The employes had asked a flat in

The decision upholds the conten

living has fallen so that increases for
the future were not justified, but
found the employes were entitled to
an Increase over the amount paid dur

Limit Is Explained.
Explaining why the general in
crease was limited to a five months
9tiH not continued into the
future'. Judge Alschuler's
decision
says:
-Th ouestion of continuing
the
increase for the future is of course
Important. Considering It only in its
rh.tin to the cost of living, the
prices of those great basic staples
which enter so largely into food and
clothing values have for many weeks
been declining most sharply. It is
true that retail prices have not yet
taken the downward course to nearly
the same degree and in some instances
not at all. A frequent pretext is the
claim of being stocked up with the
goods at the higher prices, although
in most instances the possession of
goods at low prices was no bar, when
wholesale prices advanced, to raising
at once the goods on hand, with a
good profit on the advance itself,
(onuumrr Still Victim.
"It is no doubt true that the ulti
mate consumer is still the victim of
many unconscionable exactions. Coal
prices to the user seem to be ridic
ulously and inexcusably high, and
likewise in many cases, rent. But
notwithstanding all this, the authori
tative reports, as well as common ex
perience, seem to indicate a quite pro
gressive recession in cost of living.
This tendency to my mind strongly
foreshadows continuing and substan
tial price declines. Being so convinced
I would not be justified in now fix
ing for the future higher wage rates
based upon past or prospective
crease in living costs."

ROSEBURS JOINS FIGHT
ABOIJTIOX OF PUBLIC SERV

Order That City Pay Monthly
Rental for Fire Hydrants Is
Resented hy Council.
ROSE BURG. Or., Dec. 7. (Special.)
At its regular meeting last night,
the Roseburg city council went on
record favoring any action that will
abolish the state public service com
mission, and the city attorney Ha:
been instructed to offer this city's as
Bistance to Klamath Falls where i
move had already been made to take
like action against the commission.
The Roseburg council declared the
members of the public service com
mission have done this city an in
justice in granting certain conces
sions to the Roseburg Water & Light
company, the most important of
which is the privilege to charge- the
city a monthly rental for 52 fire
hydrants which have heretofore been
at the disposal of the municipality
free of charge, a contract between
the local water-, and light company
and the city to this effect having been
annulled by the action of the commis
sion.
The water company claims a bal
ance dueof 1300 to November 30 for
the rental of hydrants and a request
was made at last night's meeting ol
the city council for a settlement of
the account. The members of the
council flatly refused to consider the
matter and declared they would not
comply with the public service com
mission's decision.

aire and republican national commit
teeman, tenight apparently was Hear
ing an end for reports from border
towns indicated that the young
woman had been found in a Mexican
village and had agreed to cross the
line.
"Sheriff Orndorff of El Paso. Tex.,
and his chief deputy, Edward Bryant,
both reported they had Information
that Miss Smith was in a Mexican
town Just across the border and had
telegraphed Sheriff Garrett asking
that an officer be sent for her.
Conference Is Planned.
Russell Brown, county attorney and
instigator of the Investigation which
led to the search for Miss Smith, said
he would confer with Sheriff Garrett
about sending someone.
Mr. Brovi; however, was doubtful
as to whether Miss Smith could be
brought back to the United States
unless she came of her own free wilk-
because the United States has not
recognized the present Mexican gov.
ernment.
Almost simultaneously a confer
ence was held in Fort Worth between
attorneys and Miss Smith's father.
The lawyers, it was announced, ad
vised that Miss Smith, surrender ana
alaa said that they believed she would
give herself up tomorrow.
, Conversation Ik Reported.
Brown also received Information
that P. M. Ross, a San Antonio news
paper man, had said he had conversed
with. Miss Smith near San Antonio
ast night.
Mr. Brown sent a telegram to the
chief of police at San Antonio asking
him to hold Ross as a material wit
ness in the case.
A suit of clothing taken from the
private offices of Mr. Hamon was
sent Mr. Brown by Frank L. Ketch,
business manager for the slain oil
magnate, in response to the prose
cutor's request that he- receive tne
othing Mr. Hamon wore at the time
he was' shot, it was announced.
Grand Jury Action Sought.
Another development was the an
nouncement by Mr. Brown that Dr.
Walter Hardy, director of the private
sanitarium where Mr. Hamon died
hid informed him Miss Smith visited
Mr. Hamon at the hospital the day
alter the shooting. Dr. Hardy was
quoted as saying that the nurse who
was on duty left the room while the
visitor was there. Mr. Brown also
said -he had been consulted about
calling a grand jury to investigate
the shooting and that a petition, for
calling the inquisitorial body was be
ing circulated. The laws of this state
provide for the calling of a grand
jury by the district judge when a pe
tition signed by 15 qualified: voters
is filed with him.

