Great Britain'S Answer on Mail
Seizures TO Evade Issue Again

Washington, D. C.-While Great
Britain has indicated to the State de-
partment that examination of detained
neutral mails would be expedited as
much as possible, department officials
said Monday that the concession could
be considered by this government as
only minor one, not affecting the
question of right of seizure, over
which the two governments have dis
agreed.
Intimations have reached the depart
ment that the British reply, now being
prepared, would formally call attention
to the steps taken to obviate delay in
mail examination, thus disposing of
many specific complaints that the allies
had exceeded their rights in extending
their censorship outside territorial wa
ters and had employed "vexatious in
quisitorial" methods in enforcing it.
1t is understood that such reply
would be considered far short of meet
ing the situation. !

Give The Hog a Chance.

No apple grower ever goes out into
the orchard and knocks apples off the
tree with a club when he is marketing
his crop. He knows the public won't
buy bruised fruit.
But there are still some hog ship
pers who try to market their crops
with a club and the result hits them
in just the same place that it would
the apple raiser-the pocketbook.
1t is the club users, the kickers, and
the men in too big hurry that send
bruised and crippled hogs to the mar
ket, and those bruised and crippled
hogs are the cause of lower prices for
the men who put their time and their
money into them.
Hogs are slower in summer than in
winter because Of the heat. Patience
is needed in their handling if the best
prices are to be secured for them, be.

Rogne Salmon Catch Big.

Marshfeld, Or. - Although the fish
ing season on Rogue River is two
months from its height, more fish have
been caught, canned and shipped from
there this season than for any other
time covering the same period in re-
cent years. The Macleay estate has
shipped from its Wedderburn cannery
40OO cases of the fine Rogue River chi
nook and has 1000 more cases packed.
The unusually large output is accounted
for by the intense rivalry among the
fighermen who are taking dangerous
chances in handling their drift nets.

English Hop Embargo Pending.

Mail advices from England under
date of May 1S report the weather
very favorable for the growing crop,
and the hopyards as looking promising,
also that the labor difficulty seems to
have been overcome as regards work
in the hopyards. According to news
paper reports, the house of commons
on May go passed the second reading
of the bill which would reduce the out
put of beer 80 per cent on the 1894
output, or by Is per cent of the 1914
Is output. This measure empowers
the government to prohibit the impor-
tation of hops unless the homegrown
supply is insufficient to meet the re-
quirements, when licenses for importa-
tions are to be granted.

Promoter Secures Coos Bay
OPTIONS for Vast DEVELOPMENT

Marshfield - W. j. Wilsey, who Of
fered Coos Bay what he said was $10,-
600, 900 worth of industries in ex-
change for good will and encourage
ment, left Coos Bay on Thursday, after
having been welcomed all over the
Coos Bay district and treated cordially
in offerings of property he desired to
accumulate. North Bend held rous-
ing meeting one night and leading citi-
zens spoke a welcome that could not be
misconstrued.
Mr.. Wilsey's promises were so ex-
tensive that some thought them over a
couple of days before committing
themselves to belief in his ability to
carry them through, but before he left
everybody seemed to be convinced.
People had boosted ever since Coos
Bay was rivulet, but nothing sub
stantial excepting sawmills were es-
tablished. 1t was asserted at the
North Bend meeting that miles Of
water front, areas of land for indus
tries, timbered lands on the peninsula,
watersheds, were being held by per-
sons who never had any intention of
utilizing them. These, the boosters
said, they would engage to secure at
reasonable figures, and expect them to
be converted into active commercial
properties.
Mr., Wilsey, when he left, had OPP
tions on all the Simpson Lumber COM
pany holdings, on the L. D. Kinney
properties, on large share of the
Flanagan estate holdings on the penin-
sula, and on 5000 acres of coal land.
Probably go to rs per cent of the prop
erty asked for was under option when
Mr.. Wilsey departed for New York.

