DAMASCUS George Reid's house burned Sun day night, about eleven o'clock. Mr. Reid had just arrived home and while they were busy at the barn the house burned. They saved a very few things from the kitchen. The fire caught from a defective flue, it is be lieved. The loss is partly covered by insurance.

Miss Esther Rnvell spent the holi days visiting friends in Washington The play entitled "The Old Dairy Homestead," given Saturday night at the German hall, was greatly apprec iated by everyone.

The Damascus telephone company held its annual meeting January 3rd, and John Mullenhoff was elected pres ident; Herman Ritzall, vice-president; Roy White, secretary; Arthur Hea cock, treasurer, and Henry Hoff master, manager. Mrs. Huddlo received word that her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Luther Huddle, had been very seriously in jured burned by an explosion of tur pentine. Her husband burned his hands so badly in trying to extinguish the flames that it was feared at first that he would have to have them am putated. As it is he will lose one finger. If Mrs. Huddle recovers new skin will have to be grafted upon her. Mr. and Mrs. Huddle are employed at the state insane asylum in Lincoln, Nebraska. They were maddied last July.

Experience has taught Dr. Pierce that "Anurio" is the most powerful agent in dissolving urio acid, as hot water melts sugar; besides being absolutely harmless it is endowed with other properties, for it preserves the kidneys in a healthy condition by thoroughly cleansing them. Being so many times more active than lithia, it clears the iful that Logan people are liable to become spoiled and expect a banquet on all occasions.

Mr. WORKS. Precisely, Mr. Pres ident Mr. REED. Then, does it not fol low Mr. WORKS. Just wait one mo ment and in the bill that I introduc ed here in the Senate I provided that not only munitions of war should not be sent, but that clothing 'and food for the armies should not be supplied. Mr. REED. Very well. Mr. WORKS. In other words, I object to the furnishing of any of the supplies that have been furnished by this Government or its people that are prolonging the war. Mr. REED. The Senator believes that we should not sell cannon or rifles or ammunition to a nation en gaged in war. He likewise believes that we should not soil to them food or clothing or shoes or horses mules or automobils or anything used upon the field of battle? Mr. WORKS. That is my position precisely. Mr. REED. Then, the Senator must certainly go one step further, No army can be kept in the field, how. ever well fed or well clothed from abroad, unless the people at home are also fed and clothed. So I think that the Senator would, by parity of reas oning, reach the conclusion that no goods of any character should be sent to a belligerent power. Mr. WORKS. Not at all, Mr, President. Mr. REED. That must be true, and if true it follows that our entire foreign trade should be wiped out at once; that this country should suffer all the disasters of a war, for which it was in no way responsible, except the loss of the lives of its citizens. En force such a doctrine and the price of every horse and mule in America will fall to about 50 per cent of its value; likewise cattle and hogs will go to about 50 per cent of their value. All the products of our farms and mines and factories will go to about 50 per cent of their value, and this country will be engulfed in a financial and in dustrial catastrophe such as the world has ever seen. All this the Senator would have our country suffer on ac count of a war that we prayed would never be begun, which we pray may be speedily ended, and for which we are in no manner responsible.

Ito, manager of the engine works of the Mitsu Bishi Dockyard and Engine Works at Nagasaki, has invented an apparatus for controlling the movements of a ship directly from the bridge. This invention is likely to have the most far-reaching results and will undoubtedly be adopted by shipping companies in all parts of the world. The device does away with the necessity of telegraphing instructions to the engine room. The new appar atus, which enables the officer on the bridge to regulate the valves or re versing engines directly, can move the ship at will in the time it usually takes the engineer to receive thej message by means ot the telegraph indicator. The new apparatus prevents the possibility of ; misunderstanding and error. In case of accident, disputes frequently occur between the bridge and the engine room as to the indica tion of the engine telegraph. The de vice may be used with great advantage in foggy weather or in going in and but of a harbor or in anchoring. The greater mobility which a ship thus attains will often enable it to avoid a collision. The racing of propellers in stormy weather frequently causes great damage to the engines. This, however, is avoided to a certain ex tent by the new apparatus. The nav igator can adjust the engines instant ly before the big waves are encoun tered. The device is worked by electricity and in case of any defeat it can easily be detached and the engines worked in the ordinary way. This change does not require more than three or four seconds. . THEORY IS DOUBTED Intermarriage of Pioneers Not Cause of Degeneracy, Says Writer Editorially recently the Courier ex pressed the idea that certain forms of insanity in Oregon might be caused by the intermarriage of pioneer stock, and the continual interbreedig of cer tain families. Statistics in other sec tions have shown that the continual intermarriage of any certain set of people led to a lack of intellectual development. However, some mem bers of pionerr families have taken exception to the Courier's remarks, and in deference to them the Courier is glad to say that many pioneer fam ilies are exceptionally free from taint of any kind. Unfortunately, how ever, all pioneer families and their de scendants are not so well fixed, physic, ally. One of the letters received by the Courier on this question is perhaps typical of the general idea, and reads as follows: Editor, Courier: Degeneracy of the Kemp variety may be caused by the intermarriage of pioneer families, but many of us who came from that source will have to be shown more plainly. We are Missourians from Pike county as well as pioneers. It seems strange the malady did not show up until these later days when the pioneer stock is nearly crowded into the back alleys, or has so inter married with the new importation as to nearly lose its identity. Maybe you are mistaken, and it is this last mixture that has caused the trouble, as you know the Indian mixture took all the bad traits of both sides and left most of the good ones out. O. D.
