So Rise in Lumber SeeH---
Mn to Reopen Feb. Isl

Eugene--Anticipating rise Of from
| 80 to s3 In the price Of lumber, now
$40 a thousand, the Coast Range Lum.
Der company is booking no new orders,
according to C. E. Gatke, manager Of
the lumber company's mill at Mabel,
in the Mohawk valley, east of Eugene.
The mill viii reopen February l.
Mr.. Gatke expects the rise soon
after the first Of the year. He says 1t
will mark the beginning Of a revival
Of the lumber business. An order for
4, 900, 900 ties, now being figured upon
by the Coast mills, appeared a week
ago, and although Mr.. Gatke states
that It cannot be handled by the inland
mills, he regards It to be one of the
factors which will help relieve the
strain. The mill at Mabel has ca
pacity Of 100, 900 feet daily.
''The first of the year always marks
spring buying in lumber yards. just as
it does for any of the wholesalers, !"
stated A. G. Dixon, manager of the
Booth-Kelly company. He says: II
have talked with a number of the fore
most Portland lumbermen during the
week. They are watching the begin
ming of the new year with interest.
Such factors as the rate increase, the
large crops, the restoration Of conf
dence, and changes in the war situa-
tion, are considered"

tion Of clerks and other officers. Dav-

committee and Olson, of Multnomah,

Before reporting back to the house
the committee voted to destroy its rec

secret the vote and other proceedings

then that someone noticed that the
newspaper reporters had been present
all the time and had taken notes on all
the proceedings. Whereupon the re-
porters agreed not to use the informa-
tion with the understanding that they
be admitted to future so-called secret
meetings.
The committee of the whole reported
back to the house the result of its de-
libsrations. The speaker then APP
pointed his committees on rules and Of
resolutions and named Gerald Knewes,
Edward Heenan and Farrell Olds as

German Strategy Fails
and Causes HeGuy Loss

Petrograd - The following official
communication was issued Tuesday
from general headquarters:
''On the left bank of the Vistula,
both day and night. January 10, the
Germans attempted, without success,
to attack our line at several points,
but were repulsed everywhere by our
fire.
''In an attack in the region Of the
village of Samice, east of Skiernei-
vice, the Germans reached our barbed
wire entanglements and began to
shout: DO not fire; we are yoursl
However, as similar strategy had
been employed before, therefore the
vigilance of our troops was not de-
ceived by this maneuver Of the Ger
mans and we directed against them q
destructive fire and delivered coun-
ter attack, repulsing the enemy and
inficting heavy losses upon them.
''In Galicia the cannon and rifle fire
has been kept going and we remain in
contact with the enemy"

Berkeley, Cal. - Three students Of
the mining department Of the Univer-
sity of California have discovered a
new and pleasant method of financing
a college education. They have been
spending their Christmas holidays pros
pecting in Placer county, and letter
received by the recorder Of the univer-
sity sets forth that they had stumbled
on a rich quartz vein and had begun to
take out numerous semesters' worth Of
gold. They had employed force Of
men to mine the claim and were pre-
pairing to return to the university.

Eastern Oregon Irrigation
Projects Ask for Million

Central Oregon irrigationists want
not only tho $3.50, 900 that the Federal
government intends TO cxpend for
reclamation purposes in this state, but
an additional appropriation Of $3.50. 600
from the legislature, TO be matched by
like amount from the Federal treas
ury.
Altogether. Central Oregon wants
81, $50. 900 for immediate development
work. Resolutions TO this effect were
adopted at caucus Of delegates from
the interior counties to the irrigation
congress being held In Portland.
While the resolutions suggest that
the money be appropriated for work in
Central Oregon, Il 10 apparent that
this term 10 intended to apply only to
Crook county and its immediate en-
virons, including jefferson county.
which recently was carved out Of Crook
county.
More than i50 delegates were repre-
sented at the Central Oregon caucus.
All but n few Of them, however. were
representatives Of Crook and jefferson
counties.
The meeting also went on record in
favor Of Federal guarantees for bonds
issued by separate irrigation districts.
This plan also has been suggested by
the Umatilla county delegates and Is
supported generally by the Eastern
Oregon irrigationists.
The Metoliua Irrigation a. Power
company's project, more generally
known as the lower desert project, also
was recommended and efforts win be
made to have the general state con-
gress adopt a resolution to that effect.

Senators Approve Army
Coast Defense Measures

Washington, D. C. - War depart
ment bills to strengthen the army and
create a reserve corps were taken up
Wednesday by the senate military COM
mittee in open session with Secretary
Garrison and his aides present to ex-
plain the various projects. Members
Of the committee indicated by their
questions their general approval of the
measures.
Senator Dupont, however, objected
to the bill providing for the addition
of 1000 officers to the mobile army,
contending that it would create nearly
a thousand vacancies in the grade of
second lieutenant and provide for q
disproportion Of colonels and lieuten-
ant colonels.
Secretary Garrison said the bills
had been prepared in the war college
by his direction and that he had di-
rected that efficiency of the army
should be the ..end sought. He said
statements of the reason of the appor-
tionment selected would be drafted at
once for the committee.
Discussing the bill providing for the
creation of reserve corps by grant
ing power to the secretary to discharge
competent men from the regular army
into the reserve at the end of one year
Of service, Mr.. Garrison said the pres
ent reserve system, which had pro-
duced force of only 16 men in two
years, was vacuum. His plan. he
believed, would bring to the army q
class Of recruits not now available.
The secretary strongly urged the
enactment of the bill providing for the
officers reserve corps.
Even with the other bills enacted, he
said, the department would be faced,
in time of war, with the problem of
providing officers for force of $780,
900 men, and it now had no list of
graduates of military schools or other
civilians competent to take these posi-
tions.
The secretary said the enactment of
the coast artillery bill would bring
that arm of the service up to so per
cent of the strength it would have in
war. He said he had considered this
the most urgent matter, because the
isolated position of the United States
made its coast defenses of most i'm
portance. A single shot from big
gun, he said, would sink SIS, 900, 900
battleship, but no foe would take a
chance against the coast defenses in
order to drop few random shells into
cities.
General Weaver, chief of the coast
artillery, told the committee that the
United States had expended $l7b, ,000,-
600 on its coast defenses since 1888,
and that, in material, they We're the
best in the world.

excellency states, frankness. will best
serve the continuance Of cordial rela-
tions between the two countries.
''His majesty's government cor
daily concurs In the principle enun-
ciated by the government of the
United States, that q belligerent is
dealing with trade between neutrals
should not interfere, unless such inter-
ference is necessary to protect the
belligerents's national safety, and then
only to the extent to which this IL
necessary. We shall endeavor to keep
our action within the limits of this
principle on the understanding that it
admits our right to interfere when
such interference Is not with bona
fide' trade between the United States
and another neutral country, but with
trade in contraband destined for the
enemy's country, and we are ready,
whenever our action may unintention-
ally exceed this principle, to make re-
dress.
1--WE think that much misconception
exists as to the extent to which we
have, in practice, interfered with trade.
Your excellency's note seems to hold
His majesty's government responsible
for the present condition of trade with
neutral countries, and it is stated
that, through the action Of His mai
esty's government, the products Of the
great industries of the United States
have been denied long established mar
kets in European markets, which,
though neutral, are contiguous to the
seat of war"
