CATTLE TRADE
IS VERY SLOW
fCourtesy Frlday's Journal.) }

PORTLAND. Ore.-Cattle market
conditions at North Portland are ex-
tremely slow. with some offerings
from yesterday held over owing to the
almost general lack of demand. Sell
ing is generally forced because killers
have about all the stock they need
for immediate requirements. No inn
provement is shown in the dressed
beef market, and until this improves
there is not likely to be much bet
terment i'm the livestock trade.

PEEP INTO THE FUTURE

(From Ohio State JournaD
 The wireless telephone is not go- ing to stop with terrestrial dis tances. It is as good for the sol ar system as it is for Paris or Japan. Marconi now says he will talk to the people on Jupiter, Mars, or Venus if there is anybody there to talk to. This seems highly pos sible. As one gets away from the atmosphere of the earth the condi- tions are more favorable. The wire less operats in the ether and this strange supernatural element fills all space.
 There is big Jupiter up in the eastern skies tonight. There is nothing but ether between here and there, and through that the human voice proceeds without lim- it. It takes only little over half an hour for light to come from that planet to the earth, distance of 400,000,000 miles. Still, in the wire less telephone the people up there are our next door neighbors. And Saturn is nealy twice as far, but only an hour between us, if we want to talk to the Saturnians, where the sun does not look much bigger than silver dollar and where they have no nights.

AN ADVOCATE OF STATEHOOD
Favors New Organization and Fight
 For Our Rights

Mir. Editor:
 '1f nothing is too good for Alas kans" why not pull for statehood now?
 We are told by some who pre- tend to know that statehood for Alaska is a long ways off. So are told that it is Long Way to Tip perary' but we know that when actuated by a sincere desire, 'sPat" would soon overcome all obstacles and soon rejoin the sweetest girl he knew. We believe that if all true Alaskans will unite, they can over come all obstacles and soon usher their magnificent territory into the Union. All it requires is a sincere desire to advance the best interest of our common country.
 The part of Alaska qualified for statehood at the present time, is larger geographically than a num- Der of states now shining among the galaxy of stars nthe blue field of Old Glory. Our population is greater than any twenty terri tories at the time of their admis- sion into the Union.
 To keep the portion of Alaska already possessed of the qualifi- cations for statehood, out of the Union. is only a move of some of our astute politicians who are not quite ready to turn the rich picking over to the people. It is so much more easier and vastly more con venient to fleece the sheep under full territorial government than under state government. It seems to the writer that statehood could be accomplished in the near future by organizing the people of Alas ka independently of the present pol itical parties. When we get ready , to break down the barriers and re- move old wrecks placed in the chan nel of progress by those working through the old parties in the in terest of foreign corporations, we shall come to our own.
 Where is the Alaskan who will cast off the shackles of the pres ent political parties, and start the organization of the people of Alas ka for the protection of their Ameri- can rights and privileges?

Then would we dare hope to talk to the Pleiades away out in the eastern sky, trillions of miles away, those beautiful sisters who are dancing the minuet through the eternal years ? We'll, it is perfectly scientific to hope so, if the sisters are still there. What a thought, talking through infinity to celes- tial creatures and getting their views of things in general For in- stance, we would like to ask Merope if it paid to marry a mortal, or Electra, if she is still weeping over the burning of Troy.

stand the feminine mind, neverthe- less, it is a ecock-sure, one best bet, one guess proposition. Tn one respect, women are like sheep, they follow the leader. Someone in the world of fashion, and it may be a member of the nobility, we'll known and popular woman of the stage or one of high fashionable society, springs new stunt, her own idea or partly that of her furrier. She flashes it at some public function. If it takes, it is more contagious than smallpox. In time, every woman in the civilized world wants the same thing. They don't all get it. Those who have the price do. Those who don't have the price, get the next best thing, as an imitation. By the way of illustration, will cite case. was in Paris, August 1913 and was shown by M. Greenwalt of that city (the one manufacturer of furs who has assisted in bringing out more novelties in ladies furs than any living 'man,) the first model of the now extremely fashionable ani- mal scarf, made from choice silver fox for Madame Sarah Bernhard, the great actress of France. The fashionable world grabbed for it, for it had merit, it is becoming to any lady. The result was, the big demand for all kinds of fox, fisher, lynx and the soft furred northern wolf with heads attached. The market has been cleared of all the above skins, higher prices will pre- vail for themthis coming season and will continue so long as the animal scarf remains fashionable. After that it will be something else. No one knows what, but it will be the thing that woman, lovely woman wants, and not what we want to sell.

