To the People of the United States:
I earnestly appeal to every man, woman and child
to pledge on or before June 28th to save constantly
and to buy regularly as possible the securities of the
government, and to do this as far as possible through
membership in war savings societies.
Jime 28th ends this special period of enlistment

(From Thursday's Dally.)
Salem, Juno 13. Tho Squaw
Creek Irrigation district of Deschutes
county, through II. II. Do Armond
of Hum, has filed application with
pio Irrigation securities commission
to float 12G,000 worth of district
bonds.
Tho electors of tho district voted
for tho issuo on May 4, 1918, tho
money to bo derived from tho salo
to he for the purchase, of tho Inter
ests and water rights of tho Squaw
Creok Irrigation company upon
Squaw creek In tho Squaw Creok irri
gation system and on tbo lauds and
wntor rights of tho Dlack Ilutte
Land & Livestock company.
At tho election 2C electors voted
with 23 votes In favor of tho bond
Issuo and three against. Tho pro
posed bonds aro to bo 20-year nego
tiable bonds in denominations of
1100, JoOO nnd $1,000 and they may
be retired at any tlmo after five years
from tho dato of their Issuance. The
bonds arc to bear C per cent. Interest.
Tho district comprises approxi
mately 12,000 acres, of which ap
proximately 7,000 acres nro now
under Irrigation and ditches, canals
and flumes aro now constructed suf
ficient to Irrlgato practically all of
tho land within tho district.
It Is tho purposo of tho district
to acquire nil of tho existing canals
and rights so that tho settlers may
hnvo control Instead of private com
panies. No action has been taken upon the
application by tho securities commis
sion, but It Is probablo that tho com
mission will visit tho Deschutes coun
try In tho near future.

The "Daya of '49" woro never
more realistic whon they wcro staged
some ssventy yemrs ago than the
closing hours of tho carnival at tho
Gymnasium last night. Tho crowds
oamo early, loosened up at tho start
and kept things moving until nearly
3 o'clock this morning, when tho
doors wero closed, n6t bceauso every
ono was tired, but because tho crowd
and not tho booths or Monto Carlo
had run short of tho over needy.
Dancing was continued from the
early evening until tho closing hour,
and whllo this was going on thoso
who did not caro to partako of this
pleasure, or perhaps rnoro correctly
speaking needed a rest, could Indulge
In any amusement they desired, from
taking chances on a $50 Liberty bond
(which was oventually won by Mrs.
Wlglo of Prlnevllle) or thrift stamps,
tho patronago of other booths or
bucking tho tiger In 'Monto Carlo.
Any ono of theso pastimes was hope
less, so far as deriving remuneration
to tho buyer, but It gave tho result

The returns for tho two evenings'

of $C00, according to statements

MAY ORGANIZE
BALL LEAGUE
(From Frlday'B Dally.)
Plans for tho formation of a base
ball leaguo In Dend under tho direc
tion of tho Dend Amateur Athletic
club aro bolng worked out by a com
mltteo from tho club, of which Carl
(Johnson and Hay Canterbury are
members. It Is planned to organize
toams from tho members of tho club
at Tho ShevIlu-HIxon nnd Ilrooks
Scanlon mills, tho Union club, pos
sibly tho woods, and at least ono
other organization In the city. Under
this plan baseball will be assured the
fans each week.
Dcsplto the fact that many of tho
young men of tho city have been
called by tho draft, thero la still
somo good timber to work on among
tho oldor men, as was evidenced by
tho game last Sunday betwoen tho
Union club and tho Hrooks-Scanlon
camp, which resulted In a victory
for the camp by tho small margin
of ono run, tho score standing 2 to 1
at tho end of tho ninth inning.
Tho men on theso two teams have
had but vory llttlo practice, but are
rounding out in good form.
It Is thought by the members of
tho commltteo that teams playing
meritorious baseball can bo secured
bore, If a sufflctont interest Is taken
to got them started.
As soon as a complete membership
of tho athlotlc club has boen com
piled tho commltteo will tako up tho.
formation of the clubs with tho In
dlvlduals direct.

Projtmal Made nt Commercial Club

(From Wednesday's Dally.)
Matters ranging from tho creation
of a central labor exchango to a pro
posal that Uond should endeavor to
bring tho National Editorial asso
ciation hero next summer on its trip
through the Northwest occupied the
attention of the Commercial club at
Its weekly luncheon this noon.
Tho proposal of Jay II. Upton,
president of the Oregon Irrigation
congress, that tho government set
aside land In tho westorn states to
bo reclaimed and sold to returned
soldiers was Indorsed and a motion
pasted that the club organize a raovo
ment In tho state to obtain congres
sional action on tho proposal.
This mattor was brought bofore
tho club by II. J. Overturf, who also
pointed out that tho National Edi
torial association was to meet In tho
Northwest next year and spond three
days in British Columbia, Oregon
and Washington. R. W. Sawyer, 'A.
Whlsnant and H. C. Ellis were ap
pointed a commltteo to endeavor to
get Bend Included in tho association's
Oregon Itinerary, tho suggestion be
ing made that the party might bo
taken on tho circle trip from Port
land to Crater lake and through Cen
tral Oregon.
Speaking of tho cost ot entorUln
Ing conventions, A. Whlsnant urged
that the club consider how the ex
penses wero to be met.
C. S. Hudson called attention to
the need of helping to place men on
farms to assist with the work during
the harvest season and on his mo
tion It was voted that the club tako
up tho matter and arrange for n
labor exchange or employment bu
reau In a practical way. County
Agriculturist Ward offered tho co
operation of his office In the work.
At the closo of the meeting Edwin
Keller, winner ot tho club prize of

HIGHWAY WORK
IS HINDERED
(From Tuesday's Dally.)
That it will probably be Octobor
boforo tho highway betwoon Tho
Dalles and Hood Itlvor Is open to
traffic is tho opinion of Mr. Hodson,
president ot the Hodaon-Fonaughty
Road Machinery company ot Port
land, who started on his return trip
to Portland yesterday, by way ot
Prlnevllle, after spending several
days at the IloUlug resort on the
Motolius.
iMr. Hodson states that at the
present tlmo It coata from $10 to
36 to hnvo a car taken from Hood
Rlvor to The Dalles, by either thw
boat or train and the sorvico la most
unsatisfactory. Work on tho high
way Is progressing very slowly, due
partly to the Inability ot the con
tractors to secure efflciont labor, and
tho shortage of powder for blasting
purposes la also keenly felt.
Tourist traffic beyond Hood River
this summer will bo very !lght,,.lie
his opinion, because of the wpaM?
ot making the tntn8fer.'beyond that
portion of the highway which la be
ing repaired.
Get ready to take the pledge.
