The way for Oregon dairymen to bring down upon thomselvej disaster, chaos and low prices for their products is to liquidate the Oregon Dairymen's Co operative league as proposed by the directorate of that organisation, says Albert Manning of New York Manning is master of the New York State Orange. He is also eecretary of thfi New York Dairymen's Cooperative association. Ho is attending the Na tional Orange convention in Portland. "We hiive been through the storms and turmoil that the Oregon dairymen are going through now," he said. "But there is one thing we never pro posed.' We never, so much as thought of quitting. Wc had internal dissension such as the Orefjon dairymen have -had. We had, ami still have, the organised opposition of great condenser and ether influences that are always trying to throw a monkey wrench in the ma chinery of cooperative marketing. "Hut the New York dairymen realised they could not be licked while they stsyed together. Nor can the OTegon dairymen be defeated while they stay tOK'ther. "Recently we took a canvas -of the price paid for milk in 17 principal cities of the East and Middle West. We found that we were getting a cent a quart more for milk than the average of the li. V "The dairymen's organization of Chi cago has been threatening to go to pieces. The price for milk there got down as low as 11.30 a hundred pounds (2 3-5 cents a quart), and it Is now only Sl.CO a hundred pounds. "There are always plenty of Influ ences standing around on the edge of dairymen s affairs, waiting to take ad vantage of them If they falter, or If they desert their organisation.

One death by drowning and the destruction of hun dreds of thousand? of dollars' worth of property was the flood toll taken by the Santiam river, according to advices re- Kcelved today in Albany. M. Curl, l-year-oia son oi 1'ai curl oj jeiierson, fell from the Pacific highway bridge at Jefferson Sunday night and was drowned. His body was found in a field about 500 yards below the bridge, on the south side of the Santiam, at 9 a. m. Monday. Many rumors of fatal accidents dur ing the flood of Saturday night and Sunday were reported from points in the Santiam valley, but wires are dowh and it is impossible to get into commu nication with outlying districts. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Crowe 1 and their 10-year-old daughter were camping in a hopfield near Beaver when the) waters of, the Santiam began rising. They were forced to climb into a tree Sunday night and were rescued by neighbors Tuesday mornfng. The family had noth ing to eat during the 36 hours they were marooned in the tree and all three were nearly exhausted when the res cuers arrived. The .Santiam river started to rise Sat urday night and reached a maximum of 20 feet above normal stage Sunday. The stream, which is normally but a few rods in width, spread over a wide area and was more than five miles wide near Jefferson when it began to recede Sun day night. The flood in the Santiam river was the worst experienced in 30 Passengers who were marooned on train No. 4 of the O-W. R. 4 N. com pany in the snow blockade along the Co lumbia river were telling today how they rejoiced when they heard the whistle of the steamer J. N. Teal over the snowbanks at Multnomah falls Monday morning, for aid was coming- to this party of 174 after being hemmed in for two days and as many nights. Most of the refugees brought back to Portland on the river steamer, were taken from the eastbound train, which was surrounded at both ends by snow slides. Others, motorists who aban daned thei cars in snowbanks on the highway, numbered about 20. When the blizzard set in they made their way to the railroad tracks and climbed aboard the train. The train became snowbound almost before its crew and passengers were aware of it. The engineer didn't know we were at Troutdale, where the full blast struck up. until he saw the station lights almost beside him. said H. T. Hopkins, manager of the Portland office of the Internation al News Service, one of the passengers. I was -awakened from a doze by a' Jerky stop. The brakes were applied so sud denly that the train seemed to hop a cou ple of times. I thought we had run over something." A final halt was made at Multnomah falls when a rotary plow was unable to clear away a slide. Then, preventing a return to Portland, a slide crashed down behind us. We knew right then that we were stuck." "We were as comfortable - as anyone could be cramped into train quarters until the fuel ran low. We had plenty to. eat. Two meals were served Sunday in the dining car and a fine breakfast on Monday morning. And lunch was served on the river boat bringing us back to Portland, so we had plenty to eat. "We fared pretty well at night Two standard cars were in the train and berths were provided for all women and children and most oC ibfe mea.

