Manner Of Protecting Oregon

Salem -Oregon's forest protection
agencies since 1912 have waged cam
paign of preparedness" according to
data compiled by State Forester FL
lott. During the period from 1912 to
1915 inclusive the State forester said
that more than 5000 miles of aband-
oned and obstructed trails were made
passable; 729 miles Of strategic new
trails built; 442 miles of telephone
line were constructed and 25 cabins
erected for the use Of lookout men in
the forest service. This work called
for an expediture of $4,000, prac-
tically all of which was borne by the
timber owners.
"The Importance of such work is
unquestioned," said Mr.. Elliott.
Lookout men are Of little value un-
less they can Immediately report the
fires discovered to their county warden
and to the patrolmen in whose district
they occur. 1t is thus necessary that
lookout stations be equipped with tele-
phones and the patrolmen must have
access to them at several points along
their beats

not handle must be able to telephone
to their chief for a fire-fghting crew

President and Congress at Outs
Over Cermany's Proposed Sea Rule

Washington, D. C.-Agitation in
congress for action warning Americans
off armed ships of the European bel
ligerents suddenly grew to such pro-
portions Thursday that Democrats of
the foreign affairs committee voted to
canvass the sentiment of the house on
several pending resolutions of that ma
ture.
Sentiment in the senate in favor of
some such action also was expressed
openly, but at the end of day of sur
prises, tension and agitation such as
has not been seen in congress in some
time, the word came that President
Wilson still was unalterably opposed to
any such action by congress, and that
he would only be embarrassed thereby
in the negotiations with Germany.
Suggestions were widely circulated
that the situation had reached a point
where the President soon would lay it
before congress, that Secretary Lans-
ing might in some way define the at
titude of the government in commu-
nication to Senator Stone, and that a
time had been fixed within which the
United States would expect Germany
to signify her intention to abandon the
announced intention to sink armed
merchant ships without warning.

Armed Traders TO Be Treated
as Warships by Submarines.
U. S. told: TOO LATE TO POSTPONE
Washington Is Advised That Great
Britain Is Not Trusted Many
Broken Pledges Cited.

Washington, D. C.-Germany has
intructed Count Won Bernsstorff to in
form the United States government
that the assurances regarding the fu-
ture continuance of submarine war
fare, given in the Lusitania and Ara
bia cases, still are binding, but that
they apply only to merchantmen of a
peaceful character.
The Government is understood to
contend that armed merchantmen,
without regard to the nature of their
armament, have shown themselves not
to be peaceful, and therefore subject
to destruction without warning.
The instructions direct the German
ambassador particularly to tell Secre-
tary Lansing that British merchant
ment armed ostensibly only for de-
fense, have not assumed the character
Of peaceful traders, but on the con-
trary, they carry guns for the especial
purpose of attacking German subma-
rines. To support this contention, the
Berlin foreign office has sent the am
bassador, for presentation to the State
department, list of at least 20 incl
dents where it is asserted British mer-
chant ships have attacked submarines.
Confidential advices received from
Berlin say that German and Austrian
submarine commanders already have
received their new order and that from
midnight Tuesday they were author
lied to sink without warning all armed
merchant ships of the enemies of Ger
many.
1t was said also that many of the
submarine commanders probably had
left their bases on voyages and that
even should the United States request
the postponement of the opening OF
the campaign, it would, be impossible
to get word to many of the subma-
rines. It was said, however, that SO
far neither the United States nor any
other nation had asked for postpone
ment.
Count Won Bernstorff and other
officials of the German embassy de-
clined to discuss the instructions from
Berlin in any way Monday.
Count Won Bernstorff received his in
structions in reply to a request from
the United States for assurances re-
garding the conduct of submarine
warfare in the future, occasioned by
the memorandum announcing the in
tention of Germany to sink armed
ships without warning, which the ad-
ministration. considered to be inconsist-
ent with the assurances previously
given.
Regardless Of the form in which
the matter is presented to Secretary
Lansing, the German ambassador will
lay much stress on the assurances re-
garding the arming of merchant ships
which were given to the United States
by Great Britain in a memorandum
signed by Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the
British ambassador, August 25, 1914.

