Albany. Or.--AlI danger Of damage
to the hay crop in this section mas been
averted by the recent hot weather. Had
the rains continued, the injury would
have been serious. The present hot
weather not only prevents further dam
age, but will mitigate what loss was
threatened by the rains. Farmers re-
port that few more warm days will
put all Of the wet hay in shape for bal
ing and that practically no loss will
result. The weather Is also exactly
what was needed TO ripen grain. The
harvest will be little late.

Chicago--"Who is to blame?''
Chicago faces a task Of fixing the
responsibility for the Eastland ca
lamity.
While divers are still cropping on the
river bed and in the hold of the East
land for bodies Of victims, while the
morgues are filled with lamentations
of bereaved and cemeteries are receiv-
ing harvest of death, all authorities
having jurisdiction will open their in
vestigations.
The Federal government, state,
county and city will search for causes
Of the disaster. They win determine
who was guilty of negligence and take
steps for the punishment of those re-
sponsible.
WHO ID to blame?" Is the vital
question to which the combined au-
thorities will seek an answer.
The chief questions to be settled are
Was the Eastland overcrowded? II
30, who is to blame?
Was its water ballast out Of adjust
menti If SO, who is to blame?
Was the carrying capacity Of the
Eastland overrated by the inspectors
Of the Federal government II 30,
who il to blame? Was the hull Of the
vessel modelled on lines giving the
requisite stability II not, who is to
blame for granting it permit?

Chicago - Bodies Of 500 persons

Eastland at its wharf in the Chicago
river had been recovered Sunday night
after 40 hours of searching by divers
around the steel hulk. still lying on its
side, half-submerged, where it rolled
Saturday while laden with 24O8 excur-
sionists.
The total dead as a result Of the
turning over of the ship still remains
ut approximately 1000, according to
estimates made by Coroner Hoffman,
whose reports indicated that probably
200 bodies still were held in the mud
of the river by the superstructure of
the overturned boat.

MANY DECLINES NOTED
 IN LEADING ISSUES
Market Prices Depressed to Lowest Level Of Current Movement.

New York, Feb 20.-Prices were depressed to the lowest level of the current movement during todays short market session, declines ranging from 1 to almost two points in lead ing issues. The selling was all in the first hour, however, with substan- tial recovery in the later dealings. Miscellaneous -specialties also were affected by the early depression with declines to new minimums. Condi- ticns were further aggravated by re- newed weakness in foreign exchange and the grain markets. The closing was heavy. Bonds were lower on ad- ditional foreign offerings.
 Wall Street, 10:30 A. M.-The heav- mess which marked yesterdays late dealings became more accentuated in tdday's early trading the entire list tending downward. The average of prices was almost the lowest since the continuation of the January rise. United States Steel was offered in round amounts and other leaders showed signs of renewed liquidation. Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Read ing and Amalgamated Copper falling a point or more. The approach of the double holiday, with it's attendant un- -certainties in the foreign situation, was again the outstanding feature.

A worlds record was made With the great fourteen inch guns of the Amerl- can battleship Texas during recent target practice. A perfect score ot eight hits in eight trials at a moving target twelve miles away was made This is remarkable shooting and proves that the United States navy has the best gun pointers in the world
 One of these pictures shows the in terior bore of a giant gun. The object of rif1ng is to enable a gun to fire an elongated projectile with precision by imparting to it rotation, which tends to keep it in the direction in which it is pointed when discharged. In modern guns the rif1ing is effected by cutting spiral grooves down the bore, leaving raised ribs termed "lands,'' between them. Fastened on the shell near the base is a band of soft copper which, as the shell on discharge passes up the bore, is cut into and