This information was received by the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company local office today from inspectors and linemen who have been working down the gorge from Wyeth towards Cascade Locks. The linemen have adopted a sentinel and wig-wag system of sending back information. Up to 10 o'clock this morn ing the pioneering crew had proceeded to within one and one half miles of Caji- fTa.de Locks from the east. PHOSE TOPS BURIED At that point the snow had grown so deep that the tops of the telephone poles were lost to sight. The outpost stationed at Viento had the information wig-wagged back to him that the going was rough for the advance crew. The information was tele phoned from Hood River fey round about methods shortly before noon. The belief was expressed that the residents of C&scade Locks and Bonneville have Chicago to Get Cut in Car Fares Chicago. Nov. K. (L N. 8.1 The Illinois commerce commission.

Lane, county rancher and stockman, was killed instantly shortly before S o'clock Monday night when his big car plunged over the grade in Crooked Creek canyon, about 14 miles north of Lakeview. The cause of the accident has not been determined, but the tracks made by the car in .the snow show that It was driven straight across a bridge and swerved sharply to the right, going straight over a grade about 25 feet high, turning turtle and crushing Lane beneath its heavy frame, according to Dr. E. H. Smith and A. B. Ousley, -county coroner, called to the scene by- a passing autoist, who discov ered the dead body about a half hour after -the -accident. Death was instan taneous. , It is thought by Dr. Smith and Ous ley ( that snow covered the windshield and caused Lane to misjudge the road as the accident occurred about dark during a driveing snow storm from the south. This opinion Is thought correct because the tracks left by the car showed that it had not skidded but was driven straight over the grade. Lane was the only occupant. He tvad been a prominent citizen of Lake county and Lakeview for many years and . is a descendant of one of the oldest pioneer families of Oregon. He is survived by his wife. (Concluded on Pass Six.

"The committee" adjourned1 untfl 3 o'clock p. m., Wednesday, November 23." With the Burnside bridge quivering from the impact of tons of wood bump ing at Its supports, the log Jam, which almost blocked water traffic there, was pried loose at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The river boat Port of Portland tugged at the east side of the Jam and then at the west side. The jam thus loosened on each side of the river broke away In the middle. Water traffic was blocked all morn ing on the west side of the draw. Two more log booms, made up of about 700 logs each, broke away from their moorings on the east side of Ross island Monday night, and careened down the Willamette in the swift current. A num ber of houseboats were crushed more or less and several small boats were torn away from their moorings. Considerable driftwood piled up dur ing the night on the jam that has choked the west channel of the draw span. There are heavy jams above the Haw thorne bridge but little apprehension is felt, because the piers at this bridge go down to gravel and are set In solid ce ment. The only danger Is that the draw siian may be closed by the logs, pre venting river boats from passing through. The jams are on the draw span and on the next span to the east County KoadmastervEatchel had taken no action this morning to close -the Burnside bridge, and unless conditions get worse, it is not likely that the bridge will be closed. Th,e Shaver Transporta tion company had a boat tugging at the jam this morning and the Port of Port land is expected to help. The terrific current In the river makes it very difficult for boats to pass through the draws. The steamer Spring field, though loaded and ready to leave, was afraid to attempt the east passage of the Burnside draw span. Monday. A number of logs from the Hawthorne bridge jam swing back and forth In the current below the bridge. They are attached to chains that hold them to the main boom. If they break loose they may do great damage at the Burn side bridge. Its climax late yesterday with the con clusion of the testimony of Alica Blake. When the Jury filed out after bearing Zey Pre von and Miss Blake tell their stories It was a case of "even-Stephen between prosecution and defense. Inclined to smile a bit nervously and to answer a trifle too readily, 2ey Prevon, though one of the state's star witnesses, struck several blows to their case. DAXAGX BEFAIRZD The defense was able to develop that she had changed her story following a threat from a detective. However, she repaired part of the damage to the state's case by explaining the change was made because she had been misun derstood and In the Interest of truth. Another point upon which the defense made much was the fact that Virginia Rappe's statement. "He hurt me," fol lowed an ice-water bath to and from which she was carried by Fred Fish back. The state partly repaired this breach in the case when Alice Blake testified that Arbuckle responded to the declaration of Miss Rappe with the ad monition : "Shut up ! You're crasy !" MADE GOOD WITNESS The two girls painted a rather sor did picture of the Arbuckle party. In the retrospect it seemed rather tame to both of them, it appeared from their testimony. There were "some drinks, some food, some dancing and some con versation," then the tragic denouement. It: was Virginia Rappe who suggested the dancing. Alice Blake believed. She made an excellent witness. She weighed her words. If uncertain her re plies, sometimes were a full minute (Concluded on Page Su, Column One) Frank S. Grant, potentate of Al Kader temple, and A.

