NO COLD STORAGE
AFTER JANUARY!
' Portland, Dec. 20. There waa
walling and gnashing of teeth In Port
land today following the announce

that it is illegal to stow away "beer
In cold storage plants for use after
January 1, when the state-wide pro
hibition law becomes effective.
Evans' opinion was rendered in re
sponse "to pleas from scores of per:
sons .who presumably wished to pro
ride for a dry future. Evans pointed
out,, further, that a storage plant
can not legally deliver mora than 24
quarts of, beer in four weeks to any

THIRSTY
LEADER OF BULL
E
FROM COli
(By United Press Leased Wirt.)
Chicago, Dec 20. "As far as I
know, Colonel Roosevelt Is not a
candidate for president' said Medlll
McCormlck, progressive leader, ar
riving here today from tbe east,
where he had conferred with the bull
moose leader. At the same time, be
denied that the Florentine room at
the Congress hotel bad been reserved
by him as a rally place for the col
onel and his cohorts, lie reserved,
however, 20 rooms for Colonel Fred
erick, Hale, Maine's republican com
mitteeman.
"In three states Roosevelt has re
fused to allow his name to be present
ed to the primaries," said McCor
mlck. "I do not think it possible that
anybody will stampede the O. O. P.
convention." .
Congressman Johnson of Washing
ton commented: '
"Most Roosevelt followers were so
opposod to big business in 1912 that
they were willing to see the demo
crats go into office and destroy not
only big but little business as well.
None can say how the bull moosers
will view the sight of Roosevelt at
a conference with steel barons (the
Gary dinner)." ,
Chicago, Dec. 20. Belief, that
Colonel Roosevelt will participate In
the forthcoming presidential cam
paign gained ground today when it
was admitted that bis friends had
taken an option on tha Florentine
room of the Congress hotel for the
period of the republican national
convention here next June.
It was believed here that rallies
will be held previously. Tho option
expires tomorrow. Meantime Medlll
McCormlck Is speeding westward af
ter a conference with Roosevelt
According to a politician who has
seen Roosevelt within a month, his
position Is: ,
He is not a candidate hlniBclf un
der any circumstances.
If the republicans nominate a man
connected with the "theft fn Chi
cago" which resulted In the forma
tion of the bull moose faction, the
colonel will fight that candidate and
the party.
He will support a man of the
"Cummins type" if nominated by the
republicans.
He will strongly oppose President
Wilson under all circumstances. .
; "I do not think that Burton, Root
jor Weeks will satisfy him," said the
.politician. "Possibly Borah would,
though. I do not xpect Roosevelt
to make a publlo statement for sever
al m on the." I

Voices of the Ssa.

sea description: v
"Tbe sea is not a lovable monster.
And monster it is. It is beautiful, tbe
sea, always beautiful in one way or
another, but it Is cruel and unmindful
of tbe life tbat is In It and upon it It
was cruel Inst evening in tbe lurid
low sunset that made it glow, dally,
to tbe cold. ioockIu, ragged moonrlse
that made it look like death. Tbe
waves positively beckoned wben they
rose and pitched toward our boat la
boring In the trough. And all tbe long
night It seemed to me tbat 1 beard
voices through tbe planking, talking,
talking, endlessly., monotonously, quer
ulously, and I couldn't make out
whether It was tbe oc-eun calling from
tbe outside or tbe ship herself mutter
ing gropingly, finding herself. If tbe
voices are of tbe chip they will soon
cease, for sbe must find herself. But
If tbey are the voices of tbe sea they
must be sad siren tbat cry. restless,

pears like one of tbe old Japanese gold
coins called tbe koban. It is supposed
to look like a lion, wben cue gazes
straight into its face. Tbe Japan Mag
azine tells us of these fish and says
that tbe Japanese are fond of giving
fancy names to their favorites, such as
"dancing butterfly" and "'double cher
ry blossom.' Sometimes the fish take
their names' from appearance and
sometimes from habits.
Austria's Historic Crown.
The crown donned by the monarch
of Austria, which was made originally
for Stephen of Hungary some eight
centuries ago. has been stolen, lost or
pawned. . .
One one occasion It was pilfered by
a queen wbo fled across the froxen
Danube with it. and there, being in
need of ready rash, she pawned it for
2.80O ducats. When it was finally
traced and recovered it was placed in
a fortress in Hungary and guarded
night and day. ,
At tbe time of tbe revolution it was
burled In a forest to prevent its being
annexed by the Austrlans, and it re
mained under the soil for nearly a hun
dred years. Tbe crown is adorned
with fifty-three, fine sapphires, fifty
good sited rubles, one emerald and 338
pearls. The gems are sunken in a mass
of pure gold, und the crown weighs al
together about fourteen pounds. Ex

Coronets, miters, military display,

a fair share of comfort, contentment
and happiness among tbe great body
of tbe people. Palaces, baronial cas
tles, great balls, stately mansions, do
not make a nation. ' Tbe nation in ev

can shine there, unless the beauty of

your statesmanship are impressed there
