Tho next of kin spoke the truth. The campaign for the renomlnatlon Is on and the President's friends, who seemingly properly may be called "great and good friends." are at work. There were men In Washington who thought that the plan and the prom ise of th campaign which was out lined lacked virility, for the Infer ence was that personal rather than political frlonds of the President were to do his "booming" for him.

The opening to day of the Parliamentary session, which Is to deal with home rule, Welsh disestablishment and electoral reform, was marked by a statement by Pre mier Asquith that the visit of Viscount Haldane, Secretary of War,- to Ber lin, was made at the Invitation of Ger many and that the conversations be tween the British War Minister and the German authorities had reference to a desire on the part of both coun tries that the existing tension be re lieved. Interest In this statement complete ly overshadowed that In the govern ment huge legislative programme. Since Secretary Haldane's visit to Ber lin, the English people have been pre pared for the announcement that It had to do with the Anglo-German rela tions, but they hardly hoped that the conversations had proceeded as far as the Prime Minister's speech showed.

It la evident that Andrew Bonar Law and Lord Lansdowne, leaders of the opposition respectively of the House of Commons and the House of Jords, had been Informed of the course of the discussion, for, although they spoke before the Tremier, Lord Lans downe assured the government of I'nionist support in any move to secure a better understanding with Germany.

MOUNTAIN CLIMB ENDS IN WEDDING CCPID CCTXTXGLY DISGCISKD, WTXS FAIR MAID'S HEART. Tastor Found In XlcU of Time as Couple, With Xo Immediate .Wed lock Intentions, Change Mind. LOS ANGELES. Feb. 14. (Speajal.) An automobile outing to Riverside, a cunningly disguised Cupid at the wheel, and an obliging pastor combined forces to bring an entirely unforeseen and unexpected climax and Miss Eva L. Rltx and. Clifford Hahn, of this city, were married under the Cross of the Padres on the summit of Mount Rubidoux. This romantic ceremony was con ducted on Sunday, but so earnestly did the principals endeavor to keep it secret that nothing was heard of It until today. Hahn, It seems, had matrimonial ideas on his mind and had even obtained a license, but the marriage was to have been months hence. Nothing was farther from Miss Ritz' mind than this when they started the motor trip. They .went to the home of a close friend and he suggested the climb of the mountain. On the way up Hahn likened the ascent to life's journey, and insisted that he wanted to travel alone no longer. There were blushing protests, but eventually Rev. Horace Porter, of the First Congregational Church, Riverside, waA driven to the mountain top and the rest was easy. FAT POLICEMEN BARRED San Francisco Officers Ordered to Walk Off Surplus Flesh. ' SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14. (Spe cial.) Beginning next Sunday the strenuous life will begin for the police and fire departments. Embonpoint, which has been a proud possession of many members of the "finest" for ypars' must yield to the persuasion of physical culture and 20-mile hikes. The first demonstration of new methods In the police and fire depart ments will be given next Sunday morning when 25 men from each de partment will take a 12-mlle tramp under the personal direction of Presi dent Brandenstein. of the Fire Com mission, and Police Chief White. It has been decided that life at the fire houses was tending to make the men indolent and that many of the police men were putting on too much "cor poration." The fire and police departments of this city may In the near future be so organised that In case of a public emergency they may be merged for greater efficiency. The next step will be to make the training of the members of the two departments such that if men are needed from one department by an other there will be nothing to pre vent "borrowing." 0BSERVANCEJS DELAYED Pope Postpones Constantine Cele bration Until Next Year. ROME. Feb. 15. (Special.) The . . .,w ntii npTt Tear .pope nus puoiH"i - - the commemorative celebration of the sixteenth centenary of Emperor i.on stantines victory at Milvian Bridge, his reason being that It might be mis construed by the anti-clericals who have found fault with the commemo ration by the church of the battle. He has decided, therefore, that instead of ConstanUne s victory, his edict pro mulgated in Milan in May, 313, shall be commemorated. Since that edict constituted the nrsi triumph of Christianity and marked the end or the era of church persecu tions, the Pope wishes the celebration to assume a religious character as a solemn manifestation of faith. He re ceived In audience yesterday the Mar quis Sachettl and in referring to the proposed celebration he said he hoped another- year's life would be granted him, thus enabling him to officiate as Pontiff In St. Peters on the same spot where Constatine built the church IS centuries ago.

