Totally blind for the part fifteen
yean, Carl. Guiott, one of Pendleton's
seat known muilctans, suddenly re
tained night of one eye yesterday
afternoon and la today the happiest
man In the whole country.
He Is looking for his first tlm-i up
on the face of the wife who hot
been his loyal helpmeet for thirteen
years of his darkness and la behold
ing for the first time his ten year old
oon. Likewise he Is becoming ac
quainted with the faces of friends
whose voices he has known for yeara
and is razing with delight upon the
streets which he has traversed with
out seeing.
lie was wulklng In the business
district of tha city when hU vision
returned to him. He had entered the
East Oregonlan office at S :30 and
had been helped up the steps by a
boy. He left a few minutes later and
had gone but a half block when ho
was selxed with a dlzlness. Think
ing he had become overheated and
might be having a sunstroke, he
stopped. Hlue flashes suddeny be
gan to appear before his right eye,
following each other at Intervals and
lengthening. Suddenly objects began
to form before him during the
flashes and he made out telegraph
poles, buildings and persons.
Amazed and Incredulous, he mado
his way to the office of a physician
who tested his eyes and discovered
that vWnn had returned to the right
either temporarily or permanently.
He warned Mr. liulott that he might
be hlind again by morning. "No, I
won't,'' said the musician. "I'm go
ing to keep my sight."
Despite his feeling of self-issur-anc,
however, he decided not to lope
his opportunity of seeing nil that ho
could while his sight was with hlm.f
He hastened home to his wife and nnj
who were quite as overjoyed as he..
He called up his friends over the
teliphonu to let them know of his
good fortune and he accepted the In
vitation of U. W. Fletcher, whom he I
had known Intimately for years but
whom he had never seen, to tako a(
ride over the city.
' Mr. Guiott came here 18 years ago
and at that time could see lndls-i
tlnctly out of one eye. For fifteen
yeais, however, he had never been
able to see tho physical part of his
home town and during the evening,;
us he rode about in the auto, he ex-,
claimed in pure delight at the many
buildings and improvements new to;
him. He read the signs on the store
fronts, and drank In the various j
acenea that were passing with more.

Umatilla Forest Furnishes
Grazing for Thousands of
Head of Sheep and Cattle
Over sixty thousund sheep and
nearly ten thousand horses and cat
tle grazed In the Umatilla national
forest last year, according to the an
nual report Just completed by Su
pervisor W. W. Cryder. The repot,
'which covers the business done from
July 1. 1914 to June 80, 1915, shows
other Interesting things as well.
There were 3 1-2 miles of road
constructed, 12 miles of telephone
lines, two lookout towers for five
observation, one cabin for rangers'
headquarters and storage of govern
ment property and four mllea of fenc
ing to enclose pastues on ranger sta
tions, according to the report.
Five special-use permlta were Is
sued, covering various uses of the
forest, such as drift fences and tele
phone lines.
There were 163 grazing pormlta Is
sued for cattle and horses, coverlnl
ttti head, and 44 permlta for sheep,
totaling 60,619 head.
An analysis of these figures by
grade shows that 91 cattle and horse
permits were Issued for from 1 to
40 head; 34 for from 41 to 100; 19
for from 101 to 200; and nine for
over 200 for each permit.
For sheep eight permlta were Is
sued for under 1000 head; 14 for
from 1001 to 2500; and two for over

WASHINGTON", Aug. ..An ulti
matum or a strong message amount
ing to ao ultimatum is what a contin
gent of exporters want from President
Wilson In answer to Great Britain's
refusal to modify the British order-in-council
and the rejecting of all the
American contentions as to the rights
of neutral commerce.
A combined effort is to be mude to
force the president's hand to accom
plish the freedom of the seas at the
earllext possible moment. Cotton in
terests are the strongest element In
the movement. Packers, whose ship
ments consistently have been held up
by England, are next. Behind them
is a smaller body of exporters and
with the formidable aggregate array,
the combine is confident of forcing
a program through one way or anoth
er. The plan of the combine Is to de
mand that the allies cease Interfer
ence with all shipments consigned In
neutral countries. In the event of a
refusal of this demand they would
call an extra session of congress and
place an embargo upon shipments to
the allies.
They will seek to have the presi
dents note to England fix a time limit
In which the American demands may
be 'accepted and this would amount
to an ultimatum. Falling to succeed
In their efforts to get an extra session
of congress, should England agnin re
ject this country's demands, the ex
porters will Valt until the next rcgu
las session and will then make a
strong fight to have their program,
designed to force a recognition of
their rights, put through. They al
ready are nrranging for a publicity
campaign In support of their position.
Their view is that submarine warfare,
with the resultant loss of American
lives, is overshadowed by the damage
resulting from the blockade of the al
lies. Isn't it queer how often a straight

In a German air attack upon
Warsaw, It was stated. The
aircraft attempted to destroy
the Vistula river bridges In an
effort to hinder the retreat of
the Russians, but the bombs
fell harmlessly Into the river.
PETROGRAD, Aug. J. A great
smash is being directed by the Ger
mans against the railroad from War
saw to Petrograd. In an attempt to
cut this communication the Teutons
have been reinforced by S'lO.OOO
troops probably from the western
front In command of General Von
Gallwitz they are making an attempt
at a terrific drive against the rail
road by crossing the Bug at Viskot,
30 miles northwest of Warsaw. lh
Germans evidently hope to surround
part of the Russian forces defend
ing Warsaw and force the fall of tha
city without delay.
Von Gallwitz' advance guard has
reached Olsakl. ten miles from tl'
Bug. and twenty miles from Tluscz,
where the seizure of the railroad will
be attempted. The Russian defenses
along the Bug near Vyskof, were de
clared at the war office to be strong
and well defended. There was no
ground for. belief that the Germans
will he able to crush these defenses
and sweep through to the Warsaw
and Petrograd railway in a short
campaign, it was said.

IX EMBARGO OX ARMS
WASHINGTON. Aug. 3. The co
operation of central and South Ameri
can countries will be sought in keep
ing arms from Mexico, except for the
benefit of the recognized faction. This
was Secretary Lansing's object in call
lng a conference with Ambassadors
from Brazil, Argentine, Chile and the
ministers from Bolivia, Urukuay and
Guatemala for Thursday, it was learn
ed today. The administration real
Izes an embargo on arms cannot be
made effective if supplies are sent
from this country to other American
republics and from there transship
ped to Mexico.
All the southern countries are un
derstood to be in hearty accord with
Lansing's plan for restoring order In
Mexico and no trouble is expected in
executing the program. Unless Car
ranza meets with an unexpected seri
ous reverse, his recognition by the
president Is considered a foregone
conclusion.
QUESTION OF WATER FOR
POOL WILL BE ADJUSTED
NO QFAKKEIi WILL RESULT RE
GARDING USE OF OVERFLOW
FROM RESERVOIR.
There will be no quarrel between
the natatorium committee and the
city water commission over the flsa
of the water for the swimming pool.
That much was made clear by state
ments made by individual members
of each board today. Within a short
time there will be some kind of xn
adjustment made ao that the pool
can be filled as much of the timo as
possible and etill the reserve supply
of water for the city be not reduced.
Meanwhile the pool Is In use again
today, the overflow last night almost
filling it.
The reason for the empty pool yes
terday was not in a shortage of the
overflow but because the outlet tu
the pool became clogged Sunday
night so that the pool would not
empty in time to take advantage of
the overflow during the night. Supt
Hayes and the water commission did
not feel disposed to cut down the
