Elmer Lyda, of Gales Creek,
was a city visitor Monday. He
says that the men on the Gales
Creek & Wilson River railway
are getting along with construc
tion finely, and that they live
like lords so far as the eating is
concerned. The labor situation,
however, is not very bright
hiirh wages and scarcity of men
being what the contractors must
bump.
Speaking of scarcity of labor -two
men were looking for some
one to work Saturday morning,
with not a man in sight. The
bean harvest was on with short
age of help, and men were also
wanted on the road3. Twenty
milbs away 5,000 men were idle,
on a strike, but this did no good
as not one of them but were
getting nearly double what men
get for farm and road work, and
eve7 one of the strikers would
turn up his nose at the compen
sation paid here. Such is life in
the "Far West."
The sale Friday of the W. K.
Newell herd of registered Hol
steins at Cloveridge Farm, near
Segher's Station, was well at
tended. The sale was held under
the direction of the new owner
of Cloveridge Farm. Mandius
Olson, of Portland. While there
were many fine animals sold at a
sacrifice, the sale as a whole was
satisfactory, 70 head bringing
$12,000. Thirty cows averaged
$235. The top price. S440. was
paid by the Rev. Mr. Martin, of
Mount Angel, for a beautiful 4-year-old
with a high butter-fat
record. Many of the cattle were
bid in by the dairymen of this
locality, Louis Wilcox, of Scog
gins Valley, paying $1475 for a
bunch of nine heifers and young
cows. Lionel L. Paget, of East
Gaston, purchased three young
heifers for $800.

Adj. -Gen. While Say That Nation Will
Consider Men at Destriers
Adjutant General White, in com
mand of Oregon's National
Guard, and acting as the chief
of the enlistment for the govern
ment, has received notice from
the government that those who
have failed to report when called
by the military board of the var
ious counties will be nominated
as deserters, and a reward of $50
each will be given for their ar
rest and presentation to the
army heads.
This will not apply to those
who were enlisted in the army or
navy when the calls were made,
but it will apply to all others.' It
is supposed that those who were
unable to respond owing to mis
carriage of mails or other insur
mountable reasons, will be sent
at once to mobilization camps
when apprehended. Others will
be sent to some military prison.
The notice to Gen. White reads:
"A person who fails to report
for mili'ary service to tr e Adjutant-General
of the state by the
date specified in the order of the
Adjutant-General to said persons
is a deserter.
"It is highly desirab'e from
every standpoint that an effort
now be made to round up all
persons who are delinquent in
reporting for military service.
"It is thought that if the fact
of reward is given the widest
publicity we shall have a great
f rce of police officers and even
of individuals interested in bring
ing such delinquents under mili
tary control."
Should it develop after the de
serter has been apprehended that
his failure to report was not wil
ful, he N will. 'escape courtmartial
and will be sent to a mobilization
camp. But in any event, the $50
reward will be paid for the de
livery of the man to the Army
authorities.
The War Department orders
on this point are a3 follows:
It, alter such persons are
brought to a military authority,
it appears to the military author
ity that their delinquency is not
wilful, they will be forwarded to
a mobilization camp and their lo
cal board will be given credit.
"If it appears that the delin
quency was wilful, they will be
prosecuted before courtmartial
as deserters. In either case the
reward is payable."
"LIBERTY" ENGINE
The first locomotive constructed
on the Pacific Coast in a quarter
of a century has just had its
maiden trip oyer the Southern
Pacific lines, having hauled part
of the draft contingent from
Sacramento to Oakland and
thence to Roseburg. Ore. In its
first 72 hours of service the new
engine covered 1040 passenger
miles which is considered an ex
ceptionally fine showing. The
locomotive was constructed in
the Southern Pacific Shops at
Sacramento and is of the Pacific
type. Six consolidation engines
for freight service, and three
ten-wheelers are also being built
at Sacramento, the 10 costing
$300,000, and constituting part of
the Southern Pacific's order for
65 new engines. The "Liberty
Engine" as it ha$ been nick
named has a traction pull of
45,470 pounds.

in the Helvetia District, was a
