WANT TO UTILIZE
SWISS DYE WORKS
American Manufacturers Plan to
Meet Scarcity of Product BY Gut
ting on of German Dyes.

Washington, July 13.--Negotiations
were begun yesterday through the
trade advisers in the state department
and the bureau Of foreign and domes-
tic commerce for cooperation be-
tween dye manufacturers of the
United States and Switzerland TO
meet serious scarcity of dyestuffs re-
sulting from the cutting off of Ger
man coal tar dyes.
American manufacturers seek to
utilize the Swiss dye works pending
the development Of the industry In
the United States. The Swiss plants
heretofore have received from Ger
many supplies of so-called inferno

yerted into the finished dyes.
Germany now threatens to cut on
this supply on the ground that the
| finished products were being exported
by Switzerland to France and Eng
| land.

this product shipped to Switzerland

| While efforts are being continued

Berlin authorities refuse to allow any
shipment unless free passage to Ger
! bany is guaranteed for American cot
ton or other products of equal value.

Cereal Crops Are Doing Well.

The following summary OF weather
and its results on the condition Of the
principal crops in Oregon for the week
ending May rs, 1915, is based upon in
vestigations made by number of cor
respondents reporting to the Portland
office of the Weather Bureau:
Showers fell every day in the week
in the Western counties, and on two
or more days in the Eastern portions
of the state. There was much cloudi-
ness, and in consequence the day tenn
peratures were unusually low, but the
night temperatures were about normal
and no damaging frosts were reported.
The weather was especially favor
able for fall and spring-sown cereals,
legume hay crop, pasture and ranges.
Fall wheat is now in the boot and in
some places it has begun to head On
low lands in the Willamette valley the
rains have caused some fields of grain
to turn yellow. Weeds are getting
troublesome and there has not been
enough dry weather to enable the
farmers to do as much cultivation as
necessary. The weather has also beer
too cool for corn to make much prog
ress and it has been very injurious tc
Strawberries, which have rotted on the

Bryan's Plea for Five MexiCans
Needed by Arizona Pardon Board

Phoenix, Ariz.-After every legal
recourse had failed, the mercy plea OF
William ]. Bryan, secretary of state,
which had been rejected by the state
legislature, proved potent to save the
lives of the five Mexicans who were to
have been hanged at Florence peniten-
tiary.
At the last moment the state board
of pardons and paroles, taking cogni-
zance of Mr.. Bryan's request for de-
lay, ordered reprieves of nine weeks
for all of the condemned men and rec
commended that they be executed sep
arately and not together, as was in
tended.
Whether they will be executed at all
depends, however, on the success at
tending future moves in Governor
Hunts fve-year struggle to abolish
the death penalty in Arizona.
The condemned men had been bound
and made ready for the plunge through
the gallows trap, when the board OF
pardons and paroles made known Its
decision to grant delay. The de
cision was expressed in a resolution
adopted after a session lasting al
morning. This resolution declared
that the secretary of state had seen n
to recommend reprieves, in view o
the executions on American interest
in Northern Mexico, the board ha'
concluded to recommend delay.

Wool Sale Falls Flat.

Pendleton-No wool sales were con-
summated at Echo, buyers and grow
ers being unable to agree. Seven
clips, containing 290, 900 pounds, were
put up for bids, drawing offers of from
lag to 10 cents for fine and 26s cents
for coarse grades, but growers held out
for 20-cent basis. One hundred
thousand pounds in warehouses was
not offered. Bidders were numerous
but not laxative.
Growers talk of pooling and ship
ping the combined clip to Portland for
sale. Several predict that the poor
offers for feeces will cause sheep
prices to drop 81 head all over the
state. Eight hundred yearlings were
sold by J. C. Hoskins, of Echo, at "a
head.
Many buyers are in Pendleton fol-
the sale here, with $50, 900 pounds II

as indicating the probable trend of the
market at Pendleton and Pilot Rock

President Wilson's Appeal May
PreSage Intervention.
AID ASKED FOR STARVING POPULATION
Recognition Of Either Faction is Not
Now Contemplated Plea for
Humanity Most Urgent.

Washington, d. C.-President Will
son has decided to serve notice on all
the warning factions in Mexico that
conditions in that country have become
intolerable and that unless they them
selves compose the situation soon some
other means may have to be employed
to accomplish the result.
The first intimation of the Presi-
dents determination to take this step
came in his appeal issued as head OF
the American Red Cross, setting forth
that "due to several years of internal
disturbances, the unfortunate people
of many parts of Mexico have been re-
duced to the verge of starvation, and
urging contributions to relief funds.
Later the White House gave out the
following:
"When the Presidents appeal for
aid for the Mexicans was issued 1T was
also stated at the executive offices
that statement from the President
on the present situation in Mexico
might be expected within the next
few days"
This statement has been prepared
and will be issued after the cabinet
meeting Tuesday and then commune
Gated to the leaders of all the Mexican
factions.
Officials at the White House anC
State department declined to say whaf
the Presidents statement contained
but denied that recognition of any fac
ton was now contemplated. 1t wa
said authoritatively that while Friends
of Carranza here had been pressing TO
recognition, the Washington govern
ment had not been impressed with tn
ability of any of the contending chief
to restore order.
The impression in executive quar-
tiers was that one purpose would be
place responsibility for the presen
state of affairs squarely on the mill
tary elements in the Southern reput
lie, which have overrun the countr
and appropriated its food supply {

Painless Dentistry.

A new combination Of drugs, manu-
featured by Lilly & Co, Chemists, Is
proving OF much interest to dentists and
persons interested in painless dentistry.
IL contains neither cocaine nor arsenic,
but is a combination of neothesin, triox-
methylene and thymol, which thoroughly
desensitizes the tooth. but does not de-
vitalize OF injure the nerve. IL means at
last that dentists can fill or crown teeth
without pain.
Another preparation OF extreme value
used in the extraction Of teeth Is novo-
cain and suprarenin. 1t is a German prod
uct, and by far the most wonderful Of all
the local anaesthetics. Many Of the lead
ing surgeons Of the world are using il
today in major surgery. AS many as
thirty-two teeth have been taken out
with it's use, the patient not feeling a
twinge Of pain.
