STATE BOND ISSUE
IF SI.DDQ.OOQ SOLD
Lumbermens Trust Company
Buyer at 89.09.
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.-

John A. 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." '

FOR NERVOUS AND
IRRITABLE PEOPLE
When the nerves are unstrung it
means that the blood is not supplying
the nervous system with the proper
elements in sufficient quantities to
replace the waste caused by work re
quiring nerve force. 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
