Consul General Uodlker and Mrs. olidiker arriv ed here yesterday on a pleasure tour of the world. "Germany has been given only such consideration as could be ob tained from compromises between England and France," said the diplomat. "The non-evacuation of the C-logn district Is an example.

ATTEMPT TO FILM RACES IN ROME IS A6AND0;D Hollywood. Cal., Jan. 10. Home is a poor place for a chariot race- just now, thanks to the political upheaval of recent weeks and the Hollywood company which has been trying to film a picture there has been ordered to pack up U cameras and grease paints and come home, it was announced here last night by the producers, who financed the venture. Disturbances In the city Itself have crippled actual filming oper ations, It was explained and tho censorship of telegraph and cable contmunicatioi.s has made it 1 im possible for executives here to keep in touch with directors there. Un completed portions of the film. which were to have been "shot" among the seven bills of Rome, will be finished In peace and quiet umong the foothills of Hollywood.

CM To the Editor: After reading le tiers in the Journal from partieu out of employment I was remind ed of the propaganda In the cam paign of four years ago when the cry was, let us go back to nor malcy. That Issue won by an im mense majority but the cost of liv ing continually ir-creased and the last month of 1891 it reached 3 per cent in December alone. In the last campaign the cry was elect Cooli-jgc or no work. As the old example of the manufacturer of Sa lem who called bis men in and told them that If the income tax car ried and Coolidge was defeated his factory would closo and parties tumbled over each other and vot ed away their principles to retain that little Job and Judging by the election returns there should be a dozen jobs for every person. We have a cord of ?tov wood on our parking and our door nob Is Worn out answering calls of men who fay they must have a Job and can not get It and when it gets dry enough I shall havo It removed in order to stop the annoyance. The state houpe Is overrun wltn applicants and we read articles in your forum from parties out of em ployment who innit that no one shall be employed who is able to live without it and they even insist that where two are employed out of the same family that one must be discharged regardles of effi ciency in order to give home oth er one a Job and I dare say many of these swallowed that old old dose and voted against their prin ciples for a measly little Job. I care not what party it Is there should be a law to punish those unscrupulous parties who bribe and intimidate the voters every four years in order that they them eeh'es may be benefitted. A HEADER.

(Docs Dr. Byrd or Jasper Skaif remember It, when they were boys) I'or SO years it has shaded our door yard from the eastern sun and many a weary team rested beneath its shade. Later the tourists stopped, one traveler said, I have traveled all over the world and I have never seen a more beautiful tree so beau tifully situated. Its space on the ground takes only about 30 inches while its branches extend for over 60 feet over the entire road. Its a thing of beauty for the highway. V.ut for me it would not seem like home without it, and now .they are talking of cutting it down, because they are going to hard surface the Salem-Champoeg road past my farm. That's why I am pleading to all old pioneers and their genera tions to all lovers of beauty along the Oregon highways to those who are preserving the trees In our state, and cities, to those who have charge of the floral decora tions to the elks and the Masons and the Odd Kellows, to the K. K. K.s and the K.

Now, I House Peters IN "The Tornado" NOW 1 COILEEN MOORE KENNETH HARLAN KID KcCOY IN "April Showers" NOW LIBERTY "His Hour" BY Elinor Glyn III P L STORY FEATURE OF GRAND'S BILL One of the moHt thrilling love stories ever written is brought to the screen at the Grand theatre where "Ills Hour," the Metro Goltlwyn plcturizatlon of the Eli nor Glyn story is being shown. A young English widow. Tarn ara Loraine meets Gritxko, a Rus sian prince. She ia prim and con ventional duo to the fact that she has been reared as one of the linKlih arlstocray and her emo tions are hidden far beneath aj frigid exterior. Gritzko, on the I other hand, is wild, impulsive. handsome and the most beloved man In all Russia. Tamara is at tracted to him, but resolves not to fall under his spell as every other woman has. She Intricues I him by her distant charm, which la different from anything he has over before encountered. By her pronounced aloofness she spurs him to deeds of deviltry. She openly dislikes him, but is real ly hypnotized by the brilliant fas cinating prince. The afafir reaches a climax and I alone, am defending It. "Woodman spare tlie tree Touch not one single bouMh, In youth it sheltered me And 111 protect It now." The Salem-Chan'poeg road you know is a crooked road, it winds in, and out, so altogether the tree stands In the middle of the road from the sway at Homer Egane, the hard surface road could go al most straight, as It does now. Just on the west side of the tree, where it would have 30 feet space. If not enough, I would move my fence, as I own the land both sides of the road. It would go past almost straight, that would be the state road, if we could collect even 10 cents each from donaters for the old oak tree, we could build an oak tree branch. Just a tiny, road of about 100 feet on west side of tree merging out and in to main road with scarcely a bend, and north and south of tree there would be just tho narrowest strip left for the floral society to plant a half dozen rose bushes and the tallest ever blooming climbing roses with evergreen foliage, or ivy, to climb the tree. The tiny oak tree hard surface road would give the trav eler two roads full with instead of one road while passing tree, then who should complain. The sur toundl'.igs too, at this spot will look charming to the traveler. In my dooryard, and barn yard stand the white oak companions of the tree two loftier locust trees, and tall pear troes planted by Bent Jones Uncle Sampson Jones, about C5 yoars ago, who then owned and named the White Oak farm. Any on .wishing to eend their mite, with names to savo the tree, either individually or collectively. (Money wll bo returned if project fails) Address Ella M. Kinney, Route 2 Clervals, Or.
