ment on January 1.
Fostoffiees Will Sell
That a mighty effort Is belne--made
'from Washington to accelerate the giv
ing of war savings stamps as Christmas
presents is evident from a (supplement
ary telegram received at local war sav
ings headquarters this morning from E.
C. Bradley, federal director at Washing
ton of ttie war savings campaign, ad
vising that all postoffices in the coun
try will be authorised in the daily bul
letin to postoffices to sell war stamps in
any amount where they are. to be used
as gifts. 1 V. .
This instructions provide that the pur
chaser of war savings stamps is to file
wlth-4he postmasters the names of those
who are to receive the gifts at the
time of purchase. No recipient of a
savings stamp gift Is permitted to re
ceive more than $1000 in stamps, how
ever. Postmasters are authorised to
supply all purchasers with certificates
and thrift cards. The same instructions
have been wired to all federal reserve
banks.
Agents for the sale of thrift and sav
ings stamps report that stamps are
daily being ' purchased in large amounts
to be given as Christmas presents and
the latest instructions from Washington
are expected greatly to increase sales
for Christmas giving.

Betel, Say Elver Jesters.
The steamer La Center, which usually
plies en the Lewis rtver. bids fair to be
come a noUl or lodging bouse near
Woodland, according to reports reach
ing Portland Thursday night- The La
Center, whUs the Lewis river was at
flood, went far out of the enannel to
dodge some heavy drlfte-lhat were surg
ing downstream oft the current, and
walls dodging ran aground.
When the rtver went back to some
where near Its normal stse the La Cen-
E. 8. Forsstrom lived ' in Portland ter was comfortably located on a mound
when he registered last June under the lot mud. Two other vessels tried to' haul
draft rule. - subsequently moving to 'her off. the reports say., but were un
successful. Kvery. hour-that the river
falls the La Center finds herself further
and further away from the stream, and
rlvermen say that wneo the Lewis river
gets back within Its banks the La Cen
ter will make a first class hotel or
"houseboat" on dry land. '
Her owners are making efforts to get
her rff while there Is still high water,
and if not successful, will build a skid
way under her and haul her to water by
power unless somebody wants to buy
her for a flood-proof home.
Northwest Must Buy
"Its Coal at Home
North Powder. In that removal, he fell
victim to a misunderstanding, with the
result that his nsme was sent to A si sl
ant United States Attorney Rankin as
a "slacker." The feleral authorities
sent a deputy marshal to LaOrande to
take charge, but by the time he got
there, Forsstrom was found duly regis
tered and given a clean bill.
The humiliation of Mr. Forsstrom.
who U an excellent American, was not
relieved by publication of his name,
with that of another. Though the au
thorities, so far as is known, acted in
good faith in the matter. Mr. Forsstrom
feels that an unwarranted stigma has
been cast upon him.
Records of the local exemption board
show that he is registered In precinct
37 H in Portland and his serial number
Is 170.
Assistant United States Attorney
Rankin had wired Sheriff Warnick of
Union county to hold Forsstrom until
he was sent for, and that Investigation
of the charge against him would, be
made. This investigation speedily and
thoroughly cleared him.
