Aggie Fans Joyful.

It was back in the days of Carl Wolff and the Coast championship that victory perched on the Oregon Aggie standard as consistently as it has this year Aggie fans are happy from the ground up.
 A record of seven games without a defeat a tie game with the Uni versity of Washington champs, and an overwhelming defeat of one of Southern Californias fastest aggre- gations are some of the factors con- tributing to the joy prevailing on the Corvallis campus. Other nor sels of dope that are being relished by the Aggie fans are that the Beav- CT goal line was never crossed by a conference team, that the only score registered by a conference team were the three points hung up by Huntington of Oregon. and that no team in the conference has had the advantage over the Oregon farmers in any DeC.al n ase ct the gIQlJo- game.

Output is Short.

Output is Short.
 The total gold production of the Iditarod district for the year 1914 will prove somewhat of disappoint ment says the Iditarod Pioneer Ac cording to figures compiled from reliable sources, the total shipments of gold from Iditarod were S2,05s,. 390.40. whereas it was freely predict ed early in the season that the fin al figures would show production of S2,500,000, and some enthusiasts even prophesied that it would reach 5 900 900. The seasons output is but little greater than that for 1913. despite the fact that weather con- dtions were excellent for open-cut mining throughout the district
 The main reason ascribed to the falling off in the expected output is that the two dredges were com Dellei by unfortunate circumstance to close down much earlier than was expected. The Yukon Gold companys dredge, on Flat creek, operated fully three weeks longer last year than this, and the dredge of Riley X Marston, on Otter creek was compelled to close down much earlier than was expected, owing to accidents to the machinery. Weath- CT conditions would have permitted the operation of both dredges until the present time. and it is not at all unlikely that they could have been operating up till the first of the year, as there has been no severe cold as yet
 Another reason why the output did not reach expectations is that the operation of the Otter creek dredge practically put an end to open-cut mining on that creek. and thus, with the output of the dredge curtailed, the returns from that creek were very largely reduced.
 IL is not at all unlikely that an- other dredge will be installed In the district the coming season, and in that case much more ground will be worked next year. when the out put should greatly exceed that of the year just closed.

Baseball a Panacea.

Baseball as a panaCea for militar- ism ridden Europe Is put forth by a Harvard Alumnus. who, has spent some years abroad. In a letter to the Harvard alumni recently. he writes:
 My idea Of the best cure for
 this war condition would be more
 baseball. l believe that if they had
 had a regular baseball league in Europe with Berlin, Paris, London,
 Vienna. Antwerp etc. participating as well as minor league taking in
 Belgrade. Brussels and a few other places. the fans would never have tolerated the breaking out of this
 war during the baseball season. and if they had postponed it until the
 worlds series was over it would have given them all time to cool off. and
 they probably would not have had any war. They say that baseball
 has done more to civiliZe the Philip pines than the American army, con- stabularies, and missionaries put to- gether"

Goldman Burglary Victim Gets
Letter of Thanks from Chill

A modern Robin Hood was the bur-
glar who broke into the tailoring shop
of Louis Goldman, at 120 Central ave-
nue.. on February l. About recon-
ciled to the loss Of an overcoat and
several other articles, Mr.. Goldman
today received a letter from the chill
drens Aid Society thanking him kind
ly for his contribution" of clothing.
Goldman did not altogether under
stand the matter and conferred with
Captain Tuite, of the detective bureau.
The tailoring shop was entered a
week ago on Monday by a thief who
forced 8 rear door. He stole several
minor articles of clothing valued at
about s25. Several days ago a man
left package containing some Of the
clothing at the Childrens Aid Society
home in Mulberry street. He said
that the clothing was gift from l.
Goldman, the tailor.
Yesterday Douglas p. Falconer, sec
retary of the society, looked up Mr..
Goldman's address, framed the thanke
of the society in letter and dis
patched 1t to the tailor. The articles
of clothing are of rather too ample
proportions for the youthful wards of
the society, which will probably have
no objections to returning to Mr.. Gold

Request Owners Have Chance
to Prove Cargo Not Subject

WASHINGTON, Feb. Il. - The
American government has proposed
to Great Britain a postponement OF
the plan to take the American
steamer Wilhelmina before a prize
court, that her owners may have op-
portunity to present evidence which
they contend will prove her cargo not
properly subject to seizure.
Counsel for the owners Of the Will

scented that they can present irrefuta-
BILE evidence to support their argu-
ment. Should the British government
agree to the proposal, action before
a prize court would be unnecessary.
The Wilhelmina is at Falmouth with
toodstuffs consigned for the civil pop
ulation of Germany. Her cargo is
owned by a st. Louis commission
house.

he said, Is that the seizure of the full
cargo is in clear contravention of all
existing principles of international
law" They had been advised, he
said, by Secretary Bryan that they
had a perfect right to make the
shipment and that the State Depart
ment had full knowledge OF all the
facts.
"The pretext under which the Brit
ish government has seized this cargo
is the recent regulations of the Ger
n an Federal Council concerning tho
conservation of grain and -four" he
continued.
1T should be remembered that
prior to the issuance of these reg
ulations and after the Wilhelmina
cleared the port of New York, it was
stated in England that the cargo
would be seized and sent to the prize
court Now, after the issuance of
this German regulation, Great Britain
has shifted her position and bases
her action upon the official conserva-
tion of grain and -four in Germany"
