- 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

2000 WITNESS CEREMONIES
16,000 Acres to Be Irrigated
Under Project.
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.

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.

POLICY NOT TO BE CHANGED
Viscount Uchida Made Tem

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

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. The Japanese ministry, deprived of
its head through the knife of an
assassin yesterday, when Premier
Hara was stabbed tor death by a de
mented youth, was continuing to
function today under Viscount
Uchida. the foreign minister, to
whose designation as acting premier

the palace shortly after the tragedy,

Within an hour after the assassina
tion of the premier the cabinet met
in extraordinary session, Viscount
Uchida presiding. Immediately upon
the conclusion of the cabinet session.
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

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

on the opening day of the 11th annual
exhibition, November S to 12. All day
the aisles of the great barns and
pavilions swarmed with a mass of
Interested humanity. Intensified by
thousands of scurrying youngsters
bustling hither and thither in the
effort to miss nothing on their free
day of the" exposition.
On hand to greet the vanguard of
the stock lovers of the Pacific coast
who will pa.us through the doors of
the great pavilion during the next
week were 3000 of the best livestock
in the entire country, groomed for
the occasion.
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.
But in spite of all the attraction of
a free show with animals that made
it almost a circus, some few failed to
overcome the longing for a day of
freedom in the fields and niarsr.es of
the intermediate country. Cr.c hardy
