Prophecies Shattered.

There were supposedly wise men in

hour or two Of the vote on the Gore
resolution. now matter of compare
lively recent history, that the affair
was sure to he settled one way be-
cause it could not be settled any 9TH
er way. The prophets saw their
prophecies shattered within fifteen
minutes of Their utterance. Some SEN
ators voted one way or another, and
then made speeches exactly counter
to their votes The whole proceeding
was enough to distract the minds of
men who tried to get any logical de-
auctions from the course of affairs
and from the fns vote.
The same condition of things was
true in the house when the McLemore
resolution finally came under direct
discussion. THIS was a resolution
also intended to warn Americans from
taking passage on belligerent passen-
ger ships which had guns mounted for
defense. In the house, from hearing
the first speeches, "A stranger could not
tell which was the Republican side OF
the chamber and which the Democrat.

The Preparedness Bills.

The Preparedness Bills.
Take the preparedness bills for in
stance. During the preliminaries OF
the framing of preparedness bills in
house and senate the two committees
of the two bodies charged with the
work of preparing legislation were
shown to be completely at odds with
each other on the matter of the proper
handling of the subject in hand. The
chairman of the senate committee on
military affairs wanted a continental
army such as had been suggested by
the administration. The leader of the
house committee on military affairs
was utterly opposed to the plan for
a continental army and was in favor
of great strengthening of the militia
and a comparatively small increase in
the regular army.
1t was impossible for anybody to
of things would give way. Today
both the house and senate have re
ported military preparedness bills and
while it was thoroughly believed al
the outset that they would be radical
| ly different in all their provisions
coalescing of views, but the two meas
lres still are almost Numerically op
posed one to the other.
There will be compromise of some
kind between house and senate on the
military preparedness bill and it I:
perfectly apparent that there must be
compromises between the two house:
on other bills such as those affectine
the navy and on some other matters
| of high Importance. In the senate
there are many members who favol
the plan OF the house. So it is cas-,
enough to see how utterly impossible
it has been and still is for the proph
cts to foretell accurately the outcom,
on these big defense measures.
In the matter of the resolution warn
ing Americans not to travel on armed
liners belonging to belligerent coun
tries, the membership in house ant
senate has BEEN divided not into par
ties but into groups irrespective o
party. The divisions in the tw,
houses show no trace of Republican
ism or Democracy, but are bot
marked deeply with the signs of bot
parties. Old members say that neve
in their memory has there been sucl

Geo. Evans led the discussion on the
subject of winter pruning and its
effects at the meeting of the Mosier

Lee Evans believes that pruning in

Bond Issue Must Be Settled Soon

At a meeting of Dufur citizens Sat.

Dufur people remained steadfastly OF
the opinion that the Dalles. California

from The Dalles south and on through
Oregon into California was of more
Importance to a larger number of the

plea of 5000, 900 for the Dalles- Califor-
MIA highway presented resolution to
that effect to the Wasco County Good
Roads association signed by about so
of the prominent men of that section.
The proposition of bonding the
county to build good roads has been
receiving its share of attention since
the public meeting when so wide a
division of opinion was found to pre-

and the section. farther west including
