Umatilla county will be confronted
with a stupendous task next week In
the drive for ten tons of old clothing
for war refugees. Ten tons Is twenty
thousand pounds, which means con-
tribution must average approximately
one pound for every man, woman and i
child In the county. i
The committee In churge. of which
C B. Penland Is chairman, met last
evening and frankly admitted the pos-la,
'nihility of being unable to meet the
(county quota. During the past year
about fifteen tons have' been shipped
sout of this county and now to raise

WASHINGTON. March .22. The
state department today sent notice in
the form of a senate resolution to the
California-Mexican bind company at
Los Angeles regarding land the Jap
anese are trying to secure In lower
California near the Mexican-American
boundary. The resolution Is re
garding the purchase by foreign pow
ers of sites suitable for military and
naval bases which weaken the de
fenses of the United States.
Certain desirable tracts of land of
these types apparently belong to the
California-Mexican land company, of
ficials said. The resolution sent the
company was adopted at the time of
the Magdalena bay activities. Ac
