OftEGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Jan. 20. Water-power legisla
tion seems to have fallen a victim to
the "we - will - and - we-won't policy"
which President Wilson once asserted
Is delaying: progress In the United
States. The prospect for the final
enactment of any sort of workable
water-power bill before the 4th of
March is regarded as remote, and it
would not be surprising if Congress
failed utterly to enact any sort of
water-power bill.
j.aie aiscussion in the Senate over
the Myers bill shows exactly how the
we-wm-ana-we won t policy is work
ing out. The Myers bill is & substitute
lor the Ferris bill, passed by the House
last session. It is a more liberal bill
than the Ferris bill, and its supporters
contend that it will both encourage
and invite development of water-power
on the public domain. But the oppo
nents of the bill are divided into two
classes, those who, standing with Mr.
Plnchot, contend that the bill goes too
far, and those who take the opposite
view, and maintain that the bill does
not go far enough. And unless there
can be some ground of compromise the
bill is threatened with ultimate de
feat, because its terms are not tho
roughly understood, and because the
ultra-conservationists and the ultra
antis refuse to get together.
Jinny Follow Plnchot.
Those Senators who accept Gifford
Pinchot as their guide regarding all
conservation legislation have assumed
a dog-in-the-manger attitude, and de
clare that they will kill any water-power
bill that does not have the sanction of
Mr. Pinchot. They are unwilling to
concede that there is any flaw in Mr.
Pinchot's argument, and they are not
at all impressed with the statement of
big men that there will be no develop
ment under a water-power law such
as Mr. Pinchot advocates.
Many Western Senators have been
aroused by the attitude of the Pinchot
ltes in the Senate, and say they would
prefer no water-power legislation to a
bill of the Pinchot type, which they
maintain will accomplish nothing. They
assert that the enactment of a law
wiiich imposes conditions which capi
tal can not and will not meet is a
mere waste of time, and worse, because
once such a law goes upon the statute
books it will take years to demonstrate
that it is unworkable, and In conse
quence the enactment of a workable
law will be postponed until there has
been a change of public sentiment.
Bill Regarded as Radical by Some.
1 The fact that, some big men promi
nent in water-power development have
asserted that they will proceed with
new projects. If the Myers bill is en
acted, will swing into line, back of that
measure, some of the Senators who be
lieve that even the Myers bill is too
drastic, but this fact will not bring
to the support of the bill the more
radical advocates of a liberal law. Of
course the Myers bill has the support
f not a few Senators who believe in
it, and who are disposed to regard it
as a middle-of-the-road bill that at
least deserves a trial.
Passage of the Myers bill by the
Senate, or passage of that bill in some
emasculated form will not insure the
final enactment of the bill, for it will
go to a conference committee, where
an attempt will be made to adjust the
differences between the Ferris bill
which the Senate will not accept and
the Myers bill, which the House will
not accept. Whether any compromise
can be reached by a conference com
mittee is extremely doubtful. The
Shields bill, regulating power develop
ment on navigable streams, went to a
conference committee last session, an?
In that committee the House stood out
for the Adamson bill while the Senate
Insisted on having the more liberal
Shields bill. There the conference com
mittee deadlocked, and its members re
port that it is practically out of the
question to expect any compromise, be
cause neither body is ready to yield
to the judgment of the other.

URIC ACID
An Enemy in Ambush
(BY DR. M. C. LUCAS.)
It was not until the discovery by Sir
Arthur Garrod, in 1848, that the blood
of gouty patients contained uric acid
in an excessively lary amount, that
much attention was paid to this sub
ject. Later scientific men learned that
in gout (also true In rheumatism) the
kidneys do not work properly to throw
off the uric acid poison; consequently
uric acid crystals are deposited in and
about the joints, where an Inflamma
tion is tset up in the nearby tissues.
When for any reason the circulation is
sluggish, as in the joints of the toes,
crystals formed from uric acid are de
posited there, and one suffers from
gout; or, when deposited in the tissues,
one suffers from muscular rheumatism
or articular rheumatism. My only med
icine to counteract the uric acid and
to throw it out of the system ls tab
lets of Anuric (double strength), three
times a day.
The pain In the back, lumbago, pain
in the neck, creaky Joints, stifness In
muscles, have all been proven to be
caused by uric acid poison in the blood
and tissues. The kidneys soon become
diseased, then there often follows dls
case in the muscles of the heart.
Kidney disease carries away a large
percentage of our people. What la to
be done? What can the ordinary person
do to properly balance bodily health?
. The answer is easy. Eat less meat, eat
coarse, plain food, with plenty of vege
tables, drink plenty of water between
meals and take an uric acid solvent
before meals for a while, such aa Anuric
(double strength), obtained at almost
any drug store. It was first discovered
by Dr. Pierce, of the Surgical Institute
in Buffalo, N. T. Most everyone trou
bled with uric acid finds that Anuric
dissolves the uric acid as hot water will
dissolve sugar.

FOUR STEAMERS ARE SUNK
One British and Three Xentral Ves

LONDON. Jan. 20. The sinking of
four steamers, one of British and three
of neutral registry, was announced to
night by Lloyds. The Britisher was
the steamer Nausea Court. The neu
tral steamers sunk were the Spanish
Parahyba and the Norwegians Maritetta
Di Giorgo and Asp.
The British steamer Nailsea Court, of
2152 tons net, was last reported as ar
riving at Marseilles on December 14
from Cardiff. The Spanish steamer
Parahyba, 1887 net tons, arrived at Liv
erpool on December 11 from Barcelona,
according to latest reports. The Ma
rietta Dl Giorgo, of 988 gross tons,
was last reported arriving at Newport
on December 22 from Preston. The
Asp was last reported sailing from
Havre on January 4 for New Tork. She
measured 1100 tons net.

Ambassador May Be Delayed.
Whether the Administration intends
to delay sending Ambassador Fletcher
to Mexico City until after the Amerl
can troops come out has not been defi
nitely indicated, but it has been pointed
out that the stationing of an ambassa
dor at the Carranza capital might be
construed as sanctioning certain acts
of the de facto government agains

DRYTOWN PASTORS QUIT

Last of Four Ministers of Wet Days Re
signs Because He Could Kot
Make Living Expenses.
MAEYSVILLE. Cal.. Jan. 20. (Spe
cial.) When Wheatland voted dry
about four years ago me dry advocates
argued that a dry Wheatland meant an
empty Jail and a constable with noth
ing to do. Their predictions were ful
filled and in addition dry Wheatland
has meant empty churches in Wheat
land. ,
Four pastors, each in his pulpit
talked to big congregations before the
town went dry. Today the last of the
four pastors, F. J. Mattson, of the
Christian Church, quit. He could not
make a living in Wheatland.
Dry workers declare in a dry town
preachers are not needed. The wets
say they'd starve to death if they re
mained. But. anyway, for the first
time in the history of Wheatland no
church will have a pastor Sunday.
