With 10,000 men shortage In logging camps, this call will increase the labor famine. The Portland public dock and warehouse commission has asked for an increase in salaries and to have tax levy raised from six-tenths to nine tenths of a mill.

The plant will be moved to North Yakima, Wash,, and another plant will be built near Medford if sufficient acreage is guaranteed. The railroads propose to see that the crops of the northwest are prop erly handled this year and are coop erating with the government to that end. Plans have been perfected and J. D. Farrell, president of the O-W. R. & N. Co. is looking after this end of the work In the Northwest. Under him there Is no question but that real results will be obtained. New Army Officers Are Highly Praised Amor lean Lake Commanders Have Wonderful Ability, Says Frank Cronan. That the men who are officering the new army gathering at Camp Lewis, American Lake, are men of wide understanding and wonderful respest and admiration of the new soldiers, is the statement of Frank E. Cronan, young lone banker whose wife was formerly Miss Muriel Sallng of this city and who was among those sent from Morrow county on Septem ber 19. In a letter to a local friend he sounds enthusiastic praise of con ditions in the big army camp. "At he present there are about 30,- 000 men here and we will have al most 60,000 next month. It is a real city in itself, long streets of barracks all very orderly and well kept. We are very well taken care of and are very pleasantly surprised as we did not expect very much." On arriving at the camp all of the new soldiers go through a receiving station and are then assigned to a company. They then get the ground ings of infantry drill and are very busy from 5:45 a. m. until 5:30 p. m. . The non-commissioned officers are to be taken out of the ranks, he states, which means there is an op portunlty for every man who enters the camp. Mr. Cronan Is a member of Co. C, No. 347 Machine Gun Bat tery. Pendleton E. O. Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Tash returned recently from a visit of a couple of weeks with old friends at Walla Walla. Mr. Tash lived at Walla Walla in the early days, along about 1862, when the mining excitement at Ora Flno, Idaho, was at its height. At that time the metropolis of the Columbia basin was a very small vil lage, but a tough one, withal, and Mr. Tash is able to recall many interest ing events that transpired in those days. He thinks Walla Walla is a mighty fine little city at this time and there is of course nothing left to re mind one of the pioneer days. Roy Whltels made a business trip Into the Monument country last week returning on Friday. He states that people are progressing nicely over that way and he noted much .evl dence of prosperity. A new bridge is being constructed over the John Day at Monument which makes it neces sary that the river be forded at the present time, and Mr. Whltels states that many an automobile gets strand ed in the middle of the stream with a flooded carbureter. The new bridge will be ready for traffic In a short time. F. Adams and wife of lone were in Heppner Saturday. Mr. Adams Is tin experienced farmer and desires to get hold of a small farm to run for a term of years. He wants a furnished place and says that he can make good. Addiess him at lone. Food Conservation Campaign The campaign for enlisting the people in the food conservation or ganisation is well under way. En thusiastic reports are coming in from many counties. Morrow county must make the right kind of a showing. Blanks have been sent out to the different school clerks in the county upon which they are asked to report the names of the heads of the house holds in their respective districts. It will not take long to make this re port, and it Is hoped that these re ports will be sent in this week. State Superintendent Churchill Is planning to have a large part of the work done by the schools of the state. The teachers and pupils will have a chance to demonstrate their patriotism In very practical way. Under the direction of the teachers the pupils will distribute the enroll ment cards. Later they will collect the enrollment cards, and distribute the membership cards. The member ship cards are to be displayed in the windows of the homes, and they will be a symbol of the patriotism and co operation of the homes in which they are displayed. . The enrollment will be made the week beginning Oct. 21. By a united effort we hope to enroll close to 100 per cent, of the homes in this county. In some districts it may be impossi ble for the pupils to cover the entire district. In such districts, the wo men will be asked to assist, and they will have the authority to draft any men who may be needed. Here is a chance for every CHILD and every ADULT to enlist in the ser vice of the country. Let us see that Morrow county stands at the top in the enlistment. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, By S. E. Notson, Chairman. DRAFT SLACKERS ARE LISTED AS DESERTERS Portland, Or., October 2. Every man who failed to report to his local exemption board for military service when notified to do so is listed in the army draft records as a deserter. A reward of $50 in cash will be paid for the delivery of any such deserter to the nearest army camp or post. Notification of this reward and in structions to begin at once a state wide hunt to round up slackers of this type have been received by the Ad jutant General from the Provost Mar shal General at Washington. The instructions emphasize that the reward will be paid over upon de livery of the deserter, regardless of whether he is able to prove later that his failure to report was not wilful. The $50 is to include expenses in curred in the delivery. Though Oregon has a much better record in this respect than most other states, there are about 30 or $1500 worth of this kind of slacker-deserter In the state at present, that number of men who were called having failed to report to their local exemption boards. Their quick apprehension and delivery to the military author ities is on the programme. If ordnary methods do not prove adequate to run them down, individ ual descriptions and pictures of each man wanted will be sent out through the state. To permit one of these deserters to defy the call to military Bervlce would be unfair to every other man already drafted, or subject to draft. The military authorities are de sirous that every police officer and individual citizens as well join in the campaign to catch these deserters and turn them over to the military authorities for punishment. Of course, there are some cases where failure to report may have been Unavoidable. The Government is determined to round up every de serter but It has no desire to be harsh with men who can prove that their failure to report was not wilful. "If, after such persons are brought to a military authority," says the In structions on this point, "it appears to the military authority that their delinquency is not wilful, they will be forwarded to a mobilization camp and their local board will be given credit. "If it appears that the delinquency was wilful, they will be prosecuted before court martial as deserters. "In either case the reward is payable." Walter Hayes is home after an ab sence of several months. He enlisted In the Navy and went Into training at San Diego but was compelled to give up the work on account of his feet go ing fiat. He received his discharge somu time ago. Lester Ingram left on Thursday last for Prescott, Arizona, where he expects to remain for the winter. Mr. Ingram suffers from asthma and has found it necessary to seek another climate. Mrs. Ingram will join her husband at a later date, when he has become permanently settled.
