LACK OF MERCHANT SHIPS
SENDS PRICE OF PIPE UP
GALVANIZED ARTICLE INCREAS-
ED 20 PER CENT IN THIS
COUNTRY.

Local people as we'll as those in
other sections of the northwest are
now paying in the form of higher
prices for galvanized pipe the PEN
atty for lack of merchant ships.
When the Panama canal was first
opened the rate on galvanized pipe
to the Pacific coast by water ws SS
cents per hundred while the rail rate
was 65. Since that time due to the
shortage of ships the water rate was
advanced to as cents.
Now comes the word to plumbing
houses that no freight can be ac-
cepted In New York for shipment
through the canal because the con
gestion on the docks is so heavy the
ships available are wholly unable to
handle the business.
1--WE have been notified that no
freight will be received for shipment
prior to June l." says C. p. DeRea-
mer representative of Crane & Co.,
who Is here today. Consequently
shipments now must be by rail and
quotations are being made on that
basis"
Another factor that is contrlbut-
ing to higher prices on pipe is the
fact spleter, used in galvanizlng pipe
is used for war purposes and the
price has doubled since the war.
The price OF galvanized pipe has
thus far risen 20 per cent, due chief
ly to the lack OF ships to handle bus
iness through the canal.

CITY OF MOSLEMS
Turks Said to HaVeInformed London
That no Defense Of CONSTANT.

by william Shepherd.

LONDON. March 5.-Constantino-
PIE will not be bombarded. The old
Turks have sent word to England
that II the Anglo French fleet sue
ceeds in battering its way through
the Dardanelles and steams toward
Constantinople they will flee TO Asia
in order to save the historic city
from destruction. This statement
was made by a high official OF the
British government.
II was learned from other sources
by the British government that the
1slanic Turks will flee as soon as
the allied fleet passes the Dardan-
elles narrows and the capital will
be surrendered
Rumors were current that the
Russians will be permitted by the al.
lies to take possession OF Para, a su-
burb OF Constantinople, but that the
Dardaaelles will be declared neutral

COURT REFUSES TO ALLOW
BRADLEY BILL FOR $500
EFFORT To SECURE EXTRA
MONEY FROM COUNTY
ENDS IN FAILURE.

Having failed. It is said. to Undue
the legislature TO raise his salary,
G. w. Bradley. county treasurer. this
week at the regular term OF the coun-
" court made an effort TO secure ex-
ira money out Of the county for his
services In collecting the 1918 taxes.
He presented a bill for $500 but the
court promptly and unanimously re-
fused to allow 1t.
The treasurer's present salary is
$500 year and was this same am
mount before the duty OF collecting
taxes was imposed upon his office
Inasmuch as there was extra work
end more responsibility. II has been
Mr.. Bradly's contention that his sal
airy is inadequate. Mr.. Bradley
made two trips to Salem during the
meeting OF the legislature and II Is
said sought TO have a bill presented
increasing his salary but could not
secure the endorsement OF the Una
tilla county delegation.
The discovery Of the bill for $500
among the other bills was the first
intimatlon that members Of the court
had that he intended to ask for ad-
ditional emolument. When the tax
collection was taken from the sheriff
and given to the treasurer. the eoun-
ty court permitted Mr.. Bradley to
secure deputy for the entire year
and hire additional help during tax
collection time.
In the opinion OF the members OF
the court this additional help is suf-
ficient to take care OF the tax coll
lection, leaving the county treasurer
with the same duties he had prior TO
the time the tax department was put
in his office. Inasmuch as the last
legislature restored the tax collection
10 the sheriff, Mr., Bradley will doubt
less lose his assistants as soon as the
law goes into effect.

Salute the bonny Highlanders. Led
by Clan Chief McMonies they have
won the inter-team bowling tourna-
ment which has been the chief in
door sport attraction Of the winter.
When the Kaisers last evening lost
their last battle of the tournament
to the Allies by the scant margin OF
seven pins, they also lost all hope OF
overcoming the lead which the Scots
had piled up.
However. the Kaisers not only
have the consolation of taking sec
ond money out of the tournament but
their leader. Loren Hoover, came
forth as winner of the cup put up by
Herman Peters for the bowler max
ing the best individual record. He
beat out the two other stars, Pat Nc
Dewitt and Fred Book. by close mar
gins and, as all three were in the
match last night, there was some ex-
citement. McDevitt made the top
score for the three games last even
ing, making 623. but Hoover made
6O4 and kept his lead. Book got a
bad start and made about the lowest
score that he made in any of the
matches.
The final outcome of the tourna-
