The list was read by the rector and
was heartily applauded by the com.

w. r. Lacey that his talk bordered
upon the war issue and it's influences.

days of 1S60-65, when he ran away
and followed his two brothers to en-
list and was prevented only by his
father on account of being under age
and the sole dependant of the old
folks at home. Mr.. Lacey is always a
good talker but upon this occasion he
was even better than usual.

VANCOUVER BRIDGE IS
OPENED OVER COLUMBIA
Famous Ferry Boat TOOts Whistle and
The Immense Structure Is Thrown
Open to the People.
Omitted Press)


VANCOUVER, Wash, Feb. 15-In a
din of steamboat whistles, changing
bells and cheers from thousands of
spectators, the new $1,75O,000 inter-
state bridge between Oregon and
Washington was opened yesterday.
The structure is one of the longest
in the world, four miles, including APP
proaches. 1t spans the Columbia riv-
er between Vancouver and Multino
NAH counties, a few miles from Port
land.
When the great central draw was
lowered into place today, a street car
crowded with officials and noted visi-
tors slowly crossed. That was the
signal for an outburst of noise such
as the old Columbia never heard be-
fore A procession of flag bedecked
automobiles followed the car and an
other long line of machines started at
the same time from the Washington
side. They passed in the middle.
While the crowd was assembling,
an old. weatherbeaten ferry boat, the

its berth on it's last trip across the
Columbia. The bridge had superseded

CAR SHORTAGE THE
SUBJECT OF BOOKLET
Oregon Short Line Sends Out Pam
Phlet Describing Conditions Re-
sulting From War.

Bearing the title "Some Facts About
Car Shortage" a pamphlet issued by
the Union Pacific system was receiY-
ed in this city yesterday The book
let says that on October 1, 1916 the
car shortage was 1,O3O, by Novem-
Der !, this had grown TO 114,9OS while
by December 1 the situation was
slightly better. The shortage is
contrasted with the surplus of cars
before the war and the statement
that it was due to the war that the
shortage occurred. The statistics pre-
sent some variable phases. For in
stance two months before the war
broke out, there was a surplus of 241,-
500 cars, While by October /. about
two months after war started this
surplus mentioned, perhaps the great
est in the history of the railroads,
seems to have been ten months after
the war broke out, or on June 1, 1915,
when the surplus was 299, 92S cars.
To what cause the remarkable growth
, in the number of idle cars from 49,,
299 on October 1, 1914, to 299,92S on
June /. 1915, all during war times, the
booklet does not explain
The steps taken by the roads to in
crease the efficiency of the individual
car and the small percentage Of de-
fective cars on the system are noted
and many interesting facts concern
ing railroad operations under present
conditions are described.
Freight congestion, beginning at the
Atlantic coast and extending westward
is described briefly.
The booklet was written by Ballard
Dunn, the well known writer on rail-
road subjects.

COMPULSORY TRAINING
BILL is REPORTED
General Staff Prepares Measure Which
May Be Submitted to Referendum
Vote of People.

WASHINGTON-Ad detailed plan for
the establishment of a national policy
of universal military training and ser
vice was laid before Secretary Baker
Wednesday by the army general staff.
1t differs radically from that provided
for in the Chamberlain bill, favorably
reported Saturday by the senate mill
tarv committee, in that a full year of
training would be required as the alb
eolute minimum The senate bill is
based on six months training
The staff bill was submitted to eacn
of the SO members of that body and
represents the concensus of their opin-
ion. 1t is understood to have been
worked out in much greater detail than
the senate bill, which leaves wide de-
detrimental power to prescribe regu-
lations.
Secretary Baker has indicated that
the recommendations of the staff
would be made public later even in
the event that the plan does not re-
ceive the Administrations approval,
co that il can serve as a basis for dis
cussion before the country after the

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Feb. ID
While North Dakota's farmer legis-

adjustment of a terminal elevator
at St Paul, rival of this city, the
national annual convention of the
Farmers Grain Dealers association,
which is not in sympathy with the
farmers political movement, met here
for a two days session
The non partisan league, the pOlit-
ical organization that gained COM
plete control of the North Dakota

sociation to its bosom. Instead, the
farmers of the Northwest have been
taught by the Equity association,
the marketing force behind the non
Partisan league, that the Farmers
Grain Dealers association is contrOll-

of the Non Partisan league is prima-

Trufanof, Gs many Americans know, was
for many years the closest friend and
confidant of Rasput!n, the holy devil
of the Russian court. As Father lilo
dor. Abbot of the great Russian monas-
terry Of Tsaritzin, he was intrusted with
the preparation of Rasputin for the
priesthood, and the latter, at a time
when he was hard pressed by his ac-
cusers, sought in every way TO promote
the fortunes Of his friend in order to
gain his powerful support and that OF
his immense popular following. Later
Iliodor obtained indisputable evidence
of the scandalous exploits" OF Raspu-
tin. He then broke of his irksome
friendship and led popular campaign
not only against the "holy devil" him,
self, but also against the Holy Synod
and the Car and Czarina, who shielded
him from the indignation Of the Rus
sian people. Unfrocked and imprison
ed. Iiiodor escaped to Norway and
eventually to New York, where he is
living.
