! The Observer has often times pointed
out the dangers Of an Eastern Oregon
man running for office in this, our
great state of Oregon. Yet, even in the

that a few impediInents were thrown in

The troubles kept coming.
President Wilson, through bone

time he found out he could not make

been before twisted, causing the old
beast to begin backing up hill.

more, happened to Walters campaign,

TATION.
CHAPTER LXXXIv.

Ruth hovered over her aunt solici-
tiously as she removed her wraps; then
proudly led the way to the dining room.
Mrs. Clayborne did not restrain an ex-
clamation of pleased surprise and de-
light as she saw the artistic room with
the hangings of stuff given Ruth by
her employer; the dainty table appoint
ments, and all, came in for their share
of admiration.
Ruth was in the "seventh heaven"
"Don't praise her too much, Mrs.
Clayborne. You'll make her impossible
to live with, if you do" Brian re-
marked facetiously, rather pleased at
the way he had been greeted by this
wealthy aunt of Ruth s.
He always had felt smoldering
sort of anger at Mrs. Clayborne, not
only because Of her objection to him,
but because she had done so little for
Ruth, who was the only relative she
had, and so, at least he figured it thar
way, entitled to be given a part Of
what she would ultimately have.
Had he known that when Ruth mar.
ricd him, had he known that, when
Mrs Clavborne found out he was not
earning enough to support Ruth with
out working, she had changed her will
which had left everything unreservedly
to Ruth, and had put the money in trust
for Ruth for the length of time they
lived together, he might not have felt
so elated by her suavity. Mrs. Clay
borne had fixed impression that Ruth
would not long be contented as the
wife of poor man, so had arranged
her matters with that in view.
The dinner was one of Rachel's mas
terpieces in the culinary line.

wondering if your paper would publish

on the status Of the newspaper business
as it looks to the public todayl Surely
after such kind attitude ON the part
of the papers in publishing articles

they would consider few of the kind

offered to them.
To me it seems that the recent need

that the public would like very much
to see removed.
The writer believes that a newspaper

the interests Of mankind and the public

permitted to come into our homes and
find its place on the table alongside of

Ruth told of her work, her employer,

of Brian. His ambition to learn tipping

THE LONGEST PEACE CONFERENCE.

his hands, 1t will probably be the longest session Of this
kind in history
1t is considerable task to settle the affairs Of two
nations that have been fighting comparatively small
over comparatively simple matter; as the Spansh-Am
ercan and RussoJapanese conferences attest What may
expect then, when it comes to winding up the great
est and most complex of all wars?
Almost the whole map of Europe has to be re-arrang
ed The affairs of nearly of begerents have to
be adjusted and hamonzed The status of several new
nations has to be determined international law has TO
be largely rewritten Some sort Of wordfederaton has
to be worked out The question of military armament
must be decided. There will be battling economic prob
lens to deal with We might almost say that the affairs
of the whole world will have to be put in order
1t will be the most Important council Of men that
ever assembled 1t will have the most work to do and
the hardest work 1t will probably do well if it completes
rough sketch Of a settlement in a year.

of all game matters in the District.
"There is no sale of migratory

OF
BIG LIBERTY DAY
CELEBRATION SAT-,

Imperial Valleys celebration of
Liberty Dav here, with its imposing
and Notwithstanding parade and
other highly interesting features, was
a success in every way.
The purpose for which it was con-
ceived-putting the county over the
top in the Fourth Liberty Loan, was
almost achieved, for late reports in
dicate that but $250,O00 to 100000
is needed to meet the quota.
Although the Ell Centre department
covered the prescribed distance in
the quickest time in the contest for
the firemen's championship of the
Valley at the Liberty Day celebration
Saturday afternoon, the boys We're
disqualified.
The entire affair was ruled "no
contest" as the judges were not al
the hydrant and no decisions were
given. The unofficial time announced
follows: Ell Centro, 62.5 second; Ca
lexico, 67 seconds; Holtville, 62.7 sec
onds and Brawley 74.4 seconds.
One of the most surprising features
of the big parade was the splendid
showing made by the FL Centric mu-
nicipal band under the leadership Of
Professor Michael Marone. Although
the new organization has had but
four rehearsals, its members have
demonstrated the ability of profess
sionals.
81 have had the directorship of a
number of professional bands and l
am free TO confess and gratified that
the boys made a wonderful show
ing" said Professor Marone. with
Two months more training and re-
hearsing together we can have a
band that will favorably compare
with professional organizations.

