RUPTURE OF CONFERENCE IS NEAR
.Balkan Allies are Determined that
Them Shall be Effec
Them Chall be Effective
LONDON, Jan. 18. Turkey's decis
ion, as indicated by dispatches from
Constantinople tonight, refusing to
cede Adrianople and the Aegan Is
lands, it is believed here, will lead to
the resumption of hostilities within a
week.
The Balkan allies, after consider
ing the situation among themselves
earlier in the day, had already decid
ed to wait until the middle of next
week .-for the answer of the porte to
the joint note of the powers, and, if
then the reply were not received or
were unsatisfactory, to address a
communication to the Turkish dele
gation in the form of an ultimatum,
allowing Turkey 48 or 72 hours for a
final decision.
Should Turkey at that time be un
able or unwilling to come to the al
lies' terms, the Balkan' delegates de
cided that a rupture of the peace
conference was - inevitable. Sofia,
Belgrade and Cettinje would denounce
the armistice, and in four days the
war would be resumed
The allies do not see the possibil
ity of such proposals from Turkey or
the powers as would allow of a re
sumption of- negotiations, unless the
porte openly declares its readiness
to give up Adrianople So far, the in
structions of the Bulgarian delegates
are. categorial on this subject, and do
not admit of a discussion of the pro
posal that Turkey retain Adrianople,
even of dismantling the fortifications
or continuing negotiations on the
other negotiations of peace leaving the

One of the worst snowstorms that
Oregon City has experienced in years
began Friday afternoon and continued
until Saturday morning. The storm
which was more severe on the hill
sections began earlier than It did in
the down town sections where the riv
er tempered the air and caused the
earlier snow to melt as soon as it
fell.
The snow, which was unusually
heavy and deep, caused many trees
and wires to fall. The Pacific Tele
phone & Telegraph Company report
ing at least 200 instruments in the
city out of commission and a great
man7 of the country phones out. The
Home Telephone reports an equally
bad condition. The wires carrying
the electric current into the city
went down early Friday evening and
the city was without electric current
until Saturday afternoon at 1:30
o'clock. The wooden awning in front
of Reddaway's grocgry store on Sev
enth and Munroe Streets fell at 5
o'clock Saturday morning and in fall
ing caused the entire front of the
building to fall with it. No one was
hurt. Several other awnings on the
hill were caused to fall by the weight
of the snow. When the awning of the
Oregon City bakery fell much glass
was broken.

PROLOGUE OF
"THE COWBOY FROM TEXAS",
This is an interesting, 'exciting and catchy little
comedy plot, in which a romantic, novel-reading young
lady falls in love with the hero of her story, who is a
cowboy from the wild and wooly West. She insists that
her sweetheart shall become a cowboy, but he positively
declines. In the meantime he invents a story of a friend
in town, just from Texas, who will probably answer all
requirements. He then impersonates Jh$ C0wboy, and
with his wild rough actions completely takes the fancy
of a cowboy out of the young woman (he incidentally
introduces a singing and dancing, lariat-spinning spec
ialty,) changes costume and returns ostensibly to bid
his sweetheart good -by saying that he is off for Texas
to become a cowboy for her sake. She. begs him to re
main homeland they are finally ertgaged to be married.
This act is up to the standard and out of the ordinary,
replete with singing and danoing and classy wardrobe.
I might add too, that this same act played here
three years ago to packed houses.
