D. Keeler, veterinary sur geon or this city, suggests a line of conservation that is not pleasant to think about but is open to con sideration nevertheless. He calls at tention to the number of farm ani mals that shuffle off from the scene of action by natural causes, and hicb in the majority of cases are dragged off by the owners and bur led on the shortest notice. The idea of utilizing the carcass is seldom harbored, partly because of aversion and partly through lack of facilities. Over In Europe this would never oc cur, for every part of the body would be put to some use the manufacture of glycerine, soap. glue, phosphate and fertilizers. The same he says could be done in this country if each farm community possessed facilities for rendering, and the doctor sug gests that each county should ar range for the establishment of small plants in' various locations for the purpose of utilizing this waste. New Gas Generator Not Yet Ordered by Company Manager V. II. Hamilton, of the Portland Railway Light & Power company, returned yesterday from a conference withthe company officials' in Portland, and wntle there Is noth- ing definite with regard to the m 3t-' ter of installing a new gas generator in the local plant, he states that the company has cpened negotiations for the equipment with eastern manufac turers, anticipating favorable action by the public service commission In the adjustment of rates. A wire was received from the manufacturers yesterday stating that they could not quote exact prices on the new equip ment at the present moment owing to a revision of their schedules. No steps will be taken until an under standing Is reached with the manu facturers. The generator contem plated would figure "at about $6000 under the old rates, and it can only be conpectured what It will co?t un der the new prices possibly an In crease of 25 per cent. u Wind-MiUs ol Holland9' Delights Big Audience After two postponement the op eretta.

NEW FEATURE NOW PLANNED Pageant of Nations Demon stration for State Fair May Be Arranged Although the annual 6tate fair is still several months awayfeSecretary A. II. Lea and his associates are al ready studying upon features which If carried through will make it one of the most attractive and memorable on record. One of the features as outlined in the rough by C.

Is th3 staging of an International pa geant and dramatic production, calcu lated not only to demonstrate the patriotic spirit and endeavor but In ternational leiiowsnip iue i-rfnuc of Nations. In past years a feature of Fair Week has been a Scandina vian day. The idea this season is to broaden this feature to include all the allied nations engaged In the war against Germany. Under the title "America, the Melt ing Pot of Nations." it is said there could be gathered together a wealth of national mii!', national colors, na tional cofuuiis. It is suggested that .arrangements bo made to have all the national consuls present In their own particular earb. and so far as possible to have brief addresses from each a grand symposium of fellclta tion and good-will focusscd uion the one idea of America as tne greatest factor in the. coming world-peace.

No definite statement of plans can l9 made at present but it appears that something along this line will be developed and will enlist all the local resources to make the fair an event of surpassing importance. I OFFICIAL SUMMARY I OF WAR SITUATION 'German preparations for a resump tion of the great offensive along the western front arc reported to have been completed and the Teuton leg ions are awaiting the command once more to launch themselves at the lines from which they recoiled in the first two major operations of the drive. Allied leaders believe the German blow will be struck In a few days and are waiting with supreme confidence thetrlal, of strength which may prove decisive. In the meantime, only the artillery and aerial forces of the contending armies are showing great activity. The German official repoit men tions frequent French Infantry at tacks on the western bank of the Avre, but these probably were local operations for gaining better defen sive positions or disturbing the en emy in his preparations for the great battle. In the air, however, the fighting has seemed to grow in intensity From every sector along the front aerial squadrons have been engaged in combats in which heavy losses have been inflicted. American airmen have made their appearance on the Lys battle field. according to the German official re port, which says that three Amerl can machines were brought down on Wednesday. This is the first time that American aviators have been re ported on this part of the front and it is probable that they are attached to the rge body of men which reach ed -positions on the British front re cently. The Germans have been on raid l"g foravs behind the alied lines.' On Wednesday night a determined ef fort was made by a German aerial squadron to reach Paris, but most of the machines were driven off. and dropped their bombs In the suburbs. One or two machines penetrated the defenses, but the damage .was neg llgible. There has been some sharp fight ing on the Italian front but the com bats have not been of significant character. Internal conditions in Austria.' which have been extremely critical for some time, show little Improve ment, according to latest reports. There have been renewed disorders at Prague, at which anti-German ongs were sung- and cheers given for Prmesldert n iLson. SIEZES SEVEN CORPORATIONS Til II II I.
