You need to feel highly compli-

pose the biggest thing that can be
said now is we have lost our Gen
eral. General Martin, formerly of
Grant, comes to us. Don't know
where our former General goes
1t is though, in well informed cir

written in form of letters a succinct
history of my impressions. When

publish, in series. those letters in
your paper and then put them in
book form as permanent me-
meuto Of the war Many requests
for such publication from my
pen are already in, What do you
think Of the idea?
When the history of the great
war is written. one of the most
gratifying facts viii be that the
Negro fired the last shot. The
troops to approach nearest to
Metz. that impregnahle German
fortress. We're black soldiers Of the
92nd Division. When ON the mem
orahle llth OF November the ella
rion sounded to cease firing the
fighting 365th was charging upon
an objective like madmen. Ma
chine gun nests, heavy artillery
fire or even deadly gas furnished
no barrier to these heroes. They
were not led by white men either.
The BattalionS with perhaps a
single exception were command
ed by black Captains After the
armiStice. the hungry Germans
rushed over to or hoyS and made
friends with those who but few
moments ago We're their enemies.
May | say in closing that no
men or group have worked hard
err and deserved more than orr
colored officers Although the
promotions among the fighting
forces could probably be counted
on one hand with fingers to spare
we have striven nevertheless. to

MILLS ASK
FOR BETTER SERVICE

Another appeal has been made to the
public service commission by the lum-
Der mills of Baker for relief from the
car shortage which is demoralizing their
business. In a telegram received by
the commission, the millmen say they
are unable to get 25 per cent of the
cars needed to take care of their
orders and that they have been com
PEELED tc refuse more government ord
ers because they cannot get cars to fill
the government orders they now have.
This telegram. which is signed by the
Baker White Pine Lumber Company,
Oregon Lumber Company, Stoddard
Lumber Company and W. II. Eccles
Lumber Company, says:
" National Lumber Manufacturers
Association report No. 70, of February
IA, covering period of cut and ship
ments from January 10 to February 8,
inclusive, shows cut of 632,000,0 900,
shipped 637 100000 feet, which is above
normal
"During the same period Baker mills
received less than 25 per cent of their
car requirements, and for several days
have not loaded a single car, and there
is nothing in sight. The lines are OPP
en- ready for business, but have no
equipment. During the past week we
have turned Down two orders, amount
ing to 100000 feet for government
purposes because we cannot secure cars
to ship government orders we have on
hand.
"Under normal conditions we would
have been glad to fill the government
requirements. We think cars should
be diverted from other districts to this
district, giving us an equal distribution
of cars with other districts We have
made several appeals heretofore with
out result and it does no good to refer
the matter to the managers of the rail-
roads in the west. We demand justice,
nothing more. Win you try and secure

RED CROSS RECEIVES
new INDUSTRIES
.WiIIette Chapter Tells Work
ers What Supplies Are Most
Wanted by Army


In the first place we wish to state
that it is not necessary to launder
hospital garments and supplies before
shipping provided articles are clean.
Press and fold neatly, tying in pack
ages Of five for large garments and
ten for small articles marking each
package, for instance $40 Handker-
chiefs" or "5 Bathrobes."
l. In some cases pajamas have been
received without pockets or Red Cross
emblems Please see that. every suit
of pajamas has at least one pocket on
the jacket also a Red Cross emblem.
2. Some pajamas have been received
which have been made without flies
on the drawers, the buttonholes being
made through the garment. Please sec
to it that all pajama drawers are made
with flies. In this connection we wish
to add that many of these garments are
made with Che opening fourteen inches
long. This is not necessary and in fact
it is preferable to have the opening
much smaller.
q 8. Pajamas have also been received
without tape in the Wristbands. You
can readily see that these garments
cannot possibly be sent to France in
this unfinished condition and our in
spectors cannot possibly spare the time
from their other work to finish these
articles. It must be done, however, and
we ask you to help us by seeing that
all of these details are carefully at
tended to before letting the goods
leave your chapter.
4. It is reported that some of the
chapters are still making garments
over the old Red Cross patterns. Please
be sure that you are using the latest
official American Red Cross patterns
for all hospital garments which were
issued about September 1st, 1917
s. Please do not put buttons on with
tape Sew them on with good heavy
thread.
g. Please always fold the drawers of
the pajamas inside the coat.
7. Hospital bed shirts are being sent
in with standing collars on them.
Please see that all garments of this
kind are made according to the latest
pattern which calls for a round yoke
without collar
8. Many inquiries have been made
regarding the proper way to put the
tapes on the taped bed shirt, or help
less case shirt as it is sometimes call
ed. Please stitch the tapes on the open
sleeves just the same as you have been
asked to put it on the opening in the
back. The tape should be stitched to
the edge of the opening on one side on
ly. This prevents gaping of the sleeve
when tied and when the shirt is re-
versed the tapes adjust themselves
making a very satisfactory fastening.
9. We have been asked to place pock-
cts on the inside as well as the outside
of the tapped bed shirt so that pock-
ct would be available if the garment
were reversed Some of these taped bed
shirts have been received with the
two pockets on the same side, equi-dis-
tant from the center. This is not cor
rect. One pocket must be on the inside
and the other on the outside of the
garment

Attorney General Brown will file to-
morrow in the supreme court a brief
opposing the motion to dismiss the ap,
peal taken by the Portland Irrigation
company in the Chewaucan river water
case.
The appeal was taken by the irriga-
tion company, which had undertaken
the development of the Paisley irriga-
tion project, from a decree of Judge
Bernard DAILY of Lake county awarding
all the water in the stream
to the Chewaucan Land & Cattle com
pany and thus shutting out the irri-
cation project.
Attorneys for the cattle company
have filed a motion to have the appeal
dismissed on the grounds that some of
the land owners under the stream were
not served with notice in the case.
Attorney General Brown will con-
tend that these land owners are not in
terested parties as their rights are not
involved, and that they were satisfied
with the findings and decree of the
state water board which Judge Daily
overruled when he made his decree.
He argues that the court does not have
jurisdiction in this case over the land
owners mentioned.

sion, and Adams do not abide in har-
mony at commission meetings and it is
known that Benson has declared that
the commission is not big enough for
both of them, so if Adams should be

will resign.
Assuming that Adams will not be re-
