"Salem, Or.. Feb. 15. The great fight
of the session In the senate over high
'way legislation la raging today over
v house bill 602. Introduced in the houso
Vti a .substitute for the Schimpff and
- Laurgaard road bills. -'
;XJouse bill 502. being a new hlgh-
way code, wen a special order for
'10:30 o'clock this morning and on mo
tion of Senator Eddy the -senate went
" Into committee of the whole to con
i alder the bill section by section.
, The first sharp contests occurred
, over the question of aalary for the
three, members of the highway coni
mission, to be appointed by the gov
' ernor from the three congressional dis
; trtcts, and whether the state engineer
should be an ex-offlclo member of the
commission and highway engineer.
It early developed that those who
' have been standing with the grange
and Other organizations that had fa
vored the Schimpff bill were far from
satisfied with the provisions of the
, substitute bill.
1' Would Par Eaoturh.
These senators favored fixing the
- f salary of the highway commissioners
at 12500 so others than millionaires
s might serve on the commission.
' This was opposed by Senator Orton
( who first made a motion that the sal
ary of $00 provided for In the bill
j be eliminated. This motion prevailed
' and the commission will serve without
' "' salary if the bill becomes a law.
In opposing the motion Senator
Pierce declared that all the brains of
' the state capable of directing the
. highway work of the state are not
' possessed by the millionaires.
Charges were made Dy senator Gar
land and Orton that the enemies of
the bill were trying to amend it when
7 they had no intention of voting for
It' on final passage.
Senator Pierce replied he would not
vote for H If the emergency clause Is
retained. -
"I will not veto for any highway
legislation with an emergency clause,
he said, "and every senator who does
vote for such bills will be digging
his political grave." '
Senator Eddy made the motion to
amend the bill by making the state
engineer an ex-officio member of th
highway commission and state high
way engineer.
Senator Eddy declared the fight
was between State Engineer John II.
Lewis and the paving trusts which,
he said, were determined to keep
Lewis off the commission.
"This Is the only reason 1 can find
why the state engineer should be leg
islated out of office," he said. "I
have beard no one advocate keeping
him off , the commission except men
paid to do it by the paving corpora
tions. Senator Olson replied by charging
that the cement trust! was lobbying
Just as - hard to keep Lewis ' on the
commission. He declared that if
Lewis is made a member of the com
mission it will be impossible to get
anyone else to work with him be
cause appointive members would not
be able to get along with a member
who was elected by the people and
not subject to removal.
JTo Decision Today.
No decision was reached or vote
taken, as the senate had to adjourn at
12 o'clock to go into Joint session with
the house to elect a port commissioner.

Author of Bill Flails Speaker
Stanfield and Other Legis
lators Leading Opposition,
Salem, Or., Feb. 15. Charging that
Senator J. C. Smith of Josephine
county was, in his belief, In the em
ploy of Roderick Macleay and for that
reason had fought the closing ef the
Rogue . river, as provided by the
Thomas "bill, Thomas pitched another
fishball into the house jjust before the
adjournment last night.
As usual it was the Rogue river
question that started the fireworks.
Senator Smith has a bill which in
creases the open season for commer
cial salmon fishing on the upper river
by 45 days, drafted for the benefit of
the Grants Pans fishermen, which
passed the senate. The house fisher
ies committee cut the extension to 15
days and sent In a majority report
that the bill pass as amended.
Sweeney of Josephine signed a minor
ity report recommending that the bill
be passed without amendment as it
came from the senate.
Thomas Tiles Into High Gear.
Thomas jammed into high gear and
went after Senator Smith, Speaker
Stanfield, Dr. Sweeney and Tichenor,
who had also signed the minority re
port. Ho said Senator Smith had
tarted his senate bill in order to kill
off the Thomas bill cutting out seines
nd set nets on the lower Rogue. He
charged that Stanfield had been lob
bying in favor of the minority report
11 day; that he had coaxed Sweeney
to sign the report and that Seeney
had told him so. He said that he knew
nothing of the minority report until
e had found a note asking support
for the minority report, and that he
had heard Stanfield aak Hodgen, "to
take care of the Smith bill."
Forbes plunged to the defense of
Senator Smith and Speaker Stanfield.
He said that Senator Smith was a
man "whose honor was to him as
the virtue of a woman was to her."
Stanfield's Motives Also Fuze.
He said that when the motives of
a man like "Bob" Stanfield were im
pugned it was tlmo for him to tell
seme of the stories he knew. He
said that when the anti-cigarette bill
was up "a certain man" had sent for
him to come into the cloak room
and had asked him to move that the
Stott bill be considered first, that he
did not want to vote for the Sweeney
anti-cigarette bill, and that the pas
sage of the Stott bill would pull
them out of a hole." He was refer
ring to Thomas.
Sweeney, in reply to Thomas, said
he simply wanted justice for the peo
ple of Grants Pass and that the
Smith bill was just.
The minority report was adopted
with 33 votes in the affirmative.

