PRESIDENT WILSON MAY
MAKE VISIT IN OREGON
Washington, Jan. 7.—Presi­
dent Wilson expects his trip to
the Panama canal, the San Diego
and San Francisco expositions,
and his speaking tour afterwards
to last from March 5 to May 1.
He told callers today he planned
to be away from Washington forj
that period unless public busi­
ness necessitates his presence
here.
An invitation to include the Pa­
cific northwest in the itinerary
was extended to the president
today by Senators Chamberlain
and Lane o f Oregon ; Borah and
Brady o f Idaho; Sutherland of
Utah, and Jones and Poindexter
o f Washington. He promised to
take in those states if possible.
Brussels, Jan.
9.— ‘ ‘ If the
United States had not come to
our aid, it would have meant
starvation for most o f u s ," said
Alfred Nerinex, provisional bur­
gomaster o f Louvain, to the As­
sociated Press today. "W e are
willing to work, but we cannot
when the doors are closed to ex­
ports. W e cannot buy food,
even if we have the money, when
the doors are closed to imports.
It is no fault o f ours if we starve.
Feed us now and we will pay you
back in industry when the war
is over.
"W e are paying back now in
gratitude for the lives America
has saved gratitude which will
endure as proof that human af­
fections is stronger than any trea­
ty alliance.
Bread Riots Are Feared.
"H ere in the midst o f the ruins
o f my town I do not lose heart.
I know we shall rebuild it all, if
only we can have food to keep
us alive. The most powerful
army in the world cannot Teuto-
nize Belgium, but America, arm­
ed with bread, is Americanizing
Belgium. My worst fear is that
there will be bread riots if the
relief stops."
M. Nerinez said the population
o f Louvain was only 3000 less
than before the German occupa­
tion. The people whose homes
had been burned are living with
their
neighbors. The burgo­
master said he was giving work
to the idle by having them clean
the streets and repair houses
which can be made habitable.
Grants Pass is pushing for
three new industries in 1915 a
beet sugar factory, a custom mill
to crush ore, and a plant to pre­
pare lime rock for fertilizer.
Seventy men with families
have been set to work digging
sewer ditches in North Salem.
Albany, Or., Jan. 9.—After

month, the Corvallis & Eastern
Railroad shops in this city reop­
ened this week with practically a
full crew. About 60 men are be­
ing employed now.
