U-BOATS MAKE RAID
ON DUTCH SHIPPING
London. Report of midden swoop
CO Dutch shipping by submarines, Id
which seven vessels, six of them of
lucre III u ii :!700, ton. were torpedoed,
together wlih continued successful ac
tion by submarines uKolriot British
and oilier neutral nlilpplntc. made tbe
submarine question more vital tban
ever.
' It wu believed here that the tor
pedoing of seven Dutch steamers on
February 22 would arouse resentment
of the Dutch government and Imme
diate demand for complete Indemnity.
Tbe fact that tbe Dutch liner tailed
course advised by the Dutch govern
ment Ititelf and only entered the "tub
marine tone" because of a supposed
agreement by Germany that Dutch
hlpt would be aafe up to February
22, wat expected bere to make Hol
land'! protett all the more pointed.
the disaster to the Dutch steamers was
due "to an extremely regrettable coin
cidence of circumstances, which is un
fortunate, but oeyond our control."
DUTCH DEEPLY INDIGNANT
Nswspspsr Bays Honor Can Not Fur
thsr Be Upheld by Protests.
The Hague, via London. While of
ficials remain gravely calm there has
been an Inevitable outburst of deep
Indignation on tbe part of the Dutch
newspapers at what the Amsterdam
Telegraaf oalls "a blow In our face
and the greatest humiliation to which
t neutral has been subjected." The
paper adds:
"We confess Inability to see how tbe
konor ,of our nation can further be
maintained by protests."
Other less bellicose newspapers re
flect hardly less embltterinent on the
part of the whole nation at the latest
example of (crmuii ruthlessness, while
even Qcrmun circles, It It learned, pro
fess deep regret over what they admit
to be a ghastly blunder.
The German legation at The Hugue
has Issued a Htuleinent declaring that
Amsrlcans Art Hit Hard by Embargo.
London. Importers of American
goods feel themselves particularly
hard hit by the latest restrictions on
Imports.

What Is considered by the state tax
commission to be a measure of prime
Importance coming before the people
at the Bpeclal election to be held In
June, Is the proposed constitutional
amendment doing away with the pre
sent provisions that all taxation shall
be "equal," leaving the "uniform" pro
vision in and allowing taxation upon
various classes of property.

following Oregon postmasters, being

Approximately 25 bills relating to
school elections and the administra
tion of school affairs were passed
during the 1917 session of the legisla
ture. Perhaps the most important
measure was the bill which removed
the property qualification of school
electors, making It possible for any
citizen who has resided in a school
district for 30 days immediately prior
to the election to vote for directors.
With the exception of those laws
declaring an emergency, those which
have been referred to tbe people, or
those which are to become effective
at some specific time provided within
themselves, all laws of the legislative
assembly which just closed will go
Into effect May 21, under the provi
sions of the constitution that all laws,
not declaring an emergency, are to go
into effect 90 days after the adjourn
ment of the legislature.

Omit Service
And What It Means to You
r
YOU CAN SEE BEFORE
YOU BUY
Have you ever considered the advantage of having
practically at your door a stock of first-class
implements that can be inspected thoroughly
before a purchase is made?
Jt is a human trait to want to see
before we buy. When we were kids
we swapped knives "sight unseen"
but the novelty of this manner of
transacting business loses its attract
. iveness when we consider that imple
ments cost real money and are not an
every day purchase.
One of our jobs in conducting our busi
ness in this community is to set up
the machines'; we sell and see 'that
they are properly adjusted before
they go into your field. After they
are set up they can be examined by.
you you know just what you are
getting because you see the imple
ments with your own eyes. x
When the goods leave our store our
interest does not end there but well
tell you something about that later.
We'd like mighty well to show you
what we have in stock and give you
a description of what wc can get for
you promptly if we have'nt it here.
Drop in the next time you . are in
town. We are always glad to see our
good friends and to get better ac
quainted with those we don't know
so well. -
