The district manager of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance has already ap pointed a clean-up squad for each of our three states. Each squad consists of a medical examiner, compensation And Insurance claims contact examiner and a third member selected from the otilce of the District War Risk office, together with a representative of the American Legion and American Red Cross. The squads will visit all the coun ties throughout our three states, prob ably muking their headquarters In the county seatB, which are In most Instan ces the Chapter headquarters as well as the headquarters of the posts of the American Legion. The particular func tion of the lied Cross and Legion rep resentatives on the clean-up squads will he to establish class liaison service for the preparation of duta for claimants; to create and promote In the community visited a bettor understanding of the necessity for the work In question; to formulate plans In places visited by which a continual and united effort will be made to render assistance to ex service men where needed.

And he can remain station ary In spite of a lot of thinking If that thinking happens to be basically faulty Most people in thinking are like pros pectors. They keep restlessly and end lessly on. tapping at the rocks of Ideas and sifting the sands of Inspiration. Mostly they encounter unprofitable workings, but now and again they come to the glitter of precious prom ise. They spilt an Idea and And tri umphantly a vein of rich ore. Or they striko deep with thought Into the sands of Inspiration and come upon nugget" and Hakes of gold which repay Ihem for years of unrewnrdod mental tramping. And thinking is always a habit. A man may have a stay-at-home mind or an Intellect that Jumps over fences and out of windows. The stay-at-home mind Is apt to give the least troulle,( to vex the body least. The venture some mind leads the body Into all sorts of trials and tests, but It is the mind that gives the world worth-while achievements. ' Every man decides for himself wheth er he will coop up his mind In a cage and feed It through the bats or wheth er he will give It the freedom that la necessary for his own development , American Legion Weekly.

A demonstration of public hydro electric development Is going on In the province of Ontario, Canada, which merits and is receiving the attention uf power experts and similarly ambi lioned states and provinces every where. What has happened, briefly, Is the electrification of a great province by a public, commission. It has created the largest electrical generating and dis tribution system in the world. It now uses 315,000 horsepower, and is add ing the new Chippewa plant on the Ni agara with an Initial capacity of 300, 100 horsepower and an ultimate ca pacity of 1,000,000 horsepower. Within three years the commission expects to be serving 1,400,000 horse power In a district bounded by the Ottawa valley on the east, the Detroit river on the west and from Lake Erie and Ontario on the south to the regions north of Lake Superior. Power, light and heat are furnished to 181 munici palities, divided Into 12 districts. Pow er Is carried from Niagara to Windsor, a distance of 250 miles, and the rates in that city of 25,000 people are said to be 10 per cent lower than In Detroit with its million Inhabitants, Just across the international boundary line. In Ottawa the citizens had been pay ing a private company, which the hydro-electric power commission of On tario took over, 15 cents a kilowatt hour for light and $40 a horsepower. Under public operation the charge was reduced to $25 a horsepower for Indus tries and to 7 1-2 cents a kilowatt hour for light. Power and light are distributed In the rural districts. Farm homes are lighted and silos are filled through the edlum of electric current. The com mission keeps In touch with 20 water plants and the generating system un der Its control by the aid of 2000 miles of private wires. From a fairly modest beginning the commission haB acquired plant equip ment valued at 156,923.000. Plants own ed by constituent municipalities under the commission are valued at $24,298, S70. The administration offices nnd other buildings are worth Sl.OOO.MO. An Investment of J15.000.000 was made In the development of power by the commission on the Canadian side of Niagara. The assets of the commission total $106,600,000. The story of how the province of Ontario became the loading Industrial district of Canada through the impetus given by publicly developed power Is staggering In the str.6 of the Borvlce rendered and the figures of cost, op oration and return. In the Columbia basin are 21.000,- 000 potential hydro-electric horsepower. In Oregon the potential horsepower exceeds 7,000,000. Celllo rapids on the Columbia. If developed, would produce 180,000 horsepower, and an additional 320,000 horsepower for eight months of the vear. Some 200,000 horsepower could bo developed at the Cascades of the Columbia. Has anyone sufficient grasp of the subject to visunllze what would happen Industrially If tho Ontario plan of pow er development were applied to the water power of the Columbia basin? County Judge Campbell Is on a trip over to Union county this week. On his return home he will endeavor to in touch with the forest office at Pendleton and nsccrtaln if It Is not possible to get some of the forest road money Bpent in this county in the Im provement of the Heppner-Rltter road nnd somo others.

Barclay's great novel "The Mistress of Shenstone," will wel come the news that In Its screen adapt ation by Robertson-Cole, as a super special vehicle for the sterling emo tional actress Pauline Frederick, not a fragment of Its atmosphere, or the delicacy of Its character delineation has been lost Miss Frederick In the role of Lady Myra Ingleby, Is as truly Lady Ingle- by, as If Mra Barclay had written the character about her. Even in her phys ical appearance, she fits the descrip tion of the blg-souled English woman who faces life's tragedies with a smile and at last finds happinesa Indeed, throughout the entire pro duction, it Is noticeable that Henry King, the director, has striven and has succeeded in following closely the book from which the play was adapted. The cast in support of Miss Frederick Is an excellent one. "The Mistress of Shenstone" comes to the Star theater I-iday, September !. Transfer Hutne.s Caasffe Heads. Beginning witri today, A. Z. Barnard retired from the freight transfer busi ness in the city, after having the own ership of the same for the past seven yeara He has sold the business to W. J. Beamer and Albert Williams and he new owners are on the Job. Mr. Will iams has been in the employ of Mr. Barnard for several years and is well versed in the business, while for a num ber of years Mr. Beamer was engaged In the express nnd delivery business In Heppner, so the two make a good com bination. Mr. Barnard has retained his large truck and expects to still engage; in heavy hauling. Just at present thej truck is being used as a water wagon and hauls the street sprinkler but Mr. Barnard thinks he will have plenty of other uses for It after he has got to the end of the sprinkling season. He has enjoyed a very good business In the handling of freight and other hauling in Heppner and now retires feeling that he has made a success of the venture. Messrs. Beamer and Williams will no doubt contiuue to keep up the gfbod rep utation established by Mr. Barnard, and the public of Heppner can expect such at their hands. CARD OF THANKS. We desire to thank our friends and neighbors for the generous and unstint ed aid nnd sympathy rendered us in our hour of sorrow and bereavement In the death of our daughetr and sister. MR. and MRS. E. M. SHUTT, LAWRENCE SHUTT. W. H. Clark and family arrived from Sweden, Missouri on Tuesday. Mr. Clnrk has been living In the "show me" state for the past two years or more, owning quite a farm there, but he Is back to Morrow county to stay, he thinks. He also states that there are a great many people living In. that part of the country who are Interested In Morrow county and hope later on to be able to move here. Mr. Clark says that if we had Just one-fourth of the annual rainfall In this county that they exper I ience In that part of Missouri, we would have the most wonderful country on earth, but there it seems to do little good on account of the peculiar nature of the soil, and the successful raising of crops is dilllcult and requires a vast amount of work. Mr. Clark Is looking for nn opening here and desires very much to become once more Identified with ihe Interests of Morrow county. For a great many years he resided on Butter creek and followed ranching. Philip S. Bates, formerly editor of the Pacific Northwest and for many years secretary of the Oregon State Editorial Association and widely known over the stale, died at Good Samaritan hospital in Portland on Monday forenoon from an attack of diphtheria. His illness ' was of very short duration, the disease bringing on heart complications and causing him to sink rapidly. He was burled nt Rlverview cemetery In Port land on Wednesday.

T1 Kir COtWffiQHV 1911 P"JB AinXASTB SERV CO. Salem, Oregon, September 1st Spe cial) Fifty ' thousand application blanks for making application for the Oregon State Loan and Bonus which was voted to Oregon's ex-service men by the people last June, are now being distributed to every part of the state. These blank forms, upon which the ap plicants must establish their eligibility for the bonus, are being sent to Ameri can Legion Posts of which there are 104 In the state with the request that the posts give them to all eligible ex service men. This action was taken by the state bonus commission In order to save con siderable time In getting the bonus and loan Into the hands of the ex-service men. The Initial bond Issue of $5,000, 000 already Is being floated. Bids are to be opened October 10th and the com mission expects to have money ready by November 1st. By having the appli cations come In early the commission hopes to have a large number of checks ready for distribution the moment the funds are realized from the bond sale. The commission has taken steps to interest the bond buying market of the entire United States. The bonds are to be sold at par or above and not to exceed six per cent Interest and the commission expects to sell at an Inter est rate of about five and one-half per cent The administrative force to handle this big task of passing upon appli cations has already been created In the U. S. National Bank Bldg. at Salem, headed by Harry C. Brumbaugh, an overseas veteran. The necssary funds for an energetic administration of the law have also been provided. Commis sioners say that the loan feature, which appeals to a majority of the ex-service men, necessarily will be a slower pro cess but that the commission will con tinue Its past policy of avoiding any and all avoidable delays. Only an unexpected suit to test the constitutionality of the law will now prevent payment of several thousand claims In November. Such a suit has not been launched by the commissioners because of their belief In the constitu tionality of the law and failure of the bonds to sell alone might make a suit necessary. Commander R. E. Crego of the local American Legion Post Is in receipt of a supply of the application blanks and Is ready to lend assistance to all ex- service men in this community who may desire to apply for either a bonus or a loan. To Ksiahlish Office at Arlington. This paper Is advised that Messrs. F. A. McMenamln and A. J. Frits have formed a law partnership and arranged to open an office at Arlington, which will be In charge of Mr. Frits, who will go to that city and open the office Just as soon as all arrangements have been completed, Mr. McMenamln continuing the office at this place. Mr. Frits was admitted to practice In Indiana and practiced there until he enlisted in the service of Uncle Sam during the re cent war, and after his discharge he came to Portland, where he was in the employ of the Title & Trust companv ns an examiner of titles, a position he held until coming to this city In the employ of Mr. McMenamln about a year ago. He has been admitted to practice In the courts of this state, and now ex pects to remain here and follow his profession. The Misses James entertained with a slumber party at the James resi dence on Tuesday evening. They had as their guests the Misses Evelyn Hum phreys, Elizabeth Huston, Alma Devin, nnd Ruth Tash. Prof. .Tames delivered a very Interesting account of this par ty to the editor of this paper, and we are now fully enlightened as to Just what a "slumber party" is, and we guess it is perfectly named. The main thing. In a party of this nature Is to keep from getting any sleep during the night on tho part of the participants nnd to be sure that the rest of the family are regularly disturbed in their slumbers, and such a party Is always greatly enjoyed by the head of the family.

