Transmission of News. .
Installation of automatic print
ers on the Oregon circuit of the
Associated Press 1b being tested
this week preparatory to adoption
of the new system on Monday,
t July 16. Two of the new automa
" tic printers were installed at the
News-Review office Saturday and
tested out Sunday, and the ma
chines will be in operation all

mately $r,uoi) ore factors in the
development of new avenues ot
communication throughout the
earth by the Associated PreHS, the
device first being used by that
press organization for the trans
mission of news. .
These machines, which, briefly
desrlbed, are tpyewriters operat
ed by telegrunph form one central
transmitting station, replace the
Morse operators that have for
many years handled the tele
graph wires of the press associa
tion. The operator at the sending of
fice, uses a special typewriter
which puts verforationB in a nar
row tape. This tape Is then fed In
to the transmitting device, which
through a complicated electrical
system, operates the receiving Je
vices in the various newspaper, of
fices of the circuit. r
The automatic printer has a
carrying capacity of 2,400 words
an hour and will deliver to mem
ber newspapers the greatest vol
ume of state, country and world
news that can be carried over a
single circuit. The automatic
printer used by the Associated
Tress Is one of the most note
worthy developments in the field
of telegraphic transmission in
many years.
Machines Are Raced
The Oregon day circuit supplies

automatic printers are undergo
ing tests this week. The Pacific
Telephone and Telegraph com
pany, whose wires are leased by
the Associated Press for news
transmission, has charge of the
Installation and upkeep of the au
tomatic printers, nnd the local
of the machines in the News-He-view
office. The printers will oe
kept in full operation for a week,
. to test them for mechanical de
fects and to mnke all necessary
adjustments, and the service will
start on Monday, July 16, when all
Morse operators previously em
ployed will either be transferred
t or will seek other employment.
" Increases Wordage '
A single printer circuit will de
liver Into a newspaper office a
minimum of 16,000 words of news
. In eight hurs. It is controlled by
lelectrical Impulses which are set
in motion by an operator at the
distant filing point. The impulses
form letters which become pages
and then reams of news dis
patches. One thousand of these ma
chines are now in operation
throughout the country.

Lupine Weed
Taking Toll of
Oregon Cattle
(Auoolated Pren I-eawNl 'rt
SALEM, July 9. Lupine weed,
commonly called wild peu, is prob
ably responsible for the death of
a number of cattle in the north
central part of eastern Oregon,
Dr. W. H. Lytle, state veterin
arian, said today. In a few In
stances horses are believed to
have been affected.
One owner lost about 40 head of
fat cuttle and several other own
ers have had losses of from 2 to
7 head.
Effective tracing of the poison
Is difficult for the reason that the
symptoms nppour as late as 12 to
lfi days after the plant has been
eaten.
"The only advice that can be
given at the present time," said
Dr. Lytle, "is for all stockmen
who are experiencing losses In
cattle and horses to take their ani
mals off the range pasture imme
diately and place them on green
feed or alfalfa hay. Alfalfa hay is
known to be a mild antidote for
lupine poisoning.'
The state veterinarian Is work
ing to stamp out the disease.

