Barnett-EgglestOn.

An event of unusual interest
to a very large number of friends
and relatives was the marriage
of Mr., Thomas Layton Barnett
and Miss Annie Wood Eggleston,
both of this city, which occurred
Wednesday afternoon at four
o'clock in the Presbyterian
church. The church was beau
tifully decorated with pink crys-
anthemums, palms and ferns,
and the affair, while simple in
detail, showed the characteristic
good taste of the bride and those
assisting her.
Promptly at four o'clock Miss
Winifred Winn played the first
number of a short musical pro-
gram, which included a trio by
Mesdames Moorehead and Allen
and Miss Lucille Reagan, and a
solo by Miss Reagan; the Lohen-
grin Bridal Chorus was played
by Miss Winn as the bridal
party entered.
Mesdames Patterson, Rogers
and Sherman, Misses Bates,
Field and Gordon who assisted
as ushers preceded the bride and
groom, but took seats with the
guests. Miss Eggleston and Mr..
Barnett were met at the altar
by DR.. E. C. Gordon, of st. Louis,
who pronounced the marriage
ceremony.
The bride wore a gown of
white satin, a short veil and car
ried the conventional bouquet of
brides roses, but an interesting
and unconventional touch was
the trimming of the brides gown
with a handsome lace bertha
which had decorated the we'd
ding dress of her grandmother
sixty years ago. She also woyt
her grandmother's pearls anC
the gift of the groom, a beauti.
fully designed platinum bar pir
set with diamonds and pearls.
Mr.. and Mrs. Eggleston re-
ceived a large number of theil
friends at their home on South
street Immediately after the
ceremony where sincerest gooC
wishes and congratulations were
rendered Mr., and Mrs. Barnett
After the bride cut the wedding
cake plate luncheon was served
and then the guests were giver
opportunity to see the wedding
presents-these were exception
ally handsome and numerous.
Mr.. and Mrs. Barnett KEEP
their honeymoon trip a profounC
secret. They, however, left at :
o'clock in an auto-destinatiol
unknown.

Interest Increasing.

There was another fine au-
dience at the revival service at
the Christian Church last night,
and DIR. Frank preached a very
interesting sermon on the sub
ject: 1.-TWO Fundamental Facts
About Sin." The two facts he
dweIt upon were those suggest
ed by the texts; "Be sure your
sin will find you OUT and "He
hath not dealt with US after our
sins, nor rewarded us according
to our iniquities." The singing
was excellent. Members of
other churches are very gra-
ciously assisting in the work of
the chorus. The subject an
nounced for this evening is:
"The Forgiveness of Sim"

MexiCans Routed in U. S. Cavalry
Charge and fOrty-twO Are Killed

FL Paso, Tex. - General Pershing g
official report of the defeat of band
of Villas men at Ojo-Azules Thursday
by Major Howe, received here Satur-
day, described the action as cavalry
charge with pistols, the first to occur
since operations were begun. The
men had ridden 80 miles from San
Antonio to Ojo-Azules, II miles south
west of Cusihuiriachic.
The pursuit of the scattered Mexi-
cans Is being continued. Information
that the band was near Ojo-Azules had
been secured by General Pershing two
days before. 1t was said to have at
tackled and defeated Carranza force a
few days before that. The commanders
were Cruz Dominguez, Antonio Ange-
les and Julio Acosta.
General Pershing reported that the
counted dead was az. Seventy-five
horses and mules were taken from the
Meixcans and six Carranza prisoners
they had been holding for execution.
Many wounded are reported, but the
number was not given. The Ameri-
cans had no casualties.

Holding of Oats Raises Price.

Not enough oats are offered to keep
up with the present demand and the
holding back of supplies is slowly but
surely forcing up prices. There is q
difference OF opinion in the trade as
to the quantity of oats remaining in
the country, some dealers declaring
that stocks have been reduced to a
point much below expectations, while
others assert that the unsold supply
is heavy and that the carry-0ver into
the new crop will be Of record size.
Whichever side is right, there is nc
question as to the bullishness of hold
ers, and their refusal to sell has
brought about a stronger market. For
prompt delivery, $26.25 was offered at
the Merchants exchange yesterday
and $26.75 was asked. The same price
was bid for June oats and $3.50 was
asked. On the Sound, the demand for
oats was stronger than here. A part
of the strength of the market is cred.
tied to the pending government order.
The barley market derives much of
its strength from California, where
continued dry, warm weather is each
day lessening the chance of a good
crop.