Berlin. Feb. 15. (I. N. S.)
(Via wireless) The following k
id farewell message was sent to
the German government by 4
James W. Gerard, the former
tt American amoassador, on the 4
eve of his departure, says the -ri
ifr Overseas, News agency today:
"The regulations of the Ger-
4t man government surpass any-
thing which might haw been
hoped for by the embassy and
the American . colony. German
chivalry and hospitality have $
brilliantly stood the test In
these trying days."

enemies which would permit - them to

Gerard Befles Oermam Throat.
The same strict German censorship,
which has concealed real developments
in the empire and left untold active
anti-American propaganda therein, did
not permit - an intimation or tnia
"Joker" to slip out of the country.-
It was reading- this stipulation that
Ambassador Gerard as has been re
lated In previous United Press dis
patches from Berne, told Count Mount
gelas, for transmission to Foreign Sec
tetary Zimmerman, that he would not
even consider the matter and that ne
would "remain in Berlin until king
dom come" if Germany carried out ber
threat to hold Americans as hostages.
Excision of this provision from the
text of the treaty is another example
of the strictness of the German cen
sorship which for months has refused
to pass real developments to America.
AntflAmerlcaa Propaganda.
Some of these developments have In
cluded: Anti-American speeches in thereich
stag. '
Antl-Wllson and anti-Gerard propa
ganda, financed by prominent German
leaders.
Fiery attacks by Stressmann and
von Heydebrand on the president.
Frequent statements of army and
navy officials that the United States
"might as well enter the war. because
the nation was unneutral."
Americans Termed "Excitable."
The foreign office's attitude , Just
before we lelt Berlin was that Ameri
cans were very "excitable," and if
Germany could control all dispatches
for a few days Americans would "for
get all about the submarine blockade
and bring pressure on President Wil
son to remain neutral."
1 Before Ambassador 'Gerard and See- j
retary.' Joseph C, Grew left Berlin,
German- officials requested them not
to allow. newspaper men accompanying
tha embassy v staff to telegraph -regarding
Berlin development, except
news which - the Berlin censor might
approve.
' immense Munitions Ontpnt.
Since Field Marshal 'von Hlndenburg
has been In command, the output of
munitions in Germany has been
doubled.
Every possible human being Is
working on war supplies for the west
em front
Hlndenburg s dream of a separate
peace with Russia la dwindling.
But Germany Is united In the ex
pected great offensive this year. Of
ficials say its is the last chance to
win or lose; when it Is ever the So
cialist peace leaders 111 again force
themselves forward, .' ,
Special envoys bate advised Ger.
many , that President Wilson "repre
sents financial and munitions inter
ests" and that congress on the other -hand,
representing the people, will not
support war.
The Germsn people believe Presi
dent Wilson pro-ally.
The German press departments -that
is the propaganda agencies have,
for months, centered efforts on con
vincing America that war is terrible.
The theory is that Americans are
cowards and will back out of a war.
The average German thinks Ameri
can International policies are "bluff
and was immeasurably delighted over'
refusal of neutral nations to Join with
President Wilson in breaking relations
with Oermany.

