Not Known All Countries Look
on and Hope for End of
Struggle
LONDON, Nov. 30. The second
month of the shortest great European
war in history closes under brighter
auspices than the statesmen who have
been handling the tangled skein of
conflicting interests dared predict.
An armistice will be signed Sun
day afternoon in the Sultan's palace
car by the delegates of the belliger
ent states who have been conferring
there in apparent conciliatory attitude
and apparently consuming luxuriant
lunches" prepared by Constantinople's
foremost French chefs.
The hope that permanent peace will
result from the terms that will avoid
a clash against Austria is strong in
all capitals and assuming the strength
of conviction. From Constantinople,
Sofia, and Belgrade the pres3 agen
cies, whih speak with the voices of
their governments, predict a settle
ment and portray a general desire to
end the war.
The terms of the armistice have not
been announced. Chief interest centers
in Adrianople, where the Turkish gar
rison, with dimishing ammunition
and short rations still makes historic
resistance against the Servians and.
Bulgarians with their cordonof artil
lery steadily crowding closer around
the citadel.
HORSE THIEF ADMITS
HE IS GUILTY
Victor Follansbee, who was arrest
ed several days ago on a charge of
horse stealing, admitted his guilt Sat
urday. Harry Berdines, who resides
at Willamette, sold a horse to George
Grant of Scappose Friday evening and
the horse was stolen. Sheriff E. T.
Mass was notified and arrested Fol
lansbee on suspicion. Follansbee de
clared that he was innocent and went
with the sheriff to Willamette Fri
day evening to attempt to prove an
alabi. He was unable to do this, how--ever,
and was returned to the county
jail and Saturday morning admitted
that he stole the horse. He was giv
en a preliminary trial before the jus
tice of the peace W. W. H. Samson
and waived examination and is being
held on ?500 bail.

ACTING CHIEF TO BE ASKED TO
PROVE HIS RIGHT TO
OFFICE
MAYOR DIMICK SIGNS COMPLAINT
Legal Paper Is Sent to District Attor
ney for Approval Salary Not
Directly Involv
ed To determine whether E. L. Shaw
is chief of police, a complaint has been
prepared calling upon to prove he is
legally entitled to the office. The com
plaint, which has been sent to District
Attorney Tongue for his signature,
was prepared by Attorney B. N. Hicks
and was signed by Mayor Dimick. The
mayor desires to prove, it is said, that
he was legally right when he ordered
the removal of Shaw and appointed
Charles E. Burns chief. Burns, after
serving four months, simultaneously
with Shaw, gave up the work and filed
suit for his salary. Circuit Judge
Eakin, decided that inasmuch as his
appointment had not been approved
by the council Burns was not entitled
to the monty.
If the decision should be against
Shaw an effort will be made to de
prive him of his salary although he
has been the only acting chief while
Burns was not serving. The mayor
having refused to sign Shaw's war
rants he has not receive a cent of
money from the city since January 1,
this year.
Shaw will be an applicant for chief
January 1 when a new mayor and sev
eral councilmen will take the oath
of office.

EXPERTS DISCOVER
NEW FIR TREE PEST
CORVALLIS, Or.; Nov. 30. The fir
tree root louse is a new pest recently
discovered by the entomology experts
of the Oregon Agricultural College,
and efforts will be made to stamp it
out. The Prociphilus Bumeliae, as it
is named, stunts the growth of young
trees.
' This louse spends the winter in
two different stages, eggs found on
the bark of ash trees anu hibernating
lice on the fir roots," said Prof. H.
F. Wilson, discussing the new pest.
"Those on the fir continue to live on
the roots, while those on the ash bark
hatch from eggs in spring an crawl
to the leaves where they feed, caus
ing the leaves to curl. In the latter
part of May and June winged forms
appear and migrate from the leaves
to the fir tree roots, where thf pro
duce wingless lice which remain there
until late in the fall. These last then
produce a generation which includes
both winged and wingless varieties.
The wingless remain on the fir through
the winter, while the winged ones
migrate back to the ash tree and de
posit the eggs on the bark which re
main there during the winter.
"The serious thing about the pest
is that the lice "attack the young fir-
trees when they are from 1 to 4 years
old, and in many cases the trees be
come stunted from the injuries caused
by the feeding of the lice."

CITV SALOONS
A special meeting of the council was
held Saturday afternoon to hear the
story of Ralph Terrill, who complains
that boys in Oregon City who are not
twenty one years of age .can obtain
liquor in the saloons of the city. The
council listened to Terrill's story, he
telling the city fathers that a young
women was in the city recently and
that about four or five young men ob
tained rooms above Fred Kreb's sa
loon in which they brought the young
woman. Terrill testified that they ask
ed the bartender if they could bring
the young woman into the room and
he said that they could if they would
be quiet about it.
The saloonkeeper flatly denied the
charge and says that he knew noth
ing of the matter. The council after
hearing both sides of the controvercy
tv ha motw nor nairtorH
took the matter under consideration
and as yet have made no report. Mr.
Terrill, Sr., said that minors could ,
obtain liquor in saloons but was told i
that he should bring this up at anoth-.
er time is it was separate from the '
case which was being considered.

ing Dr. J. W. Norris, city health officer,
announced Saturday that there were
41 fully developed cases of - typhoid
fever in the gjty and there probably
would be more. The majority of the
attacks are of mild nature, and the
authorities declare there is no cause
for alarm, but warn the 'residents of
the city not to use any water for
drinking purposes that has not been
boiled. The police and health commit
tee of the city council, at a meeting

Samples of the city water have been

! of tne. state board of health, and other
j chemists to be analyzed, and reports
i are expected to be made about the
middle of the week. It is probable
that samples of milk also will be an
alyzed. Dr. Norris said that an inves
tigation had revealed that persons
who are patrons of different dairies
were suffering from the disease. This
is taken as an indication that the
i milk is not the cause of the disease.
William Howell, superintendent of
the water works does not think the
j water is affected with typhoid germs,
Dut is giving every aid in havine it
analyzed. The water was thoroughly
examined twice last year and many
times before that, no typhoid germs
being found. The physicians are pro
