Vancouver. Wash.. May 21. A. Hall
was arreeted at Orchards this morn
ing by Sheriff E. 8. Blesecker and
Deputy Sheriff George M. Johnaon on

county will more than likely face a
number of expensive damage suits at
an early day as the outcome of a ver
dict rendered here late Saturday night
in the superior court, wherein Bart
Bergen of Morton was awarded a ver
dict for 1264. May 29, 1915. Bergen's
slater. Miss Anna Bergen, Mrs. Robert
Herselman and three little children of
Bergen were drowned in the Cowlitz
river at the Rlffe ferry,- In eastern
Lewis county. Mr. Bergen and another
sister. Miss Ella Bergen, narrowly es
caped with their lives. The accident
was caused by the team and- wagon
which the party had driven onto the
ferry being backed off the boat into
the river after the boat was pushed
away from shore. Negligence on the
part of Lewis county in safeguarding
the boat, and carelessness alleged
against the ferryman, were charged.
Bergen's verdict Is for S2B4, which is
the total for which be sued as the
value of the team, wagon and harness.
The jury was out about four hours. It
is generally understood .that Bergen's
attorneys brought the present action as
a preliminary to the main suits that
are expected to follow to cover the
damages for the loss of life.

"The fighting in southern Tyrol Is

Italians Are Confident.
Milan. May 22. (I. N. S.) The
Austrian, offensive In the Trentino is
followed with Intense Interest all over
Italy. Absolute confidence is felt in
the Italian army and the ability of its
chief to meet the Austrian challenge.
The Austrians selected the Zugna
torta salient, which was particularly
vulnerable from a theoretical point of
view. Here the Italians pushed their
advance last summer almost to Ro-
vereto. But the new position remained
exposed to the guns of four Austrian
forts.
The Italians after sustaining fifteen
infantry attacks and three days of un
interrupted bombardment from the
converging fire of the four forts, aban
doned Zugnatorta aa not worth hold
ing under such conditions and the Aus
trians who hoped to immediately fol
low this success by assailing the Ital
ian troops in their new positions of
Zugnatorta met with an Instant check
ad suffered severe losses. Entire
valleys were strewn with the Aus
trian dead, the Italian artillery, rifle
and machine gun fire doing terrible
execution from the mountain-slopes.
These losses compelled the Austrians
to suspend Infantry attacks and re
sume artillery fire on a large scale.
The hall of sheela hurled by the
Austrian batteries for more than 24
hours wis terrific. The colossal waste
of artillery ammunition proves, ac
cording to Italian critics, deficiency of
the Austrian infantry.
The world's greatest wireless sta
tion has been built in Italy, powerful
enough to communicate with North
and South America when similar sta
tions are erected on this side of the
Atlantic.

THREE STATES CALLED OUT
Portland Physician
Will Face Charges
Dr. X. Schwarts Is Aocased of Bemov
lng of Scarlet Fever nag from a
Besldenoe trader Quarantine.
Dr. H. Schwarts, a physician with
offices in the Allsky building, will be
tried In the municipal court Wednes
day morning on a charge of removing
a scarlet fever quarantine flag from a
residence at 695 Third street against
the orders of the city health office.
Dr. Schwartz has announced that he
will fight the case, as his patient, he
asserts, baa typhoid fever, and not
scarlet fever.
The trouble originated over the Ill
ness of Francis Brldenhagen, 6on of
Henry Brldenhagen, . laborer. Dr.
Schwartz said he diagnosed the case
as typhoid and so notified the health
department, but Its agents, instead, he
said, placed the red flag of scarlet
fever. This quarantined the family
and threw two wage earners out of
work, and this condition, imposed un
justly, he asserts, he would not per
mit. The flag wai jemoved Saturday,
but yesterday it was replaced by Dr.
Marcellus and a polico officer was left
to see that the flag is not taken down
again.
Dr. Roberg of the state health board
said that it was not scarlet fever when
he was called in consultation, accord
ing to Dr. Schwartz.

After a fortnight's trip around the
great circle including Idaho, Montana,

traveling passenger agent of the Great
Northern Pacific Steamship company.
returned today with the impression
firm - In his mind that, prosperity is

mining festivities of Butte more vigor
ous than ever before, and agricultural
activities of the Payette valley more
widely spread and diversified, the oil
developments around Billings keen.
"Most significant of all. from the
standpoint of Oregon and Washington."
said Mr. Powell, "was the sight of
freight trains, averaging 90 cars each,
rushing east through Butte at the rate
of several trains per hour.' Those
-trains were loaded with lumber.
"Unquestionably, business Is better.
Spokane has the spirit of a young New
York, with enormous activity. Butte
Is overcrowded with people. Billings
is agog over the oil fields. Boise has
taken on new life.
"Indications are that a great deal
of tourist travel will move westward
this year, in spite of the fact that such
a heavy travel moved last year."

Camas Profits by
Wage Increasee
Camas, Wash., May 22. The Crown
Willamette Paper company has come
to an agreement with its men relative
to the wage question, which waa the
cause of a walkout on two occasions
by dlssatsfied workers. The commit
tee representing the men has returned
from Portland, where it had beenfn
conference with the mill managers, and
compromised on the following .wage
schedule: The lower-paid men, who
received $1.85 per day, are to be paid
$2.40. and the $2 men will get $3.60
per day, and in addition all other men
will have the 10 per cent raise In
wages, as offered by the company last
week. The entire raise in wages took
effect May 1.
This increase in wages will add
$6000 to the Camas payroll each
month. The most interesting feature
of the present trouble has been the
spirit shown by the better-paid men
in holding out for better pay to the
low-paid men, and for this spirit these
men have been admired by the whole
community. When the 10 per cent in
crease waa offered, the better-paid men
decided it would be more fair to have
the low-paid laborers receive a higner
percentage of " increase, and that the
Other men who were getting satisfac

Pendleton, Or., May 22. With com
plete returns in from all save a few
outlying precincts, the results of the
election Friday In Umatilla county are
known beyond a doubt. There is no
contest so close that the remaining'
votes can change.
The $980,000 good roads bonds meas
ure was overwhelmingly defeated,
there having been four votes cast
against the measure for every one for
it. All sections of the county ex
pressed themselves against it, even the
west end, where a majority for It was
expected, returning a small margin for
the negative. The outcome of this
bond election is not taken as an indi
cation that Umatilla, county is forninst
paying for good roads. The great op
position developed from a belief that
the $980,000 would not build the
amount of good roads outlined, and
from the further belief that that sum
was too great to expend at one time
when good roads making in this county
is still in the experimental stage.
