When Iron Grip Relaxes. Frozen in the Columbia River above Cape Horn. 1Vash.. with the wind blow ins so hard for days that a strong man is unable to stand erect, the Heamer Tahoma, Captain Charles- Nel son, awaits the breaking of the ice para with the danger ever lurking that she will be crushed like an eggshell. The captain and a email crew are aboard the boat with sufficient provi sions, ready to act as soon as the jam begins to break up. Twenty passen jrers were aboard the boat when she became fast, but they succeeded in reaching shore on ice floes the next day. A bull is aboard and the crew have to carry hay over the ice for him. Steamer Trapped by lee. The Tahoma on January E got within tialf a mile of The Ialles, Or., but was forced to turn back. For three days and nights Captain Nelson was at the wheel dodging ice floes and piloting the plucky little steamer in turbulent and icy waters. On the morning of January 6, Thurs day, the Tahoma started for Portland, picking up passengers at Hood River, ITnrierwood. Cooks and other way points. The ice was getting woree, but the pilot at the wheel was in hopes of reaching a, point below Cape Horn. Captain Nelson, worn out and com pletely exhausted by three nights with out sleep, was taking a nap in his cabin. At J P. 11 the steamer was about a mile and a half above Cape Horn, on the down-stream trip, when the ice suddenly became so thick that the Ta homa, making several inefectual plyun plunges, stopped. She could not back out, ice being so thick. Tm Women Are Fat Ashore. Two women, Mrs. Smith, of Under wood, and Mrs. Brock, of Cooks, were two of the 20 passengers. The snow was so thick that the first party leaving the boat to try to find a route to shore was lost sight of in the first 100 feet. The party had to turn back, then Captain Nelson and a deck hand went out and got within about 100 feet of the bank, when open water forced them to go upstream nearly half a mile before they could land. They went back to the Tahoma then and led a party of about a dozen safely to shore, and they walked to Cape Horn. The women and remaining pas sengers were then take ashore. Captain Nelson let all of the crew go home except Charles Kern, engineer; John Featherstone. steward, and Tom Shepherd, mate. Enough oil is left, to steam to Portland when the ice breaks. They have a trail to the bank and can reach Cape Horn for supplies. They also have on board 100 boxes of Hood River apples., so Captain Nelson eaid, "It is not so bad as it could be." Captain Nelson hopes that the ice will break up slowly and this will give them a chance to save the boat if it does not happen to be carried against a rock and crushed.

He was Representative in the last Legislature from Wallowa County. Prior to his election as sec retary, the' report was circulated that Governor Withycombe was opposed to his election. No evidence of this op position appeared when the Board met, however, and Jones was elected. To succeed Jones, Governor 'Withy combe appointed M. L. JoneB, a well known farmer of Brooks. The ap pointment caused considerable comment at the time, aa the two Jones families have been bitter toward each other for years, because of an old political feud existing between T. B. Jones, father of the deposed secretary, and M. L. Jones. Tension among the Board members was apparent when the meeting was called to order, as it was known that Booth and West would resign if Lea should be elected in place of Jones. Mr. Booth. Re-Elected President. After disposing of routine matters the Board proceeded to the annual elec tion of officers. W. H. Savage moved that Mr. Booth be elected president for another year and the vote was unani mous for him. On motion of M. L. Jones. Mr. Savage was chosen vice president. - - - - ' - Nominations for secretary of the Board were then called for, and West nominated W. Al Jones for re-election, declaring that he had made a good sec retary and was entmea to continuance in .office. The nomination was sec onded by President Booth. A. H. Lea was nominated by M. it Jones, wun Savage seconding it. On the ballot lea receivea xnree votes and Jones two. Jones. Savage and Mrs. Weatherred voting for Lea, while Booth and West cast their bal lots for Jones. Aside from the election of officers today .the board voted to appropriate $1000 for the use equally of the State Federation of Women a Clubs and the Mothers' Congress in making fair ex hibits. In proposing the appropriation West said he understood the clubs had a membership of 10,000 and that he be lieved appropriations- should be made by the board in accordance with the voting strength of an organization. M. L. Jones and Savage objected to tbe motion, but on a vote it carried. 3 to 2. At the meeting of the board last week $100 was appropriated for the use of the Mothers Congress. .

