TITE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND- SEPTEMBER 17, 191G. K ENTIRE GUARD TO SEE BORDER DOTY Units in State Mobilization Camps to Be Sent South L . Within Two Weeks. A OTHERS SUMMONED HOME Secretary Baker's Policy May Be Changed Only by Lack of Funds to Meet Ever-Growlng Ex- 2 pense of Transportation. WASHINGTON, Sept. 16. All Nation al Guard organizations which have been held at state mobilization points since they were mustered into the Federal service are scheduled to start for the Mexican border soon. Officials indi cated today that they probably would go within two weeks. Secretary Baker is personally supervising all Guard movements. He is determined that -every Guard unit undergo border serv ice and training before it is discharged, and intends to use the troops in state camps to relieve those on the border, so that the latter may return home and be mustered out of the Federal service. One thing may alter this policy, though officials now think it will not. That is the lack of funds available for transportation. Although no account of the expenditures incident to the border situation has been made public, reports Indicate that the department practi cally has exhausted its funds and will face a heavy deficit before another appropriation can be secured from Con gress to meet the expenses of the bor der campaign. If the guard movements continue, it will be necessary to have an urgent deficiency appropriation bill put through as soon as Congress meets in December. Exclusive of the North Carolina or ganizations ordered to the border to day, there are 18,000 guardsmen who have been held in their state camps. These are scattered throughout Ala bama, Colorado, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, West Virginia, Wy oming, Minnesota, Michigan, District of Columbia, California and Maryland, witli serai email units in other states.

O'Hara, of Portland, will speak at the regimental services. The services will begin at 3 o'clock and the general public la In vited. The regimental band will play sacred music during the services. A concert will follow. it is apparent that there will be some delay in mustering out, as the neces sary papers have not yet been received. The War Department also has cent word of its intention to have a regular Army physician in attendance to super vise the work, and that the examination is to .be as '"riKid as that for entering the service. This will mean that Companies A and B, which heretofore have been exam inted, will have to be re-examined. Following is the programme that Band Leader Downey has announced lor the concert following the services: "Regimental March"; overture, "Exu berance"! March humoresque, "Farmer Bungtown"; Hawaiian patrol, "Kila wea"; quartet, "Imogene"; selection. "The Prince of Pilsen"; "Trombone Sneeze"; "Star-Spangled Banner." was officially notified of his renomina- tion. Dr. Esther Pohl Lovejoy has re turned to Portland enthusiastic over the prospects for President Wilson's re-election. Her husband, George A. Lovejoy, who was a member of the Democratic dele gation from Oregon tor the St. Louis National convention, was a member of the notification committee, but could not attend, and Dr. Esther Pohl Love joy attended on his proxy. "The National Woman Suffrage con vention represented a tremendous ad vance over any woman suffrage con vention ever held before," said Dr. Lovejoy. Both the Democratic and the Republican parties sent representatives who addressed the convention, and President Wilson spoke before it. "A very impressive thing was the re sponse to the appeal for funds to carry on the work for suffrage. In half an hour more than $S00,000 was raised."

