T " This convention is linked in many
wavs bv Its terms to the covenant o
S the league of nations and I think it
desirable to make it perfectly plain
that the character of Us members and
r the method of adherence should be the
;aame in the one case as in the otner.

" "He then offered the following reso-
" lutlon. which was unanimously adopted
bv the conference
""The conference authorised the
drafting committee to take such amend
- menta as may be necessary to have the
.'convention conform to the covenant oi
tha leaane of nations in the character
of its membership and in the method of
adherence.1
"In pursuance of this resolution the
--following changes were maae:
; 'Article 1 of your committee's re-
-port, together with the first two clauses
' of your article 35. together with article
Ss. have been comblnea as article dai
-of the treaty to read:
i 'A permanent organization Is hereby
; established for the promotion oi ine
objects set forth in the preamble. The
original members of the league of na
i 'tlona shall be the original members of
this organisation and herearter mero
! bership of the league of nations shall
I carry with it membership In the said
organisation.
! "As you doubtless nave In mind, the
changes have the effect of giving the
British dominions and colonies separate
: .renresentation on the general confer
; ence. When you give your final judg-
ment on the importance of these
.' changes. I earnestly urge you to en
tertain the following considerations:
"1. That Borden could not go back
I to the Canadian people, who occupy a
'. position of considerable Importance in
the industrial world, and tell them that
! they were not entitled to represent'
tion on the general labor conference
, at Versailles.
rhaagea Held lalmportaat.
I "I. That the changes did in fact
trim the labor convention Into har-
inony with the league of nationa cove
! nant.
"3. That tha changes are not sub
i atantially important, inasmuch as every
labor convention adopted by tha con
fereuce must be submitted to our gov
I .eminent for ratification. Thus, the
choice of acceptance or rejection Ilea in
our hands, irrespective of the const!
tutlon of the general conference.
"4. That the problems of the chief
; 'British colonies and dominions are
much more like our own than like
) lireat Britain's, so that their repre-
' sentation will be a source of strength
to our point rather than an embar-
Tassment.
"i. That In my opinion the changes
do not introduce any weakness or
threat of any particular weakness Into
the labor provisions. They will stand,
thanks to your efforts and guidance, as
lone of the progressive achievements of
-the peace conference, something from
which peoples the world over may take
courage and hope and confidence In a
better future.
"1 am sure that yon will agree that
nothing could be more fatal to these
first aspirations than any failure to
indorse these provisions. I count upon
your support and sponsorship."

" PARIS, June II. The reported for
'mation of a coalition cabinet in Ger

Count von Bemstorff as foreign min
ister gave rise In conference circles
today to the expectation that the new
ministry would attempt to obtain mod
ifications of the peace conditions be

Dr. David has been known as a chau
vinist socialist and more conservative

trlcts gave the most favorable votes
for the bonds. Alameda led In this re
spect with a vote of 65 to SO In favor
of the issue. Rose City district voted
SI to 57 in favor of the bonds, while
Laurel hurst cast 61 "yes' votes, as
against 35 "no" votes.
Vote Is N'orts Light.
Among the unexpectedly light votes
that came aa a surprise was the James
John district, which was scheduled to
have profited much through passage
'of the bond measure. But 21 votes
were cast in the district on the bond
measure and 6 of these were "no.
There was remarkable lack of inter
est in the election in many voting pre
cincts. Interest seemed at lowest ebb
in the more central districts, where
little In the way of Improved facilities
are needed. A few of the outlying dis
tricts cast very small votes, too. At
the Benson Polytechnic school but 10
votes were cast for directors and but
8 on the bond Issue. All of the latter
were atainst the bonds. At the Atkin
son school the total of ballots for di
rectors was but 14. Nine voted here on
the bond issue, eight of them disap
proving the issue. At Wlllbrldge and
Linnton. among the disinterested out
lying districts, 10 and 15 votes, re
spectively, were cast.
Failure la Deplored.
The success of the bond issue would
not have enabled us to make permanent
provision for housing the children dur
ing the coming school year." said Clerk
Thomas of the board of education last
night, "but it would have assured
proper housing during the succeeding
year, undoubtedly the board will act
favorably upon the report or the build
ings and .grounds committee, which
recommends the erection of 14 portable
bulldln
rooms
17 additional rooms for the next school
year.
"The report of the committee was
based upon recommendations and esti
mates prepared by Superintendent
Grout, and this action would have been
necessary in any event, as permanent
buildings contemplated under the bond
issue could not have been erected in
time for the opening of the school year.
The question of a special election
to submit an increased tax levy pro
posal to the voters will have to be
passed upon by the board. There is a
strong sentiment the country over
against bond issues for school purposes,
and now that the people of Portland
have gone on record in that regard, it
will be necessary to see what else can
be done toward properly caring for
children of school age in this city."
Mr. Kewlll States Position.
1 have to go on that board and
learn something," said Mr. Newill last
night upon being Informed of his elec
tion. "I am not going into office with
any Intention of tearing things up. I
will not be a party to the use of tax
payers' money for publicity work for
officers who are elected by the people,
and especially when those who are op
posed have to pay their share.
I want to do the best I can for the
school children of Portland, and the
best I can to save the taxpayers' money ,
through wise expenditures. I want
first to obtain a full knowledge of the
board's affairs, as well as a thorough
knowledge of administration of the
schools themselves. My campaign was
an open one and I will go into office
without prejudice of any Kind.

