It Is Historic battle-ground.

Brussels, July 31.-The Belgian bank
run increased today. At the National
bank 10000 depositors clamored for
their money.
The bank met all demands and after
a time confidence was restored and the
run was checked.
Grave uneasiness was felt concern
ibg the country's fate in the event Of
q general war, which it was admitted
seemed inevitable. Sandwiched be-
tween France and Germany, it was fear.
cd it would be Overrun by the troops IF
both countries in spite of all it could
do TO maintain its neutrality.
Mobilization was practically CON.
pleted and the strengthening of fortI-
fieations and provisioning of garrisons
was going on with feverish haste.
Holland, according to messages from
The Hague, was also mobilizing as rap.
idly as possible. It's situation was not
considered as critical as Belgium 3, but
there was said to be, nevertheless, grave
uneasiness concerning its future.

OPEN SEASON FOR DEER
AND HUNTERS TOMORROW

Saturday is August and the open
ing of the deer season. Hundreds of
hunters are preparing to take to the
hills armed with high power rifles and
frying pans. 1t is expected that the
slaughter of deer this year will be
great on account of the large mum.
bers that are reported in the noun
tains. Among those leaving Salem for
hunting in southern Oregon are Tom
Kay, state treasurer; George vieseo
and L. c. Denison. Others will leave
for the hills as the season advances.
The following is what is said of the
outlook for the season in southern Ore

TRYING TO PREVENT
A SHORTAGE OF CARS
Railroad Commission Makes Suggestions
to Shippers to Prevent Recurrence of
last Year s Troubles.

The prospect of bumper crops in this
state this year will doubtless result in
a serious car shortage, according to the
opinion of the state railroad commits
sion. Last year there was shortage
in spite Of all Of the efforts of the rail
road companies, and the commission was
flooded with complaints. The railroad
commission believes that by taking the
matter in time that many of the bad
effects of the shortage may be avoided,
and in accordance with this belief is
today sending out notices to common
carriers and shippers. The notice says
in part:
Freight cars are for transportation Of
goods and are not warehouses, and
While they are idle waiting for loading
and unloading, from the standpoint of
efficiency, they might as well be out
of existence. The commission, there
fore, respectfully requests that shippers
and receivers of freight in carload lots
use every effort to load and unload
cars in less than 4S hours free time
permitted by our demurrage rules.
Load cars to full capacity (10 per
cent above the marked capacity.
Do not order more cars than are alb.
solutely needed.
Unload cars as promptly as possible
and give company immediate notice
when car is released.
Railroads are requested to place all
cars without unnecessary delay.
Move promptly all loaded cars from
point of loading to destination.
Have necessary repairs made at once
to cars requiring the same.
If shippers, or consignees, who have
trouble with respect to cars, will in
form the railroad commission at Salem,
it will be pleased to take the matter up
promptly with the proper railway Of
ficials.
The commission is confident that OBJ
servance of the foregoing suggestions
will assist materially in preventing a
serious car shortage.

DEPARTMENT TURNS
OVER $2S6,ll6.3O
Corporation Department Proves Most
Profitable to the State of Any of Its
Revenue Producers.

By turning over 1886, ,116.30 to tae
state fund, the corporation commission
has proved to be the best paying of the
state commissions and source of con-
siderable income. This was the net sum
for the fiscal year ending July 80, ac-
cOrding to Corporation Commissioner
Ralph Watson. The commission was in
stituted June 3, 1913, and from that
date for the year ending May 81, 1914,
the total receipts of the commission
were 1921, ,149.66. For the month Of
June, 1914, the receipts were $50, ,463.43,
making a total for the year ending June
30 of $310,613.O9.
The disbursements of the office were
$24, ,496.79, leaving a net sum of $780,.
1850 to be turned over for the uses
of the state. This will be put into
the general fund. The receipts accrue
to this office from corporate licenses,
certified copies and other business for
which fees are charged. The disburse-
ments were particularly heavy this year,
according to the statement of Mr.. Wat
son, on account of the purchasing Of
new equipment for the office. The
stationery turned over by the secre-
tary of state, whose office formerly
handled this business, was unavailable
and the printing of new office supplies
was necessary. New typewriters and
other office furniture was also pur-
chased. Mr.. Watson estimates that the
of the office next year
will not be more than $4,000 for the
total expenses of the commission, in
cluding salaries of the office force,
travelling expenses, etc.

