and suffered from frequent headaches that were very revere and sometimes of long dura tion. My sleep was broken and u restful. "One day T read an advertisement shout Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in a newspaper and I was so interested that I procured a box and began the treatment. There was an improve ment after I had taken half a box Gradually my nerves regained their strength, the headaches became less severe and less frequent, and now I sleep soundly and feci better than I have in a long time. I strongly rec ommend i.r. Williams' Pink Pills to those in need of a tonic. " Your own druggist can supply you with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills or they . -will be sent by mail, postpaid, on re ceipt of price, 60 cents per box.

"Everybody is coming to Portland this year to share the joys incident to the Imperial Council session of the Shrine,'.' said J. O.

"Every place I stopped I met many Shriners, and all of them want to come and most of them are coming. ir they can get train accommoda tions," continued Mr. Bailey. "That seems to be the only trouble, for with the publicity given and the talks of Frank Branch Riley the wonders of Portland and Oregon have been noised abroad and every one seems anxious to see if what we say is, or could pos sibly be, true."
