COAST TO BE FOUGHT FOR La Grande Chautauqua Crowd Hears Warning That Japan. Will Join Combination to Seize the Treasuves of America. LA GRANDE, Or., June 25. (Special.) Basing his contentions upon observa tions and conclusions attained after prolonged etudy of the European war at close range, Victor Murdock, well known Progressive Kansas editor and Congressman. tonight sounded an alarm of impending war. and called upon the West for preparedness to meet the crisis he foresees. He spoke twice at the opening of the Ta Grande Chautauqua, the first time on "National Character," and tonight to a big crowd on "Preparedness." He emphasized the opinion that Oregon and the Coast will be the bone of con tention when the war he foresees comes to a reality. Europe Faces Problem. , "After this European war," said Mr. Murdock tonight, "the nations of Eu rope will face the most gigantic prob lem of unemployment in the history of the world, and will be without work ing capital. The United States has 72 per cent of the known gold of the world. The men of Europe today are strong-armed, and sopn will be in need of the capital now rh this country. "We are rich, but unarmed, and we ure soft. We might just as well face this disagreeable fact. No European nation alone will assault us. They will do It in combination. When that com bination is formed it will include Japan. We have the most dangerous coast line in the world, and the worst of that .is on the Pacific Coast. Naval and military critics know it. "The country west of the Sierras will be the bone of contention in our next war. I live 1500 miles inland, but the coast line of Oregon is the coast line of Kansas. When Oregon's hour of peril comes, and it will come, there will be no cheap, taudry 'peace-at-any-prlce' talk that will keep the sons of the Sun Flower state from marching to the Pacific Coast's defense. "My belief is that Europe will make a" pretext for war by demanding exor batant indemnities from Mexico and Nicaragua, and when they fail to pay, as they will, Europe and Japan will land and occupy in' the face of the Monroe. Doctrine, and that minute the United States will be in a nght for her life." In: the afternoon address he said three weeks ago he went to Chicago to a convention, the Progressive, that began Very nicely, but didn't end so well: that he stood before the audience a political orphan, and that he didn't know "just where he was at." 3 PORTLAND FIRMS FILE Three Other Companies Decrease Capital Stock Materially.

BANKS. Or.. June 25. (Special.) Fully a million feet of lumber were lost in the fire which destroyed the mill oi the Eccles Lumber Company Saturday, and an estimate of the loss is placed at fully $100,000 by officials of the com pany. Whether or not the mill win d re built has not been decided. M. H. Eccles. of Baker, owner of the mill, is expected here this week, when a deci sion may be announced. The mill was insured, but officials were unable to say to what extent. The mill was new and had been in operation only a few months. Shortly after completion nearly two years ago. it closed down after operating a lew weeks and operations were not re sumed until this Spring. In the mean time' a planer was added. The plant was equipped with the latest, and most modern machinery. How the fire started is a mystery. It was first observed about the cen ter of the mill and before any steps could be taken to check the flames. It has spread throughout the entire mill. The Eccles Lumber Company owns several mills in the state. This is the second lose they have sustained within a few months. Last Winter their prin cipal mill at Baker was destroyed, but has been rebuilt. - People of Banks secured the estau- lishment of the mill there by raising a subscription bonus. Its lose will be a blow to the town. LOGGING ROAD IS RUSHED Wjnoocha Timber Operations to Be Started In September. HOUQUIAM, Wash., June 25. (Spe cial.)

Lumberlnc Concerns at HJdsefleld, mnd Other Industrie. Hampered by Sudden Rise. RIDGEFIELD. Wash.. June 25. (Spe cial) Backwater from the Columbia has raised Lake River the highest it has been in six years and has compelled the H. J. Potter Lumber Company and the Bratlie-McClelland Shingle Com pany to close their plants. The tie loader operated here by the Lewis River Boom & Logging Company also s idle. Nearly two-thirds of the Ore gon & Washington railroad company's spur is covered with water and yes terday the local agent received notice that no more switching will be allowed until after the water recedes. Some damage is being dosm by the high water. The warehouse operated by the RidgefleJd Transportation Com pany has been 'lifted from its founda tions and is floating around. The Mel- lake warehouse, adjoining, is being oosened from its foundations. The II. J. Potter lumber yard ts isolated by water, which lacks only 18 inches of flooding the lumber office, opposite the shingle mill. A large grain field be longing to William Ahrens. just west of the depot, is submerged and the crop will be a total loss if the water is on it very long. Yeeterday about 30 head of cattle belonging to J. Davis, a cattle buyer for the North Portland stockyards, were taken from the bot tom lands, which are flooded. People living on the higher sections of Bachelor .Island. which is not yet affected by the present rise, are pre paring to move should the river raise much higher. i Dairying on the low lands between Lake River and the Co lumbia from this place to below Fellda will soon be halted by the high water. This will mean a big loes for the dairy men as it is more profitable for them when pasturing on the rich bottoms. COFFEE CLUB DISBANDS No Further Use Found for Organ ization at The Dalles.