SANTIAGO, Chile, July 9. Of
some three hundred persons who
were aboard the army transport
Am gam os only four were alive to
day to tell how the vessel had
pounded to pieces on the rocks.
The catastrophe which claimed up
wards of 300 lives occurred at
Puntu Chlmpel, near the south
Chilean coast town of Lebu, Fri
day night.
The captain unable io avert dis
aster, committed suicide on the
bridge. Eighty bodies were found
jn the beach near Coronel but the
exact number who perished prob
ably will never be known since af
ter leaving Puntu Arenas with 291
persons aboard the vessel made
several stops enroute picking up
additional passengers.
Aid Calls In Vain. t
The ship had been loading ma
terial for the Chilean navy in the
Gulf of Arauco when a storm broke
late In the afternoon. The vessel
left the bay to ride It out. For
several hours she struggled against
wind nnd wave and was badly bat
tered. The heavy seas smashed
tho rudder. The ship started to
drift toward the breakers. Fran
tic appeals for help were sent out.
None came. At 10 p, tn., the ves
sel crashed on the rocks about 300
ynrds from the. short.
Frantic nttempts to launch life
boats were made. They capsized
as soon as they were lowered Into
the tremendous seas. Their human
freight was tossed on tht rocks by
the breakers or drawn back Into
the angry sea.
Captain Dies at Post.
Men, women and children per
ished in the sens while others re
mained huddled on the deck cry
"ng plteously and In vain for help.
Through the roar of the storm, the
3hr blasts of the ship's whistle
sounded continuously, calling for
lid. Above the bedlam the sharp
report of Commander Sunrez pis
tol rang nut and he fell dead nt his
post on the bridge.
The passengers aboard the Am
gamos Included laborers nnd their
'"in Hies enroute to the nitrate
fields In the north. It Is under
stood that several government of
ficials and their families were
also aboard the vessel. When

Building to Be Rushed
Early Completion,
Work was started today on the
construction of the now court
house, the contracts for which
were let lust week by the county
court. The building permit was se
cured this 'morning by Contractor
Metzger in the sum of 1250,000,
which represents the entire in
vestment for building nnd the ma
jor portion of the equipment.
II. L. Kppstelu, county engineer,
had a crew of men at work. early
this morning making the survey
for the placing of the building
upon the property, tirade slakes
were placed, and the lines Ton the
footings were run this afternoon.
The contract Tor the excnvatlon
has been sub-let lo A. S. Wullvje,
who will be on hand In the morn
Ing with his outfit to start remov
ing dfrt. There will be approxi
mately 1,800 yards of earth to ho
moved. The dirt Is to be haulod
back onto the lot nnd will bo latdr
used in leveling the grounds. It Is
routdily estimated that tho exca
vation will require about three
weeks for completion.
Mr. Metzger, who Is the con
tractor on this job, has just com
pleted two other largo contracts
for the county. He has finished the
paving nt Glendalc, where he
placed n double strip of concrete
pavement, fiiio feet long, to con
nt'ct the city with the highway, nnd
has also finished a stretcii of
pavement l,:i00 feet long and HI
feet wide on the Hoscburg-Melrnse
road.
Mr. Metzger has been In chnwo
of the Melrose paving for three
succfRslve years and has made an
exceptional, record on this con
tract, his concrete work passing a
higher teHt than any other pave
ment laid in the state. In placing
such pavement each contractor nt
Intervals casts small cylinders
from the mix being used for the
pavement. These cylinders are
then tt'Bted by the stale for tht'lr
Btrcnglh, being subjected to
crushing In n powerful machine,
capable of exerting a prenfttire of
B,2o0 pounds per square Inch. Con

state requirements if it will with

AH of the concrete used in the
Melrose paving, however, has
passed tests ranging from 4.500 to
6,000 pounds and In some In

break the cylinders sent in for
test.
For the past three yeart that the
Melrose pavement has been ex

the ht?he?t test of any submitted
to the state.
Due to Mr. Metzgor's skill as a

High Duty In World War.
George Karle Chamberlain reach
ed the peak of his public life when
he wns called upon to liead the
work of tho senate military com
mit too during the trying days of
tho world war, .
' As chairman ot that committee,
which , framed legislation stagger

tion inurod to the pursuing of

ho contended that his own mea

open to debute, was responsible for
the success of the legislation finally

came from an almost forgotten
document In tho war department

Kmory Upton, a civil war com
mender. After taking oh an amount of
work during tho wnr that would

from President Wilson followed
and the controversy was curried, to
Ihe floor of the sennte where the
Oregon senator delivered n throe
hours' speech in support of his po
sition. One of the measures In which
Senator t;hnmberln(ii took pride
was that of revising the Articles of
War. This legislation, be con

Idea of absolute power of Ihe men
at the top" and "liberalised and
democratized" the articles.
The National Defense act of

he was identified, was urged by
him na the basis for the expanded
army in the war.
