TEMPORARY ExPEplENT.
Assessments Necessary to Pay ths
Death Losses Of the Order.

Death Losses Of the Order.
The recent death assessments by the
Oregon Grand lodge, A. o. u. w. Is
merely temporary TO enable the order
TO wipe out the $4,000 debt occasloned
by death losses during the past year, IL
the opinion OF Newton CLARK. recorder
of the grand lodge OF oregon For the
past two months u double assessment
came regularly. TO the dismay OF those
holding memberships in the order, and
some were on the verge of Withdrawing
as result. II Ia said that without
doubt the double assessments will con-
tnue for two more months, when the
former rates will he resumed.
"The additional assessments are
necessary TO pay our death losses dur
ing the past year" said Mr.. Clark.
"The finance committee will probably
levy them for two months more, when
II will be possible TO be back on the for
mer basis. There is no reason for un-
easiness among the members Of the
order on this account, as It means
simply that the order Is paying It's
debts and will soon be on firmes
foundation than ever.
"It is expected to adopt new basis
of assessment by next year, whereby
the contributions will pay all costs Of
the order. This may increase the as
sessments about one-third. Action viii
be had at the next grand lodge. which
meets in Portland In July, and an ef-
fort win be made to get an adequate
rate established. Until that is done
double assessments must be made to
pay the death losses during the past
year, as the regular dues are not SUM-
Client to do so. Indebtedness of about
$4,000 had to be assumed, but this
will soon be wiped out"

Toxic Celebrates Last
Day OF Fete.

Paris Jan. AFTER comforting with
Foreign Minister Belcasse, leading
diplomat said today that mediation
between the Japanese ana Russia
would be unaccepted as Russia is now
as was the north after the defeat OF
Bull Run.
The belief Is growing that Great
Britain's anxiety regarding mediation
Is not dlsinterested. A British official
recently said: II Europe or America
will not intervene, Japan and Russia
can make terms of peace without con-
sulting Europe or America"
This leads diplomats to say that
Great Britain is less desirlous of peace
than to secure a voice In the terms of
peace.

Toxic, Jan. (Noonl.-In naval cir

Pacific squadron is not regarded as a
sign that Russia does not hope for final

A naval officer said to the Associated
Press correspondent today:

1t would have been a splendid fight
Now we must prepare for the future

Mrs. Chadwick Can Not See Anyone
While in Jail.
Cleveland, O., Jan. Judge Wing of
the United States district court today
abrogated the recent order that no per-
son may be allowed to see Mrs. Chad
wick without writ signed by the
United States marshal on the ground
of conflict of rules for the conduct Of
the sheriff made by the judges of the
court Of common pleas.
The decision places Mrs. Chadwick
absolutely under the jurisdiction Of the
sheriff while she Is confined in the
county jail. 4
This is a ruling that has for some
time been awaited by the local officers
on account of the many applications
made by the friends of DR., Chadwick
and Mrs. Chadwick.
The effect will be to curtail all cor.
respondence with the prisoner.
