EPIDEMIC IS PREVENTED
GRANGE MEETING WAITS
Leisure hours of French soldiers are
given over to competitive sports. The
"poilus" and "bleuets," youngsters and
the more seasoned veterans, respec
tively, have taken to football with
much enthusiasm and whenever op
portunity offers they stage matches.
O. de St. Maurice, manager of the
Paris branch of A. G. Spalding &
Bros., recently assisted In putting on a
match between the "poilus"' and the
"bleuets" "somewhere back of the
firing line" on the western front, but
within easy range of the German guns.
Following is Mr. de St. Maurice's de
scription of one of the "big" contests
recently held which he explains In a
lotter to Lawrence A. Spangler, man
ager of the. Portland branch of A. G.
Spalding & Bros.;
"The Colonel did me the honor to
Invite me to present the ball to the
troops. I went up with the footballers
of Paris, the sporting section of the
regiment meeting us and driving us
to the camp amidst the greatest en
thusiasm. After luncheon the game
took place.
"Imagine an immense plain. In the
center of which the football -carrer"
was indicated by a rectangle formed
of 6000 French soldiers. At one end
and improvised little grandstand, com
posed of fallen trees, had been made.
The goal posts were regimental flags,
and the army chaplain, who had tucked
up his cassock to his knees, acted as
referee and entered whole-heartedly
Into the sport.
"It was a great game, splendidly de
fended, but the 'poilus' defeated the
bleuets" in the match. After the game
we had cross-country runs and bomb
throwing exercises. The records were
fine, some of the men throwing 66
yards. All this, mind you,, while the
German guns were roaring a few miles
off.
"We had a modest banquet In the
evening and I doubt If anyone ever
spent a more interesting or more in
structive day than I. One cannot imag
ine how devoted the French officers
are to their men, how the men love
their superiors and how close the union
Is among all men under the colors."
Hal Chase got away with a clever
play In a game the other day between
Cincinnati and the Chicago Cubs. Row
dy Elliott was the goat. He loafed to
first on a pop fly to Chase. Leslie
Mann was on first at the time. Chase
dropped the ball purposely, tagged
Mann and completed a double play by
stepping on first. Can't loaf In the big
brush. Rowdy!
Despite the war and other things, the
Terminal City Kennel Club of Van
couver, B. C, has the largest list of
special prizes in the history of British
Columbia dogdom, and probably a rec
ord for the Pacific Coast for Its Spring
bench show, scheduled May 24. 25 and
26. One hundred and seventy-five spe
cials have been listed, and by the time
of the show it is expected that the list
will have grown close to 200.
From indications there will be about
300 dogs benched, with a total of more
than 400 entries. There are more than
150 entries assured from the outside,
from as far south as Portland and as
far east as Regina, Saskatchewan,
while negotiations are now going on
with Los Angeles and San Francisco
fanciers with a view of having some
of the best California dogs present.
Fearing that he may get killed If al
lowed to take part in any more fights,
the New York State Boxing Commis
sion is think seriously of barring the
English heavyweight boxer, Tom
Cowler.
Cowler has been knocked out no less
than six tiroes since the the first of
January, and in each case he took the
count In the early rounds of the bat
tle. He Is so easy for any boxer to hit
that it is feared that someone will
clout him so hard that death may
result.
STATE CONFERENCE THIS MONTH

OREGON CITY, Or, May 1. (Spe

have postponed the meeting of that
body, which was to have been held at
Astoria May 8-11 to June 12.
The postponement means that the
grange Is putting aside any oppor
tunity to cast its influence against the

foodstuffs. The reason fcr the move is
that the officers fear that, added to
the already backward season, the ab

SALEM, Or.. May 1. (Special.) The
lower court of Multnomah County was
finally affirmed today by the Supreme
court in the case of Lulu R. White,
as administrator of the -estate of
James R. White versus the East Side
Mill & Lumber Company. This is the
famous ana and "or case, and a
$6000 Judgment against the company
is upheld. The case came to Supreme
Court before, but was reversed on a
defective pleading, in which the use of
the words "and" and "or" was involved.
Going back for retrial another judg
ment against tne lumber company was
entered, this Judgment now being
finally affirmed.
When the Supreme Court reversed a
jury a decision mat mrs. White was
entitled to $7600 for the death of her
husband, because the plaintiff's plead
ings made use of the conjunction "and'
where "or" would have been the proper
word, state-wide protest was made
though most lawyers held that the
reversal was Justified.
Patrolman White was stationed
Union avenue and East Burnslde street
as traffic officer at the time of his
death, November 17. 1914. He was run
down by a truck driven by an employe
of the East Side Mill & Lumber Com
pany.
A verdict for the full amount was
not allawed by the Supreme Court be
cause the widow, in the pleadings, de
nled that her husband contributed to
his death by "negligently and care
lessly stepping back into the path of
the truck, when she should nave de
nied that her husband "negligently or

On retrial before Judge McGinn a
Judgment for $6000 was allowed.

