THE DANUBE LOSES VOLUME.
Several Industries Threatened bv Riy-

berlin, Sept. 9.-After 10 years Of
close observation the river authorities
or southern Germany have come to
the conclusion that the upper Danube
is losing volume from wear to wear
and that the change is such that it
Will be matter of only a few decades
before several industries on the
stretch OF river above Clm are COM
p!etely ruined in consequence. 1t is
SAID that already the loss during the
last few years is equal to several
hundred thousand dollars. Near Sig
maringen is a water mill erected in
1917, when it was in constant use and
received constant power from the
stream. Owing to the fall in the
stream 1T is now able to work ONLY in
autumn and winter. and in dry sum-
mers it can be used less than half
the days or the year. Thus in the
years with dry summers. 1898. 1907.

which can have little effect on the
lower Danube owing to the constancy
OF the larger tributaries, lies in a phe
nomenon in physical geography which
can best be explained by saying that
one river is rObbing another Euro

and biologists are fond of quoting the
question of the Meuse Valley. and
English geologists have the classic

TELLS LABOR ASSEMBLY DENVER
THAT ORTIE M'MANIGAL AID.
MITTED TO HIM THAT HIS so.
CALLED CONFESSION WAS FALSE
[rN1rrn pnpss 1nAsrn w1nr. !

Denver, Jan. 29.-John j. McNa-
namara is innocent Of completely in
the destruction of the Los Angeles
Times building, according to Judge o
N. Hilton, Of Denver.
This statement was made before the
Denver Trades and Labor Assembly
by Judge Hilton, who declared thai
his conclusion was based on evidence
he had collected while in Los Ange-
les, and on information which had
reached him since he returned home.
Before giving in detail his reasons for
believing in the innocence of John Nc
Namara, Judge Hilton asked the assem-
bly, to go into executive session, de-
claring that he did not want the Los
Angeles grand jury to learn knowledge
oil the facts in the case.
Fear accordingly to Judge Hilton,
Ia what led the elder Mcnamara to
plead guilty to the charges. McNa-
mara believed, Hilton said, that II the
trial continued he would be found
guilty and hanged.
Hilton contends that after he had
been engaged to defend the brothers
he visited Los Angeles and interviewed
Ortie McManigal, and that the latter
admitted to him that his confession
was false from beginning to end. Hill
ton also declared that he believed Nc
Manigal was telling the truth when he
said his confession was false.
In concluding his remarks, Judge
Hilton announced that John McNa-
mara's innocence soon would be
proved.

"Will you please make It known
that this company proposes to imme-
diately construct a cutoff, about six

Announcement Well Received.
The announcement of an extension
Of the Southern Pacific railroad from
Salem eastward to give direct line
to silverton, and to connect with the
Woodburn and Springfield branch was
welcomed at Salem as an additional
proof Of the determination Of the Har.
riman system to make this the rail-
road center Of the valley. It. is well
understood that this is only the first
Of a series Of branch lines to connect
the Capital City with all the import
ant places IL The ya.icy-, and moro ss-
peclally McMlnnvllle and Stayton.
The company has been quietly getting
the right Of way east Of the city, and
assembling It's material at Salem for
the construction work, which will be
pushed at once.
Other Salem Improvements.
Superintendent Campbell has also
taken steps for improving the grounds
at the passenger station, and is labor
ing to secure an appropriation In the
budget for 1912 to construct a fine
passenger station at Salem. The s. p.
is electrlfying all It's West Side lines
and motor cars will be buzzlng across
the valley before long connecting sa-
lem and all principle cities with in
terurban service With a bridge
across the river at Salem, and east
and west lines terminating here, the

cannot be oyerestimated at present. II
also means that the s. p. company will
fight to retain It's local business in
this city, large part Of which has

there is a wise and careful manage

Already tickets enough have been
sold to make this affair an assured
success-but as many others have
expressed their desive to attend, the
