again just outside the city limits west
of South Bend, completely Isolating
both cities from automobile traffic
Backed up by the highest tides of

able to run. off and water streaming
down from the hillsides turned flat
portions of this city Into swamps.
Wooden sidewalks and planks In the

Water made part of the high school

The rain brought down two big earth
slides over a paved street here and
endangered several houses on the

practically afloat this morning.
RAFT CARRIES OFF BOATS

pected, as the dikes are holding in
good shape. The Coweeman river is
also at flood stage.
The Ostrander Railway & Timber
company Bawmill at Ostrander was
forced to shut downVtoday because
the flood waters backed into the mill
pond from the Cowlitz river put out

trains by way of Vancouver and the
Spokane, Portland & Seattle railway
line to Spokane. The passenger trains

to affect flood conditions materially.
Irrigation Conference Called.
SPOKANE. Wash.. Dec. 13. To de
termine the attitude of irrigation In
terests of the state toward the Smlth
McNary bill, which would provide
J35A.O00.OO0 for reclamation projects,
an Irrigation conference has been
called for next Friday -at Yakima by
R. K. Tiffany, president of the Wash
ington Irrigation institute, he an
nounced today.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 13. (By
the Associated Press.) Some diffi
culties were believed to have been en
countered today at the conference
between Chinese and Japanese dele
gates concerning restoration to China
of the Kiao Chow-Tsi-Nan-Ku rail
way, the most Important of the sub
jects being considered In the at
tempts to settle the Shantung contro
versy. The Chinese delegates left the con
ference room in an apparent attitude
of dejection, one saying:
"We did not make the progress we
should and do not understand the
Japanese position."
It was believed that the crux of the
difficulty revolved about the question
of security that China would be able
to give in carrying out her offer to
purchase the railway and its adjacent
mines. Japan's position was said to
be that she was ready to listen to any
plan of Chinese payment, but was
anxious to determine the kind of se
curity China would be willing to pro
pose. Valuation la DlHCUsaed.
It was pointed out that the valua
tion of the railroad and mines made
during the Paris peace conference
was about $15,000,000 gold. Accord
ing to the Japanese viewpoint, this
does not Include expenditures by
Japan in the way of improvements.
It was said Japan was ready to ac
cept any fair appraisal of the value of
the property and a Japanese spokes
man said that any expenditure which
has proved valueless to the develop
ment of the property should not b
counted.
Purchase Offer Bafflea.
ft was believed tonight that if the
difficulty over the method of re-purchase
and its connection with China's
financial position could be overcome.
Japan would not insist on her orig
inal proposal for a Joint Chino-Jap-snese
management of the railroad.
Vice Foreign Minister Hanihara, a
delegate, said tonight that the Japan
ese did not understand the Chinese
counter proposal of outright re-purchase,
and that the Japanese were
trying to get more light on that ques
tion. He indicated that until the at
mosphere was made more clear, Japan
would stand on her original propo
sition for a Joint enterprise.
The Chinese delegates said, on the
other hand, that although they be
lieved the discussion of the basis on
which the road should be valued wa
concluded, they still did not under
stand the Japanese position concern
ing their purchase offer. t

in the dining room of the Lebanon

J. P. Hardy. Alias J. D. Cameron,
Is Held in Los Angeles Pend
ing Return to Roseburg.
ROSEBURG. Or.. Dec. 13. (Spe
cial.) J. P. Hardy, alias J. D.'Cam
ercn, is being held in Los Angeles,
pending extradition and return to
Roseburg to answer a charge of forg
ing and cashing checks totaling S2438.
The- name of J. E. Sawyers, county
treasurer, was signed to the checks
which were drawn on three local
banks. Hardy was an auditor, for
merly in the employ of the account
ing firm of Crandall and Roberts of
Portland, and was engaged during the
summer of 1920 In going over the
books of the county where he had ac
cess to all of the offices and where
he was believed to have procured a
number of the checks printed for the
county treasurer.
In addition to these three checks,
another for 1500 reached this city
today. This check was on a third
bank. Hardy, while engaged in this
county as auditor, it was believed,
obtained information regarding the
treasurer's methods of checking over
his accounts. The checks used were
printed during the period Hardy was
employed here. The checks, which
were cashed by Los Angeles and San
Francisco banks were released just
after the dae on which the treasurer
had received his balance and can
celed checks so that the forgeries
were not discovered for almost a
month. The signature of the treas
urer was copied perfectly and even a
protectograph of the same make was
used.
Prior to Hardy's arrest Sheriff
Starmer telegraphed a warrant to the
chief of police of Los Angeles, upon
the request of the Burns Detective
agency which located the alleged
forger.
According to a message received
late this afternoon, by Sheriff Star
n.er. Hardy has confessed and has an
nounceft that he Is willing to waive
extradition. Papers, however, will be
procured before the officer leaves to
tring him back to Roseburg.
TWO HARDY CHECKS ARE PAID
Roseburg Forgeries Realized on
Total $1768; Another Fails.
Telegraphic Information of the ar
rest at Los Angeles of J. P. Hardy,
reputed Roseburg forger, was con
tained In a message received here
yesterday by the Burns International
Detective agency, whose operatives
took Hardy Into custody at Los An
geles Monday night.
According to the Burns agency.
Hardy has confessed to forging the
name of J. E. Sawyer, county treas
urer of Douglas county, to a check
for J1500 on the First State & Savings
hnV r, t Rfiaohitrir nnd nnrthpr for
$268 on the Douglas National bank.
These checks, it is said, were pre
sented to Los Angeles banks, which
sent them north for collection. Both
were paid before the forgeries were
detected. Another check for $500 on
the Unrpqua Valley bank was re
turned to Los Angeles.

Hardy has been operating under sev
eral aliases, chief of which were J.
D. Cameron and A. D. Mills.
