"I will say right here that I am proud to be able to call myself a Wash, ingtonian. declared William J. Pike. American Consul at Strassburg. Ger many. "But Washington has one or two things to learn from r:ropen cities, and the desirability of a great public bath Is one of them. "All over Kurope the cities have these public bath buildings. 'They rank with the municipal buildings in Importance and are half a block In exttnt. As you are driven about the city guides point them out as among the leading structures of the city, for such they are. In Strassburg we have a bath that cost ISOO.000. In Relchenborg. Bohemia, they recently completed a publio bath costing; about 1305,000. Zlttau. In Saxony, Is a city of only S4.000 Inhabitants, but they have had a public bath for many years that cost 13 50.000. "In the larger cities, like Berlin and Vienna, the baths, of course, are much more expensive. They are like great department stores and give employ ment to many people, yet they are self supporting, although the price charged for a bath Is exceedingly cheap, the ordinary tub bath costing- five cents, and the most expensive the Turkish or Roman bath 35 or 40 cents. "Nor Is that all. for these structures. In addition to being magnificently fin ished In marble, are equipped with merited devices for spraying. One can reach up and grasp a spray for throat trouble or find within reach something to inhale for lung trouble. In fact, medical devices of many kinds are sup plied, under the most careful supervi sion, and thus the baths become great Institutions for the preservation of health, not only by Inducing cleanli ness, but In other particulars." ETHELRQDSEVELT'S ESCAPE PRESIDENT'S DAIGHTER IX PERILOUS .POSITION. Saddle-Horn Breaks. Horse Runs Away Jn Fox-IIunt, Rider Slip ping t Ground When Saved. Bt'FFALO. N. Y., Nov. . Miss Kthel Roosevelt narrowly escaped serious in Jury yesterday afternoon while riding with the Genesee Valley Hunt Club near Genesee. N. Y. While taking a swamp the horn of Miss Roosevelt's saddle broke while her mount was going at a fast pace. She hung in a dangerous position while the animal, frightened by the accident, started to run away. ' Harp Wilson. -a young colored boy, drove his mount to the front and reached Miss Roosevelt's side in time to catch her horse's bridle as she was fast slipping down from the now In secure saddle. The boy soothed the plunging beast until Miss Roosevelt had time to dis mount. She pluckily continued the hunt however after the broken saddle had been replaced with a new one. The course of the run began near Avon. A fox was started In a patch of woods a short distance from the starting point and circled through the fields. The hounds closed in on the fox. which took to a swamp. It was at this point that the accident hap pened to Miss Roosevelt. A broad leap across the deeper portion of the swamp caused her to break the horn of her saddle. IN SAVING THE FORESTS Senator Smoul Tells of Germany's Timbered Lands. London Cable to New York Herald. Senator Heed Smoot. of Utah, chair man of the forestry division of the Na tional Conservation Commission, who has been studying forestry in Switzer land and Germany, gave a brief account of his tour. He said: "In Switzerland, and especially Ger many, forestry is a science, and from these two countries the United States can learn a great deal as to how to get the best possible results from tim bered land. The Slhwald. which Is owned by Zurich, is probably the best managed forest In the world, and I found that the net profits from It are . .extraor dinarily hitrh. Evory piece of wood is turned into money. There is absolutely no waste. At the sawmills the shav ings are made into what Is known as excelsior, and wood that would other wise be thrown away is made into brush handles, mop poles and a thou sand and one other things. "I was bUo very much Interested In the work at the experimental station of the University of Munich, which Is under the supervision of Professor Mayer. Trees from all parts of the world a.-e grown there and careful notes are made of the length of time each tree tsked to grow under all con ditions of soil and climate. Some of the young trees are planted on one side of a hill and some on another where -they will get plenty of eun, while others are sheltered from winds by fenevs or wails. "The Black Forest Is another admir ably conducted reserve. Mnny things th:t 1 saw. could be Imitated to advan tage in the United States. In Europe nothing was done until the forests had been practically depleted, when the land was refoiested on strictly scien tific lines. "We have nearly 164,000.000 acres of forest reserves In the United States, nearly all of which can be. reforested. Our forest question is a big and Im portant one. Among the steps now being taken to preserve forests that protect watersheds and that feed val leys there are not only restrictions as to the cutting of timber, but grazing is forbidden within certain distances from cities."

