E LARGELY DUE TO Towns of State Show Huge Indebtedness Mainly Contracted in Prosperous Times, Says Commission Oresham Halsry Hubbard JscksonvlUe Jefferson Junction City , Klamath Palls . Lebanon .. Malln Marshfleld Maupln w , Meutora Merrill Mllwaukt, Molalla Monroe Mt. Angel PLAGUED BY IMPS HOUSTON, Texas (UP) When a mosquito has malaria, he (or she) also has mumps, according to Dr. C. P. Coogle, malarlaloglst for the United States Public Health service. Dr. Coogle Is supposed to know more about malaria than any other man in the United States, and pos sibly in the world. He admits that he has studied the ailment exclusively for 17 years. "When a mosquito bites someone with malaria," he Bald, "the malaria parasites go Into the mosquito's stom ach, where they reproduce and pass Into the salivary glands. These glands become swollen, and the' mosquito then has what In humans is called the mumps. When the mosquito bites again, the victim gets the malaria parasites." Coogle said malaria generally was considered to be the most prevalent communicable disease along the Gulf coast, causing more economic loss than any other disease, but compara tively few ratalltles. The malaria death rate Is highest among babies, he said. SALEM, Ore. (UP) A great pro portion of Oregon's high property tax delinquency springs from heavy in debtedness of Oregon municipalities, reports the state tax commission. At the beginning of this year mu nicipalities of the state had an aggre gate Indebtedness of ' a76.209.471, against an assessed valuation of S528. 906,387. Municipal debts came to 14.41 per cent of valuation, while 6chool district bonds and other forms of obligations bring the gross per centsge to 18.57. Willamette Towns Lowest. In general, reports the commission, indebtedness Is lowest In Willamette valley towns, highest In the coast re gions. This Is accounted for by the fact most Willamette valley towns are based principally on agricultural In dustry, which has remained more stable than the lumber industry of the coast area. Highest Indebtedness In the state is that of Warrenton In Clatsop county. Warrenton has a population of 683, municipal debt of (599.110. Assessed valuation of the town is 82 1,831. but high school bonds and other forma of Indebtedness bring the total to 92.71 per cent of valuation. Some Out or Debt. Numerous small towns of the state are entirely out of debt, while In debtedness of others la negligible. Most obligations were Incurred In relatively prosperous times, when taxes were usually paid and Oregon did not foresee the depression.

Old Stream Bed Is Objective OLD WATER TANK By United press CENTERVILLE. Cal. While many of the world's foremost mining engi neers shake their heads dubiously, W. L. Lei and is directing operations at the California Treasury Box gold mine which may revolutionize all previously conceived mining theories. Backed by a lifetime of gold hunt ing and engineering. Lei and is pre paring to start hydraulic operations miles underground to tap a hitherto unreachable source of the precious yellow metal. Grimy, perspiring miners swing picks monotonously and unceasingly in a tunnel under and paralleling the widely known Mammoth Channel, where Butte creek twists and turn-' bles through the rugged hills 15 miles east of Chlco. Already, they have hewed through more than three-fourths of a mile of stubborn lava. As they advance toward Mammoth Channel, an an cient burled river channel considered aa large as the vast Columbia river bed. the workers blast away boulders and erect timbers. The work proceeds despite the warning of experts who claim under ground hydraulic mining through ground that requires timbering la Impossible. Located approximately 139 feet be low Mammoth Channel, the tunnel eventually will be upraised into that chasm burled unknown centuries ago when tons of lava seared scorching paths down mountain aides and filled the stream beda A reservoir has been constructed at the tunnel portal. From there water will be piped to the old chan nel and released with terrific force against walls of the underground gorge, which previously have been blasted. A specially constructed steel flume will carry the gravel and water out of the tunnel. Lei and expect to run aa high aa 3000 carload per day through the flume. Machinery and present operations have cost Leland and his associates thousands of dollars, but he la confl dent expenditures will be more than Justified. Butte creek la the only stream which has been able to cut through the lava and reach this un derground channel and Immense wealth has been taken from its sands and gravels. Leland believes most of the gold found In Butte creek country has come from the channel he seeks to tap. but at a higher point. Be be lieves his operatlona will carry him Into virgin gold-bearing sands. Other men connected with this unique attempt to wrest wealth from another of nature's Jealously guard ed treasure chests Include I. N Dally, Seattle, who has leased an option to mine the upper two and one-halt miles of Mammoth Channel; R. O. Percy, mining superintendent; Re B. Goodcell, widely known Los An geles attorney and former San Ber nardino county superior Judge and Internal revenue collector, who is company president, and 8. H, Percy, vcmura, vice-president. AS DIVER'S SUIT WAUKESHA, Wis. (UP) A diver's helmet constructed from an old hot water tank has been given Its first successful tests by its two youthful builders here. The two youths who made the helmet are Earl Schley and Larry Knoebel. The helmet, which weighs 70 pounds, in its first tests in Pewau kee lake and an abandoned stone quarry, was taken to depths of 25 feet. Later in the Waukesha public swimming pool the lads were able to correct several defects which became apparent In the shallow water. The young Inventors made their diving helmet by cutting out the bot tom and sides of the boiler, leaving apertures for the wearer's arms. A square hole then was cut In one end and a piece of windshield glass was soldered Into place. The air aupply Is furnished by 60 feet of garden hose fastened to a pipe on the helmet that was used for the cold water Inlet on the tank. The other end of the hose Is connected to two double action force pumps which furnish the air. When the helmet Is used It Is placed on the head and shoulders of the wearer, and the pumps started. The diver steps from a small boat, and the weight of the helmet car ries him to the bottom, where he is able to walk about unhampered. The air forced into the helmet escapes under the sides. A flying machine gun, spitting smoke and flame as It dives out of a cloud, is the new Insignia of the 79th pursuit squsdron at Barksdale field, Louisiana. 9.90 11.48, 92.71 10 69 - j 8 99 i i 1 i ITTTlf BIU.VS STAYING n,,, , , YOU SAY THAT TO IUNCH.
