Mr. Oliver stated that In a brief survey which he has already made of the Central Oregon country since his arrival here, he has found that hundreds of cars are needed to take care of back orders at the Bend mills, while grain which has 'been sold, but which Is yet unshipped, may remain in warehouses, and piled on the ground until late spring if the supply ot rolling stock is not aug mented.

WOULD fiEDUCE CAR SHORTAGE WAR IS GERMAN BELIEF THINK U-BOATS WILL BRING PEACE. Submarines Will "Cat Allies' Blood Vessels," Declare Officials Six More Ships Victims of Under sea Warfare Today.

NEW COUNTY WOULD STILL BE FORMED, BY LEGISLATURE'S ACTION'. SALEM, Or., Feb. 2. (Special.) According to Representative For bes and other attorneys who bave given the question consideration, there is no doubt whatuver that the passage of the Deschutes county bill ends tor all time, litigation directed against the county's legal existence. The bill serves a double purpose. It both validates all the steps taken In the recent formation ot the new county, following the election, and also actually' creates it as a legisla tive act. In short, had there been no election at all, say the attorneys, the passage ot House BUI No. 135 would have created the new county beyond possibility of legal question. The recent supreme court decision In the case of Rose vs. the Port ot Portland, sets a precedent removing any question ot the legislature's jur isdiction in the premises. That de cision, In effect, declares that cities and towns are municipalities, but that counties are not, so that there Is no Inhibition against a legislative enactment affecting a county, as there would be against one affecting a municipality. Should Circuit Judge Duffy sus tain the demurrer entered by the at torneys for the new county, which expected by those familiar with the legal status ot the argument, the case presumably automatically would terminate. Further litigation against the new county could never get be fore a court, in view ot the act ot the 'legislature, It Is stated, v , IMMIGRATION BILL PASSED BY HOUSE WASHINGTON, , Feb. 2. The House passed. the immigration bill by a vote ot 286 to 106, over the pres ident's veto. . The measure will com up next before tbe Senate. PASSAGE OF ACT ENDS ARGUMENT
