No STEPS YET TO
PREVENT A SALE
TOLEDO CREDITORS HAVE NOT
FURNISHED BOND AS
REQUIRED.
SALE SCHEDULED ON TUESDAY
Toledo Faction Had Not Decided Up
to Last Night Whether to Furnish
Bond of $125,ooo or Permit Sale to
Go On and Then Fight it Out

The News Is In possession of in
formation, which it believes is accu.
rate, to the erect of which means that
the proposed sale OF the plants of the
Yaryan Naval Stores company, sched-
uled to occur In this city on Tues
day next and in Gulfport on April IA,
will occur in accordance with the ad-
vertisements While it Is true that
the Toledo creditors, etc, have ap-
pealed from the ruling of Judge Shep-
pard in the matter of allowing this
sale, and while it is also true that
this appeal has been filed in the Of
flee OF the clerk OF the United States
court for the southern district OF
Georgia at Savannah, still there is
another horn to the dilemma. In order
to stop this advertised sale OF the
plants at Brunswick and Gulfpert 1t
will be necessary for those so moving
to file supersedeas bond In the sum
of $125,000 and up to a late hour
last night, such bond had not been
filed with Judge Sheppard In Pensa-
very doubtful II such bond will be
rendered to the court on Monday.
The fact OF the matter Is that the
only new development in the case was
the fixing OF the amount OF this sup
ersedeas bond by Judge Sheppard,
which was done several weeks ago,
but was only published In certain
newspapers In Georgia and Florida on
Friday, which has given rise to con-
siderable erroneous discussion and ru-
mors on the subject.
That there will be contest over
the entire corpus OF the estate of the
Yaryan company there is no question
and that 1t will in all events be
fought out in perhaps two appellate
courts Is equally true, but 1t may be,
and very likely will be, the policy
OF those coE:esting the jurisdiction OF
the Georgia court to permit the sale
to occur on Tuesday as advertised and
then try out the contested points af-
terwards
1t is definitely known that the To-
ledo parties In the litigation have not
yet concluded whether or not the su-
persedeas bond will be filed with
Judge Sheppard on Monday, as above
stated, or whether the property will
be permitted to go to sale on the
following day, 1t is pointed out that
the rights OF the contesting parties
will be preserved by the appeal, duly
filed and allowed just as well without
the hazardous necessity of giving
bond in the sum of $125,000 to stop
the sale OF the plants. The Toledo
people, as late as last night, were will
ing to permit the sale to go on as
advertised, but will determine that
point perhaps tomorrow,
J. e. Bradley, one of the late re-
ceivers of the Yaryan company, re-
turned to the city yesterday from an
absence Of several weeks in the east.
lie is here to attend the sale on Tues
day and 1t Is understood that num-
Der of prospective bidders for the
property will reach the city tomorrow
and Tuesday. Mr.. Bradley is cheerful
over the situation and believes that
n time things will work out salts
factorily.

HANDSOME YACHT IN PORT.
The Vencedor, Owned by Lawrence
Jones, With Capt Nelson, Master.

The handsome power yacht, Vence-
der, owned by Lawrence Jones, of
Louisville, KY, is now in port for an
overhauling and is being ps1nted and
repaired at the Parker-Hensel plant.
The Vencedor, one of the prettiest
and trimmest craft seen in Brunswick
during the winter season just closing,
has length of 100 feet, is twin screw,
and equipped with two gasoline en-
gines of 100 horsepower each, and is
beautifully fitted inside and out, the
owners quarters especially being ele
gantly furnished.
The yacht has been in southern
waters during the winter and has
cruised to Cuba, the Bahamas, and
points of interest along the Florida
coast, and is on her way to New
York where she will go into commits
sion for the summer season.
The Vencedor, which is in charge
of Capt. Peter Nelson, and carries a
crew of seven men, will probably

$500, 600 Deal Closed for
CLatsOp County Timber

Astoria.-The largest timber deal
that has been consummated in Clatsop
county for several months Is said to
have been closed here. By it the Pen
insular Lumber & Box company, Of
Portland, becomes the owner of what
is generally known as the Washburn
tract.
This tract is located just north of
Saddle Mountain at the headwaters Of
Youngs River, between that stream
and the Klaskanine River, 1t is held
in the name Of the Youngs River COM
pany, the principal owner OF which is
said to be J. T. Washburn, of Mime
apolis.
The property consists of $3.50 acres
and cruises show it contains 289,000,-
900 feet of first-quality fir timber. The
consideration is said to have been ap-
proximately $5O0,O00, or slightly less
than 50 thousand feet stumpage.
While located several miles from the
Columbia river the tract is located
favorab1y for logging operations and
at the present time the Bremner Log
ging company's railroad extends to
within a comparatively short distance
of it.
Negotiations for the sale of this
property have been in progress for
some time and approximately a year
ago the purchase Of it by another COM
pany was practically consummated
when complications arose in conse-
auence of which the deal was off.

