lumbia, according to incomplete re-
turns received late Thursday from the
general election.
| The conservative government, head
ed by Premier W. ]. Bowser, appar-
emily has been decisively defeated.
The returns indicate that the liberals
will control the next legislature, SO to
IA.
Suffrage apparently was carried by
an overwhelming majority and the re-
turns thus far received indicate that
the prohibition bill has been endorsed
by safe margin. The defeat of the
government is the most striking in the
history of the province.
The returns thus far are generally
decisive and it is not considered likely
that the soldiers vote will materially
affect the result, although Premier
Bowser may retain his seat in the pro-
vincial parliament, as he is not far be-
hind the liberal ticket, which appar-
emily was elected in it's entirety in
Vancouver.
In Victoria, A. Stewart, the recent
ly appointed minister Of finance, was
defeated, polling 600 votes less than
the lowest liberal in the capital city,
where the complete liberal ticket was
elected. In Rossland, Lorne Camp
bell, minister Of mines, is 100 votes
behind his opponent with only two
small precincts to be reported.
In Revelstoke, Thomas Taylor, min
lister Of public works since conserva-
tive government came into power, was
decisively defeated. In Grand Forks,
E. E. Miller, one Of Premier Bowser's
new ministers, lost by a substantial
majority.

University Of Oregon Enters
Class Of Large Universities

University of Oregon, Eugene-The
university this year is rounding
the turn between the medium-sized and
the large state university. The resi-
dence enrolment in liberal arts and
sciences will show a one-eighth in
crease and will reach one thousand for
the year, and this figure, combined
with the enrolment in other depart
ments, will give total registration of
about nineteen hundred. The univer-
sity will thus be in the upper half of
the forty-eight state universities in
point of attendance.
The increase of attendance during
hard times is due to the improved
standards which are keeping Oregon
students at home and to new work
offered in commerce, journalism, and
other departments.

klamath Falls-The waters of Link
river within the city of klamath Falls
are to be used and mammoth dam

The reclamation service has been
planning for the development Of the
vast water power now going to waste,
but, on account of lack of appropria-
tion, the government is unable to do
the work itself.

heart today or died, in few days the
Belgians would be without food and

here by DR.. David P. Barrows, who
addressed Stanford students on his
eight months experience with relief
work In Belgium. DR.. Barrows said
that Hoover's task Of feeding 10000

allies and the Germans.

Whole World Would Be Divided Into
Groups for Commerce.
FREE TRADE RULE ABANDONED
British Chamber Of Commerce Urges
New Plan "Most-Favored-Na-
tion" Clause Eliminated.

Washington, D. C.-Division of the
world into economic strata separated
by tariff walls and classified as allies
Of the British empire, friendly neu-
trails, unfriendly nuetrals and enemy
countries, is urged by the London
Chamber Of Commerce. To clear the
ground for this world reconstruction the
chamber concludes in special report,
a copy Of which has just been received
here, that abrogation of all "most-
favored-nation" treaties, including
that with the United States, is inev-
liable.
Free trade would be abandoned and
a series Of graded tariffs proposed in
line with the present war groupings of
the nations.
All imports would be divided as fol
lows: Wholly manufactured goods,
semi-manfactured goods and articles
solely used as raw material in indus
tries, manufactured foodstuffs and raw
foodstuffs. All parts of the British
empire and its allies would pay mini
mum duties; friendly neutrals which
allow the United Kingdom most favor
ed treatment would pay twice as much;
other neutrals, giving preference to
other powers and including neutrals
which might swing into the Teutonic
commercial system would pay a still
greater tax; and all '.enemy" coun-
tries would pay the maximum duties,
running up as high as 80 per cent.
Roughly it is estimated in the report
that this change from free trade to
protection would net yearly revenue
Of about $375, 000, ,000..
Every precaution is urged in the re-
port to assuage neutral nations to pre-
vent them from making commercial
alliances with enemy countries after
the war. The difficulties are spoken
Of as follows:
"It must also be remembered that
our allies have tariff arrangements
still in force with other foreign coun-
tries which it is assumed must be
abrogated before any preferential
trade arrangements can be made with
the British empire as whole.
"In addition, the United Kingdom
has INSTRUMENTATION clauses with
certain foreign countries, including
the United States. There, it is as
sumed, would have to be terminated,
with or without compensatory advant-
ages.

Fewer Irish Go Insane.

Dublin - Insanity in Ireland has
lately shown decrease, chiefly among
women. This is something new, as
Ireland's statistics for insanity have
always been unusually high. The su-
perintendent Of the asylum at Belfast
declares the reason is due entirely to
the improved standard of living and
to the restrictions on the liquor traffic.
Many who lived in poverty are now in
comparative luxury. There are solid
grounds for hope that, especially
among women, Ireland will witness a
great diminution of neurotic disorders.

Send Good Men to St. Louis.

Democratic managers are not losing
sight Of the fact that the st. Louis
convention will have other business to
attend to besides nominating a presi-
dental ticket. A platform must be
drafted and debated and adopted.
The st. Louis platform will not be
easy Of construction. It must deal
with a number OF subjects. and should
deal with them In a definite and
straightforward manner.
For this reason discussion of dele
gates to st. Louis has begun. The
party is advised to send only the
best men-men both capable and ex-
perienced.
The platform builders at st. Louis
will face a task which only master
builders can execute. If apprentices
no matter how promising, are assigned
to the work a botch will certainly be
the result.
