Attorney Carl Wlmberly, left this morning tor Glendale, where he spent the day trying the case ot Ja cob Cllne vs. McNabb, a suit involv ing a lease on land. At a previous trial the Jury disagreed neceBslating another hearing. The case was heard in Justice Pickett's court. Definite plans have been made by Baptists for the division of the 6, 000,000 Victory Campaign fund they must raiBe March 23 to 80, for the six general boards of the denomina tion. Part of the money is to go to foreign missions, part to home mis sions, part to the American Baptist Publication society, part to the min isters and missionaries benefit board, part to the board' of education and part to the Baptist war commission. By far the largest amount of the quota has been allotted to the work in the foreign field. They are to se-j cure $2, 334,065. The home mission! department has been allotted $1,414,- 923; the publication society, $304, 464: the ministers and missionaries benefit board, (869,000; the board of education, $200,000; and the Bap tist war commission, $100,000. In this drive the church does not intend that the financial burden of this great movement shall be born equally by rich and poor. Acord- ing to the national quotas announced the apportionment per member in wealthy churches throughout the na tion is far greater per member than the apportionment per member in the smaller churches. The plan of the drive 1b to raise one-third of the $6,000,000 through special gifts from wealthy persons. Baptists are also counting on $611,125 interest money incurred from legacies,' In terest on funds and matured annui ties. This leaves about three and a half million dollars to be raised by the members of the church. Oregon's quota in this campaign is $65,000 out of which $35,000 must be secured through special gifts. The larger churches throughout the state wilt have to wake up if they want to be in the race, according to the statement of Harley K. Kallgren, state director. Twenty-nine of the smaller churches have already met their allotments and are now busy ing themselves trying to raise the special gifts needed to fill out the total quota. Oregon was first In the Liberty loan and other patriotic movements, so Baptists say she must be first in their campaign for victory.

AUIO DRIVER HITS AT. We have heard of people being knocked silly, but when it comes to a locomotive camouflaging Itself as a tin Lizzie, we pass. Several people, congregated at the depot on the ar rival of train number 17, last night, thought they ihad been suddenly transported in to the balmy state of California,-when they saw the here tofore, dignified locomotive come careening down the track, with the windshield and various other appur tenances of the car that made walk ing a pleasure, dangling from pro truding sections of its anatomy and it was late too. All this happen ed because some Eugene auto driver attentpted to beat the passenger train at the Washington Street crossing in the Willamette Valley city, yesterday evening, and failing in his attempt, tried to push the engine oft the track first with his car and then with his head. The auto struck the engine squarely, the driver being thrown head first out of his machine.