That the storm which wrecked

vember 26. was the fiercest he. has
ever seen In these waters is the state
ment of A. Beyer, keeper of the De
struction island lighthouse, who Is in

Destruction Island, a tiny' speck of
land three miles off the Washington
cr.&st and 40 miles south of Cape
Flattery, Is 14 miles south 6f--thO
scene of the wreck, Mr. Beyer said., ,.
"The wind blew 90 miles an houo-
and 100 miles'is a. hurricane." Beyer
declared. It came up Thanksgiving
r.ight and lasted until midnight of
the nexj "day. I have seen, other
storms blb intense for. a short, period,
but never , a 24-hour sustained blow.
"In spite of the partial shelter af
forded by the two reefs the waves
drew great logs and trunks of trees
with roots 25 and 50 feet up the slop
Ins bank higher than ever Defore.
Our quarters are in the exact center
of the island, and believe me, we re
mained indoors. It was all a man
could do to keep his-feet In the wind.
Our barometer Sropped to 29.6, which
is very low for-this coast.
"The din-was terrific, the whole
Island seemed to shake before the
attack. 1 have never seen a fiercer
storm. It was a great relief when
the wind and waters abated."
As Destruction island has no con
nection with the mainland, its sole
binding- tie being the tender which
calls at , one-month Intervals, the
party did not know about the Pirrle
wreck until four days later, Mr.
Eeyer said.
, Destruction island, though DUt 33
acres in area, provides a bountiful liv
ing for Mr. Beyer and his three as
sistants, one of whom is carried. The
Jieart of the little dab of rock aad
earth is level and of astounding fer
tility, he said. A garden keeps tho
little community supplied with cab
bages, onions, potatoes, strawberries.
raspberries and other vegetables and
soft fruits in season. The island also
supports a thriving flock of chickens.
In the past there have been as many
as three cows on the island, as tim
othy hay grows waist high in the
uncultivated spaces, according to Mr.
Beyer.
Mr. Beyer has been at the destruc
ion island light, which is 164 feet
above mean high tide level, for the
lnsi two years. Previous to that time
he was at the Tillamook rock light
house. Before entering the govern
ment service he was a sailor. De

BEATS GASOLINE AT
15 CENTS A GALLON
New Invention Makes Fordn Run 34
Mile on Onllon of Gasoline and
Start Easr In Coldent Weather.
, Other Cars Show Proportionate
Savings.
- A nrw carburetor which cuts down s-aso-line
consumption of any motor, including
the Ford, and reduces gasoline bills from
one-third to one-half is the proud' achieve
ment of the Air Friction Carburetor com
pany, 870 Maiilson street. Dayton. Ohio.
This remarkable invention not only in
creases the power of ail motors from 30
to 603-, but enables every one to run slow
on high sear. It also makes it easy to
start a Ford or any other car in the
coldest weather without previously warm
ing the motor. With it you can use the
very cheapest grade of frasoline or half
gasoline and half kerosene and still Kct
more power and more mileage than you
now get from the highest test gasoline.
Many Ford owners say they now get as
high as 45 to 50 miles to a gallon of gaso
line. So sure are the manufacturers of
