Flood Damage
Heavy In Towns
Along YalnElill

Sheridan, Or, Nov. 22.-Sheri-
dan was in total darkness the
past two nights, several bridges
have been damaged and all stores
along the principal street have
been closed because of flood con-
ditions. Telegraph wires are
down. Owners of the Is main
stores along Bridge street were all
forced to vacate and much dam
age to stocks is reported.
Several stores along Main street
were carried away by the flood.
Some residences and barns have
also been badly damaged. The
bridge connecting the nor@ and
south parts of town across the
Yamhi1l is being repaired and Is
open to traffic. Two small high
way bridges spanning feeders of
the Yamhill river between Sheri-
dan and Willamina were washed
away. No trains are running pc
tween these two towns. The South
ern Pacific railroad bridge west
of Sheridan has been damaged by
the storm.
Reports from Willamina bring
reports that that town is under
water in many places and that
residents in the western part OF
town have been forced to move or
take to boats.
1t has not been possible so far
to estimate the damage here. The
damage to the electric light plant
alone is several thousand dollars
The loganberry and fruit indus
try on the river bottom land has

NAVY CUT
PLAN not
FINISHED
Japan and Britain
See Need for Revis-
ion of Replacement
Proposal

Washington, Nov. 22.-(By AS
sociated Press. Naval experts
of the three major powers still
were reviewing today the highly
technical questions connected
with the American proposals for
immediate fleet reduction and a
ten year naval holiday. ThesBrit-
ish and Japanese officers appear
to have found some details of the
plan which will require further
treatment before final acceptance
The British have pointed out
the effect on the fleets II the full
measure of Secretary Hughes
plan were carried into execution.
The plan proposes cessation OF
building for ten years; fixing OF
the life of a battleship at 20
years; replacement building to be-
gin seventeen years after the ship
to be replaced was completed
thus allowing three years Tor CON
struction of the new ship.
The 20 year life rule alone is a
novel one for other naVies. Japan
now uses eight years as the life
of capital ships beginning re-
placement within that period al
ter a vessel is constructed. She
has not as yet worked out this
eight year cycle however, expect
ing with her present building
program to attain it in 1928
Great Britain has no replacement

FAR EAST
PROBLEMS
REVIEWED
Rapid Progress Made
by Conference Due to
Directness of Pro-
ceedure Plans

Washington, Nov. 22,-1(By AS
sociated Press. Opinions have
been exchanged among the arms
delegates with such unprecedent-
ed directness that with the con-
ference only ten days old some of
the experienced diplomats here be-
lieve they can see, almost with
precision, what it will and will not
be possible to accomplish.
Following the example of the
American delegation in laying
down sweeping naval reduction
proposal at the opening session,
the representatives of the other
powers have put aside almost
without exception the diplomatic
indirection that usually befogs
such negotiations.
Agreement Near.
With the respective heads OF the
American, British and japanese
delegations working in direct per-
sonal conference almost daily on
the naval reduction plan there are
indications that an agreement on
all but details is near at hand. In
the same way, the readiness of all
the nations to commit themselves
to general principles relating te
the Far East and the outspoken
objections of Japan to discussing
details of that situation seem to
have quickened conviction that
adoption of set of principles like
the four agreed upon yesterday
will be the outcome of the Far
Eastern end of the negotiations.
In addition, the whole question
of land armament appears to have
been pretty we'll settled by the
frank presentation of the case OF
France delivered in yesterday
plenary session by Premier BRAND
Fertilization Issue.
There remains the importani
question Of Notifications, OF
which there has been no express
sion, but which may come to tht
fore when the delineation of prin-
ciples relating to the Far East
have gone as far as seems posi-
Bile,
Consideration Of the Far East
ern problems was renewed today

further general principles could b,
incorporated in the agreemen

the discussions are following tn,
line Of the "ten points" suggesset
by China, whose delegates are con
fident that in the end most o
these points will have been trans
lated into actual agreements OF

Council Holds
Quiet Meeting;
Budget Adopted

The Salem council, in regular
session last night, listened to the
reading of few ordinance bills,
transacted a comparatively small
amount Of routine business, and
adjourned early. 1t was one of the
quietest meetings held In many
months. Ordinances, providing
for special election on January
IL, at which voters will be given
an opportunity to decide on the
purchase of the city camp grounds
and additional equipment for the
fire department, were read for the
first and second times, At the
councils next session they will
come up for finar reading.
The 1922 budget, giving the
city $199,S7S.79, was formally
adopted at last nights session.
The budget was held within the
six per cent tax limitation.
Thirteen thousand five hundred
dollars is the proposed amount to
be spent for additional fire fight
ing equipment, held by members
of the council to be greatly need
ed by the city. Joseph Baum
gartner, chairman of the commit
tee on fire and water, is among
those who strongly recommend
the purchase of additional equip
ment.
Voters also will make known
whether they wish to buy the
camp grounds and their equip
ment for $1,000. Several leading
organizations of the city have
fostered the move for a munich
paIly owned camp for many
months.
The bill for an ordinance which
would set new license fee for sa-
lem taxi men was tabled at last
nights meeting.
