S trative bodies," continued Mr. Lewis. "However, tlie Oregon courts have re cently upheld four decisions of the btate Board, and It is pretty well proved that the fear was groundless. It was because of that fear, in my opin ion, that several efforts to provide a board in Washington failed, but there is reason to believe such a law will be passed at the next session of the Leg islature. With Washington and one or two more states adopting this up-to-date method I believe Congress can be induced to provide the interstate com mission which will be necessary to ob tain the best results. The state and Federal water commissions would op erate exactly as do the state and In terstate Railroad Commissions, now." Mr. Lewis was notified today by George C. Pardee, ex Governor of Cali fornia and head of the California Con servation Commission, that the measure creating . the water board there had been approved by a large vote.

NOVEMBER 15, 1914. N1EUP0R IN RUINS FURXES. Belgium. Nov. 12, via Lon don. Nov. 14. Nieuport fell into the bands of the Germans at 3 o clocK this (Thursday) afternoon, according to a port brought by a wireless operator who was the last Belgian to leave the town. Ha savs that after three bom bardments only three buildings are left standing in the place. In their effort to retake the town the French bat tered the Germans mercilessly with hpavv artillery. The allies cannot advance north of Nieuport. because for miles around the mouth of the Yser the country is a swamp. It was impossible to reach JPervyse, owing to the stench from the bodies of the slain, which have re mained unburled for many days whers they fell. There are so few men avail able for the work of burying the Bel gians and German dead that these are bow being burned in large fires. Sanguinary KlEhtlnB Continuous. Fighting of the most sanguinary na ture is going on almost continually .long the line of Nieuport, Dixmude, Merekem and Ypres. If what seems to be reliable information may be credited, the Germans hold both Nieuport and Dixmude at a cost of ceaseless vigil ance and a lengthening roll of killed and wounded. Meanwhile one discerns no weaken ing in the line of the allies. Reinforce ments are coming forward regularly and marching to battle with amazing cheerfulness. Now and again the French, the British or the Belgians are accepting the challenge of the enemy and striking out desperately against them. When they do attack the Ger man aggressors the latter seem almost Invariably to yield. Your correspondent had unprecedented difficulty in j-eaching Fumes after all the correspondents there had been turned back with heretofore unmatched everity. A regiment of Belgium chasseurs had just arrived from the fighting line. Their commanding officer addressed the men, deploring their hardships and losses. Belgians Have But One Thought. "We who like to keep our strength, said he, "have but one thought. That Is to oppose the invaders until wlth the aid of our powerful allies we drive mm beaten from our land." The weary, muddy, haggard, hairy hungry remnant of the regiment broke Into a short, sharp cheer, then a band of music formed up and playing a lively march led the chasseurs off to their bivouac. Before they had gone far the roar of German artillery to the north drowned all other sounds. jowara wieuport ana Ulimude an artillery duel was raging intermit tently day and night. The bombard nient of Ypres by the Germans could hardly have exceeded the violence of their bombardment of Dixmude. Indeed, the whole line was the scene of the most stubborn fighting, with Infantry cnarging ana counter-charging. The line of the Yser River has seen within the last ten days the most ter rible encounters with the bayonet of the entire war. Frequently, the dead have been too numerous for burial. u nen tne armies, oy mutual agree ment, have desisted from fighting. wnne tne bodies of the slain were col lected and buried. The arrangements everywhere in dicate that the allies are methodically preparing for a . war of Indefinite length. . . Long; Beach Church Member Wrlte Sister He la Innocent, but Vlc--.. tlm of Situation. LOS . ANGELES, Nov. N 14. John E. Lamb, a wealthy Long Beach church member named in disclosures concern ing the orgies of an alleged organisa tion of Long Beach men, ' committed suicide-today on the wind-swept cliffs on Point Flrmin, overlooking the sea. I am crazed by reading what was said today- in the papers." Lamb wrote in a note to his sister, which was found beside his body. "I am innocent, but the victim of a situation." Lamb, who was among several men who paid fines aggregating more than $5000. went to Point Firmln early to day and took poison. Thirty men in all were arrested. Several are now serving jail sen tences. Herbert N. Lowe, who was said to have confessed, but who pleaded not guilty, will face a jury Monday in a Long Beach police court. Several of the men arrested in con nection with the alleged orgies of the society are wealthy. DISCOUNT RATE IS FIXED San Francisco to Charge 6 Per Cent on Earl -Maturing- Bills. WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.

PETROGRAD, OcL 27. (Correspond ence of the -Associated Press.) It is reported on good-authority ln Pntro. Krad that definite steps have been' taken toward r aclng a loan in the united btates. This project is regarded here with special significance bernusn Jt is the outgrowth of an agitation-for new trade relations with America. If the United States is to offer herself as a candidate for the Russian trade which Germany has lost, as is hoped by Russian merchants, it is agreed by Ilnsslan officials that sho will have to adapt herself to the Russian system of six months' credit, accomnnnind hv the placing of a fore'gn loan in the united States to cover the interest on and payment of bills to An. -iron mer chants and manufacturers. It Is such, a loan -which is being contemplated by the Russian government. NEW YORK, Nov. 14. It was said In the financial district today that no steps had been taken in regard to a Knssian loan. It has been reported from time to time since the intimation from Washington that the embargo against loans o belligerents had been removed, that funds migh. be advanced to Russia, but so far as could be as certained, any i.egotiatlons which have been undertaken thus far have been only of a preliminary nature mm You'll be surprised at how quickly and positively Zemo works.
