Storm Damage Increased In Late Reports Port. Townsend, Wash., Feb. 7. Additional details of the storifl of last week which inflicted heveral million dollars damage to the west slope of the Olympic peninsula in Jefferson and Clallam counties, reached here today. The Lacey Lumber company es timated that standing timber worth $3, 000, 000 was uprooted on its ex tensive holdings. However a large M problems part of this can be logged. One and these mattera! reBOTt was that one third of the timber on the west slope in Clal lam county was torn down by the wind, which settlers described as the worst they have ever experi enced. Damage to the Olympic highway, inflicted by falling trees is estimated at $70,000. Twenty six houses in one farm ing community In Clallam county were blown down, and sixteen In dian cabins at La Push were demol isred. Many head of cattle were killed, but the loss in this regard cannot be estimated. There were no casualties so far as known, but fears are expressed for the safety of the family of D. P.randenberry, a settler living 25 miles southeast of Forks. There are five children in the family. None of them has been located. Hundred of elks are to have been killed, settlers reporting that near ly all of a herd of 200 were killed by falling timber. It was said here today on the word of settlers that early estim- fnn .

The Commercial club of Dallas has given a bonus of $800 to tbe Dallns Machine & Locomotive works ftnd $500 to the Dallas One of the real legislation figlr. a of the session will open tonight be fore the irrigation committee when the clashing interests of irrigation ists, bond houses, banks, promoter and contractors will be given a hearing and the charges of profi teering aired. It has been declared by the irri gation members that not over GO per cent on the dollar from the sal-? of irrigation bonds lias been real ized by the districts involved, tho balance going into profiteers pock ets. Mulcting the tanner. It is also charged, that bond brokers, though ostensibly purchas ing bonds at not less than 90 per cent of the par value, have a9 a usual thing tacked a contingent fe -upon their underwriting or con struction contracts triat has ab sorbed an additional D per cent so that the districts at the jui.ipoff re ceived but 85 cents on the dollar, without any consideration of addi tional contract cost, and this in the face of the fact that the bonds hnv been allocated by California banks ro their correspondent and subsi diary banks at 101. The sponsors for the bills con tend that they "are loaded for bear"; that when the light narrows down to the final passage or re jection of the bills that they will be "all ready to shoot" If necessary and if that necessity ortses there will be most interesting and even sensational disclosures made In re gard to the circumstances sur rounding the irrigation work which has been done in the past two years. Patterson Bond Biu. N In addition to the Irrigation measures now in rne house, Seuu tor Patterson has one in the senate, which attacks another angle of the case. For example to buy about 55,000,000 of bonds of an Oregon project, on which the state guar antees interest. If the bank should become insolvent, there might be a moral obligation involved on the part of the state. Senator Patterson's bill provides that irrigation securities, of ap proved projects which the state ia guaranteeing, must be deposited in Oregon banks and that these secur ities must be protected the same as other states funds. Against the Patterson bill there is an active lob by representing California banking concerns. There are Irrigationlsie. however, who while fighting the house bills, offer no objection to the Patterson measure, admitting that the irrigation bonds should be safeguarded and if there is any bank to make money on them Oregon banks should have the first call.

B, 207, by Kubli, increasing state aid to dependent mothers and children from $10 to $20 a month for one child and from $7.50 to $15 for more than one child with $80 H month as a maximum amount, brought forth an interesting de bate in the house of representatives today.

It was defended by Gallapher, Wells and Woodson. The bill was passed. The house concurred in senate amendment to H. B. 98 for the pub lication of legal advertising. Britain Closely Watches Moves Of Harding Set B) Kuril- C. Itii-ves. London. Feb. 8. Britain awaits the Harding administration with a keener interest than has even been shown in American affairs since days of the treaty fight In the sen ate. - Every move in Marion. Ohio, is chronicled in the British press at until,- t'UL'Tn. OnU lie. l-llll ""i, a "lop page" prominence. There are various reasons, oi I which the chief are the League of Nations and the navy controversy. trie days of the treaty fight in the senate. ! The Manchester Guardian, on th- a -.nivt rsr.i of the league's forma-1 tion. put the average man's view ! of the league very aptly. It did rot Hgree with The optimistic out- i ool; of such men as Lord Robert Cecil, but as nearly as a "foreign rr" -ts able to euage the situation. the Cuardian struck the nail on the head when it said the case oi tn League of Nations and that of Ka UfllSsn Were analogous. The world Oral n ide the mistake of consider ing Napoleon a genius, and. later, cf lool.ing unon him as a fool. Th'-n-r.rtd. the Guardian considers, is now beginning to refuse to take th ) ague seriously. Crtainly. it would apx-ar. the vieople of England stem to have the view that the league is something not very serious, a sort of experi mental plaything. Hence the keen interest with which the outworkings of the as vet hazilv sketched Harding Idea ot an "association of nations" is awaited.

