The purpose of the- registration of

, mrk.t ln the P4 It-H stated by
Franklin T. Griffith, head of the regls
, tratlon movement in Oregon, hundreds
of men have been Induced to cpme to
. Portland from other sections by rumors
of a sbortage of labor In the shipyards.
Often they ; have been unable to find
employment f any kind and have been
f put to the expense of returning to their
homes. There has also been a tendency
toward competition for labor between
has resulted In men leaving; one yard
wora in anotner wun consequent de-
imoralisatlon of working- forces Men
' t have also left emolovmant in othr itn
to work -In the yards at a time when

All these evils will be done away with

Griffith.
The registration of shipyard labor Is
i a nation-wide novtmint unrfr tti At.

Government officials emphasize the

. In fact that is Just what Is not wanted.

Flour Substitutes
Are Lacking in Bend
Shortage; Makes Keeessary Modifica
tion . of Fnrehaie Order, permitting
Sale of White Flosr Alone.
Bend, Or., Feb. 0. As a '. result of
a food survey here to determine the
amount of flour substitute available
it has developed that there is not a
sufficient quantity of , other grains
to satisfy the requirement ' that 17
pounds of substitute shall be purchased
with every 60 pounds of white flour.
H. C. Hartranft, chairman of the local
district, appealed for some relaxation
of the order with the result that modi
fications have been made.
Under the new ruling granted, per
sons who are unable . to procure the
substitute may buy flour straight - pro
vided they secure a permit from the
local chairman. It la claimed that the
few flour substitutes available are so
high that their purchase is entirely
Impractical. Local grocers have ex
perienced trouble in getting a suffi
cient quantity of the substitutes from
the wholesale houses.

REPLY OF HOLMAN TO
THE STATEMENTS OF
ROADMASTER YEON
Commissioner Says .Offers' Have
Been Made to Do Work at
Less Cost to County.
Rufus Holman, chairman of the board
Lof. county commissioners, has prepared
an extended answer to the recent com
municatlon ad&ressed to the board by
Roadmaster John B. ' Teon. In which
Mr. Teon t reviewed the dlffernces of
opinion existing- between bis depart
ment and Mr. Holman.
Mr. : Holman - In his communication,
which la of extended length, .'in turn
reviews the controversy - between . Mr.
Teon and himself, which began with
the construction of. the .Vista House
and the Initial appropriation of 112.000
lor that purpose. He charges that Mr.
Teon, in asking for the first appro
priation stated that the county would
never be called upon for another cent"
but that In spite of this promise the
cost of the structure has been increased
to more than f 65,000. v- ..
: - Cost of Administration Cited
Mr. Holman charges v that, although
Mr. Teon draws no salary for his work
as roadmaster, still his administration
of the road work last year amounted
to seven per cent of his construction
costs, without taking into consideration
Oe 6000 annual expenses of the county
surveyor's office. - He has received an
offer, Mr. Holman says, to do the same
work at a cost of five per ,cent of
the construction cost, the offer having
been made by Harrington, Howard dc
Ash, the engineers in .charge of " the
construction of the, Interstate bridge.
Photographs have been taken by Mr.
Holman showing various pieces of road
construction apparatus, such as -wagons.
scrapers, wneel barrows ana water
carts, standing In the open. The pic
tures were taken during the , recent
snowstorm and show the . equipment
standing along the,' roadside, covered
with snow and entirely unprotected
from the elements, and are Incorporated
In the statement to show lack of care
on the part of the road master's de
partment in the conservation of road
building equipment owned by the
county. .
Holman Defines Responsibility
T believe," Mr. Holman says in con
cluding his statement, "that there Is
of necessity an inseparable relation
between the board of county commis
sioners and the conduct of any of the
departments under their jurisdiction
and that the heads of departments are
answerable to the county commission
