TAHOE IN BAD CONDITION
Atlr-mpt to Get Vessel Off Sandbar
Fails: May Besort to Dredginn.
Aberdeen, Wash., June 26. The
steamer Tahoe, on a mud bank in the
lower harbor, lies in a position- from
which it-will be difficult to extricate
her. The Tahoe is on a sand spit several
feet outside the channel. At high tide
last night the Harbor Queen attempted
to pull the Tahoe off but failed. Dredging-
to the main channel may have to be
resorted to to get the Tahoe into deep

Similar to Malady
Of the Middle Ages
Astonishing evidence ia at hand to
show that ; the "flu" epidemic was
caused by j the same microbe which
swept ancient Europe with the plague
and spread the historic "black death"
in the Middle Ages.
This evidence 1s presented by

recently inaugurated the new service.
The two trips thus far made by me
Urahamona have been successful from
a freight point of view. Kxtensive use
of the water of the Snake by irrigation
Ists Is diverting much of the water to
the detriment of navigation, it is said.
Temporary repairs are being made
to the steamer Grahamona, which
struck a rock in the Snake river Mon
day. The steamer will, when these
repairs are made, proceed on her way
down the river to Portland, where
permanent repairs will be effected. The
steamer stove a hole in her bow by
striking a submerged rock, as result
of which the boat was beached to pre
vent her from sinking.

Industrial Commission and State
Bank Bills Being Voted on
From Referendum, i
Fargo, N. D., June 26. KU. P.) Two
vital points of the national non-partisan
league program in North Dakota were
on trial at the polls today.
They are the state industrial com

Along with five other measures passed
by the first non-partisan league con
trolled legislature in the country, these
two were attacked by the independent
voters association, and today's refer
endum resulted. '
"The entire non-partisan league pro
gram hinges on the industrial commis
sion and the state bank." declared Oli
ver S. Morris, secretary of the industrial
commission and leader of the league,
today..
"The five other bills are good non
partisan measures. iut they are not at
all Important compared with the indus
trial and banking measures. Our whole
program might fail if these two meas
ures are defeated."
The five bills beside the banking and
industrial commission bills attacked
are: The printing law, giving people in
each county the right to pick the official
newspaper ; the educational law. creat
ing a board of five to have jurisdiction
over schools, penal and corrective insti
tutions ; the judicial redistricting, immi
gration and tax commission bills.

WORK ON FIRST FARM
UNIT IS UNDER WAY
, "; NEAR
Ground Staked Out and Build
ings Are . Under Actual Con
struction, Says Profr Scudder.
Work on the first farm unit planned by
the Oregon land settlement commission
is under way at a site two miles south
of Independence. The ground has been
staked out and the buildings are under
actual construction, says Professor 1L
D. . Scudder of the Oregon Agricultural
college.
Mr. Scudder Is a member of the land
settlement commission and originated
tho plans for the farm settlement, units.
This first location will test out the pos
sibilities for similar settlement In the
Willamette valley, and the commission Is
now looking for sites tn Southern and
.Eastern Oregon and the Coast district.
In all four locations, scattered in all
sections of the state,. Mr. Scudder, says.
It is the purpose to choose typical ground
so that the unit plan may be thoroughly
tried out The commission hope's to have
all four locations under way by fall.
With the funds tho commission has
under the 950,000 appropriation of the
last legislature, it is thought probable
that 10 farm nnits can be started this
year. Many applicants have entered
their names for a farm unit, and- in
every case Mr. Scudder says they are
practical men who have been won to the
unit platf by the layout the commission
has decided upon. '
The Willamette valley site, upon which
building operation is already under -way,
has already been cropped. Members of
the present commission obtained option
on this land last fall in anticipation of
state aid, and this unit will be ready to
give a practical - demonstration of ' the
worth of the unit plan by this fall.

On Highway Board
Leads to Question
Salem, June 2. The announcement
that William L. Thompson of Pendleton

circles as to his status as a member' of

son was reappointed by Governor Olcott
April 1 for a three year term, which
will not expire until March 21, 1922.
The law, however, provides that the
commission shall be composed of three
members, one from each congressional
district. Thompson's membership on the
commission, therefore, hinges on the
question of his residence, which Gov
