FIRE FIGHTERS
SIGMA NJ HOUSE SUFFERED DIS
ASTROUS BLAZE AT EARLY
HOUR THIS MORNING
Loss Estimated at $6O0-PrOmpt Work
of Students Prevented Total
Destruction

Activity on the part of the Sigma
Nu boys at their fraternity house at
$3.50 this morning probably prevented
the complete destruction of the hand
some new home of the fraternity.
Fire was discovered in the house when
the boys were awakened by volums of
smoke emitting from the living room.
Unable to reach their telephone to
turn in an alarm, their cries of fire
awakened Miss French, dean of wOm-
ell, who occupies quarters in Riden-
baugh hall. Miss French Immediately
telephoned the alarm
Moscow residents were awakened
from a deep slumber by the vigorous
ringing of the alarm and the fire de-
partments responded quickly, but be-
fore it's arrival the fraternity boys had
gained control of the flames which had
worked it's way through the ceiling,
destroying valuable furniture and rugs,
flooring and walls and seriously dam
aging new piano. The loss was es-
timated at 5000. The loss was cover
ed by insurance. Investigation indi-
dated that the fire was caused by de-
'ective fue.

CHASE MAY END
VILLA IS DEAD
GENERAL PERSHING EXPECTED
TO VIEW BODY OF SUPPOSED
MEXICAN BANDIT
General Funston Expecting Confrna-
tiOn or Denial This Afternoon
Americans OFF to Meet Train

By the United Press Associations
SAN ANTONIO, April 17-General
Pershing left Cusihuirahic today to
view teh body exhumed near here,
which the Mexicans claim to be that
of Villa. He should give General
Funston positive advices within a few
hours unless the body is so decom-
posed as to make it impossible of
identification.
The train left Juarez this morning
carrying Americans who are expected
to meet the train bearing the body
which is supposedly that of Villas at
Chihuahua. Carlos Carranza, a nep-
hew of the defacto president, is due at
Chihuahua today escorting the body.
Mexicans stated that iVla was hit
during the battle of Guterrero His
followers then carried him to Temos-
ACHE where the village doctor amput-
ated his infected leg. alter he was
taken to Cusihuiriachic where it is re-
ported he died and was buried secret
ly at lonely spot.
Rioting at chihuahua which is re-
ported to have been due to excitement
over Villas death, is now attributed
to hunger. Small wages and famine
prices have placed food beyond the
reach of poor FAMILIES. 1t wasn't an
anti-American demonstration.

WHEAT FORECAST
IN THREE STATES
EXPERT AT PORTLAND PREDICTS
DECREASED ACREAGE
AND YIELD
Expects Better Returns Than Normal
Due to Crop Shortage Outlook
Throughout the World
BY Hyman H. Cohen
(Written for the United Press and the
Oregon Journal)

(Written for the United Press and the
Oregon Journal)
PORTLAND, Or, April 17.-All over
the world the 1916 wheat crop prom
ises to show most serious decrease
from that of 1915.
: In most sections of the world the
E [decreased production outlook is due
to the falling off in the area planted to
this cereal, but in many instances the
crop has passed through the winter
with a very liberal amount of winter
killing of plants and other damage.
In the Pacific Northwest the condi-
ton of the crop is most excellent and
better than an average yield per acre
is the present outlook. Notwithstand-
ing this, the total production of wheat
in Oregon, Idaho, and Washington
now promises to show a decrease from
1915. There is a very material de-
crease in the acreage. This is the
leading reason for the expected drop
III the total volume expected during
the coming harvest.
From over 200 special crop cor
respondents located in practically
every growing district in the North
west, returns indicate that the area of
winter wheat available at this time
for the coming harvest is showing a
total of but 2,075.000 acres compared
with a showing at this time in 1915
of 2,450,000 acres.
The spring planting returns of the
1,240,000 acres compared with $780,,
900 acres in 1915. Therefore, the to-
tar spring area planted is showing a |
heavy decrease from year ago in
stead of the increase expected earlier |
as a result of the smaller fall sowing. |
Total area planted to wheat in the |
three states for the 1916 crop reaches
3,315,000 acres, compared with $780,
600 acres in 1915 and 3,627,000 acres in
1914. Therefore the present crop area
is the smallest in three years.
On the basis of normal production
on the acreage indicated, the wheat
crop in Oregon now looks like 20,000,- |,
bushels, Idaho 100000 bushels, and
Washington 35,O00,OOO bushels =
grand total of 100000 bushels. The
last returns of the 1915 crop showed
grand total of 100000 bushels.
The total acreage planted to wheat
in the Pacific Northwest for three
years is as follows: 1914, 1927 900; +;
1915, 3,840,0O0; 1916, 3,315,0O0.