Tract Containing 36O,OOO,OOO
Feet at Hood River Offered

HoodIRiver-With the probable sal
by the United States Forest Servic
this summer of a 7340-acre area o
virgin Douglas fir on the headwater
of the west fork of Hood River, tn
lumber industry the coming year, witt
three other large mills, the average
daily cut of each reaching approx
mately 10000 feet, and some hal
dozen lesser plants in operation, bid
fair to be stimulated to a record mark
in Hood River.
According to W. T. Andrews log
ging engineer, and Assistant District
Forester F. E. Ames, who were here
recently from Portland, the total
stumpage of proposed fir sales reaches
approximately 800, 600, 900 feet. Ap.
plication to have the forest area open
ed and offered for sale was made the
past winter by ]. W. Palmer, local
West Side orchardist, who has had
many years of experience in the lum-
ber business on the Lower Columbia.
Mr.. Palmer is prospective bidder on
the huge tract.
The mission of Messrs. Andrews and
Ames here concerned letter from the
local commercial club. The missive,
written several weeks ago, asking for
information on the proposed sale, ex-
pressed the fear that the denudation
of 80 large an area might be menace
to the irrigation system of the valley
and was considered by the Forest Serv-
ice as an indirect protest against the
sale.
Mr.. Ames explained that the timber
would be cut after the usual manner of
logging in Douglas fir regions. 1t will
take probably from 10 to IL years to
cut the entire acreage. Once or twice
each year the slashings will be burned
over, every precaution being taken to
guard against damage to adjoining ma
tional forest acreage, as well as pat
ented timber lands.
"We find," said Mr.. Ames, "that
reforestation of fir takes place most
readily after burning. We anticipate
from experience that we have had in
other similar locations that reseeding
will be ample and that within short
time the acreage will not only be COW
cred with young frs, but also dense
underground that will tend to conserve
rainfall as we'll as the forest trees that
will be taken off. By the time the
last of the timber is removed refor-
estation of the first burned slashings
will have taken place."
Mr.. Ames further showed that the
area embodied in the proposed sale
does not extend to the source of the
west fork of Hood River, which il
fact is fed by glaciers and would b.
affected in no way by cutting of thu
timber.
The government officials explaine'
that rs per cent of the funds realizes
from the proposed sale will be appor
toned among Hood River, Clackama
and Wasco counties, proportionate tt
the area of the National forest withil
their bounds. Ten per cent of the re
turns will be spent in building road
or trails in the National forests of tn,
state.
Following the explanation of the
forestry officials, the commercial clut
members assembled at the specially
called meeting and voted unanimously
in an enthusiastic approval of the pro-
posed timber sale.

AMfRICANISM OF UNDlUTfD
Kind POSITION TAKEN BY HUGHES

New York = Charles E. Hughes
Wednesday defined his attitude toward
German-American support as one Of
"undiIuted Americanism," in the
first statement issued since his accept
ance of the Republican nomination for
president. He said:
81 stated my position very clearly in
my telegram to the convention. My
attitude is one of undiluted American
ism and anybody that supports me is
supporting an out-and-out American
and an out-and-out American policy,
absolutely nothing else."
The nominees day, busy one, was
devoted almost exclusively to receiv-
ing callers. His visitors were more
numerous than Monday. There were
SO many of them at one time that a
line was formed and they filed past to
shake hands and chat for moment in
stead of waiting to be received alone.
Several Progressive leaders and Re-
publican supporters of Colonel Roose-
velt were among them.
Everett Colby, of New Jersey, who
placed John M. Parker in nomination
for the Vice Presidency at the Pro-
gressive convention, and Theodore
Douglas Robinson, nephew of Colonel
Roosevelt and former Progressive
leader in New York, called during Mr..
Hughes absence at luncheon. They
left word that they would return in a
day or so to deliver in person their
pledges of support. Oscar G. Straus
sent telegram from Cleveland pledg-
ing support and followed in person la
ter to congratulate the nominee and
reiterate his pledge.

AN INSURANCE AGAINST SUDDEN DEATH
For Sufferers From Backache Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble

Before an Insurance Company will
take risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and re-
port whether you are a good risk.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells, or the twinges
and pains Of lumbago, rheumatism and
gout. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times night. This is the time you
should consult some physician of wide
experience-such as DIR. Pierce Of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. Send 10c for large
trial package of "Anuric." Write your
symptoms and send sample of urine
for test. Experience has taught DR..
Pierce that "Anuric" is most power