Oregon's 12S ex position will be given Its state-wide significance, when a conference of rep resentatives of every county la the state will be held In the Multnomah hotel In Portland on September I. Gov ernor Olcott haa reverted back to the war days In the selection of the com mittee, believing that those leaders In each county who so successfully served to place Oregon to the forefront Id all Liberty Loan and other war works, would be best adapted to devise waya and means for financing the great Ore gon exposition. In addition to calling for the cooperation of the war leader in each county, the Government has In creased the number of counsellor at the meeting by requesting several state-wide organizations to send three delegates each. All of the preliminary work In build ing up the tonudatlon for the exposi tion organisation was done by the peo ple of Portland, but aa soon aa congress passed the bill authorising the expo sition and It was signed by President Harding, thus giving the exposition the governmental recognition which Insur ed Its success, Governor Olcott acted upon a pre-determlned plan to have some of the best brains In the state to get together and put in effect an effic ient cooperative plan which would pro vide the finances necessary for the suc cessful building up of the exposition. The meeting ot September will de termine the financial scope of the ex position and the best means for raising the money; it doubtless will endeavor to provide a mean by which every hamlet village, town and city In the state will have Its part In the exposi tion, that every section of the state may be represented In the undertaking, the greatest movement In the history of Oregon for the cementing of Interests of the state In a grand plan for Its exposition. The representatives of the various counties, aa appointed by the governor, follows: T. G. Montgomery, Baker; A. J. John son, Benton; D. C. Latourette, Clack amas; G. W. Sanborn, Clatsop; 8. C.

Barratt member of the state highway commission, who arrived in Portland yesterday to attend today's meeting. "It would be a mistake to permit our organization to go to pieces before the laterals were built, for the building up of a new organization later would be a costly affair. With another $10,000, 000 the road programme would be so far advanced that Its benefits would reach out In every direction and then the work could be taken more easily." Oregonian.

Hunters who shoot men, mistaking them for deer, should be guilty of a major criminal offense, In the opinion of Captain A. E. Burghduff, state gam warden. Mr. Burghduff believes that such hunters are guilty of "criminal carelessness" and that their acts should be punished aa such. "A hunter who shoots at a man thinking he la a deer Is entitled to no consideration," said Captain Burghduff yesterday. "The game code provide that only deer with horns may be kilt ed. If a hunter Is willing to observe the law and look closely enough to see whether a moving object haa horns, then he won't shoot a man by mistake Law Is Not Regarded. "A thousand reasons could be given hy accidental shooting Is crimln' carelessness and shows a willingness on the part of the man who does the shooting to violate the law of the state. "I believe that on account of the ease by which these accident can be avoid ed there should be & measure passed which would make this a major criminal offense. Of course, nothing can be dons until the next session of the legisla ture. Previous legislature have been averse to passing anything so drastic. but I think the time has coma when such steps will have to be taken." Code Reduces Fatalities. The passage of the code In 1911 pro viding that only deer with horns may be killed has appreciably reduced the number of bunting accidents, according to Mr. Burghduff, although the number of fatalities and accident ,1s still much too large .There are usually three to five fatalities each year. 'Some hunter are so willing to vio late the law that they will hunt dur ing the closed season and several ser ious accidents have been the result of the carelessness ot these men who are openly defying the law." Violator Kills CostBsatoa. '1 remember that one year a party of us went the day before the season opened Into the mountains so as to be on hand early on the morning of the first day of the season. W arrived at camp just after dusk and down the trail toward us came a man running and almost crazy. He had killed hi hunting companion. They had been hunting on the day before the season opened and this man had been ready to shoot Into the brush at any moving ob ject He came to as for sympathy, but he didn't get it" Hssslaugktrr Is Suggested. Mr. Burghduff stated that In two or three eastern states It la manslaugh ter offense to kill a man through this type of carelessness. In the state of New Jersey there are so many hunter considering vus size of the state, that the laws provide that only shotgun may be used by hunters, with specified sizes of shot This makes It necessary for the hunt ers to come so close to the game that they rarely shoot at anything but leg itimate game. Ben Swaggart Has Fruitful Year on South End Farm Ben Swaggart reports a very prolific year on his ranch.
