HIGHWAY BE
MADE PICNIC GROUND

Ration, Aug. 3.-The following
communication quoted in part from
a letter by Hon. John Morrow to the
Business Mems Association. was read
at the session last Monday evening
and tabled for future action after re-
|ceiving numerous favorable COM
ments. The idea advanced by the let
ter contains something both feasible
and highly desirable. outlining one
of the best assets this city could have
to attract summer tourists who de-
sire to camp in the mountains.
Il wish to offer as a suggestion
for the consideration of your asso-
ciation," writes Mr.. Morrow, that
the scenic highway be utilized as a
picnic and camping ground both for
Ration people and for tourists travel
ing through Ration. do not believe
there is more desirable spot in the
entire country for camping purposes
frcm June 18th to September 1st
than is to be found along the scenic
highway. 1t will require the cXpend-
iture of few hundred dollars to pipe
water from LINN to one of the sever
al inviting spots available. A tract
of. land. say Of 20 or 80 acres, should
be leased and shaped up for picnic
grounds. Through advertising,
these grounds would become a great
inducemcnt to travelling automobile
parties to camo during the summer
months. | think that in time Chau-
tauqua could be established which
would assist Ration very materially
| merely make this suggestion to call
attention to what can be accom-
plished in the way of bringing peo-
Dle who spend great deal Of money
into our city. l am satisfied that a
thousand dollars will put water on
these grounds and equip them suit
ably for camping purposes.
This matter, together with other
propositions, will be taken UP later
by the association for disposal.

Commission Grants
Rate Increase

Washington, Aug. "a five per
per cent increase in freight rates be-
tween Buffalo and Pittsburgh and
the Mississippi river were granted
today by the interstate commerce
rom mission in decision in the east
ern advance rate case. All increases
east ,of Pittsburgs and Buffalo were
denied. -,.
No increases were granted on lake
and rail rates. All class rate within
the central freight association terri
tory were advanced 5 per cent. Com
modities rate got like advance eX-
cepting coal, coke, brick, tile, clay,
starch, cement, iron ore and plaster.
Commissioners McCord and Dan
iels at the last moment gave dis
senting opinion.
The new rates are expected to In
crease the incomes of railroads ap-
oroximately one and one-half per
cent. All the principal east and west
systems will benefit by the increases
as their lines traverse the territory
affected, the commodities on which
no advances were allowed compose
approximately 35 per cent of the
total volume of the traffic in the CEN
tral territory. The commission held
the income of the railroads was
smaller than is demanded in public
interest, but that no showing had
been made to warrant a general in
crease IN rates.

SPECIMEN ANNUAL WAGES

Colorado coal miner are $500 day.
Suggestion is sometimes made that
such a figure applies only when the
man works-that he doesn't get n
chance to work enough days to earn
good annual wages, and that that is
the real test.
Congressman Kindel. of Colorado,
Apeaking in the House of Rcpresen-
tatives on June 18th, said:

sary attention to the employc and

may be paid for powder, the total for

The correctness of these figures
was proven in an examination made

WHY MINERS OPPOSED A STRIKE
In addition to these earnings, paid
semi-monthly. and the right to trade
where they please. the miners have
an eight-hour day underground and
n checkweighman where they want
1t.
1t is not hard. therefore, to under
stand that they were satisfied with
their conditions and opposed to a
strike.
Neither is it hard to SEQ why no
more than 80 per cent Of the men at
any time quit work. nor difficult to
understand why more than 10 per
cent of the normal quota OF men
should be at work now. in spite OF all
the agitation and effort to foment
strife.

800 % 1000 men to keep up n

HOW THE GERMANS
 CAPTURED NAMUR
TOOK ADVANTAGE OF FOG TC MOUNT AND SIGHT THEl.
 LONG RANGE ARTILLERY.
Simply Slaughtered the BeIgians, Who Could Not Reply With Their Lighter Artillery.

Ostend, Belgium, Sept s, via Lon don, 5:55 D. m.-The remnant of the Namur garrison has arrived here, bringing story which explains to some extent why a stronghold be- lieyed so nearly impregnable fell.
 Of 26,000 men in the forts in the enYirons of Namur, 12,000 have re- turned to Belgian soil, making the Belgian lists at Namur in killed, wounded and missing 14,000.
 It seems that under cover of fog the Germans finally got their new siege guns into position from which they could concentrate their fire OH a single point of the Namur defenses. The guns were at minimum dis tance of three miles from the Bel gian trenches and consequently out ranged the Belgian guns.
 "Without troubling about the forts, said one survivor, the Germans first centered their rain of steel upon our entrenchments. For ten hours our brave young fellows stood the terrible ordeal, unable to fire a shot in re- turn. Any man raising his head above the fire-swept ramparts had it blown off. Lying fiat on our stom- achs, all we could do was to await for the firing to end. Whole regiments were being decimated The loss among our officers was terrible.
 Meanwhile many German guns had been turned on the forts, espe' cial,y Maizeret and Marchoyelette. The men in them armed with guns of much smaller calibre than the Ger mans. could offer but feeble resist ance. Maizeret, in fact, fired only about ten shots, while receiving no Less than 200 shells at the rate of 20 minute.
 At Marchovelette 75 men perished at the batteries and both forts soon surrendered. The other works, how ever, were still holding out when the army left town. So much confidence had been placed in General Michei and his staff's ability to hold the fortress that the eventual retirement of the forces had not been looked for, and as a result the greatest conlu- sion ensued."
 In the retreat the Belgians were continually harrassed by the Ger mans, suffering terrible losses in several engagements.

Throwing Out Protested Game Makes
 Waco and Houston a Tie.

Dallas. Texas, Sept. S-A ruling by Secretary Farrell of the National Baseball Commission today cost Hous- ton the 1914 Texas league pennant, which it was thought that club had won with the close of the season yes. terday. Houston's lead over Waco was a half game or a scant three points. and Waco protested the first game of a double header which Hous- ton won from Austin, in which both games were cut to seven innings by agreement. President w. k. David son. of the Texas league, asked the National Commission for a ruling and Farrell upheld Waco's pre- test when he telegraphed all first games must be nine innings; second games may be seven innings
 This throws out one of Houston's victories and leaves Houston and Waco tied.
