GOVERNMENT IS MAKING A GREAT
 PROGRESSIVE MOVE
Special Correspondence

WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.- One of the final steps toward linking the United States and It's foreign posses sions together by a great chain of wireless stations was taken today when Secretary Daniels. of the navy. approved a contract with the Federal Telegraph Company of San Francis. co for the equipmento the big radio station now under construction at San Diego. Callf.. cavite. P l.. and Pearl Harbor. Hawaii. Completion of these stations within the next year will pave the way for radio communica- ton from Washington, not only to the lnsular possessions. but to almost any point in the world where there may be receiving plant.
 Plans are now being prepared by the Navy Department to increase the power of the existing equipment at Tutuila and Guam so as to make them part of the main world chain. The intermediate stations at Boston. New Orleans, Point Loma. Chicago and at Guantanamo already have been in- creased in power and are able to re- lay messages from ships at sea to Washington, via the Arlington (Va.) towers.
 Further advancement in radio de- velopment will be made this year at Charleston, S. C., San Juan. Key West. Puget Sound. cordova and Mare Island. The plants at these places will be strengthened and their rad ius of communications greatly ex- tended.
 The new stations ct Pearl Harbor and cavite will be the most powerful in the world. They will be equipped with apparatus for exchanging mes. sages over an area of approximately 4,7OO miles, the greatest distance ev- CT attempted by radio stations doing regular business. Each will main tain direct communication with San Diego. the Canal Zone and the Arling- ton stations. and be able to sweep the Pacific ocean from the Philippine isl ands and to Alaska and the Canal zone.

 "All we need is printing presses, he declared. Tt would be like turn ing out postage stamps"

ARE CONDEMNED BY
 LIQUOR MEN

COLUMBUS. Ohio, Feb. S.-cabar- cts have fallen under the ban of the saloon keepers and are denounced as things that develop trouble, and their abolition is called for at once by the National Retail Liquor Dealers Asso- ciation of America, so President Nell Bonner. of Philadelphia. told the mem bers of the Ohio Retail Liquor Deal CTS Association.
 He warned them that the cabaret had been sad thing for the keepers of the big saloons and grIllrooms all over the East; that all sorts of trou- blesome features had come up to pes ter and heckle the man who owned the place, and his conclusion official ly was the elimination of the cabaret from every grlllroom as the crying need of the hour for the saloon men.
 The cabaret brought to the grill. room needless sort that forgot the usual customs of the place; had no regard for the proprieties. and was reckless in its conduct and unseem- ly behavior. he said.
 The result was trouble not only with the police. but far greater trou. ble with the reform elements of the city. that seized on the unseemly con- duct of an occasional cabaret patron to point 1t out as the customary con- duct of the grillroom patrons.
 He advised the elimination of the cabaret entertainer from the grill. rooms and saloons of tho state. pure ly as Q business precaution, for the saloon keeper who wanted to maintain reputation for operating proper place and stay in business.

LOTT ISN'T YET GUILTY
 CONTEMPT

Captain Harry Lott has not been guilty of contempt of court as yet, and until the plaintiffs In the case of Charles Goldstein ct al, vs R. P. Nel- son ct al, file another complaint in which they allege Q forfeiture of the mining claims under controversy by the defendants Captain Lott will not be required to answer the questions demanded.
 Captain Lott has wonderfully poor memory when 1t comes to an- swerlng queations which will give the plaintiffs in the case information to which he thinks they have no right. In two dispositions given by him up- on subpoena from the plaintiffs, he has repeatedly affirmed that he could not remember. or refused to answer on advice of counsel. The plaintiffs have repeatedly requested Captain Lott to answer questions as to the amount of assessment work done by him on the Mountain group of lode claims. 15 in number, in the. Sheep creek basin during the years 1913 and 1914.
 In his pleadlngs this morning John Rustgard. attorney for the plaintiff said: He has no memory or mem- oranda in his head about these mat ters. but he has 1t in a little book locked away in his breast pocket and why. if he should be required to an swer the questions from his memory, under the law. why should we not be entitled to the contents of the memor- anda in his pocket?"
 In making his answering talk. Mir. Cobb stated that the plaintiffs had or iginally alleged that they were in possession of the claims and that they disputed the locations by the defend ants. but now that they find the de- fendants have prior rights they are trying to secure evidence from them to make their case. If they can make the defendants admit that no assess ment work was done they will then hinge their case on that and if not they have no case.
 Judge Jennings stated that the question resolved itself simply Into a questions as to how far the plaintiffs made an adverse witness of one Of their witnesses when they took a de- position. and as to whether tho tes. timony given in a deposition by an ad. verse party to the suit must be relied on during the trial of the case. or whether the attorney could ignore or dispute the deposition.
 At the close of the arguments Judge Jennings rendered his decision in part. as follows: further hearings on the applications of the Harry Lott contempt case will be set over until some future date. Tn the meantime the attorney for the plaintiff will be allowed to file @ further complaint alleging forfeiture on the part of the defendants for failure to do assess. ment work on the claims. After the filing of the reply. on motion. the court will take up this matter in such a manner as if no steps had ever been taken"

