Connsel Blames Weak Mind for De
falcations, but Prosecutor Op
poses Showing of Mercy Prls-
oner Taken to Penitentiary.
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.

COLLEGE SPORTS NOT DEAD
Contests Largely Informal, With
View, to Keeping Men In Trim.
CAMBRIDGE, Dec. 1. (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press.) Al
though there probably will be no offi
cial college sports at either Oxford or
Cambridge until after the war. the men
In college still find time for a certain
amount of athletic amusement, particu
larly at football, soccer, golf and box
ing. There Is scarcely any rowing, al
though the coaches are giving a little
, preliminary training to some of the
veterans.
Rugby football has been given a sort
of official sanction at Cambridge
through, the presentation of a cup.
Uomeitclderei Hani Horse Feed 40
Miles Shortage Die to Gain
In Population.
SILVER LAKE. Or.. 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.
HOOD RIVER RATE IS ISSUE
Railroad Commission to Hear light
ing; Differences Thursday.
HOOD RIVER, Or., Dec. 12. (Spe
cial.) The State Railroad Commission
will meet here Thursday to hear the
complaint of a number of ranchers who
have asked that the rates charged rural
patrons of the two local lighting com
panies be lowered. At the same time,
a petition will be considered from the
companies, which ask an increase in
the rates for residential lighting. While
no formal petition has been filed, the
merchants have made a verbal report
to the Commission to the effect that
the rate charged merchants and places
of business is too high.
The Railroad Commission recently
passed several weeks here checking the
books of the companies and making es
timates of the valuations of the plants.
Their findings will be used in settling
the rates.

submitted to Secretary Daniels as a
candidate for the honor. She is Miss
Jesamine Bushnell, daughter of James
H. Bushnell, residing on a fruit ranch
at Gold Hill, near Medford. Mr.. Bush
nell is believed 'to be a descendant of
the famous Connecticut Admiral, the
inventor of the submarine. -
Miss Bushnell visited in Eugene for
several weeks this Fall with her sister,
Mrs. Stanley Smith. Miss Bushnell Is
the direct descendant of a Connecticut
family of Bushnells, who trace their
antecedents back to David Bushnell,
an Admiral in the Revolutionary War.
The genealogy and family records were
compiled nearly 60 years ago by James
Bushnell, of New Tork, an intimate
friend of James G. Blaine. These rec
ords have been sent for to establish
the record of, the Oregon girl, with
whom Secretary Daniels is in commu
nication. .
