Homey and Major William A. Phillips,
of the Army ordnance bureau, which
have been pending several week.
Colonel Homey, it is understood, is to
go with the Aetna, Powder Company at
a salary about five times what ho re
ceived in the Army, and in addition
to that he receives a cash bonus.
The name of the firm which will em
ploy Major Phillips was not disclosed
here today.
Secretary Garrison explained that
his decision was influenced by the fact
that in developing new ammunition
plants, although under private owner
ship, the officers would be performing
a service of vital importance to the
United States Government.
This question of developing more
factories." he said, "may mean the dif
ference between success and disaster
to the country. These men are en
gaged in installation of machinery to
make guns and ammunition. The mere
superintendence of plants already in
stalled can be done by less expert men."
Colonel Horney has been in charge
of the Picatinny arsenal at Dover. N.
J., and Major Phillips was detailed to
ordnance work at the Sandy Hook prov
ing grounds.
GLADSTONE PARK, Or., July 13.
(Special.) Newell Dwight Hillis by an
address before 30oa Chautauquans at
Gladstone Pars this afternoon on
"America Today and Tomorrow," held
them spellbound with his eloquence for
almost an hour and three-quarters. The
lecture, imparting a message of op
timism, was one of the features of the
Chautauqua.
Dr. Hillis decried the trouble in Eu
rope as an "iron ore" war. He in
sisted that the conflict was the result,
direct or indirect, of the playing out
of the iron deposits of Germany, and
that it had been predicted years ago
that when the great iron deposits of
Germany gave out that a general mix
tip in Europe and even a war might
result.
"The call is the mechanical voice of
eteel." charged the speaker, "and when
the Kaiser's forces at an early stage
of the great conflict turned their
forces toward . Paris, they wanted
not Pans but something a thousand
times the value of the great Frencn
city. They wanted the iron supply ol
France, and the owner of that great
Iron supply eventually will control
Europe."
Mr. Hillis' "America of Tomorrow"
is the dream of a Pacific civilization,
the development of the great Pacific
Coast sections from Alaska to the far
south, which will evolve naturally
when the Panama Canal works its way
out. The Pacific country, according
to the noted divine, will be the center
of all modern civilization, including the
European countries as well as this con
tinent. The West is predicted as the great
farm of the world and the country as
boasting of 00,000.000 people, all
happy, prosperous, contented. Chris
tian people.
Dr. Hillis gave an astounding array
of interesting statistics concerning this
country and opened up a new vision
and a realization of the greatness of
the United States among his hearers.
He shoved the whole state of Texas
under the microscope, measured up
Mount Hood and the Columbia with his
Hudson River, sized up the population
and the farm lands of every country
on the face of the globe with the na
tive land, farmed Bill Hanley's 200.000
acre ranch, paved Broadway with an
Oregon fir. shipped 365 trainloads of
potatoes from one small California
farm and performed so many other
mathematical feats Chat he made his
big audience feel ashamed that they
hadn't shouted the glory of the West
from their housetops.
In closing Dr. Hillis made an elo
quent plea for a better manhood and
womanhood. He eulogized Abraham
Lincoln and emphasized the duty of
the country above all else to manu
facture manhood, to turn every man
into a great soul. "it a only five min
utes after sunrise in the - future of
America," Eaid the speaker.
Representative W. C. Hawley was
the forum-hour speaker at 11 o'clock
on "Rural Credits." Mr. Hawley is a
memDer or the rural credits commit
tee of Congress. He traced the growth
of the rural credits plan in other
countries, explained its workings and
impressed upon his hearers that in the
plan lay not only the salvation of the
farmer, but the only scheme that
would result in keeping boys and girls
on the farm.
WIFE RECALLS 200 BLOWS
Court Tells Mrs. J. W. Crane to Live
Apart From Husband.
Joseph W. Crane, a clerk at the Te
ton Hotel, and his wife, Margaret, were
instructed to live as far apart as possi
ble by Municipal Judge Stevenson yes
terday. The case was continued in
definitely Mrs. Crane charged her husband
with striking her 200 times and with
other. acts of cruelty. Mr. Crane said
that his wife had followed him across
the continent after they had been sep
arated 23 years. He said he had sup
posed she had obtained a divorce.

