Pullman Car POrters'
Pay Only $2Z. so Month

Chicago-The first government in
quiry into wages and conditions and
employment of sleeping car porters
and conductors was made here Tuesday
by the United States commission on
industrial relations. L. s. Hunger
ford, general manager of the Pullman
company, was on the stand most of the
day and was questioned by Frank P.
Walsh, chairman Of the commission.
In the first IL years of the sleeping
porter's service, Hungerford said, he
is paid $27.5 a month. At the end Of
l5 years he, like other service en-
ployes, automatically received an ad-
vance of per cent, which makes his
pay $28.87 month. In the first 10
years of service be buys his own uni
froms, but thereafter the company
takes on this burden. A bonus system
gives men with good records an extra
months pay for the year.
Mr.. Walsh then brought up the sub
ject Of tips.
''Do you expect the public to pay
the difference between these wages
and a living wage?" he asked the wit
ness.
mo sir, don't think that was con-
sidered," the latter replied.
"You thought them satisfied with
these salariesf"
"No, l wouldn't say that; we re-
ceived no expressions Of dissatisfaction
regarding them" replied Mr.. Hunger
ford.

WILLARD WINS WORLDS
CHAMPIONSHIP FROM BLACK

Havana-Jack johnson, exiled from
his own country, Monday lost his claim
to fistic fame as the heavyweight
champion of the world, the title being
wrested from him by Jess Willard, the
Kansas cowboy, the biggest man who
ever entered the prize ring.
Mondays fight probably has no par
allel in the history Of ring battles.
For 20 rounds johnson, punched and
pounded Willard at will, but his blows
grew perceptibly less powerful as the
fight progressed, until at last he
seemed unable or unwilling to 60 on.
johnson stopped leading, and for
three or four rounds the battle be-
tween the two huge men was little
more than a series Of plastic poses Of
white and black gladiator.
So it was until the 25th round, when
Willard got one of his widely swinging
windmill right-hand smashes to John
sons heart. This was the beginning
of the end.
When the round closed johnson sent
word to his wife that he was all in,
and told her to start for home. She
was on the way out and was passing
the ring in the 26th round when a
singing left to the body and cy-
clonic right to the jaw caused johnson
to crumple on the floor of the ring,
where he lay partly outside the ropes
until the referee counted 10 and held
up Willard's hand in token of his new
ly-won laurels.

Hard-surfacing of County
Highpay Is Planned

Forest Grove = The Forest Grove
commercial club held another luncheon
Thursday, at which there were present
100 business men of the community
and farmers living in the vicinity. The
subject for discussion was "Better
Roads for Washington County" D.
B. Reasoner, Judge Of the county
court, and Rodell Matteson, county
commissioner, were guests.
The project which is being pushed
by the Commercial club of Forest
Grove and the farmers Of Gales Creek
and Thatcher vicinity is hard-surfacing
Of the main thoroughfare leading from
Gales Creek and Thatcher neighbor-
hoods into Forest Grove, and the
county court is cooperating to obtain
some state aid. A committee Of five
was appointed to cooperate with the
Commercial club and the county court
in an effort to procure assistance from
the State highway commission, and
subscriptions to the funds available
for the Improvement.
Incidentally the membership of the
Commercial club was increased 100.

NeW Line From Grants
Pass to Ocean Assured

"We hope to complete arrangements
and carry the work to successful con-
clusjon within a very short time, "
said James F. Twohy, a member of
the firm.
The new road will be an important
factor in the future development of
Grants Pass and all the territory in
the southwestern corner of the state.
It will open up rich section hereto
fore undeveloped and will give Grants
Pass and the southern part of the state
an easy outlet to the sea.
More significant than these facts,
however, is the possibility that the
new road will become a future link in
through traffic between Portland and
San Francisco. For this reason, it is
believed that the road eventually will
pass into the hands Of the Southern
Pacific company. Twohy Bros, it is
understood, are acting for the South
ern Pacific. They have done much
work for the Southern Pacific in the
past and are not apt to engage in rail-
road operation themselves.
When the road is completed to
Grants Pass link of only rs miles be-
tween Crescent City and Trinidad,
CAL, will remain to be built to give
the Southern Pacific new through
line between Grants Pass and San
Francisco.

Great Britain Prepares
for Absolute Prohibition

London-If prohibition of the sale
Of liquor in Great Britain comes, as it
is believed it may in a few days. it
will be the biggest shock ever felt in
this country-there can be no two
opinions about that. The Norman con-
quest, and York-Lancaster civil war
and the drastic dictatorship of Crom-
well will bear no comparison to it, and
this statement is made seriously. Bri-
tons place much stress on their per-
sonal rights, even in war time.
The sudden shutting off of the sale
Of drink is certain to be dramatic. 1t
is likely that it will be done at night
by the police and the inland revenue
officers, as happened in Russia at the
beginning Of the war.
The general opinion among the Bri-
tons Is that such a method might do
for the simple Slavs, but would not
"go" here in England.
1t is not likely, however, that the
saloonkeepers Of Britain will be
caught mapping. The rolling of dis
tant thunder presaging a storm has
been heard, and like the willy Bedouins
worrying the Suez canal, the massed
formation Of bottles Is being rapidly
split into smaller contnigents and
these are again divided into single
units fleeing from the wrath to come.