The Police Department Is enjoying a bit of sarcasm perpetrated yesterday at the expense of the officials of police In general and Chairman Thomas G. Greene, of the police committee. In par ticular, by Patrolman H.-A. Galbraith, who sent a pithy note yesterday after noon to Captain Moore, of the first night relief. "Captain Moore: Desiring not to keep anything coming Into my hands as an officer, except my salary and but little of that I respectfully hand you the attached "vote of thanks,' which is self-explanatory. "H. A. GALBRAITH. "First Night Relief." Attached to Tatrolman Galbraith's note was the following, scribbled on the half of an envelope: "Portland. Nov. 3. 1908.

Republic's Proposal Regarding Casa Blanca Incident In AH Proba bility Will Be Accepted by Kaiser's Government. PARIS, Nov. 6. Belief Is held here that France and Germany will speedily come to an understanding on the ques tion which has arisen over the arrest of German deserters by the French au thorities at Casa Blanca, on which oc casion. Germany charges, an official of the German consulate in that city was attacked. Germany during the early part of Oc tober made representations to the French government on what i now known as the Casa Blanca incident, and demand ed that France make expression of re gret for the occurrence. As the matter has been pushed to the front in the last few days, France transmitted to Germany a proposition which she felt could be accepted with good grace by both countries. Advices received from Berlin indicate that Chan cellor von Buelow looks favorably on the proposition and there seems to be little doubt now that an amicable agree ment will soon be reached. Prince von Radolln, the German Am bassador to France, and Foreign Minis ter Plchon conferred together last even ing, and it is said that their Interview has materially advanced the work of finding a oiutlon of the problem satis factory to both parties. At the sjnme time. Russia and Great Britain are fully supporting the attitude of France, the Temps, one of the most In fluential of Paris newspapers, advances the opinion that the present situation in Europe makes It absolutely impossible for Germany to risk an aimed conflict. It would be a crowning Impudence, this paper says, for Prince von Buelow to risk a war when Austria-Hungary is absorbed In the Near East, when the Balkan slates are ready to close Germany's roads to the eastward and when Russia, aroused by a wave of Slavism, is prepared to seek a national revenge. France, morally and from a military point of view, is capable of defending her dignity! Great Britain is indisput ably supreme at sea, and Italy is less and less disposed to sacrifice herself in the cause of another state. In conclusion, the Temps advises the government to publish the French case to the world. Prince von Radolln. the German Am bassador, had a conference this after noon with M. Plchon, the French Minis ter of foreign affairs, but no statement was issued with regard to this, and It te not known whether the Ambassador transmitted the Germany reply. Never theless, the dispatches from Berlin man ifest a less Intransigent spirit and are interpreted here as evidencing that Ger many is shifting her position and is now likely to accept the French attitude. Ambassador Jules Cambon received in structions lust night to propose to Chan cellor von Buelow that both governments make expression of regret over the Casa Blanca incident and submit the remainder of the questions at issue to arbitration. The chancellor has replied favorably and It is believed that a settlement Is close at hand. MOTHER AIDS ELOPERS IRATE FATHER STORMS ALL- IX VAIN. Daughter Eludes Stern Parent and Weds Member of Army Sig nal Corps. SEATTLE. Wash.. Nov. 6. (Special.) After eluding a watchful father who had ordered her soldier lover. Master Signal Electrician Jeffries, never again to enter his home. Miss Clara Nieder hauser had to wait two hours at the Church of the Immaculate Conception for the groom, who thought he was to meet her at the Cathedral of St. James. Both spent an anxious two hours until the mistake was discovered and rectified. The bride was in tears when her war rior arrived. The latter, with his best man. J. C. Hagerman. a local Army re cruiting officer, were almost distracted with fears that the father had discovered the plot and had summarily broken up the wedding. The mother, who aided the elopers In their preparations, was unable to leave the house, because the father failed to go to work that morning and