About Oregon
Cattle Losses Prove Small;
Outlook for Livestock Good

Baker.-After hearing rosy reports
on present conditions and the future
Of the livestock industry in the north
west, the third annual convention OF
the Oregon Cattle and Horse Raisers'
association began movements for the
further betterment Of the business.
Two hundred and fifty members,
one-half of the total enrolment, had
registered and more are expected, SO
that attendance records are likely to
be broken. The city Is decorated and
everyone Is vieing to entertain the
visitors from Oregon, Washington, Ida
no, Nevada and other states.
Mayor G. l.. Palmer, Secretary w. Z.
Meacham, Of the Baker commercial
club, and Circuit Judge Anderson
greeted the members to Baker, and
Walter E. Pierce, Of La Grande, re-
sponded.
President William Pollman, in his
annual address, said that in spite Of
the severe winter the cattle losses in
the state for the year would be little
more than normal. HIS predicted rec
ord prices for grass-fed cattle next
fall. T. w. Tomlinson, secretary Of
the American Livestock association,
urged brand legislation to stop cattle
thefts in shipments to the east.
The resolution to recommend to the
State Sanitary board that no further
brands be granted IL the brand was
built on another brand and on the
same part of an animal, was adopted.
A modified county inspection law per-
mitting cattle to pass from one county
to another by bill Of sale or inspection

BfRllN'S CHARGE OF DISCRIMINATION
TO Be DENIED BY PRESIDENT WILSON

Washington, d. c. - Study Of the
German submarine note is convincing
President Wilson's advisers that an
other reply must be made in order to
answer certain charges against the
United States made in that document.
These charges are:
First-That the United States had
Disseminated against Germany and in
favor of Great Britain in its demands
that international law be obeyed.
Second - That the United States
would have brought freedom Of the
seas had it insisted on its rights
against Great Britain.
Third-That he United States has
aided Germany's enemies by supply
ing them with all kinds of war mater
ials.
The President and his advisers de-
clare there has been no discrimination
for or against any belligerent since the
war began.
To bring about the adoption of a
submarine policy based on the recog-
nized basis of international law, it was
necessary for the United States to con-
duct negotiations with Germany which
have extended over a period of 13
months. For 15 months the United
States has been negotiating with Great
Britain and her allies to put stop to
violations of international law leveled
against neutral commerce.
Mr.. Wilson holds, his advisers de-
clare, that it was far more important
to obtain protection for human life
than it was to arrange for protection
for dollars, and it was for this reason
that he proceeded with such vigor
gainst Germany. Attention is called
to the representations and protests
which have been made to Great Bri-
tain and France as proof of the effort
of the administration to prevent the
seizure of innocent goods by ships of
the allied powers.
If Germany will give the government
here chance, it is declared, Germany
will have no reason to complain of the
lack of vigor of the President.

pressed by only hint in the document,
but was presumably amplified in verbal
communications with the American
ambassador. Germany now is at the
top of her military achievement. If
she can make peace now it would be or
terms more favorable than later. II
she can strongly enlist American pub
lie opinion that is great step toward
the accomplishment of this object.
''In such situation the allies cause
needs plain declaration by the allied
statement that no peace negotiations
are admissible at the present stage.
Public opinion in the allied and neutral
countries needs to be clearly reminded
of the essential issues underlying the
present struggle"

miles northward to make their attack
on Glenn Springs, which is fringed by
rugged hills. At Glenn Springs they
wrecked a wax factory belonging to
VILLAIN Ellis, his store and residence,
besides one or two other small build
ings.

Fruit Outlook Good.

Hood River.-Prospects for record
yields of all varieties of fruits were
never better in the Hood River valley.
81 have examined cherries, peaches
and apricots," says e. H. Shepard,
editor of Better Fruit" "and SO far
as / could discover not the least dam
age has been caused by the frost or
cold rains. When apricots have not
been injured you may be sure that no
other fruit has been hurt"
The profit from the years straw
berry crop, now estimated at about ITS
carloads, should set a high water
mark. The 1916 apple crop is estim-
ated at from 100000 to 100000, the
largest in the community's history.
