of the "undertaking,

f tlon that the state board no longer has
J anything to do with the flax business,
2.aa the last legislature, at the request
(of the governor, passed a law giving
the governor full authority over the
J penitentiary and Its affairs, except In
the purchase of supplies.
fAs there Is now cash on hand, after
current bills are paid, approximately
to be worked into fiber to clear for
the state approximately 126,000, even
after the $10,000 borrowed when the
flax buslnesa had been plunged Into
the hole by former Manager J. O. Cady,
it is. expected the governor will be
forced to recognize the validity of
Crawford's claim for his bonus.

Plan to Entertain
Soldiers in Homes
Colonel Jones, commandant' at
Vancouver barracks, gave his cor
dial approval this morning to the
plan of having the soldiers at
Vancouver -as Thanksgiving dinner
guests In Portland homes.
"I consider It a. most excellent
project,' he said. "The government
provides the soldiers with plenty
of good food, ' There is bo meed
for them to be. invited out merely
to feed them. But If the doors
of Portland homes are opened - to
them they will get a touch of home
life which will, mean much to
them."
The Thanksgiving dinner plan
was inaugurated by the Progressive
Business Men's club at the sugges
tion of D. J. Sldwell. J. P. Jaeger,
prominent in the work" of the -club,
took up the Idea and received 60
Invitations Monday.
B. F. Boynton, chairman of the
committee on arrangements, re
ceived 140 invitations In two hours
this morning.
Mr. Boynton can be reached by
telephoning A-C131 or Main 2270.

near the primary. These men are go
ing to try to do all the damage pos
sible if Murphy continues his favorit
ism by punishing one man and letting
another go for the same offense. If
a man Is a stool pigeon, he can do
anything and Murphy cater to stool
pigeons.
"Too much favoritism is Murphy's
trouble. He Is trying to make stool
pigeons of the men. Some men he
reprimands for an offense; others he
punishes severely. It must stop. This
man must be released from the hole.
If not the flax mill will be burned up.
You know there are men In here who
will do anything. You take the mat
ter up with the governor. No flax
no Job for you. Remember, tell the
governor that Mike Anderson must b
turned out o the ' ole or the flax
plant goes."

serving a five year prison term at
hard labor, the maximum penalty for
attempts to evade conscription under
the Canadian military service act. A
proclamation issued by the Dominion
government. October IS. made the act
effective after that date and required
that all Canadian citlsens between the
ages of 20 and 84 who are bachelors
or widowers without children, Teport
to Canadian officials for military
service before November 10."
Canadian citlsens residing In . the
United States are not exempt. Captain
J.'W. Carter, in charge of the" British
recruiting station at Third and Oak
streets, is urging that such Canadians
as are in Portland report to him at
ones.
"There are doubtless some men in
Portland subject to conscription who
have not been Informed of the proclamation,-
said Captain Carter. "They
will be given a hearing if they report
at once. But those arrested and con
victed of attempting to evade the law
will be given severe punishment."

Motorists who . purchased - headlight
