BY rapid maneuvers the ships were
able to avoid the submarines, while the

he unlike that Of any similar course
ever before offered in Oregon. The
progressive citizens Of the state who

Ttalv Irritates Vienna.

Veniee--Italy's expedition In Av-
Iona, which she occupied several days
ago, appears to have produced consid-
cradle irritation at Vienna, according
to advices from the Austrian capital.
It Ia thought there that possibly the
suddenness of the Italian move may
have disturbed plans attributed to
Prince Won Buelow's mission at Rome,
which Is said to have included an offer
of Southern Albania TO Italy upon her
agreeing TO certain conditions.

Formers Fear Ffeezeout.

Pendleton-Though nearly 100, 600
bushels Of club wheat have been sold
in Pendleton during the past few days
at $1.l0 q bushel, the highest price
ever paid here, local growers Of grain
are far from happy. The continued
cold weather, with the absence OF
either snow or rain, is responsible for
their depressed state of mind, and
many Of them already have visions Of
being compelled to reseed their ground
in the spring with seed wheat worth
anywhere from 81. so to 80 bushel.
