If the worst they must prepare to stake
 their lives fortunes and sacred honor the outcome They must stand togeher-a nation with but single purpose and soe resolve to face the issue becomes great people in such awful hour.
 Germany is desperate. Her hopes for consultation of peace blasted her diplomacy thrown into the discard her plea for sympathy unanswered she has struck like the lightning and staked her existence the of the terrible She IS thinking not of the rights of neutral naon but of her starving population and the calamity that will she fails She hear nothing but the of her people, and in this she finds supreme justification unprecedented action.

THE NATION AND THE RAILROADS.

 For many years there has been steady warfare made upon railroads the old that they engines oppres sion to the people This has hurt their credit that they not been able to obtain the keep them the need ed efficiency to build branch lines. The late Hill before his death sounding against the prosecution which in the prosecutions directed against the railroads almost discriminatory and he explained that they prevented the obtaining the absolutely needed keep condition to perform the increasing work exacted of them
 This winter has opened the minds of millions of people the fact that that business and in large the lives of the people depend their roads and their efficiency And the burdens of the railroads will steadily increase the pop lation increases
 We suspect that this ceaseless agitation against them will ultimately lead to the utter demOrzaon of great trans poraon systems and then to ownership of the railroads, with all the attendant dangers.

WANI!MANAGER TO
RAISE TOMALO dam
Would Clear OFF Soil So Bed
Rock at Reservoir Can
Be Studied

The state land board received let
ter this morning from the board Of en-
gineers which is inspecting the reser-
voir of the Tumalo irrigation project
recommending that the project manager
be authorized to raise a certain dyke so
as to hold two feet more of water in
the upper basin. 1t is estimated the
cost would be about 5000 The raise is
recommended so as to provide sufficient
head or power for sluicing purposes. 1t
is contemplated carrying the water in a
canal from the upper basin to point
above a part of the lower basin where
the leaks in the reservoir have been
made. This sluieing is to be done so
the biologists can clear the dirt away
and study the formation of the rocks.
II. Nj. Parks state geologist, is on the
ground, along with j. p. Newell, an eng
ineer of Portland.
The prospects are bright for the sale
of 5000 acres of Tumalo project land.
according to State Engineer Lewis,
who has just returned from trip to
that project Probably on account of
the recent situation regarding the food
supply, the demand for this class of
land has increased greatly, in the opin-
ion of the engineer. Already seven con-
tracts for the sale of 246 acres have
been made, eight more contracts are to
be closed soon, while there are % in
prospect. 1t is believed that the 5000
acres can be sold this summer. Here
tofore during the past two years none
of the land was sold and the picking up
in demand is encouraging.
Inquiries have been received from
Washington state for land to be used
in producing onions. During the past
80 days 500 tons of hay has been sold at
$l4 ton f, o. b. Desehutes. With the
mills at Bend turning out S00,000,000
feet Of lumber a year and a payroll of
100000 a month, that part of the
state is becoming attractive.

All Admire Joffre

Washington, April 25.-The tri-eolor
Of France takes its place today among
the allied flags floating over the war
capital of the world with the arrival
today Of the French commission head
ed by Former Premier Rene Viviani.
Long before the scheduled hour Of
arrival a crowd of men, women and
children, which promised TO be even
larger and more enthusiastic than that
which greeted Secretary Balfour and
the British party at the Union Station
Sunday. moved slowly toward the navy
yard from all directions.
Many of the informal welcomers bore
the tri-colors, the British emblem and
the Stars and Stripes.
The crowd eongregated gradually
around the high fenced and heavily
guarded yard, awaiting arrival of the
Mayflower in her slip.
Most of the talk among the crowd
here was of Marshal Joffre. He is the
same "papa" Ioffre, the beloved of
all poilus and of France.
1t will be the first time French war
riors have stepped upon American soil
for war work since the great French
Frigates helped America whip the Brit
ish at Yorktown.
From the navy yard the French par
ty will be escorted by two troops of
the second United States cavalry to
the residence of Henry White.
With the French party are naval,
military, aerial, munitions, shipping
grain and other experts, who will join
in the world war conferences.

BEWARE RUMORS

Nail fumor when you hear it.
There are scores of war rumors now
in circulation in Colorado. And they
seem to come from some common
manufactory, probably the nest of a
German sympathizer. Absurd reports
are constantly coming to the Colorado
Council of Defense.
1t is the German way of doing
things. By lies the German agents
would like to confuse and to frighten
the people of Colorado and of the ma
ton. As the result the food admin
istration has to deny the ridiculous
report that it intends to confiscate the
housewives stores of canned goods,
something it has no power to do and
would not do.
When a person repeats a rumor, ask
his name and the name of the man
who told him. Trace it down. Get
the address of those really respon-
sible. Malicious gossips will keep
still when hunted down.
