Milan, Jan president Wilson
journeyed from Rome to Milan yes
terday, stopping at Genoa en- route.
There he was greeted by hundreds
OF thousands of the common people.
who acclaimed him in the most ex-
travasant terms, sought to be near
enough to touch him and even at
tempted to kiss his hand or clothing
as lie passed through the dense
crowds.
Mr., Wilson's visit Of three hours
in Genoa was marred by a tropical
downpour of rain which drenched
the President and all his party. The
stl Gets ran rivers and a gale snapped
the tagstaffs. Nevertheless, the Pres
ident carried out his full program,
Including \lsits to the monuments
OF Colunlbubs and Mazzini and to the
city hall, whtrc he was given re-
ceptIon.
Whatever arrangements might
have been made to receive the Pres
ident were dissolved on his arrival,
with the city being lashed by the
binding rain squalls. All the mem
bcrs of the t.ficial party except Mr..
Wilson ard his wife were compelled
to scramble for themselves through
the rroop-.Ired streets and make tile
best way possible back to the Off
cial tram.
The secret service men, seeking TO
protect the President, rejected motor
cars and ca rIages which were pro-
vided by the local committee, but
somehow rtanaged to get through
1,a -,
without lnishap.
Before leaving Genoa, President
Wilson laid a wreath at the base of
the statue of Columbus and, stand
ing bareheaded in the driving rain,
made IL short address.
Columbus, he said, did a service
for the world in discovering America
and now II was Americas pleasure
and pride to show it was IN he serv-
ice OF mankind.
Being free" said the President,
America desires to show others
how they may also share in the free
dom of the worIu."
The demonstration in Milan was
of the same character as that in
Geona but proportionately greater
in view of Mi ans greater size. 1t
seemed as if all the inhabitants and
the people of the surrounding coun-
tryside had jammed themselves into
the squares and streets along the line
of march. The thoroughfares were
so choked with humanity that the
Presidents motor car crawled
through with the greatest difficulty.
Roofs Hold Crowds
The balconies, the roofs and every
vantage point were black with peo-
pie, and the route had been plaster
ed with posters and pictures of
President Wilson together with quo
tations from his speeches which
could be particularly applied to
1taly's position.
The President called at the City
Hall. where the freedom of the CITY
was bestowed upon him. He then
proceeded to the royal palace where
he received delegations going thence
to La Scala. where he dined and
where 1t was hoped he would at
tend the opera. While he was at the
palace the great square before the
cathedral was so jammed that the
cathedral had to be closed. The
American secret service men de-
clared they had never taken anv
President through such demonstra-
tive scenes or such great crowds
While the throngs were orderly, thew
seemed simply wild with enthusiasm
and determined to crowd near to the
President. The tour of the city by the
presidential party was to the accom-

NATION WIDE APPROVAL OF
SECRETARY LANES SOL
DIER-SETTLEMENT PLAN

The forthcoming May issue o.
THE Reclamation Record, published by
the U. S, Reclamation Service of the
Department of the Interior, contains
an article showing the nationwide
interest in and approval Of Secre-
tary Lanes plan to provide work and
homes in soldier settlements on re-
claimed land for our returned SOL
diers, sailors, and marinees. It is
stated that already over $4,000 in
quiries regarding the plan have been
received from these men and that
additional inquiries are coming in
at the rate of five or six hundred a
day. Many Of the State legislatures
have enacted soldier-settlement leg
lslation in anticipation of similar ac-
tion by Congress at the coming spe-
cial session. In many of the states
the Governors have appointed spe-
cial committees to work in coopera-
tion with the Federal Government in
connection with soldier-settlemen
plans.
The American Federation of Labor
has endorsed the plan in its recon-
struction program, and the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution ap-
proved the plan by yformal resolu-
ton at their recent convention.
Scores of chambers of commerce,
boards of trade, and similar organi-
cations, as we'll as hundreds OF
newspapers have placed the stamp
of their approval on the plan.
The last page of the Record is in
the form of a poster, with the cap
tion Attention! Soldiers Sailors,
Marines!" which describes the plan
and requests every man interested
to write to the Department stating
his name, age, occupation before en-
listment, whether, he has had pre-
vious experience in farming, what |
kind of farming he would like to
take up, and where he would be will.
ing to work, whether in his own or
in some other state.
Individuals receiving this copy of
the Record are requested to tear off |
the back page poster and post 1t in a
conspicuous place. Secretary Lane
hopes, thru this and other means, to
get in touch with every returned
soldier, sailor, or marine who is in.
terested in his plan to provide work
and farm homes for thesm.