Berne, via Paris. Feb. 15. (U. P.)
Germany's censorship cut an impor
tant "Joker' out of the text of the
treaty which German officials' de
manded that American Ambassador
Gerard sign, under threat to hold
American newspaper correspondents as
hostages.
That "Joker" does not show in Ber

way it had been previously said cer

sack handling would oppose any de
cisive expression of sentiment- relative
to the movement which has assumed
proportions of chief Importance in the
Pacific northwest grain growing and

Text of Xesolntlon.
The resolution proposed by Mr. Ad
Visson called upon the government and
the agricultural colleges of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho to conduct a
campaign in education in bulk han
dling and declared In favor of substi
tuting bulk handling for sacks as fast
as it is safely and conservatively pos
sible. The text of the resolution is as
follows:
Whereas. Grain is handled in bulk In
practically all other parts of the Unti
ed States and in most of the world s
marKets. and.
Whereas. It is imoortant that era In
growers of Oregon, Washington and
Idaho should adopt every method of
economy in production, handling and
marketing; our cereal crops, in compe
tition with other grain produclne
countries.
Be it resolved bv this convention of
grain growers, shippers and dealers as
sembled to confer with the federal
committee on grain, grades and stand
ards, office of markets that the U3e
of sacks in grain handling should be
abandoned just as rapidly as the
change may be safely brought about
ana duik nananng facilities can De
provided at terminal markets and in
the Interior, and that we request the
United States department of agricul
ture and the agricultural colleges of
the several states to assist us in prj-
moting the change by conducting a
campaign of education on the subject.

Interest in Session Keen.
Interest in the Buearing caused the
morning session to begin about an
hour ahead of schedule and caused it
to be continued this afternoon, abandon
ing ( trip over the Columbia river
highway, whiah had been arranged for
the members of the federal grain
standards board and the out-of-town
visitors by B.. J. Patterson, president
of the Merchants' Kxchange.
To meet the convenience of the
Multnomah hotel, the afternoon ses
slon was transferred from the ho&telry
to the green room of the Chamber of
Commerce. Members of the grain
standards board will leave tonight for
Seattle, where a hearing Is to be held
Friday, with another at Spokane Sat
urday, in connection with a large con
ference of tho growers relative to bulk
handling.
It was announced that this after
noon's session would be devoted to the
discussion of bulk handling.
Foreigners "Bunked" Z,ong Enough.
The morning session was almost en
tirely taken up with consideration of
the (smut problem. Considerable di
vergence in point of view was evident
between millers and growers, and ex
porters said that smutted wheat fre
quently can be exported as No. 1 grade.
even though local millers will not ac
cept It without dockage.
Dr. Brand stemmed up the govern
ment's attitude when he said that for
eign buywrs have been "iwnked" long
enough with smutty wheat that has
been cleaned and wold as straight
grade and that . the honest policy will
be to designate whether the wheat was
affected with smut when it came from
th field, then determine the price by
its present quality. . It. IV Jarboe.

To Relieve Catarrhal
Deafness and
Head Noises
Persons suffering from catarrhal
deafness and head noises will be glad
to know that this distressing affliction
can usually be successfully "treated at
home by an internal medicine that In
many Instances has effected complete
relief after other treatments have
failed. Sufferers who could scarcely
hear have had their hearing restored
to such an extent that the tick of a
watch was plainly audible seven or
eight Inches away from either ear.
Therefore if you know of someone
who Is troubled with head noises or
catarrhal deafness, cut out this for
mula and hand It to them and you may
have been, the means of saving some
poor sufferer perhap from total deaf
ness.'. The prescription can be pre
pared at home and is made as follows:
Secure from your druggist 1 ox. Par
mint (Double Strength.) about 75
cents worth. Take this home and add
to it M pint of hot water and 4 ox. of
granulated sugar; stir until dissolved.
Take on tablespoonful four times a
day.
Parmlnt la used in this war not
only to reduce by tonic action the in
flammation and swelling In the Eus
tachian Tubes, and thus to .equalixe
the air pressure on the drurnT but to
correct any excess of secretions In the
middle- ear, and the results it gives
are nearly always quick and effective.
Kvery person who has catarrh in
any form should give this recipe a
trial. '.Jt--,.'..,-..- . (Adv.)
