the war and the Russian situation.
Trading was again almost exclusive
ly in the hands of professional traders
and an attempt was made to force
prices lower in the first hour. This
met with some success, but stocks raj
he'd gradually from the lower f1gures
established until the early afternoon,
when the list ruled irregular with
trivial net changes. Trading was in
restricted volume and attracted little
outside attention.
Stocks generally reached their best
prices in the last hour when number
of the steel and equipment issues were
marked up a point or more. The final
tone of the market was firm with more
or less changes.

PROPOSED LAW WOULD
CAUSE LOSS TO STATE
Commissioner Wells Objects
to Plan Of hsurilg Ships
Building

In order to prevent large sums OF
money from being lost to Oregon in
surance agents in premiums and com.
missions by having insurance risks on
vessels under construction by the En-.
ergency Fleet Corporation in Oregon
yards taken out with home office of
the various insurance companies, State
Insurance Commissioner Wells this
morning sent telegram to Senator Me
Nary protesting against the proposed
action.
This proposed action on the part Of
the Emergency Fleet Corporation would
be a violation Of the Oregon insurance
laws, which require that contracts for
insurance must be countersigned by a
resident agent in order to be legal.
Should insurance contracts covering
vessels under construction in Oregon be
placed without this signature of the
resident agent, the contract would have
no legal standing in this state.
In his telegram to Senator McNary,
Commissioner Wells says:
"This is contrary to the provisions
of the insurance law of Oregon and
detrimental to the interests Of our Ore
gon agents. 1t deprives our agents of
income from such business and the
state of taxes on such premiums.
We Respectfully request that you
protest to this board against the plac-
ing of insurance except in compliance
with the requirement of our law, and
that all insurance contracts will be
placed with agents in Oregon

This was stated scmi-officially today

''The Lonesome Chap"
at Oregon Thursday

BY strange coincidence the Pallas-
Paramount company discovered that
Emma Rochelle Williams gripping
story, "The Lonesome Chap" might
have been taken from real life.
The story has to do with a wealthy
young miner who has bull, for himself
a massive stone palace high up in the
hills and is just about to marry the girl
he loves when she deserts him for an
other.
One of the Pallas company scouts To-
Gated home exactly suited for this
purpose, in little town high in the
Sierra mountains. As the owner was alb
sent the company secured permission
from the caretaker to use the house for
the scenes They worked at the house
for nearly two weeks, returning every
night to the hotel in the village. Fin
ally, on the last day, House Peters got
to talking to the caretaker about the
owner and learned that he had built
the house practically with his own
hands-that he had superintended the
laying of every stone and the driving
of each nail, and at great expense had
the furniture brought from San Fran
cisco. All this was done in preparation
for his forthcoming marriage TO the
girl he had loved for years.
Advice reached him that the girl
had left for the west-the house was
fittingly decorated, and everything was
ready to welcome the bride. The man
was about to leave for the town to
meet her when second message
brought the news that his sweetheart
had met a man on the train-fallen in
love, and the two had stopped off and
were married STRANGE to say this is
practically the same situation as that
in the first part of the story of "The
Lonesome Chap.
''The Lonesome Chap will be shown
at the Oregon Thursday only.

america MUST GIVE
HER ALL TO WIN war
Returning Army Officers Real
ize Tremendous Character
of Work
By carl D. oroat.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington, July 25.-America must
give her all if She would turn the war
fortunes in Europe. That is the solemn,
emphatic message returning army of
ficers bring back here. They say that
as things stand now deadlock is the
only thing in sight on the West front.
They have reported to the war college
that the outlook is anything but opti-
mistic and privately they say that the
United States must awaken right now
unless Germany is to be the victor.
The Russian situation they regard as
nearly hopeless.
With Germany calling out more men
for next spring, these officers say that
America must realize that the war will
be long and bitter and that money and
men must be given unstintingly.
Their reports of conditions gave
fresh impetus to the demand among
many army and navy officers for a
more aggressive naval policy than has
been in force.
awe must come to il sooner or lat
er," said one of the highest govern
ment officials. "If we do not, we can
look for the triumph of the Usboat and
no decision on the long vest front. -
All authorities agree that it is UNI
wise for America to deceive itself in
the thought that the U-boat menace is
otherwise than very serious, or to un-
derestimate the strength and endurance
of Germany in the field.

Hundreds Of Barrels
Of LOganberry Juice

A visit to the Phez juice plant this
time of year gives one a good idea Of
the enormity of the loganberry industry
in the Willamette valley. Piled high on
the receiving platform last night the
berries, over three thousand crates of
them, awaited pressing. Not only were
there three thousand on the platform,
but more were coming in steadily, in
loads of $50 to 200 crates each.
The presses are working full time,
and the two shifts, one from a. m. to
6 .. m. and the other from p. m. to
6 a. nj. take care Of some four or five
thousand gallons of the fruit daily. So
far, the highest daily run of juice was
$3.50 gallons, last Saturday, although
several days since have shown up near
ly as well. According to the weighmas-
fer, yesterdays receipts were the larg-
est of the year.