PRESIDIO OF MONTERET. Head
quarters Troop A, Oregon National
Guard. July 13. (Special.) In a fierce
and hotly contested sham Wattle, the
militia cavalry organization of Oregon
and California completely routed and
captured two regular army troops.
Troop A, Oregon National Guard, played
a most important part, and succeeded
by a brilliant flanking movement in
crumpling the enemy's left flank and
capturing their horses which were con
cealed in a dense wood. The Oregon
troop was led by Captain Frank J.
Tibbetts.
The battle was staged on Monterey
Peninsula, the objective being 'the cap
turing of Forest Lodge in the Del
Monte forest.
Troop A formed the advance guard.
Each trooper was armed with saber,
pistol, rifle and 20 rounds of ammuni
tion. The patrol consisting of Califor
nia troops was followed by an advance
party of men selected from the Oregon
troop under Lieutenant Copton. They
were followed by an advance guard of
Oregon troopers, under Captain Tib
betts. Following the advance guard
came the main body, comprised of Cal
ifornia troops.
The battle lasted 45 minutes and was
keenly appreciated by all the contestants.
The Oregon troop was selected from
all the militia organizations to do the
advance guard work because of its pro
ficiency, and received a good deal of
praise for its success in today's battle.
BRITISH ARMY GROWING
LORD LADOV: SAYS S3 DIVI
SIONS AT FRO-N'T MMMKR 440,000.
Voluntary Enlistment System Said to Be
Inutlafactorr, One-Third of Re.
crulta Being; Married Men.
LONDON. July 13. "The six divisions
of the British army that went out at
the outset of the war have been fol
lowed by others, and yet others, and
unless 1 am mistaken we have 22 or 23
divisions, approximately 420,000 to 440,
000 men, at this moment In the regular
theater."
Lord Lansdowne made this statement
in moving the second reading of the
national registration bill in the House
of Lords tonight- He added that all
during the war Secretary Kitchener
had been recruiting his armies and
the stream of men has been grow
ing in volume. The stream of equip
ment did not flow as satisfactorily, but
prodigious efforts had been made to
remedy the errors, and he was glad
to think that those efforts had been
attended with a considerable amount
of success.
The bill, said Lord Lansdowne, was
not intended to introduce compulsory
service, but if compulsory service ever
becime necessary a national register
would greatly assist in introducing It.
He expressed the opinion that the vol
untary system would not much longer
be tolerated by the country. A third
of the men now serving were married
men.

POTATO SCAB IS REPORTED
Agricultural Experiment Station
Finds Disease in Tillamook.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
Corvallis, July IS. (Special.) Sponeo.
spora, scab potato disease, is reported
in Tillamook County by the department
of plant pathology of the agricultural
experiment station. This is apparently
the first time that this potato disease
has been reported west of the Rocky
Mountains.
The potatoes In which the disease
was first found were grown on a far
in a rather isolated section of the coast
country, the original seed of which was
said by the owner to have been intro
duced from an Eastern state 12 to 15
years ago and that no new seed has
since been introduced on his farm.
The tubers first found affected with
this disease came from a shipment
made to the department for expert
mental study.

SALEM, Or., July 13. (Special.)
Confidence n the ability of Governor
Wlthycombe to solve the Oregon
California railroad land grant question
In a satisfactory manner, and reitera
tion of the belief expressed by the
Governor that a special sesnion of the
Legislature to consider the question la
not necessary at this time, are set
forth today In additional letters re
ceived at the executive's office from
members of the state's legislative body.
Hxcerpts from the communications
follow:
W. Ialr Thompson. Takevlew, President
of the Senate To my mind a special session
of the Legislature la not necessary to take
car rf the land grant question. It will
be plenty of time to call a special Milon
after ConsTvas has convened and acted and
we have learned whether It has passed over
any duty to the state. If at the opening of
the Kail session of Congress a law snuuta tre
enacted nut tin a uit to the Ptste of Oregon
some right or duty In conr.erlon with the ap
position or tie crant lands, then the nressit v
for immediate action ojr the Legislature
could be considered. tTnder no consldera
Hon should a seasion be called for the pur
pose of attempting to buy these grant lands
for the state, as seems to have been pro
posed by certain Impractical gentlemen. The
great rlerldrat um Is to have these land de
veloped and turned Into honvs. which will
not be accomnltshed with either state or
Federal ownership thereof.
Mr. Hollla Give Opinion.
W. H. Mollis. Senator, of Forest Grove-
While I am ready at any time to devote
whatever time may be necessary In a spe
cial session of the Legislature to memorial
ize Congress or submit such resolution ex
pressing the will of the people of Oregon.
or to consider propositions for the amend
ment to the constitution to enable the state,
if after due investigation it is thought wise
to make an effort to take over the land
grant from the Oregon A California Rail
road Company, yet I do not believe that the
people of the state think the matter of suf
ficient Importance to Justify a special ses
sion at this time. ... 1 believe the
state will reap as great a profit from the
sale of the land by the railroad company
direct to the settler In increased aasessable
value. In added livestock and other property
Interests, through the actual settlement on
these lands, a though the state bought It
st an acre and resold at '. 7 or
S10 an acre, or at such price as might be
considered a reasonable value.
W. J. Vinton. Senator, of McMlnnvIne I
can see: no reason vhr an extra session
of the Legislature should be called. 1 am I
willing to leave the proposition to you ana
our delegation In Congress. Yon can count
on my assisting you In your plans for th
development of the state.
Dr. Andrew C. Umlih. rtepreseoteu. i
Portland There do not eeem to me to be
a necessity for an extra session at this time.
Possibly after Congress b.aa taken special
action In the matter it might be well to
o.v a special session.

