That was previous to the British announcement December C that Italy had tightened its regulations con cerning the re-cxpertation of copper, making It possible for shipments to Arms rot of German affiliation to go forward. , Great Britain has been storing cop per in many of its leading seaports.

Although Denmark has strictly for bidden the exportation of copper to b-lligerentsT it Is reported that con siderable quantities of the much-needed metal have made their way through Danish firms Into Germany within the Inst three months, and the British gov ernment is much concerned about the leaking. At the opening of the war British ofllcials believed Holland was also send ing copper to Germany, but recently the Dutch regulations have been changed and The Netherlands has gained such control over Its merchants that any shipments of copper now reaching Ger many acroos the Dutch border are be lieved by British officials to be incon sequential. Norway steadily has maintained that it was privileged to ship what copper it produces wherever it chooses. Previous to the war Norwegian copper mines np.iii nniv nhmit r)0 tons annually. but since the war their known output has been greatly increased. i ma truuc copper Is sent to Sweden to be refined, and repeated charges have been made by British officials that it is not all hipped back into Norway.

STONY LOGS UNEARTHED GRADING OST COLUMBIA HIGHWAY REVEALS ODDITY, Onyx-like Petrified Wood, Showing Grain Plainly, Found Near Bonne ville Bridge-Bid Day Here. An entirely new attraction on the Columbia Highway has been discovered on a half-mile stretch near Bonneville, where grading through a cement gravel formation has unearthed a num berof petrified logs. Rufus C. Hot man, chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, says this feature will prove of interest to all who traverse the highway, so unique is the discov ery. , " "The great logs have been turned into stone," said Mr. Holman, "and will be in plain view in the cuts. Tho grain of the wood is shown beautifully and the stone itself is an onyx-like forma tion. The trees lie from 12 to 25 feet below the surface of the hills. Bids will be opened this morning at 11 o'clock for the last bridges to com plete the highway to the Hood River County line. There are three spans of reinforced concrete to be built and a fourth bridge will be constructed later, it not having yet been decided whether tho structure will be of rein forced concrete or native rock. The bridges will cost from $40,000 to $50. 000. One, across Pierce Creek, has a magnificent span 150 feet long. Con tracts for the bridges call for their completion by July 1. Grading along the highway will be finished within two weeks and then work on the bridges will commence. When they are placed the highway will be ready for paving to the Upper Sandy River bridge. The proposed bond Issue for paving then will bo taken up and. If it carries. It is the plan of the Commissioners to open up the road on the east bank of the Sandy River, which, it is said, will vie with the Columbia Highway itself in scenic attractions.
