party as whole.
Despite denial of passports to Stock
holm by the government, it is felt this
vote will result in victory for the
government. Henderson himself has
shown no disposition to continue the
fight, though he did critieise Lloyd
George sharply in addressing commons.
He declared, however, it would not be
in the national interest to reveal de-
tails of the controversy at this time.
Great credit was given former Prem
ier Asquith today for his part in still
ing the storm which has been raging for
days.
When the debate, with its charges
and recininations was at its height,
Asquith rose and delivered a speech
which was warmly received and ap-
plauded by all factions.
There is hope that the controversy
which admittedly might have most
serious effect on the conduct of the
war, will not break out again. There
is no assurance that such will be the
case, however,

SUNPTER DESTROYED
BY FIRE YESTERDAY
Famous Old Mining Camp,
Largest In Oregon, Wiped
OF the Map

Baker, Or, Aug. 14.-Sumpter,, fif-
teen years ago the coasts largest min
ing camp, today is only memory.
A field Of smoking ruins marks the
townsite. No more than score of
buildings in the outskirts of the city
were left by the fire Six hundred per-
sons are homeless and property damage
is estimated at 100000.
Survivors today are searching for two
missing miners and mill wright who
may have lost their lives in the fire.
The fire is believed to have been
caused by faulty flue in the Capital
hotel. The town was built principally
of wood and the buildings were as dry
as finder. The blaze spread rapidly, and
a call for help was sent to Baker. A
special train with large amount of
fire apparatus and 100 fire fighters left
Baker Immediately, but they were un-
able to get near the fire because of
the great heat. Dynamite was used in
an unsuccessful effort to check the
flames.
In the height of its boom days IL
years ago, Sumpter had population of
twenty thousand and night life and
business district which rivalled an Alas
kan camp. In recent years, however,
most of the buildings have been desert
ed, many streets grown up in grass and
brush and the population dwindled
down to 800 or thousand.
Sumpter win probably not be rebuilt.
Less than one tenth of the loss was
covered by insurance.

TRIED TO SHUT OFF
C|TY'S WATER SUPPLY
UnexpIOded Bomb Found at
Intake Of Works Supply
ing City Of Ogden

Salt Lake, Utah, Aug. 14.-Govern-
ment officials are today investigating
an attempt made last night to destroy
Ogden's water supply at the city reser-
voir. Ogden is thirty miles from Salt
Lake City.
The Bomb, an ingtnious affair, made
by binding six sticks of dynamite to-
gether in paper sack, was found by
Louis Cunningham, the night guard. 1t
was lying just few feet from the
point where the wood stave conduit en-
bties into the smaller of the two city
reservoirs.
The fuse had been lighted and had
burned two feet when the explosion
was prevented by a crink in the remain
ing two feet of fuse.
Had the explosion occurred, the thir-
ty six inch conduit would have been
broken. This would have emptied both
reservoirs of water. The uncontrolled
flood would have poured down Twenty
Second and Twenty Third streets, caus-
ing great damage to property.
Furthermore the force of the explo-
sion would have broken the smaller OF
the two reservoirs, permitting the water
to escape upon the city.
Defective Fuse Saved It.
Before the break could have been re-
paired the entire city would have been
without water for two or three days
even though a large force worked con

up production and otherwise cooperate
with the aircraft production board.
The lumbermen agreed to supply
spruce to the government at $105
thousand feet, the figure suggested by
the government.
The allied nations will need 117,000,-
600 feet of airplane spruce in the next
year and half, according to eonserva-
tive estimates AS only about IS percent
CT log is available for airplane stock,
fully six hundred million feet of lum-

London, Aug. 14.-George N. Barnes

resulting from Henderson Is activities

Barnes acceptance of the post, from

Henderson has not the support of all
leaders of his party. A conference of
the executive committee of the labor

Irrigation District: Water cannot
be turned into the Canyon Canal I'M
til the cleaning of the canal is COM
pleted. Owing to the scarcity of labor
the Board of Directors are unable TO
secure men for this work, and the
water users must be depended on to
do it in order to make sure of an ade-

teams are needed, and if all the
farmers will get into the work the
job can be completed in short order.
We hope prompt and general res

Forthcoming.
