SPilinG JURY LIST Dl'JII FARMERS, PRINCIPALLY, GET PLACES ON IT. ft LUMBER ORDERS ENCOURAGE ' Oregon lumber makers, have in the . past few days received a -few. good xsm oraers wwcfi wtu . nave a tendency to lift the gloom that ha Vwm hovering over coast saw 'mills. These orders are in thV main of con siderable size and will cause a few nulla to show activity for a time at least. r- '.:'';; '-.V t The east is benefitting extensively ' through the manufacture of arms and .munitions of war, automobiles i: and ' aeroplanes for the European countries and ttie war trade ; has . assisted materially in reviving business. While It is not a pleasant thing to con- template a profit from a war, the west is reaping some of the profit in wheat and horses, and if the use of lumber is increased) we wil gee decided change ' m conditions, for it is the lumber mill that spreads money rapidly. Its pro. v duct 1b made by labor and labor must be paid and paid well in the west '. Those lumber orders are ' encourag. ting at the present time. i .... - v .V. ...... . . EMBARGO ON WHEAT. TThe President and the congress , have been talking about placing an . embargo on wheat thus preventing it being shipped from this country. The intent, of course, would) be to hold' the grain to feed our own people. .. ' . It is hardly likely that such a thing . will happen, but should it happen the , price -of grain would suffer a terrfiic drop and there could be no preventing H. In fact, that would -be whatJthe congress would anticipate and expect by the enactment of an embargo act. The conditions surrounding estab lishment of an embargo necessarily should be such that foodstuff in Amer ica was almost inobtainable, and white things are close at the present' time and there are many idle people need ing help, we do not believe the em bargo days have yet arrived.' j . The present plan of placing the money raised from the sportsmen i through sale of licenses in the general fund of the state is not going to Set very well with the sportsmen of Eastern-Oregon. They view the fund raised by themselves in another light If it is to go into the general fund they will argue that the' interest in keeping up the fish and game will naturally fall to the regular state of ficers and then the work will be neg lected. The large sale of licenses, it ' is also arguedfc will dwindle down and many will hunt and fish without the i annur.'. license. . . ; .-. .

' While they were watching it another car drove up and it occupant, too, watched the fire. Persona sitting in the lobby of the Alta House last evening noticed two men enter the Childreth garaga and take the car, but it was done so od- t enly and boldly that the witnesses never thought but that one of thera was the owner of the car. The auto, a Reo five-passenger, was a water cooled car and the radiator was empty at the time. The thieves, evi dently in haste or ignorant of t how to handle a car, had driven it without examining it and, consequently, it had becomo hot and taken fire before they had driven it far. Mr. Childreth car ried insurance on the machine. The officers are today making a further investigation in the hopes of getting soaie clew to the thieves. - j AT SHERRY'S Thfe Hippodrome spectacle "Amer ica" in motion picture form, 'which is a special release of the World Film Corporation, was chosen as an open ing feature by MeWin & Weinstock, the general manager of the national Amusement Company;' that opens the new.
