REPARATION ONLY
PEACE CONDITION
Lloyd George Demands Effec
tual Guarantee for Nations.
NEW WAR PROGRAM OUTLINED
Control of Agriculture and Shipping
and Arming of Merchantmen
Outlook Good, But Stern.
London The announcement in the
house of commons Tuesday by David
Lloyd George, the new prime minister,
that the first act of his administration
was the rejection of the proposal of
the Central Powers for a peace con
ference constituted one of the most
momentous scenes which the oldest
parliamentary veterans had ever wit
nessed.
The new premier declared that be
fore the allies could give favorable
consideration to such an invitation
they must know that Germany was
prepared to accede to the allies
terms, giving "complete restitution,
full reparation and effectual guaran
tees" and that "to enter a conference
upon the invitation of Germany, pro
claiming herself victorious, without
any knowledge of her proposals, would
be putting our heads into a noose with
the end of the rope in Germany's
hands.".
Mr. Lloyd George asserted that at
the moment Germany was penning the
note, assuring her convictions as to
the rights of other nations, she was
dragging Belgians into slavery. He
announced that the note presented
through Washington contained no pro
posals of terms, but was a paraphrase
of Chancellor von Bethman-Hollweg's
speech and that the allies had separ
ately concluded to .reject it, although
they had informally exchanged views
and would within a few days present a
joint reply.
Mr. Asquith, the former premier,
seconded Mr. Lloyd George's decision
with even stronger words, and almost
at the same moment Earl Curzon was
informing the lords that the govern
ment would enter no conference that
did not guarantee for Europe the free
and independent existence of nations,
great and small. The Marquis of
Crewe affirmed the approval of the
members of the late government.
The day was a doubly important one
for the commons, because the new pre
mier unfolded his program for wide
reaching war measures and Mr. As
quith closed the last chapter of his
nine years of leadership with an ac
counting of his war stewardship.
The principal feature of Mr. Lloyd
George's program is a measure for na
tional service, matching Germany's
latest scheme, whereby every citizen
will be liable for enrollment, to per
form work for which the authorities
consider him best equipped.
Arthur Neville Chamberlain, mayor
of Birmingham and a member of the
famous family whose energy and busi
ness capacity are rated high, will be
director of the national service, with
civil and military directors responsible
to him.
The premier prefaced his review - of
the situation by the statement that
Britons did their best in time of dan
ger; that the country should be told
unpleasant facts, and that he would
give, not a dark, but stern view of the
outlook. He deplored the - mistakes
that had been made regarding Rou-
mania. He said the government had
decided to deal lirmly with Greece
and would recognize the agents of ex-
Premier Vemzelos.
The history of the alliance had been
one of tardy decision. The Central
Powers had the great advantage of in
ternal communication and working un
der one supreme management, while
the policy pf the entente allies had
been too much one of separate fronts.
Mr. Lloyd George said he was faced
by a world-wide shortage in crops,
which had been accentuated in Great
Britain by weather which prevented
the sowing of winter wheat. He an
nounced plans for the organization of
agricultural control, for control of
shipping and arming of merchantmen,
greater control of mines and the sup
pression of the taking of excessive
profits.

Find May Be Ambergris.
Aberdeen, Wash. A chunk of sup
posed ambergris, weighing about 100
pounds and which, if it is ambergris,
is worth about $51,000, was found on
the seashore near Glen Grayland Wed
nesday by County Commissioner Phil
S. Locke. Locke will send a piece of
his find to Seattle for analysis. Am
bergris is now selling at $32 an ounce.
A former whaler, who is somewhat
familiar with ambergris, says he
thinks Locke has made a big End.
Portland Egg Boycott Slackens,
but Product is Lower, However
Portland Egg boycotters are weak
ening.
Dealers report it is not so strong as
it was, but, even at that, the price of
eggs at wholesale has been forced
down approximately 8 centB a dozen.
Before the boycott eggs were sold to
Portland consumers at 65 and 60 cents;
now they are retailing at from 40 to
45 cents.
Eggs at wholesale Thursday were 35
cents; before the boycott they were 43
cents a dozen.
This is deemed considerable of an
accomplishment for the boycotters, but
it is denied that to them belongs the
credit. The hens have again begun to
lay, it is stated, and for this reason
eggs are in better supply, with conse
quently lower quotations.
Lggs are not so high in Portland as
they were one year ago, when 60 and
70 cents prevailed for a time. That
figure is not unusual at this time of
the year, it is said.
The boycott unquestionably made
itself felt, however, and commission
men agree that consumption was les
sened. However, they maintain that the ill
effects of the boycott have been felt
by the farmer, instead of themselves
or any other factor in the marketing
process.
Peace Rumors Bring Down
Wheat Prices; Trading Stops
Portland Trade in all branches of
the grain business in the Northwest
came to a complete stop Wednesday.
Wheat buyerB absolutely withdrew
from the market, in view of the Ger
man peace proposals. With no bids
put out in the country, it was difficult
to figure out what wheat was worth,
but it was the opinion that the market
was off fully 8 to 10 cents from Mon
day's prices. Bids at the local ex
change were reduced 5 to 8 cents, but
the drop at Seattle was more severe.
The market, strictly speaking, was
in a waiting attitude and no one was
willing to operate on either the buying
or the selling side. It was the belief
of local traders that Chicago will show
further decline. The oats and barley
markets naturally were weak. Oats
bids at the Exchange were 25 to 60
cents lower and offerB for barley were
reduced $2.50 a ton.
Bond Issue is Opposed.
Kennewick, WaBh. A suit filed by
H. A. Bier, a taxpayer of Eastern Ben
ton county, and supported by others in
the Superior court for the purpose of
having set aside the proceedings of the
board of county commissioners, which
provide the issuance and sale of bonds
of $125,000 for a courthouse at Pros
ser, will be heard at that place this
week. At a meeting of the board of
commissioners two weeks ago the
bonds, were issued and sold, and
further proceedings halted by a re
straining order.

