BOND DRIVE MUST
HAVE HEW IMPETUS
Tardiness of Country's Re
sponse to Second Loan
Call Causes Concern.
GREATER EFFORTS URGED
Campaign of Dimensions Hitherto
Cnapproaclied to He Made Dur
ing the Two AVeeks Remain
ing for Subscriptions.
WASHI.VOTO.V. Oct. 13. The tardi
ness of the country in. responding: to
the second liberty loan, is causing deep
concern to officials here. President
Wilson and his Cabinet are -watching
the campaign with great interest.
With half of the campaign gone,
Treasury officials estimated tonight
that not more than $600,000,000 had
been -subscribed and they considered
this estimate liberal. It has become ap
arent to officials that a new and tre-iy-i
'mendous impetus must be given to the
campaign if the subscription is to ap
proximate the $5,000,000,000 hoped for.
The whole weiprht of the Adminis
tration is to be thrown into the bal
ance for the rest of the campaign,
and a drive of dimensions unap
proached heretofore is to be made dur
lr.gr the two weeks that remain before
the closing of the subscription books.
New Plans to Be Adopted.
A new factor, calculated to hearten
the host of workers and to galvanize
the country into a realization that the
most strenuous efforts must be made
1f the big drive is to be consummated
successfully, will be introduced into
the campaign, probably ' within 24
hours.
Notwithstanding the splendid recep
tions given Secretary McAdoo in the
West, the efforts of thousands of work
ers and the most highly organized pub
licity campaign ever known in the
country, the daily average of subscrip
tions has fallen far below what offi
cials had hoped for. The time has come,
officials feel, when the people of the
country must be made to realize, in a
manner that leaves no doubt, that they
must subscribe without further delay
to the full limit of their means.
Officials Are t nltrd.
From President Wilson down, offi
cials are understood to be united in
this belief. The campaign must be
given new impetus at once, it is felt,
and steps to give the impetus will be
taken without delay.
The ttiOO.000,000 estimate of the
Treasury takes into consideration all
the "optimistic unofficial" estimates
from the various reserve districts, and
that sum is only 12 per cent of the
$5,000,000,000 desired.
This would leave $4,400,000,000 to be
raised within the next 12 working days,
an average of $367,000,000 a day, if the
$5. 000, 000, 000 goal is to be attained, and
$2,400,000,000. an average of $200,000,000
a day, if only the minimum of $3,000,
000.000 is subscribed.
"Neither the average dailj- minimum
nor maximum quotas for the second lib
erty bond sale, set at the beginning of
the campaign by Secretary McAdoo."
the Treasury announcement reads, "had
been attained tonight, when the first
half of the great drive came to a close."
Unofficial estimates of subscriptions
from five of the 12 reserve banks
showed a total of $523,000,000 sub
scribed. BLACK ROCK CAMP OPENS
Lumber Operations Resumed After
Forest Fire Damage Is Repaired.
DALLAS. Or., Oct. 13. (Special.)
The big Bladerree logging camp of the
W'illamette Valley Lumber Company at
Black Rock began operations this week
after being closed for about two
months, owing to part of its material
being destroyed by forest fires last
Summer.
The bridges on the logging road
have all been repaired and work of get
ting out an order of large timbers to
be sawed at the plant in Dallas for
structural work in Japan Is progress
ing rapidly. Besides the loss of several
bridges during the forest fires, the
company had several donkey engines
badly damaged and a number of build
ings at the camp burned, the loss In
money being $50,000.
HIGHER RATES TO BE ASKED
(Continued From First Pase.)
renewal at any time the necessity for
any advance In rates could be shown.
.At the same time the Commission
granted Eastern roads, hardest hit of
all by the car shortage and congestion
of last Winter, advances in class rates
which the railroads estimate approxi
mate 5 per cent.
Since the Commission's dismissal of
the 15 per cent case, statistics com
piled by the Commission show that the
railroads have fully recovered from
their setback of last Winter, due to
the car shortage and congestion. How
ever, another difficulty has arisen in
rapidly mounting operating expenses.
Operating Kxnennen Incremird.
Supplies of eevry sort have risen,
the reads executives assert, in some
cases more than 25 per cent within the
last few months. Labor is demanding
wages never paid before, it is contend
ed, with further increases in prospect.
These have to be met. it is said, un
less the roads are to lose valuable men
who are offered more in other trades.

BROKE HIMSELF OF
SMOKING CIGARETTES
St. I.oui Man Broke Hlratielf of
Smoking: Cigarettes and Chewing
by a Simple Home Remedy.
Harry Riska, a well-known resident
living at 2016 South Eleventh street,
broke himself of the cigarette habit
and chewing with a simple recipe that
he mixed at home. In reply to the
question as to what he used, he made
the following statement: "I used a
simple recipe which I mixed at home
and which is as follows: To three
ounces of water add 20 grains of
Muriate of Ammonia, a small box of
Varlex Compound and 10 grains of
Pepsin. I took a teaspoonful three
times a day. Any druggist can mix
it for you at very little cost.
This recipe can be taken yourself
or given secretly to another in "coffee,
tea or milk or in food, as it has no
taste, color or smell and is perfectly
harmless." Adv.
erators foe the entire country, made
Public today by the Commission, with
all roads reporting except eight, shows
that gross operating receipts increased
nearly $37,000,000 over August, 1916,
but that net revenue from operation,
despite this heavy increase about 12
er cent fell mors than $4,000,000 be-
icw the figures of a year ago. While
gross revenues touched trie nignest
level ever recorded in any August, ex