Calcutta, July 31.-English officials
here did not try today to hide their
fear of an anti.British uprising by the
natives if the home country should be
dragged into great European strug-
gle.
Even though the military force in
India should not be weakened, it was
said, it could easily be overwhelmed by
a united revolt. Union is what the
aindus have lacked hitherto, but with
the knowledge that the dominant race
was itself hard pressed by enemies, the
opinion was expressed that the leaders
might weld the people together, at least
for long enough to drive out or exter-
inmate their present masters.
1t was known definitely that anti.

most to stir up hatred of Europeans
among the masses, with view to hav-

to Stop Passage Of the

Copenhagen, July 31.-Danes were
worrying today lest their country be
invaded by German troops in case the
Austro-S -Servian war should involve Eng
land and Germany.
1t was recognized that the German
navy, numerically outelassed by Eng.
lands fleet, undoubtedly would seek
refuge in the Baltic. To force an en-.
gagement, the British ships would have
to traverse some one of the narrow
waterways dividing Denmark and Swe'
den.
These are commanded by Danish
shore Notifications which, so narrow
are the straits, could make such naviga.

The fear was expressed that the Ger.
mans, not caring to trust to the Danes
whose sympathies are English rather
than German, would overrun Denmark
by land and seize these fortresses for
themselves.

Japan Backs England.

Tokia, July 31.-While it was not

seriously considering the chances that

That japanese troops or ships would
be sent to Europe was not expected, but
it was pointed out that they might both

in driving out the Germans from Using

would hardly nave to keep fleet in
oriental waters, but could requisition
all its fighting vessels there for service

GOVERNOR GETS
DECISION REVERSED
Also Brings Home Memento From One
Battle Field Of the Whiskey Insur-
rectiOn.

Governor Oswald West returned to-
day from an extended trip through the
east and expressed himself as par.
tieularly glad to get back to Oregon.
While in Washington he arranged with
Senator Harry Lane to get the matter
of an easement to the reservoir site for
the Tumalo project recOnsidered. When
the state had laid their plans for the
irrigation project and had dug a num-
Der Of canals the site for the pro.
posed reservoir was hOmesteaded and
the state was unable to secure right of
way across the lands surrounding the
site.
A decision from Washington held
that the state in that il was not an
individual could not force an easement
across these lands and the work of the
project was held up In order to Sc
cure a reconsideration of this decision
Governor West took the matter up with
the Secretary of the Interior through
the offices of Senator Lane and secured
a reversal of the decision.
The governor was scheduled to at.
tend board meeting at two O'Clock
this afternoon to consider some further
details in connection with the irriga.
tion project. Mr.. Gates, who is famil.
lar with the work was to appear before
the board at this meeting.
In speaking of his trip, Mr.. West
said that the weather was not so bad
as he expected as he happened to
strike that country when the weather
was favorable. He made a number of
addresses while he was gone and visited
the state prisons and insane asylums
in nearly every state in which he spent
any time
As memento Of his trip he exhibited
a rusty old flint lock rifle which he
picked up in Bedford, the town where
the Whiskey Insurrection was sup
pressed during the administration Of
former president named George
Washington. The old rifle is in good
working order and the governor says
that he may have to use it in enforc-
ing some of the whiskey troubles in
! this state.

Germans Prepare to Move.

Shanghai, July 31.-German residents
here were planning today to make for
the kaiser's settlement at Using Tchau
if Germany and England should become
involved in war with one another.
Their theory was that, owing to the
preponderating strength of England s
navy, which possibly would have the
aid also of Japan s, it would be i'm
possible for them to get to Europe.
Using Tchau, however, is but cOmpar-
atively short distance up the China
coast, and even if the Germans found it
impossible to reach it by steamship, it
was pointed out that they might make
the trip up the Yangtse to Hankow and
travel by a roundabout way by rail
via Pekin.
