TRY: HOSTETTER'S Stomach Bitters When a safe tonic, appetizer and stomach remedy is needed o 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. "Hello" Girls Get Wage Raise. Spokane, Wash. Telephone em ployes will carve up a $28,000 melon here Christmas Day. Every "hello" girl, every "trouble" man and every plant, office and other employe of the Home Telegraph & Telephone company will receive a substantial Christmas award this year in the form of a bo nus. Under orders from New York, Spokane officials will grant every em ploye whose salary is less than $3000 a year and who has been employed more than 12 months the equivalent of three weeks salary. 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.

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.
