FLU BREAKS OUT
IN ARMY CAMPS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. Dis
agreements in the bi-partisan con
ferences looking to compromise
peace treaty reservations today
brought the senate leader's commit
tees in the verge of a break and
caused a movement among the sen
ate rank and Mia toward a different
solution of the treaty deadlock.
Opn rupture today of the leaders'
conferences was averted, temporar
ily at lesst, by passing over the dis
putes on the I-odge reservation re
garding enuallty of voting in the
league of nations.
The bi-partisan conference will
meet again late tomorrow, but with
leaders of both factions doubtful as
to the- possibility of ultimate agree
ment.
lndeeiHlent Move Humored
Prospects of failure of the leaders'
conferences and of formal suspension
of their sessions today moved "mild
reservation" Republicans and a few
emocrats not members of the lead
ers' committees to discuss indepena
ent moves toward a solution of the
treaty solution. One "mild" reser
vation Republican spokesman said
such a .move would be forthcoming
it conferences of the leaders fail
within a few days to give more as
surrances of a compromise.

winters in that section, occurred In
December. The trees were fairly
weu ripened, we understand, and as
nearly dormant as could be expected
from previous cold weather, and a
foot or more of snow on the ground.
It is recalled also that you stated
that your foreman on the ground ad
vised you that the bark was separ
ating from the wood and perhaps
had begun to crack. It Is noted that
your principal interest is in some
50 acres of walnut trees, and that
you have a large number of prunes
and some other fruit.
Winter Injuries Vary.
. "From our previous repeated ex-
perience with frost. In juries, we can
pretty nearly guess the type or types
pt injury to be expected under these
conditions, though it is not easy to
tell the degree of severity. Thia will
probably vary considerably in differ
ent parts of the orchard and on dif
ferent trees. It would be very de
sirable for us to eee samples cut
frpm some of these trees if you care
to sacrifice a limited number for that
purpose. These samples could show
four to six Inch sections ot the trunk,
main limbs, and smaller branches,
and should be taken from the wlrst

least injured trees. We will be very
glad to make a thorough examina
tion of any samples that you can se
cure for this purpose.

"These different types and stages
are brought about not alone by low
temperatures or the degree of cold
but by a combination of tbe weather
conditions and tbe condition of the
tree .with special emphasis on this
latter point, since It Is likely to be
partly overlooked.
"The various conditions which

OREGON HARBORS
GET LARGE SUM
Among the other vetoed measures
announced yesterday the "straight
party: bill Introduced by tha senate
committee on Judiciary and which la
said to have emanated from tbe He
publican central committee for Mult
nomah county: The bill was fought
by Democrats and Independent Ke-
publicans in the legislature.
Klerf ormt Shoald Decide
It seems that an attempt la made
In this bill to so amend our election
laws that tbe so-called 'straight par
ty ticket may be pnt Into ase." says
Governor Olcott .In his veto message
on this bill. "Any such sweeping
change as this in the ballot vitally
affects .every voter la the state ot
Oregon. Snch. vital changes which
go toward the heart of oar form of
government should be finally paased
upon by the people alone. As a nat
ter of principle, I would be unalter
ably opposed at any lime to allowing
such legislation to be enacted Into a
law without Its Hm receiving the
sanction of the electorate.
In placing hia veto on senate bill
No. 22." Introduced' by Howell of
Multnomah, the governor sharply re
bukes surety companies for designing
to evade their responsibilities. The
bill Is an act to amend section C$5.
Lord's Oregon laws, as amended by
chapter 257 of the general law for
1919. and relates to the release of
sureties on bonds and other under
takings. Kxperievre Tiring Veto . I
"This." avers the governor, "is a
bill apparently designed to make It
easier for surety companies to evade
the responsibilities which they eater
lrto when becoming ssrety on a
bond. It baa been the experience ot
many. Including tbe state, tht sure
ty companies too often endeavor to
use the laws to evade their responsi
bilities." Senator Moser'a "VUta Home"
bill is another that meets the execu
tive disapproval. It is senate bill
No. 2.
"This bill." says tha veto message. .
"is designed to validate, ratify, eon- t
firm snd approve the expenditure ot -all
moneys and all contracts entered ',
Into by the board of county eomxals- I
sloners of Multnomah county la the !
construction of the building known !
as the 'Vista House.' I believe that
the board of county commissioners '
of Multnomah county Is willing to
stand tbe responsibility for Its own
acta. ,
Two other bills killed" by tbe veto
sre bonne bill No. 2S. by Thrift, pro
viding for eradication of livestock
diseases and the creation of tha of- '
fire or a county meat and herd tnapec-
tor in coos county, and senate bill
No 6, by tbe committee on Irrigation.
to validate tbe organization of ear- (
tain drainage districts.
IU1 Held LiocsJ
Relative to the former, the gov
ernor says: "This bill provides tor
the' creation of the office ot county
meat snd herd Inspector for Coos
county, Oregon. It is portly a local
meavire and. regardless of what lo-j
cal merit it may have, should have
no consideration at tbe special see-.
ion of tbe legislature." j
Concerning the latter bill the gov-i
ernor observes that "Section S of the-
Million Dollars Is Allowed by
Congress for Waters of
This State
The sum of $1,000,000 is appro
priated for the improvement and for
the maintenance of Improvements to
western Oregon rivers and harbors
by a bill that was passed by congress

bill provides that 'all pending actions
attacking tbe organization of dis-
trlcta coming under the provisions;
of the act shall abate. Such a pro-!
Tialon I consider dangerous and ill-'
advised." j
Concerning the 11 road bills there
was much conjecture ss to whether;
they would receive approval of the:
