Arthur Reeve Has Narrow Escape.

Arthur Reeve Has Narrow escape.
When the steering gear of his auto
mobile became deranged on Tygh
grade near Dufur Saturday afternoon,
the machine plunged over 60 foot
embankment carrying the driver
with it. Arthur Reeve had narrow
escape from death. l.. c. Pennell,
who was accompanying Mr.. Reeve,
jumped to safety.
The car turned over in its descent.
In the fall Mr. Reeve, who attributes
his escape from more serious in
juries to convenient crevice between
two huge bolders into which his body
was dropped, sustained dislocated
shoulder.
Mr.. A. Mcclure, of The Dalles,
picked up the wounded man and hur-
ried him to that city, where he caught

doubt; how much do we know be-
yond a doubt? You write as though
you do not believe mind and intellect
to be identical. You make many as
sertions without giving any reasons,
so l am going to submit some ques-
tons, to which 1 would appreciate an
answer. What do you mean by lack
of mind? How do you separate mind
from intellect? You assert you can
prove that a college course curtails
or destroys the mind. Shoot away.
Your pen must have slipped when
you said no kings ever had a mind.
You evidently meant parrots. You
claim manual laborers have more
mind than college professors. Sure,
theirs is heavier and holds them
down.-M. Rasmussen.

MIND. - 1 take exception to E.
Sweeney's article entitled ITO I'm
derstand." His claims that varied
opinions on the truth or falsity of the
bible is lack of mind is ridiculous.
AS we all have a different form of
education we naturally form our
opinions accordingly. Do you claim
that those who fail to understand the
bible from your point of view lack
mind?
The bible was written in prehistor-
ic times, during what was known as
the dark ages, and has been added
to from time to time by various writ
ers. Consequently it is a book by
many authors. The first issue was
written in primitive times, when SUI
perstition ran riot with reason and
education was in its infancy. Nat
urally the writer's of those days had
their imaginations highly developed
and their practical side almost en-
tirely neglected. The writers of
those days, with their highly deveI-
oped imaginations, wrote excellent
fiction and nothing more.
Your remarks about a college
course being more harmful than ben
eficial l can't dispute. The nearest
| ever came to college was a long
distance view of one. You claim that
no college professor can define the
human mind Perhaps not beyond

AGAINST PREPAREDNESS.

AGAINST PREPAREDNESS. -
Why should we lose our balance and
permit ourselves to be thrown into
panic by lingo politicians and NUM-
ton makers? What hypnotic spell
is being thrown around us that we,
who have so earnestly condemned
the militiarism that is running Ger
many and drenching all Europe in
blood, should take on the same spir-
it of militarism and burden ourselves
with that weight of taxes and con-
scription which has encountered and
paralyzed all Europe for more than
fifty years, leading to the very calam-
ity against which it pretended to
guard itself?
Billions for defense" is our war
cry. Against what? Are not our
taxes high enough to suit all con-
cerned? Has the farmer any more
money to pay for taxes and increased
help in competition with recruiting
agencies of the army and navy? Will
his sons be better off strutting
around in a military or naval uniform
than in riding reaper or steering a
plow or teaching a country SCHOOL,
Militarism creates national hatred
instead of friendly mutually. It
mains and kills as frenzied fighters
the young and strong and leaves the
old and incompetent in its wake,
War awards its victories on the ba-

COTTON STANDARDS DESCRIBED

Washington, D. C., Feb. 11.-An il- lustrated description of the work of preparing the Official Cotton Stand ards of the United States has been issued by the Department of Agricul- ture. These standards were promul- gated by the Secretary of Agriculture in December, 1914, in accordance with the provisions of the Cotton Flu lures Act and were well received by the trade. Practically every inn portant cotton exchange and spot market of the South has adopted them as well as most of the largest cotton mills and factories. During the first year after their promulgation 570 1 full sets and 55 fractional sets were shipped by the Department in this and 1 foreign countries.
 1 The original set is placed in a small safe and stored in one of the vaults of the United States Treasury, while other sets are stored in vacuum in order to preserve their character istics of color and leaf. This method of storage is described and illus trated in Service and Regulatory An nouncement Number of the Office of Markets and Rural Organization, which also gives full, illustrated description of the cotton grading rooms of the Department and of the equipment and processes used in making up practical forms of the Off, | ficial Cotton Standards.

MARKET IS STEADY
 AND PRICES GO UP
Better Tone and Bullish Spot Reports Bring Gain-Close 5-9 Up.-New Crop Deliveries Make New High Ground.

