While the governors have about
all sent in their regrets to Ford and
will not accompany the peace ship
on its cruise across the Atlantic.
Henry will have a ship full when he
weighs anchor. From all over the
union college students are sending
in acceptances, and some men of ma
tional prominence are sending their
private secretaries, When Europe
sees shipload OF American college
boys looming up over the horizon
those war-tired boys will surely
jump out OF the trenches to give
them the glad hand. So "out Of the

boast.

would be expensive, but the land
would stand 1t. Irrigation is prac-
ticed in an amateur way along some
OF the streams in the county, but
the farmers are not accustomed to
the work and the best results are not
obtained.
It is conceded by fruit growers
that irrigation must come before the
size and color of fruit can be regu-
lated and high grade packs guaran-
teed. On the other hand, alfalfa
could be raised cheaply and the dairy
business would quickly develop.
Nature Encourages Laziness
Men are not entirely to blame be-
cause Josephine county has not been
developed; because the land has not
been rightly titled. Nature afforded
the lazy man the chance OF his life
in the hills and along the water
courses, and making living has been
little less than a joke. With no
effort at all a man could live, and,
being able to do so, naturally the
average isolated man would become
lazy and wait for mama and quail
which never failed to appear before
he became really hungry.
These cruel facts seem to account
for the lack of land development, and

LOCATING THE CAUSE.

With taxes constantly mounting
higher, it is NO wonder that many
communities OF the west view the
situation with alarm. The property
owner finds himself muleted for his
thrift, and investors are kept from
putting their wealth into enterprises
for the development of districts bur-
dened with top-heavy taxes. But
the trouble must not all be laid at
the door Of county courts and Of
school boards or OF city councils.
More and more have higher authori-
ties stepped in and placed the con-
troll Of nearly all the branches of
government, state. county and muni-
cipality, in the hands Of high priced
boards and commissions till there is
little left for the officials Of the small
er divisions to do. We elect county
Judge and two commissioners, con-
stituting the county court, upon
which is supposed to devolve the ad-
ministration of the affairs of the
county. 1t makes up the annual
budget and announces the tax levy.
Then the public damns It because the
taxes are high. But glance at the
budget" will show where much of
the trouble lies.
Oregon has been placed in the
very lead Of the states that are class
ed as producers Of freak" legisla-
ton. This legislation for which the
taxpayers are now paying the PEN
atty was ground out by the legisla-
tive mill, and the people themselves
made the mill. Inspectors of about
everything that the legislature could
think of were created, their salaries
fixed, but the raising of the cash for
the salaries was left to the county
court. Pensions for the widows were
provided for, and practically no dis
cretion left the individual county but
to tax itself as directed under the
law. While this is commendable
law in principle, it was left so full
of loopholes that through 1t the pub
lie is often imposed upon. There
are sealers of weights and measures
water masters, county fairs, elections
court expenses, fruit and stock in
spectors, salaries Of county officials
all wished upon the county by legis
latures that seemed intent upon Civ
ing everybody in the state job O
pension. The county pays the bill
and about all there now is to tn
making OF the budget, and the fixin
OF the tax levy to cover it, is t
figure out Just what the statute pro
vides.
A good place to commence tax re
form at the fountain head. Lo
off many of the boards and commits
sions whose chief duty seems to b
to see that the people pay all tn
traffic will bear. Give the loca
bodies little more discretion in ad
ministering the affairs of the localit,
Oregon is strangled near to deaf
with red tape and with administra
ton OF the wrong sort willed to
by some OF It's former freak" legis
latures. The way to get from unde
is to create a new sentiment in tn
legislature and WELD the ak for a
least one session. II all the mex
session OF the state law makers doe
is to remove burdensome laws fror
the statute books It will have wo
a place IN the hall OF fame and viii
have blazed the way toward tax re
duction.

NARROW ESCAPE FOR BOAT
DANGEROUS Explosives Are Discovered
Aboard White Star Liner Arabic
in Nick of Time.

