BONUS CLAIMS

By far the biggest day's work
In the history of the Oregon vet

Friday, when the commissioners
passed upon and allowed 627 cash
laims, aggregating about $140,-
000; fixed the amount and ap
proved 196 land claims, aggregat
ing about $400,000, and paid out
the cash on 60 loan claims that
bad gone through all the prelim

cashier for settlement.
This is said to be fully one-half
larger than any previous day's
record; it means the allowance
of between $550,000 and $600.-
000 in cash for the veterans of
the state, for a single day's hear

The total number of cash claims
thus far allowed, is 16,189; the

Linn and Benton Would
Levy Tax to Carry
Old Warrants
An affirmative argument to be
used in the voters' pamphlet in
behalf of a measure designed to
authorize Linn county to levy an
annual two-mill tax with which
to pay Its outstanding warrants,
waa filed yesterday with the sec
retary of state by a committee
appointed by the county court.
The committee points out that
the county's present budget re
quires all the money that Linn
county can legally raise by a tax,
levy under the limitations of the
state constitution.
"When the era of good roads
began. Linn county had a depleted
treasury," the statement expTains.
"It found it necessary to issue
warrants to take advantage of
the state's offer to pave sections
of its highways and repair many
much used roads. There was a
general sentiment that the county
should keep abreast of the times
and provide passable roads for its
citizens and visitors. When the
time came to levy a tax to pay
for these improvements it was
fotfnd that a sufficient levy could
not legally be made because of
the constitutional limitation. This
left warrants outstanding which
the county was morally bound to
pay but with no legal way to pay
them.
"It is now asked of the voters
of the state that they grant the
county the authority to make this
additional two-mill levy so that
the honor of the county- may be
maintained. This authority will
end when the outstanding war
rants are fully paid ond does not
give the county any authority to
exceed the limitation in the fu
ture." THE WEATHER:

DALLAS. Or.. July 14. (Se
cial to The Statesman.) The for
est fire outlook In Polk county
at present is far better than it
was the first of the week. While
there have been a number of
large fires, and one of whith
burned over an area of ten square
miles, most of them have been In
logged-off land and in many cases
over ground that had been burned
over before, so that the only dam
age will be to the small fir trees
which had gotten a fine growth
on the land and promised to make
merchantible timber In years to
come.
Fire in Sllcta Basin
W. V. Fuller, fire warden for
Polk county, haa been continually
the hump for the past several
days and for three days and
nights this week worked with
fire fighting crews above Black
Rock to keep the flames from ap
proaching the big camp of the
Willamette Valley Lumber com
pany. Mr. Fuller returned home
Thursday for a few hours sleep,
but had hardly hit the 'bed when
he received word to bring a crew
of men to fight a new fire in the
Siletz basin. He left last night
for the scene of the blaze and
hopes to get it under control be
fore it gets into the mammoth
reen timber of that district.
Campers Warned
Every precaution is being taken
to keep the fires out of the tim
ber, and sportsmen and campers
are warned about going into the
timber at this time as it is hard
to tell when the wind will change
and convert a smoldering fire into
a roaring conflagration. People
who have been going into the Si
letz basin in former years in
search of wild blackberries are
especially warned to keep aVray
from that district. The berry
vines have all been burned by
fires during the past few weeks,
and there is danger of other fires
surrounding them if they should
happen to disregard the warnings
of the fire wardens.

Quarterly Payday to Take

Favorite of the Past
Oregon national guardsmen are
to receive their pay quarterly. In
stead of semi-annually, following
the promulgation of new rules for
the guard. Heretofore, they have

Hereafter they will have two more

March 31. The new ruling goes
Into effect for the September pay
ment.
New rates of pay are also now
In effect, in most cases being a
noticeable raise over the old
rates. Privates will dray $1 for
each drill day. as heretofore.
Privates, first class, lose the price
of a two-cent stamp a day under
the new ruling, which gives them
11.15, where they once received
$1.17. Corporals move up from
si.27 to 11.40; sergeaats who
bad received $1.50 will now draw

from $1.50 to $2.40, a regular
