In the present great struggle on the Somme the cavalry of both the British and Freneh have had thefr long awaited opportunity 10 show ihelr

tried to drive a wedge through near Noyon. The men on horseback were rushed to the front and succeeded in holding the Germans until
the infantry relieved them- and once more established communication with the British forces.

versity library, was accepted by the
board of regents when they met In an
adjourned meeting here tonight.
Miss Upleger has been charged with

ica but said she would resign rather
than cause any comment against the
university. She handed in her reslgna
tion Friday shortly before the student
council passed a resolution asking that
all charges against her be looked into
and proper action taken.
Aa another action of the regents to
day, a resolution calling for a 10 per
cent increase in salary of all faculty
members receiving lesa than $2500

ing $2500 will not have their salaries

who has been speaking in the Interest
of the third Liberty loan, returned t
Camp Lewis Saturday. Colonel Jordan
has done some splendid work for the
loan, quite in keeping with his entlra
military career.
Colonel Jordan entered the service In
May. 1891. as a member of Company Ii,
Second Oregon volunteers. lie was
commlimloned in the regular army and
spent three terms in the Philippines, lie
also saw one year's service on the bor

major In July of last year. In August
he was raised to a lieutenant colonel of
the National army and assigned to the
162d Infantry.
"I am descended from army people.
said Colonel Jordan In a recent inter
view, "my father havipg served through
the Civil war and retiring as colonel In
1892. His ancestors fought In every war
our country has had. My mother's father.
John Adair, came to the Pacific coast

He was a son of General John Adair,

"It Is estimated that one ton of food
waste will feed 100 head of hogs per
day and produce by government statis
tics 80 pounds of fat. It Is estimated
that under the new system there would
be from 40 to 60 tons per day., or enough
to feed 4000 hogs. At a time like this
when the government through the food
admtnlHtratlon states that the world is
facing a food famine and is asking
everyone to do as much as possible to
. conserve fats, which Is one of the most
Important of the foods, no' patriotic per
son with any civic pride would at a

which would be of such benefit to all,

The per capita loss from fire during
the first four months of the present
fiscal year is 19 cents compared to 38,
cents for the same period of time in 1917.
The reduction in fire loss is best
shown by a comparative statement oi

Since establishment of the arson squad,
under direct command of Captain Rob

secured in the courts. The records show
no convictions for this offense prior to
Salem. Or., April 20. "To see the
other fellow's problem as he sees it
and help him to solve it with due re
gard to others' rights" is the unique
slogan adopted by Percy A. Cupper, can
didate for superintendent of water divi
sion No. 1. He also points out In the
voter's pamphlet that the statute re
quires that the superintendent have
knowledge of the water law and its ad
ministration', the measurement of flow
ing water, seepage and evaporation.
Mr. Cupper has been identified with
the adminstration of the water code
since its enactment in 1909, is an engi
neer and has been admitted to the prac
tice of law. He spent his early life on
an Eastern Oregon ranch and is a grad
uate of the Oregon Agricultural college
and Willamette College of Law.
"Myself an Oregon product," says Mr.
Cupper, "1 believe in Oregon, and as
author of the Oregon drainage district
law, largely responsible for the Irriga
tion district law and first to advocate
the present state rural credit system, I
feel that I have helped to pave the way
for her future development in which I
hope to have a part, though nothing
should nw be done to detract fVom the
nation's business of winning the war."

Sheriff Hnrlbnrt Hai'Made Estimate of
. Approximate Cost, Increased By
Measures Submitted to City Voters.
That the coming primary and special
city election to be held May 17 will cost
approximately $28,000 is the estimate of
Sheriff T. M. Hurlburt.
Counting a day and a night shift of
five clerks and judges for each of the
376 city precincts with $3 for the pay of
each and $1 per day for meals and serv
ing two days each shift, gives a force
of 3760 people to be paid at the rate of
$4 per day. totalling $15,040. or $80 a pre
cinct, the sheriff says.
'The country precincts will not run
so high," Mr. liurlDurt continued,
owing to the fact tnat they will not
have so many votes to count, nor will
they be burdened with votes on city
measures. 1 figure the 37 country pre
cincts at $60 each for tiie. election.
This does not include the cost nor
transportation of printed matter nor
the rent for the booths and polling
places, which will add $10,000 more.
