new GRADE RULE
HURTS FIR MEN

A. A. Lausmann says that new
grade ruling for ties. as ordered by the
railroad administration. will put local
mills out of business. unless the rules
are modified.
81 have made no investigation of
other Districts, says Mr. Lausmann,
but | cannot see how there can be
any material difference with manufac-
turers elsewhere If replacement
value were set on mills, donkeys, ca
bles, equipment and the proper depre-
citation charged, most of the mills
would be operating at a destructive
loss. That tends to show that when
the operator faces equipment replace
ments he is unable to make such re-
placements, and curtailment of product
will result
Under new rules, according to Mr..
Lausann, the railway administration
calls for four distinct grades Of ties,
and the cost of manufacture for mid
Columbia mills will be increased 80
cents per thousand.
"Up to date this season, says Mr..
Lausmann local tie mills have pro.
duced approximately l50,0 pieces.
If the new rules are placed in effect
these mills viii be unable to run next
season, and in fact, some Of them may
have to close down before this seasor
is over.

issues these rules for fuel OIL saving:
Keep all lamps and lanterns clean.

See that burners and Wicks of all oil

Don't use coal oil for cleaning pur-

The official report of the sinking OF
the famous British submarine Ella off

loss of her commander, Lieutenant Com
mander Geoffrey White, and all except
seven of the crew, has just been pub

The Ella left Mudroson the evening OF
January 81 and proceeded up the Dar-
danelles to search for the Goeben. After
diving under submarine nets she found
that the Goeben had left a few hours
previously, 80 Commander White turned
back, keeping a sharp lookout for enemy
, craft.
A torpedo was fired at the ship which
carried the Goeben's ammunition, caus-
ing a heavy explosion which extinguished
