River Boats Held Up.
The Oregon City Transportation com
pany IS boats are held up in Portland,
unable to get through the government
locks at Oregon City. The locks are

In State House Basement.
At the state house for the second
time in years there is water in the
basement and a pump and two siphons
were holding it steady at noon at a
depth of eight inches.
The supreme court building also had
water in the basement and as it made
its first appearance last night some
time it did considerable damage. State
Printer Lawrence was busy man
this morning getting stock out of
danger and had placed some two
thousand dollars worth in safety up
to noon. About $500 damage was done
to his stock before the water was dis
covered to have found its way into the
basement. A woodsaw outfit was com
mandeered, pump rustled up and the
two were put at work getting the
flood lowered. Some of the employees
were doing the barelegged stunt pack

there will be no further losses.
Rumor Bridge Is Out
Judge Bushey says a small culvert
about five miles east Of town was
washed out and an embankment south
east of the city was broken through
and washed away by the flood. There
was a rumor this morning to the eff

am near Stayton had gone out, but
this could not be confirmed. AS to
this Judge Bushey said he did not be
lieve the bridge would go out; but
that it was possible the river had cut
new channel around it, as this has
been feared for sometime.

OF STARS AND

Loyalty Pledge is Signed by
Large Number of
Citizens.
Officers Urge all Who De
sire to Join to Send in
Cards at Once.

At a public meeting held September

Grand Forks was organized. Several
hundred persons joined at this meet
ing, and officers were designated.
These officers Immediately began work
to bring the league and its principles
to the attention of all the citizens of
done with much thoroughness, and as
a result the membership Of the league
now numbers about seven Thousand,
of whom five thousand are adults.
These splendid results have been OBJ
tanned very largely through the CO.
operation Of j. Nelson Kelly, superin-
tendent of city schools, and his loyal
force of teachers. AS a result of their
initiative the pupils in the public
schools made a canvass of the city
with very encouraging results. How
ever, there still remains in the city
a number Of people who have not
seen fit to join the league and to take
its pledge. which is:
ITO Loyalty support our govern
ment; to do all I can to put down
sedition and to speak no word and
to do no act which will tend to
lessen the chances Of our govern
ment for success in this war"
All Should Join.
Some OF n people who have FAIL
ed to sign this membership pledge
after being given an. opportunity to
do SO, seem to base their action upon
the feeling that being citizens of this
country, there is no particular neces-
sity for them to put themselves on
record. Perhaps this would be very
true in ordinary times, but these peo-
Pile forget that ordinary. conditions
do not prevail; for when the govern
ment is facing a great crisis, no loyal
citizen should have any objection BIZ t.
support the government and do every
thing to assist 1t in winning the war.

our government and is not willing to

A NORWICH INTERVIEW
Mrs. Brown TeIIs Her Experience.

The following brief account of an interview with a Norwich woman over six years ago, and it's sequel, will be read with keen interest by every c1t1- zen.
 Mrs. Margaret Brown, $40 w. Main Street, says: My back and kidneys were in bad way and suffered much from a dull, heavy ache in my back. It grew worse gradually until it was almost impossible for me to get out Of bed mornings. [ was in that con- dition for nearly a year, trying differ ent medicines without help. Finally I happened to hear of Doan's Kidney Pills and I got some at Sevin 6 Sons Drug Store. ] found them just what I needed. They made me feel like a different woman, better than had felt for years. My kidneys are now acting regularly and the pains have left" (Statement given July P, 1911.)
 On May Is, 1916, Mrs. Brown said: "Doan's Kidney Pills certainly are ex- ceIlent and they do what is claimed for them. At times, when a cold set ties on my kidneys and causes my Pills and they never fail to give me prompt relief"
