been an exceptional season. There

WAR AND COPPER.
Those who have made a study of
the world's supply of minerals are
confident that copper will continue to

performed at Mrs. Gait's residence.
No invitations will be issued and it
is expected the only guests will be

Limitation of the number ot guests
to 50 was due to the fact that the
Gait home will not accommodate
more than that number.
The honeymoon may be spent at

passed a vacation during the holiday
season of 1913 and where he met

ENGLAND AGREES TO
ABROGATE TRADE TREATY
(By United Press Leased Wire.)
Washington, Nov. 1. Great Britain
has consented to the abrogation ot
the trade treaty with the United
States which would have prevented
operation of the LaFollette seamen's
act as far as the Britishers were con
cerned.
A new treaty will be negotiated
unless the seamen's law is repealed
in the coming session ot congress.
The state department recently ad
vised countries affected by the mea
sure that it would go into effect No
vember 5.
Great Britain is the only nation
which has assented to abrogation ot
the treaty and to negotiations for a
new one. Provisions of the law af
fecting foreign shipping are not ef
fective until later, hence the depart
ment Is moving slowly in the mstter
of abrogating treaties.
PLAN GREAT RECEPTION
FOR VICTORIOUS AGGIES
Portland, Nov. 1. One of the
greatest receptions a northwestern
football team ever received la being
planned today for the Oregon Aggies
when they arrive here Wednesday
from East Lansing, where they so de
cisively defeated the Michigan Agrl
cultural college Saturday. The boys
will be met at the station, escorted
like conquering heroes to their hotel
and later dined and felicitated at a
chamber of commerce luncheon.
The victory of the Aggies has the
alibi club working overtime. Prac
tically every one predicted that they
would be soundly drubbed. Now all
are loudly explaining how they came
to do lt.
0,E VICTORY OVER
MICHIGAN PROVES
METTLE OF WEST
(Dy United Prm Leased Wire.)
Seattle, Nov. 1. "It means that
we have been boating tonms that are
at good ns Harvard and Yale and
getting no credit tor It," was the
comment today of Conch Gllmour
Doble of the I'nlvornlty of Washing
ton football tom, who has won seven
consecutive conference champion
sblis, with regard to the astonishing
20 to 0 victory of the Oregon Aggies
over the famous Michigan AgKles
Saturday.
"That victory should establish be
yond a doubt the fact that the brand
of football in the northwest Is Just
as good as that of the middle west
or tho east.
"The Oregon Aggies already have
'been defeated 29 to 0 by Washington
State, and yet were able to complete
ly outclass a team that is without
doubt equal to any in the middle
west. Do you know how It was pos
sible? Because they have been de
feated so badly before they went east.
"Syracuse comes out here early in
December, and it would not surprise
me to see them defeated also."
It Is doubtful If Washington State
will be substituted on the schedule of
the U. of W. for the Colorado univer
sity Thanksgiving day game, as a
contract has been signed with Color
ado. Sentiment in Seattle favors
strongly the cancellation of the Col
orado contest In view of the two de
cisive defeats suffered by the Rocky
Mountain team. .The University of
Washington team, while a little slow,
has as much power as any team Doble
has developed here, and crltloa who
have watched both teams In action
recently predict an easy victory for
the U. of W. over California. The
Caltfornlans simply do not know
enough about football and Dutbie's
men are veterans.
Announcement that the Michigan
Aggies will meet O. A. C. on the coast
next October wss well received here.
"There Is absolutely no chance of
Washington State being substituted
for the Colorado university game
here Thanksgiving day," said Doblo
today. "We have been beating Wash
ington State for seven years. Let
them go and get a reputation. Col
orado may have slipped up once or
twice, but they will bring a high
class team here, and we will have all
the trouble In the world beating
them. Colorado has a big, fast
team."
j This statement knocks in tho head

j tract for a Turkey day game here be
.twecn Washington and Colorado and
substitute Washington State.

Douglas, Arli., Nov. 1. Prelimin
ary skirmishing for the battle be
tween Vllllstas and Cerrnnalstas for
possession of Agua Prleta commenced
shortly after dawn today. United
8tatea troops along the border un
llmbered three batteries of machine
guns and went Into their entrench

boundary.
General Villa's threat that ho
would fight the entire United States
army If necessary to obtain posses
sion of Agua Prleta caused the grav
est anxiety here. It Is believed the
Vllllstas might actually invade
United States soil In their desperate
efforts to take the city. Several hun

placed In a concentration ramp In
the outskirts of Douglas. Most of
the refugees were women and babies.