Nov. 22. A virtual reign of terror gripped Belfast today as the Ulster government assumed the powers of home rule. Mobs attacked pedestrians, bullets whistled down the half deserted streets and armored cars laden with heavy ma chine guns scurried about the districts where gangsters were fighting revolver duels. Hidden 'on housetops and barricaded in doorways, snipers fired Into the streets. In Tork street one was killed and several seriously injured. Searchlights swept the Catholic dis tricts of the city throughout the night. revealing men with rifles In their hands, wearing bandoliers, sniping from windows and rooftops. Rescue and relief was drawing near this morning for the passengers of five railroad trains which still stand storm bound and Ice-encased on the tracks of the O-W. R. t N. and S. P. 4. In the Columbia river gorge. The giant rotary plow, propelled by three engines and followed by a relief train which left Vancouver Monday morning in an attempt to batter through the Ice and snow drifts to trains Not 3 and 5, which have been buffeted by the piercing winds and drifted over with sifting snow Just west of Cooks since Saturday night, was close to the en trapped cars this morning. PLOW TACKLES ICE Advice that the rotary had proceeded within a few miles of Cooks was re ceived In a roundabout way by the rail road ofifces. The plow crew reported that they ran through Ice two feet deep In places. Train No. 1 is at Roosevelt and In no danger. The North Bank officials also heard from train No. 102 on the Oregon Trunk line. Messengers succeeded In getting food in to the passengers of the Central Oregon train during the night. It is anticipated that the train will continue to stand In the drifts until tonight be fore relief can be rammed through the giant drifts. On the O-W. R.

Re ports received at noon indicate that the storm had stopped at least temporarily this morning. On the Oregon Electric 1200 feet of track has been swept away near the bridge' below Beaver which went out Monday morning In the flood of the Santiam river. On the Southern Pacific the Jefferson main line washout will probably be re paired Wednesday. The C. E. E. is out of commission on the eastern end ; the P. R. N., is giving service only as far as Cochrane and a slide is over this line at Belding estimated at 200 feet in length and 10 feet In depth : the Woodburn-Springfieid tracks are giving service only as far as Lebanon. After an Interruption of five days, service has been resumed over the Great Northern between Seattle and Spokane, according to advice received today by Henry Dickson, city passenger agent for the O. N. at Portland. The G. N. had been experiencing tunnel trouble in the Cascade mountains and had detoured via Vancouver and the S. P. & S. until the ice blockade. , Rapidly rising fiood waters brought a new peril to Portland today while the city continues to lie close to the edge of the ice-bound area extending out of the Columbia Gorge and only needing, a turn of the wind to push it on Into tho city again. At noon the flood stage of 15 feat was reached and a maximum beutht of 17. S feet Is predicted by the weather bureau for Wednesday. FREIGHT IS MOVED The majority of freight alone tho waterfront has been moved or will be in time to escape serious damage. Tay lor street. Alder street and Ainsworth docks were the principal places affected during the morning. The engineer department of the com mission of public dorks issued an order to move all stuff from the lower levels of Terminals No. 1 and 2. Water was expected to be over the lower docks before sunset Terminal No. 4 Is three feet above the stage set for No. 1 and No. 3 and with little cargo on the lower docks that terminal will be clear for at least 24 hours.
