S, A., of San Franciscoj In charge of the-national guard in, the ninth training: corps area, who is here inspecting- the training camp. A peculiar' feature of the presence of Governor Olcott is that the salute of 17 guns, to which he would be entitled in Oregon as head of the guard organi zation, could not be accorded here as the chief executive is without the con fines of his state. f Governor Olcott. and party" arrived at 7 :30 o'clock Friday evening, having trav eled by automobile from Fort Steven. The governor was accompanied by Mrs. Olcott and Colonel and Mrs. George A. White and others. They were met by General K- N.

BY POLICEMAN To check possible complications Albert Reynolds who Friday night tried to hold up patrons of the Con solidated Cpffee club, 356 Ankeny street, probably will be removed to day to a general hospital .from the city emergency hospital, " where a bullet wound in the abdomen is be ing treated.' '-.. When Patrolman Traver saw Reynolds holding 25 men at bay about midnight Friday In the coffee club rooms he opened fire, sending a shot into the hold up man's abdomen. GETS BEATING- - Reynolds whirled on the patrolman and riddled the door through which he entered with bullets. While his back was turned the throng of Greeks swarmed over Reynolds, be told police this moaning, and administered a severe beating. "Every man in the place jumped on me as soon as I turned around," Rey nolds, declared. "One man hit me on the head with a billiard" cue and 1 went -out.' . The billiard cue was wielded by Thomas N. Nickles. secretary of the club. The- blow rendered Reynolds un conscious for several minutes. In gain ing an entrance Reynolds had fired at Nickles, wounding him below the right knee. , The shot attracted Patrolmen Traver and Nelson who rushed Into the room and started shooting point blank at the prisoner. PLEADS POVERTY :.l How the patrolmen escaped with their lives is a wonder to the fellow officer who have examined the door that Rey nold's bullets struck. It is literally rid dled with holes, they say. ' 1 - Reynolds told inspectors that poverty prompted his attempt to rob. but th police point to the two valuable revolv ers he carried, in contradicting the plea. Either gun is worth 340, they say. Rey nolds, who wore a private detective star and was well dressed, said he works as a sign painter and automobile salesman. A charge of asasult and robbery has been filed against the man. . Gasoline 17.7 Cents In Kansas City, But Portland Pays 27 Kansas City, June 25. (L N. S.) Gasoline dropped from 19.7 cents to 17,7 cents a gallon at Standard Oil company filling stations here today. Independent companies met tf the new low , price at once. -"- The prevailing ; retail price of gaso line ' in Portland is 2? cents a gallon, plus a Z-cent tax. There is no pros pect for any deviation from this fig ure, according to J. K. Balsley. local sales manager of the Standard Oil company. The Mid-West supply : of gasoline comes from the Texas oil fields, which are glutted with petroleum products, according to Balsley. . Gaso line used in the Pacific Coast territory is supplied by the wells and, refineries in California and there is not suffi cient surplus on hand in that market to warrant a reduction in price. Bals ley stated. There will be no local re lief through shipping . oils from Texas to the coast,- Balsley indicated, for such ehipment will not be attempted.

WAR IS DECLARED ON POTATO BUGS An army :,ot ; potato bugs settled on a three-block 'area around Tenth and Rhone streets, where they , are foraging seriously in the gardens of Portland; people, was the object of a sudden, energetic and determined campaign of eradication launched to day by state and county .fruit inspec tors ! I . . ' For the first time in the history of Oregon potato bugs have been found here. The presence, of the bugs, a spe cies ef the Colorado beetle, was brought to the attention of J. E. Stansbery, deputy state fruit inspector, and C. N. Walker, county firuit: inspector," Friday afternoon;- LEGAL ADVICE BOUGHT , .: 4 Stansbery. and Walker rushed to the stronghold of the Invaders and gath ered a cantul of specimens. With these - they retreated to the office of District Attorney Evans and asked him how far they might go in destroy ing the gardens that harbored' the bugs. Evans read the law to the effect that the property-owners should be notified to eradicate the insects, and that If they t did not do so the fruit inspectors were authorized to do it themselves. : j POTATOES DESTBOTED "Eight years ago two cars of oota toes from Mexico were left on the sid ing of the Southern Pacific near the Brooklyn car , shops," Stansbery ex plained. "They were found to be . in fected. An injunction suit was started to prevent the notatoes from beine un loaded, here.; Judge Gantenbein heard the case and ordered the potatoes de stroyed and the bugs steamed to death. "The cars were refrigerator cars and closed tightly, but by some method one or two of the bugs must have slipped out. t Gradually they reproduced until now, they are countless." Residents in. the district say they were bothered by the beetles last year. but thought nothing of it. They sup posed the bugs were at work through out me ctty. ; PEOPLE ARE WAB3TED Stansbery this afternoon served no tice on the people with infested gar- aens to have their gardens destroyed by Tuesday 1 or the inspectors would set about doing It themselves. The county . commissioners are required to matte .recompense .. to the property owners.. -i : I The beetles ; are from one-third to one-half an inch in length. They are salmon-pink Jn color, with stripes or a darker hue. j They are not-the ortho dox elliptical potato bug of the Middle West. They i are not so dark a red and their ; bodies ; are longer and curved.: j. .v;.; . Walkef states that , their spread . is not rapid and that he anticipates lit tle difficulty in eradicating them. The inspectors favor ; the- plan - of using a blow torch and stripping off all the vegetation, taking the bugs along with it. The eggs of the beetle are re pos ited on the under sides of the leaves.

