One of the two principal coordinate de-

The attitude of the Government is re-

official admission of these facts:
That the Federal Grand Jury is ex-

That the new indictment will be based

No attempt was made by officials today
to minimize the seriousness of Town

almost desperate.
Floods have completely blocked the
progress of the relief forces now halted
near Felahe, 90 miles east of Kut.

the steamer with which the attempt was
made actually succeeded under cover of

"An attempt. made on the night of

though carried out with the utmost gallan-
try, unfortunately failed" says the official
report "Our aeroplames discovered the
ship aground near Magasis, about four

No inkling is given in the official re-
port of the fate of the crew which
manned the steamer No further tidings
are given of the present condition of

The Tigris below Kut-el-Amara is not

county, probably will become secre-

after the first of the year. The posi-
tion is now held by Edward Ostrad-
er. Mr.. Ostrander will remain on

position held before H. H. Corey,
then secretary, became a member of
the Commission.
Mr.. Wright, who resides in La
Grande, was candidate for the Re-

Corey before the last primaries. At
the time, it was understood he had
made statement that in the event Mr..
Corey was defeated, he would use his
influence to retain Mr.. Corey as Sec
retary.
The selection of Mr. Wright has
been hanging fire pending action by
the next legislature. The secretary S