HOUSE TO RfMAkE OREGON &
CALIFORNIA LAND GRANT Bill

Washington, d. C.-The house pub
lie lands committee has decided to
frame its own bill for the disposal of
the unsold portions of the Oregon &
California land grant, and decided fur
ther to use the Chamberlain bill, with
the attorney generals amendments, as
the basis on which to construct the
committee substitute. In doing this
the committee rejected the Hawley,
Raker and Wilson bills.
The committee also voted to accept
the attorney generals construction of
the Supreme court decision, and will
proceed on the theory that congress
can do as it pleases with the land grant
SO long as it guarantees to the railroad

There has been no agreement, how

To Sunday School Shot From Ambush

Grants Pass, Ore.-Luther B. Akers,
and his wife, and their team Of two
horses were all killed near Wildersvil-
lie, IL mile from here Sunday morning
about 10 O'Clock by neighbor farmer,

The slayer was lodged in Jail here and
confessed to the shooting.
Bousman lay in ambush by the
roadside as the Akers couple were
driving to Sunday school. Without
warning he fired shots from carbine.
The shooting is the elimination of
a neighbors' quarrel over boundary
fences, hogs at large and similar mat
ters, Of several years duration.
Although the shooting took place in
the morning, the bodies were not dis
covered until evening, as the Akers,
an elderly couple, lived on road that
is not much travelled.

Road Change Permissible.

Salem - "The plans of the State
Highway commission are not like the
laws Of the Medes and Persians, not
subject to change" declared Attorney
General Brown in advising the men,
bers of the commission that they could
change the state road map prepared by
ex-State Highway Engineer Bowlby.
The question was put to the attorney
general by the commission, which de-
sires to change the route of a state
road in Washington county, it being
found that another route is more
suitable. John H. Albert, of the ad-
visory board of the commission, con-
tended that the commission had no au-
thority to revise the general system of
trunk roads to be improved by the
state.

"Use Own Judgment"
Advice to WooImen

Pendleton-The National Woolgrow-
ers' association refuses to advise Ore
gon woolmen whether or not to sell
their 1915 clip at the present time.
In a letter received here by Senator j.
N. Burgess, of Pilot Rock, who is the
Oregon member Of the executive com
mittee of the association, from Secre-
tary S. W. Mcclure, he says:
my advice is that around 5000, 600
pounds of inter-mountain wool has now
been contracted. Fine wool is selling
at from two to three cents above last
years, with cross breeds at from two
to five cents above last year.
"On Monday several crossbred clips
sold at Dillon, Mont, at 81 cents, and
it is reported that the Wood Livestock
company's clip has sold at 80 cents,
and also that 80 cents has been offered
for some quater-blood clips in Western
Wyoming. | hope you will give this
information to your sheepmen, but this
association refuses to advise whether
to sell or not to sell. He must use his
own judgment entirely in this matter"

PrOtedOrate for Haiti Ratified
by Unanimous Vote of Senate

Washington, d. C. - The senate
unanimously ratified the treaty with
Haiti under which the United States
assumes protectorate over the turbu-
lent island republic, taking over con-
troll of its finances and police, guaran-
teeing its territorial integrity and un-
dertaking to develop its resources.
The treaty already has been approved
by the Haitien congress and its terms
virtually are in operation under the
eye of strong American marine ex-
pedition.
This treaty was negotiated last year
with the d'Artiguenave government,
set up after marines and bluejackets
under Rear Admiral Caperton had put
down the revolution which overthrew
President Vilbrun Guillaume. During
the preceding few years Haiti had seen
eight presidents deposed and most of
them murdered or exiled.
