"Ah," said the palmist, with slow impressiveneBS, "I see by your hand that you are going to be married." "How wonderful 1" said the girl, with a blush. "And," went on the wise one, a note of acerbity in her voice, "I see that you are engaged to Mr. Binks." "Iff perfectly amazing!" gasped the girl. "How can you tell?" "By the long study of the art," came the evasive reply. "But surely the lines on my hand cannot tell you the name of " "Who said anything about lines?" retorted the Bibyl with cunning scorn.

GEN. TREVINO ABANDONS CITY Carranza Representative Thinks Crisis Is Not Yet Over Anxiety Felt for Many Small Garrisons. El Paso, Tex. Villa is moving northward from Chihuahua City, ac cording to a dispatch from General Trevino, received Tuesday by General Gonzales, at Juarez, who was ordered to concentrate his forces at Juarez. A private message coming over the same route adds that not only is Villa proceeding north, but he is in control of Chihuahua City, which General Tre vino is said to have abandoned, pro ceeding southward. General Trevino, according to the private report, said that, after effecting a junction with General Murguia, he would return and recapture Chihuahua. The message from Geheral Trevino was sent in code from Sauz by way of Ojinaga, opposite the Texas town of Presidio, where it was relayed. It said, according to Carranza officials, that Villa was moving north, and or dered the detached garrison along this section of the frontier and on the Mexican-Northwestern line to concentrate in Juarez. The message, they added, spoke of this as the fifth day of Villa's attacks. The countenances of the civil and military men in Juarez showed clearly the seriousness of the news. No, 1 think not, was the answer given by a Carranza representative of high rank, when asked whether the Villa crisis was yet over. It is understood that there are about 600 men, mostly infantry, in or near Juarez. Telegraphic communication was still open with Sauz, about 26 miles above Chihuahua the military men said. They professed consdierable anxiety about the Carranza garrison there. ueneral Murguia with his large forces had been expected daily to come to the rescue of the besieged city. Safe Conduct for Austrian Ambas sador to U. S. Refused by British Washintgon, D. C. Another contro versy between the American govern ment and the entente allies is in pros pect as a result of the refusal of the British government to grant safe con duct to Count Tarnowski, the newly appointed Austro-Hungarian ambassa dor to the United States. In the absence of officials advices on the subject officials of the State de partment were not in a position Tues day to discuss it formally or to fore cast the course the government is like ly to pursue. It was made evident, however, that unfavorable action of the British foreign office on the notice of the intention of the new ambassador to cross the Atlantic to his post came as an unpleasant surprise. It had not been doubted here that Great Britain would be the last power to deny the privileged character of a diplomatic officer on such a voyage. Aside from the belief that England would not deBire to arouse adverse feeling in the United States by inter ference with the ancient and generally unquestioned right of a neutral gov ernment to receive an ambassador or minister, officials had counted on Great Britain's record in the Mason and Sli dell case to prevent such an action as reported in Tuesday's cable dispatches, Big Gold Strike is Reported. Baker, Ore. What may develop in to a million-dollar gold strike is re ported from the Ben Harrison mine. News of the rich strike was partial ly confirmed by W. C. Fellows, mana ger of the mine, who, while highly optimistic over the outlook, was un willing to make a definite statement, pending a determination of the size of the ore body. A drift is being started to determine the extent of the strike. The ore is said to be exceedingly rich. Spokane Jitneys to Go. Spokane, Wash. A jitneyless Spo kane looms. y The city's 71 nickel-busses may be forced to suspend through inability to get the necessary bonds. The Casual ty company of America, by which every jitney in the city is bonded, has been ordered to suspend business by State Insurance Commissioner Fish- back. Its stock is said