from Oppacchiasella southward through
Pletra Rossa has been carried and the
Austrlans driven back to trench po
sitions in -the valleys.
Advanced Italian lines are now less
than 13 miles from Trieste. .
Heavy rainstorms have Interfered
with th progress of the offensive,
preventing aerial observation and thus
impeding the artillery attack. But,
despite these obstacles, Cadorna's men

Washington, Sept. 18. (I. N. S )
Major General Albert L. Mills, chief
of the army division of military af
fairs, died of. pneumonia here this
afternoon. General Mills had been
under constant strain since the calling
out of the militia and the attack of
pneumonia, according to attending
physicians, was brought on by general
weakening of the system, due to over
work in connection with militia af
fairs.
General Mills was chilled while mo
torlng yesterday afternoon and was
stricken during tho night. His wlfn
and daughter, Mrs. Laurson, wife of
Lieutenant IS. I,. Laurson of the Elev
enth cavalry, were with him when he
died.
General Mills was only rcently pro
moted to the grade of major-general
For two years he was president of the
Army War college.
He was awarded the congressional
medal of honor July 28, 1902, "for dis
tinguished gallantry in action near

OptimismRules
in Northwest,
Says A.L. Mills
Big Crops, Enormous Prices, Good
Collections Pointed to as Un
mistakable Evidence.
Optimism is In the very air In the
Pacific northwest states, declares A. L.
Mills, president of the First National
bank, wfco Bays that not for a long
period has he been so optimistic re
garding the future of business in this
section as at the present time.
The big crops, enormous prices and
the fact that the farmers have got
the money is given as the basis for
the wave of optimism among business
and financial interests.
Collectlons are good all through thu
country, he points out. This does not
mean any particular section, for prac
tically all sections of the farming dis
tricts are plentfully supplied with
money from this season's crops.
"Even the hired hands on the farms
are Ueginning to buy automobiles,"
says Mr. Mills.
"With the intense prosperity of the
farmers as a basis, 1 cannot for a
moment see anything but a very good
business situation In Portland and in
the northwest during the fall and
winter months. Jtfst think of a wlfeat
crop alone of about 60,000,000 bushels
and farmers for the most part receiv
ing from $1 to $1.25 a bushel at their
farms. The wool growers received
enormous values, from 25 to 35 cenrs
a pound for the est of their fleeces.
They are securing record prices for
sheep and the entire Interior is roll
ing in wealth,
"The coming of prosperity here
would be much quickened if business
men and others would for a moment
study the situation and begin to re
alize the full meaning of all this farm
wealth."

Important state witnesses by showing

trial of Warren K. Billings, on a charge
of murder in connection with the pre-
Iparedness day bomb explosion.
This is Deuevea to De me DomD-

have been Intimating they would ex

course of action by the defense while
cross-examining John McDonald, who
testified that he had seen BllHngs
place a suitcase at Steuart and Mar
ket streets Just prior to the explosion. (
Billings Zs Identified.
McDonald testified that his atten
tion was called to the man, whom he
identified as Billings, by the man's
peculiar actions. He declared he saw
Billings come down Steuart street
from the direction of Mission, carry
ing a suitcase and continually glancing
about. He said he believed at the time
the man had stolen the suitcase, so he
watched his actions closely.
After placing the case near the sa
loon on the corner. Billings, accord
ing to the witness, entered the saloon
and later emerged with a man, whom
the witness Identified as Thomas
Mooney, also charged with murder.
The two separated, testified McDon
all, Billings going back toward Mis
sion street and Mooney disappearing
into the crowd nearby.
Bribe Theory Advanced-Cross-examining
the witness, At
torney McNutt assailed the testimony.
"Did you ever tell a barber named
Sunday that, as though in a dream,
you had seen a man plant the suit
cast, and later, when talking with
Sunday and a laborer named Beach,
say. 'When these fellows go over the
road I'll get mine, and I'll go east in
parlor cars?' And another day didn't
you say you were getting paid for the
work?"
TO both of these questions McDon
ald answered "No."
McDonald denied he told Captain
Rockway of the Salvation Army. "I'll
go back to Baltimore on cushions when
I get mine and these guys, Billings and
Mooney, are railroaded."

was the result of a conference be
tween the mayor and six labor leaders
headed by William B. Fitzgerald, or
ganizer of the traction strike, today.
The mayor announced that the labor
men had called upon him for two rea
sons, to make charges' of police dis
crimination and to ask him to inter

Police Commissioner Woods heard
the charges that police officers had
discriminated against strikers, and as

their allegations and see that there
was absolute fairness.

Senator George E. Chamberlain to

Portland of a contract to supply 1700
tons of oats for government uses.
There are 3,350,000 pounds of oats
In the order. The grain will be
shipped to Hawaii and delivered to
the war department.
The Northern Grain & Warehouse
company had not been advised this
morning of when delivery would com
mence or how the grain would be
transported. It was not believed that
the war department would send a ves
sel to this port for this material, but
that the company would be asked to
make delivery at the docks at San
Francisco.
An effort is now being made by the
chamber to ascertain why Portland
bidders were not allowed the contract
for the full 3200 tons of grain asked
for in the bids, as Portland bids were
the lowest. Part of the allotment was
made to Puget sound men, it is said.
The Northern Grain Warehouse
company is in position to begin de

Salem, Or.. Sept. 18. Press reports
of the car shortage in Oregon have

about the enormous increase in busi

Bcott. Assistant Gerferal Manager

ference particularly because they do
not plan to attend the hearing sched

they expect to attend a banquet of the

night.
President Sproule told the comims
sion that there was an increase in the
number of cars loaded on the Southern
Pacific system of 45,000 during the
months of May, June, July and Au
gust, as compared with the previous
year. During May and July the In
crease of cars loaded in Oregon was
8418, of which 8200 were for lumber
products alone.
"What I regret to see Is that tho
newspapers make no mention of the
increased business, and the fact that
we have been a factor in increasing
the business by buying Oregon lumber
products for use In construction
work,'' Bald President Sproule. "What
I do see in the newspapers Is that
Oregon's business is being destroyed."