The Navy recruiting station in the

Blackburn in April made the
remarkable showing of enlisting 1030
men, though in view of the poor show-

The campaign for Navy recruits will

CHEHALIS. Wash.. May 1. (Spe
cial.) Judge Reynolds presided at a
receivers sale of the properties of the
Chester Snow Log & Shingle Company
at Llttell, Wash., today. There were
many and spirited bidders for the prop
erty in parts, hut only two bids for the
property as a whole.
By parts, the highest bid totaled $46
475, but M. A. Langhorne, of Tacoma,
acting presumably for a company to
be formed to operate the plant, bid in
the plant as a whole for $50,000, and the
sale was confirmed by the cojrt
once. The plant is valued at approxi
mately J1Z5.000.
The new company probably will in
clude Chester A. Bnow and other stock
holders of the old company, as well as
some of the creditors. They expect to
take charge as a reorganized company
to operate the plant steadily in about
two weeks. There Is a large body of
timber available for. the use of the mill.
The sale today was conducted by Dep
uty Sheriff T. C. Foster for the receiver
and was forced by Receiver Titlow, of
the United States National Bank, de
funct, one of the heavy creditors.
In October, 1914, the property went
into the hands of O, A. Doty as reoelver
for the creditors, following the disas
trous bank failures in Centralia, which
institutions held much of the mills pa
per. Since Mr, Doty took hold of the
property he has not only kept the plant
running and bills paid, but has turned
over to secured creditors between $60,
000 and $70,000, A, A, Hull, of Che
halis, appeared as attorney looking

City Commissioner Baker turned over

Incident to the removal of the troops
from the Armory, Adjutant-General
George A. White took official notice of
an effort that had been made last week
on behalf Of some of the citizen
soldiers to have the County Commis
sioners Interfere and take over the
Armory from the military authorities
so the home guards could drill in it.
General White in a statement explained
fully the reasons for closing the
Armory in the past few weeks to the
general public and all organizations
not in active military service.
Now that the Federal troops, sta
tioned for some time in the Armory,
have been removed and placed in quar
antine, no military reasons prevent an
explanation of the action of the mili
tary authorities in closing the Armory
to drilling clubs and the public gen

II. H. Ward, president of the Oregon
Patriotic Service League, announced
yesterday that a campaign will be
started In the next few days for the
organization of branches of the league
in every county of Oregon.
As a preliminary step toward bring
ing about this organisation, letters al
ready have been written to the various
county Judges. Responses have not
come from them, however, as the league
had hoped, so more vigorous steps will
be necessary.
Active county branch leagues have
been formed in Coos County and in all
the counties from Portland south along
the line of the Southern Pacific to the
California boundary, but it is desired
to have branches also in the Eastern
and Central Oregon counties.
Nortk Bend Branch Active.
One of the active branch leagues Is
the North Bend Patriotic Service
League. The following letter from this
league to Mr. Ward outlines the work
they are doing:
Acting on the advices received from
the United States Department of Ag
riculture, the United States Department
of Commerce, the Governor of our state
and other sources, our chamber is en
couraging the cultivation of all vacant
lots within the city and the acreage in
the vicinity of the city, in order that
the local food supply may be materially
Increased and the cost of living reduced
proportionately.
Through a committee appointed from
our organization the schools of the city,
the churches and the North Bend Pa
triotic League have been induced to
take up the work, and a campaign has
been Initiated to interest the residents
of the city In planting and growing
gardens, poultry and otherwise lncreas
lng and conserving the food supply.
County-Wide Work Suggested.
"We have taken up the matter with
the county officials, requesting that
they make a county-wide campaign to
encourage the farmers and dairymen to
Increase the food production and con
serve and preserve the food products
later In the season. We have suggest
ed that the county officials make ar
rangements with the county agrlcultu
rlst to visit all parts of the county and
address meetings of farmers and dairy
men and arouse Interest and enthusi
asm In the work of Increasing the food
production.
"We are doing all possible along
these lines In the belief that the foun
dation of preparedness is a bounteous
food supply."
The Oregon Patrlotlo Service League
has suggested that a similar campaign
be instituted by all branch leagues in
all counties tm Oregon.