Feb. 8. Much concern is being displayed by the French press over a violent anti-French campaign recently launched in several Italian newspapers, led by i he Tempo. The campaign first took the form of charges that France was trying to get more than her Just share of war reparations to the detriment of Italy. Then it swung to charges of militarism. Including the allegation that France was try ing to involve the Allies in a new war by insisting upon strict appli cation of the Versailles treaty. Recently certain Italian news papers reproduced the charge that French colored troops in the Oer man occupied zone had assaulttd Herman women. They even print ed cartoons depicting colored sol diers dragging white women by the nalr. French weekly magazines retaliated by inquiring why the Tempo's Paris correspondent is al lowed to remain in France. Should Rem n Aid The fliornale d'ltlia, organ of Baron Sonnino, former Foreign Minister of Italy, tackles matters from another angle in an editorial uiging France to "renounce the ! roblei.iatical aid of the United States and an alliance with Kng land" on the ground that the L'nited Slat'-s will never aid France at all and that England's assistance will be dearly bought. The Paris Journal des Debats. in S lengthy editorial dealing with the consequences of the Italian n hih, ... follows: "So they want us to return to the old scheme of things whereby Fiance and Italy, closely linked, should govern the world. What folly ! France and Italy would be absolutely incapable of this task; they would go under in a great catastrophe. Furthermore, for her part, France has not the ambition that seems to haunt some Italian or.iins. She wants only to live and lQ pJ. hf-r pal.t m ,he norllJ by. ideas and by intelligence, j Italy cn nourish the same legitimate a.nbition. But she must not re quire of us an alliance whieh en dangers friendship with our com mon allies. Both Italy and France have identical interests in preserv .ng the fri n l.-bip of England and the United States."

C h a p m a n's, uncomplimentary comment on the activities of cer tain legislators which it was Charged were prompted wholly by mercenary motives were the di rect cause of this morning's flood of invictives which were hurled up on the head of the Voter editor.

Price Three Cents Secession Is Issue of South African Ballot General Election To day to Decide If State" Is to Be Inde pendent of Britain London, Feb. 8. No lesa KaI as issue than the secession of an im portant state of the British empire by ballot arises in the election to day of a new legislative assembly in the-union of South Africa. Broadly, the question ia whether South Africa, comprising the vtav Incea of the Cape of Uood Hope. Natal, Transvaal and Orange Free State, Shall continue allegiance to the king of England aa one of the self-governing dominions of Uie empire, or whether the South Afri can Union shall set up as an inde pendent republic. English sympathies naturally ai' with the loyalists. Both section are, however, admired for their de cision to settle differences by the ballot lather than by more drastic means. At the head of the loyalist sec tion is General J. C. Smuts, former Boer general, now prime minister of the union. He is better known, as one of the leading advocates ot the league of nations. Opposed to him is General Hertzog, also 'a, for mer Boer military leader. In the general elections of March 1920 the Hertzog party obtained 4 1 seats In the legislative assembly, thus becoming numerically the largest party. It was supported in Its opposition to the Smuts govern ments by a labor party of it. The result today Is said to hinge on the success of the thir or bal anoe of power party, (hat of tabor. Bngllsh political observers expect a small but working in ijority for General Smuts. Confusion of issues iiaa artan as a result of the nationalist)) tnabillty to agree upon the time of thi es tablishment of a republic. Radi cals insist upon immediate rutting away from the British mpire, while others make the time inde terminate. General Hertaog's opinlo.i Is Miiit to have been expressed in siieech when he declared for South AVrlca'aj right to secede from the Hrltiah empire. In spite of ihe net of un ion, he Is quoted. South Africans have the right to alt",- their consti tution to gain independence. If the king should refuse to alter the con stitution, he would be approached again and again and in the end Ihe king would be convinced that it wws better to have an independent friend than a dependent enemy.
