WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE ad-
m.nistrauon practically decided to-
day to end the informal conferences
between Lansing and Bernstorff and
dispatch formal note TO Germany
emphasizing the need Of uneQuivocal
assurances about Teutonic warfare
The only thing possible to frustrate
this plan is the arrival Of definite as
surances that the Teuton'c proclama-
tion Of warfare against armed mer-
chantmen will not become effective
March l. 1t was reported the admin
stration has concluded that the con.
fidential discussions of the situation
have outlived their usefulness be-
cause OF the personal animosity be-
tween Lansing and Bernstorff.
Lansing and the president eonferr-
&c half an hour at the White House
about the Lusitania situation. Upon
leaving, Lansing refused to say what
was discussed. Friends are eXerting
pressure ON Wilson to give the coun-
try a clear idea If the status of the ne
gotiatious, exactly what America de-
mands and how long the administra-
ton intends to pursue its diplomatic
chase In response To this demand
the president is planning To throw a
little light on the situation.

BRIEFS FROM HOLMAN'S ADDREs 5
ON GOOD ROADS.

Today the women of Oregon can vote and i. is within
their power to build such roads in our men
have never yet had the initiative to plan and finance
hope they will grasp their opportunity.
The development of state and the prosperity Of our
citizens depend more today good roads than upon
any other thing Oregon does not need railroads so much
she needs good roads
In my opinion every county in Oregon should have
prepared under the direction of a competent highway
engineer program for the development of a country
road system which can be followed year after year
1t is no longer question of how steep grades we can
travel but how steep grades travel economically.
1t no longer question of how short turn make
but how short turn make safely.
1t is no longer question of the lowest first cost of
surface we can maintain in roads but of the lowest u
innate cost at which maintain the surface on our
roads
True economy demands the holding of all expense
items to the absolute minimum while it also demands that
adequate expenditure chargeabe to Investments shall
be made that the ordinary demands of our daily COM
merce may be prosecuted with facility and convenience
Umatila county successfully solve the road prob.
lens which are common to every county in the state and
she will obtain for herself and for us who wish her and
her people we'll that high state of development and pros
perity which she richly deserves

BUYS FARM IN
new YORK STATE

R. w. Mcfarland has purchased a
farm near ChautauQua, New York, and
will leave in a short time to improve
the place. He says good land in that
part of the Empire state can be pur-
chased for $50, $40 and $50 an acre.
He has secured 130 acres, for portion
of which he paid only $50 an acre. The
land belonged to an aged couple, and
the returns from renting have not been
satisfactory. One real estate agent
sold seventy farms during the past
year. Many of the farms are occupied
by elderly people who are not able to
do the work and must either rent or
SELL Mr. Mcfarland says the soil is
good and many concerns are anxious
for the milk produced on the farms.
In many places the buildings have be-
come dilapidated and repairs must be
made With Mrs. Mcfarland and AL
ford Heytons, Mr.. Mcfarland will
leave in an automobile in a few days
to spend several weeks on the farm.
After repairs have been made, Mr..
Heytons, who came from Belgium, will
take charge of the place and the own
ers will return. Mr.. Mcfarland sold
his farm in Virginia some time ago
and since disposing of the place in the
town of Delton, the couple has been
staying in their cottage at Newport.
They will return to the banks of the
Wisconsin later in the summer.
