cussed at conferences todsy between
Premier Clolittl. Foreign Minister Mar
quis Dl San Gulilano and the French
Embassador to Italy. Camilla Barrere.
The conferences are ssid to have
been cordial, but the Turks are still
held under arrest at Cagliarl. Island of
Sardinia.
Rla-fct la Maintained.
ftaly maintains her right to capture
and search shtp of neutral nations sus
pected of carrying contraband of war.
and does not admit any limitations of
that right. It Is her Intention to pro
tect the army before the enemy.
So far as the Italian authorities would
speak, the examination of the Turks In
question seems to have proved that
both doctors and nurses were Included
la the group of prisoners, but It Is sus
rected that the object of their presence
was to distract attention from others,
who are believed to be Turkish officers,
as they were In possession of arms,
maps and a check for a large sum of
money.
Kltraeaer-a Experteaee Rebelled.
Italian officials call attention to the
fact that another alleged Bed Cross ex
pedition was once halted In Egypt by
Ceneral Kitchener and sent back, as It
was composed of belligerents.
Italy admits that France Is fulfill
ing her duty admirably as a neutral
power.
The result of the conference haa been
reported to the French government, and.
so far, the two countries have been
animated by such conciliatory spirit
that a satisfactory solution is expected.

out the turning movement. They kept
up their firing, however, until night
fall. The Italians lost SO killed and

the -Rogue River Plan." which had
Ita Inception in the Rogue River Fruit
Produce Association, which la man
aged by K. 8. Miller, is growing in
favor in Hood River Valley. While so
far no definite action has been taken
here, the general proposition has been
widely discussed during the past week.
At an Informal meeting of the busi
ness men of tho city at the rooms of
the Commercial Club last night, ad
dresses, explaining the proposed me
thods and plans, were delivered by Mr.
Miller and W. F. Gwln. of the North
western Fruit Exchange. At the close
of the session, which lasted until al
most midnight, while a few of those
present would not commit themselves,
some expressed themselves In favor of
carrying the Investigation to the end;
and at least a half of those present,
by expressed sentiment In later inter
views, have endorsed the plan.
The plans of the proposed amalga
mation, aa explained by Mr. Gwln and
Mr. Miller, are for the unions, without
losing any of their identity, to pur
chase a controlling share of the capital
atock of the big selling agency and
use it as a sales department. The
apples of each district will be sold on
their respective merits and there will
be no pooling. The committee appointed
to make an Investigation of the Ex
change will report to a public meeting
of the stockholders Saturday, when
action tending toward a final decision
will ba taken.
LEASING PLAN PRESSED
NEWLANDS PRECIPITATES CON
SERVATION DEBATE.
Division of Gross Income Between
Nation and States Will Atone
for Loss of Taxes.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 24. Friends of
est the contest In the Senate commit
tee on public lands over the Newlands
resolution, declaring it to be the aense
of that committee that there should
be legislation at thia aesslon provid
ing for the leasing of public landa
containing coal. olL iron or phos
phates. For a long time It haa been
svldent that the battle over conserva
tion measures must be fought In the
room of this committee, and the pres
entation of the Newlands resolutloa
was the first gun. Senator Newlands
believes that his resolution will be
supported by a majority of the com
mittee, and. with that body once on
record as favoring legislation at this
session, it will be a comparatively easy
task to work out the detaila. He sug
gests that the provisions for leasing
be so drawn as to prevent monopolistic
control and insure fair prices to the
consumer, but be sufficiently liberal
to permit the proper development of
natural resources.
As almost all of the good timber la
now Included In forestry reservations
and sold under the stumpage system,
the ownership of the landa remaining
with the United States, he haa not In
cluded timber In hla proposition. He
announced, however, that he would
present later a similar resolution in
regard to water power.
To meet the objection that by leas
ing the public landa the revenue there
from would flow into the public treas
ury, while the property Itself would be
exempt from taxation by the states by
reason of the fact that title would re
main with the Federal Government.
Senator Newlands proposes a division
of the gross income from the leases
75 per cent to the state or territory
where the lands are situated and 25
per cent to the Federal Government,

other commercial bodies. He defended
himself today, saying:
"I have been with the club a year
and resigned some months ago on re
quest of the president, my resignation
to take effect January 1. I atayed a
Uttlo longer and went over the books
with the president. I found that the
club still owed me some S320. On the
advice of members of the club I pro
ceeded to collect what I could from
members, though at present I am still
out more than $200. I suppose the
charge has been made on account of
my collecting money to pay my own
salary."

ATTACKED BY AN ENEMY WITHIN
There Is no worse danger when the
kidneys are weak than the big family
of "uric acid troubles," and so, when
you notice that the kidney secretions
have been much disordered for a time,
do not be surprised if you begin to
have rheumatic muscles and Joints,
nerve pains and nervousness, head
aches and dlzslness, heart weakness
and dropsy, attacks of stone and
gravel, deafness and poor eyesight.
The filtering of uric acid from the
system falls upon the kidneys and if
the kidneys are Inactive, uric acid over,
loads the blood. Instead of nourish
ing the tissues, the blood starves and
Irritates them.
Uric acid has the habit of attacking
the weakest part first. A brain work
er, will have nerve trouble or rheu
matism. A strong, healthy-appearing
person, will be liable to gravel, or
stone, heart tro-ible. dropsy, or gout.
Acute uric acid attacks with awful
pains often follow exposure, wet
weather, overuse of alcohol, overwork.
Uric Acid Causes Some of
the Worst Aches and
Ills of Humanity
overexercise or excesse of any sort,
Doan's Kidney Pills help weak kid
neys to gain strength to overcome an
excess of uric acid In the blood. Per
sons having a tendency to form unus
ual amounts of uric acid should try
Doan's. People tell of relief in many
seeming cases of rheumatism, neural
gia, sciatica, lumbago, etc., that re
sisted all other treatment.
Doan's Kidney Pills are warmly in

"When I was afflicted with kidney
trouble, Doan's Kidney Pills came to
my aid and made me well. They re
moved the aches and pains In ray back
