The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1916-12-19

LONDON, Dec. 19.-In an address
pronounced the most important pub
lie utterance since the beginning of
the war, David Lloyd George, prime
minister of England today told the
house of commons that the allies
would refuse to enter into peace nego-
tiations without definite knowledge of
the proposals of Germany. He an
nounced that formal note responding
to the overtures of Imperial Chancel-
lor Hollweg would be ready for trans
missal to Berlin through the American
embassy. He declared that neither
the German note nor the speech of
the chancellor afforded any hope for
an honorable and lasting settlement.
In spirit of bitter irony the premier
said "Hollweg failed to use a single
phrase that indicated that he was pre-
pared to accept the only terms which
would make peace possible" He quot
ed President Lincoln's saying "The
war will end when its object has been
attained, under God, and never until
we achieve that object" Amid tumult-
Gus cheering he said, I'VE do not pro-
pose TO put our heads into a moose,
with the ends of the rope in the hands
every word of the refusals of Russia
and France to accept the German pro-
posal to negotiate without reparation
peace is impossible. A few plus phras-
es cannot liquidate all the outrages
committed on land and on sea. The
allies will only accept terms involving
complete restoration and reparation
with guarantees for the future. The
allied powers insist that the war can
only end with a guarantee against fu-
ture disturbances of Europe by Prus-
sian militarism. 1t is cruel folly If
swashbuckling through the streets of
Europe is not to be punished as an Of
tense against the law of nations. Holl-
weg's pea of self defense deludes only
the German nation"
The scenes in the house of commons
were the most tense witnessed since
war was declared. The floor and gal
leries were packed with dignitaries
lhe prime minister and his predeces-
sOr, Asquith were widely cheered.
Lloyd George announced that the al
lies intended to recognize the pro-
visional Greek government of Veni-
zelos and would refuse to recognize
that of King Constantine. He said
that a firm stand in Greece was rem
dered necessary by the disasters in
Rumania. He described the manner
IL. which the British cabinet had been
reconstructed that through the old
form ministry the allies had suffered
two and a. half years of disaster from
hardness and indecision."
PETROGRAD, December 19.-The
Council of the Empire today voted u
unanimously in favor of issuing a cate
gorical refusal to enter into peace ne
gotiations which then central powers
have invited. The action of the coun-
| ell does not come as a surprise, for
while a large element of the English
press have voiced sentiments favoring
the opening of negotiations, the Rus
sian press, evidently voicing the SEN
timents of the government and the
people have opposed such policy. The
recent reorganization of the govern
ment has put power into the hands of
the party that is at once most favor
| able to popular government and to the

Dr.. David Starr Jordan, a

no useful purpose and an ad-

THE MINING INDUSTRY.

Cripple Creek and Victor, Colo,
are thrifty towns, built entirely upon
the mining industry. The Cripple
Creek Times has just issued New
Years number Of over fifty pages re-
plete with mining news and present.
ing the splendid community built up
by mining. The time was when the
Cripple Creek district was measured
By six miles square and expert miners
declared that outside Of that district
there was no pay dirt" But, after
a while the more daring began to
plant their picks beyond that limit
and some Of the best mines in the
district were uncovered on ground
condemned by the wisest operators.
It takes courage, grit and cash to de-
velop a mining district. In southern
Oregon rich mining districts have
been but scratched By timid develop
ers. What gold lay on the surface
has been gathered, but no deep pros
pecting has been attempted. The
Ashland mine is the deepest in this
section, and its greatest horizontal
depth is 500 feet. What untold rich
es lie below no man knows, but some
day the sturdy miner with money and
nerve will appear and penetrate the
depths and the Ashland district will
be demonstrated as one of the richest
mining sections in the country. 1t
takes men, and money, and nerve to
uncover the shining metal. Southern
Oregon is a region of marvellous un-
developed natural wealth-ofs irriga-
ton projects, OF railroad develop
ment, of mining enterprise, of seem
cry, of mineral waters, Of agricultur-
al and timber possibilities. Only
those things out of which cash could
be wrung with little labor and less
capital has been approached. AS
soon as the work became hard and
the development expensive men have
weakened. But ere long southern
Oregon will come into her own.

CIRCUAISPECTION

"My boy" said the editor Of the
Billsville Bugle to the new reporter,
you lack caution. You must learn
not to say things as facts until they
are proved facts-otherwise you are
very apt to get us into libel suits.
Do not say, the cashier who stole
the funds, say the cashier who is
alleged to have stolen the funds.
That's all now, and-ah-turn in
a stickful about that second ward
social last night"
Owing to an influx Of visitors 1t
was late in the afternoon before the
genial editor of the Bugle caught a
glimpse of the great family daily.
Half way down the social column his
eyes lit on the following cautious
paragraph: 1T is rumored that a
card party was given last evening to
a number of reputed ladies of the sec
ond ward. Mrs. Smith, gossip says,
was the hostess. and the festivities
are reported to have continued until
1920 in the evening, 1t is alleged
that the affair was a social function
given to the ladies and that, with the
exception of Mrs. James Bilwiliger,
who says she comes from Leavits
Junction, none but members were
present. The reputed hostess insists
that coffee and waters alone were
served as refreshments. The Smith
woman claims to be the wife of John
Smith, the socalled honest shoeman'
OF 915 east State street"
Shortly afterward a whirling mass,
claiming to be a reporter on the
Bugle, flew Is feet into the street,
and landed with what the bystanders
assert was a dull, sickening thud.-

