DEMOCRATS LOSE
CONTROL OF HOUSE
Both Major Parties Have 215 Each
According to Late Returns.
ONE SEAT REMAINS IN DOUBT
Two Progressives, One Socialist and
One Independent Are Seated 1
Speakership is in Doubt.
New York With returns missing
Saturday from only one congressional
district in the United States, the Re
publicans and Democrats each had
elected 215 representatives. The vote
in New Mexico, which is still in doubt.
probably will determine which party is
to have a plurality of one over the oth
er. The present member from New
Mexico is a Republican.
The balance in the next house will
be held by four men, one a Progres
sive-Protectionist from Louisiana, one
an Independent from Massachusetts,
one a Progresssive from Minnesota and
the other a Socialist from New York.
Their action apparently will determine
the choice of a speaker, as well as the
fate of legislation which is supported
or opposed on purely party lines.
In addition to the hope of electing a
congressman-at-large from New Mex
ico, the Democrats had one grain of
comfort. It waB that an official count
may disclose that Thomas J. Scully
has been re-elected from the Third
New Jersey district. They contend
the chances were that Scully had been
the victor by a few votes over Robert
Carson, his Republican opponent, to
whom the election previously had been
conceded by a narrow margin.
A reversal in Iowa, where complete
returns showed the election of George
C. Scott, Republican, over Congress
man Tom Steele, in the Eleventh dis
trict, and the election of Republicans
in the Second and Third West Virginia
districts, brought about the present
tie. Four members of other parties
have been elected.
Late returns appeared further to
complicate the congressional situation,
Congressman James J. Britt, Republi
can, of the Tenth North Carolina dis
trict, was reported to have defeated
his Democratic opponent, whose elec
tion previously had been conceded.
The senate remains unchanged, 54
Democrats to 42 Republicans.
Villa's Gains Delay Decision of
American-Mexican Commission
Atlantic City, N. J. Confirmation
of reports of the increased strength of
various reactionary movements in
Mexico served to offset, Saturday, the
apparent determination of the Mexican-American
joint commission to
effect an early adjustment of the prob
lem the two governments are facing.
Until official reports reveal the
truth of the stories of Villa's successes
in the North and of the progress made
by other reactionaries in the south,
tnere appeared a probability that an
agreement would be entered into, per
haps next week. That appeared less
likely, and the chance of a formal ad
journment without an agreement other
than one of the most general character
seemed more probable.
Reports received by the Americans
from official sources and others re
ceived by the Mexicans from their
government, dealing, with the activi
ties of Villa, were studied at the con
ference Saturday. The result of the
comparison of the reports was to dis
close that General Carranza is now
conducting a defensive campaign
against Villa with a battle at Escalon
imminent, instead of prosecuting an
offensive campaign against him.
From the source come reports, ac
cepted as reliable, that Felix Diaz1
forces are in possession of Rincon An
tonio, a station on the Tehuantepec
railway, which extends from Salina
Cruz, on the Pacific, to Puerto Mexico,
on the Gulf of Mexico. Diaz was re
ported in the state of Chiapas. It wss
believed that the men in command of
the Diaz forces that took Rincon An
tonio are Canuto Reyes and Ysaba
Robles, formerly active in the support
of Villa.
German Anger is Stirred.

Crossings to Be Guarded.
Salem To obtain information and
suggestions looking toward legislative
action to provide for the elimination
and protection of grade crossings of
railroads and public highways, the
Oregon Public Service commission an
nounced Wednesday that it would hold
hearing in Portland November 23.
State, county, municipal and rail
road officials and all interested are re
quested to be present.
Statistics show that accidents are
increasing yearly at grade crossings,"
said Frank J. Miller, a member of the
commission, "and in this state there
are approximately 2800 grade cross
ings, 9b per cent of which have no
protection other than the ordinary
standard highway crossing warning
sign. In the last eight years there
have been many accidents at these
crossings, 147 of them being attended
by serious injury and 40 proving
fatal."
. Lumber Shipping Steady.
Marshfleld C. A. Smith, chairman
of the board of directors of the C. A,
Smith Lumber & Manufacturing com
pany, is authority ' for the statement
that the company will not at present
make any changes in its method of dis
posing of its lumber output from the
two mills on Coos Bay. Mr. Smith
was in Marshfleld recently and while
here gave reasons for continuing the
shipment of the mills' output to Bay
Point, California.
When terminal rates were granted
for lumber over the Southern Pacific,
it was believed the Smith mills, like
several others on Coos Bay, would ar
range to manufacture a large portion
of its lumber on Coos Bay. Mr.
Smith declared the company's plant at
Bay Point is a large concern and the
business is well established and perma
nent.

