BOSTON, Mass., June 3. (Spec

seems to have given the market an
impetus during the last two or three
lay. At any rate, several of the lar
ger worsted manufacturers have been
in the market and have takin fair
weights of wool, so that the total
turnover has been a respectable one,
although early in the week there
was no unusual Interest shown, in

Undoubtedly the fact that the tar

influenced the clothing trade to re
order n i re or l -.s and has cniMn.r-
aged manufacturers themselves to
cover their requirements more or
less against contracts which they al

perhaps feared cancellations if the
emergency tariff failed of passage.
There is no reason to say that pri

were and in a few instances lower
quotations are being given than were

SALEM, Or., June 4. (Special)
The machinery under which the
new state budget law will be opeia
tive is being assembled and oiled up
by Secretary of State Sam A. Kozer.
The law became effective May 2 5.
Frank Meredith, of Salem, has
been employed to put the act in.o
operation. He has compiled a list
of classifical ions which will appear
on blanks to be furnished heads of
all state inst-iiutions- and department
for monthly reports to the secretary
of state, and through him made avail
able to the budget commission. The
personnel of the s'tate board of con
trol which is the governor, the sec
retary of state and the state treasur
er, comprises the commission..
The list of classifications has the

en out by Highway Commissioner
Ilarratt, on his return from the meet
ing of the commision in Portland.
Instead of following the Gale street
route as improved by the city a few
years ago ihe state will follow Main
street to the pld wooden bridge at
the north end of that thorough fare
and from there will cut directly
through the Mellaley estate coining
into the highway again just north of
the Tri-State Warehouse. This route
will cut off about three acres of the
McHaley land which is to be secured
by the city and will be at once im
proved for an auto tourist camping
ground. The new bridges above re

this means of expressing my thanks
to the people of Heppner and Mor

this period of unusual business de

been a time in Heppner's history
