That sudden rush to get married re
ported in New York city, Chicago and
other big cities, because being married
excuses Young men from possible draft
for war work, draws the following we'll

SAYS: - want to send out a warning
TO Young girls who are marrying hastily
because Of the cloud Of war. If this is
not stopped at once there is going to be

The Fish and Game Appointment.
(Swanton Courier

(SWdnt0n COufleP.)
II seems to be the opinion through
ont the state that Mr.. Graham took
a wise step in appointing Linus Leav-
ems of Cambridge as fish and game com
missioner to succeed John w. Titcomb.
We hope il is true and that Mr.. Leavens
will handle the situation as all his
friends seem positive he will. Time
alone will tell how adaptable the com
missioner will be to the difficult guiding
of these important interests, which Mr.
Titeomb had so successfully kept TO
the forefront, weathering many storms
of derision.
The fish and game interests have
been bolstered up solely by one man.
The brains, the planning, the pushing,
was the work of Titcomb. lie had built
up around him u strong organization
of which he was the lit -, and he
gradually convinced many scotfcrs the
real and lasting value of his depart
mcnt to the people of this state. The
man who follows III Mr.. TitcOmb S foot
steps rs head Of the department of
fisheries and game has 4 hard row to
hoe this coming year. Ne doubt Mr..
Lcavens will pick up the tiller handily
and prove successful executive.
! To Us, it appears as If in the ap,
pointment of Senator Lcavcns, Mr.
Graham had favored a personal friend
1 The appointment is no doubt excellent
but the policy of the appointment i:
not to be commended. Though it i

of filling the office Of commissioner, ",
understand that a thoroughly traine'

The advisabilitv of Mr.. Graham

ENGLISH PREMIER SAYS
 ENTENTE MUST CONQUER
Reiterates Aims of Allies Before Great and Enthusiastic Holiday
 Crowd in Queens Hall, London.

London, Aug. 4.-David Lloyd George, the British premier. in the presence of distinguished gather ing representative of all parties which met this afternoon in Queens Hall to mark the third anniversary of the declaration of war, reiterated the alims for which the entente allies are fight ing and indicated the only conditions under which they would consent to a suspension of hostilities with the cen tral powers.
 The meeti.g was held under the auspices of the National War Aims committee and was probably the greatest patriotic demonstration of the year. The expectation had been that the premier's speech would be a most important one.
 The marquis of Crewe, leader of the Liberal party in the House of Lords, was chosen to preside. He was sup ported by the archbishop of Canter- bury, 20 members of the government and 100 members of Parliament. Baron Sonnie, the Italian foreign min ister, and Nikola Pachitch. the Serbian premier, were invited guests.
 Papers Discuss Peace Terms.
 London,A ug. 4.-Some of the re- views of the war published today by morning papers to memoralize the conclusion of three years of the strug- gle. are epigrammatic. For instance, that from Robert Cecil, which says
 "The path of freedom lies through the German lines.'
 Sir Edward Carson. minister with out portfolio, says:
 "The Germans unsheathed the sword; they must not be allowed to put it back unbroken."
 The editorials and reviews though firmly maintaining that victory for the allied democracies is absolutely as sured, that their strength is growing while that of the German allies is waning, recognize that Germany re- mains from military standpoint eco nomically and politically strong and formidable, and her downfall is hind cred by results of the Russian revo- lution
 Against the unquestioned disastr- ous effect of the destruction of Rus sia's offensive power, is hopefully set the entrance of America into the war, which is welcomed not only from a material point of view, but as an inn mensc moral indorsement of the aims all are fighting for.

Largest Steer at Nyssa.

Nyssa, Oregon. Journal: Nyssa's
greatest bid for fame is the fact that
it is the home Of the biggest steer in
the world. This monster animal is
the property of R. M. Horn of this
place and tips the beam at $500
pounds in his bare feet and he is far
from being fat at that. Several hun
dred more pounds can be packed onto
his huge frame without inconvenience
and the same is being rapidly accumu-
lated under the stuffing process he is
undergoing at the hands of his proud
owner.
The animal is Malheur County
product, having been born on a farm
in the Malheur Valley, and until
three years of age run on the range,
unaware Of the fame which awaited
his more mature years. He is row
eight years old and is pronounced by
experts to be perfectly proportional.
He stands 5 feet 9 inches at the
shoulders and has immense hind
quarters. He is a mixture of red and
road Durham and Hereford, having a
white face and dark brown body. Mr..
Horn has several handsome offers for
him for show purposes and is fatten-
ing him up now with that purpose in
view.
