An Increase in tbe offerings ef smelts will

Never before have Oregon cheese makers
able to command sock msrkets and
prices ss at the present time. Not only are
ebeese prices here extremely high, bat there Is
till, room for farther advances without the
coast makers coming la competition' with the
eastern product.- f
; At this time coast cheese prices ' are below
the; prices asked at eastera producing centers,
therefore a further advaace la local quotations
Is generally anticipated. -
With cheese prices touching an extreme mark
in the eaat and with supplies too limited to
take care of the home demand,- coast cheese
interests are able to send their product to the
Missouri, river and even farther east. If they
so desire. However, the output is not suf
ficient to take care of the enure Pacific coast
trade and the Invasion of the eastern territory
will not be tried.
Cheese mskers sre preparing to increase tbelr
production for the coming season because the
outlook for the market Is nnwually favorable
si far aa prices sre concerned. With foreign
cheese eliminated from the. trade, the domes
tic -makers are unable to take care ef tbe
situation. "

The ideal situation, of course! Is the

Swiss papers are quoted In a Lau
sanne dispatch as publishing reports
that Bulgarian troops have invaded
Roumania. opening hostilities between
the two countries. They state that a
Bulgarian patrol which crossed the

tire, but that reinforcements arrived
for the patrol and fighting was re

Mllarv Feb. 12. (I. N. 8.) A dis
patch from .Bucharest to the Swiss
newspaper Neue Zuricher Zeltung de
clares that Koumanla appears defi
nitely on the point of entering the war
on tbe side of the allies. . The Rouman
ian question has been seriously dis
cussed between the kaiser and Czar
Ferdinand and big events are prepar
ing. The Roumanian government is no
longer offering opposition to the in
terventionist agitation, but rather fa
vors it. The condition of Roumania,
says a correspondent, resembles that
of -Italy in 1915 shortly before her
declaration of war. The spring of
1916 In Roumania. will -be a repetition
of the spring of191S In Italy.
. The military preparations which are
openly in progress leave no doubt aa
to their ultimate object. The minis
ters, of war and finance are taking de
liberate steps which tend to a declara
tion of war. i
Preparations are far in excess of
those needed fog an armed neutrality.
The government has at its . disposal
under arms more than 500,000 men
with modern equipment.