U. S. AVIATION SCANDAL
Chief is Called as Witness in Corrt
 Martial Trial

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30-A re- quest for the appearance of Lieut.. Col. Samuel Reber, chief of the aviation section of the army, at the court-martial of Lieut.. Col. Lewis F. Goodier, judge advocate of the western department, was telegraph ed today to the war department The prosecution made the request so that Col. Reber might testify concerning correspondence with Capt. Arthur S. Cowan, commandant of the army aviation school at North Island, near San Diego, Cal.
 The evidence already brought out, that officers who could not fly re- ceived the extra pay of aviation of ficers, has created a sensation in army circles and overshadowed the specific charges upon which Col Coodier is being tried.
 In letter written July 21, 1914 by Coi. Reber to Capt. Cowan the commander was urged to have cer- tain aviators qualify as soon as pos sible to fly so they would be eligible to flying pay"
 |" All you have to do," the lette, read, 'is to sit tight and draw youl pay"

FOUND INSTALLER
 IN TROUBLE

Yesterday while cruising in the vicinity of Hump Island, the launch Sparrow picked up and lowed into Loring, the launch Installer. The Installer was out with a party in search of the three men who were aboard the ill-fated Frances R., and while in rough sea the engine went out of commission, leaving the boat and it's passengers to the mercy of the bad weather. The anchor line aboard the Installer was too short and at the time the Sparrow picked her up, she was dangerously near a rocky beach. After repairing the engine in Loring. the Installer will resume the search for the Frances G., unfortunates.

Aceording to the correspondence

According to the correspondence Col. Reber wrote to Capt. Cowan in December last, saying: "It is rath- CT embarrassing to me because Lieut.. Patterson has net spent an hour in the alr. No body has noticed it yet and no questions have been asked"
 May Ii this year, in a letter from Col, Reber to Capt. Cowan, the former wrote with reference to the charges against Capt. Cowan that "all yee have to do is to keep quiet. I think I'll get one or two scalps before I get through with this. Let me handle this matter a. lone." .
 It was brought out by the memo randum, copy of which was in the Reber-Cowan correspondence, that before going to Europe in the sum- mer of 1914 Col. Reber left word with Capt. o. S. Wallace, disbursing officer of the signal corps, that as soon as Capt Cowan made any recommendation they be acted up- on without delay.
 In response to question by Capt. Allen J. Greer, of counsel for the defendant, Capt. Cowan said Lieut.. Patterson had spend but 54 minutes in the air at the time he qualified as a junior military aviator.

SWEDEN CURTAILING LIQUOR

Although nothing so drastic as the prohibition measures of Russia has been attempted in Sweden. there has been, since the beginning of the war, a steady systematic curtail- ment in the sale of liquor, which is approvingly regarded by temper ance advocates as decided step to- ward absolute prohibition. The stockholm system" of allowing each citizen only a fixed quantity of spirituous drink. which was inaug- urated just after the war started, has now been extended to thirty one of the hundred districts in Sweden, and according to govern ment order recently issued, will, after the 1st of January, 1916, ap- ply to the whole of Sweden.

PEASANT WOMEN RESPECTED

On the northern coast of France the peasant women are more re- markable than the men, and they are far better educated.
 It it they who drag the boats in and out of the little harbors, and who sell the fish in the markets. They are thus brought into contact with the peoples. and civilizations of all countries, and no class of women in Europe is so emancipat- ed.
 They are strong and robust and their outdoor life and masculine habits-for they belong to the ses as much as do their menfolkE- harden their bodies, at the same time giving them a taste fo all masculine pursuits and pleasures.
 They rarely quarrel with their husbands; indeed, the latter would fare badly did they attempt CO., ercion or ill-treatment in any shape or form, for the women are taller than they are and quite as strong; so the "mere men" of the French coast prefer to keep their skins whole. and treat their wives as "jolly good fellows" which is ex- actly what they are.
 They sing their songs and enjoy their glass of cider with the best of their menfolk.

CHICAGO, Dec. 29-The storm which originated Tuesday evening in TexaS moved with great rapidity yesterday and by today had travelled rapidly northeastWard, spreading as it moved until tonight it covered the territory between Central Indiana and southern New England states.
 Rain, sleet and a high wind alter mated throughout the storm section. Throughout the south and to a less extent in the east sleet settled on tele- graph wires and aided by the wind carried them down. For hours during the day communication with the south was cut off and with the east only ir- regular service was maintained. Late in the day the telegraph companies managed to establish communication by long circuitous routes, and 1t was thought that by tomorrow normal ser vice would be restored.
 Reports tonight from sections which had succeeded in restoring outside communication indicated great inter ruption with train and street car ser vice with some property damage.
