The tfnrlt industry became more firmly entrenched last season through prof itable marketings, and this year there Is renewed interest and the orchard will receive its Just attention. The mine, always a source of much of the material progress and prosperity of the district, is coming into the limelight as never before, while lum bering Is also feeling the touch of the awakening. The progress of the campaign for beet acreage Is most encouraging, and there will be few tracts in this vicinity that are suited for beet culture that will not add to the tonnage this fall. With the prom ise of the development of Irrigation and the assurance that railroad build ing will start off In earnest, it wonld be well for the man who is looking for the bright particular civic star of the northwest to pin his faith on Grants Pass. for defense against submarines noted earh week, he said.

The first Am erican line steamship to leave this port since the German submarine warning was Issued the Mongolia today Is past Sandy Hook and on her way to Europe. She was followed closely by the American freighter Al gonquin. Both are bound for london and are the first American vessels to sail from here for a British port In three weeks. Officials of the American line were reticent over the sailing of the Mon golia, refusing even after she had been seen to pass out of the harbor to admit her sailing. She is a vessel of 13,639 tons and Is an out-and-out American vessel, having been built in this country and never having flown any flag except the American. No attempt was made to disguise her. She Is painted In regular colors with her name and registry painted on her sides in huge letters. The captain of the Mongolia is Kd ward Rice, an American. All sailings of pasenger vessels have been cancelled by the American line. Shippers have been notified to take freight out of the hold of the St. Louis, where it has been lying since February 3, when her sailing was postponed. The Philadelphia is expected to take her place alongside the St. Louis, Nw York and St. Paul when ho ar rives here tomorrow from Liverpool. Speculation today as to the "roh alhle cause of the cancellation of Am erican line sailings, was along two different lines. One was that it might mean the final decision of the government not to aid In arming ships flying the 'American flag. The other was that the present interna tional crisis had caused the govern ment to notify the ships' owners Oat E London, Feb. 21. England recog nises the gravity of the German sub marine warfare; her losses have been bad, but not equal to the "extrav agant bravado" claimed by Germany, j and have totalled very little more j than that In previous months, before the "ruthlessnees" was given full sway. Sir Edward Carson, making his first speech as first lord of the ad miralty, voiced these beliefs today In the house of commons. He riled figures which showed comparative losses for December, January and to February 18, and asserted there hart been forty different fights with sub marines since February 1. The ad miralty head, however, declined to tats liow many German submer iblet England had captured or sunk. "Our losses In the new submarine warfare have been bad," he admit- Comply with the law and use printed Butter Wrappers According to the ruling of the Oregon Dairy and Food Commission all dairy butter sold or exposed for sale in this Ktate must be wrapped in butter papor upon which V Is printed the words "Oregon Dairy Butter, 10 (or 32) ounces full weight," with the name and address of the maker.