SPOKANE, Wash.. June 21. Charged
in a federal grand Jury Indictment with
registering under the draft as a non-
citizen Indian when in reality he was
born of white parents, William Henry
"Lonestar" Dietz, football coach and
moving picture actor, will be called
for trial Monday morning in federal
court here.
Testimony as to the birth and early
life of Xietz is expected to be heard,
as the government has called a num
ber of witnesses who knew Dietz' fam
ily in Wisconsin to give testimony that
he never was an Indian and assumed
the role In later years, after he grew
up.
Depositions from other Wisconsin
residents have been received for pres
entation at the trial. Among them are
two from Clarence H. Dietz and Leslie
J. Dietz of Madison, sons of John
"Cameron Dam" Diets, now in prison
at Waupon penitentiary. Wis., and al-

will testify aa to whether or not she
is the mother of the defendant.
"Lonestar" Diets formerly was coach
of the Washington state college foot

the Lutsk legislative committee tnvesti-g-atlnj?
bolshevism hopes to find much
valuable data on radical organization

Absolute Rob

Perhaps the greatest essential industry In modem progress is the
production, refining, distribution and utilization of oil products. Like
coal. Iron, copper or gold, it is substantial, but by far the most profit
able of all natural resources, owing to the small overhead expense
involved in oil operations after the initial expenditures.
This is the age of oil. with an unprecedented growing demand and
the world's visible supply of high-grade oil decreasing at an alarming
rate. Few people have even a primary knowledge about oil, and the
bulk of them are under the impression that all that is necessary is to
drill a hole in the ground and, if you are lucky, you will strike oil and
independence. In view of the fabulous profits of successful operators
and the general Ignorance of the public, human leeches using fake
stock companies as bait, are robbing the unsophisticated with oily
, generalities and gushy liquid gold promises. Millions of dollars are
being charmed from the people through cheap stocks which go to
fatten a horde of Rufus Wallingfords.
Thousands of companies have been formed that have for their
sole assets some cheap, worthless acreage near some legitimate oper
ations. These never get beyond 'the stage of rig on the ground or
promise to drilL Others go further and. to make a showing, actually
drill on ground where it would be just as sane to drill for iron, gold
or ivory. These two classes are absolute 100 per cent bunko.
Another class with perhaps faith and honesty are drilling where
they have some of the superficial indications of oil, which may or may
not mean anything. This optimtsm and inexperience Is just as disas
trous to the stockholder as the bunko net. Again, others drill on the
flanks of proven ground, which is in the real majority of instances
also doomed to failure, as the ring of dry holes around the 1600-acre
Burk-Burnctt pool evidence and the artesian wells surrounding the
famous Salt Creek pool show.
Even with a perfect geological dome, syncllne and anticline, seep
gas, saturated shales and sandstones and good indications, it is a far
cry to absolute natural essentials for the existence or the practical
production of oiL The formation of oil requires prehistoric conditions
similar to the formation of coal, or, in other words, the concentration
of a great bulk of animal or vegetable matter which has been distilled
by water and chemical actions. After a multitude of these favorable
conditions, the problem of the extent of the feeding ground, which
may not have area enough to feed a dome or cause a sufficient con
centration of oil to make it commercially practical, or again, the
oil may be too deep or too widely distributed to extract with profit.
Further, the character of the underground structure must be such as
to give the oil an opportunity to migrate to the line of least resist
ance at the bottom of the drill hole. The gaa pressure must also be
strong and evenly distributed to bring about this result. Shales or
sands with small porosity or saturation space cannot be prolific pro
ducers. In view of the multitude of considerations that spell failure In the
oil business, there is only one absolute certainty, and that Is proven
ground, which, however, by the time it is proven, is so valuable that
the small investor has no chance to get the benefit of it. As an
illustration of proven ground, will instance the Salt Creek dome in
Wyoming. Inside an escarpment containing 3400 acres there have
been 250 wells drilled in every part of the dome. In every instance
the drilling logs show the same uniform underground structure and
in every instance have the wells come in with a uniform and con
sistent production. In proven ground it is merely a mathematical
problem of what the ground will produce, which is based on the thick
ness of the oil-bearing stratas, the average saturation space of the
same denoting the volume of oiL For instance, with oil-bearing
stratas 100 feet thick and a porosity of 25 per cent, one-fourth of
thi soace would be oil. The next problem is the recoverability of
this oil. which is based on gas pressure, migration conditions and
practical experience of wells that have been producing for years.
In ground proven to this extent the profits on an acre of ground are
just as demonstrable as that in any other industrial venture and can
be computed to within a very small margin.
Anyone bearing the above general Information in mind may save
themselves some money in the future when they are approached with
glittering oil propositions. Nothing is a cinch in oil unless it is
absolutely proven ground of high grade, and then the element of
honesty of administration, adverse legislation, litigation and other
unforeseen things may wreck the most perfect opportunity in which
there may not be a visible flaw.
It is seldom in even a long lifetime that one gets a chance to buy
in a vastly profitable and flawless venture from an investment stand
point. Unfortunately, in their stock buying tne people of Portland
i have been handed gold bricks, and in many years of residence here
I do not recall a single offering with real merit and safety. That they
are skeptical and suspicious is the outgrowth of experience with all
kinds of promotion sharks, and viewed in the light of past offerings,
they are justified in stepping on anything presented on general prin
ciples. The people of Portland have been trained In a slow 4-to-8 run
along investment lines. Many of you will not understand a language or
business that eliminates per cent and talks double your money, or
5, 10 or 60 to 1 for money Invested without taking any more risk
than in any standard business. Now don't jump at the hasty con
clusion that here is where the curtain goes up giving you a chance
to get Into a big thing on a shoestring and that you are going to
have an opportunity to get rich quick. The offering I have to make
is in no sense humanitarian, but business. Further, it is very
doubtful that you can get any of it in case it looks good. In brief.
I have bought a one-tenth interest in the Chappell Oil Company of
Wyoming and Texas on a basis of real money, and lots of it. My
arrangement Is an option to pay until the first well comes in. and
whatever I have paid for I get. I will be candid and state that I
cannot, owing to the short time before me to complete the option.