LONDON, Jan. 18. Lord Derby re ceived tbe correspondent of tbe Asso ciated Press at the war office today, and for half an hour discussed the war outlook resulting- from the Derby re cruiting scheme and the compulsory military service bill, more particularly their effect in securing the prosecution of tbe war to a successful conclusion. The talk was easy, informal and without official restraint, as Lord Derby gives the impression that he is sure of himself and not afraid to talk on subjects, officials usually avoid. Asked bow many men would come for ward under the Derby plan, and what tbe British fighting force in the field would be, be said: It is impossible to make estimates on the number of men, for if tbe Angel Gabriel made an estimate someone would be found in. the Houae of Com mons to rise and. challenge tbe estimate. Germany Completely Answered. 'But one essential thing is sure it has been a complete answer to Ger many and has shown that we will have enough men to carry forward the. war to a successful conclusion." When Lord Derby waa asked what a "successful conclusion implied ne said: "Answering that might involve lay ing down terms of peace such as Ger many s getting out of Belgium ana France and so on, which is outside of my province. But certain it is that a successful conclusion of the war means that it will be prosecuted until we have such a peace as will make it per fectly sure that there win be no iur ther war of the kind in our time or in our children's children's time. It will be absolutely conclusive and nothing short of that. "Good Licking" Predicted. Lord Derby has no doubt of the out come, and he referred to tne aouny of the rapidly expanding army to give Germany "a, good licking. ana, ne added, "it will do it, all right." The military measures taken by Eng land had been a complete surprise to Germany, he declared, first In showing the number of men who had come for ward, and then that the country naa acquiesced in the measure so thor oughly. Even those who had opposed the measure most bitterly, were care cul to say that they would obey the law, once It was enacted. Asked about the quaiity of the new men. the director of recruiting said: "if Ik of a hi eh order in physique. stamina and intelligence. We had three sizes of recruits big, medium and email but It has become a neces sity to discontinue the small size en tirely and the mediums partially and tk intellie-cnM of the new men Is of such a high order that it helps to solve the Droblera or supplying luuiuoui trained officers." Validity of Ordinance Aaserteo by De feat of Suit to Test Act En forcement to Start. SALEM. Or., Jan. 18. (Special.) The Supreme Court in a verbal decision to day denied a rehearing in the case of A. A. Thielke and others against Mayor Albee, of Portland. This was a suit to test the validity of the Portland jitney bus ordinance. The court recently held the ordinance constitutional. Plaintiffs' attorneys have applied to the Supreme Court for a writ of error to the United States Supreme Court, but have not yet furnished the bond de manded by the court before it will allow the writ. KNFOKCKMENT TO BE STARTED Two Amendments to Be Presented to Council Today. As a result of the denial of the ap plication filed by the Jitney Drivers Union, of Portland, for the rehearing, enforcement of the jitney ordinance will be started within the next day or two.

At the meeting of the City Council this morning Commissioner Daly will present two proposed amendments to the ordinance one permitting the plac ing of a solid seat on the rear left hand door of the cars, and the other wiping out the provision requiring the jitneys to confine their stops to the near side of crossings. The Jitney drivers at a recent con ference with Commissioner Daly urged him to permit the stopping amendment which Mr. Daly now presents and also asked permission to carry all the pas sengers the machines could carry. Mr. Daly refused to recommend the seating provision. MR. HOLM AN AT LA GRANDE Union County Merchants and Farm ers Hear Plea for Good Roads. LA GRANDE. Or., Jan. IS. (Spe cial.)

There are many people who believe they suffer from indigestion when their discomfort really is due to a constipat ed condition.
