BRITISH REPORT 13 ISSUED
Facts About Vessels Sunk by German
Submarine Are Reported.
London. The facts concerning the
sinking of the British cruisers Abou
klr, Hogue and Creasy, by a Oerman
submarine or eubniarlnei In the North
Sea with a loss of nearly 60 officers
and 1400 men are contained in an ad
miralty statement.
The reports of Commanders Nichol
son, of the Creasy, and Norton, of the
Hogue, say that the Abouklr was bit
by one torpedo and sank In 36 min
utes. Three torpedoes war fired at
the Creasy, one of the explosives miss
ing narrowly. She lasted from $6 to
45 minutes. The Hogue was struck
twice, 10 to 20 seconds elapsing be
tween the torpedoes, and went under
in five minutes.
The Creasy fired on the submarine,
and some of the officers wera conn
dent that the shots sank her. Com
mander Nicholson says that the three
torpedoes directed against his ship
might have been fired by the same
submarine and that there Is no real
proof that more than one was en
gaged. Take good toads for your teat and
go everywhere preaching the gospel
of better farm conditions.

Perhaps it has never occurred to
this Demoratlc admlnlHtratlon that a
good way to offset the diminished In
come of the government Is to lop off
a lot of useless offices, Instead of
Imposing a war tax that will mid to
the already high cost of living.
The teacher was examining the
class In physiology. "Mary, tell us,"
she asked, "what Is the function of the

stomach," the little girl answered, "Is

Has It occurred to you that out of
the nonsense and slams that have been
hurled through the newspapers of late
between Vale and Ontario on the
question of county seat removal, we
hare lost sight of some very Import
ant questions involving tin- peace and
happiness of the people of Malheur
county?
The question of the safety of the
county records is not a campaign Joke,
It Is In fact a serious matter to the
property ownera and others in this
county.
It has been shown that the very
books upon which you rely to establish
your title to the home you live In
and your property held of record are
now and have been for years left
lying out op counters and shelves In
the various offices In the court bouse,
subject to loss, damage and destruc
tion for want of adequate protection,
la this a Joke?
Should your records, my record
and the other fellows records of pro
tection to ourselves and property,
otherwise called for convenience the
county's recrods, be lost, damaged or
destroyed, what an endleas amount of
trouble It would be to us to replace
them, In fact some of these ret unit
can never be replaced, the Higiintures
and acts of those who have gone be
yond, and which are absolutel) neces
sary to every abstract and proof of
your property holdings, can nu,ver be
replaced. Is this a Joke?
When It is Kss!ble, and does often
happen, that a modern building, with
all modern appliances Installed, with
the view of safety, takea fire, how
much more chance are wit Hiking In
permitting the present dangerous con
dition of our records to exist In a build
Bag totally void of modern Improve
ments, heated with stoves and likely
wired contrary to the under writers
rules of safety, and totally liable to
every sort of danger and chanco of de
struction. Are we, the people, not
criminally and morally lluble to our
selves and our successors, In further
permitting the present and threatening
dangers to the very basis of our hap
piness unit prosperity, our Indlapeus
able records against a possible Ir
reparable loss. Is this a Joke?
Now should this sort of loss be
Ixturne to us, we cannot blame the
peoMle of Vale, the county officers,
or the other fellow, we are ourselves
to blame, and we are ourselves the
ones who will suffer the Irreparable
loss. We have run this risk, we have
taken every chance by running HM
gauntlet of possibilities by destruc
tion, and thanks to an over ruling
power, not our own good management,
have ao far eacaped. Have we not
taken chance enough, haa not the
time arrived when we ahould lock the
door against destruction before the
actual destruction haa taken place?
If this is not a Joke, then why
should we not accept by our votes the
Ontario aafe and modern building of
fered to us free of charge?
This Is not a question of tearing
down Vale and building up Ontario.
it Is not a questioln Involving the
moral or spiritual right of Vale, and
one that we ahould get down on our
knees lo approach or consider, but It Is
a question of our privilege enjoying
the present requirement of 11 lng with
a noose of possible loss continually
around our neck, it Is a question of
right by the people to protect them
selves by the portectlon of the re
cords of their acts, and Vale would
be equally Justifiable In asking St
Peter to leave the book of records of
our good deeds lying on the counters
of fire surrounding old Nick, as to
aak you and I to continue the present
chance of loss that Vale may be
pleased. Are we simple enough to do
so?
Safety flrat is a popular phrase and
one that applies to this question, so
if you see this matter in the Import
ance to which it Is due, reduce your
Farmers have suffered greatly In the
past few years from the half-baked
theories that have been circulated on
the control of prices of food products,
boycotts on meat, butter and eggs have
never yet affected the packer of the
storage men who were In position to
weather the brief Interruption In retail
demand resulting from these spas
modic brainstorms. But the farmer
who wns turning off a bunch of steers
which he had. been fattening for six
months or more did suffer from the
tempornry decline thus forced and
sacrificed the profits of the year there
by. Tariff schedules are made with a
view to lowering the cost of living, al
ways with the farm-grown products in
view as the main Items In living neces
sltes. Now we have congress advo
cating compulsory growing of calves
and raising beef on every farm, and
even talk of preventing the exporting
of farm produce to take advantage of
war prices In Europe. In every case
the farmer Is made the "goat," with
out a compensating return. How long
will our legislators continue to exploit
agricultural for the benefit of the city
consumer? Mow long will our farmers
submit to such such exploitation with
out a word of protest?
OREGON DEPRIVED

