onets fixed and rifles loaded, the La
Grande home guards, about 75 strong,
were out last night patrolling the city's
industries in anticipation of a visit by
the I. W. W. The finding of a letter
Tuesday evening, purporting to have
been written by Industrialist members
stationed here, to the headquarters of
the order, was the cause of the call to
duty.
The letter said the Industrialists were
ready to cut ott the city's water supply
and fire the city's industries and asked
for further Instructions.
. March t was the date mentioned in
the letter as the time for action. Mem
bers of (he guard were hurried to the
city reservoir, the Palmer Lumber com

ous other points about the city.

Copenhagen, March 7. (1. N. S.)
There is a heavy exodus of all classes
from Petrograd toward Moscow and the
railway lines are all congested to the
point of suffocation, said a dispatch
from Petrograd today.
It added that the city is full of ru
mors and thatahigh excitement prevails.
One report is that the Germans have
renewed their advance from Narva,
while another is that the Bolshevik gov
ernment may repudiate the peace treaty
signed with the Germans at Brest-Ll-tovsk.
The dispatch failed to state whether
or not Premier Lenine and Foreign Min
ister Trotsky had gone to Moscow, but
it is presumed that if they have not al
ready departed they soon will do so,
Both are to take part In the ail-Russian
congress which is scheduled to open at
Moscow on Tuesday to consider the
peace situation.
