Slight Increase Anticipated by Car
Moguls. '
Detroit, Mich., Feb. 7. More than
1,000,000 American citizens will buy
automobiles in 1916, according to the
estimates of Detroit manufacturers
who have made preparations to sup
ply at least 550,000 of the total num
ber. Detroit's automobile output last
year was 425,000 cars, valued at ap
proximately $400,000,000.
Detroit auto makers are gambling
on 1916; gambling with the millions of
dollars in real money they have put
into new buildings and machinery and
the employment of thousands of ad
ditional men to handle the increased
business.
More than 75,000 men now are em
ployed in the automobile industry
here. This number is steadily in
creasing. The average number of au
to employes throughout 1915 was
about 60,000.
Auto prices will not lie lowered
"much during this year, local manu
facturers declare. In fact, some of
them predict a slight increase. The

TROUBLES AT MILTON.
Municipal I'ower and Light Plant Out
of Commission.
Pendleton, Feb. ' 5. With the
municipal power plant out of com
mission, Milton ts without electric
light or power as a result of the
storm, according to a phone message
received this morning from that city.
On Wednesday afternoon the tail race
of the plant became clogged with ice
and the backwater flooded the plant.
The snow was 34 inches deep at
Milton this morning at 9 o'clock and
it was snowing hard at that hour.
No rain or chinook wind has been ex
porienced there, despite the reports
to the contrary. Several roofs have
fallen under the weight of the snow.
On Wednesday night the roof of the
Christian tabernacle collapsed just
two hours before a big party was to
have been held in the building. Yes
terday the barn of William Nichols
caved in and one of his cows was in
jured. No livestock losses have occurred
in the east end of the county but tha
present supply of feed will last only
about two weeks longer. Hay is sell
ing at high, prices.
The flume of the P. P. & L. com
pany's plant has not yet been repaired
but the auxiliary plant is proving
adequate for the present demands.

A delegation of the Union Wom
an's club waited on the Council with
the request that the lower room of
the Library building be fixed up ior
the use of the Club. The ma.tter was
referred and action will probably be
taken at the next meeting.
The road viewers of the Weaver
lane reported in favor of paying the
land owners $.100 per acre for the land
required to widen the street.
Nothing further of importance
coming up the Council adjourned un
til the next regular session.

Don't Scold Fretful Children.
That nervousness, fretting and
restlessness is no doubt caused by
worms or constipation. Instead of
whipping or scolding, give your child
a treatment of Kickapoo Worm Killer.
Nice candy confections that kill the
worms and are laxative enough to
move the bowels and expel not only
the worms but accumulated poisons.
These unisons and worms bring on
fever, make children nervous and ir
ritable, reduce their vitality and make
them victims of sickness. Get a box

Today's Oddest Story.
San Diego, Cal., Feb. -S. "The
Corner of Sighs," they call it here;
a little spot on the street near the
big gray jail where tragedy daily
stalks in silence. It is a spot seclud
ed, from whence relatives, friends and
sweethearts of prisoners may signal
those with the jail and still be
guarded from the eyes of the sheriff
and his force.
Something Good.
Those who hate nasty medicine
should try Chamberlain's Tablets for
constipation. They are pleasant to
take and their effort is so agreeable
and so natural that you will not
realize that it has been produced by
a medicine. Obtainable everywhere.

No. 2. One legacy, very welcome,
consisting of .$500,000 to be done with

The Best It ccommendation.
The strongest recommendation nny

word from the user. It is the recom
mendations of those who have used it

Gierhart, Waynesfield, Ohio, writes,
"Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
been used in my family off and on for
twenty years and it has never failed
to cure a cough or cold." Obtainable

KEEPING CUT FLOWERS.
Methods by Which the Fading Process
May Be Delayed.
Hoses, carnations and orvhlds have
been found to keep three times as long
if u small Quantity of sugar be added
to the water, writes Mabel II. Wharton
of Oakland. Cal.. to Popular Mechan
ics. A small lump of starch has also
been found beneficial. Other flowers
begin to bleed as soon as they are cut,
and the precious sap running out of
the stem causes the cells to collapse
Immediately. To prevent this the end
of the stem must be quickly closed.
and this Is best done by searing In a
flame or by placing directly in hot
water.
The florists of California go so far as
to boil the stems of the brilliant poiu
settias or Christmas flowers, for -which
they are so famous. The stem Is first
stuck through a large sheet of paper to
prevent the steam from rising directly
Into the flower and injuring It.
Carnations and chrysanthemums will
keep almost twice as long if placed in
fresh water dally, and a small piece Is
clipped from the ends of the stems
each time. While cutting this piece off
keep the stem under water so that no
air bubbles are allowed to enter the
stalk and thus retard the upward flow
of water.
If large headed flowers, such as
chrysanthemums or peonies, are to be
sent some distance insure their arriv
ing in good condition by wrapping each
blossom separately In waxed paper.

In spring dresses the light delicate

(Milady's early spring millinery
seemed largely a combination of

Even cloakes like Grandma's were
full to take in and hang gracefully
over the hooped skirt. These in
beautiful shot taffetas or soft bro
cades trimmed with fur proved popu
lar. In men's clothes exhibited, light
stripes in dark suits were more than
ever in vogue. The cut of the coat

change over fall suits.
Men's hats for early spring will be
