WELLS. - Article I. The conference nominally for the limitation of armaments that now gathers at Washington may become a cardinal event in the history of mankind. It may mark a turning point in human affairs or it may go on record as one of the last failures to stave off the disasters and de struction that gather about our race. In August, 1914, an age of inse cure progress and accumulation came to an end. When at last, on the most momentous summer night in his tory, the long preparations of mili tarism burst their bounds and the little Belgian village Vise went up in flames, men said . . "This is a catastrophe.". But they found it hard to anticipate the nature of the catastrophe. They thought for the most part of the wounds and killing and burning of war and imagined that when at last the war was over we should count our losses and go On again much as we did before 1914. As well might a little shopkeeper murder his wife in the night and ex pect to carry on "business as usual" in the morning. '"Business as usual" that was the catchword in Britain in 1914; of all the catchwords of the world it carries now the heaviest charge of irony. Catastrophe Still Spreads. The catastrophe of 1914 is still going on. It docs not end; it in creases and spreads. This winter more people' will suffer dreadful (Concluded on race 7. Column 1.)

PROMINENT FOLK ATTEND Dr. W. JT. Kerr of Oregon Agricul tural College Makes Speech , of Dedication. GRANTS PASS. Or., Nov. 5. (Spe cial.) The waters of the Rogue river were dedicated for Irrigation pur poses at yie celebration of the com pletion of the Savage rapids dam and Grants Pass Irrigation district, when dreams of a quarter century became an actuality here today. Lining Doth banns of the river and extending far up the side of the sur rounding hills, a crowd estimated at 2000 witnessed the ceremonies mark ing the official opening of the proj ect. People from nearby towns pre dominated, though many distinguished visitors were present for the occa sion from many sections of the state and coast. Speakers of the day made their ad dresses from a specially constructed platform about 100 yards below the south end of the dam on account of the noise of the rushing water. Sev eral, pauses were necessitated by passing trains on the opposite side of the river whistling to clear the right of way from those gathered there for the celebration. Dr. Kerr Speaks. , "It is particularly Interesting to compare the growth of agriculture within the past decade with the pres ent project." declared Dr. W. J. Kerr, president of the Oregon Agricultural college at Corvallis, in the dedicatory address. "The pioneer... spirit that causes men to homestead on traots of land and to establish themselves has continued from the time of the es tablishment of our government. We can no longer increase production by simply moving to the frontier, where crops could be produced merely through labor and the use of the plow. The present outlook for agriculture demands Intensive and diversified farming. Irrigation and drainage can only open new lands, and by lar the largest of these two fields is irriga tion." The history of irrigation and the developments of modern methods were then traced by Dr. Kerr from the mere diverting of water by a little labor to the present projects en tailing the expenditure of millions ot dollars. Country la Praised. "In the Rogue river valley you have many advantages," said Dr. Kerr in closing, "a wonderful climate and a beautiful environment. I congratu late you over the present achieve ment. Not only are the people of the state interested, but also of the na tion. In this part of the country." Following the address of Dr. Kerr, Miss Althea Smith, 13, daughter of the president of the board of direct ors for the district, closed the switch at 1:15 o'clock that set the machinery in motion. Simultaneously with the contact a powder charge was fired from the northern bank of the river. A few minutes later the governor's salute ot 16 reports was given. Under original plans the switch was to have been closed by eithher Governor Ol cott or Sam A. Koser, secretary of state, who were prevented from at tending the celebration. "Irrigatton is essentially the over coming or obstacles, namely, psy chological, financial, engineering and agricultural." declared Percy Cupper. I Conel ud f d on Tage C. Column 2.) t . - V . . - ! ' Douglas County Range Curtailed ' Through Settlement, Causing . Decrease in Flocks. ROSEBURG. Or., Nov. 5. (Special.) The Douglas county Thanksgiving turkey crop is about one-third below normal this season. The long rainy spring was not ravorable for the growth of the young birds and many died, while others will not be In con dition for the Thanksgiving market. Another reason for the shortage is that the range is being gradually set tled up and turkeys are being with drawn from the hills where they have been allowed to forage in the past Homesteaders coming Jn have settled on many of the small hill farms, and as turkeys have caused many neigh borhood quarrels the proximity of neighbors has caused some of the farmers who' formerly raised turkeys on a commercial basis to discontinue this business. Indications are that the market will be very good and several outside buyers are expected to compete with the local purchasers. , The Douglas farm bureau exchange announces .that it will form a turkey pool similar to the one formed last year, except that every part of the county will be included instead of just a few of the main centers.

PEACE PLANS CONTINUED Hara Said to Have Died Without Word After He ; Was Subbed. Throne Honors Minister. TOKIO, Nov. S. (By the Associated Press.) The Japanese cabinet re signed office after a meeting; of the members held this morning. The resignation of the cabinet, which came as a direct result of the assassination of Premier Hara yes terday, will not cause any immediate change in the government, as the ministry, in obedience to Imperial in junction, will continue in office until further notice from the throne. There will be no change in the pol icy, either diplomatic or domestic, especially with the Washington con ference on limitation of armaments and far-eastern problems, acting Pre mier Uchida stated. Tolley Xot to C hange. "The delegates will put forth theli best efforts for the sake of world peace, in pursuance of the fundamen tll policies on armament limitation already laid down in the name of the government," he said. Viscount Uchida will take up the affairs of the ministry of marine, to which Premier Hara had been giving attention after the "departure of Ad miral Kato, the head of that min istry, for the Washington confer ence.

Viscount Uchida. accompanied by Minister of the Interior Tokomani. went to the palace and secured the Imperial approval to the designation of the viscount as temporary premier, which had been decided upon at the cabinet session. Scant information waa available at first regarding the identity of the youth at whose hands Premier Hara fell, but it became known today that the assassin was a son of a former member of the Samurai, or soldier class, constituting the lower nobility under the Japanese feudal system, who had been a man of Importance during the restoration period. The son, it appears, was of an erratic nature, and is regarded as a political fanatic He was arrested immediately after the stabbing. Detective Tsuna Jlms, who wat escorting Premier Hara, was badly cut on the arm and hands In disarming the assassin. Cabinet to Be Formed Soon. It seems generally assumed that the designation ot Viscount Uchida as premier was only a temporary ex pedient and there seems little doubt that the cabinet will be reconstructed within a few days. Considerable speculation as to the probable new premier is voiced in today's Tokio newspapers. The prob abilities, according to the newspaper views, appeared to point to .Baron (Concluded on Page 2.

Animals Close Wonder. Men and women passing in and out among the showing of cattle, horses, hogs, sheep, goats and poultry that covered the acres of show space paused to marvel at the great sleek brutes, that made the old-fashioned livestock of the farm look cheap and Insignificant. Great, bulky Shorthorn, Hereford. Holstein and Aberdeen-Angus bulls Isy in their warm quarters as con tented and apparently as harmless as a tabby cat at home. Porkers stretched from rail to rail of pens that seemed roomy enough to house a well-fed ele phant, and even the great rabbits In their cages seemed to have grown beyond all proportions. Show All Miracles. To the kiddies it was certainly a wonderful day, with miracles hap pening from rosy dawn till evening shadows. Thousands swarmed the highways, on foot and on bicycle, astride the luggage of motor trucks, clinging tightly to whining auto for bummed ride and packing double decked in street cars that could scarcely ring another fare.