finally, when Jeffries telephoned there for an explan ation, set him aright as to directions and he hurried off to the proper church, where the bride and her sister had gone, after leaving the house ostensibly on a shopping trip. The mother also finally, eluded the father and hurried to the church, where the ceremony was per formed by Father Robert Smith. Just one-half hour before the sailing of the boat which was to carry them to San Francisco, where the groom is stationed at the Presidio. PROOF AGAINST COYOTES Sheep Pasture In Wallowa Forest Safe From Prairie Wolves. OREGONIAN. NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Nov. 5. The coyote-proof sheep pasture erected In the Wallowa Nation al Forest last Autumn has proved a de cided success. The fence, which was built of one barbed wire below and two barbed wires above? a 36-lnch worm-wire fence, with posts 16 feet apart, has been found an effective bar rier .to wolves and coyotes, but not to bears, A loss, amounting in the aggre gate to thousands of dollars, might be saved if wolf-proof pastures similar to that used In the experiment were con structed, and all predatory animals within killed. The -problem was to determine the action of sheep within an enclosure where tliey would be secure from the attack" of predatory animals, and could be Dastuied without the care of a herd er. This experiment was pari oi an ( investigation which is being conducted : Jointly by the Forest Service and the Bureau of Plant Industry In reseeding and In other ways restocking dam aged and worn-out ranges, and In methods of handling stock so . as to reduce to the minimum the loss of forage by trampling. Although the damage to the National Forest ranges under the regulation of grazing is very much less than under the open-range system, there is still a large amount of forage cut out by the sharp hoofs of the animals grazed. A band of sheep sometimes wastes as much as it eats. Where a herder. Instead of driving his sheep back to the same camp every night, selects new bedding grounds near where the band !s feeding, the waste Is considerably .epser.ed. That one-third of the vege tation on the sheep ranges of the Na tional Forests Is destroyed by tram pling is, regarded as a conservative estimate.' How great a saving might result from intelligent. persistent ef fort to lessen avoidable damage to the range can be seen from an estimate that the gross income of sheep owners last vear from the grass In the Na tional Forests was $7,225,000. and that the grass tramplcfl and wasted repre sents a possible additional gross in come of t3.330.ii00. It is well known that sheep derive greater good from feeding, and trample out less feed, when they move slowly and are scattered out than w.hen bunched or when hurried over fre quented paths or driveways. The ex perimental pasture was stocked with 24H3 sheep, which were permitted to feed and to bed at night without In terference. An opportunity, was thus given to make observations on the fol lowing points: 1) Do sheep 'separate into small bands when allowed to graze at random, unmolested by animals? (2) To what extent do sheep scatter and graze openly. If allowed perfect freedom? (3) To what extent do sheep destroy range by rambling about and trailing, if allowed perfect freedom? (4 ) Do sheep bed together In large bands when allowed perfect freedom, and do they seek the same bed ground night after night? The information gained is mooriicd In Forest Service circular 156, 'ogether with a detailed description of the fence and the cost of its construc tion, and a discussion of the phase of the grazing: problem. This circular, "Preliminary Report on Grazing- Ex periments in a Coyote-Proof Pasture," can be had free by application to the Forester, Forest Service, Washington, D. C. GRAIN RATE HEARING ON RAILROAD COMMISSION" GETS EVIDENCE AT PEXDLETOX. Farmers Testify as to Cost of Pro duction of Bushel of Wheat In Eastern Oreg-on. PENDLETON, Or., Nov. 6. (Special.)

Phelps assisted the Commission In obtaining the evidence from the witnesses. Documentary evidence was introduced allowing the earnings of the O. R. & S. and also showing comparative charges of roads in other parts of the country. Farmers from every section of the county testified as to the cost of producing a bushel of grain In this vicinity, the esti mates varying 35 to 65 cents per bushel. In arriving at the cost of production, land prices and capital invested in equipment, etc., were taken into consideration, as well as cost of labor.
