IN AUSTRIAN CITIES
ROME. April 6. Serious disturb-
ancea during which several were kill
ed and wounded, when It was neces
sary to call out troops, are reported
through Austria, following the admis
sion by the war office of reverses In
the Carpathians, according to dis
patches to newspapers. In Vienna,
Budapest, Brunna and Praeue. the

peace. Troops had to be called out
day afternoon and each town and
road district Is entitled to a represen
tative. Pendleton was accorded four
representatives, one for each of the
four divisions into which the county
ia divided.

a road program that will give the
county the benefits of the open river
and will be fair to all sections of the
county,
It was to insure full representation
to all sections that a delegated meet
ing waa decided upon and in view of
the Importance to the various sec
tions of having men to represent
their wishes all towns and road dis
tricts are asked to send representa
tives. Several places have already chosen
men to represent them. The west
end towns are all organized and
meetings have been held at pilot Rock,
Pilot Rock Junction, Helix, Athena
and tome other places. Towns and
road districts not yet organized are
asked to get together between now
and Friday and select representatives.'

Major Lee Moorhouse was today
made happy through being presented
by Fred Lockley of the Oregon Jour

the old Immigrant house was black
following the rain decided to -o a
little digging. He dug Into the

6 Dashing
through a heavy sea with Incredible
speed, a giant German submarine tor
pedoed and sank the British steamer
Northlands off Beachy Head on Mon
day. Landed at Deal today by a Bel
gian steamer, some of the 24 mem
bers of the crew of the Northlanu
expressed the belief the submarine
was the famous U-12. Others were
convinced it waa an undersea raider
of newer and more powerful type.
On the heels of the news of the
sinking of the Northlands came word
from Blythe of the torpedoing of an
other trawler by a submarine in the
North sea. Thirteen members of the
crew of the trawler Agatha, landlrg
there, told of the sinking of their
vessel which made a brave attempt
to escape the German but was run
down and sent to the bottom.
The Northland8 also tried to es
cape but wag overhauled and torpe
doed.
The Northlands' crew told the most
thrilling stories of submarine war
fare yet heard. The sigtial of th3
Northlands started a dash for life.
The boats were manned but constant
ly the steamer plunged forward in
a zigzag course toward the shore. A
I gale waa blowing high and high seaj
caused even the big steamer to roll
and pitch. The submarine could be
seen gaining, cutting through the wa
ter at amazing speed. It soon came
alongside.
"Abandon your ship," was the com
mand of the submarine. The boats
were lowered and within five mln
utes, while the crew was still rowing
within 100 yards of the Northlands,
a torpedo struck her amidships and
a terrific explosion nearly broke the
vessel in two.
