WHY IMPROVE THE RIVERS?

The Oregonian criticises the government engineers
who reported adversely the improvement of the upper
Columbia 1t takes the position that the fact that present
conditions do not warrant these improvements is decided
y wrong Looked at from that viewpoint only there is
merit in its contention; but unfortunately that not the
only viewpoint nor is it the most prominent The
strongest argument against improving the Columbia and
many other streams that when vast sums have been
expended in these improvements they not taken adj
vantage Of The general government spent millions in
opening the Columbia building canal and locks at the
Cascades and others at Cello. The citizens of Oregon
and especially of Portland have done little to profit by
these improvements. At time since the locks and canal
were completed at the Cascades than 20 years ago.

advance in railroad shares was well sus-
tanned, extending with more or less pos
itiveness into the industrials, some of
which scored very considerable advances
The railroad crisis is probably now at
its most acute stage, the severe cold
spell having seriously added to the diff
ficulties of operation. The latter are
now being met, as they should be, by
a centralized power; and before long
considerable relief will undoubtedly be
forthcoming. Singleness in operation,
however, will not be sufficient. The
great problem of how the roads are to
meet expenses and pay reasonable
profit, without which they can secure
no additional capital, still demands So
luton. Whether the roads will be al
lowed to increase their charges, as they
ought to be, or whether the government
viii be obliged to give some form of
financial aid, remains to be seen. Con-
gress is about to take up the railroad

Trotsky Makes Big Bluff.


Petrograd, Jan. I1.-kussia will moi
agree to a peace devised by German i'm
perialists; she will fight to the bit
ter end and rely on the great plain
people Of the Central Powers to rise III
ana aid in international peace.
Minister Of Foreign Affairs Trotsky
so declared in a speech at Brest-LitovsB
in the first of the renewed peace meet
ings, according to dispatches from that
place today.
As if to back up his vigorous. words
Petrograd was in a fever of war pre-
paratlons today.
Russia has no intention of suing
for mercy" Trotsky declared, II the
imperialists refuse to listen to the voice
Of the people.
elf the Central Powers democrats dc
not speak, Russia will fight to the bit
ter end-so much from the trenches al
in an uprising of the people to inter
pose barrieades at every step against
their oppressors.
Trotsky insisted upon transfer of the
peace negotiations to Stockholm.
Nichola Lenine re-echoed his fellow
Bolsheviki's sentiments as to Russia &
determination TO fight for an adequate
peace, in an interview given out prior
to his departure, presumably for Stock
holm today.
81 fear we must halt our demobiiza'
ton and prepare for war;" he declared
eff Germany win not accept our con
ditiOns, we shall declare a revolution
airy war. We viii not agree to shame
full peace.
here in Petrograd today there was a
sudden display of great energy at the
ministry of war offices, where it was
admitted the Bolsheviki were seeking
to reorganize the transport Of supplies
in view Of the possibility Of war con
tinuing. The first step in demobiliza
tion of non-essential army units already
undertaken in part, was expected TO les
sen the pressure preeeptibly on the
transport of army supplies.
Defense plans for Petrograd itself
are being drawn. Guns are being shifted
from the northern front. Ensign Krv.

Naval Oil Reserves

Washington, Jan. 11.-Senator Swan
son, Virginia, today introduced bill
authorizing the navy department to
take over and operate naval oil re-
serves in California and Wyoming.
The bill, which has the backing of
the navy department, is designed to
settle long controversy over private
claims within the naval reserves.
1t provides that the government shall
take over all lands and equipment and
pay the private claimants either in
money or by giving them land outside
the reserves. Disagreements over com
pensation are to be settled by the fed
Ierai courts. The navy department is
empowered to produce the oil and sell
what it doesn t need for its own uses.
lAonev SO derived is to 60 into the
operating fund.
The oil reserves were excluded from
the Walsh leasing bill recently passed
by the senate because the navy de-
partment wishes to take this method
of settling with private claimants who
have for several years been resisting
government attempts to oust them.
Swanson sought to have the bill
sent to the naval affairs committee OF
which he is ranking MEMBER but oppo-
sition developed and the bill was or
dered printed.

At ONCE! STOPS
STOMACH MISERY
AND INDIGESTION
''Pape's Diapepsin" Makes
Sick, Sour, Classy StOmachs
Z Feel Fine

Do some foods you eat hit back
taste good, but work badly; ferment
into acids and cause sick, sour, gassy
stomach? Now, Mr.. or Mrs. Dyspeptie,
jot this down: Pape's Diapepsin helps
neutralize the excessive acids in the
stomach so your food won t sour and
upset you. There never was anything
so safely quick, so certainly effective.
No difference how badly your stom-
aeh is upset you usually get happy re-
lief in five minutes, b. what pleases
you most is that it helps to regulate
your stomach so you can eat your favs
orite foods without fear.
Most remedies give you relief some
.times-they are slow, but not sure
rs Pape' s Diapepsin is positive in
neutrahzing the aeidity so the mis-
cry won ( come back very quick.
You feel different as soon as
/" "Pape's 5 DiapepsiR comes IN contact
with the stomaeh-distress Just van
ishes-your stomach gets sweet, ne
gases, no belehing, no eruetations of
undigested food, your head clears and
you feel fine
Go now, make the best investment
you ever made, by getting a large fif-
ty cent case Of Pape 5 Diapepsin from
any drug store. You realize in five
minutes how needless it is to suffeS
from indigestion, dyspepsia or any
stomach disorder due to acid fermen-
