To Start War Savings Plan
In December; Outline Given
The wnr-savings plan provided for
In tho last bond net, of September 24,
1917, has been formulated and an
nounced by tho Treasury Department
and goes Into operation on Monday,
December 3.
The plan puts it easily In reach of
nvory Anierlcun citizen lo suvo money
and nt tho snmo time aid tho govern
ment by supplying it with tho sinews
of war.
Stamps, which are tho govern
ment's certificates of Indebtedness,
are to be sold In two denominations
thrift stumps, which cost 25 cents
each, mid war-savings stamps, which
cost from $4.12 to $-1.23 each, accord
ing to thn mouth In which they are
purchased.
With thn first thrift stamp the
purchaser Is given a thrift card with
spaces for 10 stamps. When 111 thrift
stamps hnvo beon purchased and af
fixed thn thrift card ran bo exchanged
for a wnr-suvlngs stamp by paying
tho (llfforeneo between tho $4 tho
thrift slumps represent nnd tho cur
rent, value of a wnr-savliigs stump,
which In December. 1917, nnd Janu
ary, 1918, will be $4.12, and there
after 1 cent for each succoodlng
month during tho year 1918.
Willi tho first war-savings stump
obtained by purchase or exchaugo tho
ownor Is given a war-savings certifi
cate containing spaees for 20 .war
savings stamps. It tho 20 spaces nro
filled during December, 1917, or Jan

Diversion I-'rom H. I'. & H. to Southern

Cam Will I'uriiMi Ooe-Flflh
of tlm Normal Supply,
llccaiie of the diversion of empties
from the K. I'. & 8. by .government
orders, I'.end shippers are facing whut
It Is fibred may prove tho worst car
famine In this history of the city.
Local agent 1). Keller yesterday noti
fied shippers that all empty carB are
ordered out on the Oregon Trunk.
How long the orders placing 8. P. &
8. cars al the disposal of the Southern
Pacific, will hold good is not definite
ly known, out the situation Is deemed
so serious that an earnest effort Ib
being made to have the instructions
for diversion of ears rescinded. The
cars furninbed at the expense of the
Central Oregon territory, it Is under
stood, are to be used on the Southern
Pacific for lumber shipping.
Mills May Suffer.
Agent Keller received his orders
in regard lo the Oregon Trunk short
age from tlm superintendent's office
In Portland, but in regard to any pos
sible similar situation on the O.-W.
H. & N. he had no Information. He
stated, however, that the car supply
on the O.-W. has been constantly
diminlKliliKg recently. The announce
ment was made only last week by S.
L. Wiggins. O.-W. travelling freight
and passenger agent, that a shortage
on his line wag to be expected soon
because of government need of cars
for shipping of war and camp sup
plies.
Today there are some 85 cars In
the Bend yards, 52 of these having
been brought In on tho Oregon Trunk
line. At the usual rate of shipping,
however, these are due to last only
about three days. As the outgoing
freight averages 30 carB a day, with
Incoming freight about six cars dally,
the supply of empties ill, when the
present supply Is exhausted, dwindle
to 20 per cent of the normal.
The lumber mills will suffer chief
ly as their average dally shipments
constitute at least 25 cars of the out
going freight.
TWO HIGHWAYMEN
ROB DENVER BANK
DENVER. Nov. 23 Two highway
men at noon entered the Ilalian
Aincrlcan bank and. covering the
cashier with revolvers, secured $1700
in-cash and escaped. The robbers
overlooked $"'000 also on hand.
uary, 191 S. the cost to the purchaser
will be $4.12 for each stamp, or
$82.40 for the full certificate, and on
tho 1st day of January, 1923, tho
government will redeem the certifi
cate at $100, giving the holder a net
profit of $17.00 for tho hsc of his
money.
Although these Investments do not
mature until January 1, 1923, pro
vision Is made whereby upon 10 days'
written notice after January 1, 1918,
such certificates will be redeemed by
postmasters nt their cost to tho pur
chasers plus 1 cent a month on ouch
iwnr-saving stnmp on the certificate.
The thrift stamps do not hear In
terest, hut tho war-snvings stamps
bear 4 per cent, compounded quar
terly. The certificates will be dated
January 2, 191 S, and mature January
1, 1923.
Under tho plan an amount as smnll
as 25 cents can be invested in a gov
ernment security, and as soon as $4
has been thus Invested an Interest
hearing certificate of tho United
States government can be secured.
The stamps nnd certificates can bo
obtained from post offices, banks, or
trust com pan lea, at most railroad sta
tions, stores, factories, and, many oth
er public places.
Having the ontlre wealth of the
United States back of them, and bo
lug redeemable us above stated, there
is no clangor of any depreciation In
value of tho certificates.

First Lieutenant
SAN FHANCI3CO, Cal., Nov.
23. Fred A. Woelflen, of Bend,
was among those receiving ap
pointments as first lieutenants
In the Infantry at the gradua
tion of the officers reserve train
ing school at the Presidio. Many
commissions were given first
lieutenants, but so far captains
are few. Hundreds of the for
mer graduated from tho first
camp are to be promoted to
captaincies, thus creating lieu
tenants' vacancies.
In picking the officers, the ef
ficiency boards reviewed the
records mado by the men In
camp and took Into considera
tion the positions held by them
previous to entrance. The rec
ommendations received at that
time are also considered.

AXD ADDS FIVK PLANERS TO
PRESENT EQUIPMENT.
For the second time since the
Brooks-Scanlon plant was put in op
eration in April, 1916, it has been
i found necessary to Increase the size
of the dry shed, and workmen are
'now busy In clearing out stumps and
( cutting down a knoll to make room
jfor the extension. The addition will
j be built on the west end of the shed
j running toward the main entrance to
I the yard, and will be 4S feet in
; length. The spur track beside the
shed will probably not be lengthened,
j For any further increase In dry
shed capacity it will probably be
necessary to move the office building
: from Its site over toward the river.
I Another addition made necessary
by the amount of business done by
the company is the Installation of
five planers. These were ordered
some time aigo and are now on the
jroad. They will be put in aB soon as
they arrive here, causing the need
:for an extension of the planer shed.
I With this new machinery it will
be possible to fill orders rapidly and
especially to obtain quick car load
ing, a condition of great importance
in a time of car shortage.
ONE MAN IS KILLED
IN TRAIN COLLISION
(By United PreM to The Bend Bulletin.)
SPOKANE, Nov. 23. Collision of
a passenger and work train near Pine
I Creek on the Wallace branch of the

CITY VALUATION IS
UP QUARTER MILLION
An increnso of over a quarter of a
million dollars in the assessed valu
ation of the city of Bend for the pres
ent year Is Indicated In the prelim
inary statement of the valuation,
', made known by Assessor W. T. Mul
larkey yesterday. Without the pub
' l;c utility valuation, the assessment
iis $797,410 or an increase of $253,
1 960 over last year's figures which
i included the utilities. The utilities
i valuation should be well over $60,
000. I Tho Increase is due to the Inclusion
jfor the first time, of the valuation
'of tho sections west of the river and
'to the great growth of the city since
I the building of the mills here.

exceeds the total British killed,
wounded and missing by several
