Venes the following Friday.
II was believed today that the

efforts largely on an attempt to
secure by reservation to the trea-

to secure by amendment-provis-
ion that outside powers shall be
called into consultation when any
Pacific controversy touches their
interests. Although, prior to
reaching the vo,tng agreement,
the senate yesterday again re-
fused to amend the treaty to this
effect, proponents of the proposal
still believe a reservation of the
kind might command the support
OF many who opposed amendment
because 1t would involve reopen

feet Of snow on the ground, q
inches falling in "a hours, activ-
tiles at the logging camp Of the
Willamette Valley Lumber COM
pany, located at Black Rock about
90 miles from Dallas have been
indefinitely suspended. This
means laying off a crew of about
10 men.
It will be impossible for the To-
cal mill to get any logs until the
warm rains cause the snow to
melt. The sawmill in Dallas has
been closed down, affecting about
so men. The planning mill and dry
kilns are still being operated with
a crew of As men. Some shipping
from the mill is being done, the
consignmeuts going to California.
The mill has a contract with the
Mountain States Power company
to furnish them with fuel and in
order to carry out their part of
the contract 1t is necessary for
them to have ground slab wood
shipped to this city, most OF this
product coming from Silverton.
The mill reopened March 2 af-
ter a brief shut down in order to
give the plant a complete over

pend operations one week after
