Washington. Dec. 16. Though foreign
A born children, of Uea parent who hava
Wmerely ' declared their .intention to be-
given me protection onerea oy ins im
migration laws of the country, there Is
no such protection provided for the for
elgn born children of naturalised citlr
sens, according to the tenth annual re
port of Charles Nagel secretary of
commerce and Jabor. Secretary Nagel
aays that though the immigration laws
are silent with respect to these foreign
born children, it is the understanding of
the department that to deprive them of
protection would be a result manifestly
not intended, bo that a liberal policy of
; administration in such cases has been
followed. ', ,7 .' :;
The report further suggests that the
arbitrations between railroads and rail
road men have probably reached a point
. at this time where it will be found fea
sible to create a board of conciliation
and arbitration, such a board to be
named, by th president and confirmed
by the senate. At present the commis
nloner of labor is a member of the
board to arbitrate disputes between rail
road men and railroads, and the work of
: the latter poaitlon has become so absorb'
ing that some relief is asked for. The
board of arbitration is offered as a pos
sible way In which to settle the ques
tion. - i
. As set forth In Secretary Nagel'a re
port 'the total appropriations for the
department for the fiscal year ended
; June 80, 1912, were 115,914,805.23, which
was $238,185.35 leas than the appropria
tions for the previous fiscal year. The
working force of the department la
placed at 9964 persons, a reduction . of
I 44 since tna previous year. ,
avr The report aummarliea a number of
measures of essential importance to the
effective organization of several
branches of the department, which were
enacted during the present admlnlstra
tlon. Among these is the law which
authorized the organization of a bureau
of lighthouses. Secretary Nagel refers
to the consolidation of the bureaus of
manufactures and statistics under the
name of the bureau of foreign and do
' mestlo commerce, as a matter of greater
importance, inasmuch as this bureau
. will -be in a position to provide govern
mental assistance, similar to that glvea
In other countries, for the nation's com
mercial and Industrial Interests.
Important legislation has also been
enacted for the regulation and control
- of wireless messages, and in addition
congress has required two wireless
. operators for every ship carrying 50 per
sons or more on trips of 200 miles by
sea or on the Great Lakes.
Stress is placed on the importance of
,4he law which has been enacted to carry
the seal treaty into effect. It is urged
that further treaties looking to the
preservation of sea life be not discour
aged. Actual count shows that the num
ber of breeding seals has been almost
; doubled because of protective legisla
tion. The report urges that steps be taken
to improve the facilities for collecting
statistics In imports and exports. Care
is advised In the matter of proposed leg
islation for the creation of a trade com
mission. The commission la advised if
tit , Is clearly provided that It shall be
oniy for the purpose of giving federal
control to large industrial and commer
cial organizations. The fear is that the
power of the proposed; commission will
be allowed to Include other activities.
' . It is argued that the transportation
of dangerous articles on vessels, more
especially automobiles on ferryboats,
should be more carefully guarded than
Is possible under the existing laws. Ad
ditional compensation for lighthouse in
spectors Is recommended.
Secretary Nagel'a report Includes de
tailed reports of the work of the sev
eral bureaus of the department
Centralis Mines Work Full Time.

mines are shipping 1000 tons of coal

week increased to 225 men.
(A mirth maker In the shape of sn
anecdote is that now going the rounds
In coUncllmanlo circles. The council
man on whom the Joke is being told
is one of the very best young reformers
in the council. . In fact his hobby is
reform, whether it be-in granting a
million dollar streetcar franchise : or
Issuing a pop corn license. ' i ' ;'1
The other day this councilman Intro
duced "a : new ; liquor trafflo ordinance
that would, if it had passed, made the
average saloonkeper , look as Jolly as
the head of a family paying Christmas
bills. The ordinance revised the present
liquor code fore and aft and In the mid
dle. In short it was calculated to make
a Portland liquor dealer believe a pro
hibition state a national paradise. One
of the provisions of the measure abol
ished the free lunch.
Keasnie Promptly ZUU4.
When the ordinance, came up for Its
first reading last Thursday it was
killed without its being given a chance
even to be deferred to a committee for
investigation..1
But last Monday the saloonmen of the
city did not know but that the measure
might, pass.
Monday morning, the author of the
WOMEN CLAIMANTS TO ,
'r, THROVE TRY SUICIDE
(United Pre Leased Wlre.t
Paris. Dec. 16. Declaring themselves
to be the descendants of Louis XVI un
justly deprived of their rights two mid
dle aged women attempted to commit
suicide by shooting themselves In the
fashionable Champus Elyses near the
president's palace. They declare they
are the descendants of the Dauphin, son
of Louis XVI. who wfir kept prisoner
in the temple after the execution of the
king in 1793, and that they have sougnt
in vain to obtain recognition of their
claims to the French throne. Inquiries
show they are insane. They formerly
kept a millinery store at Nantua, but
ruined themselves by demolishing their
premises in search of burled treasure.
Falls City Taxes Lower This Year.
Falls City, Or., Dec. 16.-r-Taxes are to
be lower in this city next year, according
lo the new levy made by the city coun
cil. The general levy is 4 mills and the
special levy 6 mills; last year the total
was 15 mills. The school tax will be
the same 4 mills as last year. -
late measure, in company with several
other councilman, made a trip of in
spectlon over some city streets in an
automobile. On the return tq the busi
ness district the party passed. a down
town buffet from which an appetizing
odor of roast beef emanated. The au
thor and a fellow councilman disem
barked and retraced their steps to the
place. .
It was noon hour In the "milionalre's
club." Savory viands arrayed on the
lunch ' counter of the buffet met the
gaze of the hungry duo as they entered.
They lost no time in sampling the
wares so invitingly displayed,--The
author was particularly assidu
ous in his attentions to the succulent
r ast beef and other luncheon aoces
sorles. After he had tried a little of
everything he came back and got an
other Juicy roast beef sandwich. With
this brandished in his hand he was in
vited to the bar by his confrere to have
a drink.
Bartender Joins tn.
This fellow lawmaker then started
out to have a little fun at the author's
expense. Thus he accosted the bar
tender, whom he knew: f: t
"Well, I 'guess' there'll be no more
free lunches after next council meet
ing." "No, thanks to that big fatheaded',
psalm singing fourflusher who , calls
himself the father of that blankety
blank new liquor ordinance," retorted
the drink mixer heatedly. "1 suppose
we'll all lose our Jobs, too."
"Why, is it possible' asked the Joke
ster, innocently, "that you refer to
Councilman So-and-So?"
"Yes, that's the 'gink' J refer to!
was the bartender's rejoinder. .
He started to detail some other Im
pressions that he had gathered when
he observed a large man nervously
clinching and uncllnching one great fist
and Jnendlng across the bar a dark
scowl. He was the author in question.
What he might have done can only be
imagined, for, as he made a half swing
with one fist he glanced at the other and
his Jaw dropped. The other councilman
broke forth into'a wicked laugh. The
hand still held an unfinished portion
of a fine large sandwich. The bartender
Is still wondering what was the Joke.

Bread
is like all good things it costs more to 'produce, consequently it costs the grocer
more than ordinary bread therefore sometimes grocers attempt to "palm off a
substitute."
Insist on getting "Nil-Stile" when vou are buying bread, and if
your grocer won't supply you, call up
MAIN 1790 or A-1790 and we will give
you the name of the nearest grocer to
you that values your trade enough to give
you what you ask for, and not try to
palm off the "just as good" kind that he
makes a little more profit on.