THE JANUARY AMERICAN MAG
AZINE

In the January American maya
zine is a most unusual article by
James Hay, Jr., on the working
habits OF the president Of the United
states-an article that not only has
great general interest, but one that
should prove itself valuable to busi-
ness and professional workers thru
out the country.
Making Money out of Footsteps"
by Fred c. Kelly, will show the re-
taller how to master the curious,
though exact science Of placing his
store in the path OF the customer.
It shows, among other things, how
a breeze Of wind will cut down cigar
profits by thousands OF dollars, why
the neighborhood OF a bank is a
poor location for retailer, why the
less crowded side Of the street is
often better for the seller of various
goods, and many points that the
shrewdest retailers in this country
have worked out by commercial
mathematics.
The revolution in aeronautics
brought about by the war and the
tremendous future of the aeroplane
IN commerce are described by Merle
Crowell.
In "The Great American Conscrip-
tion" Ray Stannard Baker con-
tributes an interesting prediction OF
future economic conditions in this
country.
Why fat men, smokers, moderate
drinkers, heavy eaters and all city
people are in particular danger from
pneumonia is explained by DR.. A. R.
Reynolds, former health commission
er OF Chicago.
Varied and original fiction is con-
tributed by Sophie Kerr, Dana Bur-
net, John A. Moroso, John Taintor
Foote and Olive Higgins Prouty.
For new series Of articles on the
Individual values OF the various
states OF the Union, William Allen
White gives a description Of Kansas.
New things in the theatre are dis
cussed by the American magazines
dramatic reporter, Walter Prichard
Eaton.
Many excellent articles are con.
tanned in the two departments, the
Family's Money and Interesting Peo-
pie, and the magazine as whole is
decidedly entertaining and worth
while.

Greetings From d. L. Glenn.

Santa Ana, CAL, Jan. u, 1916.
Editor Tidings: Allow Mrs. Glenn
and to send greetings TO our many
friends in and around Ashland
through the medium of your paper.
We left Ashland on the 18th Of
December and arrived here the 18th.
We changed climate on account OF
my throat trouble, and now in less
than a month l have SO improved
that | have very little trouble in
breathing and hope by the end OF
another month to be back to normal,
as otherwise Mrs. Glenn and l enjoy
good health.
The weather here has been quite
unfayorable; a good deal of rain and
fog. Rained until water stood in
puddles on freshly plowed ground.
1t cleared yesterday and turned cool,
and this morning there was three
eighths of an inch of ice over water
in a trough in the chicken yard, and
a thin sheet of ice over a tub of
water by the kitchen door. Potato
and tomato tops are badly cooked.
The freeze will not damage this sec
ton much as the country around
Santa Ana, Orange and Anaheim is
largely planted to walnuts. Farther
to the north there are heavy clouds
of smoke, which shows that the. or
ange men have been at work. The
rain will be a great blessing to the
state and the people are happy over
it.
We find that the dull times are no
local affair, but wherever we go
there is little building, and there are
many empty dwellings and business
blocks, and rents are quite reason
able. And yet the people seem con-
tented and happy. And well they
may be, when conditions here are
compared with those Of the Orient.
Here we have peace and plenty.
With all the dull times the market
has an abundance of good things to
eat, and think one who complains
in this day does not stop to consider
the blessings We enjoy in the way of
modern mechanical appliances. And
even our clothing is so improved over
what it was fifty or one hundred
years ago, and at about half the cost.
Santa Ana claims between twelve
and fifteen thousand people. 1t is
place of considerable wealth, and is
surrounded by a rich and fertile
plain. There is littel or no alkali, as
is the case farther west, around West
minister and between that and Long
Beach.
During the heavy rains the noun
tains east and north of us were COW
cred with a heavy fall of snow, so

the same auto that conveyed these
southern California tourists clean
across the "Sisskoos" to the south
land, without SO much as a scratch
upon the machine itself or the I'm
habitants thereof" that l took pret-
ty exact measurement of the many
environments of a spot dear to the
hearts of thousands of visiting Ore
gonians-and rightly enough. as
many Ashlanders can also testify.
The arrival of the mineral waters
into Ashland Lithia Park is emphat-
ically the great event, and passengers
on IS. P" and other trains need ask
only few questions to ascertain the
fact that the public at large knows,
now, just exactly where Ashland is on
the map.

The purpose of publicity, paid OF
free, is to make the advertisers argu-
ment part of the community's
thought. When you pound into the
obdurate citizen the right argument
your idea becomes his thought, for,
unconsciously, he comes around to
your way of thinking; then you may
count on him to vie with you in
spreading your doctrine. Always the
most talked OF store in town is the
one best advertised If the merchant
lives up to his advertisement. 1t is
80 in Ashland. II is SO everywhere,
and the merchant most alert for bar
gains for his customers, and who lets
the people know, is the successful
merchant.

SOME REAL VALUE.

Statistics show that the tourist
crop is worth 200 million dollars a
year to the state of California. That
on an average the past ten years Los
Angeles alone has reaped tourist
harvest OF from 40 to so million dol
lars a year. One hundred thousand
dollars is being expended in New
York city alone this year exploiting
the attractions Of southern Califor-
mia. These are facts that have
awakened the state Of Oregon to the
great possibilities in tourist travel
and was the impulse that set in mo-
tlon the movement now being con-
summated for "letter writing week" !"
The Portland Chamber OF Commerce
is beind the agitation and more ef-
fort will be made this year to attract
tourists through the northwest than
ever before. The tremendous value
Of tourist crop is being realized for
the first time by Oregon, with more
attractions for the tourist than any
other half dozen states OF the Union.
II Is a delight to see the eyes Of Ore
gon drawn from intent on the lesser
things and see them riveted on vastly
the greatest possibility that ever
blessed state Ashland should have
10 grnsll interest IN this movement.
II means much for her Just at this
stage Of her Development along re-
sort lines.
