and all Oregon points of Importance
will have the benefit o reduced round
trip rates from the Middle West and
Eastern cities every day In the year.
The new rates will average about 10
higher than the round trip rat In
force last year, will be sold every day
in the year and will be good for a
round trip for nine months.
The holders of low round trip sum
mer rates may secure extensions on
tho return portion by calling at a
United States railroad ticket office
and paying the difference between
the new and the old rates. A formal
announcement of the new rates will
be made In a week or 10 days.
This will do much to keep travel
continuous to the west coast as far
as war conditions will penult, and
means much for the whole Pacific
Coast. The new rates will be from
all points and will be arrived at by
adding regular fares and making a
percentage discount which will bring
the rate within a few dollars of the
old rate of last winter.

NOG ALES. Aris., Aug. 27 Three
American cavalrymen were killed and
12 were wounded here today In a two
hour border battle with Mexicans.
Lieutenant Colonel Fredert k J.
Herman was one of those wounded.
The Mexican losses are estimated at
over 100 killed and wounded.
The fighting began at 4 o'clock
when the Mexicans began firing
across the international boundary line
from Nogales, Ionora.
Several hundred troops engaged the
Mexicans and drove them well back
Into their town.
Civilians aided the American sol
diers from housetops and other points
of Tan tags.
The Mexicans hoisted a flag of
truce, bat continued firing and sniping
was going on at 7 P. M. ,
Bullets were dropping thick and fast
in Nogales, Ariz., one civilian, Gaston
Reddock, was wounded.
Tonight Lieutenant Colonel Her
man, who was slightly wounded, was
able to retain command of the troops,
although he had to be assisted from
place to place.
The trouble was supposed to have
started as a result of an attempt on
the part of a Mexican immigration
official to pass a fellow countryman
across the border illegally.
American sentries drew guns and
Mexicans fired. Other Mexicans, ap
parently fully armed, came from all
directions and aided the Mexicans on
the line until they were driven back.
' An Infantry detachment was rushed
t the border and was followed by
negro cavalry troops who took up
positions along the street which forms
tne boundary line. The firing con
tinued until 5:30 P.. M.. when it died
down slightly, but occasional shots
could be heard.
Reports that machine guns were
brought into action by the American
troops were denied, although a ma
chine gun was set up in an office
facing Mexico.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. The de
mands of shipyard workers of the
country for a wage or Jl an hour,
with double time for holidays and over
time and a half holiday on Saturdays,
have precipitated a grave situation, it
was indicated today when it was
learned that the ship building labor
adjustment board to whom the de
mands were submitted, would confer
with President Wilson late this af
ternoon.
The board has had the demands un
der consideration for more than a
week, and it is known that the mem
bers fear a general strike if the men
are turned down. While members of
the board refused today to state the
object of their appointment with the
President, it is believed that they
will ask him to Issue a personal ap
peal to the men to remain at work as
a patriotic importance of their work
at this time, and calling to their at
tention the grave results that would
follow a cessation of their work .
STRIKE AT ST. HELENS
SAYS STATE NEEDS
EXCEED REVENUES
oALEM. Or., Aug. 22. State Tax
Commissioner Chafles V. Galloway
has totaled the requests and estimates
of all state departments and other
organizations having state aid as
recently submitted to the commission
to show the needs of the next Men
niura and finds the total to be ?9,
515,437. This total is on the assump
tion that an amendment to the
workmen's compensation act will be
passed whereby the state will be re
quired to give aid to that commission
amounting only to actual expenses.
Otherwise the total estimate would be
Approximately $800,000 more.
The total amount as arrived at by
Mr. Galloway is, in round numbers
$2,000,00 m excess of what Is avail
able for the next blennlum under the
G per, cent tax limitation amendment,
and is the figure upon which prob
ably will be based a bill which the
commission proposes to Initiate for
the November election to meet the
needs of the state In excoss of what
is allowed by the state constitution.
Such a bill, however, under the
statute, can make provision for only
one year. The tax commission will
meet Frllay to consider the estimates.
SEATTLE. Aug. 2:1. Resolutions
adopted by the Seattle Central Ihor
council and the shipyards laborers'
union, urging that Clareuee L.
Kcames. aoolstant nnorucy general,
be replaced by someone "more In line
with the president's wise policies,'
were answered today with a state
ment that he wus being condemned
because he prosecuted cases against
Hulet M. Wells, former president of
the council, W. II. Kaufman, a state
grange member, aud others charged
with blocking the government's war
plans.
"The resolution condemning we was
started by Gus Lukeu, former bus!
ness munager of the shipyard labor
ers' union," Mr. Reames told the As
sociated Press.
The labor council adopted the reso
lution last night It told of the prose
cution of Wells, Kaufman and others,
and declared Reames should be suc
ceeded by ''an official more Imbued
with real patriotism and less desirous
to serve the predatory classes by the
destruction of their opponents."
Mr. Reames also asserted the coun
cil was not speaking for Seattle union
labor. "I am assured by patriotic
labor leaders that Wells Is regarded
by union labor as disloyal to both his
county and his union." he said.

