Ik-ml Luniliermwi Wan In New
York at Time of Food ItlolH,
Also Huw Cuban Trouble.
JtoturnliiK from a nix weeka' pleas
ure trip through the eunt and south
of tho United States, Including a tour
through Cuba, J. P. Keyes, superin
tendent Of tho llrooks-Scaulon Lum
ber Co. Intercut in bend, told this
morning how the recent aubmarlno
policy of Germuny la effecting the
commerce of thl country. Shipping
la badly tied up, and the car situa
tion could not be much worse, bo as
serted. "Uuninen i booming now, but un
Ich American hlp are armed so that
they will venture forth on the aeas,
tho U-boats will put an awful crimp
In trade." he stated. "Such a large
quantity of products Intended for
ocean shipment has been liultel at
terminal, with no pluco at which
they might unload that there is a bad
congestion. Probably tho best solu
tion which has been offered so far,
1 that of prominent railroad officials
who would have tho government tem
porarily take over the shipping bus
iness, commandeer the huge food
Htore which arc lying idle and dis
tribute them where most needed."
Ktplullia Food KiolM.
Mr. Keye waa In Now York City
at tho tlmo of the food riot, and as
serted that distress was not caused
by luck of money, but by tho fact
that food could not be bad.
A first hand glimpse of the fear
In which the German submarines
aro held by ship owners was gained
by Mr. Keyes and Kdward Rrooks,
who accompanied him from Santiago
to Now York. The ship on which
they sailed was tho British steamer
Tagua, for the past two year In the
hospital nervlco in the Medlterran
ou ii, and tho utmost precautions were
observed during the voyage north
Wireless messages wero received at
all times, but radio messages could
not be sent out for fear of giving
some German submarine a trace of
their whereubouts. It was because
of this that the two lumbermen were
unable to get in touch with the ladles
of tho party, from whom they had
been separated because of faulty rail
road communications, at Ilnvnna. At
night, on shipboard, all lights wero
corofully obscured.
Tells of Itcvoliillon.
Mr. Keyes was In Cuba when the
revolutionary government was es
tablished at Santiago, but was in a
neighboring town when the transfer
of authority was effected. The burn
ing of bridges on tho railroad be
tween Santiago and Havana separat
ed them by the length of the Island
from tho ladles of tho party. After
the revolutionist stook charge of af
fairs, communication with tho out
side world was practically Impossible,
Mr. Keren said. Telegraph and cable
communication was out off, and when
any news did filter in, it was so unreliable-
as to bo best disregarded.
Santiago harbor was mined with tho
exception of a narrow channel. Tho
Tagus wob tho rirst ship to leavo the
harbor In four days.
Mr. KoyoB said that tho lumber
business In Cuba was never better,
for great prosperity brought on by
the high prices of sugar, has stim
ulated building greatly. All lumber
which can bo shipped to Cuban ports
finds a rondy murkot, he declared.

ERS FROM VALLEY, AND EX
CELLENT PROGRAM CALLS
FOR REPEATED ENCORES.
MAKE B G HT
Amply fulfilling all expectations
of the management, a packed house
greeted the appearance of the Will
amette University Glee club, at the
Gand Theatre last night, and enjoyed
a program fully up to advance no
tices on the ability of the university
warblers.
Concert numbers showed long prac
tice, and in their rendering of "The
Bell in the Lighthouse," by Solman,
Schumann's "Die Zwel Grenadier,"
Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever,"
and the "Ode To Willamette," es
pecial merit was displayed. A bari
tone solo by Archie H. Smith, "The
Sword of Ferrara," was admirably
calculated to reveal the smooth qual
ity of the soloist's voice. A humor
ous reading by Gus Anderson was
cleverly handled, and a dramatic;
reading by Harry Joseph Bowers was
well liked.
Paul Anderson and James Ewlng,
billed as "squirrel food," entertained
with songs and dialogue, and Laban i
A. Steeves gave a fake ventrlloqulBt '
performance which was most amus
ing. Miss Hazel Alone Hockensmlth, In
piano and soprano solos, particularly
in her vocal selections, was excellent,
and the quartot,' composed of Karl
Chapter, Warren Booth, Gus Andor
son and Harry Bowers, proved popu
lar. "When the Corn Is Waving"'
was probably tholr best seloctlon.
Not a number on the program was
allowed t go without encore, and
In several Instances, two and even
threo reappearances were required.