Completion of the California & Ore
gon Coast railroad from Grants Pass to
Crescent City, CAL, at cost approx
mating $5,000,O00, was assured this
week when Twohy Bros, railroad con-
tractors of Portland, arranged with
the city officials..''of Grants Pass to
finance the project and perform the
work.
The people of Grants Pass already
have bonded themselves for $500, 900
to pay for the first 10 miles of the
work. This portion Of the road, from
Grants Pass to Wilderville, has been
built. The remaining portion, from
Wilderville to Crescent City, is ap-
proximately 81 miles long. 1t is esti-
mated that the work can be completed
this summer. Twohy Bros. are pre-
pared to put large force of men to
work there within the next few weeks.
The road is bonded for SIS, 900, 900,
and it is understood that Twohy Bros.
have made adequate arrangement for
disposing Of the bonds, as a means Of
financing the project. 1t is reported
that Canadian and European capital
lists have agreed to take some Of the
securities, which, on account of the
glowing reports regarding the terri
tory to be served by the new road, are
expected to sell at high figure.

for flavor and 25 each for texture and
color. For pies and dumplings, 65
points were given for perfect flavor,
20 for way cooked and IL for tender
ness. In jells texture and flavor were
given S5 points each for perfect score
with 15 for color, 10 for clearness and
5 for surface.
Judging was done by number of
college experts who were unaware Of
the varieties as they judged them, so
that no prejudice entered into their
verdict.
By this means satisfactory knowl-
edge of the qualities of all varieties
tested was reached, and this informa-
tion is now offered the people of Ore
gon who are interested in this subject
in bulletin just prepared. The bull
letin should not only prove to be a reli-
able guide in the purchase Of apples
for home cooking, but it will also have
considerable value for the dealers ant
growers. Copies may be had on appli
cation to the college.
In addition to the score awarded t,
each variety in the uses heretofore
mentioned, the bulletin furnishes in
formation on the seasonal value Of tn,
varieties, on the relative value o.
some of the varieties for each of thu
purposes named, and the correlation Of
values for sauce and for jelly pur-
poses. Much other useful information
is also contained in the bulletin, such
as giving recipes for crusts, cooking
directions, amount Of sweetening and
suitable utensils.

Test Cooking Qualities of
Various Kinds of Apples

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-Knowledge Of the cooking val
ue of standard varieties of apples on
the part Of housewives and other per-
sons that prepare this fruit for table
use has long been considered by Pro-
fessor c. I. Lewis, chief Of the divis-
ion Of horticulture at the college, as
one of the steps to more satisfactory
market system. buyers Of apples for
home use should learn the qualities of
the leading Oregon varieties and then
call by name for the variety they
want" Professor Lewis said several
years ago. And he has kept on saying
it until the truth of the proposition
has been generally recognized and is
now beginning to be acted upon in a
systematic attempt to cultivate more
intelligent and stable demand for good
apples.
In carrying out this policy of learn
ing the fruit and its qualities, series
of experiments to determine the cook
ing qualities of II varieties of apples
grown in Oregon the Home economics
department of the college has made
and reported an exhaustive test. The
test includes the cooking qualities of
these varieties used as sauce, pies,
dumplings, marmalade and jelly. The
fruit was judged on the basis of color,
flavor and texture of sauce, flavor,
way cooked, and tenderness of pies and
dumplings, and flavor, texture, color,
clearness and surface of jells. In sauce
and marmalade 80 points were allowed

Right of Embargo Not
Admitted by United States

Washington, D. C.-The United
States government has made public its
note to Great Britain announcing that
it could not "admit" either the right
of the allies or their assertion for
justification in placing an embargo on
all commercial intercourse between
Germany and neutral countries.
''To admit it, says the communica-
tion, would be to assume an attitude
Of unneutrality toward the present
enemies of Great Britain, which would
be obviously inconsistent with the
solemn obligations of this government
in the present circumstances, and for
Great Britain to make such a claim
would be for her to abandon and set at
naught the principles for which she
has consistently and earnestly con-
tended in other times and circum-
stances"
The note reviews at length the legal
phases of blockade of belligerent ter
ritory and virtual blockade of neutral
coasts.
In conclusion the United States as
serts its expectation that Great Brit
ain latter having considered the pos
sibilities of ''serions interruption Of
American trade under the Order-in-
Council, twill take steps to avoid
them and in the event that they should
unhappily occur, which under the rules
Of international law constitutes a vio-
lation of neutral rights.
The American communication inter-
prets the circumstances under which
Great Britain pretends to be justified
in adopting retaliatory measures to-
ward her enemies as merely a reason
for certain extraordinary activities"
by her naval force "and not an excuse
for or prelude to any unlawful ac-
tion."
