TURKEYS GO FAST ; Girls at the Salvation Army "and Vol unteers of America homes were given special dinners,, and likewise Inmates of the many homes in Portland for the ased. At the closing hour of business Wed nesday night hardly a turkey could be located in the wholesale houses. Butch ers had bought up everything by noon, so great was the demand. The supply was not so liberal this season as in former years. This factor is said to be respon sible for the prevailing high prices. BIG FEEDS ARE PROVIDED , j AT STATE INSTITUTIONS Salem, Nov. 25.

CITY JAIIi PRISONERS TO HAVE TURKEY JTST LIKE OTHERS This morning the "trusties" in the citv Jail got up early and set to work with a will. Long before the usual time the ' corridors and cell were swept clean and tne floors mopped and everything poi ished spick and span. . Most unusual of all, some of the ordi narily morose drudges were whistling about their work, and once In awhile the lighter hearted would try a little snatch of song. . It was Thanksgiving day in the city jail; too, but there was something else besides the mere fact that the last Thursday In November was her again that changed the customary morning routine. ' To explain the transformation, an ap peal was made to Jailer Gustafaon. What were the prisoners to have for Thanksgiving dinner? - . Turkey at 0 cents a pound?" "Sure," replied Gustafson with a grin. "Yesterday I went to the dairy lunch where the city has a contract for feeding its prisoners. When I started to turn in an order for roast beef, medium, the manager shook his head. He told me the banquet was on the restaurant. Today they have . turkey, cranberry sauce, mince pie, celery and a box of ap ples. "Last night somebody slipped two more boxes of apples into the jail ele vator.

A complete still and 750 gallons of corn mash were found. Sled marks on the ground led from the water's edge to the ranch. McCarl has a large .amount of stock to look- after, so he was permitted to remain at the ranch, but was ordered to appear at the sher iff s office Friday forenoon. ; - .

The man apprehended has been turned over to Sheriff Alexander of Washington county. . ; - when these "proceedings have been com pleted the state will then, file suit to recover from the ; government. The state's case in these instances will be largely of a formal nature, for the record of the adverse proceedings will In themselves have proven the fraud by which the state was deprived of possession, and upon Us decision there wilt be no bar to recovery by the state other than formal authority granted by congress to the land office to reeonvey to the state.

Neb.. Nor. 25. (U. P.I The University of Nebraska will go on the field here this afternoon against Wash ington State college in their intersec tional mixup minus that degree of over confidence which has spelled defeat to may a team. Coach Schulte claimed nothing. "Wt have a real job on our hands," he said. x believe tne uougars are fully as strong, if not stronger, than any team we have met this season. This includes Pensylvania State, which defeated us on our Eastern trip." Coach Welch had no statement to make. Both teams worked out yester day and are in the best of shape. of the case. This left approximately 10,000 acres Involved in the litigation. The case was bitterly fought from Its inception to Its final determination upon appeal. The state's contentions, were supported by the genera) land Office. which not only cooperated by furnishing the-basic evidence upon which recovery was had but by loaning expert assistants from the federal department to assist in compiling the evidence and connect ing it up. CASES PROSECUTED The active prosecution of the cases was carried on by J. O. Bailey, special assistant to Attorney General Brown, who assembled the evidence and tried the cases before the court from their beginning to their final determination upon appeal. On appeal the court decreed a recov ery of some 15,000 acres to the state but held that the remaining, 15.000 acr could not be recovered in that suit be cause of the court's opinion that the federal government had an equity in the land and should have been made a party. The case was therefore dismissed as to these 15,000 acres without prejudice and with the statement in terms .that had the government been made a party; the state would have been awarded the lands, , or if It were to be Included in subsequent litigation the same result would follow. Negotiations were Immediately com menced between the attorney general's office and the land office with the idea of instituting the second suit pointed out by the supreme court in its decision. COMPROMISE SUGGESTED This proposal was agreed to by the federal authorities and arrangements were being made to commence the ac tions when attorneys fdr the present holders of the lands Involved suggested a compromise between their clients and the state by which the state would be made whole, the present holders would be undisturbed In their possession and the titles to the land would be quiet This compromise was, in effect that the present holders should pay to the state such sums ss should be agreed upon as a reasonable value of the land. Assistant Attorney General Bailey- put the proposed compromise up to the com mlssioner of the general land office and it was approved by him. The appraised value as found by the official cruises of the land department was agreed upon as the basis of reasonable value upon which the compromise could be worked out As a result of this, the 5500 acres now In the hands of holders who took from Hyde with technical but not act ual knowledge of the fraud have been covered by cash deposits and the money is now in banks awaiting the final con summation of the compromise by the state and federal authorities. TO RETURK LAKDS The 3000 acres. In which the fraud was not only apparent but actual, are to be returned to the state. The remainder of the 15,000 acres, or approximately 6500 acres. Include lands where the selectors have not been dis covered. These will be cleaned up by adverse proceedings on the part- of the government aa rapidly as possible, and u LEAGE ASKS U. S. TO ACTON ARMENIA (Continued From Par One) insofar as International conference has been brought about by the present league ana negotiation is thus made easier, no disposition exists to insist upon a league different in every detail from the pres ent organisation. Nevertheless they say that when Mr.-Harding formulates his program, the changes he will suggest to other countries will be fundamental and that these will absolutely alter the character of the covenant so that the league will be ' known as the Harding league instead of the Wilson league. KeCORXICK IRRECONCILABLE Senator Med ill McCormtck of Illinois, who has Just sailed for Europe, is one of the.- so-called irreconcllables who voted along with Senators Borah and Johnson against the treaty with or without thel Lodge reservations. He has said that ' Europe was ready to negoti ate for a new understanding with the United States, and that he personally had been assured by - persona close to foreign governments Of their readiness to accept the American program. His visit to Europe Is fully expected to de velop interesting conferences with for eign statesmen, the substance of which will be cabled to Senator Harding at Marlon. McCormlck is in no sense an official representative of Harding, but he has apprised Senator Harding of his plans. ,The IDinols senator differs from other members of tne irreconcu slty of some sort of world association in which America shall play a part In her own - way. Incidentally, consider able pressure Is being brought to bear upon President-elect Harding to per suade him to move for a revision of the peace treaty itself. There la no doubt that if . Senator Knox were made secretary of state he would endeavor to separate the peace treaty from the world; association idea, so that the United States would' never be obliged to participate in the enforcement of the treaty. Whether such, a separation will be . practicable is a mooted point So many compromises were worked out at Paris that a reopening of one Question would lead to tangled situations on one another, and thus, to political crises inrougnout jcurope. . WOULD DIVORCE TREATT However, .there aeema no question that the i proposal will be made com pletely to divorce the peace treaty from the new association, as' ths Original round robin presented by the Republi can senators proposed when President Wilson made his first trip." to the United States from ths peace confer ence. :-.'iv;:'.; Of course, the action of the assem bly of the League of Nations in waiting for proposals from the United States to change the covenant Is Interpreted here as a partially graceful move, and one that is apt to put even greater respon sibility for ; early, action on President Harding. It is viewed as the first overture by Europe to Senator Harding, and some who know Mm best are con vinced he will not lose the. opportunity to make an entirely new proposal for the. preservation of world peace. n TOMORROW, order X for Sunday a sup Ply of , Red Rock " Cottage Cheese you'll enjoy its refresh ing, cooling taste after your Thanksgiving feasting.