THREE PRISONERS GONE
JAIli RRKAK OCCURS AT
FRIDAY IMGiHT.
Two of Men Who EMCnprd Were Await
inK Trial on Charge of Pass
ing Forged Cheeks.
BAKER. Or., Oct. 13. (Special.)
Officials in five counties are looking for
three men who escaped from the Baker
County jail last night and who are still
at large.
Ray Wood is responsible for the
break, according to three prisoners who
remained in the jail. A deputy left the
cage door unlocked after taking J. P.
Stott, Wood's accomplice in alleged
forgery of checks, to answer the tele
phone.
While the deputy was gone. Wood
crept out of the cage and crawled to
its top, hiding there until Stott was
returned and the deputy left.
Although out of the cage. Wood still
was a prisoner upon tne third tloor or
the courthouse until he found a window
from which one of the bars had been
removed. From this he lowered him
self to the Jury room on the second
floor, gained access to the elevator and
returned in it again to the jail. Here
he secured the key to the cell and liber
ated Stott and Charles Potter, who is
awaiting trial on a charge of snatching
a purse from a woman.
Deputy George Herbert discovered
the escape late in the evening and noti
fied Sheriff Anderson, who was in Pine
Valley.

OREGON ADVISES TEXAS
Secretary Olcott Praises General
Fund Law of 19 15.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 13. (Special.)
Secretary of State Olcott today advises
D. P. Tooney, editor of the Dallas
(Tex.) News, that the general fund law
of 1915 is a success in Oregon.
This law makes all money except
trust funds available for payment of
warrants issued for general govern
ment expenses, so that no available
state money is lying idle with the
state paying interest at the same time
on warrants drawn on other funds.
"A big saving has been made to the
state in annual interest charges," Sec
retary Olcott writes.
Texas is contemplating changes
its auditing system.

WITH THE 1621) RKCHMEXT, Camp
Greene, Charlotte, N. C. Oct. 13. (Spe
crfil.) That part of the Third District
of Columbia regiment that was trans
ferred to the 132d Regiment moved into
camp 7 today and was given 'a hearty
welcome by Colonel John L. May. He
told the officers and- men briefly that
he was glad to have them in the regi
ment and said that all he asked of them
was that, in addition to being soldiers,
they all feel as proud of the 162d Regi
ment as he was. The little talk of wel
come made an instant hit with the new
men. for undoubtedly they had specu
lated on the reception they were going
to receive in the Third Oregon.
In more than one way the 162d Regi
ment is to be congratulated, for nearly
all of the Washington soldiers are men
of years of military training, some of
them having been in the National Guard
for as many as 15 and 17 years, and all
of them have been out since June, 1916.
After the soldiers came back from the
Mexican, border they were only mus
tered out about nine days when they
were called out again and have been
doing guard duty ever since.
The companies taken over by the 162d
were E, F, G and H. In order to main
tain the esprit de corps. Colonel May
distributed them so that they were as
signed to the same letter company in
162. Men who belonged to Company
K in the Third District of Columbia,
were assigned to Company K of the
162d. and so on. The officers were as
signed as follows:

People at home must not confuse the
sanitary and moral conditions of Camp
Greene with those that once existed
in Charlotte. Since the first sanitary
meeting held in Charlotte, October 2,
the townspeople are complying in every
possible way with the demands of the
Army sanitary officers, who spoke at
the meeting and prescribed how to cor
rect conditions. The sick call reports
show that less than 1!4 . per cent of
the men in camp are responding to
morning sick call. The health figures
jumped this week, due to slight colds.
Nearly all such cases were marked
"light duty," meaning that the men
were not sent to the hospital. Of all
other diseases in camp, there is less
than a half of 1 per cent. This in it
self is a remarkable showing and
shows the result of the daily sanitary
lectures the men are getting along with
their other instructions.
'Regiment KeepriVp Reeord.
This regiment is still keeping up its
reputation of being first. Tonight the
162d Regiment, the new men just tak
en over not included, leads the forty
first division in the liberty loan sub
scription, with $51,950, with still more
subscriptions coming in and the or
ganizations which were left at home
yet to be heard from. This week all
the soldiers in camp listened to talks
about the new loan. A system was
worked out by which each company
commander merely announced that he
would be in the mess shed after re
treat. Contrary to a report which had
gotten out. no enlisted man was forced
to buy a liberty bond, but the soldiers
were quick to see a chance to save
their money and at the same time have
their savings earning 4 per cent.
Those of the old Third Oregon could
hardly wait until time for them to sub
scribe, with the result that tonight Ore
gon heads the list of the Camp Greene
subscriptions. The figures were pre
pared by Sergeant-Major John May, and
as soon as the last list was turned in.
Captain William R. Logus, regimental
adjutant, took the list by companies to
Major Lemuel L. Bolles, at division
headquarters. When Major Bolles read
the figures (he's from Seattle), he said:
'Great. It takes the men rrom tne
West to do things."
Good and generous Uncle Sam was
paymaster today and distributed $450,-
000 among the enlisted men at camp.
Now the First Oregon squadron, which
was the 148th Field Artillery, will have
money" to buy red hat cords, the yellow
hat cords to remain in moth balls until
the war is over.

cording to a bulletin issued today by
f'ean Thomas Forsythe Hunt, of the
I'niversity of California college of ag
riculture. The greater the consumption of wool
en goods. Dean Hunt points out. the
higher is the price of wool. A rise in
the price of wool holds back the mar
keting of mutton. This causes an in
creased demand for other meats. To
produce other meats holds up the price
of Indian corn, oats and barley, and
thifs tends to reduce the production of