I'D McNary Preparing Report on His New Measure for Seriate; Leg islation Would Create Revolv ing Fund Involving Millions. Washington, June . 25. Senator McNary's reclamation " bill, ' after careful revision and long considera tlon, has been ordered favorably re ported by unanimous vote of the sen ate committee on reclamation, of which McNary is chairman. He is preparing a report to submit to the senate Monday. ; This bill proposes to set in motion what is virtually a revolving fund which within IS years' is calculated to make $1,000,000,000 available and within a com paratively short span -of years to re claim . all Western land that can - be economically Irrigated. HUGE SUMS SEEDED : To start this work on a comprehensive plan, it Is proposed to advance $20,000,000 to the reclamation fund next year, $35,- 000,000 the year following,, $45,000,000 the next year, and $50,000,000 every year for three years thereafter,--a total of $250,000,000. - i All this money . is to be repaid from the land, and forms the basis for a con tinuing, fund created by sale of bonds of irrigation districts built in the first instance by these advances, these bonds to be .issued by the federal farm loan board when it finds that property values in irrigation districts equal twice the value of the bonds. AVOID OBJECTIONS ; This avoids the objections to previous bills against the government, placing Its credit behind irrigation bonds, making the bonds stand for created value. : Pro ceeds Of each succeeding sale go to swell reclamation funds for new projects, until the job of reclaiming the arid West is done. ' 1 - r i Secretary of the Interior Fall Is the supervising officer. No project will be started until it has been investigated and approved by him. - when be will enter a construction contract with the irriga Uon district-concerned.-; Bonds deposited by the district will 'cover the. entire cost, including interest . at not; more than -6 per cent. .'2 per cent- for administration and in the discretion -of the secretary an allowance for bond , interest during the construction, period.: P . ' f . INTEREST FEATURE 3TEW . ' The interest feature is new in the gov ernment reclamation, the committee be ing of the opinion that under existing conditions the federal government should not be required to supply funds without interest, but that interest can be fixed at a rate far lower than it is possible for private enterprise to secure. : f It provides for designation' of ' farm units and sale ' of excess holding of private lands within approved projects. Repayment of government advances will be made at the rate of $50,000,000 per year after 20 years. ' The measure is intended to write the final chapter in the reclamation history of the United States. ';-.. - PESDLETOJT MAW WINS It has been . framed with 'assistance of a committee named by Western gov ernors and is promised united Western support, along with Indorsement of ex service men. It may possibly be offered as a substitute . for the land settlement section of the ; holders' compensation bill,' which will soon come before the senate, though McNary doubts the wis dom of offering it as a tail to another kite and will not do so unless circum stances requires. - The house today passed Representa tive Sinnott's bill allowing E.

He is told that he will be given ample opportunity for investigating along these lines and will be cordially received, but that his investigation along other lines will not be welcomed. MUST SOT SEE AMERICAS' Senator France is further informed that if he enters Russia be must agree to refrain from any attempt to see Mrs. Marguerite E. Harrison or any . other American prisoner now in Russia. The soviet authorities make it plain : that they will not only not permit Senator France ' to' see Mrs. . Harrison or the other American-prisoners, but that they will not discuss their release with him. If there is no other alternative but to agree to these conditions and restric tions. Senator France will agree to them, but he hopes when he gets to Riga these restrictions will not be insisted upon. But whether they are or not he is going on. Senator France is leaving Berlin today and expects to be in Moscow with in a week or 10 days. ; Harding Believed to Have Put Salve on Admiral Sims' Hurt Washington, June 25.