RAILROAD DEFICIT
OVER 800, ,OOO, 900,

Preliminary figures on March earn
ings of all railroads controlled by the
United States railroad administra-
tion indicate earnings in round fig
ures Of $10,000,0O0. For the first
three months OF 1919 the earnings
will, in round figures, aggregate $42,-
600, 900 as against requirements to
pay the standard return of $780,
100000. Allowing for final adjust
ments when all detail figures are in
for the first quarter there is in sight
positive deficit of $125, 900, 900 for
this period as between the real earn
ings and the amount guaranteed to
the owners of the various properties.
Half billion dollars deficit for
the year, as thus indicated, will un-
doubtedly be favorably affected by
the better traffic conditions which
always prevail in the second six
months of the year, yet 1t is i'm
possible to expect too much from i'm
proved traffic conditions during the
last half of 1919. Allowing proper
offset for improvement in business
there will be deficit for the year
of from $35O,OOO,OOO to $4OO, ,OOO,- :
600 unless modern miracle is per-
formed.
With congress soon to assemble in
another effort to determine the fate
of the railroads there is increasing
Indications that another increase in
freight rates is inevitable. Those
most familiar with traffic conditions
and with the financial requirements
of the railroads approximate this in
crease at from Is to 25 per cent over
and above the present rates.

ASHLAND AGAIN GOES
OVER THE TOT

Again Ashland has oversubscribed
TO the Victory loan, as it did to all
other war demands. Her record is
100 per cent and flawless. And all
of that without the necessity OF some
citizens spending valuable time and
ENERGY in soliciting subscriptions
from store to store and house to
house. Ashland people came thru
voluntarily. II was a good invest
ment proposition, citizens had the
money to invest, many Of them, and
all of them has resolutely determined
10 see the job thru, as our boys in
France stuck to the last ditch.
Ashland is to be congratulated on
her record. The local committee re-
lied entirely on newspaper advertis-
ing and four minute men for the re-
suits. They were not disappointed.

acy OF the reconstruction measures
enacted by the Legislature, and re
commended their adoption by tn
citizens at the polls June 3.
The legislature which recently ad
1ourned was looking ahead when 4
formulated a reconstruction pro
gram and referred 1t I,
the people Of the state for thei
approval on June 3, according Il
Gov. Olcott. This was the first steI
toward preparedness for peace. Tn,
second step will be taken when tht
voters of Oregon approve the program
offered.
This program provides for the is
suance of $5,OO0,0 900 OF bonds, the
proceeds of which are to be expend-
ed for the construction of public
buildings, for land settlement for
soldiers and sailors, and for co-opera-
tion with the government in the con-
struction of irrigation, drainage, log
ged-off land or other improvement
projects.
1t is clearly stated in the recon
struction bill that the state board OF
control shall be guided by the un-
employment situation In determin-
ing whether any of the bonds, and
how much, shall be sold and the
money thus obtained expended on
construction work. Only enough pub
lie work is to be undertaken to re-
lieve the unemployment. This point
should be made clear as the people
of the state are entitled to know that
the S., 200, 100000 If authorized,
will not be speent unless there is ne
ressity for 1t.
The reconstruction measure places
the responsibility for the issuance OF
the bonds and the disbursement of
the funds in the hands OF the state
board Of control. The bill provides
that 100000 of the bonds may be
issued for the construction OF public
buildings, with the exception of
$647,500, which is to be used for
promoting land settlement under the
soldiers and sailors land settlement
act.
The remaining $4,000, 900 of bonds
may be issued by the state board of
control for use in the reclamation of
lands in this state by means of irri-
cation, drainage or other improve
ments, but only on condition that the
federal government will cooperate
by putting up dollar for dollar with
the state.
If the unemployment situation
should become acute and the board
of control should feel Justified in
out the entire building pro-
gram provided for in the act, the
money would be apportioned as fol-
lows.
100000 for a new state peniten-
tiary at Saleem.
$350,000 for a state reconstruc-
tion hospital to be erected on the
of the University of Oregon
school at Portland.

DEMAND FOR HOUSES GROWING
Real Estate Men Say There Is Short.
age of Small Modern Homes.

The demand for houses in Columbia
is higher than it has been for several
years, say real estate men. This is
because there are new people coming
to Columbia, the soldiers are return
ing, and lumber and labor prices are
so high that building is discouraged.
Three are plenty of large houses,
of from ten to fourteen rooms, for
rent. The demand for these can be
met. But there is a great shortage
in small houses of seven or eight
rooms. Families desiring these de-
mand that they be well located, thor
oughly modern throughout, with hard
wood floors and sleeping porches.
One real estate man says that Co
lumbia will have to build more of
these modern small houses, or many
families who come here will not locate
permanently.
