P. D. McNnmeo and Mull McGee,

ments made for I ha district gather-,
ling.
The delegates from tho Central
council contended that tho gymna
sium, representative of tho entire
community, should not' be used
tor tho advancement of,. the In
terests of ay fuctlon. They declared
also that tho Loyal Legion is inimi
cal to tho Timber workers' union.
In rcsponso to these arguments, it

It has always been the policy of the
club to allow the renting of tho gym
nasium for any publio gathering, and
that (he same privileges are open to
the union as to tho Four L's. It
waa also stated definitely that the
mere fact that a meeting of the kind
la to bo hold does not in any sense
mean that the club, as an organiza
tion, is supporting the movement.
The directors wished to be quoted as
emphasising that the club will not
take Bides, either in support or op
position of any publio or seml-publlc
movement, organization or oreed.

LOGGING ROAD
NOW ASSURED
CONTRACT CLOSED FOR
$100,000 JOB.
Majority of 1 .10 Men to Uo Employed
on Hlievlin-Illxon Extension to
Bo Drawn from Rend
and Vicinity.
Returning from a business trip to
Spokane, J. H. Meister, logging
superintendent for The Shevlln
Hlxon Company, announced this
morning that during his stay In the
Washington city he let the contract
for the seven-mile logging railroad
extension planned by the lumber
company to the Arm of Slmms &
Carlson of Spokane. The price
agreed upon for the work is
$100,000.
The letting of the contract crystal
Izes plans which Mr. Meister made
public a little more than a week ago
for a substantial addition to the
present railway system of the com
pany to tap heavy pine forests in
the Benham falls section. Work is
to start immediately, the logging
superintendent states.
The employment of 150 men for a
period extending over at least six
months will be necessitated in con
structing the railroad extension, the
contractors estimate, and a large
proportion of the labor supply will
be drawn from Bend and the imme
diate vicinity. A few men will be
brought In from Spokane, but the
contractors plan to pick up most of
their help after their arrival here.
That this plan of action will aid
materially in upholding Bend's repu
tation for offering employment to all
returning soldiers, sailors and ma
rines is the belief of officials of the
company.
WAR BRIDE SCHOOL
IS BEING PLANNED
British Government to Pay All Ex
penses of Soldiers Wives in
Special Educational Course.
LONDON, Feb. 15. Schools for
war brides and soldiers' fiancees are
being planned by the demobilization
department.
Domestic science, food chemistry,
marketing and care of children will
be taught.
The government will pay all ex
penses of the pupils.
The schools will be open only to
wives of soldiers and women en
gaged to marry soldiers. More than
400,000 young women are eligible,
it is estimated.
Department officials explain the
schools are expected to pay for them
selves as social experiments by train
ing women to be helpful wives. The
schools are needed, It is -believed, .
because thousands of young girls left
their homes to work in munition fac
tories at a time when they ordin
arily would have begun to learn
household duties.
Of 1,600,000 women who entered
industry during the war, thousands
now are jobless through the closing
of munition factories. Hundreds are
unable to find other employment be
cause peace Industries have not yet
got into full Bwlng. The schools are .
expected to give occupation to hun
dreds of women who otherwise
would have nothing to, do.
The wires' and fiancees' schools
will be established in scores of cities
which became munition centers dur
ing the wtar.
