appeared beneath the water.
A moment later another disap-
peared and still the surviving MEM
bers of the flock showed no anxiety.
They doubtless thought that the
others had Owed.
Several more went quietly under the
water, and we began to wonder
whether the lad would get the whole
flock, when a bird went under with a
great splash, and several ducks raised
themselves in the water, and twisted
their heads sharply from side to side.
Apparently unable to see any danger,
they stayed where they were, al
though on the alert. Presently anoth-
er one went under, and then two at
time; but out was caught only by one
leg, and made great squawking and
splashing as he went down. There
upon the rest took alarm, and flew
away.
We poled up, and found the youth
grinning, with eleven ducks in his
belt.

PORTLAND MARKET REPORT

The market opened for the week
with receipts of something more than
! 100 cars to face a steady market in all
departments, with some indications of
strength in the cattle and sheep
strings.
| Cattle
The supply of about 1900 cattle in
the stock yards for the opening mar
ket of the week does not merit the
same quality estimate as was placed
on the cattle offered in the previous
week. The market showed consider
able signs of strength, but not enough
TO warrant any elevation in the price
quotations. The cattle market is ac-
tive and the demand for a good quail
ity of steers is especially firm at the
following figures: Best beef steers
$900-9.75; good beef steers $7.50-S.75;
best beef cows $6.75-7.50; ordinary
cows $4.00-6.75; best heifers $500
500
No good hogs are being offered on
the market, and the 1000 or 1900 of
fered so far this week got away with
steady prices in comparison with the
close of last week. The following
quotations hold in the hogs alleys:
Prime light $17.S5-1S00; prime heavy
$17.65-17S5; pigs $15.00-16.50; bulk
$17.75.
Sheep
Trading in the sheep houses has
been very active in the early part of |
the week, the shipments of about 5000 |
to 1000 sheep changing hands readily
At the following figures: Western
ambs $13.00-13.50; valley lambs
s12.00-12.75; yearlings $10.75-11.00;
vethers $1,000 1915; ewes $S.00-900

A gentle sunset breeze was blowing
when we silently forced our punt into
the rushes about two hundred anc
fifty yards from where flock OF
ducks were busily engaged in diving
for celery roots.
Immediately the youth began his
simple preparations He put on a
stout leather belt with a rawhide
thong that passed through holes, and
formed a succession Of loops, like a
cartridge belt. II was ingeniously
arranged so that any one loop could
be drawn tight, and the slack passed
to its neighbor.
Next he drew from his bundle what
looked like decoy duck cut off at the
waterline, or just below it. Turning
it over, he showed us that il was sim
ply the skin of a duck, with beautiful
" stuffed head and neck, but quite
hollow inside. The main frame con-
sisted of strip of split bamboo,
bent into the shape of long, mar
row horseshoe. A little crossbar was
tied on with sinews about an inch
and a half from the heel end of the
shoe. The skin was sewn with sinews
TO the frame, but under the tail it was
entirely cut away, so as TO have an
open space.
Riding on the water, it looked like
a badly made decoy, because the head
and neck, being stuffed, were unduly
heavy, and the bird rode with it head
tipped forward and its tail absurdly |
cooked up.
The youth slipped into the water,
and, turning on his back, took the
little crossbar between his teeth. He
then lay floating quietly, the body of
the decoy covering his nose, eyes,
mouth and chin. The water was clear
and we could easily see him under the
surface. AT once we saw why the
skin of the decoy was cut away under
the tail. 1t was to enable him to, see
out.
The lad swan down the narrow pas
sage toward the flock. and we noticed
that the swiftly moving deeoy looked
exactly like a swimming mallard. The
same tiny waves ran out in a straight |
line from each side of the breast. /.

