BIG FEDERAL SUMS
SPENT IN OREGON
Road Programme Alone Gets
$4,122,055.
CRITICS ARE ANSWERED
Mr. McArthur Cites Jjarge Appro
priations for Harbors, Irrigation
and Forest Reserves.
How Oregon has fared in the way
of federal appropriations is explained
by C. N. McArthur, representative
of the third congressional district.
Mr. McArthur has compiled the sta
tistics in answer to the charge made
by opponents in his campaign for
re-election that Oregon is being neg
lected when government aid is given.
Representative McArthur's statement
follows:
"Oregon is not the poor little Cin
derella of the family. We have been
treated with a generous hand by the
federal government. Those who ad
vertise Oregon as a half-starved child
are doing the state a great injustice,
for they seek to create the impres
sion that federal activities are at a
very low ebb here. The official fig
ures at Washington are the best an
swer to these charges.
Roads Get $4,122,055.
"Since the creation of the federal
highway department by the act of
1316, $4,122,055 has been expended
from the federal treasury on the road
programme in Oregon, as compared
with J3.282.684 in California, J3.842.614
in Washington and $2,940,102 in Idaho.
In only eight states of the union has
more federal money been expended
on the good roads programme than
in the state of Oregon, and in ad
dition to this we have a credit of
J1.182, 663.90 under the act of No
vember, 1921.
"In the matter of rivers and har
bors, if we count the Columbia as an
Oregon project, a total of $5,305,464.02
has been appropriated and spent in
this state by the board of army engi
neers since the year 1916. Of this,
considerably over $3,000,000 has been
spent on the harbor and channel of
the Columbia river. The river and
harbors committee of the house has
just authorized a project involving
the widening of the Columbia river
channel, and the ultimate expenditure
of $1,750,000. The same committee
has favorably reported the Coos bay
jetty project, calling for $3,000,000.
Her Initiation i '. x pc ;i d i ( ure Dig.
"In reclamation expenditures Ore
gon has received more money than
the state of California, but less than
Idaho and Washington. This is due
to the !fact that Idaho has a larger
area of land and water available for
irrigation purposes. The appropria
tions for the next fiscal year call
for a new project in Baker county in
lieu of the abandoned project on the
Desohuies. An initial appropriation
of $4itn.00o was authorized. The total
amount of money available for recla
mation in Oregon during the next
fiscal year will be approximately
$4,000,000. It is interesting to know
UNu the Baker county project is one
of the three new projects authorized
by tlt- reclamation service sin,ce..lD16.
"In 'KndVurea for 'roads and
trails and forest reserves. California
stands first with a total of $2,298,000,
Idaho second with $2,130,000, Oregon
third with ; 1.880.000. and Washington
fourth with $1,475,000. In the matter
of expenditures by the bureau of
fisheries. Oregon is only $1000 behind
Washington with all of its Puget
sound fishing areas.
"The only activity in which Ore
gon was served unfavorably is in
the matter oi.' national parks. This is
due to the fact that the Crater Lake
1 park is a comparatively new enter
prise and has not been supported
properly by the people of Oregon.
Other Projects Abend.
"In addition to the funds that are
being spent from yea:- to year on
federal activities in Oregon, there
was an expenditure of $20,344,457 by
the United States spruce corporation.
All of the moneys embraced within
these figures has been spent strictly
In Oregon, not in any other state.
Besides this, the government spent
many millions in Oregon shipyards
during the war. There is the naval
base at Astoria, for which an initial
appropriation of $250,000 has been
made. The government is going
ahead with this project and it will
eventually call for large appropria
tions. "All In all. Oregon has no com
plaint to make becaus.- of the amount
of federal funds expended here dur
ing tho past six or seven years. I
venture to predict that in no other
state of corresponding population
has so much federal money been ex
pended. We have a number of new
projects and enterprises, such as the
Umpqua river jetty, the 35-foot chan
nel from Portland to the sea. and one
or two reclamation projects that
should be adopted within the next
few years.'

In spite of his loixg residence In
America, Asperos failed to become
naturalized. A year ago he returned
I to Greece for a visit and was prompt
ly drafted into the Greek army to
fight the Turks. Army life did not
appeal to him, so, according to the
immigration officials, he paid 8000
franca to be smuggled back into the
United States "y a Greek lino ship.
He was arrested soon after his ar
rival oack in Portland by P.. G. Bon
ham, chief immigration inspector.
Two charges have been lodged against
him, one of entering the port of New
York without a passport, and the
other of failing to pass the immigra
tion inspectors.
He was released on $1000 bail yes
terday pending fTnal disposition of
his case. Immigration officials in
Washington will decide whether he is
to be deported, or whether his wife,
now in Greece, will be allowed to join
him here.

