WASHINGTON, June 26. Irrita
tion over British Interference with
American commerce Is increasing
This was evidenced by numerous let
ten addressed to the administration
urging action. It Is believed a new
protest to Great Britain against the
detention of neutral vessels at British
ports and the bottling up of goods

will be expedited. Only a sharp note
rom Germany rejecting the presi

Upon the police court docket his name

Interpreted by the police his offense
was that of mashing. Sam Llnlnger
of this city was the complaining wit

his 15 year old daughter home last
evening and addressed her offensive

to blows upon Main street while many
spectators stood about and watched.
Finally they were separated and went
their ways, each muttering vindictive

Portland, special representative of the
Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, encoun

attacks north of Warsaw are con

Russian lines are being subjected to a
terrific bombardment and the Slavs

HAS BEEN BADLY DAMAGED
COLD WINDS M-VMED FOR HARM
WYRICK HANOI AND
OTHERS SUFFER.
That the grain northwest of Pen
dleton has been badly hurt Is the
statement of Guy Wyrlck, well known
young farmer. On his own ranch and
on neighboring ranches the damage
Is apparent to the eye from the
roads, he states, and a close exami
nation shows It to be even more seri
ous. It was not the hot winds of a few
days ago so much as the cold winds
Prior that did the damage, according
to Mr. Wyrlck. "Those cold north
winds just naturally killed a whole
lot of grain,' he said. "Prospects
were never better In that part of the
county before the winds and I was
confidently expecting better than 40
bushels to the acre. One field ef
turkey red was so badly hurt that'thc
yield will be cut down 50 per cent "
Other farmers who were hurt, ac
cording to Mr. Wyrlck, were Charles
Daniels, R. F. Hayden, Alex Gammey
and others In the same vicinity. Mr.
Wyrlck brought in samples of the
damaged grain.
Reports from the reservation show
that section also was hit by the hot
wave. Wheat that is far from filled
out la now brown and brittle. One
prominent reservation farmer today
said he figured his crop had been hurt
to the extent of 15 bushels per acre.
Miss Sarah Ruggles, principal of the
Hawthorne school last year, left yes

INFLUENTIAL BERLIN PAPER

CLARES EDITORIAL.
BERLIN, June 26. A strong edi
torial published by the Berliner Tage
blatt, a powerful exponent of the pol
icies of Chancellor Von Bethmann
Hollweg, Is expected to have an im
portant influence upon the German
American situation.
The editorial, dealing with the con
troversy growing out of the sinking
of the Lusitania and the German sub.
marine warfare, appealed to the peo
ple of both countries to view the sit
uation sanely and not be misled by
Jingoes.
"It is evident that Americans have
been as badly misinformed regarding
Germany's attitude as Germany has
been regarding America's," the Tage
batt declared. "Messages that Ger
mans were Indifferent to the possibil
ities of war with the United States
caused very bad feeling, there. But
the Germans and their government
cannot too emphatically assert their
greatest desire Is to maintain rela
tions of the utmost friendliness with
America, through, all honorable
means."