people and our own or to the solemn obligations which have been exchanged between them and destroy American ships and take the lives of American citi- zens in the wilful prosecution of the ruthless naval program they to adopt. Only actual overt acts on their part can make me believe it even now.
 If this confidence on my part in the sobriety and prudent for sight of their purpose should unhappily prove unfounded; If American ships and American lives should in fact be sacrificed by their naval commanders in needless contravention of the just and reasonable understand ings of international law and the obvious distates of human ity, I shall take the liberty of again coming before the con- gress to ask. that authority be given me to use any means that may be necessary for the pro- lection of our women and our people in the prosecution of their peaceful and Legitimate errands on the high seas. I can do noth- ing less. I take if for granted that all neutral governments will take the same course.
 We do not desire any hostile conflict with the Imperial Gov ernment We are sincere friends of the German people and earn estly desire to remain at peace with the government which speaks for them. We shall not believe that they are hostile to us unless and until we are Oblig- ed to believe it; and we propose nothing more than the reason able defence of the undoubted rights of our people. We wish to serve no selfish ends. We seek merely to stand true alike in thought and in action to the immemorial principles of our people which I had sought to ex press in my address to the senate only two weeks ago. We seek merely to vindicate our right to liberty and justice and an un- molested life. These are the basis of peace, not war. God grant that we may not be chal- lenged to defend them by the acts of wilful injustice on the part of the government of Ger many"

FOR OUR NATIONAL HONOR.

The United States today is closer to the brink of war than she has been at any time since the peace treaty with Spain was signed at Portsmouth.
 Germany has violated her solemn pledges, and has served practical notice upon this govern ment that our ships and citizens travel the high seas at their peril.
 This is in direct violation af all international law and practice, and is a repudiation of the pro- misses of the imperial govern ment to this country.
 There was nothing left for the president to do, if the honor of the nation is to be upheld, than to hand Ambassador Won Bern strff his passports and sever all diplomatic relations with the country that has broken faith with us.
 A united nation will line up solidly behind President Wilson. He has demonstrated that he will go to any honorable length to avert bloodshed; beyond such lengths we would not have him go.-Arizona Gassette.

The new oil Notation concen- trator at the Three R is now practically completed, and is only awaiting the extension of the power line to start up. It is ex- pected the power will be ready to turn on within few weeks, as poles have already been plac ed, and there remains only the work of putting on insulation and stretching the wires. The new plant is the very latest idea in modern concentration construc- tion. It was built at cost of about $4O, ,OOO, and is throughly up to- do- date in every particu- lar. It is built with 1OO-ton a day capacity, but it is believed by different methods of speeding up the machinery an output of 125 or probably even as high as 40 tons day can be run through. The building to cover the plant is also built with the idea in view of enlarging by the additions of another unit, every thing being so arranged that the entire plant can be doubled in capacity with the minimum of expense and labor.
 Nearly 100 men are now on the payroll at the Three R, and while the completion of the new concentrator will not require any considerable addition to the force as the mill works almost auto matically, within. short time the mine force will probably have to be increased. It is estimated that there is now enough ore on the dump to keep the new mall going at full capacity for two or three months.-Patagonian.

Detailed instruc- tions will be sent as needs develop.
 The central committee asks for a prompt acknowledgment by letter or telegram of these in- structions, giving an outline of your preparations. Call freely upon headquarters for full CO., operation, since the central com mittee realizes the opportunity for cooperation with outside organizations, which should be- | gin work at once. File names and addresses of all volunteers, assigning as far as possible in above committees. If not already | done, appoint committees on education outlined in circular No. IA. For information con- corning courses of instruction for lay women, inquire of the Bureau of Nursing Service, Washington. Refer all graduate nurses to the same bureau, physi- clans volunteering should be re- ferred to Washington Men wish | ing to volunteer for service should take first aid courses of instruction for lay women, and sanitary training attachments should be taken up at once; see circular 136.
 Present to the public the im- portance of supporting chapter membership and appoint spe- cial committee to conduct an aggressive membership enroll service and bespeak every effort for complete and thorough or ganization for possible needs.
 Give this telegram full publi- city in all papers.

Never in the history of this community has there been as much thievery going on as there has been this winter. Twenty five years ago few people locked their doors. In front of every meat market sides of beef and other animals were left hanging out all night. Nobody watched and petty theft was rare oc- currence.
