Tabulation Completed 11 Days After Close of Xatlon-Wide Bond-SeTI-ing Campaign Shows Every District Exceeds Quota. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. Americans responded to the call for a second lib tray war loan by subscribing $4,617, 632,300, an oversubscription by 64 per cent of the $3,000,000,000 asked and only $383,000,000 less than the $5,000, 000,000 maximum fixed by the Treasury. Tabulations completed tonight, 11 days after the close of the Nation-wide bond-selling campaign, showed that every Federal reserve district exceeded its quota and 9,400,000 persona sub scribed in the big war financing opera tion, which Secretary McAdoo described as the greatest ever attempted by any government. Half of the oversubscribed sum will be accepted, making the actual total of bonds to be Issued $3,808,766,150. Ninety-nine per cent of the subscribers will receive the amount for which they bar gained, all subscriptions for $50,000 or less being allotted in full, and those above that amount being pared down in varying proportions, ranging from a 90 per cent allowance on subscrip tions between $50,000 and $100,000 to 40 per cent for the largest single sub scription of $50,000,000. Loan la DlMtlnct Triumph. "The success of the second liberty loan, like that of the first, is a distinct triumph for the people of the United States," said Secretary McAdoo, an nouncing the loan results tonight. "It not only demonstrated their ability, pa triotism and resources, but augurs the certain success of any future loans that may be offered by the Government." The Secretary added a denial of re ports that the third loan would be solicited in January, 1918. '"In view of the large over-subscription to the second liberty loan," he said, "I am glad to say that this will not be necessary." It has been generally understood that the third loan would be so'ight prob ably in late February or ea'y March next year. J he New York Federal reserve dis trict subscribed nearly three times as much as the second district in the list, Chicago. The results in each district follow: Results by Districts. Total Subs.

OREGON CITY, Or., Nov. 7. (Spe cial.) Four hundred men are now working in the paper mills of the Crown Willamette 1'aper Company. Three paper macnlnes, caring for 75 per cent of the plant capacity, are in operation, machine No. 4 having been started this morning, joining machines Nos. 5 and 6, that were placed in opera tion last Monday. The management expects to start No. 1 machine tomorrow. The Hawley Pulp & Paper Company Is working 60 men in its machine room and auxiliary departments. About 75 of the employes of the two companies who went on strike have returned to work, and about 700 men are still out, about 125 of whom are working in Portland shipyards, many of them still living in Oregon City and making the round trip to Portland daily. - These are the latest features of the paper mill strike that has been on here since October 26. It is apparent that while the strikers, as a union organization, have not lost heart, their confidence In winning the strike has been shaken, and it Is freely predicted that the strike will gradu ally, if not speedily, wear itself out. it is no secret that the paper com panies have had their ears to the ground for months, and that they have not been caught napping, but have been prepared to cope with the situation They have a temporary hotel at the Crown Willamette plant, and are tak ing care of about 250 men there. They have succeeded in bringing in a num ber of expert workmen, some of them from the East, with the result that they have been able to place four paper ma chines 'a operation. The failure of the unions to keep the plants idle has given the companies confidence and it is reported that under no circumstances will the union leaders and agitators be permitted to return to work. STOCK SHOW OPENS 100 Head of Herefords Stalls at Lewiston. in TODAY IS GOVERNOR'S DAY Paul Clagstone, Manager of , North west Livestock Association, De clares AH In Readiness for Idaho Exhibit. . LEWISTON. Idaho, Nov. 7. (Spe cial.) "We are all ready to open the Northwest Livestock Show tomorrow. Governors' day," says Faul Clagstone, manager of the Northwest Livestock Association. Everything was In readiness Monday as far as the grounds were concerned. to start the big show, and the exhibits on the ground now exceed all expecta tions. There are over a hundred head of Herefords and approximately a hun dred head of Shorthorns now in their stalls. The sheep tents are all full, and by tonight all corrals for the fat stock will be crowded. A large force of workmen are put ting up additional pens and corrals for the fat stock, but are unable to keep ahead of the arrivals. Saturday. No vember 10, has been designated Stock yards day, as there will be a delega tion of buyers from the packers of Se attle, Tacoma. Portland. Spokane, Den ver, Kansas City and Chicago present to bid in the offerings that are being put on exhibit. Robert Nelson Is bringing from North Yakima a carload of registered Duroc-Jerseys for the Individual show, and two carloads of the same class of fat hogs for the Saturday sale. Brown Bros, have wired they have sev eral carloads of registered and fat stock swine of several breeds in transit for the opening tomorrow. The lighting system on the grounds has been doubled. "Professor Pren Moore, the Univer sity of Idaho poultry expert, will de- li er a series of valuable lectures and be available at all times to discuss and give advice on the many complex prob lems which beset the poultrymen says R. G. Bailey, who is in charge of the poultry exhibit. asked from the Emergency Board to tide the department over the remainder of the biennial period. Curtailment of shipments of grain has been largely re sponsible for the flattened condition of the inspection department's finances, the Commissioners say. although other conditions have arisen as well, to cut down the $7500 initial appropriation for the department made by the last Leg islature, which also passed the .first grain inspection law. Weighers and nspectors are said to be working- for the state at less wages than they re ceived when employed by the ware houses. It would be possible, it is de clared, to make ends meet in some manner by employing the force only at such times as there is grain to in spect, but this is said to be not feasible. the force could not be kept under those conditions. Letters of approval of the Commis sion s -move . to ask tne emergency Board for -a deficiency appropriation have been nnmeroos, and grain dealers and others who have written in have been unanimous in stating that the state should continue the department.
