TTITC: -MORNING OREGONTAN. TUESDAY, MARCH 21, 1923 13 JAIL THREAT NUDE. TO COHISSIERS Repair County Hospital or Go to Prison, Edict. WARNING IS REITERATED T service from United States depart I merit of agriculture to the- interior department. A bill providing for the transfer is pending in congress. The wool growers assert that the forest service is more efficient and meets the requirements of the west ern farmers and stockmen better than the bureaus.of the interior de partment now operating in the Klam ath vicinity; that the interior bu reaus fail to respond to the needs of the communities; and that it would be detrimental to the western farmers and stockmen if the efficiency of the forest service were to be "impaired by transfer to another department." The association, in another reso lution, requested that the Diamond lake area be permitted to remain under the jurisdiction of the forest service. Officials Ignore Building Inspec- tor's Order and Vnite to. Face Alternative With Fortitude. Within 30 days Multnomah county commissioners will be looking through the bars of their own jail if H. E. Plummer, city building inspector, makes good the threat contained in a communication read at the meeting of the county officials yesterday. He gives them .exactly one month to make repairs on the ramshackle county hospital building at Second and Hooker streets to conform to the fire ordinance, with jail as the alter native for refusing to do so. All thre? . commissioners 1 were a unit in declaring they had no inten tion of making the -repairs demanded and that they would face the alter native with fortitude. WarnJitK Is Given. Mr. Plummer declared in his com munication that he had warned the commissioners before of the unsafe condition of the building and they had not displayed even the courtesy of conferring with the city officials concerning the situation. To this the commissioners pointed out that they had conferred with Fire Marshal Grenfell concerning the condition of the hospital, admitting that it was A fire trap, but calling attention to the fact that the county is building a million-dollar hospitaj which shonld be ready for partial occupancy by next August, and that the fire mar shal had told them the repairs sug gested were not necessary, in view of the facts. Convict Labor Attacked. John W. Kaste, attorney for private rock crushing interests, waved the ued flag of "convict labor" at the ommissioners' meeting yesterday, declaring that the sale of rock prushed at the county quarry at Kelly butte was illegal as it put private firms in competition with convict labor. Just last week, in response to a complaint, the commis sioners increased the price of rock at Kelly butte to a rate satisfying private dealers. The new attack was referred to D'strict Attorney Myers. D. C. Freeman of the Associated Industries appeared before the com missioners urging .that the contract for sterilization equipment in the county hospital be awarded the Hel ser Machine works of this city rather than to eastern competitors, because of the better service offered in replacements. The commissioners asserted that all else being equal home industry certainly would be favored and even "given the edge." The matter was taken under advise ment as the. bids have not yet come up for award. FORUM MS OB. DONEY WORK OF WILLAMETTE UNI VERSITY IS RECOUNTED. Character-Building Declared to Be Principal Duty of School Re ception Committee Named. If was Willamette university day at the members' forum of the Cham ber of Commerce yesterday noon and Dr. Carl C. Doney, president of the institution, was the principal speaker. "The. greatest enterprise of America is found in the school system," de clared Dr. Doney. "We believe in education because of the testimony of the past.

The speaker traced the early his tory of Willamette university and outlined the work the school was doing In the northwest. "There is not an educational insti tution in the United-States that has contributed as much to the country," continued the speaker.

(Special.) Mrs. Leila Eastman, local matron, has a handsome Angora cat. Neighbors have a canary bird and the cat has 'been seen watching the tiny songster with interest, listen ing to its concerts. '" Mrs. Eastman has a phonograph. The other day she selected a whistling record and took it home. The whistling concert artist imitates a canary bird at one point in the number. Mrs. Eastman put the new record'on the machine and went into -another room. She was startled by the cessation of the whistling concert, a crunching sound and the screech of a startled cat. Investigation showed the Angora kitten badly mixed with the revolv ing disk and sounding apparatus. Cu rious to find out the hidden canary, it had climbed on the phonograph and tampered with the mechanism. Fred Welch, who was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment after i being convicted of blowing up the dredge Beaver and killing four per sons at Willapa Harbor, will leave! tomorrow morning for South Bend, j where an effort will be made to rt- oper. her son's case, notwithstanding I the fact that his conviction has been I sustained by the state supreme court.
