CASH FOR NEW WORK.
me president s uncalled-for re
marks upon the rivers and harbors
appropriations, in which he referred
to money given tor harbor develop
ment as "pork," has brought forth
a storm of protest even from within
bis own party. It la shown the de
velopment of the waterways and of
the harbors must keep pace with the
industrial growth of the country. In
fact, a short-sighted policy on the
part of the federal authorities will
retard industrial development. Mem
bers of congress resent the presi
dent's attitude, and there will be a
demand for new appropriations to
cover needed work. The estimates
being made Include appropriations
for new work. The campaign of the
people Interested In the development
of Crescent City harbor is being con
tinned with renewed activity, and
there is every reason to expect that
the ontcome at the present session of
congress will be a successful one,
England has accorded the views of
the German chancellor npon peace
the expected reception. It has brought
from the Britishers a reiteration that
the war must be fought on "till Eng
land wins." But that the officials of
the warring nations are talking peace
at all shows that there Is hope that
the war may be drawing toward its
end. Somebody's going to get licked
before the dove finds a roosting place,
however. Peace talk only indicates
that the licking may be near.
The Medfordites who are now
showing the yellow streak in the beet
acreage campaign should have some
compassion upon the people they
have inveigled into purchasing their
lands at extortionate prices and aid
In providing them with a market for
something they can grow upon the
lands. A sugar factory anywhere in
the valley will make that market.
It Is the market for our products we
are after.
The Commercial club has received
an inquiry asking for the addresses
of persons who have Oregon grape
root for sale. The inquirer states
that he wishes tons of the herb, and
it is evident that a new industry
might be built up in the gathering of
these roots for the market upon a
large scale.
Our friends over at Medford do
not believe in being selfish. Oh,' no!
All they ask is that they be given
everything, then there can be no
room for dispute, They disclaim a
dog-in-the-manger attitude, but
GrantH Pass must not have the bone
even if the bone is lost to the valley.

CAPTAIN
LINER
T
OF
MINNESOTA
IN SHIP'S COMMAND
San Diego, Dec. 10. The disabled
liner Minnesota has passed this port,
evidently making for San Pedro.
Assistant Harbor. Master Mugler
made this report to the United Press
today, after he made a fruitless trip
to sea for the purpose of extending
the courtesy of the port to Captain
Garllck.
The Minnesota, now known as the
"mystery ship," should reach San
Pedro about 11 a. m. She is making
a little 'better time man yesterday,
indicating that some of her boilers
are working again. Had she been
making for r San Francisco, harbor
authorities say, she would have prob
ably been further out to sea.
Radio men here say Captain Gar-
lick was doing his utmost to prevent
his destination from becoming!
known. He failed to communicate
with the wireless stations here today,
and it was not known until Mugler's
return that the Minnesota had passed
on her way north.
Federal officials at all ports are
on the lookout for the. Minnesota. A
federal probe of conditions aboard is
freely predicted, although officials
would not discuss the matter.
Despite reports to the contrary, it
is believed that the Minnesota's
troubles are not mechanical ones. If
they were mechanical, the secrecy
which has been maintained by the
captain would scarcely have been ne
cessary, waterfront men say. News
paper men who attempted to com
municate with Captain Garlick late
yesterday, returned here today. They
were unsuccessful. Falling to got
the captain on deck, they shouted to
members of the crew: "Is there a
man named Martin among the crew?"
"Yes," was the reply.
"Where Is he?"
Three sailors clasped their hands
In front of them as If they were
manacled and pointed toward the bow
as if it contained a man in Irons.
SOCIALISTS IN
REICHSTAG ARE
WITH THE KAISER
Berlin, Dec. 10. Socialists of the
retchstag are with the government In
its peace attitude. In caucus they
decided today that the chancellor's
announcement of terms yesterdny
was satisfactory. With only a few
radicals, including Herr Liebknecht,
dissenting, they voted, therefore, that
there is no reason for hostility to
ward the government, "whose ene
mies are continually stating that Ger
many favors annexation of conquer
ed territory."
From the press todaycame unani
mous approval of Hollweg's stand.
The Lokal Anzelger commented,
typically: "The chancellor expressed
clparly that Germany's desires rare
peaceable now, Just as they were be
fore the war started. He notified the
world that we are willing for peace
the sooner the better, if It brings
what we absolutely want."
The public Is almost as much in
terested in President Wilson's recent
attack on hyphenated Americans as
In Hollweg's declaration. The gen
eral view is that he meant Austrlans
and Germans. .And an admiralty of
ficial told me that ho could not help
believing that Washington Is un
friendly toward German:-.
Attorney Dunne, for the Southern
Pacific, threatens that the O. & C.
land grant question "will be carried
to the supreme court." It has al
ready ibeen there, so there is no fear
that Mr. Dunne's bluff will get very
far on the way again.
Haste in the beet acreage .campaign
is necessary, as the land owners must
know at once whether they are go
ing to plant beets or something else.

A sharp order from an officer stand
ing near cut short further conversa
tion. At that time none of the Minne
sota's 'boilers was working.
' The opinion here today Is that the
Minnesota's boilers were put out of
commission by acid. The Minnesota
carried a cargo of 16,000 tons of
foodstuffs for Great Britain.
The captain of the Minnesota Is
not in command of the vessel, those
who attempted to board her late yes- j
terday related here today. The first
mate is in command, they say..
Officers of the Minnesota threaten
ed to shoot the first man who at
tempted to board her.
