iLONDON, May 3 The supreme
allied council, lias fixed the total rep
arations to be demanded of Germany
in the ultimatum which Is to go for
ward to Berlinrat 6,600,000,000 pounds.
Germany will be asked to pay the
allies 100,000,000 pounds annually In
addition to 20 percent of the valuo of
her exports.
The German goeri.ment wiil be re
quired to issue an indeterminate
number of bonds, bearing five percent
Interest, imniedHtely, to float a sec

rjIt is specified that when the export
tax, plus the annuity,, shall exceed the
total interest on all outstanding rep
. arations bonds, the reparations, com
mission shall be empowered to de
mand the issuance of additional
bonds.
.The supreme council, after agreeing
upon the general-terms of the ultima
tum, struggled throughout the day
with i a maze . of statistics through
which their experts endeavored to
evolve a system of payment 'that
would meet the desires of the .French
delegation. 'But whethor Germany wilt
accept these figures, to be sent to hor
as the absolutely final word from
the entente, is quentionable.
If Germany rejects the demands,
adopting an atitude of passive re
sistance, the premiers have agreed to
put into effect the military measures
of coercion which are now hold in
abeyance until May 12 the-date when
Berlin's answer to the entente note is
made returnable.
The new figures differ to some
extent from those submitted follow
ing the Paris conference. At Paris it
was decided to ask for 150,000,000
pounds annually, plus an export as
sessment of 12i percent. Thus the al
lies have lowored the annuities one
third, and increased the indeterminate
'export tax 60 percent.
It was pointed out that the annui

GRAIN AND FRUIT
DISTRICTS.
Work on the Dufur market road,
extending west of Dufur for six
miles Into one of the most produc
tive farming districts in Wasco coun
ty, will be virtually completed this'
week, County Roadmaster P. W.
Marx announced this morning. Marx
left for Dufur today to make a final
trip of inspection over the new road.
The Dufar market road ' wil) fur
nish an outlet for the product of
three sawmills, in addition to tap
ping large grain and produce dis
tricts. It was built jointly by the
county and the state, at a cost of
about $46,000, the state's share of
this sum coming out of the state
market road fund. It is surfaced
with a fine macadam surfacing and,
with proper care, will stand ur for
years, according to Marx.
The road extends from Dufur in
such a direction that a' connection
may be made with the Mt. Hood loop
road in the years to come, if it is
deemed advisable, it is pointed out.
Marx now has a crew of men
busy surveying the new Antelope
grade, for the grading of which the
county court has availp.ble $47,000
from an old bond issue. This road
will have a maximum grade of five
percent. When all survey figures are
completed, plans and specifications
will be made and bias for the grad
ing asked for. All money left from
the $47,000 . allotted to this road,
after the grading has been complet
ed, will be spent in the laying or
a macadam surface, Marx explained.

CONSTRUCTION FOREMAN
THINKS MOSIER BLOW.UP
IS I. W. W. JOB.
That the terrific explosion which
Saturday night wrecked tho A. H.
Kern Construction company's powder
house near Mosier might have boon
the work of I. W. W., in lino with the
expected country-wide May day dem
onstrations, was tho opinion advanc
ed yesterday, by foremen of tho con
struction company to Sheriff Chris
man, investigating tho case.
One foreman told Chrlsman that he
had hoard somo of tho men talking
about tho planned I. W. W. May day
demonstrations, following the explo
sion, and that he belioved that such
a supposition was the only logical ono
which could" be advanced, judging
from the evidence.
A party of campers near tho scene
of the explosion reported to Chrlsman
that they had seen a man, apparently
a laborer, hurrying away from tho
powder houso shortly before the big
blast shook the earth.
About 50 korrs of black powder and
12 cases of dynamite were stored In
the powder houso at the time of tho
explosion. As nearly as Chrlsman
could ascertnln from examining tho
shattered fragments of the building,
the building had been set afire from
the outside, the fire eating Its way
through the dry boards until the
powder ignited.
The powder house was located on
Rock creek, about half a mile from
Mosier. Tho force of the explosion
burled rocks the entire distance to
Mosier. Several store windows in the
city were shattered by the concus
sion which was distinctly felt for
miles around.
No injuries are known to have re
sulted from tho blast. Sheriff Chrla
roan expects to continue Investigation
of the case.

ford later died of exposure, accord
ing .to a wireless report.
The Tokuyo Maru carried only five
passengers, according to Captain Suz
uki, all of whom have been account
ed for.
Built last year in Japan, the Tokuyo
Maru was on the return half of, her
