On Feb. 9. 1799, he overhauled 8 French warship, Lin surgente. and after battle lasting an hour and 8 quarter the French commander struck his colors, hay ing suffered loss of g killed, 2 badly and 19 slightly wounded The American loss was two killed and three wounded
 On Feb. l, 1890, Truxtun sighted the French ship La Vengeance, of 52 guns and 80 men, against his 50 guns and BIO men, After an ex- change of shots at long range the French ship endeavored 10 escape and the pursuit continued until 8 pm. the next day, when the La Vengeance opened fire. Truxtun wished 10 close and forbade his men 10 fire until they were within pistol shot, though the French broadsides were deadly. La Ven geance sheered off and fired almost entirely at the ConstellatioHs rig ging. cutting the shrouds, stays and spars into shreds. and at last leav- ing the main mast so unsupported that 1t came down with the topmen and midshipman.
 Meanwhile Truxtun had fired his broadsides with fearful slaughter, and by midnight he entirely sil- erred the French guns However, the miFhap to his rigging forced him to spend an hour in repairs, and during the lull La Vengeance con- rived tO escape, with loss of if ty fi.sed and t10 wo1nde.., and

 INFORMATION
REGARDING VESSELS
THAT HAVE BEEN LOST IN ALASKA WATERS OF
 LATE

SEATTLE, Feb. 19.-Tl. Alaska Bureau of the Chamber of Congress has again taken the mi 'iative in the interest of Alaska, and armed with all the data necessary, has gone after congress in an endeavor to secure aid to navigation by urg- ing coast surveys. To that end, every member of congress has been furnished with data in regard to the number of lost vessels; large and small, and hope is entertained that the result will be prolific of much good.
 The necessity for such work has been emphasized of late by the loss of so many fishing schooners. Aside from the surveying of the waters, the Bureau will endeavor to have the government detail revenue cut ters to patrol the waters during the severe weather, and thus help those who may be caught in storms.

Liquor Adds Worry
Subscribers to Papers
Printed In the EaSl

District Attorney E. R. Ringo is in
receipt daily of numerous papers sent
in by Marion county people who find
liquor adds in the paper and desire to
call his attention to the violation Of the
Oregon liquor laws. Mr.. Ringo states
that he is well aware of the fact that
the publishing of liquor ads in papers
distributed in Oregon is violation of
the law but it is case of "What are
you going to do about it7" The teeth
Of the Oregon laws do not bite beyond
the borders of the state and only a
fugitive from justice can be extradited
for trial. The liquor men in other
states and newspaper publishers who
run ads are not fugitives from Oregon
because they have never been here.
They are publishing their papers under
the laws of states where it is not un-
lawful to publish liquor ads and the
Oregon law cannot reach them.
Of course, if they ever came to Ore
gon and once stopped within this state
for few minutes they could be ar.
rested but it is likely that Oregon will
be deprived of such tourists as send in
liquor ads. Another curious fact Of the
sending in papers to the district at
tOrney's office is that most of the send.
ers pencil few remarks on the marg-
in of the paper to call the attention
of the district attorney to the contents
and this notation is in itself a violation
of the law.

requested to see Secretary of State
Lansing at noon. At that time it was
expected he would present tentative
draft of Germany's final note in the
Lusitania case. This, according to re-.
ports, accepts Americas IS suggested
phraseology but counters with one or
two minor suggestions for changes in
wording, Acceptance of the note by
the state department, however, is cx-
pected before the end of the week.
State department heads have suggest
ed all along that they upheld the Teu-
tonic viewpoint that unwarned attacks
on armed vessels were iustifiable. Re
versal of this idea is understood to be
the result of President Wilson's study
of the situation and the cabinets con.
sideration of the matter.
Some high state department author
tiles may continue to support the cen.
tral powers, but the administration. it
is believed, will insist that submarines
must meet the ancient and established
rule of international law permitting de-
fensive armament of merchantmen.
If it had not been for the merchant
men edct, the Lusitania case probably
would have been settled today. Ambas-
sador Bernstorff said that the United
States easily could arrange for post
ponement of the decree, and Secretary
Lansing said he would consider the sug-
geStion, though he intimated he would
not ask for a delay at present
1t was explained that new point
has arisen-whether the decree affects
the promises given in the Lusitania
agreement proposals.

We are so used to thinking of Lydia

For stomach trouble of women it is
especially adapted, as it works in COM