New York.-The great transatlantic
liner Arabic, owned by the White Star
Company, has had narrow escape
from serious accident and perhaps de-
struction at sea, as the result of the
discovery of dynamite concealed
aboard the steamer before she sailed
from this port for Liverpool July 28.
The explosive, in such state OF de-
terioration that the slightest jar would
have exploded it, according to ex-
perts, was discovered by stewardess
ON board the liner. 1t was carefully
concealed between the hot and cold
water pipes. The explosive was
wrapped in newspapers.
The steamer sailed with more than
10000 tons of cargo. almost all OF
which was war supplies, and 1S0 pas
sengers, among them IL Americans.

CAR HOLDS vIsTuLA FORT
Strong Position Still Garrisoned to
Fight Germans and Prevent Them
Using Railroad and Rlvers

| London.-With the exception of the
great entrenched camp of Novogeor-
gievsk, the Russians have evacuated
the whole line of the Vistula River.
Ivangorod, the southern fortress. hav-
| ing fallen into the hands Of the Aus
tro-German army, the Russians are
making their way eastward to the
Brest- -Litovsk line.
The decision Of the general staff to
leave the garrison in Novogeorgievsk
Is announced in Petrograd dispatches.
The object is - deprive the Germans
of the use of railway communications
and of the Vistula River for bringing
up supplies for their armies.
Novogeorgievsk is situated at the
junction of the vistula, Narew and
Wkra rivers, to the northwest Of War
saw. 1t has two powerful bridgeheads.
eight citadels and IA redoubts con-
tanning IL and 12-inch batteries. 1t is
calculated by military observers here
that an army corps can hold out there
for many months, as the camp is pro-
tected by massive earthworks, which
doubtless have been enlarged and I'M
proved since the Russians were COM
PEELED to begin their retiremnt.
The laying of siege to Novogeor-
gievsk may prove one of the most in
teresting operations of the war, as
it doubtless will show whether earth
works are less susceptible to the fire
of high explosives than are cupola
forts.
Of the retiring Russian armies the
official reports say nothing. The Rus
slams, however, destroyed bridges
over the Vistula and placed other OBJ
stacles in the path of their pursuers,
while others of their forces continue
to offer stubborn resistance to the
Germans and Austrians south and
north who are trying to forge ring
around them.

UNYIELDING IN FRYE CASE
Berlin Will Not Admit That Treaty
With u. S. Violated When Ship
Was Sunk.

Washington-Germ is unyielding
in her refusal to concede that the sink
ing of the American ship William r.
Frye by the auxiliary cruiser Prinz
Eitel FREDERICK in the South Atlantic
last January was violation of Ameri-
can rights under the Prussian- -Ameri-
can treary or international law.
In reply to the last American rep
resentations, the German foreign Of
flee, In note made public here, reiter-
ates a previous justification OF Ger
many's course, reiterates her willing
ness to pay for the ship and accepts a
proposal first advanced by the United
States-that the amount Of damages
be fixed by two experts, one to be se-
lected by each country.
Such a sum the German government
pledges itself to pay promptly, with
the stipulation, however, that the pay
ment shall not be viewed as salts
faction for violation of American
rights. Should that method be unsat-
isfactory, Germany invites the United
States to arbitration at The Hague.
The unofficial view here is that rep
aration by a commission of experts
probably will be satisfactory to the
United States with the express proyis-
ion, however, that it is not waiver
of treatry rights for which the United
States contends, but applies only to
the matter of damages.
The entire dispute revolves about
the treaty of 1928, which the United
States contends specifically protected
the William P. Frye from being sunk,
although it did not protect contra
band cargo. Germany takes an oppo-
site view, holding that the articles
only obliges her to pay damages.

GERMANS TAKE WARSAW
Prince Leopold, Heading Bavarians,
Enters Polish Capital August 8.
Russians Retreat Orderly.