HAWLEY 01 E; TO MAKE CANVASS Hope Held Out That Taxes on Oregon & California Grant Lands Will Be Paid Soon. DISTRICT GRANTS CITED WOMAN DELEGATE IS BACK Dr. Esther Pohl Lovejoy Is Enthu siast for Wilson. After attending the National Ameri can woman suffrage convention held at Atlantic City from September 6 to 10, and the notification meeting on September 2 at which President Wilson SON SUES FATHER'S HEIRS Deed for 50-Acre Tractto Complete Contract Is Sought. ALBANY, Or.. Sept. 16. (Special.) Because his father, Alex Hayes, neg lected giving him a deed for a 50-acre tract of land he gave him before he died suddenly last June, E. S. Hayes, of Halsey, today insituted suit in the State Circuit Court against the Uelrs and administrator of his father's e3'ate to compel performance of the contract for the deed. The defendants are J. L. Hayes and wife. Bertha Hayes, and TTuIdah Hayes, of Halsey, and Hattie Snodgrass and husband, J. M. Snodgrass, and Anna Hopkins and husband, Irvln Hopkins, of Rockford, Minn. J. L. Hayes is ad ministrator of the estate. North Carolinans Go to Border. WASHINGTON. Sept. 16. The North Carolina National Guard was ordered to the border today. Representative Spoke at Oregoa City Republican t Banquet Last Night and Will Attend Pub lic Gatherings In District. SALEM, Or.. Sept. 16. (Special.) Willis C Hawley, Representative In Congress, from tne First District, re turned to his home in Salem today from Washington, D. C. and estab lished headquarters preparatory to con ducting his campaign for re-election. Mr. Hawley said that after the close of Congress he remained in Washing ton for a few days to take up the mat ter of the payment to the land-grant counties of the accrued taxes due them under the terms of the law enacted dur ing the last session providing for the manner of disposing of the unsold Ore gon & California Railroad grant lands. 'I have been urging that these ac crued taxes be paid as soon as possi ble." said Mr. Hawley, "and that the classification of the lands be expedited so that they may be opened for de velopment and use, and their value re stored to the tax rolls. The depart ment assures me that the classifying of the lands is proceeding and that ar rangements are being made to pay the accrued taxes at an early date." Legislation Is Criticised. The legislation for the disposal of the unsold grant lands is characterized by Mr. Hawley as unsatisfactory in many respects and unfair to Oregon, the land-grant counties and to the peo ple who wish to make their homes on the lands. In the matter of river and harbor improvements, Mr. Hawley pointed out that every dollar recommended by the United States Engineers for work in the First District was approved by Congress. "This sum totaled $1,696,000," con tinued Mr. Hawley, "and is divided among nine different projects in the district. I also obtained authorization for several important surveys for pro posed future Improvements. In addi tion to appropriations for river and harbor work, I obtained special appro priations in other measures amounting to more than $400,000. The sum of $50,000 to continue road construction work in the Crater Lake National Park was included in this amount." Naval Base Predicted. - Although the fight for the establish ment of a naval base at the mouth of the Columbia River failed at the last session of Congress, Mr. Hawley said that much progress was made in bring- ' ing the merits of the proposition be fore Congress, so that he believes the base ultimately will be established. Representative Hawley spoke at the banquet of Republicans of Clackamas County at Oregon City tonight. Sep tember 20 he will visit the Clackamas County Fair at Canby; September 21. the Polk County Fair at Dallas, and September 22 he will speak to the mem bers of the Portland Realty Board at their luncheon. The following day Mr. Hawley will attend the Washington County Fair at Forest Grove. He is also scheduled to speak to the women members of the Marion County Repub lican Study Club on September 25. He will be in Salem throughout the week of the Oregon State Fair. played by the American . commission ers. PoUtlcs Play Part. A further strong card is the possl bility of the election of Mr. Hughes. Common sense is teaching the Mexican agents that it is desirable to sign the agreement before the Presidential elec tion. Prolongation of the negotiations undoubtedly would Irritate Mr. Wilson and cause him to instruct his repre sentatives to present an ultimatum. The Mexicans know that it Is the de sire of the President to have an agree ment, certainly by the middle of Octo ber, that he may point to it as the solution of the problem be has been dealing with since he entered the White House and as evidence of the wisdom of ' the policy of "watchful waiting" he has pursued. It is further of interest to note that the Mexicans appreciate it is to their interest for Mr. Wilson to be elected, and as far as they can they are dis posed to aid him.

Sept. 16. (Special.) When news reached the campus late today that the body of Leland Hendricks had been found in the Willamette River at Salem the student body was plunged in sor row.

WILSON LIKELY TO INSIST ("Continued From First Pape. the withdrawal of American troops from their territory.

BAKER, Or.. Sept.' 16. (Special.) That Baker County will have the big gest wheat and barley crop in its his tory is indicated by first reports from growers, which say that the yield per acre Is the greatest ever known.

Oats have not been touched by threshers, but It is expected the yield also will break records. Shipping of wheat and barley has begun, all being consigned to the East to fill war con tracts made with local agents earlier in the season. Colonel Davis Transferred. WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.

They often suffer from twinges of rheumatism or lumbago, sometimes from gout, swollen hands or feet. Such people are not always able to exercise sufficiently in the outdoor air or drink enough pure water tn order to sweat freely and excrete Impurities through the skin. Dr. Pierce has conducted experiments and thoroughly tested a uric acid solvent at his Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, which he Is convinced Is many times more potent than llthla this he named "Anurlc." It can be had at almost all drug stores by simply asking; for Dr. Pierce's Anurlc for kidneys or backache. It will overcome such condi tions as rheumatism, dropsical swellings, cold extremities, scalding and burning urine and sleeplessness due to constsnt need of getting out of bed at night. Our grandmothers hav told our mothers and our mothers have in turn Instructed us that In case of sickness resort to Dr. Pierce's dependable household prescriptions. These medicines as put up for sale by druggists hav never been recommended as "cure-alli." but only as superior remedies for certain common and easily recognized diseases.