ADMINISTRATION CHANGE IS MADE
AT CORVALLIS.
Action to Clear l's Baataeaa lacladea
Halting; Salt Aaalnst Railroad to
Forfeit Franchise Bond.
CORVALLIS. Or, July 13. (Special.)
The new members of the City Council
last night took office, succeeding the
members ho have served for two
years. - The retiring officials are:
Messrs. Leder, Johnson. Stevenson,
Leady and Cooper.
Their successors are Messrs. Fran
cisco, Wagner. Barnett. Itandeau and
Howard.
The old Council before turning over
the office to the new Council finished
all old business. The only measure
which required much time was the
franchise granted the Portland. Kugene
& Kastern Hall road some three years
ago. The road asked Corvallis for a
franchise over First and Van Huren
streets on the promise to electrify the
line. The City Council ordered the
franchise declared void and the $5000
bond forfeited.
The railroad upon receiving notice to
this effect paid to the City of Corvallis
all back taxes which were due and of
fered to electrify their railroad into
this city, asking for a franchise from
Ninth to Van Buren to Sixth to Wash
ington to Ninth, and back over their
right of way. on condition that the city
would drop its suit to recover the $5no0
bond. The Council ordered the City
Attorney to file suit against the rail
road for the amount. The old Council
men before turning their offices over
to the new members ordered the suit
stopped, giving the railroad an oppor
tunity to fill its promise.
The new Council elected Mr. Harnett
president. Mr. MiddJekauf attorney, and
Fred Porter city engineer.

There remain 11212 to be raised to

This latest addition to the fund has
beets most encouraging to the officers
of the Charities, and they have entered
the campaign to raise the remaining

ness, believing that the people of Port
land will be liberal in their contribu
tions when they realise the pressing
need.
Scores of cases each week reach the
Charities for help and the relief makes
a heavy and steady drain upon the re
sources of the organization, which
were greatly reduced by tha pressure
of an exceptionally hard Winter for the

ington. July 13. Kvca before work la
started on the new postf.fflce building
at I'urlland. a building of a type never
before erected by the liovernmrnt. the
Treasury Department is contemplating
tha erection of similar modern office
buildings in some cf the larger cities
of the Last. In llm cf the olj Creek
temple type that has been followed by
tiovernment architects for year a. Yet
when Senator laot, fif Oregon, first
suggested that the tiovernment erect a
tnwlttn, light and airy office building
la accommodate the postottice and other
Federal officials in Portland, the then
supervising architect let out a protest.
Although plana for the Portland build
ing have not been completed, the more
Treasury officials hae thought of Sena
tor Lane's suggestion the inure strong
ly it has appealed. especially as
nts the situation in certain of the larger
cities, where land Is high, sites are
scarce, where the business section la
congealed and where private capital
builds skyscrapers bec arise It cannot
afford to Invest In squatty buildings.
The old type of Federal building was
designed to be a monument aa well as
a Government office building. The new
type la designed primarily for use.
The new Idea has had the approval
of Assistant Secretary Newton and of
Secretary McAdoo. the former having
direct Jurisdiction over the construction
of tiovernment buildings.
The Treasury Department also here
after will construct postolllces and
other Federal 'buildings In accordance
with the needs and Importance of
places where they are situated. Instead
of spending all that Congress appro
priates. In some instances expensive
postoffleea have been built In towns
