CRY OF 'PORK' WITHDRAWN PATTERN IS BEING SOUGHT Clamor Against Measures May Pre , Tent Passage Before Close ' of Session Mr. McAdoo . Join3 in Move to Limit Expense. OSEGOMAN KEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Dec. 16. When the omnibus public building bill is brought up in the House next week, the Hood River ap propriation of $60,000 wiy be retained, along with J25, 000 for St. Johns, $70,000 for Oregon City and $10,000 for a suit able site at Corvallis. Representative Einnott, who last Fall was requested by a delegation of citizens to withdraw the Hood River appropriation on the ground that it was "pork," has since been petitioned by the City Council and Chamber of Commerce of Hood River to have the appropriation retained and he also has received a largely signed peti tion from citizens to the same effect. Among the signers of this latter peti tion were some of the men who two months ago prote.-ted against the ap propriation. "Pork" Cry Survives Csmpalen. Bo great is the outcry against "pork" In Washington mis vvinxer iiia.i mtm is grave danger both the river and har bor bill and the omnibus public build ing bill may fall to pass before the fourth of March. Usually the cry of "pork" is heard only before a cam paign, but this year the cry has sur vived the campaign, and the situation js the more complicated ' because the Secretary of the Treasury has Joined with those who are opposing the publio building bill. There is not the slightest prospect that Congress, in framing the river and harbor bill or in considering the public building bill, will eliminate all ''pork" harbor bill that is to come before the House soon will have in it the same old items that have been attacked and ex posed, and the public building bill, al ready reported by the House commit tee, is loaded down .with appropriations for buildings in towns that have no legitimate claim for buildings. McAdoo Criticises Bill. Secretary McAdoo, criticising the pub lic building bill, has pointed out that It carries appropriations for towns of 2000, 3000 and 4000 that are not legiti mately entitled to public buildings costing anywhere from $50,000 to $150, 000. He personally does not favor such n expenditure of public money, and the fact that public buildings are erect ed under his department is going to bring about embarrassments before the public building bill is disposed of. Viewing the matter from a purely business standpoint. Secretary McAdoo Ja able to def end, himself against at tack. He can show in many instances where the cost of Janitor service, up keep, fuel and light will cost the Gov ernment more in many of these cities - -1 . 1 i nan is now expenueti ior me rcuui Fnd equipment of postoffices; some times the cost of upkeep of new build ings is two and three time3 the present rental which the Government pays.

EASY TO MAKE AXD COSTS IilTTXE Catarrh is such an insidious disease and has become so prevalent during the past few years that its treatment fchould be understood by all. Science has fully proved that Catarrh is a constitutional disease and there fore requires a constitutional treatment. Sprays, inhalers. salves and. nose douches seldom if ever give lasting benefit and often drive the disease fur ther down the air passages and into the lungs. If you have Catarrh or Catarrhal deafness or head noises, go to your druggist and get one ounce of Parmint (Double Strength). Take this home and add to it hi, pint of hot water and 4 ounces of granulated sugar; stir until dissolved, take one tablespoonful four times a day. This "will often bring quick relief from the distressing head-noises, -clogged nostrils should open, breath ing become easy and mucus stop drop ping into the throat. This treatment has a slight tonic action which makes it especially ef fective in cases where the blood has become thin and weak. It is easy to make, tastes pleasant and costs little. Kvery person who wishes to be free from this destructive disease should prlve this treatment a trial. Adv. Superfluous Hair.

It is hunting for a state wide prohibition law that will prohibit. When one is found, it will be Incorpor ated into the Nebraska laws by the State Legislature. No half-way prohibition law will suf fice the Nebraska prohibitionists. "Dry" members of the State Legislature are now investigating the prohibition laws of other states in their search for statutes- that will actually prohibit and if they are found the new Nebraska law, which will be enacted as soon as the Legislature convenes in January, will be patterned after it. The lawmakers are determined to make the law so stringent that liquor will be prevented from entering the state, if it be pos sible to keep it out. Governor and Legislature "Wet." Nebraska was one of the four West ern states to go dry at the November election. But while the "dry" amend ment passed by a good majority, a wet" legislature and a "wet" Governor were ejected. But the Legislature, un der the law, must obey the initiative vote and enact a stringent prohibition law must make It a part of the con stitution; in fact, Governor-Elect Neville has let it b know that he will enforce the "driest" law that can be placed on the books. , The Iowa brand of prohibition will not suit the Nebraska "drys." Omaha and other Nebraska cities along the Missouri River have seen how easv it for the Iowans to get around their! strict laws and have liquor ordered by telephone and telegraph delivered by special messenger, or by express, the same day it is ordered. They have seen two or three carloads of drinks sent into Des Moines every day. They know that In Sioux City a case can be ordered by telephone and delivered 4n half an hour from somewhere, they know not where. y Colorado Law Will Not Suit. Nor will the Colorado prohibition laws be made a pattern for the Ne braska law. The "drys" who keep their eyes open have seen the big business in liquors carried on by Nebraska with Denver and other Colorado cities since that state went dry a year ago, and they know that the Colorado laws, while stringent, do not actually keep liquor out of that state. Nebraska wants something stronger than the Col orado prohibition laws. North Dakota s prohibition laws, also. are not looked upon with favor by the Nebraska prohibitionists. A short investigation in that direction devel oped the fact that North Dakota uses St. Paul, Minneapolis. Milwaukee and Chicago as "outfitting" points, and that liquor flows into that state from those four, and other cities. The Nebraska Legislature will not go into the merits of prohibition at all. The only phase of the question that will be discussed will be the wording of the amendment which will be added to the constitution. Under the initia tive vote the manufacture and sale must be prohibited "forever." and the Nebraska legislators are seeking a law that will carry out this command. To that end they will Investigate the prac. tical working of the different state laws on prohibition. r 3 is 1 a 5 PACKERS PAY FINES COMPROMISH IS MISSOCItl REACHED CASES. 6274 CHILDREN IN BAKER School Census Shows City Has 243 7.