Understanding Of
Bird Law Wrong

The statement in one of the Port
land papers recently to the effect that
the waterfowl season does not close
in certain counties in Oregon until
February Is, and in Clatsop an addi-
tional open season extends from
March to April 80, and in Coos
county from December 81 to January
81, is entirely erroneous, according
to the federal authorities.
The federal migratory bird law
does not permit shooting of geese,
brant, wild ducks, coots, gallinules
and jacksnipe after sunset January 10
throughout Oregon and Washington.
A closed season extends through
out the United States until Septem-
Der l, 1918, on the following migra-
tory game birds: Band-tailed pig
cons, little brown, sandhill and
whooping cranes, wood ducks, swans,
CuTleW, MlllSl, anu oil ShOiO Dii N'
except the black-breasted and golden
plover, Wilson or jacksnipe, and the
greater and lesser yellowlegs and
woodcock.
All shooting of migratory game
birds is prohibited between sunset
and sunrise throughout the United
States.
Insectiverous birds are protected
Indefinitely.
A state date governs when it opens
the season later or closes it earlier
than the federal regulations if the
state game authorities so order and
not be in conflict with the federal
regulations.

Gracious, is there anybody in the
studio who has not kissed me?" de-
manded Marguerite Courtot the 9TH
er day, after she had spent an entire
morning in rehearsing scenes for
"The Kiss, in which she is co-star-
ring with Owen Moore at the Fam
Gus Players studio. AS the title sug-
gests, osculation forms an important
part in the story, and, of course,
there are always interested young
men who have original ideas on the
subject when pretty girls are con-
cerned.
When the title was suggested, and
it was known that Miss Courtot
would play the girl, competition was
keen for the opposite role, but Di-
rector Del Henderson decreed that
Moore was to be the lucky man.

New Apple Packs win Be Displayed.

New Apple Packs VIII BE Displayed.
Spokane, Wash, Nov. SIN what
kind. of package is the northwestern
apple to be marketed in the future?
Orchard men and marketing eX-
perts have been debating that ques-
tion for a long time, and a definite
step toward its solution is to be TAX
en- at the ninth apple show, which
will be held in Spokane November
20 to 25. A special contest for new
containers is announced for the apple
show, and a gold medal is to be
awarded to the winner.
This competition will be open to
receive entries of cartons and small
special boxes designed to sell extra
fancy fruit to the eastern trade, and
will include also the extra large
boxes. small barrels and other con-
tainers suggested for the purpose Of
moving the lower grades of fruit to
nearby markets.
This award is to be made because
of the growing feeling in some of the
districts that an even more fancy
package will have to be offered for
some of the extra fancy fruit and that
a cheap container must be provided
for nearby markets in order to cheap
EN- the cost of packing.

FRUIT and FARM


Tests of the carcasses show 6 per
cent more water in the meat. This
could be also expected on grass feed
1t is only the dry feed that puts on
the firmest meat. This would hardly
be an objection to silage for the fat
tening steer. The silo is a means Of
saving the most of a crop and will
make feed at a low cost. Even where
steers have been fed on the tests on
silage alone the gains were good and
the product of the finish excellent.
Silage feed has come to be recog-
nized by both the dairyman and the
beef grower.-Orange Judd Farmer.

The Movies Bring More Perfect
Race.


The moving picture is the drama
of form and action, rather than idea.
In the picture plays the most beau
tiful people in the country speak to
us with their faces and bodies.
We want to be like the movie act
ors, and we want our children to be
like them. So we become interested
in eugenics and find that it is not
much more than wholesome living on
the part of parents and prospective
parents.
We become interested in econom-
les, and find that it is simply the
problem of providing all people with
food, clothing and shelter, so that
they may have as good bodies~a as the
people on the screen, and education
so that they may be as graceful.

Steer feeders were slow to take up
the idea of feeding silage to fatten-
ing cattle, but many would hate to
try to get along without it now. 1t
is considered by many as good as
grass in the early feeding period, and
80 to 60 pounds per head is fed.
Later as the steers near finishing
some prefer to feed more dry grain
and less silage, cutting the silage ra-
tion down to 80 pounds per head
daily.

An Accomplished Linguist For the
PhOtOplay.

An Accomplished LhnSulst rOr Ihe
PhOtOplay.
Many are the curious reasons given
by doting mothers as to why their
wonderful offspring should be in mo-
ton pictures. Here is one of them:
Herbert Standing was about to
start for the Pallas Pictures studios
where he is appearing in pictures for
the Paramount program when he was
called to the phone. A strange voice
announced that the speaker was Mrs.
Soandso and took the liberty of phon-
ing about her daughter, who would
make wonderful picture acress if
only given an opportunity. Among
the many "convincers" the mother
gave in her appeal was the fact that
her daughter spoke six languages
Standings But, madam, of what use
are six languages in the silent
drama?" was the silencing shot to
which there was no reply.
