Lumber Steamer
Helpless With
Broken Rudder

PORTLAND, Ore. Oct. 3d. The

carrier of the Hammond lumber

northwest of Marshfield, Ore, ae-
cording to wireless messages receiy-
ed by the Federal Telegraph com
pany here.

abied craft for a while but cone
tinued on her way to Seattle after

Council Orders
VelU Fire Hose,
Complaint Filed

Two matters engaged the atten-
tion of the city council last night,
all members of the board being pre-
sent under the craftsmanship of
Mayor w. II. Lavayeo. Fire Mar
shaI Ferguson has been clamoring
for additional hose for his depart
ment for some time, and the last
night L. M. Quincy, of the United
States Rubber company, covered the
board table with samples of piping,
describing the features of each, and
warming the council that in the
manufacture of fire hose there was
more opportunity for crookedness
than in anything else he knew.
Taking into consideration that the
best is always the cheapest, and af-
ter considering the various types
before them, the board decided on
500 feet of threc-ply Paragon solid
seamless multiple hose, ut $l.4O per
foot, and 800 feet OF IL inch hose
to be selected by the fire marshal.
The higher priced hose has given
great satisfaction in the past, its
durability being unquestioned, and
the board felt justified in taking no
chances with lower priced ma
terial.
Peddler' s licenses were again dis
cussed, and Incidentally the ques-
ton CT taxing the road distributors
+, in town was dealt with. Bread
| from many different firms in Los
| Angeles is being shipped in here and
/ conveyed to the various stores, eat
:! ing houses and other places direct
| from the railroad depot to the place
! Of delivery.
Many Complaints Made
Ceytain people have been com
planning that with this method the
town gets no taxes OF business
nature nor are the shippers repre-
sented here by any person or reput-
able firm. After going over the
situation il was left to the city at
tolney, j. S. Larew, to look into the
phases of the matter.
The question of raising the price
to the itinerant tradesmen was also
discussed again. Attorney Larew
said he had gore over most Oh
autorities ana he hadn't arrived
at q decision as TO whether ii. was
legal or not to raise a business tax
on man coming in from outside
above that charged local man. He
asked for more time to consult the /
authorities, and the council granted
it.

WILSON,: Great
in WORLD WAR
Momentous Struggle Placed
Him at Zenith of Human
Power and Fame.

Woodrow Wilson, twenty-eighth
president of the United States, was
the human phenomenon of the World
war, the most momentous of all the
wars of history. At fifty-four he was
no more than university professor
and political writer. At siXty-three. he
was in place of fame and power I'M
surpassed in history What place will
history give him?
The great war brought to the front
many men whose names will live in
honor. In the last analysis three men
stand out: Wilson, Lloyd George
Clemenceau. Of these three it was
Wilson who held the worlds eye-Wil-
son, the human phenomenon of the
times until fifty-four no more than a
college president and political writer
and at sixty-three on a pinnacle of
fame and honor and power unsur-
passed if ever attained by any man

between Woodrow Wilson the man and

powerful nation of earth in wealth.

he could not have reached the place
he held without great ability and ex-
traordinary capacity for leadership.
BY virtue of his place he became a
focus of world attention as soon as
the great war began Before the armi-
stice was signed he had become a
great moral leader with the ear Of the
peoples of the world. Only as such
could he have forced upon the allied
world the unofficial acceptance of his
