TO RATIFY PEACE PACT
WASHINGTON. Nov. 19. After
three ineffectual attempts to ratify
the peace treaty had failed the sen
ate late tonight gave up the attempt
and laid the treaty aside.
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. On
each of the votes most of the demo

The senate adjourned sine die at

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
