All compromise efforts to bring ratification failed, tho three resold ttons of ratification all going down hv overwhelming majorities. The re publican leaders apparently despair ing of bringing two-tniras ot tne sen ate together for any sort of ratifi cation, then put in a resolution to declare the war at an end. Two ot the three ratification votes were taken on the resolution drafted by the republican majorjty, contain lng reservations which President Wil son had told democratic senators in a letter earlier in the day would mean miUiflcatlon ot the treaty.

Lessons From the Fire Last Saturday morning's fire that destroyed close to $200,000 brings home some severe lessons to the peo ple of Oregon Gty and particularly to those who own property here. First and foremost, of course, is the need of adequate fire fighting apparatus. The town has out grown its swaddling clothes, likewise its antiquated equipment for combating frames, and should have at least one modern piece of apparatus. We had a stern demonstration Saturday after the arrival of the Portland firemen with a motor driven fire engine that extin edguished the blaze in short order. Twice have the peo ple of Oregon City authorized the purchase of a fire truck, but have failed to provide funds with which to op erate it, and the council should speedily submit a charter amendment that will correct existing conditions, make the property safer and reduce the rates of insurance. Oregon City has a fire limit ordinance and the council should see to it that wooden structures partially and almost wholly destroyed are not repaired, but should be replaced with buildings of a permanent char acter. The original of Saturday's fire may be a debatable question, but it is important for the city administration to keep an officer on duty until 5 A. M., so that reports of conflagrations may be made promptly. The rain, coupled with the valiant work of the Portland department, prevented further loss, and we cannot stand idly by and hope for the elements to save property always. The general appreciation of the loss to A. A. Price isespecially marked, as he had been for years a consis tent advocate for better fire apparatus. r ralded'by federal agent, state troops Information wnlcfi la "helping the an and city police. iThe ra!d netted tone tboritlea to eecure evidence for fur of literature, records, document and ther raids and arrest of radical. pense of the county at large, there fore be It i Resolved, That in our opinion it la a very narrow and gelflhh stand taken by certain people of aald dis trict In opposing good roads, and be It further Resolved.

Canby Has Small Fire on Tuesday At noon Tuesday In Canby the fire bell rang and without exception busi ness men, professional men and house holders turned out to answer the call. The fire proved to be In the residence of Frank Allen, a retired merchant of Canby. The volunteer department hooked the hose cart to aa 'automobile and rushed to the scene of the fire. But by the time thy arrived the fire had been extinguished by membcrs of the Allen family. The cause of the fire waa from some clothes which had been piced close to the fire la th estove to dry. The damage was very slight consist ing of the clothes and the chair upon which they hung. Wny spare the cots? Tons of Evidence AT PORTLAND SHOW R. W. Cherrlck. ot Barlow. Clacka ma county, is among the Clackamas county farmers who are making good In breeding swine. Mr. Cherrick hss been rewsrded for his energy by win ning a number of prizes at the In ternational Livestock show held In Portland thla week. Having selected the Hampshire breed of a wine, he was given first prize on Merryvale Chief, a boar under six months; second and third on two aowa. Merryvale No. 1 sad Merryvale No. 2. The prize money amounted to $30. , I - la the Hampshire class Mr. Cher rlck had close competition, for there were several prominent breeders en tering this breed ot swine. One of the breeders was Roy E. Fisher, of Nebraska, who has fed his I swine on corn, while Mr. Cherrlck has fed his on kale to a large extent Mr. Cherrick has bad several flat tering offers for his prize animals, but so tar haa reftsed to eell the swine, as he Is contemplating enter ing the swine industry on a large scale, and desires to retain the prize sw'ne as head ot bis herd. He has a number of other animals that are to be exhibited at next year's fairs. This is the first time be has entered stock in the livestock show In Oregon, for he has been a resident of the state but a few months. He formerly resided In Oregon City, having arrived here last December, and purchased his farm at Barlow In February, taking possession in March. He has given his farm the name ot "Merryvale Farm," from which the animals he is raising receive their name. Mr. Cherrick was formerly engaged in farming: la Birney, Moat, and at that time was a breeder of Duroc Jerseys. While in Oregon City on Wednes day Mr. Cherrick said: "Now I am going to raise more swine and am go ing to see what I can do in the way ot winning prizes at the Clackamas county fair, Oregon state fair and then try my luck again at the Inter national Livestock ahow in Portland. Fl Tl CENTRALIA, Wash., Nov. IS. Bert Bland, notorious I. W. W, fugitive and suspected