WALI,A WALLA, Wash.. Aug. .
ibpeciai. Keports received Here at 6
o"clock tonight that a big grain fire
was raging at Spofford station, near
the Oregon line, created considerable
excitement and several auto loads of
fire fighters were rushed to the scene.
The fire started from a smut explosion
in the separator which had just finished
threshing the seevral hundred acres of
wheat on the S. R. Hoon farm, and was
reported out at 7:15 o clock.
The separator and threshing outfit
were destroyed and a few sacks of
wheat lost, while several acres of burn
ing stubble threatened destruction to
Bdjacent fields of standing grain. Work
of volunteers from this city saved the
clay.
The total loss Is estimated at $3000.
This was the first grain fire of th
Eeason.

WATJIA WALLA. Wash., Aug. 4.
(Special.) Walla Walla's 1917 wheat
market opened Friday and today with
several sales made at prices which are
records for this section. Threshing op
erations are generally under way, and
as the nevy crop begins pouring into
the warehouses, unusually early be
cause of desire for centralized pro
tection irom incendiaries, many owners
are tempted to let go.

Stewart Brothers sold 8000 sacks of
barley at $41. 2d. Adrian Magallon re

The total of other sales made on the

bushels.
combe decided that three men were in
sufficient to represent the 50 crafts rep
resented In organized labor in Oregon.
Another consideration was objection
made by the labor leaders to the Chief
Justice being made a member. They
explained that the present Chief Jus
tice, Thomas McBrlde, would be satis
factory to labor, but that men holding
that position subsequently might not
be without prejudice In fhelr attitude
toward labor. Consideration of these
points caused the Governor to change
the plans for the board.
"For the purpose of giving the board
the broadest possible scope virtually all
of the prominent labor organizations
and industries will be represented in
its personnel," said the Governor. "I
find that the 50 crafts are grouped into
five general divisions.
Industrial Peace la Hope.
"It is the purpose of this movement
to select representative men from the
ranks of labor and capital with the
hope that they will accept the appoint
ment in good faith with an earnest de
sire to maintain industrial peace in our
state. It is expected that the board
will meet with reasonable promptness.
organize and adopt rules and regula
tions for procedure."
The purpose of the board, that of set
tling questions arising between em
ployers and workers without strikes
or other difficulties of kindrei jiature,
if carried out, will reward a hope that
the Governor has cherished for years
long before he became Governor.
"Industrial peace in Oregon has been
my desire for years," said the Gorvern
or, "and I hope that I have found a
way to bring it about. There never
was a time in the history of our coun
try when industrial peace was more
essential than now. As a patriotic
duty, we should make every effort to
attain maximum production in every
field of industrial activity.
"This is no time for quibbling, but
a time for prompt and vigorous action
in every avenue of industry. Capital

Vt Least Two Years In College Is
Suggested by Defense Council
Which Takes Warning From
H.vperience of. Canada.
PALO ALTO, Cal., Aug. 4. Begin
ning with the present academic year
military training or physical drill will
be required of all undergraduates of
Leland Stanford, Jr., University during
the. first two years of residence and
the satisfactory completion of the work
will be a pre-requisite to graduation.
fter having completed two years of
raining the student may be recom
mended for training in an advanced
course in which the Government will
make an allowance of ?9 a month on
a written agreement that the student
will attend the Summer camp which
will be in operation after the close of
the school year.
The training of the students will be
under the direction of Major Jens
Bugge, United States Army, retired.
In a statement issued by the Coun
cil of National Defense to the members
of the Association of American Col
leges, it strongly urges that the col
leges induce students to continue their
school work until they reach the draft
age and even thereafter to continue
it until drawn for active service.
Canadians Keel Mistake.
The statement follows:
"The Canadians feel deeply the
original mistake made jn not holding
their students for later ana more
responsible work. They feel the mul
titudes of their strongest college men
were practically thrown away through
ordinary enlistment and this has al
ready brought ab'out a dearth of edu
cated leaders to the loss of the coun
try and of the carrying on of the war.
Already there is a serious shortage of
teachers and of doctors, especially In
country districts. .They report quicker
results by training students in the
universities and then In short officers
training camps than through the ordi
nary Army training.
"The Canadian government has been
co-operating with the universities in
training university teachers for mili
tary instruction and in supplying new
equipment. Three hours weekly of drill
are required of all able-bodied students
and three hours of military science a
week offered as an optional course for
which credit is given. It Is felt that
two years of military science should
be offered. Large numbers are not
necessary for effective drill. Platoons
of 20 are about as good as 50 in a
skeleton for organization of com
panies. 'Athletic Are Kept l"p.
"Competitive athletics have been
given up, but intra-mural athletics are
continued. Physical training is an im
portant part of the military drill. A
great effort is being made at the
present time to bring secondary school
graduates Into colleges. The Canadians
are now convinced that boys of 18 and
19 should be dissuaded from enlisting.
Important extension work is now being
done by the universities in this regard.
They are also doing important service
in re-educating the wounded men re
turned from the front.
"The United States War Department
Is not at present in a position to help
the colleges in the matter of military
training. An urgent request is now
going to the War Department from our
section that members of college facul
ties be admitted to the second series
of officer training camps to be pre
pared for military instruction in col
leges for i the coming year.
"It is possible that a few men may
be obtained from Canada to aid in mili
tary instruction in our colleges. Cor
respondence on this subject may be ad
dressed to Sir Robert Falconer, presl
dent of the University of Toronto."

"It seems to me eminently desirable

that steps be taken to the end that in

as possible through arbitration. If a

OST of the cases of troublesome
babies can be traced directly to
physical discomfort, due to irritation or
chafing of the tender skin. A baby
can only express its distress by crying
out; it can't always trace the cause
of the trouble, but it knows the trou-.
ble is there and signifies the fact by
lusty lung exercise. In such cases Im
mediate relief can be given to the little
sufferer b an application or two of
dantiseptic' Lotion, a preparation with
marked healing and soothing proper
ties. It is fine for relieving Insect
bites, poison oak or ivy. windburn, sun
burn, chaps, fever blisters, etc De
lightful after shaving.
Santiseptic is easily procured at most
drug stores, a good-sized bottle cost
ing but 50c. If your druggist cannot
supply It, twenty-five cents in stamps
or coin sent to the manufacturers, the
Ksbencott Laboratories, Portland, Ore
