ENTERPRISE. Or., Dec 12. (Spe cial.) Jay A. French, County Judge of Wallawo County until he resigned a month ago. was sentenced today to eerve from one to five years in the Penitentiary. He left this afternoon for the State Penitentiary at Salem, In charge of Sheriff Marvin, his friend for many years. Sentence was im posed for obtaining money under false pretenses. When French was arraigned two weeks ago he pleaded not guilty to eacn or four indictments which al leged forgery and false pretenses In obtaining public money. He appeared In court again yesterday and pleaded g-uilty to all four indictments. Judge Knowles passed sentence on French this morning. Daniel Boyd and J. A. Burleigh, at torneys for French, presented affi davits to show that French's mind was Impaired and that he did not realize wrongdoing when he forged names to widows' pension petitions and drew the money, or when he presented other vouchers against the county and later cashed the warrants. The attorneys argued that French had already suf fered for his crime and the court was asked to parole him, but the plea for leniency was denied. Attorney Burleigh said the county -would not lose anything through Mr. - French's defalcations, as everything would be paid back today, and that the county had been spared the ex pense of a long and tedious trial. District Attorney Corklns referred to the high regard he and the county had had for French In the past, but said all should stand equally before the law, that the defalcations of French began 18 months ago, had reached more than $2800 and that he could not accept the plea of Insanity. He asked that sentence be imposed under the law. Judge Knowles said he- saw no rea son why the law should not take its course, that French had violated the trust and confidence of the people of the county and bad endeavored to enrich himself by stealing from the public "The parole law Is good," said Judge Knowles, "but can be abused. If a parole were granted in this instance, the purpose of the law would be de feated." Judge Knowles said further that he would not grant a parole if a petition were signed by every man, woman and child In Wallowa County, but in view of the fact that French had pleaded guilty and had prepared to repay the county in full he would recommend his parole by the Governor at the end of one year. BOARD OF CONTROL IS AIM Bill to Handle Institutions Dae in Washington Legislature. OLTMPIA. Washl. Dec 12. (Spe cial.) The adoption of the board of control plan In handling Washington Institutions of higher education, by appointing one board of regents to manage all institutions, will be pro vided in a bill at the coming legisla tive session. Representative Victor Kednlck, of King County, announced here today. The chief advantage for the new plan, which Its sponsor says would save from $400,000 to $500,000 bienni ally, is that it would prevent duplica- tion of courses at the University of Washington and Washington State College. A minor advantage is a sav ing through making purchases for all Institutions together, thus eliminating separate purchasing officers at the institutions. COLUMBIA HIGHWAY FEA ' TUBE OF THE ANNUAL. The composite opinion of world-travelers who have viewed the Columbia Highway is that it is the equal of the most famous European roads and without parallel in America in point of changing scenery, of sweeping river and woodland views and of location and con struction. There is no stretch of public highway any where that has so much wealth of water fall effects. Within a space of ten miles there are no less than half a dozen waterfalls, every one of which is in clear view from the highway. ' Another dis tinctive feature is the new type of bridge construction at Lat ourell Falls. This span is de signed on the principle of steel bridge construction, with trussed arches, but is of concrete with hooped reinforcement. The won ders and beauties of the Colum bia Highway will be graphically presented in The Oregonial An nual, supplemented with a two page drawing and photographio views of the, most interesting and scenic points along the highway. son, an American, as the runner-up. The handicap tournament went to Rls slk, a South African. HAY FAMINE THREATENS FODDER BRINGS BIG PRICES IN XOIITH LAKE COl'XTY.

Dec. 12. (Spe cial.) Eighteen dollars a ton for tim othy, alfalfa or rye hay, $20 a ton for oats and $12 a ton for wild marsh or tule hay. With these prices prevailing Silver Lake starts In the Winter with an unprecedented shortage in fodder. Stockmen predict these prices will dou ble before Spring. The deficiency is not due to a lack of production. In fact, more hay was harvested in Silver Lake Valley last Summer than ever before. The short age is attributed to the rapid gain in population with an attendant Increase in livestock; also to the destruction of crops by rabbits and drouth in the des ert country, and to the threshing of proportionately more grain than usual. Ranchers who threshed their grain are disposing of rye straw at $3 a ton. oat at $6 and wheat at $4. Virtually every new homesteader ar riving in North Lake County brings a team and from one to four cows. These newcomers must depend on the estab lished fctrmers for a supply of fodder and grain the first 12 months after their arrival. Last Summer the home stead movement was heavy, and as a result the amount of livestock that must be fed through the Winter has increased approximately 50 per cent. An average of ten loads of hay a day has crossed the Silver Lake bridge en route to Christmas Lake Valley for the past 30 days. Some of the desert homesteaders are hauling alfalfa from Summer Lake to the Fort Rock country, a distance of more, than 40 miles.