slayer ot Lieutenant War ren c- Grimm, one of the four Armis tice day parade victims, was taken without a fight at mid-afternoon to day by deputy sheriffs. Bland is now lodged in the county jail at Chehalis. According to Sheriff Berry, the radical leader made no resistance and betrayed little concern. He was hid den in a shack 12 miles northwest ot Independence and is supposed to have taken refuge there yesterday after he was seen near Rochester and Hel slng Junction, when he was driven forth to seek food. Bland was armed with a revolver, It Is understood, and a plentiful sup ply of cartridges. Making sure of hts lurking place, after the trail from Rochester had been traced, Sheriff Berry gathered a posse and sent two automobile loads of armed deputies to the shack. The shack was sur rounded and rifles leveled at the door. At her call to sutfrendejv Bland emerged from the shack, his hands held high above his head. He seemed utterly unafraid, though warily re spectful of the throng of armed men that rushed upon him. Whenever you try to pin a profit eer down, you find he has a corner on the hot air supply. COAL FATillNE SAID ER WASHINGTON, Nor. M.HProa pecta of a coal famine drew nearer tonight with negotiation between op erators and miner apparently at a standstill. A sub-committee of the Joint wage scale committees discussed the situ atlon for three hoars, but it was said operators did not submit aounter-pro- posals to the miners' demands. The conference will continue tomorrow. "We are atill la a receptive mood,' said John L. Lewis, acting president of the United Mine Workers. Thomas T. Brewster, chairman of the oper ator' committee in the central com petitive field, spoke optimistically. He aald this waa the first attempt at real negotiations alnce the Buffalo conference. Scale committee of the bituminous miners and operators in the central competitive field wenst Into eraea tlve session today to negotiate a wage contract, after Federal Fuel Admin istrator Garfield had urged upon them the necessity for adjusting their dif ferences and producing the coal the country needs. BAGBY HOT SPRINGS ONE OF OREGON'S GREAT HEALTH RESORTS Wonderful Healinfl Properties of Hot Water Described By Recant Viaitor to Resort ELK PRAIRIE, Nov. 19. Mrs. Ora Schilu, clerk of the Coal creek dis trict, came up over the trail In a storm to take the achool census. While Mr. and Mrs. Schiltz have no children of their own, they are both aincerely interested in education and are both serving upon the school board at the present time. Mr. and Mrs. Schiltz spent a part ot the summer at the Bagby hot springs for the sake ot Mrs. Shiltz's health, which was greatly improved." However, Mr. Shiltx was enlisted in the tire fighting service, so Mrs. Shiltx returned to her home with her father and brother. Messrs Thomas ot Scotts Mills, when the fall storms be gan. Mrs. Shilti said at the present time there are two bath houses at the springs. One contains two tubs and the other three. The tubs were hewn out of trees, and depend, for sanita tion upon the sterilization ot the hot water. The etiquette of the place de mands that each bather drain the tub immediately and draw water to coed tor his successor. Lucky is the bather whose predecessor took suf ficiently long to dress, so that the water is only bearably hot. "Drink the mineral waters, bathe and sweat" Is the prescription for nature's cure all as practiced there. The Bagby hot springs are free tc all as Mr Bagby turned the property back to the government for the bene fit of his fellow men tor all time. The virtues of the springs have been her alded far by those who believe that they have benefitted, so that each summer sees more from a distance awaiting their turns at nature's cure. Rangers live near by in the summer. The pasture is a place somewhat naturally guarded, where the pack horses feed together, solving the teed problem for the campers. Many come up from Scotts Mills and beyond each summer with their pack horses, headed for the springs. They go Tla Fisher's. Mr. Fisher's home is a well known spot as every summer there is a steady stream of autos passing, after coming as far as Oregon City and Portland, coming via Scotts Mills and Molalla, to fish in the Molalla just beyond. Those who continue to the springs must do so with pack horses, usually taking two days each way. The huckleberry patches attract many In the same direction each sum mer, though these were reported as having been badly burned over two years ago. RIVER ROAD IS FAVORED THE DALLES, Nov. 15. The river road, as surveyed and laid out by the state highway engineer, will be the one selected and recommended by the county court to the state highway commission as the logical route for proposed link of the Columbia River highway between The Dalles and the Deschutes river. The state highway engineers have recommended the river as against the more expensive bluff route, provided quick action is taken by the county; court in its recommendation to the state Commission, who in return ire expected to give immediate Bancton for the prompt construction of the highway. A long delay, which seemed inevit able a week ago, probably will be avoided. . I. W. W. TO GO TO PRISON LEWISTON. Idaho, Nov. 18. James V. Bliss. 1. W.

