Montreal A talk which James Bryce had last week with President Woodrow Wilson revealed the Ameri can executive as friendly in attitude to a marked derree toward Canada, the British ambassador to the United States told the Canadian club in a recent address. This led him to tho belief, he said, that the relations be tween the two countries in the future probably would be more intimate than before.

A parade of striking rubber workers marched to the central police station and threatened for a time to attack the jail and liberate the strikers arrested for rioting in the last few days. Several shots were fired toward Detective George Marti no, who returned the fire. No one was hit by the bullets, and the strikers retreated. Before marching to the police station the crowd sttacked officers on duty at one of the rubber factories. Carl W, Bailey, an I. W. W. organizer of Cleveland, was arrested. ' Publicity Not'Opposed. New Xorlt a library and press room for the use or newspapers is to be one of the features of the New York Stock Exchange in the future. The equipment of the room has begun. The room will be provided with files of financial publications snd statistical matter for newspaper men and others who desire to investigate financial matters. This Innovation, It is said, has grown out of a desire on the part of the governors to refute the idea that the Exchange has been opposed to publicity. Plea Made for Tramps. Dover, Del. The Delaware legisla ture has voted to establish convict camps and work all short-term pris oners on the highways by passing the Anderson bill. Opposition to the con vict labor Idea centralized In a plea for tramps and a protest against their arrest "We need them during the berry and fruit season and cannot spare them," declared Assemblyman Owens, a fruitgrower.

President Joins Club. Wsshfngton, D. C President .W. son baa accepted membership in the University cvufc In Washington, Judge Kelly, of Albany, Sustains Yamhill County Court. Newberg News was received from McMinnville to the effect that Judge Kelly, of Albany, who heard the in junction arguments ,at McMinnville about ten days ago in connection with the building of a bridge across the Willamette at this place, had rendered a decision sustaining the actions of the county court in ordering the work done and appropriating over $40,000 to pay Yamhill county's share of the cost, Marion county having agreed to pay the other half. The steel tubes for the piers were ordered last fall and are now on the ground, and it was the intention of the commissioners to proceed with the erection of the bridge this spring. Much satisfaction is felt over the decision. Flood Damages Orchards. Pendleton The breaking of the feed canal a short distance east of Hermiston Thursday afternoon, dam aged property in that vicinity to ths extent of many thousands of dollars. As soon as possible after the break was discovered, the wster wss turned off at Echo, but not before several or chards were completely ruined, the wster in places being 12 to IS feet deep. Badger holes are ssid to have caused the break. More than a week will be required to repair the canal by government employes. Levy May Be 4.75 Mills. Salem Possibility of the state tax levy being as high as 4.75 mills is seen in the amount of appropriations that must be met by the state for the year 1914, but it is probable that the levy will be reduced to about 4.2 mills. The legislature appropriated $6,200,000. This year the tax levy of 1.2 mills will rsise about $1,122,000. It is estimated that receipts for li censes snd other indirect taxation will total $500,00 for 1914. There Is a possibility of some of the appropri ations being held up by referendum.

The sheep are said to be in excellent condition for lambing and shearing. STATE RICH IN COAL FIELDS Beds in Coos "and 'Douglas Almost Unlimited in Extent. Ashland Our Southern Oregon mountains contain veins of semi bituminous coal from four to 11 feet in thickness, awaiting men with cap ital snd coal mining experience to turn it into money and give us a supply of good coal at low prices. We have enough coal defined in the Coos Bay ! field to supply this coast for hundreds of years, and northeast and southeast of Coos Bay is a trackless wilderness in the Coast Rsnge that promises to be a larger and better coal field, as it is higher above tide and the general formation has fewer faults. Three veins showing an excellent grade of coal from three feet to six feet in thickness, with a dip slightly to the; west are opened np southwest of hlk ton at an elevation of about 1800 feet above sea level. From a preliminary examination of this region geologically it is also the most promising section in Oregon for an extensive oil and gas field. County to Cruise Timber. Astoria Acting on the request of County Assessor Leinweber for a cruise of the timber in Clatsop county in order that he may have Information for making a proper adjustment of the values of that class of property on the sssessment roll, the county clerk awarded a contract to the Nease Tim ber company of Portland to make the cruise and prepare the proper records. The contract provides the company shall cruise all lands containing 2, 000,000 feet of timber or 200,000 lineal feet of piling to the section. Elk Arrive In Oregon.