take It all. So someone can have some of it on the basis that, after
they have received the equivalent of $3 for every one invested, they
are to pay me 6 of the future profits. Further, they are to give
me the first opportunity to buy their holdings in case they sell.
The Chappell Company is a Wyoming concern incorporated for
$1,000,000. None of their stock has been. Is or will be on the open
market. Their holdings and development are as follows:
Forty acres In the heart of the Salt Creek dome absolutely sur
rounded by production of the biggest kind in the history of oil.
The Midwest owns the Salt Creek dome, with the exception of two
school sections and several small tracts. Our lease is from the Mid
west Company on a straight 25 royalty basis. While there have
been no transfers in this dome, it is hard to get a line on values
there, but the Midwest has made arrangements with the state of
Wyoming to pay them J3.000.000 for the right to take the oil from
a school section. Kccles. with a 160-acre tract adjoining our holdings,
has been offered $2,000,000 for the same. The biggest producer of
high-grade oil in the world is in the Salt Creek dome. Its production
has been 1000 barrels an hour at the rate of 1.60 per barrel, which
makes the income from this well around $40,000 a day with an over
head expense of three men as watchmen, about $20 per day. Salt
Creek has one well that has produced around 1,500,000 barrels and Is
still active. It has at least 15 wells that have produced over a half
million barrels and are still gushing. Original stock in the Midwest
Company is worth around $188. that sold in 1912 for 25 cents.
E. T. Williams" wells on 40 acres outside the escarpment on the
edge of the Salt Creek dome are worth $23, to $1 first invested. This
is what our neighbors are doing and the values they represent. We
have the same thing. On the Salt Creek property we have a rig.
machinery and buildings all paid for and will drill as soon as Texas
conditions permit. For complete information about Salt Creek, which
verifies the above data. Bulletin No. 670, Geological Survey, by
Wegemann, report for 1917 on Salt Creek, can be seen at public
library.
In the Big Muddy field, the second biggest producer in Wyoming,
the Chappell Company, has 160 acres surrounded on every side by
big production. This lease was also procured from the Midwest Com
pany. In this field, like In the Salt Creek, there are around 250 wells
with never a failure of commercial production. Our neighbors there
are the Meritt, Glenrock. Midwest and Humphries, and the value of
their stocks and holdings is fabulous. On the Muddy property we
have one of the finest outfits in the field and a well down 2000 feet.
In Texas the Chappell has 10 acres in the heart of the Burk
Waggoner field, the last big pool discovery, four miles north of the
Burk-Wagonner field, the last big pool discovery, four miles north of
the Burk-Wagonner pool. To be exact, we are 1670 feet east of the
Burk-Wagonner well, 900 feet northeast of the Thrift No. 2, 1600 feet
north of the Golden Cycle, with the Texas Chief, the biggest well in
Texas, 2400 feet to the north of our holdings, and some big wells
.directly to the east of us. In other words, we are surrounded, close
up on all sides, by the best producers in Texas. For this 10 acres we
paid $12,500 per acre as a bonus to drill, and must pay a 50 royalty
besides- This ground is estimated to have a productiveness of from
250,000 to 500,000 barrels per acre. Oil in the Texas pools sells for
$2.40 a barrel. On the Texas holdings we have a well that Is down
to the oil sands. 1750 feet, and the work of standardizing has begun,
according to a telegram received Friday. Two other rigs are up on
this ground and the rotary drill has been moved from the first well
and drilling is in progress on the second hole. When this first Texas
well comes in, which is only a matter of hours, my option expires, and
no more stock can be had. Experience has shown that with a well
coming in, the stock has In every instance jumped from 5 to 30 times
its former value. The Burk-Wagonner is selling at 33 times its
former price.
Any one of the three leases in the three biggest proven pools In
the world would be a big asset for a company; the three combined
are unusual assets. As to the management of the Company, look at
Bradstreet and see who Dr. Howard Weber is and what his position
and rating is in the oil world. He is president of our Com
pany and has given his time, money and experience to get Chappell
on the map. He personally is drilling 38 wells in the Burk-Wagonner
pool and has been offered a profit of $2,000,000 on his holdings there.
Our secretary, Mr. Durham of Casper, is one of the best land and
oil lease lawyers in the west, having for years been U. S. land com
missioner, handling the oil leases for the government. M. U. Weber,
the son of the president, is manager and was brought up around oil
derricks and knows all that can be known about the practical end of
the business. Other officials of the Company are: W. C Nichol,
publisher of the Dally Province at Vancouver, B. C, and W. C.
Gregory of Pocatello. who was identified with the late Senator Brady
in big operations. All of the men connected with the Company are of
exceptionally high standing. They are all giving their time and
energy to the development of the Company without compensation. As
they own the Company, anyone interested In a small way will get
a square deal, as they would naturally take no action that was not
to their own interest.
In conclusion, will state that no one Is asked to put up a cent until
they have convinced themselves that the venture is exactly as rep
resented. Any investigation they desire to make I will pay for, even
to a visit to the properties, if things are not exactly as alleged. The
only misrepresentation possible is the underestimating of the real
merits of the proposition.
This is a matter that you can realize cannot be delayed, as at any
time a telegram may come stating that the Texas well is in, which
automatically closes my option and prevents anyone getting any of
this holding. ,