LOCAL MILL US OUT BEST RUN IN HISTORY A news dispatch from Kansas City, Mo., state that the Central Western Advertising managers ot newspapers in convention have decided to advance the advertiaing rates and to cut down the amount of advertising space In their newspapers throughout the cen tral states. The reason given is be cause of a marked shortage In news print stock. Wlllard P. Hawley, Jr., vice preal dent and general manager ot the Hawley Pulp Paper company of this city was Interviewed Wednesday afternoon in regard to the situation so far as the Pacific coast was con cerned and gave out the following statement: "I am conversant with the condi tion obtaining in the eaat to the ex tent of saying that the American Pulp k Paper association has just submit ted to ns a statement showing that the demand for news print is right now at the peak of the load and the supply is at the lowest ebb that it ha been In years. - "There was on time during the war when the stock of paper in the coun try reached a lower level than at present Many newspapers in the east bought very heavily recently not being able to tell how the present coal strike in the east would effect them. "The eastern paper manufacturers are now confronting a shortage in wood pulp and also in power from the hydro-electric plants supplying them. The forests p reducing the good wood pulp are rapidly becoming exhausted and the power shortage situation is caused by the fact that the usual tall rain have tailed to materialize and the power streams are nearly dry." Mr Hawley said that his plant dur ing the past twenty-four hours put through the largest tonnage in the history ot the mill: that his plant is crowded to the limit on orders and that the capacity of the plant is booked ahead for months to come. He said he had no way of knowing what stock the coaBt newspapers had on hand but that the demand for both news print and wrapping papers was now the greatest he had ever seen. He also said that all coast papers were now getting regular shipments of news print and that he could hard ly see how the eastern situation could effect the trade locally.- BY SHERIFF FOR THEFT Deputy Sheriff H. E. Meads acting under Instructions from Sheriff Wil son went to Mulino Tuesday and took Into custody two Portland boys who were on their way through this coun ty to Molalla with two horses which they had taken early Tuesday morn ing from the stable ot Mr. Boag, a woody a rd keeper of Portland. The boys were Roy Mann, aged 12 and William Butler, aged 15. The boys were brought into this city late in the afternoon and upon interroga tion denied having take horses but claimed that they were presented to them by some other Portland boys. Upon closer questioning, however, the boys broke down and admitted taking the horses.' They said they played hookey from school Monday afternoon and liked the sport bo well they concluded to try it again on Tuesday. Shortly after 8 o'clock Tues day morning they entered the stable of Mr.' Boag, untied the horses, led them out, climbed upon their backs : and started south. One of the boys said that they were on their way to Molalla where his sister was living. They passed through Oregon City sometime before noon without stopping. After their examination in the af ternoon they were taken in charge by juvenile court matron, Mrs. Mlnda Church, who attempted to get Into communication With the boys' par ents In Portland. She was unable to do this but a neighbor said she would tell the boys' mothers when they came home and that they would come here for the boys early in the evening. The owner ot the horses was also notified that his horses had been re covered, and he came here for them in the evening. The parents not hav ing put in an appearance by that time. Sheriff Wilson made arrangements with Mr. Boag to take the boys bacic to Portland and to their homes. It is indeed an ill wind that blows no one good, In these days ot a pound ot sugar a day. The neighbors no longer run In to borrow a cup ot sugar 'till the grocery man come.
