"OREGON FIRST"
The following letter has been sr-nt

Oregon State Chamber of Com
merce: FIVE Hl.!)Ki:i .MIM.IO.N .DOL
LARS It is reported this is the amount
of funds Secretary Lane will ask con
gress to appropriate for the soldier
settlement plan.
It is likely a new bill will be for
muated by the Interior Department
requesting early action by congress
as a substitute for the $100,000,000
bill introduced. In framing the new
bill, the bills of Lane, Sinnott, Mc
Nary and otheru introduced at the
last seision will be considered.
Oregon is justly entitled to its
proportion if the proposed bill be
comes a law, anw with our senators
and representatives thoroughly alive
to the situation, we have reason to
believe the interests of our state will
be well protected.
Oiegon is very fortunate in nav ins
had our land settlement plan pre
sented by Whitney L. Rotse of Port
land and Prof. If. D. Scudder of
Oregon Agricultural College to the
Interior Department and Agricultur
al Depaitmert officials at Washing
ton and th'- plan had their approval.
We wish to use every effort to as
sist our congressmen in this great
undertaking, and not allow a condi
tion to exist as set forth in the state

.7. W. Brewer of our Irrigation and
drainage committee, having refer

question is now receiving (he atten

six and a half millions due Oregon.

fice such data as wo may need in

mediately, and It is our desire that

and that opinions of Individuals be
reduced to writing and forwarded
to this office.
Kvery section of the state having

it be reclamation of swamp lands or
irrigation of arid lands or the Irri

arid class but which would become
more productive with the application
of water scientifically distributed;
Whether it may be the bringing un
der cultivation or Into production
large areas of logged-off lands or
any land problem, .should forward
to this office, at the em-list possi
ble moment, complete figures whioi
will tell the story and express the
needs of each county or locality.
ThiB $500,000,000 bill is to apply
to arid, Bwamp and cut-over lands.
We desire letters from different sec
tions of the Btate, sutiiig forth, need
of reclaim' tlon and settlement work,
the acreage subject to the terms of
the Lane, Slnnot or McNary bills, the
benefit to be derived and the neces
Hity for Chese Improvements.
Certain of our representatives ate
now In Oregon and will shortly leave
for Washington. It Is desired that
the Information requested above
shall he In the 'hamlH of the State
Chamber . f Commerce at the earl
lent possible mi, in nt fo that a com
pilation of the needa of each section
of Oregon may be prepared for sub
iiiIhIoii to them.

EW HEW FABRICS
No Distinct Changes in Materials
for Spring Wear.
Gabardine, Tricot, Serges, Tricotine,
Tweed, Homespun and Brosdoloth
and Variety cf Silks.
As social life returns to its normal
course more and more thought is given
to dress. It is too early in the season
for any very radical change in fash
ions to lie established, hut it is most
interesting to watch the development
of the individual ideas of the design
ers. There will be no distinct change In
materials, since aa yet very few new
fabrics have been made. A little of
everything Is seen, gabardine, tricot,
serges, tricotine, tweed, homespun and
broadcloth. Among the sil!;s one notes
a great variety and ulso fabrics of
American make that are composed of
silk mid wool with o predominance of
silk. Many new colors will make their
appearance this spring, and there will
be a wider variety to choose from than
)n recent seasons.
The new silhouette Is a matter that
Is uppermost in the minds of the de
signers at the moment. It Is predicted
by a few of those In a position to note
the trend of the times that the mode
will gradually emerge from the ex
treme simplicity of the hist few sea
sons and once again the more compli
cated silhouette will be tn evidence.
The advance models, however, give
no Indication of this change. A major
ity of the tailored suits of summery
aspect are built upon severely plain
lines, slim and straight as those of this
winter. The coat, for Instance, may he
built without the slightest curve at the
waist line and the front left open to
trtiow a i long sweater-like waistcoat
which has no visible fastening. The
skirt Is also straight and slim, and
wUlu there Is a slit at the back to give
Its wearer more comfort In walking the
material crosses over so that the slit Is
not visible.
Very pretty simple one-piece frocks
of silk, tricotine or wool In liht
weight and In light colors or all white
are noted.
A smart little model was fashioned
from a lovely, soft creamy white ftabar
dlne with large collar aud cuffs of
white silk. The frock was caught In
loosely at the waistline by a white silk
cord which tied at the hack aud ex
tended half the skirt length, the ends
being finished with tassels. The back
of the skirt was made with four deep
folds slightly gathered In flounce ef
fect. There are numerous caiie models of
light weight woolen shown for the
benefit of the southern trade. They
lire made In various styles aud of vu
rlous materials.

There is food for thought for Vic
tory Loan Doubting Thomases in the
following excerpts from "AMERICA'S
MUNITIONS" just issued by Major
Benedict Crowe.lI, Asst. Sec't. of War.
The estimated cost of tho ordinance
reijuiied to equip our first five million
men was between $12,000,000,000 and
$13,000,000,000. Since 177!i and April
0th, 1917, ALL appropriations of Con
gress were but $20,000,000,000, Includ
ing five wars and the pensions result
ing from these wars. The total cost
of the ordnance effort to equip our
first five million men amounted to
$12.00 for every hour since the birth
of Christ.
There was never a shortage of
smokeless powder.
Over 2,500,000 shoulder rifles were
produced In the 19 months of our par
ticipation in the war more than
either Kngland or France produced
during that period. The average
monthly production during July, Au
gust and September, 1918, was as fol
lows: Fran(, 40100
England 112.S21
u- s- A 2:13.502
Over three billion rounds of small
arms ammunition were produced and
our speed before the armistice was
twice that of France and 10' greater
than England's.
Our production of machine guns dur
ing the period from April 6, 1917, to
Nov. 11. 1918, was slightly more than
England's and slightly less than
Fiance's. At the end or the war our
rate was twice that of France and
nearly three times aa great as Eag
laud's.
In connection with 7.ri-mllllmeter
hells, 4.250,000 high explosive shell.
fiOO.000 gas shelU and 7.250,000 shrap
sel hud been produced complete by No
vember 11, 1918. A total of 6.250.OOO
rounds of 75-milllmeter ammunition
were tired by American Artillerymen.
8.&00.000 rounds bad been shipped.