Loss of Reclamation Fund
Share Greater Than Rivet
Appropriations.
Oregon's share of tbe reclamation
fund baa beea lost by Senator Cham
berlain, or at least he pe-mltied other
Senators to "slip one ever" on him.
Oregon. In round numbers, has con
tributed $16,000,000 to tbe fund, mora
than any other state, ami Its allotment
waa 14.000,000, none of which haa beon
aid over.
What Oregon haa been deprived of
through the Inaction of Ha Senators
aneunta to far more than the total
of the appropriations received for
river aad harbor Improvements, aud
Senator Chainberlaln'e friends aasert
that he la entitled to all the credit
for all the appropriations. Tbey do
not, hawever, dlecuse the loss of the
reclamation fund, which, through tho
repeal of Section deprived Oregon
of millions of dollars.
To personal and Intimate friends
Senator Chamberlain afterward aald
that he never uaderatod how the trick
was turned by the Senatora who engi
neered the deal. He waa either at
bis deak. otherwise engaged, or not
In the Senate cbumber.
Tbe feet renmius that Oregon haa
contributed more to tbe reclamation
fund than any other atate and la not
reoelvlng a aquare deal. It la the
state that has Contributed more and
leceived less. Had Chamberlain been
"at bla post of duty" and Oregon per
Bitted the uae of the $10,000,000 It
contributed, this sum would have
given tbe state reclamation projects
second to none In tbe country.
.Stress is laid on Ho- appropriations
for rivera and harbors, but tbe loss
of tbe reclamation money is greater
than the other government appropria
tions. In his campaign In 1008. when
a candidate, for Senator aa a non-partisan.
Chamberlain spoke at Vale and
eUewhere that If elected be would
give hla undivided attention to the
mission of securing for Oregon Its

BREWERS PUT UP FUNDS
KNOWING THAT OREGON
DRY MEAN8 BETTER BUSI
NESS FOR ALL LINES
SAVE ONLY SALOONS.
BY OHTON R. GOODWIN,
Publlrltv Departmrnt, CemmlttM of One
HuBdrrd.
The groat campaign to
make Oregon "wet has
failed.
The exposure by Dr. Cora Tal
bott, secretary of the "Taxpay
ers' and WaRe Earners' League,"
that the organization consisted
of two persons. Mrs. Duniway
and Dr. Talbott, and was finan
ced by the brewers and distillers
to make Oregon "wet," threw
the fat into the fire.
The brewers and distillers know
that all kinds of business save
theirs is better in a dry town.
They know this has been
proved by figures and facts from
Salem, Oregon City, Roseburg,
Albany, Newburg. Ashland, Cor
vallis, Pendleton and many other
towr.s.
Organization Spreads Untruths.
So they organized the "Taxpayers'
and Wage Earners' League" to spread
misinformation alwut Oregon dry.
They know bank depoaita In dry
towns have increased in number and
amount. They know bad debts are
almost unknown in dry towns. They
know collections ate better. They
know arrests from drunknesa are almost
unknown. THEY KNOW EVERY
DRY TOWN IN OREGON IS PROS
PEROUS. So they became desperate.
Taxpayers' Ieague is "Joke"
Then they organized the joke "Tax
payers' and Wage Earners' League."
Dr. Talbott was secretary. Sne became
diagusted when ahe learned money was
being collected by the brewers and
distilleries by the use of her name, ami
she resigned.
Theli Mrs. Duniway advertised
lavishly, announcing tli.tt the money
the "league" wax using waa pro
vided by the brewers.
The canipuign of misinformation
curried on by employes of the
league, who ure also employes of
the breweries und distilleries, Is
now known ull over Oregon.
Brewers Spending Your Money.
Every man, woman and child
h.is to spend 20 a year wilh the
saloons.
If you do not drink, some one
else bus to puy Vol H shure.
So, it is YOl'R money the Ore
gon brewers and Eastern distil
leries have been using to persuade
YOU Oregon wet will do VOL
good. It is believed they expect
to spend over 1200,000 of YOUR
money.
They know Oregon dry will put
them out of business and help every
other kind of bumitii in the slate.
Although the breweries and dis
tilleries know Oregon dry is for
better business, prosperity and
more work, they are fighting it.
No Saloons) Better Business.
We have hud bad times wilh the
suloon, haven't we? Why not try
no saloon? It can't muke things
worse and is i certain to mako
things belter.
The reason is:
Money spent on the saloon can
not be spent fer groceries. Mosey
speat in tke saloons muck of it
goes East. Money spent fur dry
geoos end groceries stays in tke
towns end asakes better business.
Tke aseaskors of tke Committee of
One Hundred are all Oregoniam
Most of them are business men.
They ask you to vote Oregon dry,
because they know, us the brew
ers also know, that Oregon dry
means better business, lower tuxes,
more work and u return to pros
perity. For the experience of all Ore
gon dry towns has proved this to
be the case.
