Prnistk WiKons Address. LONDON, Feb. '.Mi. The news papers here generally are unstintini: in their praise of President Wilson's speech in Hoston. The Tost is the only newspaper which attempted to throw cold water on the address. We tried, not with complete suc cess, to blow the foam on Hie divine beaker of elouence with which Wil son refreshed the dry city of Bos ton.' said the 1'ost. The London Dnily News said: "I'verv pacifist interest in Kurope is witli Wilson in his appeal to his peo ple. We do not think this appeal will be in vain." Th" Mail: "Wilson appealed to the bnt instincts of his country men. The alternative of the I'tifted State- returning to its isolation is unthink'iMe." Villi T.rgnlize Strikes. S. Li:l. Feb. tMl.

Kvans. drawn to hear the Smith Uiver road appeal case in the Cir cuit Court yesterday, after just 20 minutes of deliberation late last livening brought in a verdict favor ing the county of Douglas, defend ant in the action brought by inter ested parties asking damages for a certain road the county had planned to make a permanent highway. It seems that the road in tjuestion was surveyed and adopted in 1870, but since that time, was improved but little. The county desired to construct a suitable highway from the Sulphur Springs post office thru J tbe properties of It. M. Dailey and Frnest Koepke, a distance of Hoveral , miles. The men filed claims for damages with the court, and after t he road viewers had made an un favorable report in the matter, the , county officials refused to allow the 'damages prayed for, and as a conse-! (inence an appeal was made, const!-; tilting the sull, which was decided against the plaintiffs yeMerday. 'NEXT LYCEUM ATTRAC ; HON IS COMING EARLY I NEXT MOMI ; fINE MUSIC ' The Lyceum Course began Its sea son here last week with so little noise and advertisement that too few of our ctii.eiis realized that H was here, lu tact, too few realize it yet, not only for the good of the town, but for their own proltt. In all the grim months uf the war the Govern ment realized lhat the morale of the people at home as well as that of , the men in the lighting Hues, must 1 be kept up, and gave large encour atxenieni to evi ry movement for re viving the spirits of the folks at home. Kvery encouragement was given to the Chatauuua and Lyceum courses. In Canada the government even went so far as to subsidize them. There needed to be a break in the somber chain of events that came crowding in with each day. and the biea k must be one that would bring a relaxat Ion of the taut nerve-, even a laugh to the lips, and loae ili- people better able to stand the terrific strain put upin them. It should, therefore, lie counted a prh Urge to advance the interests ol such an institution, not only by ; patronizing il ouixdvs but by aid ing in bringing its benefits within the reach of as larne a constituency as possible. Tbe people ol IJosebure seem not to realize this, for the com mitiee responsible for the selling of t jekets found a disposition in some places to look upon it as a charity. 1 l;eal!y it is an investment that will return to the town in better citizen ship, to every bu si ii( ss man In a beilei class of trade.' to every citi zen in better neighbors. It is a well known fact that the cities that ; patronized most largely these eduea- tional and character-building hist!-' I ut ions are the most progressive in all the state, most generous and pub-; lie spirited. ! The .iental Culture Club in un dertaking to give to lloseburg these advantages, is performing a pu I die service for w hich it should receive tbe thanks and patronage uf the en-, tiie cii izensbip.

The creation of u national workers' soviet as a lower legislative branch of tho Ger man government Is favored by President Kbert us the only solution of the political and economic situa tion. President Kbert believes the Soviets cannot be crushed and would not lie pacified until they are form ally recognized and given govern mental responsibility. He would have the proponed natlonul soviet deal with all industrial uueetions, but without power to veto measures passed by the lieichstag. Chancellor Seheidemann and others deny the necessity for recojrnizing the Soviets, hoping they will disappear. Many strong leaders, however, side with Kbert. A decision is expected short ly.

How ever, there was more than the monthly average of rainfall during January, while February with a monthly average of 4.rfi inches at this station, had recorded up to a o'clock this morning 7.2 inches, entirely wiping out the seasonal de flciencv ami recording an excess of one-half Inch. Present indications are that the rainfall is likely to con tinue for a couple of days lonirer be fore fair weather may be reasonably expected. The present February shows the heaviest rainfall here dur ing any February since 1 s ! 1 . when 1 1 ',2 inches were recorded. MANY WITNTSSI S. I iititi i: vs. ii; iama;i: srrr. The suit for damages.

I.owery. a well known Southern Pacific iireman'who makes his home in this city, was quite se verely injured tit about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon at Grants Fuss while In tho uct of "taking water" ut that place. It seems that Mr. Fowery was standing on the tank of the engine attached to train No. 53, and was pulling on the rope which opens the water outlet, when it broke, causing Mr. Lowery to lose his balance and he fell to tho hard ground below, striking on his shoulder with suffi cient force as to render him uncon scious for several minutes. Other members of the train crew rushed to his aid and after some time the Injured man recovered sufficiently to resume his run to Ashland, where It was discovered that his wrist was also badly injured. Mr. Lowery was brought to this city and It will prob ably be some time before lie can again go about his duties as before. EMPLOYMENT OFFICES OF U. S. LABOR DEPT.

One-fourth of the auto license fee will be turned back to the county (nun which the motor vehicle regia- ered unci there will be no property tax on automobiles. These are the three features of the bill which consumed a solid day it ueoute, during which time 76 billa in third reading and a special order n the reconstruction program had to take a back seat. "So wearied were the members that thev -anihled, seeking diversion In the Senate, where a debate was on over the boxing bill, or wandering up Hairs where some philanthropist van serving Ice cream to all coiners. So bored were renresentatlvea hat when one of the vital sections ivas uniler consideration there were inly J8 voting, and Instead of the ountles receiving one-fourth of the 'ocs, they would have reeolvcd one- 'hlrd, a difference of about J100,- 10(1. but lor Ihe casual return to Ihe hiiinhi'i' uf three members, who 'iiused Ihe iidonllon of the motion to Tlve (be counties one-uuurtor, by a 'ote of 20 to 18. The vital purls of the Oregon mo or vehicle law were written on the 'loor while Ihe House was In com ulltoe of Ihe whole.

A prolonged discussion raged over he original schedule submitted by h ii i r i ii n n Dennis, of the roads and ilgliways committee. The scale flnal- 'y inlo.teii trimmed all down the line 'rum $4 tn $15. In the original iciiedule many curs now paying $10 i year were shot up to $3.- or $40. 't was made clear that the people of lie state expected to pay double the iresent tux to lake care of the $10,- OilO, OHO road bond program, but that 'here would be a terrible outcry If he fees were tilled as high as the ommlltee recommended. Chairman Dennis had figures to ibow the cost of maintaining hard uirfuce roads per year and the de- ir.'cliitlon of the same, and that here the 4 1,000 miles of other oiiils In Oregon which must be arcd fur. The figures of the coni lilltee would have yielded, on the rliMnal scale, $lil0.000, which was to go hack to the counties and which Mr. Ilfimin explained would enable be fl ot ii 1 1 on or another $10,000,000 bonds for roads in counties. In Ihe hist amilyuls the schedule if Ties was reduced to what Is ap proximately double the present li--ense and Instead of rolling up a big nun for the benefit of counties by giving Ilie in one-third, Ihe IIouso vot.-il that one-fourth was enough. Intimates show that the counties will receive about $300,000. This money Is In lieu of the property tux which has yielded about $285,000 a veitr.
