90 VAGRANTS A DAY
ENTERING OREGON
Just as he did with his troops on
the Mexican border In 1015-17, Gov
ernor Martin today ordered a per
iod of "watchful wailing" for state
policemen before retaliating against
California's border blockade on
transients.
Ninety men are "riding tho rods"
Into Oregon every day from the
north and east, Supt. Charles P.
Pray of the state police reported to
the governor.
"We are bidding God speed to all
those going out of the state, but
are keeping no check on them,
Martin said.
"The city of Los Angeles has tak
en upon itself to send police pa
trols to Yreka. Dorris and Crescent
City to close the southern Oregon
border," the governor said. "The
California state highway patrol Is
protesting this assumption of au
thority, and county officials have
been advised to deputise the men
at their own risk.
"Poor California. This shows to
what limits its emotionalism will
go."

CONSTRUCTION
STOPPED ON NEW
HIGH SCHOOL
No settlement has yet been reach
ed among the city ot Salem, the
Salem school board, and the con
tractors as to who is going to pay
for a building permit for the new
Salem high school. Work on the
building Is at a standrtlll, through
action of the city, until the permit
Is Issued and paid for. The contract
ors were ready to begin pouring
concrete when E. C. Vushnell, city
building inspector, stopped opera
tions. Bushnell has permitted exca
vation to go ahead with the under
standing that a permit would be ob
tained before building began.
W. C. Wlnslow said he and the
attorney for the Hoffman Construe.
tion company had been unable to
come to terms and that City Attor
ney Paul R. Hendricks "was hard-
boiled, so we haven't got anywhere."
The fee to be paid for the permit
will be about $1100.
The Salem school board called a
meeting yesterday, afternoon after
it had received a demand from the
contractors that the board pay for
the permit. Mayor V. K. Kuhn ex
pected a conference to be called to
day on the difficulty, but this has
not- yet materialized.
The school board was fearful that
the arrangement witn the PWA
might be Jeopardized and the city
wants to avoid this. Winstow says
he is certain the fee is not collect
able from the school board and City
Attorney Hendricks says it is the
common practice that the contract
or get the permit. This was also
done on other school projects. This
was done in the case of the Leslie
junior high school, he says. There is
a possibility of court action, it Is
understood.
Settlement of the question will
furnish a precedent tor construction
of the grade school soon to start on
Mission street.
RETAIL TRADE
, AT HIGH LEVEL
New York, Feb. 7 (Pt Heavy buy
ing of winter merchandise held re-
tall trade at a high level last week.
Dun & Bradstreet reported today In
their weekly summary of trade con
dltions.
Characterizing it as a period of
"progressive trade movements," the
report noted a moderate advance in
industrial operations and generous
mall re-orders in wholesale markets.
A slight break in tho cold wave
which permitted shopping activities
to be pursued with more persist
ence, exerted a restorative Influence
on retail trade.
"Prom the total from the com
parative 1935 period, gains were
general, the estimated average for
the country being higher by 6 to 11
percent, with the largest increases
in the industrial districts.
"With severe winter weather pre
vailing in so many parts of the
country, activity in wholesale mar
kets was at a high rate during the
week, as attempts were made to fill
in all of the rush orders for men's
overcoats, sweaters, gloves, fur gar
ments, rubber footwear, hardware,
electrical supplies anu drugs.
"The most general depletion of
winter stocks has pmced retailers
in an excellent position to Increase
their purchases of spring goods, as
they now have larger funds of cash
available for Investment In inven
tories than at any comparative sea
son in the past five years.

STATE SURPLUS
TALK ALL BUNK
SAYS GOVERNOR
Reports that the state has eleven
and a half million dollars lying Idle
in the treasury ere erroneous, and
all funds now on hand are obligated.
Governor Martin declared here to
day. The governor termed such reports
as "nonsense." "Persons familiar
with the state's financial condition
know that we have a deficit of more
than a million dollars, with an ad
ditional property delinquency In ex
cess of $14,000,000." 1
As a result of the erroneous re
ports the Governor said he had been
urged to divert a part of the $11,
500,000 for the payment of old age
pensions.
The records show that more than
$4,000,000 of funds now in the treas
ury are credited to the state high
way commission,' the executive point
ed out. All of these funds are ob
ligated for the construction . and
maintenance of roads and bridges.
Some of the money belongs to the
Bonus commission, and other trust
funds are included.

For All the Van-Tage
She Tookl
Relief from 24 years of awful
stomach trouble. And it only cost

tookl That Is the remarkable state

which is now being introduced to
crowds of people dally here In Sa

and a Western Pioneer. Read her
statement In which she relates how
$2.00 worth of Van-Tage stopped
her stomach suffering after 24 years
of expensive medicines and treat'
ments had failed. This remarkable
statement follows:
Says It is Heaven's Gift to
Suffering People
"I am a woman ot 70 and have
never been much of a person to rec
ommend things to my friends, but
I honestly feel that 1 owe it to my
fellow-men to publicly endorse Van
Tage. So I am making this statement
for the good of humanity," said Mrs.
Ramsay. "For the past 24 years I
have been in an awful condition
with my stomach. It would be a
difficult task to describe all ol the
miserable hours I have had to en
dure. Why, the gas in my stomach
was simply awful. Ana the pains in
my stomach would last constantly
for as long as 14 hours at a time.
The loads of gas would press up
Into my chest and affect my heart
and I would faint away I was worn
out with this suffering
Only Spent $2.0(T for All
the Van-Tage She Took
"Now, all this time for 24 vears.
I kept trying everything I heard of
In the way of medicines and treat
ments. Sometimes I got a little re
lief. But it only, lasted a day or so
and then I was as bad as ever. Then
recently I heard aDout Van-Tage
and finally got It ana started tak
ing it. Will say that I never saw
anything Ilk this Uiediclne. It Is
truly 'Heaven's Gift to the Suffer

Van-Tage I took" and it Is giving me
real relief from this suffering, and
