State Bryan to protest against
the announced intention of Jap-
pan to take over the German-
lease territory of Kiau Chau was
introduced in the house of rep­
resentatives today by Represen­
tative Britton o f Illinois. The
resolution stated th at the release

be inimical to the interst of the
United States and China. "Brit­
ton declared the course of Japan
appears to be a warlike step to
gain a hold on Chinese territory.
The resolution was referred to a
committee.
“ Be it resolved,” said the res­

state be directed to communicate
w ith Japan that the United States
views with concern . the transfer
by force of arms of any Chinese
territory to Japan or any other
foreign nation, or any transfer
of territory without the uncondi­

as to the United States. Secre­
tary Bryan was at the W hite

cerned, the naval activities of
the w arring powers in European
waters is a sealed book.
* In Washington the Japanese
ultimatum to Germany overshad­
owed all other developments.
An outstading feature was the
determination o f the United
States not to become involved.

The destruction o f Richard
Thurman’s house at Mapleton
about noon Monday threatened
the town, and it is said that only
by good use o f the water system
belonging to Richard Clow were
many adjoining buildings and
possibly -the business section
saved.
The fire is supposed to have
caught from a stove pipe run­
ning through the roof. Quite a
strong wind was blowing towards
the business section a t the time,
and the fact th at two large ma­
ple trees, having foliage, and
that the citizens managed to play
one two-inch stream, and two
half inch streams of. water on
water on the building, is what
saved further destruction.
George Thurman and family
were living in the house, and
most of the furniture was saved.
Wm. Hood, chief engineer of
the Southern Pacific, H . P. Hoey,
assistant engineer in charge of
the construction o f the W illam ett
Pacific, and W . R. Fountaine,
assistant engineer, arrived in
Acme Saturday, and Sunday
morning went over the right-of-
way south on an inspection tour.
Mrs.
Hood accompanied the