to be impaired to the extent of more than $500,000 and until this is rectified the company will be debarred from doing busines in Washington. Doomed Negro Reprieved. Topeka, Kan. William White, a negro, former United States soldier, sentenced to be hanged for murder on the Federal reservation at Fort Leav enworth, Kan., December 14, has been reprieved by President Wilson, a tele gram from Secretary Joseph P. Tumul ty to Arthur Capper, governor of Kan sas, announced Tuesday., Capital punishment is prohibited by law in Kansas, though legal on the Federal reservation. Hughes to Practice Law. Lakewood, N. J. Charles E. Hughes announced here Tuesday that on Jan uary 1 he will resume the practice of law as a member of the New York City firm of Bounds. Schruman & Dwight, 96 Broadway. His son, Charlse E. Hughes, Jr., also will enter the firm it was stated. In 1906, when Mr. Hughes was nominated for gover nor of New York, he was a member of the same firm. South America Now Buying j Wheat in Pacific Northwest Portland Australian grain dealers are establishing themselves in the West Coast trade, a zone reachod from the Northwest in times when tonnage was plentiful, and two charters were made last week for the business from the Antipodes to South America, the American ship Star of Poland being fixed at 70 shillings and the barkentine Hawaii at 75 shillings to load wheat at Adelaide for Call no. Exporters here do not look for a ma terial movement of Australian cereal to the West Coast, and reason that with the difference in the market Northwest firms easily could compete with the Australians. But the ton nage feature is a drawback, besides the big movement from this district at present is by railroad to the Atlantic and Jhence by water to Europe. Naval Base Work is Speeded. Portland To insure the least possi ble delay in getting at facts relative to advantages in the Columbia river for a naval base, the Chamber of Com merce is engaged in assembling all data under a system that will facilitate consideration by Rear Admiral Helm and his brother officers on the commis sion, while a complete chart of the Willamette and Columbia rivers, from Portland to the sea, is being prepared by G. B. Hcgardt, chief engineer of the Commission of Public Docks: The officers are due about December 15. In addition the chamber of com merce has decided to request the Com mission of Public Docks to relieve Mr. Hegardt from duty during the period the navy officers are in this district, even for a week if necessary, so that he may accompany them on their trips of inspection. Mills Ship and Run Again. Baker, Or. A slight lifting in the shortage of cars on the O.-W. R. & N. permitted Baker lumber companies to clear out their shipping sheds, and all mills were running this week. Al though the supply was not normal, it was such an improvement that mill owners were jubilant.' The Baker White Pine plant, which shut down one day because of the shortage, was able to resume with the full crew of men, and the three other mills, which had planned to Btop unless there was relfef, were able to continue. The railroad was unable to promise a normal supply or a continuation of the present services Fresh Eggs 60 to 65 Cents. Spokane Eggs generally soar more or less in price after a long spell of cold weather, but, the dealers say, the present high prices are almost, if not quite, unprecedented so early in the season. ,ggs, guaranteed to be new laid, at 60 and 65 cents a dozen, Thurs day's price, are somewhat of a luxury, and cold storage ones, at 50 cents a dozen, though useful for some pur poses, are far from cheap. So far Chinese eggs are not on sale. Butter has put on its winter price of 50 cents a pound retail for the best brands. Embargo on Cars to U. S, Vancouver, B. C. The controversy between the Canadian Pacific railroad and the American lines relative to re tention of freight cars reached open hostilities when D. C. Coleman, of the Canadian Pacific, issued instructions all along the line that under no cir cumstances should Canadian Pacific freight cars be permitted to cross the border into the United States. British Columbia shingle manufacturers are adversely affected by the order. Cana dian Pacific officials declare that Amer ican railroads have 20,000 of their cars.

