the state treasury department
Thursday.
As a result of a sale to the
United States reclamation serv

of which was represented by con
struction work and part by cash,
the federal government in Au
gust, 1929, paid to the district
$325,000. This money was de
posited with the state treasurer,
mad was later supplemented by
payments from the state engi
neer aggregating $62,993.41. be
tween the dates of August 16
and October 16. 1929.
District Funds

Upon receipt of the iirst

irrigation district, bondholders
committee and the state reclama
tion commission, purchased at a
discount of $300, United States
treasury "certificates due Septem
ber 15, 1929, amounting to
$320,000. These certificates
drew 4 per cent interest. The
cost of the investment lncld1"
accrued interest vas $325,
502.17. When these certificates ma
tured they were exchanged at
par for $300,000 worth of 4 7-8
per cent treasury certificates due
June 15, 1330. on uciuurr
1929, a total of $50,000 of 4 3-4
per cent certificates were pur
chased at $100.03 per $100 par
value with the money turned
over on that date by the state
engineer.
On November 8. 1929. a total
of $200,000 of 4 7-8 per cent
treasury certificates were sold at
a profit of $1,312.50. and the
proceeds invested in 4 U certifi

of 4 3-4 Fourth Liberty Loan

owners of the district, a total
profit of $7043.05, and still

Fourth Liberty Loan bonds
bousht at a price of $101.22 per

House Cleaning
Proves Profitable
To Jake Bingham
GERVAIS, Oct. 23. It
pays to clean up one's place
once in a while, or at least
it paid Jake Bingham this
week. While going through
some old papers and clean
ing up around his pool hall,
Mr. Bingham found a roll of
bills amounting to exactly
f lOO which he had hidden
away about 16 years ago.
There was no bank In
Gervais at that time and Mr.
Bingham was accustomed to
hiding his money in various
places about bis building so
that if ho was robbed or held
up the thieTes would not get
all he had. This money was
rolled op 'and put in a box
and put away back of some
old papers. Mr. Bingham
came very near throwing the
box and .all on a bonfire be
had started in the back yard,
but he saw the roll just in
time to save it.

system in Oregon were formulat
ed by the state traffic department

school authorities at Silverton

The location of the school
buildings was surveyed for the
purpose of offering suggestions
and recommendations for the bet
terment of safety conditions In
general. L. C. Eastman, mayor
of Silverton, assured the tate
traffic department representa
tives that their recommendations
would be given his immediate ap
proval and support and that an
effort would be made to place
them In effect within a short
time.
Arrangements were made for
the selection of 40 school stu
dents, to be designated by the
school officials, to act as student
patrolmen. Twenty of those se
lorterf will nerform the duties as
outlined by the traffic division
and the remaining 20 will serve
In the capacity of alternates. The

Cities Will be
Represented
Meet Here Today
Virtually every municipality In
h stale will be represented here
today at the annual meeting of
the League of Oregon cities, me
neetlnr will be held IB the hall
of renresentatives in the state-
house, with Chris Schubel of Ore
gon City presiding.
Discussion of the Willamette
river, with relation to its sanitary
condition, sewerage disposal, and
other kindred subjects wiu teat
are the meeting.
Warnings against the menace
to health found In veneral dis
eases are given in the weekly bul
letin from the state board of
health. Inasmuch as the county
health unit has been stressing
particularly this year veneral dis
ease control, the health board's
warning is particularly timely for
this county. Since the health unit
started to emphasize this phase of
health problems, there has been
a marked improvement in report
ing and many new cases in the
city and county have been
brought to light. These diseases
are curable during early stages.
Fallowing is what the state
health board has to say:
"The two diseases that are usu
ally classed as venereal are gon
orrhea and syphilis. A third one
of less Importance is chancroid.
The specific micro-organisms of
these diseases are given off from
open lesions upon the skin or
mucous membranes. Each dis
ease is produced by the entrance
of discharge from an Infected
person directly into an open
wound upon the skin or mucous
membrane of an orifice of the
body.
"There has been a popular be
lief that a venereal disease is of
merely temporary importance,
and concerns only the person who
is infected. There la often little
discomfort or gross evidence of
disease. The severer symptoms
often subside promptly, and the
patient may be able to mingle
with society without exciting sus
picion. But the specific germs
remain in unhealed and unnoticed
lesions and are transmitted to in
nocent persons, especially to a
wife of an uncured husband.
Apparent Recovery
Often but Temporary
"The germ3 mat remain in the
body may produce severe forms
of the disease months or years af
ter apparent recovery. Many
cases of rheumatism and bone
diseases, a fourth of all cases of
insanity, many severe gynecologic
conditions, and all cases of loco
motor ataxia and paresis are later
manifestations of uncured vener
eal disease. Grave effects are left
in probably ten per cent of all
cases. Venereal diseases are
plagues which rank with tubercu
losis in their prevalence and in
their evil effects on individuals
and society.
"Gonorrhea is entirely too pre
valent. It affects all ages and all
classes of society. It is the cause
of blindness of the newborn and
many surgical operations on the
female genital organs. It causes
sterility in both men and women
and is the cause of many chronic
diseases of the Joints, bladder and
generative organs.
"Syphilis is said to affect over
five per cent of the total popula
tion and affects all ages and all
classes of society throughout the
world. It Is responsible for the
birth of diseased children 85
per cent of these children die.
Syphilis causes diseases of the
liver, spinal cord, heart, blood
vessels and other vital organs.
Venereal diseases decrease the
length of life about one third and
greatly decrease efficiency.
"Gonorrhea and syphilis are
both preventable and curable dur
ing their early stage. They can
be (fured by any physician who is
informed on modern treatment."

IS
QUESTIONED
Woodburn Firemen to De
termine Space Needed
For Restricted Area
WOODBURN, October 23 If
the Woodburn fire department
finds that the 20-foot district
near water hydrants which Is re
stricted from parking is more
than enough room for the fire
company to gain access to the hy
drant In event of fire, the dis
tance may be cut down. The fire
company plans to make an actu
al test by parking cars at var
ious distances from the fire hy
drants and determining how
much room is actualy needed.
The action is a result of com
plaints submitted to the Wood
burn city council, which met
Tuesday evening.
George Beach, city recorder
was instructed to advertise for
bid sfor the completion of the im
provement of Bradley street. The
street has been graded by the city
and now the gravelling Is to be
done. The contract calls for a
six-inch bed of gravel nine feet
wide.
The old matter of street lights
was again discussed. Since the
public service" company serving
Woodburn has presented a con
tract to light the city for $64.0 a
year, councilman Evenden anTci
ty Attorney McCord were in
structed to make a survey of
lighting rates in nearby towns. In
the contract the public service
company also agrees to change
the location of old street lights
which are practically useless for
protection to places where they
would be more useful. The con
tract Is for a ten-year period.
Election boards for the forth
coming election were appointed.
They are: West 6ide: Mabel Set
tlemier, chairman; Mrs. Theodore
Nehl, Judge; Mrs. Arista Nendel,
