Striking Character OF
Russ Revolution In Seattle

Seattle, Wasby Jan. 20.-Madame
Catherine Breshovskaya, "little grand
mother of the Russian revolution" is
resting in Seattle today, following her
arrival here yesterday aboard the Nip
pom Yusen Kaisha liner Kamo Maru
with more than 70 refugees frocm the
reign.
After a life of hardship and exile,
during which she spent 43 of her 70
years in prison camps and Siberia, Ma
dame Breshovskaya who fought sue
cessfully to overthrow the czar and
monarchial system, is now aligned
against the present ruling class-the
'bolsheviki. The bolsheviki constitute
"a g observation-disclosures in Madame
Breshovskaya's opinion.
The socialists do not approve the
bolsheviki,D she declared.
"The socialists are constructors. The
bolsheviki tear down."
The little grandmother, who has been
in hiding for Is months, to escape the
.''terrorD of Lenine and Trotsky, and
who, all her life has been accustomed
to a severe climate, could scarcely cred

HOUSE SUPPORTS Bill
ON LAND RECLAMATION
Oregon Would Benefit By This
For 1t Has 100000 Acres
OF Bad Land.

The house this morning unanimously
passed a resolution urging that the
senators and representatives of Oregon
in congress support the bill recently
introduced into congress whereby ST.
000, 100000 should be appropriated for
the reclamation and drainage of land
in the several states.
1t was set forth in the memorial
that if such bill was passed that Ore
gon would benefit as it had 100000
acres that would come under the bill
and in addition it woul give work to
thousands of returning sailors and sol
diers
Another memorial to congress was
putting the Oregon legislature on rec
ord as favoring the bill recently intro
dueed in congress for general recon
struction work, this also being in line
of giving employment to returning sail
ors and soldiers.
Still another memorial that passed
unanimously, was urging the Oregon
congressman to support the bill recent
ly introduced into congress giving aid
to men who developed mines for chrome
lore.
A. A. Smith Of Baker and 9. A. Sid
Ter Of Grants Pass spoke in favor Of
the memorial. Mr.. Smith said that the
government had urged men to go out
and develop chrome mines as the ore
was needed in war work and that many
| had done so. Mr.. Sidler said that in
his part of the state, large chrome
mines had been developed but that
since the war there was no market and
that unless these men were given some
relief and some sort of an adjustment,
they would be financially ruined.
Speaker Seymour Jones announc41
that he had received word of the death
of John r.. Stannard of Gold Beach
and member of the house. To draw up
resolutions he appointed Smith, Jones
and Sheldon.

fruit GROWING NAY
GET some PUBLICITY
Weeks OF Marion County To
Propose Bill Providing For
Record OF Fruit Acreage.

To place before the world ahd espec-
tally tho wholesale fruit interestsin the
east just what Oregon is really produc-
ing the way of fruits and berries, a
bill win be introduced by George W.
Weeks of Marion county providing that
county assessors secure s record of
acreage.
1t is well known that with so many
California packing houses in the state,
that Oregon s finest fruits and berries
sre sold in the east under California
labels Or under labels that do not state
where the fruit or berry is grown.
1t is also known among fruit men
that the great fruit interests in the
east have very little conception Of the
immense acreage of fruits and berries
in Oregon for the reason that the Ore
gon product is not advertised Except
ing applcs) and that the east believes
mostly that all the fine Bartlett pears
and the finest prunes come from Cali
fornia.
The bill to be introduced by Mr..
Weeks requires that county assessors be
required to prepare and compile annu-
ally lists showing the acreage of horti-
cultural land in each county devoted to
the growth and culture of grain, fruits
and berries. To also prepare card in,
dex of such lists and to forward them
annually to the secretary of state.
On these lists must be the name of
the owner Or grower, his postoffice adj
dresses and it must be sent to the sec
rotary Of state by June of each year,
beginning this year.
1t is explained that the purpose is to
retain in the office of the secretary of
state and for the use of the public this
information. 1t is also provided in the
bill that all such information be pub
lished in condensed form in the annu-
al Blue Book. The secretary Of state
is to cooperate with the state board
of horticulture.
The bill provides that an emergency
exists as such information is necessary
from food standpoint and that the
| bill become a law as soon as passed
by the house and senate and signed by
the governor
1t is also understood there may be
introduced this session bill providing
that fruits and berries raised in Ore
gon shall 60 out to the world only as
the Oregon product. This would pre-
vent the canning Of Bartlett pears in
Salem and having them shipped to the
east as "choice California pears"

Paul Doney And Ralph
Barnes Return From Waco

Paul Doney and Ralph Barnes, two
members of the s. A. 7. G. who went
from this place to Fort Macarthur,
Waco, Texas, early in November, re-
turned to Salem Saturday night, both
happier and wiser. -This ends trip of
several thousand miles, as they made
their way back to Oregon by INSTALL
ments and by zigzag course which
enabled them to visit a number Of the
larger eastern cities as well as numer-
GUS spots of historic interest.
The two travelled in company as far
as Washington, where they separated.
Among other cities visited were New
Orleans, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Vicks-
burg, Charlestown, Columbus, Washing
ton, Chicago, Minneapolis and st. Paul.
Doney came back to the coast by way
of the Canadian Pacific, while Barnes
headed in at Denver and from there
took the shortest cut home.
The jaunt through the East was not
only of great interest but of the great
est educational value, as they visited
the famous backgrounds of the Civil
War and many Of the famous institu-
tions in the larger eenters. Undoubted-
ly both will relate varigated ''yarns' y
with regard to their experiences in camp
and along the way.
They have nothing complimentary to
say with regard to the climate and
surroundings in Texas, as their station
was surrounded by immensity, monotony
and mud. and the weather was exceed
ingly disagreeable most of the time
The pair ran the gauntlet of influenza
epidemics along the way but their anat
omy had become so toughened by camI
life that they discouraged all germs
and came through unscathed. Needless
to say, both are glad enough to see
the campus of old Willamette again,

WOMEN VOTE lST TINE
IN GERMAN ELECTIONS
Ebert-Scheidenlalln Followers
! Are Believed To Be Win
ners lii Many Places.
BY Frank J. Taylor

Omitted Press staff correspondent q
Berlin, Jan. 1S.--Delayed)--The ma
tional elections in Germany today were
dominated by women, who were voting
and running for office for the first
time in the history of the country. In
practically every district the women
were in a great majority over the men,
There were at least one or two women
running on each ticket in every dis
tfict.
The majority socialists were expect
ed to have things largely their own
way in most parts of the country. The
independent socialists were polling a
big vote in the great industrial centers,
while the Catholic conservative party
was expected to win in the Rhineland,
but elsewhere the Ebert-Scheidemann
followers were believed to be easy win
ners.
Reports were received today of dis
orders in some sections Of Berlin and
in Leipzig and Dusseldorf, but in most
instances the elections appear to have
been run off with much less trouble
than had been anticipated.
More than so per cent of the quail
fled voters in Berlin were believed to
have taken advantage Of their newly
acquired right of equal franchise.
Whole families, sometimes including a
dozen members, appeared in the long
lines before the polling places, especial
ly in the northern sections.
In view of the fact that dispatches
from Copenhagen report serious fight
ing in Berlin late yesterday and last
night, resulting from attempts by the
Spartaeans to destroy ballot boxes, It
is apparent that Taylor's 5 story either
was filed before the disorders became
general or that. his dispatch was heav-
lily censored.