COMMITTEE APPOINTED Tentative Plans Will Be Formed and , Presented to Meeting of Farmers, lJuslnosa Men and Grangers City Hall Saturday afternoon '- "Successful business, management Is the keynote of the cannery quest Ion",' said Mr. W. C. Harding, yes terday evening at a meeting ot local business men, at the city ami to con sider the question ot whether or not such an establishment can be pro cured for this community. "It thy right man can be secured, a man in whom the growers can put their trust and confidence there will be no dif ficulty , in securing ' the necessary capital. This county Is wealthy, we have sufficient funds to obtain a first class cannery and we will obtain It whenever we can assure and prove to the farmers that their Investment is safe. We need a cannery. We must have it- and I believe we will have It, but co-operative cannery can only be successfully conducted by conservative, careful and shrewd management. 1 have been talking cannery for ten years and I am st'll optimistic. : "The time is at hand when the community of Garden Valley, Is go ing to cover this county with apples. This year they have contracted tor over 50,000 boxes in which to puck their crop. They will send out over 100 carloads of apples. - They have no place to store this fruit, they have no loading facilities, they have no cooling or storage plant. We must protect them or they will cut down their trees, for if they fall they will not continue. This is only one pf the many instances which come to us, where our 'growers are demand ing protection which we must furnish them. . "We are endeavoring - to bring strangerB into our community. We are striving to Bettle up this country with people from the east, but yet we do nothing to provide for them. We must first arrange to take care of our products and you may be sure the growers will see that the neces sary materials are on hand." Several other men delivered talks all favoring the establishment of a cannery, on a co-operative baBls. C. J. ' Hurd told of the formation and growth ot the Eugene co-operative cannery, to which he was one of the flrBt subscribers. He recommended starting a plant able to cope with the local situation, but not larger than necessary with a reduction ot all possible overhead expenses. A com mencement on a small scale with an Increase In size as the local situation warranted was his proposal. ', , . Mr. Heinline, . secretary .. of the merchant's Association, Btated that he has received many letters from farmers, asking what they should plant and the immediate action must be taken in order to give growers an idea of what to expect. - He said he had Investigated the cannery which has been conducted here and believes that another business can he estab lished there, but that the prcBent machinery at that place Is being moved to McMinnville. John Throne, stated that local banks had furnished practically all the capital for the recent cannery, doing it as patriotic service In com pliance with the food administrations wlsheB, but that these financial In Btltutions do -not desire to continue to do business In that manner. He stated that if a good substantiated business could be established, with a sufficient working capital to act as a - "shock absorber", that the banks here could furnlBh plenty of credit and would be perfectly willing to do so. Wm. Dyslnger, stated that he would be willing to donate one-half of a good cannery site and would agrao to take the payment for the other half In stock In the event that It was planned to construct a building fo- the purpose. Jos, Mlcelli, Bald that If a cannory could- be built for the sum of $10, 000, with a working capital of an equal amount, that he had no nouht but that unlimited credit could be secured to finance such a project. It wns nt iHRt decided that a mopt Ing will be held at the City hall Sat urday afternoon, commencing at 2 o'clock, at which time representa tives from all sections of the county will be present. The matter will ho taken up with the granges and the farmers of all communities will bo asked to be present and present their views. J. O.

'' ;' -- ' - In a circular being mailed out by the county Superintendent Is en closed a letter from State Superin tendent J. A. Churchill, who haB the following to say In regard to the . work of compiling this history.' For something more than a year the schools of Oregon have been doing their full share In promoting the , war ; activities through the schools and in assisting in every way In bringing the war to a successful conclusion. We are now called upon i to assist in recording the history of that war. Miss Cornelia Marvin, Li brarian pt the Oregon State Library, has been appointed' State Historian by the State Council of Defense, and haB asked this department to assist In gathering information through , the county superintendents and . teachers of the state, concerning all service In the navy and army from the respective districts ot the state. There Is now available no such re cord and the 'pride that we should have In our state records ' should prompt ub to Becure and preserve It. . There, are being sent to . the super- ... lhtendent or principal of each sohool in Oregon and to each teacher in a one-room rural school, one-half as many . questlonalres as, there are families In the district. - We are asking that the principal secure the co-operation . of his . teachers, and through the children of the school and such other sources as"he can command, reach every home In the district for' the purpose of ascertain ing whether or not one or more re presentatives In t.hat home served In either the army or navy, whether It was as a voulnteer or through the draft. . No more valuable work in local history haa ever been attempted thru the schools of the state and we hope that each teacher in the state will take pride In doing the task assign ed her. thoroughly and well. These questional will become a perman ent record in the archives ot tho state and will, I ain sure, become more and moro valuable as the years go by." - ' .. -. - - - In commenting . upon the drive which 1b to be undertaken In this county, school superintendent O. C. Brown said, "The greatest war ot all time hits been fought and won, and It now remains to write a history of this war. Because of the effective work done by our schools In the big drives of the past year, which contri buted bo largely toward the success ot our arms, we are again calling on them to make the final drive, which has for Its end the collection of the names and history of those who en listed or who were drafted Into the army or navy. ' The week beginning March 24, has been selected for this work. To each principal, and to each toachor In one-room schools, we are mailing today a circular letter of Instructions from Stato Superintendent J. A. Churchill and a supply of queBtlon alros. ' It will be easy to obtain the record of the boys of the famllios that have permanent rosldence -In the com munlty, but It will be more difficult to get the record of the floating po pulation and we are asking that all such names be sent to the school by anyone who may know of such a case. The Sta,te Historian Is also anx ious to got photos, nowspapor :cllp plnga, and other interesting data re garding the boys in the service." FLUE FIRE CAUSES ALARM. The burning out of a'flue at the I.