New York, Feb. 10.-While fluctua- tions were irregular, the cotton mar ket showed rather steadier tone to- day, in sympathy with higher Liver pool cables and more bullish spot ad- vices from the Eastern belt. After selling at 12.25c early, May eased off to 12.15c, but rallied in the late trad ing and closed at 12.24c, with the gen eral list closing very steady, at net advance of to 9 points.
 The market opened at an advance of 5 to 9 points in response to the firmness of Liverpool, March con- tracts selling at 12.05c, July at 12.40c and October at 12.43c, on or imme- diately following the call. One of the private cables attributed the strength of Liverpool to spinners calling and light offerings, but another said it reflected scare over the freight situ- ation, which might possibly have arisen from denials that the German ocean raider has been captured, as rumored yesterday.
 Rather an easier tone in New Or leans encouraged the decline, which carried March contracts off to 12.06c, July to 12.31c and October to 12.35c during the middle of the day, O. about net unchanged to 4 points lower Offerings were not heavy, however and the market 3teadied on reports that yesterdays larger business in the Eastern belt spot markets had been followed by higher prices today New crop deliveries made new high ground for the day just before the close and last prices were within a point or two of the best

COMMISSIONER PAGE RE-
 GENES FAVORABLE REPORTS

Little Rock, Feb. 11.-During the
 spring of 1914 Commissioner John Ii.
 Page distributed about 4,000 pack
 ages of cotton seed which he ob. tained from the Government through the assistance of Senator James ?. Clarke. These packages contained about one pound each, and were dis tributed among farmers who re- quested it. A great many favorable reports have been received. ". T. Fine of Newport reports that he planted the one-pound package separ- ate from other seed in 1914, and from it gathered 115 pounds, yielding 66 pounds of seed, which he planted in the spring of 1915, making two acres. From this he raised two bales, gath cred last fall and ginned and yielding 2,000 pounds of seed, a sufficient amount to plant this years crop. The two bales of lint cotton he sold at r cents per pound. The cotton is the Durango variety. .A

TEACH MARINE CORPS SMOKE
 "SPIGGOTY" CIGARETTES

Port-au- Prince, Haiti, Feb. 11.-In return for their services in teaching the native Haitiens sanitation and the value of solid government under in flexible laws, the Haitens have taught their United States Marine Corps mentors the gentle art of smoking black "spiggoty" cigarettes and new way to remove tobacco stains from the fingers.
 A pasty mixture of sulphur, pum- ice, and juice from the lime will all most instantly remove tell-tale to- bacco stains from the fingers of in veterate cigarette smokers, the na- tives have found, and United States Marines on duty here are giving the new-learned method a thorough try ing out.

FIGHT IS STARTED
 ON SHIP B IL
Representative United States Chamber of Commerce De- mands that Private Lines be Subsidized.

Washington, Feb. Whether the administration ship purchase bill shall enter as drawn or have written into it a subsidy clause and a time limit on government operation of merchantmen is the big issue on the measure put up to the merchant ma rine committee today.
 Representing opposite views were Secretary Redfeld of the department of commerce, who indorsed the meas ure as introduced and w. H. Douglas, chairman of the merchant marine committee, of the United States Chamber of Commerce who insisted that the country wanted private lines subsidized rather than government operation of shipping. MT. Redfield urged especially that the bill should be enacted into law speedily. At best under the present conditions he said it was doubtful if any vessels could be obtained before the end of 1913.
 Sharp exchanges between Chair man Alexander and Representative Hardy and MT. Douglas followed an assertion by MT. Douglas that public sympathy was not with the bill. Chairman Alexander questioned the authenticity of referendum reports of commercial organizations against the measure submitted by the witness. Secretary Redfeld announced the American Bureau of Shipping have perfected plans whereby parts for steel ships to carry from 1000 to 5000 tons could be made in any con struction steel plant and shipped to harbors for assembling. European countries having no such plants he added could not compete with Ameri- can builders in this construction.

NEW BREAK FAVOR-
 ABLE TO LEVEES
Official Guage Reading From Helena Indicated Mississippi Flood Was at Crest There With Fifty-three Feet.

Iittle Rock. Feb. 10.-A new break in inc levee on the north side of the Arkansas river four miles south of yancopin. Desha county, early today considerably relieved the situation at Arkansas City where a desperate fcbt is being made to hold the Mis- sssippi river levees.
 Due to this it is believed the Mis- sissippi remained stationary at 56.f feet all day. While the new flood will check the falling of the flood waters in Arkansas City this is well comed according to T. B. Gilbert of Arkansas City, chairman of the Pen sas Basin Levee Board. MT. Gilbert said the flood waters are welcomed at this time as they exert a pressure against the levees that offsets the terrific pressure of the Mississippi flood on the other side of the em- bankment.
 As a result of the new break he believes the Mississippi will go no higher than 56.S feet, instead of 57 feet as has been expected. A de- tail of state militia from Dermott with large supply of tents from the Little Rock arsenal arrived at Lake Village today to render any as- sistance possible. A count at Niece hee today showed 279 refugees mostly negroes living in box cars on rail roads At Clarendon the White river continued to fall slowly. With only few hundred men left in the city the situation there is we'll in hand.