PRICE AGREED - AT $375,030 $300,000 to Be Spent in Re pairing Canal Around Falls. FREIGHT MAY BE CHEAPER Elimination of Toll Cost and Free Operation of Waterway Expect ed to Cause Increaso of Traffic on River. Official authorization is looked for Immediately, possibly today, by Major J. F. Mclndoe, Corps of Engineers, U. S. A., to close negotiations with tha Portland Railway, Light & Power Com pany for the purchase of the Willam ette River locks, at Oregon City, for 1375.000. The War Department will spend approximately $300,000 on re pairing the locks and basin and In the construction of a concrete wall to sep arate the property from that of the corporation, which will retain all other holdings at the Willamette Falls. News of an agreement having been reached was received in the city yes terday, and on the arrival of Major Mclndoe from Washington over the North Bank line, at 7:45 o'clock last evening, he confirmed the fact that Government ownership of the last bar rl.r to free navigation of the Willam ette was an early probability. Price Agreement Reached. lr.JA. U.I.Ja. ona fA J enm Dnrt. land last month for the Panama Canal, via Washington, and before he left the Isthmus received a cable directing him to report at Washington on his return and it was at a conference with offi cials there that an agreement as to the price was reached. Immediate possession will not be given the Government, as it will be necessary for the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company to execute a deed conveying the locks system and abutting property that is included for a keeper's habitation and other build ings, -id the instrument will be for warded to the Department of Justice for scrutinizatlon. When accepted the Government will assume charge and all tolls will cease. It is planned to make repairs so that river traffic will be in terfered with as little as possible. The depth over the sills of the locks will be increased so there will be no delays to navigation due to low water, while the gates and other equipment will be overhauled. It Is not intended to widen the locks at present, though in the plans and specifications compiled for the pro posed locks and basin on the West Side, the right of way for which would have to be condemned, it was proposed to have sufficient space so that two ves sels could lock through in company. B. S. Josselyn, president of the Port land Railway, Light & Power Company, is in California, and Eastern officials of the company met with War Department executives and completed details of the negotiations. Reduced Tariff .May Result. While the possession and control of the canal by the Government is not ex pected to result In the movement of the ..lajor portion of freight handled between Portland, Corvallis and Inter mediate points by water, it is believed that it. will result in a reduction of freight rates by railroad. The canal now col'.ects a toll of B0 cents a ton for all merchandise pass ing through it. A rate also is tixed for passengers and livestock. T.'hcn the Government takes charge of It, passage through the canal will be free. ThH will reduce the water rate in a sufficient amount, it is thought, that the rail lines will have to cut their rates to meet the water competition. However, Major Mclndoe, in his re port to the War Department recently, calculated that 20 per cent of the mer chandise passing between Portland and Upper Willamette River points will be handled by the canal. He estimates the merchandise handled annually at 600,000 tons, which would give the canal 120,000 tons yearly. There is also a fair movement of passengers at all seasons of the year when the river is open. River avlgable to Corvallis. The Willamette is navigable as fat south as Corvallis. The steamer Po mona maintains regular service be tween Portland and Corvallis, while the Oregona operates regularly be tween Portland and Salem. Other vessels will be placed on these runs, it is predicted, if the Government relieves the owners from tolls at Oregon City. The canal has been the subject ol much controversy in the last few years, or ever since the demand that the Gov ernment buy it arose. The State Leg islature in February, 1909, voted to ap propriate 1300,000 for the purchase of the property, providing the Govern ment pay an equal amount. This offer of the state will expire December 31, 1913, having been once renewed since first it was made. The Government set aside $300,000 forthwith, made sur veys and obtained prices for right of (Concluded on Page Ihra, OREGON iCoocludcd ea r. 1
