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. Schools must do some
thing more than make men power
ful: they must build character. Had
the schools of Germany taught char- I
flntpr-hllilHino rather than thn vnltid '
of power, there would have been no
world war."
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. "It was the
only school of higher education in
the west for many years. It devel
oped men and leaders and these men
gave to the United States the great
northwest."
A. F. Flegel, a member of the board
of trustees, presided. A number of
prominent citizens of the state were

HOOD RIVER. Or.. March 20.
(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.
In a letter to his mother, Fred Welch
averred he has proof that the case,
against him was" a "frame-up" an
that he can show that the explosion
on the dredge was accidental. He
averred that he remained silent as
to these facts during the appeal to
the supreme court in the firm belief
that a retrial would be ordered.
He added that he did not explain
the additional facts in his posses- j R
sion, because he "did not want to ff
to patch up their testimony."

HAY SCARCITY INDICATED
Small Quantity Available and Price
- Rises In Haines Valley.
HAINES, Or., March 20. (Special.)
Present indications point to a
scarcity of hay in the Haines valley
before the next crop is harvested and
the price is steadily advancing with
but small quantities available fc
local feeders. From $5 and $6 a ton
for choice, first and second crops of
alfalfa last September, the price has
advanced to $13 and $12. In addition
to the enormous yields of last year,
a greater part of the 1920 crop was
yet in the stack at the close of the
past season.
The extreme weather : conditions
throughout the winter months have
caused feeders to draw heavily upon
their stocks until there is a possibil
ity that the supply of hay will not
meet the.'demandE.

Kellogg 's Bran, eooked and krnm
bled, will give you permanent relief
from constipation if it is eaten regu
larly. Every member of "your family
should eat Kellogg 's Bran every day.
The consistent use of bran throughout
the nation would eliminate nine-tenths
of all sickness which can be blamed on
constipation. Children grow strong
and robust through eating Kellogg 'a
Bran regularly. Eat at least two table
spoonfuls daily. Chronic sufferers
should eat as much as necessary.
Physicians have long recognized the
wonderful properties of bran and your
physician will indorse the use. of
I Kellogg 's Bran for constipation. We
guarantee that it will give permanent
relief to the most stubborn esses if it
is used regularly. Results will astound
you 1 You will also find that Kellogg 's J
Bran will elear. pimply complexions
and sweeten disagreeable breaths.
- You should know Kellogg 's Bran as
a nature-food. It is one of the most
delicious cereals you ever ate. Do not .
confuse it with ' remedies ' such as
pills or cathartics which never can and
never will give permanent relief from
constipation. Kellogg 's Bran is na
ture's corrector. It acts as a sweeper,
cleansing and purifying and regulat
ing, whereas pills and cathartics can
give but temporary action at best.
Bran never irritates or makes you
uncomfortable! -
Kellogg 's Bran, eooked and krum
bled, is nsed in thousands of homes ia
many . kinds of foods as well as a
eereal. It makes the best pancakes
you ever ate. Use it in raisin bread,

other enticing- ways. Your grocer has it.