RUM0RS SAY.
PETITION IN.
ROSS CASE To.
GO To Cow I.

Unless the "flu" epidemic will pre-
vent it's meeting, the county grand
jury within the next two or three
DAYS expects TO take up it's probe of
the recent tarring of j. Edgar Ross,
Brawley apiarist, for his alleged re-
fusal to buy Liberty bonds.
The district attorney has recon-
mended that the county inquisitorial
body investigate the matter, declar-
ing that it has greatre authority and
widew powers than his office, thus
assuring a thorough threshing out of
the controversy.
Feeling in the case is running high
in Brawley and, few, if any, persons
have failed to align themselves on
one side or the other, the majority
seemingly being in sympathy with the
small group of men who administered
the black bath TO Ross.
While no confirmation of the ru-
stoodo this afternoon that memor-
ial or petition to the federal authori-
ties in Los Angeles was being pre-
pared. This petition is to be signed
by prominent persons in every city of
the Valley, asking the federal oov-
ernment to keen hands off and allow
the matter to be settled locally.
Ross and his friends have sought
to obtain the support of federal of
ficials in the prosecution of his as
sailants,. having made special trip
to Los Angeles with his attornev to
place before the government repre-
sentatives his side of the case.

DRIVE HUNS

P[ATEAU IN.
NEW SMASH.
New Allied Victory on the
Western Front Ruins the
Entire German Defensive
System.
(By Associated Press)

Paris, Oct. 14-Another victory has
been added to the long trail of glory
blazed by the Allied armies.
Laon plateau has been won, crown
ing the Cambria, st. Quentin and
Champagne offensives. The maneu-
vers successfully elaborated bv Mar
shall Foch have enabled the accom-
plishment of this result without the
loss inseparable from direct attack.
The result is the ruin of the entire
German defensive system built since
1914. Its cornerstone was Loan pla-
teau and it was from this plateau
that the sixth great German drive to-
war Paris was started. Its fall is
the prologue to the total liberation of
France.
The fury of the attack indicated
that the fighting armies were not
paying the slightest attention to
'peace talk" and they have smashed
ford with all the dash which has
characterized their recent operations
If Allied progress continues, the Ger
mans along the Belgian coast, in
cluding tire submarine bases and Lit
tie salient, will have 10 get out or
face another Sedan.
The French have repulsed the re-
naming enemy troops showing resis-
tance on the north bank of the Aisne
canal south of Chateau Porcien.
The British have gained ground
north and south of Douai.
The Serbians took enemy positions
north of the city after capturing Nish
Saturday.
French cavalry has occupied Bel
Planka.
Sixty-five hundred civil populate
were liberated when the French occt
pied Laon.
The French have passed far bevo
the town along the whole front /
tween the Disc and Ailette.
General Pershing has reported u
repulse of strong repeated enem
counter attacks upon newly-wt
American positions on both sides o
the Meuse.
He said the Americans were con
tinuing to participate in successful
operations with the British south of
LIE Chateau and with the French in
Champagne.
Paris newspapers believe that the
continued Allied advance will force
the Germans to hastily retreat to the
Lille Mezieres- Metz line. The Ger
mans are retreating with difficulty,
as airplanes are bombarding their
railroads.
1t is reported that the British have
outflanksr Couchain and are advan-
cling on Denain.
The Americans are advancing in
the direction of Dun Sur Meuse, IN
The Argonne sector, according to the
Intransigeant.
The British, French and Belgians
have attacked on wide front in
Flanders. They are driving toward
Ghent and Courtrai and have made
excellent progress. This may prove
to be Foch's master stroke.

Mr.. Schireson, who was we'll

killed in action on September /, but
the news had just been sent his par
ents in Los Angeles by the War De-
partment. He was killed in the ac-

the American troops won much
glory.
Just a few days ago the soldier
wrote to his brother telling of his
visit to the grave of Quentin Roose-
welt, aviator son of the ex-president,
who lost his life in an aerial battle
The dead man had been in France
for more than six months, entering
the service about year ago. Up to
