and thn demobilisation poriod. Tho

During tho war enough grain has
been usod In liquor manufacture to

Industry uses 1,800,000 measurement

The Board of Trado withdrew large

1H Youra Old Charles I'rutt
In Hiding.
Complaint by h in mother, a resi
dent of this city, that 18 year old
Charles I'rutt has been' kidnapped by
Mrs. Lot tin Short, a woman several
years bis senior, was filed with Sher
iff 8. K. Hoberts this morning.
Mrs. Pratt said that she bad not
seen her son since tho latter part
of November. A divorce case In
which Mrs. Short Is sought as a
party, is a feature of the affair, It
It understood.
Mrs. I'ratt believes that her son
and Mrs, Short are In hiding some
where, presumably In the vicinity
of Prlnovlllo, on the Marker home
stead. This ,bellef Is strengthened
by tho fact that ono of the youth's
sisters received a letter from him
recently asking that' bis mail be ad
dressed to I'rlnevllle. He Is using
the numo of Chrlstofer Jenkins.
Until the receipt of the letter, it
was thought that the two wore some
where In the Bend vicinity, but now
Sheriff Itoberts has turned tho case
over to Sheriff Knox, of Crook
County.

That ho will be perfectly contented
to live In Deschutes, instead of Crook
county, was tho statement yester
day afternoon of Gua Btudlg, of Low

plaint In quo warranto, questioning
the right of Deschutes county to do
business as a municipal orporatlon,
was filed. Mr. Htadlg was In the
city yesterday afternoon, on a brief
business visit.
Mr. Stadlg was not ready to back
down from his previous stand, but
declared that he waa dissatisfied with
the way in which the fight against
county division has beau carried on.
Ho was of the opinion that the strug
gle to bring Deschutes back into
Crook county is virtually lost, and
stated that bo would be Just as loyal
a cltlien of the new county, as of
the old.
Mr. Stadlg's name appears with
others from Lower Bridge, on "a

FIRE DISCUSSION
GROWS IN HEAT
QUESTION IS ARGUED
BY CLUB.
Bend Citizens Living In "Pool's Par
adise," Declares A. O. long
Itenham Falls and Tumalo
Resolution Adopted.
Fiery discussion of the fire pro
tection needs of Bend marked the
greater part of the meeting of the
Commercial club, held this noon at
tho Wrlgbt hotel. Members of the
club and of the city council argued
tho proposition from all sides, the
chief question being whether the
city wanted a volunteer or a paid
department and, In either case,
whether the council would take steps
to provide one, and to supply the
necessary building and apparatus.
Mayor Caldwell took the position
that nothing less than a paid de
partment would be satisfactory, but
his argument was strongly combatted
by several other speakers, chief
among whom was H. J. Overturf.
Mr. Overturf put it straight up to
the council to answer whether it
would provide the lot, the building
and the apparatus for the use of the
department which the people wanted.
Department Wanted.
At tho close of the discussion those
present voted unanimously In favor
of the organization of a department
and the increased city tax which the
necessary expenditure would entail
Preceedlng the discussion, A. G
Long, of Portland, dealer In fire-
fighting apparatus, outlined the
needs ot the city and recommended
the organization of a part pay fire
department, suitable housing for
equipment and the purchase of ap
paratus which Acould. cost approxi
mately $6000.
, , - Brrii! T'Tra1wd. " -
"You are living in a fool's para
disc," he declared, "but It is only
a step from this to adequate protec
tion. When you have provided this,
the next step is to apply to the board
of underwriters for a new rating on
property, and I predict that in four
or five years' you will save the cost
of equipment purchased. You can't
buy apparatus of me unless you are
prepared to handle it and take care
of It properly."
Mr. Long. praised Bend, comment
ing on Its new school building and
Its cluster lighting system.
Following his address, Louis Ben
nett, member of the city council,
spoke on the same topic, assuring
the club members, that the council
would welcome all suggestions, and
urging a large attendance of the
citizens of Bend at the council meet
ing which will be held this evening
for the sole purpose of discussing
the fire question.

eventuality.
James A. Farrell, Frank A. Ven
dorllp and John N. Willys are three
of the leaders ot the convention.
One special train was made up at
New Orleans. It carries the pro
gressive business lendors of the re
constructed south. Another was
coming from San Francisco. A third
was eastward-bound from the rich
hnrvost fields of the middle west.
Another from Chicago brought a
large number of railroad mon. Still
another from Now- York brought the
Wall Stroot contingent. The north
ern Lake Btates sped eastward their
copper and lumbormon. Various
group conferences will bring togeth
er from time to time representatives,
respectively, of tho banking Inter
ests, the transportation Intorests, and
the agricultural Interests.
Whether the war ends on a day's
notice or gradually through -months
or years of tedious negotiations, the
delegates are firmly convinced that
the conditions will be mot without
industrial or commorclal disaster
or evon gravo uncertainty or contus