Flood and Blizzard Hits
City of Nome, Alaska

Nome, Alaska = A furious blizzard
which this week has been raging for
three days has forced the Bering Sea
ice pack up against the backs Of the
buildings, where SO much property was
destroyed by the great storm in Octo-
ber, 1918, and has driven the water
farther inland than it has been in sew
eral years.
All trails are impossible and several
mining camps along the shore are en-
tirely surrounded by water.
The water along the beach is rising,
but it is believed the ice pack which
has been jammed against the buildings
and bulkheads along the waterfront at
Nome will protect them from the
water and it is thought there is little
likelihood of their being washed away,
as they were year ago.
At the smaller camps along the
shore conditions are not so favorable.
Solomon, 80 miles east Of Nome, and
Dickson, the railway terminus at the
mouth of the Solomon river, are sur
rounded by water and ice.
All the telephone lines along the
coast were torn down by the storm.

ceased message from Safety Road

Wool Gr0Wers Combine to
Hold for Better Prices

Baker.-"Do not sell or contract to
sell wool for less than rs cents a
pound"
This is the slogan which woolmen
of Baker and Grant county will take
to the Eastern Oregon Woolgrowers'
association convention at Pendleton.
Byron Gale, secretary Of the local as
sociation, declared that reports from
all sections of the Baker district indi-
cate that there will be an enormous
wool clip in this part Of the country
and that prices will be higher than
have been paid in many years.
1.-THE English embargo on Austral-
ian wool and shortage in other sec
tions of the country outside Oregon
will have a combined effect of in.
creasing the price," said Mr.. Gale.
I'VE have more lambs and sheep than
ever in Oregon now and growers will
have big supply, but indications
from elsewhere are that there is a
shortage. fl
"Woolgrowers from all over this
section are declaring that they will
refuse to contract to sell wool at less
than rs cents a pound. The price
seems high but the supply will be sc
limited that there will be no trouble
in getting it."

NauaL Auth0ritu Dead.

Washington. D. C. = Rear Admiral
Alfred T. Mahan, u. s. NJ, retired,
acclaimed in naval circles as the
greatest modern writer on naval
strategy" died at the naval hospital
here Wednesday, aged "a years.
Death was due to heart trouble. The
admiral had been in feeble health for
several weeks, but he was not taken
to the hospital until week ago and
it was not generally known that his
condition was critical. Admiral Ma
han had greatly overtaxed his strength
in study of the present great European
conflict and it is thought that the
many long hours he devoted to follow
ing the naval operations Of the bellig-
erents probably caused the breakdown
which hastened his end.

BRITISH WARSHIP BLOWS
UP; 800 OF CREW PERISH

Sheerness, Eng, via London - The
British battleship Bulwark was de-
stroyed by terrific explosion as she
lay off here Thursday. There were
only IA survivors from the crew of 700
or 800 men who were aboard.
In the opinion of naval men it was
an internal explosion that put an end
to the battleship, which for IL years
had done service at home and abroad
and lately had been doing her part in
guarding England's shores. There was
no great upheaval of water such as
would have occurred if she had been
torpedoed or struck by a mine.
Instead, the ship was enveloped in
smoke and flame. and when this had
cleared nothing could be seen but
wreckage floating on the water.
Houses in towns seven and eight
miles away were shaken by the
explosion and even before men or
ships anchored near by could reach
their own decks, the Bulwark had dis.
appeared. The neighborhood was
strewn with an enormous amount Of
wreckage, while pieces of the shil
were thrown six or seven miles ontt
the Essex shore.

Boat Canal FromTSeaside
to WarrentOn Is Proposed

Seaside--Active steps toward pro-
viding canal for motorboats from
Seaside to Warrenton were taken here
at a meeting of the residents of Sea-
side and surrounding towns. Commit
tees were appointed to confer with the
Port of Astoria commissioners and the
motorboat clubs of Astoria and Port
land. Prior to the meeting prominent
citizens of Seaside had gone over the
ground between here and Warrenton
with an engineer and profile map had
been prepared, showing the elevations
along the line of the proposed canal,
which lies through chain of natural
lakes, the highest point of which is
only seven feet above sea level and as
the greater portion of the distance is
already open by way of the string of
lakes and canal that has been used
for logging purposes, the project is a
simple one from an engineering stand
point.
The possibilities for canal that
would connect Seaside with the Column
bia river are so apparent that the prtj-
ect was proposed many years ago, but
the necessary backing was not pro-
cured at that time. However, canal
was built from Cullaby lake, which
lies about midway between Seaside
and Warrenton, to connect with the
stream that empties into the Columbia
IL
used until quite recently for rafting
logs from the slopes near Cullaby lake
into the Columbia river. This canal,
which is about five miles long, is in
excellent condition. Cullaby lake is
about three miles long and the other
smaller lakes are available for use re-
duce the distance that would be nee
essary to dig about three miles and
one-half.

Little Rock-The great smoke cloud
from hundreds of forest fires which
lifted in Little Rock Thursday again
settled over the city, and it was i'm
possible to see more than two or three
blocks even on well-lighted streets.
Reports indicate that similar conditions
prevailed all over the state. The only
hope of extinguishing the fires is a
general rain, and the weather bureau
offers little hope Of this. That any
considerable setback was given to the
fires by rains in portions of the burning
district was not indicated in reports.

Great Britain has been singularly free
from disaster Of this character. New
ertheless when the French warship
Jena was destroyed by an internal ex-
plosion in 1907 all cordite ammunition
was taken from all the British ships
and carefully examined. Refrigera-
tors were installed in the ships to keep
the powder cool.
The Bulwark, which was one of the
older battleships, cost 81, 1000, 900 ($5,-
00,000).
1t is believed here that the explosion
of the Bulwark was caused by the fall
and bursting Of 12-inch lyddite shell
in her magazine.

American Citizen Held
as Spyxby Germans

New York - Edward Bright, an
American citizen, graduate of Colum-
bia, and formerly editor of the Baptist
Examiner, is under arrest at Goetting-
en-, Germany, charged with being a
spy, according to information received
by his wife in this city. Mrs. Bright
got word recently that her husband
was imprisoned on October II, and,
after appealing to the State depart
ment at Washington, she decided to
make her information public.
Mr.. Bright, with his family, had
resided at Goettingen nearly ten years,
Mrs. Bright said. Mrs. Bright with
her two sons, came here shortly be-
fore the war began. Her first news
regarding her husbands plight came
in letter dated October 25, written
by maid in the Brights' Goettingen
household. This was confirmed by a
letter from the same city October 80,
by an American friend, who said her
