cut up for airplane stock. The award
of contracts for lumber for this mill
to local companies and a general order

men, skilled loggers, many of whom
ere now at the , barracks, were an
nounced. As recently published in The Orego
lilan. Colonel Disque found it neces
sary to supplement the present facil
ities for handling airplane stock by
building- a special plant, but his an
nouncement yesterday carried the final
location of it.
This plant will be built at once and
arrangements have been made to push
Jt through to completion so that in a
Jew weeks it. will be ready to operate.

tween 400 and 500 men, will be oper

Dandruff Soon
. Ruins the Hair
Girls If you want plenty of thick
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin It If you
don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it. then you destroy it entirely.
To do -this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to monten
the scalp and rub it in gently with the
linger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
jour more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
Single sign' and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
find digging of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will look and feel a hundred
times better. You can get liquid arvon
At any drugstore. It is inexpensive and
four ounces is all you will need, no
matter how much dandruff you have.
This simple remedy never fails. Adv.
Saturday Inspection Held nm I'snal, De
spite Hard-Driven Dry Snow
That Stung Like Spent Shot.
WITH THE BEAVER TROOPS, Dec.
8. (Special.) A ;oucn of weather
struck camp this morning. The wind
came out of trie East, causing the
quicksilver to tango between 24 and 28
above until about 11 o'clock, and since
that hour a small blizzard has been
raging.
In spite of the hard-driven dry enow,
which stung like spent birdshot, and
the cold wind, the usual Saturday In
spection was held. When the inspec
tion was over and the companies dis
missed, the men let out a lusty cheer.
Then there was a general camp raid
on the wood piles all over camp, and
like the popping of a machine gun bat
talion in action could be heard the song
of the axes.
All of this goes to prove that the cold
and enow of the Atlantic Coast has no
terrors for the soldiers from the Pa
ciflc Northwest, and is another proof
that the- soldiers are- sturdy and in the
best of physical condition. Were they
not, the rapid climatic changes they
have passed through since leaving home
and the conditions with which they
have been confronted in camps would
have proven disastrous to their health.
Evidence Tending to Indicate That
Defendant Was Victim of Po
litical Conspiracy Ruled
Out by Court.
CORVALLIS. Or.. Dec. 8. (Special.)
The Jury in the Frasier forgery case
returned a verdict of guilty this morn
ing after deliberating more than 18
hours. From the first ballot the ver
dict stood three for acauittal. The
minority votes were won over this
morning.
Mr. Frasier Is out under 11500 bond.
which has been increased to $2500. He
has been given until Monday to furnish
the bond and until Wednesday to per
fect an appeal to the higher courts.
ihe case originated from a check.
which Mr. Frasier claims to have given
ut. i. x. Harris, of i-ugene, for med
ical services in 1909. Dr. Harris sued
Frasier on account, and the latter pre
sented this check in the trial as proof
of payment. The check was for $09.
Dr. Harris denied indorsing the docu
ment. The check appeared regular in
every respect, having the bank "paid"
perforation stamp and rubber cancellation.
An indictment was then brought
against Frasier for forgery. Sixty
Eugene citizens signed an affidavit to
the effect that Frasier could not get
a fair trial in Lane County. It was
charged that he was being persecuted
by politicians whom he had opposed
in the past, beginning with the oppo
sition to Mr. Booth's candidacy for the
United States Senate.-The case was then
transferred to Bentun County. Most
of the testimony was given, by writ
ing experts, more than 100 signature
exhibits being introduced.
Mr. Frasier was not permitted to In
troduce the political conspiracy evi
dence, some of which pertained to tim
ber fraud cases tried by Mr. Heney
several years ago. His wife and two
daughters sat in the courtroom
throughout the trial.
