Ill ..-.-v -.TV v i lit TO GOLDEN STATE Congressmen Finish Inspection of Tongue Point Naval Base Site; They Praise It Highly. i Fulfilling their mission In this dis trict by completing inspection of the Tongue Point naval base site and making a-general survey of the Co lumbia river district in regard to na val affairs, the congressional Joint committee and naval officers left late Saturday evening forj California to continue inspection iof Pacific coast naval bases. I j ' The committeemen. Individually and collectively, expressed pleasure over ' their reception in this distrfct and over the -possibilities - of the Tonsue Point site before departing ior the south. Following luncheons In honor of ths men at the Chmbr of Commerce and the ladies at ; the University club Set orday noon, the visitors were provided with automobiles -and taken over ths Columbia' river Wthway. IMnner was served at forest liall on the highway. As a result of this trip, the first visit of the committeemen since . appropria tions for Tongue Z'oint were made, it has been determined that . the proposed site is suitable, with the possible ad dition of a little more property than originally planned, that the deed will be executed soon whereby the land will become property of the government, and that construction ' operations .. should begin within a few months; The appropriation made by congress s mounts to $250,000. .This sum will be utilised In preliminary work, it being anticipated that further' funds will be appropriated in the 'near future.

"Many of the extraordinary economic changes, ; particularly in the matter of wages for labor, vastly increasing ap plicant's costs of operation and con struction, experienced by aDDllcant in common with business everywhere as a result of the world war, which this . commission has heretofore dealt with t as temporary and transient, are in ap ' plicant's operations permanent . and must now be recognized aa permanent factors in determining; 'just, reasonable and sufficient rates," says ths appli cation. It declares its willingness and desire to meet the extraordinary demands for telephone service now manifested by the -f increasing population of Oregon, but says "such willingness and desire are absolutely dependent upon applicant's ability to compete for money and ma terials in the markets of the world, and under existing rates and revenues and existing: returns, its ability so to do is c&.-pletely destroyed." i " : , CITES SgKTICE KgXIJEILED ' The company declares that as a result of the orders of the Public Servlee com mission, the people of Oregon have had the same general and Comprehensive telephone service rendered by the com pany In the neighboring . states, both north and south, at rates materially lower than those charged in these other 1 states, throughout the whole period of the war and since the armistice, and that this disparity of rates has been wholly at the expense, of the company.

CHANGE 13 EXPECTED -It seems to be generally expected that the first of January will witness a marked change. With stocks running low, the feeling seems to be that buying by the merchant will hvf .to begin and that the consumer will also find it nec essary to Join In the buying procession In some lines like building a change is not expected until spring. The drop In lumber prices and in the cost of other materials is such as to warrant the be lief hereabouts that the American people will begin to solve their housing prob lem ss soon as the diminution of the' winter snow permits work to begin. Another reason for optimism in Wash ington, however, a the certainty that European markets will come back to America just as soon as financial sta bility is accomplished. Everybody meems agreed that Europe needs American poods and needs them desperately and that the refinancing of Europe will be gin full production to American factories again. Yet there Is very little said here about governmental aid to credit operation in Kurope. The Kuropean countries them selves adopted a resolution at the inter national financing conference at Brus sels, looking with disfavor "on the exten sion Of more loans b governments. Yet that conference did make several sug gestions for the betterment of trade by new credit plans. ' With the election out of the way, of ficial Washington may dread to take a more active part , in international credit operations even in service to the new administration. TALK IS HELD CHEAP :The cutting down of government ex penditures will probably be agitated dur ing the coming- session of congress, but as Republican Leader Mondell once told the writer, it Is one thing to talk about cutting down appropriations and it Is quite another thing to face the hopo of the states and cities who suffer from the cut In the amount of money spent in their immediate environment. Another thing is that with the high cost of , living many government em ployes, who originally got their Jobs through political influence, haven't been especially enthusiastic about Staying in the Rovemment employ when attractive positions' are available in the business world. The Republicans will find the house cleaning I Job they have been promising the country a very easy task in many resnects. but the hard uart of that will be to get competent persons to come to Washington to replace those who are every day resigning to enter the business or; professional work at higher salaries j than the government has been able to afford DEPARTMENTS CUT rATROLLS Many of the government departments have already gven evidence of their ability to cut down their payrolfs. but when all is said and done official Wash ington is not expecting that the amounts IS Serve Hot With a Mound of Hard Sauce 13 Dixie Mince Pie For Thanksgiving 60c Each Flaky butter crust filled, with rich spicy flavored mince meat.

It is seriously advanced by some officials that taxes will go up instead of down, unless the tax burden is distributed over more years than was originally planned. Some of the experts say this may temporarily ease the load, but that in the long run the plaa will not prove economical. Briefly, now that the election is over, Washington is changing from the politi cal to the economic phases of recon-structlon. Preacher and Bride Welcomed by Throng WUlamlna, Or., Nov. IS.

The freshmen bonfire, one of the highest in the history of the school, was the big feature of the eve ning. A parade and fireworks were also staged. Immediately following and lasting for most of the night were the entertainments in honor of returned members in the various campus organ isations. WOMEIT SERVE IXXCHEOX Saturday morning was spent viewing the many changes on the campus and at noon a campus luncheon was served by the women of the university at the men's gymnasium. According to Vivian Chandler, who waa in charge, about 4000 were served. The football game in the afternoon, the high spot in the entire program, at tracted about 5000 grads, students, vis itors and Washington rooters. Claire ECenney, .yell king, and his two assist ants put on a record breaking display of pep. The demonstration which greet ed the Order of the "O" men who marched in front of the grandstands before the game was only equalled by jthe roaring which attended the entrance tof the Oregon eleven. The fighting spirit of the two teams and the general good spirit which was exhibited by both the' players and the rooting section, com bined with the ideal condition of the weather, were big factors in making the contest an absolute success as the big jfeature of the homecoming program. PERFECT WEATHER E?TJOTED I. The field was a trifle heavy, due to recent rains,' but overhead the weather, was all that could be desired, 'a light rain, which had . been falling, stopping Just before the opening whistle blew. The annual home-coming dance was held, at the Armory Saturday night and was followed by more house entertain ment for the visitors. ' The Washington rooters and team were entertained with the same hospitality a was shown the old guards, according to John Houston, chairman 'of the homecoming committee. Sunday, the last day of homecoming, is to be devoted to getting acquainted again. Special church services are being held in the morning and open house in the afternoon.

Japanese Diplomat Will -Explain His ; Country's Attitude The Jspanese. attitude, toward Amer ica will be explained by Y. Ishlkawa, famous Itravsler and t diplomat, at a luncheon, given In his honor vby T. Sugtmnra, local Japanese consul.' Ishl kawa belongs to the pacificist party in the politics of his native land and has repeatedly ' expressed the belief that misunderstandings arising between his own and the American government can be setUed amicably. In 'the American supplement of a re cent issue of the Torodiu Choho, a Jap anese publication, Ishlkawa states that his country desires above aU to preserve friendly relaUons with the United States. "The ; history of American-Japanese intercourse," he says, , "repels and stig matises the idea that Japan is a menace to America. i Winter Steelhead Salmon Rim on in Waters Gold Beach, Or., has begun. .The from six to seven of Rogue Nov. 1J.
