Causes Second Fire

albany, Oregon, June 1.--Some
innocent feathered offender came
near to being responsible for the
destruction OF the residence of

already been extinguished there.
At 2 o'clock fire removed practi-
cally all of the roof from the
building. One corner of the
superstructure remained intact.
There, in the caves, the home of
a bird had been built, and there
the fire demon took refuge.
AT o'clock In the afternoon a
neighbor of Mr.. Richards noticed
smoke still coming from the cor
ner of the Richards home. He
called attention to the fact and
the fire department was again
summoned. THE stream from a.
Pyrene extinguisher was directed
against the nest and danger took
flight.

Cent Notes Under
written In N. 7.

New York. Feb. 9.-Plans for fin
ancing the sale for export purposes of
4OOO0O,O00 Of the 6OO,O0O.OOO pounds
of copper was made public Wednesday
night with the announcement that the
product was pledged as security for
SiO,OOO.0OO, s per cent notes of the
Copper Export association to be offer
ed for public sale by a banking syndi-
cate headed by the National City Co.,
and the Guaranty Trust Co., of New
York
This is said to be the first large pub
lie loan made in this country to be Sc
cured specifically by a certain amount
of an essential commodity, as well as
the first big movement by American
companies to take advantage of the
opportunities offered under the Edge
export trade act to invite public par
ticipation in financing Of foreign
trade.
The heavy accumulation Of surplus
copper was the result of the sudden
ending OF the war and the inability Of
European customers to take their US
ual requirements. The present rate of
production is said to be below the de-
liveries of copper in 1919 and 1920,
making a further heavy accumulation
improbable.
The maturities Of the obligations is
sued against this copper will give am
pie time. according to John D. Ryan,
president of the association, ito market
this amount in an orderly way in the
export trade and relieve the producers
of the financial burden of carrying it
and repressing it for export sale The
notes to be issued are being offered
at prices to WELD from & to 8 "a nor
cent.
In the removal Of this 10000, 900
pounds Of Surplus copper from the
market. Mr.. Ryan said, "a very i'm
portant step is being taken toward
stabllizing the copper metal both here
and abroad. The current price of
about IL cents a pound compares with
an average market price for refined
copper Of 16A cents over the last 20
years with low record price during

AMY POWER IS
URGE Of SENATE.
Suspension of Construc-
ton Not Sound, Con
sensus of Solons.
History Teaches Us Of
Folly of Unarming, Is
Declaration.

Washington, Feb. 9.-An American
navy "at least equal to that of any
other power" is advocated in a report
Of the senate naval committee flied
Wednesday in the senate.
The committee replying to the Borah
resolution said sit is not practical and
is not a sound policy to suspend naval
construction for period of six months
nor at all 1t urged completion Of
the great 1916 naval program except
that two huge naval aircraft carriers be
built in place of twelve destroycrs and
six submarines which have been au-
thorized, but not yet contracted for.
Capital Ships Defended.
Capital ships remain the principal
units of sea power, the committee said,
adding that submarines and aircraft
were as yet only auxiliary forces.
The committee report expressed
desire that an agreement for limitation
Of naval armament might be reached
among the nations, but said that until
some such arrangement were made the
United States should continue its build
ing program.
"1n view of the Importance of sea
power to the United States," the COM
mittee informed the senate, "and the
fact that without it, we would be at
the mercy Of other nations, it is the
opinion of your committee that this
should maintain navy at least
equal to that of any other power. The
lessons of history teach US with inds-
putable truth that we cannot afford to
depend for the maintenance Of our
rights and the defense of the lives and
commerce of our citizens upon the
mercy, generosity or good will of other
powers with rival or conflicting inter-
ests and ambitions"
Preparedness, Watchword.
ut is the opinion of this committee"
The report continued, that the United
States should have under its control a
force to protect and preserve
Goth it's material possessions, the poll
lies it has established, the lives and
rights of its citizens and the principles
Upon which its government is founded
The report expressed approval and
