Constantinople. , Jan. 30.-rTurkay's
reply to the powers was harulel to
ambassadors here today. It propose
to give the allies half, instead ot
all of Adrianople, the Turks retaining
the Holy City section where the Mos
lem shrines are located. : The note
declines to surrender the Aegean la
lands or seaports but proposes the
status of government of these Islands

gests the distribution of 23,000 square
miles or conquered territory in k,u-
ropean Turkey, be left In the hands

of the powers.
Enrer Bey Is Dictator. J
The reply was dictated by Enror
Bey and was delivered to the Aus
trian ambassador by Vizier Shefkct
Pasha. It Is believed ln diplomatic
circles that the offer of the porte to
surrender all of Adrianople except
that shrines will be the final basis
for peace. It Is expected Turkey will
finally agree to the surrender of the
Dardanelles. '' .
Concessions 't Enough.
London," Jan.-30. Regarding Tur
key's reply, ceding a portion of Ad
rianople and other concessions, Dan
eff said today "The peace negotia
tions cannot be resumed on a basis
of the porte's reply. It cannot be re
sumed until Turkey cedes all of Ad
rianople and also agrees as a basis
of bargaining that the new European
frontier of Turkey be one running
from Media on the Black Sea to Mo
dosto. The present demands of the
allies will not be renewed. After the
first shot Is fired if war Is resumed
our demands will be larger than ever
Commenting on the Turkish reply
Premier Venlzelos of Greece said
"My Information Is that the "porte
proposes to leave to the powers the
disposition of the Aegean Islands ex
cept those nearest the Turkish coast
which they refuse to cede. If this Is
correct It Is unsatisfactory. Greece
fought hard for the Aegean Islands
and we are pledged to get them."

Washington, , Jan. ' 30. Chairman
Stanley of the house committee which
has investigated the steel corporation
Is keeping ' ln close touch with the
steel strike ln Rankin, ra,, through
Secretary Morrison of the American
Federation of Labor. It is believed to
indicate a possible congressional
probe. "The Rankin "trouble," said
Stanley today, "Is what Is expected
from disclosures of our investigation
The steel industry is a. seething In

tton runs a black list In rooting out
labor unions. It operates a system
of espionage and forces thousands of
persons into Inhuman slavery."
Titanic Struggle Planned.
Pittsburg, Jan. 30. Backed by the
Federation of Labor, workment In 31
steel mills stand ready to walk out
in a great movement against non un
lonists. This was the decWiration of
Thomas Flynn. an orsanlzer of the
federation who asserted the strikes
at Rankin and Braddock, involving
employes of the American Steel Wire
company, a steel trust subsidiary, will
be followed by the greatest Industrial
struggle In the history of unionism,
Color is lent to Flynn'S statement by
the presenence of Secretary Morrison
of the Federation of Labor, who Is
keeping In close touch with the sit
uation. Morrison Is in constant communi
cation with President Gompers . and
Chairman Stanley of the house com
mittee which has investigated the
steel corporation. Flynn wouldn't say
when the other steel employes will
be ordered out. but makes It plain
the struggles at Braddock and Rankin
are but a forerunner of what Is. to
come.

a message to Wilson accepting the
portfolio of secretary of state.
Constantinople say the leaders of the
Young Turks will never consent to the

To have lived mors than 60 years
with the desire to express thought
and mental imagery ou canvas by
means of oil and brush, and to have
been denied the opportunity, and then
to take up the study of art aa a pas
time and do well at it, is one of the
records that is not In print every
day, but right here in La Grande this
rather unique bit of personal history
is being made in a small, cozy room
on the second floor of the rooming
house on the corner of Greenwood

Swamp Land BUI, European Farns
Study, Workmen's Compensation i
Act, Livestock Commission Measure
Among the Most Important Pros
' pectlre Laws That Assembly Has
Heard.
Salem, Jan. 30 (Special) The leg
islature has been In session less than ,
three weeks but thus far more than
400 bills have been Introduced. Of
this number nearly three-fourths have
originated In the house- and the others
ln the senate.
The niont Important bills that have
been up (pr consideration thus far
are the swamp drainage bill, which
was passed over the governor's veto,
the livestock bill, the widow's pen
sion bill and the workman's compen
satlon act.
. Opposltloa to Swamp' Bill. - ,
Considerable opposition was mani
fested to the swamp land bill, itSi
opponents claiming that It would put
500.000 acres of rich land into the
Hands of large corporations, thus
bringing large tracts under one con
trol. Those favoring the bill point
ed out that this amount of land which
Is at present' of.' o value would be
put ln Cultivation, and would be sold
in tracts deslgnpjed by- the state land
board, with whom the ' reclaiming
company must contract. Thus It Is
possible Ifor the state land board to
Impose restrictions upon the corpor
ations which will compel them to
sell the land at a fair, valuation Iti
small tracts. . . . ..
Yeto Is Overridden, i
. A bill that Interests msjny per
sons In Eastern Oregon Is the bill
creating commission and providing
$50,000 for the protection and Im
provement of the livestock Industry
In the state. The bill passed ftver
the veto of the governor. It will now
be possible for .the state officials to
assist ln eradicating any deadly dis
ease among livestock, especially cat
tle, sheep and hogs, and to recom- ;
pense the owner of any stock killed..:
In wiping out the disease. - t v
. Fire Warden Bill Doomed.
I A measure that caused much ar
gument ln the house and some ex
change of personalities was the bill
to provide for the appointment of
road , supervisors as ex-ofllcla flra
wardens. It was hotly contested, the
opponents of the bill claiming that
such a measure would cause many
forest fires, while those supporting
it said It was. needed because ln many
Agricultural sections It Is Impossible
for a man with a little timber on his
ranch to burn the slashings and clean
up without securing, writ from a fire
warden, and It may take a month or
more to secure such an order. It
was defeated by the close vote of 30
to 27.
Judge Salary Bill Favorable.
Hereafter the salaries of all circuit
Judges ln the state will be $4,000. a
bill to that effect having passed the
house. It Is quite likely that It will
receive favorable action ln the sen
ate. Senator Dlmlck'a eight hour bltt