Physician Explains Secret of Strong

Great Physical Energy says
Nuxated Iron Helps Put Strength
and Energy Into the Veins
of Men. .
It is the men of blood and Iron
on a par with tho war-hardened fel
lows returning from camp and field
who will forgo ahead In the business
day. Living in the open, eating coarse Rv1t
foods and leading regular lives have p
made blood rich in Iron for these strong,
healthv. vigorous specimens of manhood.
But no such opportunity for building upa
their health is open to tnousanas oi men
and women in civil life whoso wearing
tasks and iron-impoverished food sap
their energy and make them weak,
anemic and run-down and , often cause
their blood to literally starve for want
of iron.
In commenting upon the probability
of building up a stronger race of peo
ple by increasing the supply of iron in
their biooo, ur. oeorge n. cuter, iui
merly Physician and Surgeon, Monmouth
Memorial Hospital of New Jersey, says:
"Iron is absolutely necessary to change food
into living tissue, muscle and brain. With
out, iron there can be no strong, red-blooded
men or healthy rosy-cheeked women, and
unless this strength-giving iron is obtained
from the food we eat it must be supplied
m some form that Is easily absorbed and
assimilated. Refined foods and modern
methods of cooking have robbed us of much
of the Iron which Nature intended we should
receive. For supplying this deficiency and
increasing the red blood corpuscles, I know
of nothing more effective than organic Iron

If you are not strong or well you ewe it
to yourself to make the following test:
See how long you can work or how far
you can walk without becoming tired. Next
take two five-grain tablets of ordinary Nux
ated Iron three times per day after meals
for two weeks. Then test your atrengt h
again and see how much you have gained.
Manufacturers' Note: Nuxated Iron, which
is prescribed and recommended above, is not
a secret remedy but one which Is well known
to druggists everywhere. Unlike the older in
organic iroa products. It Is easily assimilated
and does not injure the teeth, make them
