fact that the grounds include 100 acres
of level land, that more could be OBJ
tanned if necessary and also the con
venience of the grounds in the way
of railway facilities.
He also notes the fact that the
grounds are well drained, with ade
quate water supply and refers to the
number of large buildings, especially
the new brick stadium 200 by 800
feet. The governor feels that in every
way the state fair grounds are ad
apted for an eneampment of soldiers.
He also calls attention to the fact that
Oregon has no government barracks of
any proportion.
1t is probable that personal letters
will also be written to Oregon s SEN
ators and representatives giving more
details and asking that they call on
the war department and from personal
knowledge present the advantages of
the state fair grounds for an encamp-
ment of soldiers.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. W. STRAJS
PSssiSsni d Ne AHriean Society for TEriii

July Is, 1917, to July Is. 1915, re-
tail food prices for all the articles
combined increased 1850. Between
June Is, 1918. and July Is, 1918, twen-
ty-two essential food articles increas-
ed so. For the five year period from
July IS, 1918. to July Is. 1918, all food
combined showed an increase in price
of 600.
A faint idea of the amount of food
required for the American army may
be CLEANED from the following: The
sugar allotted the army for the eight
months prior to June 80. 1915, would
make a solid wall four feet wide and
five feet high from Baltimore TO
Washington. II would require S,S45
sixty-foot box cars to carry it and
would take six lnen working eight
hours day for five years to unload
it. One thousand American soldiers
consume 237 pounds Of sugar daily.
The purchase by the army from the
1917 pack of tomatoes would make a
single chain of tin cans reaching from
Seattle to New York City, thence
back to San Francisco, thence to New
Orleans; or if piled up, they would
make three monuments the size of the
Washington Monument.
These statistics, which come from
the Government, give us suggestion
of the tremendous economic task
ahead of the American people for at
least another year. Sane, systematic,
unstinted thrift viii he required from
each of us.

State Fair Grounds Are
Offered SECRETARY Baker

The Commercial club today wired the
Oregon representatives and senators in
Congress to use their influence with
the war department whereby the offer
of the state fair grounds as an army
training station might be favorably

Secretary of War Baker, calling atten-

sirable location for training camp
and offering the grounds for the period
of the war. He calls attention to the

STATE HOUSE NEWS


Still another delay in the production
of agricultural lime for commercial pur'
poses is indicated in a statement made
by Warden Murphy today to the effect
that the necessity of securing govern
ment permits for the purchase of GER
tain electrical equipment needed at the
plant is making the final operation of
the machinery on a full scale impos-
sible for a time. The delay may be
of only few days duration, however,
as he states the government authorities
recognize that these purchases are to
be given preferential rights and that
the only delay is through the formality
of the applications and the necessity
of making a showing that the equip
ment is to be used for the promotion
of agricultural development.
The board will meet at Gid Hill to-
morrow and in announcing the meeting
some time ago it was stated the men,
bers would be on hand to see the
plant start off with a bang in the
production of lime for Willamette
Valley farmers. The Warden states
that somt lime may be turned out dur
ing the next few days but it will not
be in anything like the quantity that
the board had hoped for when it made
the announcement that the meeting
would be held.

The Public Service Commission today
set September "a and Portland as the
place for hearing the application of
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company and the application of the
Northwest Electric Company for an
increase in their commercial power
rates. The P. R. l.. & P. hearing in
cludes large number of Oregon cities,
among them being Salem. Application
of that company was filed some time
ago, but the applications of the North
west company came in today and that
covers only the City of Portland.
The Northwest Company states that
its gross revenues are expected to in
crtast 32.4 per cent in 1918, but its
operating expenses will rise 100 per
cent during that time and that its
revenue per kilowatt hour viii be IA
per cent less in 1918 than in 1916 and
its operating expenses will show an
increase of 20 per cent over that year.
The company states that the cost of
labor, materials and supplies have gone
up materially, and that the greater in
crease in demand for electric energy
will require it to provide share of
it by steam generation, all of which
means more expenses and the conse
quent necessity for a higher rate.

Dernburg Declares
Germany Can't Win
On Battlefield Alone

AMSTERDAM, July IL. = In the
course of a debate on Wednesday in
the Prussian upper house, DR.. Bern
hard Dernburg, former German Min
! lister of Colonial Affairs, argued that
peace was never con ncluded on the
battlefield alone. Without the coop
Grafton of diplomacy no peace could
be attained, he declared.
If Prussia, said DR.. Dernburg, is to
maintain her leading position she must
make and continue to make moral con-
quests
II am rather doubtful whether she
has succeeded in this" DR.. Dernburg
added.
There were shouts of contradiction
at this, and the extremist junker, Herr
MISUNDERSTANDING, replied with
tlamboyant discourse on the greatness
of the House Of Hohenzolern, whose
members, ne said, "have ever educated
themselves and their people to fight
and die for the state"
OR. Dernburg is the last man who
ought to talk about moral conquests,"
he added. "Such things lead to ban
quets in honor to the American AM
bassador Gerard"
IL never regarded Mr.. Gerard as
fit object for moral conquests," DR..
Dernburg replied ~ lid attend the
banquet in question, but so did the
Vice Chancellor and the Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs"

mediate settlement Of the claim is
asked, it is said.
Colonel Sergius Cyon, Russian
army officer who has arrived at Stock
holm, says NJ. Manos, a banker, was
arrested in Petrograd several days ago,
according to a dispatch from Copen~
hagen to the Exchange Telegraph Com
pany.
Connected With Monarchists
Several documents and 100000 ru-
bles discovered in the house where the
banker was apprehended proved, said
the Russian officer, that Manos had
been in direct communication with the
late Count Won Mirbach. the German
Ambassador at Moscow, who was init
mately connected with the monarch
lists.
Russian railway men are on strike in
several districts, according to Zurich
dispatch quoting the Leipsig "Neueste
Nachrichten." The strike threatens to
become general, the newspaper reports.
One Of the murderers Of Count Won
Mirbach was arrested Thursday, ac-
cording to q Moscow dispatch to the

mitted from Copenhagen by the Ex-

Germans Whining at
Air Raid Reprisals
Duchy Of Baden Wants All
Attacks Kept Away From
Unfortified Towns

GENEVA, July 12.-Another campaign
has been undertaken along the Rhine in
order to prevent Allied aerial lombard
ment of Rhine towns.
The Landtag of the Duchy of Baden
has been asked to pass a resolution re-
questing the grand duchy to exercise
its influence with the imperial authori-
ties to come to an arrangement with the
belligerents to abandon on both sides
the aerial bombardment of towns out
side the zone of military operations.
In a speech in the Landtag Deputy
Narun declared aerial attacks on locali-
ties behind the front serve no military
purpose and that only innocent women
and children suffer.
In comm enting on this new campaign
the Lausanne Gazette" declares that
the Germans since the beginning Of the
war have bombarded London and Paris
with Heppelins and airplanes many
more than a hundred times, while the
Allies during three years, for various
reasons, were unable to reply, but did
not whine. Now the Germans, it adds,
after only few months of lombard
ment of their open towns are crying
"Kamerad!"
