SHEEP BATE TO SUMMER
KANGIE REDUCED 20 PCT.
A matter 'of considerable Interest
to Morrow county sheepmen Is the
recently announced reduction in
freight rates on sheep from eastern
Oregon points to Montana. The
charge In rate was announced here
in a letter from R. L. Ford, general
agent for the Chicago, Milwaukee t
St. Paul Railway Co., at Portland re
ceived by J. A. Funk. The letter
follows:
"I am pleased to Inform you that
oui line has agreed with tho O. W.
I'. & N. to publish a rate on sheep
iu double decked cars to Alberton,
Montana, and intermediate points on
our line as follows:
From Umatilla, $80.00.
From Echo, $85.00.
From Heppner, $100.00.
"This rate to apply in both direc
tions and will take care of any re
tuia movement that there may be.
"For your further information I
will state that on shipments movirig
through to Chicago the through rate
from Oregon shipping points to
Ch'cago is $279.10 based on 22,000
pound minimum. Parties wishing to
range their sheep in the Lolo Forest
Reserve south of Missoula river
should bill to Superior or Alberton
when using C. M. & St. P. account of
Missoula river crossings at these
points."
The new rate amounts practically
to a 20-per cent reduction from the
rate that prevailed last season and
will have a' tendency to make the
Montana range more accessible t'c
Morrow county sheepmen.

"Dishdnesty on Pretty l$:g Scale"
Likely to Be Uncovered by
Senato Committee
Washington, D. C, April 14 Dis
closure of "dishonesty, on a pretty big
scale here and there" in the past
handling of veterans' bureau affairs
was predicted today by Major-Gen-eral
John F. O'Ryan, special counsel
of the senaite investigating commit
tee, who said he based hia statement
on a preliminary survey.
However, he declared, he was im
pressed with the conscientious ef-
orts made - in many directions to
carry out the purpose for which the
bureau was created! Many of the
difficulties encountered which has
brought about adverse criticism, he
said, probably will be traced to in
competence of underpaid employes
entrusted with the expediture of the
vast sums of money.
General O'Ryan expects the com
mittee to begin hearings next week.
Complaints reaching the commit
tee counsel cover most of the ac
tivities of the bureau, but the prin
cipal ones, General O'Ryan said, are
those charging "graft" in the pur
chase of hospital isites, and those
from ex-service men who either have
not received compensation from the
bureau or who are receiving some
but think they are not getting ;
"square deal."
Wherever a clear case of injus''
is shown, General O'Ryan said, he
forwards tho complaint to Director
Hines for action and ' In this way
many faults are being corrected..
Complaints from Individuals, the
committee attorney ald, have
divided into three groups: Those of
complainants having no case; "ordi
nary" cases resulting from an hon
est difference of medical opinion and
those cases where the beneficiary
lives in a remote locality, papers
have been lost, compensation checks
have gone astray, or maladministra
tion is apparent.
To aid him in the silting and in
vestigating process, General O'Ryan
said he had asked and was receiving
tho co-operation of the bar associa
tions In every state. Lawyers are
being designated by these organi
lations who have no connections that
would Inject politics in the investi
gation. If acceptable to the commit
tee's counsel they are then charged
with running down complaints in
their respective localities.
In this way, General O'Ryan .said,
he is able to comb the entire coun
try. All papers, especially those re
lating to complaints of "graft," he
added, are turned over to local in
vestigators with the assurance that
the truth would be developed and
there will be no "axe to grind."
Neither he nor the senate commit
tee, General O'Ryan said, will at
tempt to correct mistakes or injus
tices. These are being called to the at
tention of tho verterans' bureau and
their correction will be left to Di
rector Hines. If anything of a crimi
nal nature is developed, he added, it
will be called to the attention of the
department of justice.
IRRIGON' HIGH SCHOOL
WILL PRODUCE PLAY
The students of the Irrigon high
school will present "All a Mistake."
a three-act comedy, ' at tho high
school auditorium Saturday, April
21st. The scenes of the play take
place at the house and grounds of
Captain Obediah Skinner, which is
otherwise known as "Oak Farm,"
Weschester,. and adjoins the state in
sane asylum. The characters are:
Capt. Obediah Skinner, a retired sea
captain; Lieut. Geo. Richmond, his
nephew, who starts the trouble;
Richard Hamilton, a country gentle
man; Ferdinand Lighthead. who
falls in love, doncherknow; Nellie
Huntington, a friend; Nellie Skinner,
antiquated but still looking for a
man; Nellie Mclntyre, a servant.
The plot: George and wife arrive
at his home expecting to find him dy
ing, but find it a mistake. George
has married unknown to his uncle,
who has threatened to disinherit him
unless he marries Nellie Huntinton.
He pretends that Nellie Huntington
is his wife and that his wife is her
friend. The fact that all the women
aro named "Nellie" creates
greatest contusion imaginable.
Farm" adjjins the insane asylum,
and at last all are mistaken for lunatics.