Farming System Better.
Klamth Falls "Since I was here
two years ago a marked improvement
has been made by the farmers of Kla
math county in general farming condi
tions," Baid Professor Edward B.
Fitts, extension lecturer from Oregon
Agricultural college. Professor Fitts,
with Professor J. E. Larson and Miss
Anna M. Turley, gave four farmers'
short courses in Klamath county, one
each at Plevna, Mount Laki, Merrill
and Bonanza.
"There is one general criticism I
would make of the methods of dairy
ing in Klamath county, however,"
Professor Fitts continued. "That is
as to the type of stock used. Many of
the farmers are trying to do a dairy
business and still make beef out of the
steers from the dairy cows. This can
not be done profitably."
Sunday Shows Stay Shut.
Eugene Eugene will have no Sun
day theater performances, if a decision
of Judge J. S. Coke, of the Circuit
court, is to obtain. He denied an ap
plication by the Progressive Amuse
ment company for an injunction to
restrain the city authorities from in
terfering with the operation of its
theater on Sunday.
The plaintiff attacked the city ordi
nance, contending it was in conflict
with Lord's Oregon Laws, which ex
cepted theaters from Sunday closing.
Judge Coke takes the view that inas
much as the theaters were excepted
under the state law there is no state
law applying to Sunday theaters.
Possessor Keeps Land. '
Pendleton J. W. Maloney recently

Frank Rogers for possession of a quar
ter section of Indian land. The jury

loney, who had had possession for sev
eral years, produced a new lease made

When Rogers attempted to take pos
session recently and started to burn
the stubble, Maloney ordered him off
at the point of a gun, it waa testified.

Portland Warehouses Sell
1,500,000 Pounds of Wool
Portland Several big wool deals,
involving about 1,500,000 pounds of
the Oregon clip of this year, have been
closed in this city in the past few
days. One of the transfers was a
block of 1,000,000 pounds. The wools
sold have been held here since early
summer by the Columbia Basin Wool
Warehouse company and the Portland
Wool Warehouse company. The prices
realised were not made public, but it
is known they were the highest prices
ever paid for wool in this state.
The bulk of the wool sold went to
Eastern woolen mills, but Boston deal
ers also secured several large lots.
Three or four million pounds remain
unsold in the local warehouses.
Stocks of wool in Portland have
been larger than anywhere else in the
West, except Chicago, and this fact
has turned the attention of buyers to
this city. This is what the wool men
and warehouse men of Oregon have
been striving for, the making of Port
land a wool center where stocks could
be accumulated and sold direct to the
consuming trade.
As the holders of the wools just sold
have realized a good advance over the
prices prevailing during the early part
of the season, they have demonstrated
their wisdom this time, at least in
not taking first offers, but in holding
for the late market.
Biennial Report Shows Well.
In compiling; his forthcoming bien
nial report, Superintendent of Public
Instruction J. A. Churchill, finds that
there are 1628 teachers In Oregon who
hold life state certificates or life diplo
mas. The number of teachers holding
life papers is 112 greater than in 1916.
The regularity with which the chil
dren attend school in Oregon ia worthy
of notice. Through the elforta of the
country teachers to keep the attend
ance up to 92 per cent, t,he average re
quired before a school may be consid
ered standard, the percentage of daily
attendance in the rural schools is
lightly over 90 per cent, which is
higher than in any other state in the
United States. Tha percentage of at
tendance in the city schoola ia still
higher, so that the average attendance
for the entire atate is 94.8 per cent
The number of absences from school
waa 2,817,410 less last year than dur
ing the previous school year.
Cranberry Prices on Higher.
Portland Cranberry prices were ad
vanced all along the line Tuesday. Job
bers are now quoting Eastern cranber

Coast stock at 19. 60.
The first car of Florida grapefruit
has arrived and will be quoted at $5.25
to $5.75.
Sweet potatoes are very firm at
$2.60. Local stocks are amall and
owing to the car shortage cannot be
replenished readily.
The potato market was barely steady