London.-The Germans hold War
saw, capital of Poland, and the third
largest city in the Russian empire.
Bavarian troops entered the city on
the morning of August 5, having taken
successfully the Blonie lines and the
outer and inner fortresses of the city
itself, the Russians only fighting rear
guard actions to allow their main
army to escape.
While the Bavarians under Prince
Leopold has fallen the honor Of taking
over Warsaw in the name of the Ger
man emporer and his consort, who are
expected to make state entry within
a few days, the real conquerors are
Won Hindenburg's troops, fighting
along the Narew river to the north
east; the Austro-G Germans, who crossed
the Vistula to the south of the city,
and the armies of the Austrian Arch
duke Joseph Ferdinand and the Ger
man field marshal, Won Mackensen,
advancing northward between the Wis
tula and Bug rivers.
The Russians are fighting desper-
ately and stubbornly to check the
progress of these four armies and
have had several successes, infiicting
heavy losses on their pursuers, but
they are being steadily pressed back
and this made the longer occupation
of the Warsaw salient a hazardous
undertaking.
Even now, although the steadiness
of the Russian troops and their fierce
counter-atacks have gained much val
liable time for them, it is problemati
cal whether the whole Russian army
will reach new positions chosen OF
whether, If it should get there, 1t will
not find those positions turned by the
Austrians who have crossed the Bus
southeast of Chelm and the Germans
under Won Scholz and Won Gallwitz
who have crossed the Narew.
From refugees who left Warsaw
some days ago and have arrived al
Moscow, it has been learned that War
saw even at that early date had beer

MEXICAN OUTLAWS MAKE TWO
ATTACKS AGAINST TEXAS
RANCH HOUSE
FIVE AMERICANS WoUEDED
Several MexIcans Believed to Have
Met Death in Charge. United
States Soldiers Hurried to
Relieve Situation.

Harlingen, Tex. Five American
ranchmen were wounded. two seri-
ously, and several Mexican outlaws re.
ported killed and wounded in q fight
between Texas Rangers and Ameri-
can ranchers and a band of Mexican
bandits at Norias ranch, 10 miles north
of Lyford, Cameron county, Texas, on
the night of August s, according to a
telephone message received here from
Norias. The number of casualties to
the Mexicans, it was said, could not
be ascertained, owing to darkness.
The outlaws, estimated to number
between 80 and 80, attacked the NasF
rias ranch houses shortly before dark.
Fourteen ranchmen barricaded them
selves in the house and defended the
place until 10 o'clock, when, the mes
sage said. the Mexicans withdrew tenn
porarily. Shortly after the bandits
had withdrawn sixteen Texas Rangers
and armed civilians arrived.
At 1890 o'clock the report says the
Maxicans returned and again charged
the house and were met by volley Of
shots from the Rangers and several Of
the Mexicans were killed, the number
not being known. The Mexicans ap~
parently were unaware OF the arrival
of the Rangers and armed citizens and
again withdrew.
A special train left Harlingen car
rying 35 United States soldiers and
IL armed civilians to reinforce the
Americans on the Norias ranch.

DEATH TRAILS AUTO RACE
Two Killed and Two Injured in Initial

was declared the winner, Ralph Null
ford second, Eddie O'Donnell- third.
Joe Cooper was killed during the thir,
ty-eighth lap, when his car literally
sailed over the outer edge of the bowl,
as he was nearing the grand stand,
and landed outside. with Cooper and
his mechanician, Louis Piel, pinned
underneath.
The second accident came near the
close Of the race, when in the 238th
lap Billy Chandler's car crashed
against the inside rail, almost oppo-
site the point where Cooper had met
his death.
Morris s. Keeler, mechanician to
Billy Chandler, was SO badly hurt that
he died at the hospital shortly before
s. o'clock August 8.
Chandler has less than an even
chance for recovery, according to ply
sicians. Piel, one of the victims OF
the first accident, was reported also
to be in a critical condition, with bet
