old man has been identified with
the development OF Oregon. For al

the state. and during that time has
formed a personal acquaintance with
almost every man OF political conse

mouth of the Columbia, and OF all
these, who have known him inti-
mately for years, not one could be

plain and rugged honesty. His tradu-

his private life Mr.. Hermann has

him during the two score of years
in which he has been before the peo.

CONCERN OVER PERSIA
GERMANS FEAR FOR THEIR IN.

BERLIN. December 21.-The German
official view of the Persian imbroglio,
based upon dispatches received from
Teheran. is that the situation still is

nature of these is not known here.
If the shah yields to parliament the
crisis can be regarded as settled. Or
