THE MIRROR VOLUME 3. BOARDMAN, OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 1923. NUMBER 18 BRITISH DENY RIGHT TO REGULATE LIQU6 Say U. S. Has No Jurisdiction Over Stores of Foreign Vessels. Washington, D. C Great Britain's position on the ships' liquor question as communicated to the state depart ment by the British embassy, is under stood i be 'iased on at ": 'Ion that AmorU-ii j.-rt autiic.i. . -ave a J jurisdiction in international law over liquor brought into American waters as a part of the regular supplies ol foreign vessels. The authority of American officials, under this construction, extends only to portions of the cargo of foreign ships which are intended for importa tion into the United States, and in no way permits of interference w ith either the physical mechanism, rations or stores of such vessels when tiiey put into American ports. While this principle apparently con flicts with that recently laid down by the supreme court, indications are in creasing that the treasury department has found a way to reconcile the two by permitting ships under foreign reg- lstry to list the wine rations of their crews as a part of the medicinal stores permissible under the law.

Premier Poincare and his j colleagues in the cabinet submitted their resignations to President Miller' and, but the president declined to ac cept them. The action of the ministers was the outcome of the refusal of the senate to proceed with the trial of Marcel Cachin and other communists charged with Illegal acts against the French republic. The ministerial cris .i ended as quickly as it arose; to be exact, it lasted a half hour. TJje entire chamber of deputies, with the exception of the communists, gave Premier Poincare a great ovation ( when he entered the chamber for the continuation of the Interpellation! on the Ruhr. The communists hooted the premier. The charges against the commun ists still stand in spite of the senate's decision, which was simply on the method of procedure. Billion Offered for U. S. Ships.

It Is announced. The Oregon Editorial association will participate this year Iff orte of the most unique conventions in the history of the state's organization of newspaper men. Plans are complete for participation of the editors in the third annual Mount Hood climb of the Hood River Post, American leg ion, which, according to interest Bhown In various northwestern com munities, will attract an estimated 750 visitors. The combined editorial and legion party is expected to set a record in northwestern mountain clll-lbing. The number gathered at the highland forest camp, on the banks of the sparkling Tilly Jane on eh and at the very edge of Mount Hood's perpetual snow, will far ex ceed that of any former recreational party ever held in the state, and the legionnaires, whose guides last year escorted 111 to the summit of the peak, expect the "Over the Top" party this year to be doubled. Delegates to the editorial conven tion will assemble in Hood River Friday morning, July 13. The day's activities will include tours of in spection through the refrigerated cold storage plants of the Apple Growers association and quarters of tanning, vinegar and cider compan ies, registration and a business sess ion. On the evening of the first day of the convention the Hood River Chamber of Commerce will enter tain the lsliing n wspaper folk with a banquet at the Columbia Gorge Hotel, noted as the northwes 'a mo t beautifully equipped tourist 1 hos telry. Among the speakers at th3 banquet will be: Hon. J. Adam B d formerly representative in congress from Minnesota, who Is known na tionwide for his wit; Hon. N. J. Sinnott, representative in "ingress from the Eastern Oregon district; Judge Kred W. Wilson, president of of the Oregon Bar association, and Capt. Ceo. R. Wtlbur, commander of the Department of Oregon, A terlcan Legion. On Saturday morning the editor ial party will leave Hood River early enough to reach the mile-high Leg ion camp for an early lunch. The tourney by auto, will cary the visi tors over the Hood Rivet valley trunk of the famous Mt. Hood Loop highway, through the orchard . fruit of which is knov n In the markets of all the world and on into the Oregon National Forest. The editors for the afternoon will be provided with a natural amphi theatre in a mountain ravine, cano pied with white firs and hemlocks. Here they will be permitted to with draw and conclude the formal bus iness of their convention. E-a:.) rdap night will be devoted o a campfire program, where mem bers of the Legion party and editors will vie in song and story. Parties will leave the base camp for an ascent of the mountain at day break on Sunday and Monday morn ing. Those wiio prefer Ins stronu .,ight -seeing excursions will be con ducted on trips to the lee cascades of the glaciers and over the expans !s of the blossoming meadows in the vicinity of the camp. The members of the Editorial As- cociation Will be honon gue3ts of the legion thil enr. Through the courtesy of the Legion Post and the : citizens of Hood River, the excur j sions into the scenic mountain reg- j ton Will be afforded the uowspap T i folk without a cent of expense on their part. Through the cooperation of Adjutant (leneral George A. White, blankets of the llood River National Guard Company will he ' made available for the editorial party, thus relieving I hem of the bother of transporting such equip ment. The Hood River Legion initialed the Mount Hood climb In lgj, The plan materialised when a party of ex-service tier, was considering1 a summer vacation reunion of mem bers of old Company 12, Oregon Coast Artillery, mobilised from Hood Rlvef in 1 !l 1 7 for Great War ser vice. The mountain open to public par ticipation was suggested. Vision of Legion members saw how the activi ties of the Pott could be turned to ward bringing a popularisation of Mount Hood by affording an annual outing at a minimum of expense through Legion organisation. The Ordinary excursion into the moun tain region, with its costly packing and guide service, places the recrea tion beyond the average vacationist. The annual Legion parties, however, make it possible for anyone to visit the mountain and make tin a.scent to the top for only a nominal charge. The Legion Post does not aspire to ward making the recreational ven ture one of profit. The two years' work of the Hood Rlv r Legion Pest has already done mor toward making Oregonlans ac tually acquainted with Mount Hood than any other organization of the state, with the exception of the M a lanas, and the well attended party of this year Is expected to double th" exploitation results of any past year. It Is the aim of the Hood River L giOB Post gradually to enlarge the scope of their annual summer party Washington, D.
