Flames---Escapedm in Their
Night Clothes

Clad only in their nighties, early this
morning about l o'clock, Mr.. and Mrs.
Jim Wilson narrowly escaped being
burned TO death when their house
burned to the ground. The scene of
the fire was on the river road about
four miles north of this city. The

to find their home a mass of flames.
They were able to gather only a few
garments and get out of the house be-
fore it was too late. Neighbors, at
tracted by the fire, arrived shortly and

To interest a group of eastern manu-
facturers in Oregon's new industry,
that of raising flax, a committee will
be sent east at an early date with sam
pies Of the Oregon product This was
decided on yesterday in Portland at a
meeting held by representatives of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce, Eu.

tee named will include II. B. Miller,
director of the school of commerce of
the University of Oregon; George

Commerce and Theodore Roth, director
of the industrial department of the
Salem Commercial club.

mercial bodies of Oregon for a state
wide development of the industry and
at the same time to bring this industry
before the large manufacturers of the
east who are anxious to buy the raw
material on account of none being re-
ceived from Belgium or Russia.

Meeting Called for
Inahee Golf Club

A meeting has been called for to-
morrow evening at the Commercial club
of the members of the Illahee golf
club, to consider the organization of
the club with larger membership and
also general discussion of the plans
and building of the proposed club
house. The meeting has been called by
ASahel Bush, president of the club.
Two plans for the club house, which
is to be rustic in design have been sub
mitted by architect George NJ. Post.
Both plans include large lounging or
dance room, with kitchen, lockers
for members, large veranda and all
the conveniences of a modern club
house. The cost is estimated at $4,000
Since there has been an assurance
that the club house will be built this
summer, there has been much more in

Already $4,000 is assured, and with this
amount in sight, the directors feel il

ment, as head of the government, to-
day, that Great Britain cannot consid-
er negotiations with Germany and her
allies until reparation has been made
for the past, was taken to mean that
the entente will adhere to the princi-
pies for which it is fighting until Ger
many can place herself in position to
meet the demands incident thereto.
This bodies little good for the cause
of peace in the near future and Wall
Street at once so interpreted it. The
stock market stiffened, foreign loan
issues displayed a tendency to ease off,
and foreign exchange was lower all
along the line practically.
These manifestations were all quite
the thing under the circumstances
But as Lloyd-George does not altogeth-
er close the door to peace discussion be-
tween the belligerents, the bear element
| did not lose hope entirely and after Il
/ brief upward movement in the mid af-
ternoon period prices showed an unset
tied tendency, which soon developed IN
to reactionary movement.
The market moved uncertainty in the
late trading and at times with consid-
cradle violence United States Steel
sold as low as l09 5-S. Losses on the
high levels Of the day ranged from Q
to points among the industrial issues.