Older Boys' Annual Conference To Be Held December 1-3 Nearly three hundred older boys will be assembled at Corvallis, Ore., De cember 1-3, 1916, for the Eleventh An nual State Older Boys' Conference. The fifteen and twenty addresses made by boys from as many western Oregon cities will be reinforced by the ad dresses by leaders. Among the lead ers of this conference will be President W. J. Kerr, of O. A. C, Gale Sea man, International Pacific Coast Stu dent secretary, Prof. Norman Coleman of Reed College and Rev. G. L. Clark of La Grande, Ore. Three important exhibits will be displayed; one prepared by the Oregon Social Hygiene society for Older Boys; one on Thrift prepared by the Interna tional Y. M. C.

Corvallis An agitation- was started this week by Corvallis people to have it made a provision of the automobile .laws of the state of Oregon that no person who drinks liquor to excess or who is known to be a reckless driver shall be permitted to drive an automo bile on the highways of the state. is also argued by some that an exam ination of the heart should precede the granting of such privilege. The demand for such a law followed an automobile accident in which two drunken men and a woman came near losing their lives, and the public high way was made dangerous for others because of their reckless driving. Wool Men Meet Dec. 15. Pendleton The annual convention of the Oregon Woolgrowers' association, set for December 8 and 9 at Heppner, has been postponed until December 15 and 16, according to J. N. Burgess, one of the directors. The postpone ment was made because of a conflict with the Portland Livestock show. The important measures to be dis cussed at the convention include the proposed increase in grazing fees for sheep on government reserves and the matter of keeping trails open through the reserves. $25,600 Paid tor Beets. Grants Pass The sugar factory has made its first distribution of checks in payment for beets delivered at the fac tory between the dates of October 23 and 31. In this first distribution 117 growers participated, the payments amounting to $25,640.61. The signing of contracts for next season is now un der way, and much success is reported Nearly every farmer who grew beets this year will increase his acreage, while there will be many new growers, The Commercial club appointed a com mittee to aid in securmg new acreage, Logging Line to Build.

OK Ounces for OCW M (More than a pound and W a hAli (ur quarter) .WV Seed Corn is Important. Washington, D. C The need of sources from which suitable seed com can be obtained in the semi-arid and Rocky Mountain regions is great and is increasing. Being a Bparsely-set-tled country, Bubject to extreme sea sonal variations, seed of adapted va rieties is much scarcer each year than sections where the corn crop is more certain. Nothing else would so cheaply turn many corn failures into successes as the establishment of good sources of seed corn. While a knowledge of corn breeding would be helpful, any farmer can do much toward supplying himself and his neighborhood with better seed corn by starting with a well-tested variety and selecting the best ears from the best stalks each year. By so doing, natural selection assists in weeding out the unfit. Where corn is grown for grain there no better locality from which to obtain seed than that in which it is to be planted. Where grown for the silo or for large stalk growth, seed may be obtained to advantage from a more southern locality or a lower al titude. Farmers' bulletin 415 of the United States Department of Agriculture, which may be obtained free upon ap plication, treats of the selection and care of seed corn. A point of greatest importance is that of holding over from good crops sufficient seed corn for two or three years' plantings. This is essential In the origination and perpetuation of high-yielding varieties adapted to lo cal conditions. Seed corn that ma tures well and dries out promptly without injury will keep its good ger minating and yielding power for four or five years. Seed corn of the best quality can be always available by protecting a sufficient quantity from moisture and insects and other ant mala.

Cecil, Portland, Oregon, announces that af ter careful consideration the Secre tary of Agriculture has approved an increase in the fees to be charged for grazing livestock on the National For est ranges. This increase will be made gradu ally for the next .three years, until the charges reach a point equivalent to two-thirds of the charges made by private owners for grazing stock on their land. Stock associations are being ad vised of this decision in order that statements regarding the views of their members may be submitted to the Forester by February 1, 1917, In case they desire to discuss the matter. Investigation of rental values from time to time, says Mr. Cecil, has re vealed that the Government charges for grazing on the National Forests are only one-third of the market value of the forage. Since timber and other resources of the National Forests are sold at their market value, there is an increasing demand that forage re sources should be disposed of in like manner. The National Forest were created for the primary purpose of conserv ing the timber and water supply. The grazing use of the ranges, which was found to exist when active control of the forests was begun, was treated as a secondary matter and only a por tion of the administrative cost of handling the forests was asked as a grazing fee. Since the National Forest states share in all the receipts from National Forest business to the extent of 25 per cent, the revenue to these states will be materially increased by this decision. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1916, the states of Oreson and Wash ington received $32,820.65 as their share of tiie grazing receipts from the National Forests within their bor ders. Without considering increased receipts from other forest resources this figure would be doubled by the advance in grazing rates. NEW MODERN DANCING. E. Fletcher Hallamore, the leading Dancing Ex.