Drainage of Wet Lands '-.
Progresses in Oregon
Corvallis Several thousand acres of
wet lands have been drained and at
leaBt three drainage districts formed
during the past'scason, and people are
beginning to realize that the drainage
of wet lands holds an important place
in the development of Oregon.
To further the interests of drainage
in this state the Oregon Drainage as
sociation was formed several years ago
to aid the movement by disseminating
knowledge of drainage advantages to
the farmer and community, to encour
age discussions and investigations that
will disclose the best methods of drain
ing different soils, to issue biennial
reports, and to use any other legitmate
means to further the reclamation of
millions of acres of wet lands in the
state, where ever feasible.
The annual meeting of the associa
tion will be held at Corvallis, January
2-3-4, in connection with the Farmers'
Week at the Agricultural college.
Many important 'questions are to be
discussed here and a strong and inter
esting program is being arranged
which includes addresses, and lectures
by drainage authorities of state and
national reputation. Several demon
strations and educational exhibits will
be arranged as spceial features. A
large attendance is indicated from all
reports and all who are interested in
drainage are welcome to attend.
Klamath Project is High.
Klamath Falls The second highest
returns in dollars and cents on any ir
rigation project under the United
States Reclamation service have been
won by the Klamath project, according
to the report of Franklin K. Lane,
secretary of the Interior, just made
public here.
The Klamath project, with a cbbIi
value crop return of $1200 a farm, is
the second highest of the 23 govern
ment projects. It is execeded only by
the $12,220 for farm returns on the
great Salt Lake river project in Ari'
ia. Following are some statistics
on the Klamath project, taken from
the report of the secretary : Number
of farms, 315; irrigable acreage, 105;
total acres irrigated, 27,254; irrigated
per farm, 87; cropped total, 27,254;
cropped per farm, 87; total, crop val
ue, $377,488; value per farm, $1200.
District Union Proposed.
Salem Percy Cupper, assistant
state engineer, has sent letters to the
secretaries of the 17 irrigation dis
tricts of the state suggesting that the
districts form an association in con
nection with the Oregon Irrigation
congress to promote the interests of
irrigation generally and of the dis
tricts in particular. He declares that
the future irrigation development of
Oregon will be under the district plan.
He believes that such an association
would not only result in the benefit of
irrigation in the state generally, but
would encourage beneficial legislation.
Railway Asks Rate Cut.
Salem Application was made to the
Oregon Public Service commission by
the Southern Pacific company Wednes
day for a rate of 20 cents per 100
pounds on canned goods in carloads be
tween Ashland and Portland and inter
mediate points. The present rate is
30 cents. The application set forth that
canneries in the Rogue River valley
have several carloads of canned goods
on hand which they wish to move, and
ask that the commission give speedy
hearing, as they are holding such goods
pending a readjustment of the rate.
Handcar Hits Cow; Four Hurt.
The Dalles Four Greek section
hands were injured, one seriously,
when a power-driven handcar struck
a cow on the track near Arlington
Tuesday. The injured men were
brought to The Dalles and the fore
man, who was seriously hurt, was
taken to The Dalles hospital. The
other three were taken to Portland.
The accident occurred when the men
were returning from work. The car
was traveling at a good speed and hit
the cow, which was lying on the track.
Judge Stanton to Stay.
Hood River Rumors that have cir
culated throughout the valley to the
effect that County Judge E. E. Stan
ton was planning to leave Hood River
and that he would resign his office
have been denied by Judge Stanton.
Judge Stanton declares that he has
never contemplated any such action.
The reports of Judge Stanton's con
templated resignation had gained such
credence in the county that aspirants
for appointment to succeed the county
official were seeking indorsement.
6274 Children in Baker.
Baker That Baker county has 6274
children of school age was the result
of reports received by County School
Supreintendent J. F. Smith, according
to his announcement Wednesday. Of
these 3260 are boys and 3014 girls.
In the city of Baker there are 2437
children of school age of which 1197
are boys and 1240 girls. Social esti
mate say that these figures prove
that Baker county has nearly 25,000
population and that there are nearly
9000 in the city of Baker.

they have obtained by using" ANUHW,"
the newest discovery of Dr. Pierce, who

Those who started the day with a back
ache, stiff legs, arms and muscles, and
an aching head ( worn out before the
day began because they were in and out
of bed half a dozen times at night ) are
appreciating the perfect rest, comfort
and new strength they obtained from
Dr. Tierce's Anuria Tablets. To prove
that this is a certain uric acid solvent
and conquers headache, kidney and

tiiis out and send ten cents to Doctor
Pierce for a large sample package. This
will prove to you that "Anurio" is
thirty -seven times mora active than
lilhia in eliminating uric acid and the
most perfect kidney and bladder cor
rector. If you are a sufferer, go to your
best drnggist and ask lor a 50-cent box
of "Anuric." You run no risk for Dr.
Pierce's good name stands behind this