10 o'clock this morning when the com
pany refused to replace Felix Som

SALEM, Or.. Aug. 28. A sheep of
the long or medium wool class will
produce as much milk as a $75 milch
goat, declares Dr. W. H. Lytlo, state
veterinarian, and for this reason lie
avers that, If every Oregon lawn were
made to support one or two sheep,
there would be no milk and wool
shortage.
..eep's milk Is the finest there Is
for babies," said Dr. Lytle, "and the
sheep I have described will yield $i
of $8 worth of wool. If the lamb Is
raised until It is 3 months old It will
hring $10, but the lamb can't be raist'd
if the milk is wanted in the home."
Dr. Lytle says that the wool short
ae has arrived and that the milk
shortase is on its way. The way to
meet the difficulty, he asserts. Is to
put a couple of sheep In each door
yard. "A strap to serve ng a collar around
the sheep's n' k, and a rope to stake
her out, Is all the equipment needed,"

In the most heated pulpit discourse
on the bIus of Germany heard In this
city since the I'nlted States entered
the war, Dr. Mathews consigned the
kaiser to exile, outlawed the German
nation for 100 years and demanded
the execution of Gorman leaders.
These officers, he declared, who had
the authority to prevent atrocities by
the German armies and did not do It,
should bo court marttaled and shot.
He recommended the same thing for
submarine a plains. He declared the

peace table, pi-cause It Is not a bet
liger. ut.
Germany, he declared, should not
have a chance to negotiate peace but
should be forced to accept tlicated
terms.

DRAFT IDLE ACRES
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22.
A morement to draft every idle $
5 acre west of the Rocky Mountains
for food production was started 3
here today.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Aug. 27. The
plant of the raclflc Coast Steel com
pany here was closed today when
nearly the entire force of 1300 work
ers went on strike. Failure of the
company and the various unions of
its employes to reach an agreement
in negotiating for new working con
tracts caused the walkout, which fol
lowed an unsuccessful attempt of the
mediation service of the United
States department of labor to prevent
the trouble, as the plant has been
working almost entirely on war con
tracts. The wage demands of the men, ac
cording to officials of the steel com
pany, amount to 68 per cent above
their last year's pay.
The employes say they are only
asking for the same scale and condi
tions that apply in all other metal
trades industries here doing govern
ment work.
No conferences were held today but
it appeared probable that the case
wou. be submitted to the war labor
board, when Henry M. White, the
government's mediation, who was out
of town today, returned.

Apparently the merchant ship pro
ceeded on Its course, the officers be
lieving the encounter had been with
an enemy submarine.
A United States destroyer plying
near hurried to the scene when the
watch reported hearing the shots fir

the survivors.

General Manager S. L. Cllnger, of
the steel company, declared that 00
per cent of the employes were cov
