Risking the Uvea of hts family and others In the oar to prevent what seemed like an unavoidable collision with another car, "W. B. Cooper, while coming home from Eugene early Sunday evening, drove his car into a covered ditch. All the occupants were thrown out but none was injured beyond a few scratches. The car was taken from the ditch apparently uninjured. The accident occurred at what Is known as the second grade crossing this side of Eugene where there is a dangerous bend in the road. Two other cars going in opposite directions had' stopped, completely blocking the road. Not anticipating such an emergency, the Cooper car, which was following close ly the car going in the same Direc tion, was placed in a dangerous pre dicament. Mr. Cooper took the wheel from Mrs. Cooper, who had been driv ing, and attempted to pass the cars by crowding into the bushes beside the road. The bushes, however, had grown over a ditch, into which the car dropped. Besides Mr. and Mrs. Cooper and two children. Miss Ruth Johnson and Mrs. C. E. Frost were in the car. A car was sent from here to bring the party into the city. Prepared Schedule For Student Body Faculty of Hood River High School Has Flan to Be Followed, and Same Is Submitted to Patrons. Hood River, Or., Oct. 28. The fac ulty of the Hood River high school pur poses to regulate the social life of the student body and has decided on the following schedule, which is being sub mitted to the patrons of the school for their, approval: "Each clans shall be entitled to have one party during each semester; that a picnic or sandbar party may be substi tuted for the indoor party In one semester. "Each clas may invite the mem bership of one other class to one of the two parties during the year.

In the time of sorrow too great to be endured alone the people are throwing themselves more and more upon the bosom of the church.

Vienna, Oct. 6. (By courier to Rome, thence by mall to New York). Vienna is a city of lost hope, of gloom, of gray despair. The once gayest and most beautiful capital in Kurope is today the saddest, the most distressed. Silent, hopeless protests against the horrors of the war which has turned this wonderful, joy ous place Into a melancholy sepulchre for the living come from every stratum of society. I have seen a procession of 490, mothers whose husbands died in Ga licia, carrying in their arms their fatherless babes. They filed past the great cold ministry of war. It was their mute appeal for peace. I have seen a procession ef little children, nlaintive and futile emis saries of life, silently protesting against needless death. Arrest Betnming Troops. I have seen trains arriving every one crowded to suffocation with the wounded and dying. From the midst of these maimed and mutilated, sick ened and suffering men, I have seen uncomprehending soldiers, dazed by the horrors of war, crazed with joy at being home again, dragged from their companions and placed under arrest Their crime? Why, in their delirium ' of excite ment they had cried out curses against one which moves the Viennese to de spair. I talked with one of these wounded soldiers as the car in. which he was being carried stopped in front of the Burg theatre for repairs. He told me in whispers, while the guards were busy with the car, of the frightful ravages made by the Russians and Servians on the Austrian forces. Dead Buried In Xaps. "They have buried our dead in heaps," he said, tears coursing down his face. "They were killed like sheep driven to a slaughter yard. The Rus sian artillery has done unbelievable things. "The Russians waste their ammuni tion as though it were as free as air. Their infantry is not good, but how terrible is their artillery how terrible!" The spirit of patriotism among the Vienniese amounts to Its highest, as these wounded men are being conveyed through the Btreets. Before the war ministry, beside the monument of Marie Theresa and of Prince Schwar senberg, the cannon and arms cap tured from the Russians are on view. The people never tire of caressing them. The meaner signs of Austrian success are like gleams of hope in a leaden sky of despair. The churches are constantly filled with women and children praying for husbands and fathers and brothers The feudal prince who !s among the richest men in feurope has subscribed 20 crowns, or only $4. Everywhere one, hears criticism of the aristocracy, of the high nobility. Their avarice and selfishness, the peo- pie say. are traditional, but the publio had believed that in such an hour even their tightened purses would open. The emperor does not conceal his anger against these grasping members of the upper classes. Judgeship Question Becomes Perplexing Marshfield, Or.. Oct. 28. A peculiar situation exists here regarding the supreme court! decision -that county ludees shall serve two years more. John V. Hall is the present judge and is a Democrat, He is not a can didate for reelection.' The Republican nominee for judge is James Watson, the present county clerk, who has e.huree of the printing of the ballots. The possibility of Judge Hall resign ing has been presented. The politic ians sDcculate as to the result. If be resigned while Governor West is in office it is assumed that West, being a Democrat, would appoint as his sue cessor J. J. Stanley, the Democratic nnminee for Judge. If Hall did not resign until after the election it is assumed that if Withycombe were iMTtori h won Id appoint Watson, the ReDublican nominee, while if Smith were elected Governor, he would name Stanley, the Democratic nominee. Judge Hall has not positively stated that he will resign.

' HATS a good old adage and a safe one that says: "Make hay while the sun shines" Haying time is over, but the adage holds good. For instance, there's Moyer's $15 Suits and Balmacaans. Buy them while the sun shines and wear them when it rains. Whether it's sunshine or rain tomorrow, you'll find a harvest of $15 clothes at Moyer's.