PUGET SOUND BUREAU. Seattle.
Wash., May 8. (Special.)- The man
agement of the Scandinavian -American
bank of Seattle during the later
stages of its operations before its
doors were closed July 1 last year
seems to be slated for investigation
ty the county grand jury impaneled
her ft tndav. FTfirt a nrnuntant have
I been employed for some time in the
interest of certain stockholders of the
defunct bank, and their findings are
said to be of enough importance to
warrant consideration by the grand
jury. Clay Allen, ex-superior court
judge, is attorney for the stockholders,
and it is at Allen's request that the
matter will be brought before the
jury.
The jury, which reported for service
today, was called especially to in
vestigate the county ferry scandal
and the murder of Charles O. Legate,
policeman, but Presiding Judge Hall's
instructions to the jury permit a gen
eral inquiry into the conduct of pub
lic offices and consideration of other
matters. In examination as to their
qualifications for service each juror
was asked this question :
"Are you acquainted with or related
to any counts'" official, member of the
police department or director of the
Scandinavian-American bank, or were
you a depositor in that bank?"
Seven women and ten men comprise
the jury.

Special Patrolman in Toils.
Ray, Herring, proprietor of the
Twelve-Mile House, who was ar
rested by deputy sheriffs during an
early morning raid Sunday and
charged with maintaining a nuisance
was released on $200 bail yesterday
afternoon, following arraignment be
fore District Judge Deich. He pleaded
not guilty, but his case has not been
set for trial.
Robert Berry and H. Leader, pa
trons of the roadhouse, who were
placed under $50 bail each, are being
held as witnesses m the case against
Herrine".
Anthony Tully, owner of the Old
Homestead, on Base Line road, was
arrested yesterday on a complaint
charirins: him with conducting
dance hall without a license, and
was released on $100 bail. W. A.
Leach, a visitor at the resort, who
claimetf ownership of a half pint or
whisky found in the kitchen, has not
been arrested, but probably will bo
culled as a witness.
The arrests were the result of a
raid in furtherance of an announced
campaign by Sheriff Hurlburt and
District Attorney Myers to clean up
conditions among the night resorts
outside the city limits of Portland.
Herriner. who is said to have pur
chased the Twelve-Mile House from
George Brandenburg, was held in the
countv iail in lieu of bail from Sun
day morning until released yesterday.
A humorous aspect to the raid was
thf interference of A. I. Chapman
special patrolman detailed to duty in
Montavilla. who blundered his way
to the doors of the city jail wnen
h drew his revolver on H. Christof
ferson, chief criminal deputy in Sher
iff Hurlburt's office.
In the course of the Twelve-Mile
house raid. Chapman drove rapidly
up to the door, entered, flashed a
special policeman's star and demand
ed to know what it all was abouc.
Deputy Sheriff Christof ferson sug
gested" to him that he was somewhat
out of his jurisdiction and had better
be on his way, when Deputy Sheriff
Wilson, motorcycle officer, entered
and reported that he had trailed
Chapman, who had been speeding at
50 miles an hour.
Chapman finally left for Montavilla,
where he lay in wait for the raiders.
As the sheriff's party drove into Mon
tavilla. Chapman stopped the offi
cers by waving a flashlight and
displaying a revolver, placing them
under arrest for traveling with
bright lights.
"Now you are in my territory." he
is said to have announced.
As Deputy Christof ferson started to
go on, Chapman is said to have poked
the muzzle of his revolver in the dep
uty's stomach ordering him to stop
shifting gears and move on at his
peril. Christofferson took the weapon
away from Chapman as Deputies Bee
man. Wolfe and Schrfmcr dragged the
special officer into the tunncau of
the machine and sat on him. The
party proceeded to the police head
quarters instead of the county jail
and turned Chapman over to Night
Captain West who confiscated the
man's star and gun and ordered him
to report to Chief Jenkins later.
Numerous bottles smel ling of
whisky and a glass half-filled with
liquor were found behind the bar at
the Twelve-Mile house, reported the
deputies. The two patrons had liquor
at their table, it is charged.
At the Old Homestead on Base Line
road dancing was going on when the
officers entered, it is said, though the
h c U r was 1:30. The cou n ty co m mis
si oners have ordered all dancing in
roadhouses to cease at 1 A. M.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr,
Edwards' Olive Tablets Are
a Harmless Substitute.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets the
substitute for calomel are a mild but
sure laxative, and their effect on the
liver Is almost instantaneous, These
little olive-colored tablets are the re
sult of Dr. Edwards' determination
not to treat liver and bowel com
plaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't Injure
the teeth like strong liquids or calo
mel. They take hold of the trouble
and quickly correct it. Why cure the
liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calomel sometfmes plays havoc with
the gums. So do strong liquids. It 1
best not to take calomel. Let Dr. Ed
wards Olive Tablets take Its place.
Headache, "dullness" and that lazy
feeling come from constipation and a
disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets when you feel "logy"
and "heavy." They "clear" clouded
