was held back by the police lines

Everything was in readiness for the
ceremony when the President arrived
and it proceeded without music,

of the Episcopal marriage service, the
President making his responses first,
and then the bride making hers. Af
ter the bride promised to "love, cher
ish and obey," the President placed
the wedding ring, a plain band of gold,
on her finger and then, after a prayer
and while the couple clasped their
right hands together, Dr. Smith de

brief and simple ceremony was over.

dining room, where a buffet supper
was served.

Baron Erich Zwiedinek, charge of the

Canned Milk to Advance.
Portland The statement was made
recently by a man closely associated
with the canned milk business that he
would not be surprised if there waa an
advance of 60 cents a case in price in
the near future. He based his opinion
on the fact that the demand at the mo
ment is exceeding the supply, and
manufacturers are facing a hard game.
It is said that 130,000 cases of
canned milk have been shipped recent
ly to France and that one Eastern
manufacturer who puts out a brand of
milk under his own name i in the
market for 60,000 eases. It is pre
sumed this is wanted to fill an export
order. Up to the present time it is
believed no fewer than 250,000 cases
have gone abroad.
All jobbers are now asking $3.10 lor
Marigold milk. The advance of 15
cents was made some time ago, but
was pot adhered to by the entire trade,
for various reasons.
Country Creameries Unite.
Eugene, Ore. That the Eugene
Farmers' creamery will unite with
other co-operative creameries of the
state to protect themselves and assist
in marketing products of the plants
was the sense of a meeting of the
shareholders of the local plant. The
meeting was similar to others held in
different parts of the state where
there are located co-operative cream
eries. It is the outcome of discontent
and charges that the butter market of
Portland has been manipulated in some
manner. . SchrocK, representative
of the state dairy and food commis
sioner's office, and G. F.' Frevert, of
the United State, department of agri
culture, were present 'at the meeting.
It is the plan to hold a big meeting of
the representatives of all the ' co-osr-ative
creamery association ' tn the
state in the near future. -
Bearish Wheat Reported.
Chicago Heavy profit-taking by
longs who asserted that the govern
ment crop report was likely to prove
bearish, wiped out the greater part of
a lively advance scored Thursday in
the wheat market here. The close was
heavy at a net gain of c to 11c with
Decebmer at 1.16i and May at 11.17
1.17. The setback that ensued
from the top level of the session waa
most apparent in the May option, De
cember contract remaining compara
tively firm owing to fears that a strike
in progress on the Chicago Beit railway
might interfere with current deliveries.
Wheat Goes to New York.
Pendleton For the first time in the
history of wheat raising in this county
shipments are now being made directly
from local warehouse to the New
York Markets.
H. W. Collin expect to ship out
3000 tons this week from his ware
house to New York. There is not
much left of the present local supply
of wheat which will be acceptable in
New York for the reason that the At
lantic port calls for Al quality. There
are no facilities for cleaning wheat on
the Atlantic seaboard aa here.
Sal of Cider Never So Large.
Tacoma-rMore cider ha been sold
this season than ever before, as far aa
Tacoma is concerned, say merchants.
Retail dealers are laying in big sup
plies for Christmaa and New Yean
and are anxious to know If there ia
any chance of a scarcity should their
supplies not be large enough. Com
mission men' inform them that there
will be plenty on hand. The varieties
offered are Jones Brothers and Schulti
Oregon ciders, laid to be equal to any
made. Fresh ranch egg are now
wholesaling at 4042 cant a dozen.
TURKS IGNORANT Of WITHDRAWAL
OF BRITISH FORCE FROM GALIIPOLI
London Operations in other sectors
of the front on the Gallipoli Peninsula
than those from which troops were an
nounced Tuesday to have been with
drawn, are to be continued, it is inti
mated in an official statement issued
here. The withdrawal was effected
without the knowledge of the move
ment on the part of the Turks, it is
declared. : "
The British troops at the Suvla and
Anzac districts of the Gallipoli Penin
sula were officially reported to have
been withdrawn.
"Further details of the evacuation
of the Anzac and Suvia zones have
been received," says the official state
ment ' "Without the Turk being
aware of the movement a great army
haa been withdrawn from one of the
areas occupied on the Gallipoli Penin
sula, although in the closest contact
with the enemy. By this, contraction
of the front at other points of the line
will be more effectively carried out.
QUEEN OF BULGARIA
. f'-
1 ll.l'f
The queen of Bulgaria, whose ability
a a nurse has been manifested time
and time again since she established
In Sofia one of the finest and best
equipped hospitals, haa again taken
actively to the work which she lovea
so dearly. She I devoting her time
and attention to nursing the sick or
phans In the orphanage of her country.
"Sir Charles Monto gives great
credit for this skilfully conducted
transfer of forces to the generals
commanding and the royal navy."
The withdrawal of the British troop
from Suvia Bay and the Anzac zone
ends more successfully than most mili
tary men thought possible, the most
unfortunate chapter of the British
arms in this war. Thousands of lives
were sacrificed in gaining these posi
tions, and thousands in holding them.
The question has been constantly
discussd why theBe generals command
ing the Dardanelles expedition did not
try to make a landing near the center
of the peninsula in the beginning and
cut off Turkish troops on the lower
end. When the attempt waa finally
made to secure a foothold higher up on
the peninsula, the Turks were fully
prepared to meet it. :. '
fenis Water Bill Will Be . : -li iv
Rushed Through Congress
Washington, D. C That the Ferris
water power bill is to be railroaded
through the house of representatives
is indicated by the fact that the public
lands committee of that body expects
to report it favorably.
The committee discussed the bill at
some length Tuesday and decided to
give no hearings whatsoever, but it
was decided to make several minor
changes which will not alter the gen
eral character of the measure, and if
these can be perfected at once the re
port will then be ordered, and it is
planned to call up the bill in the house
as soon as congress reconvenes next
month.
The bill in its present shape is not
at all satisfactory to Representatives
Slnnott, Oregon; Smith, Idaho, and La
Follette, Washington; but Chairman
Ferris let it be known he haa enough
Democratic vote to report the bill.
Chinese to Rebel.
San Francisco Tong King Chong,
president of the Cbee Sung Tong, or
Chinese Repuublic association, re
ceived a cablegram from Shanghai,
China, which stated that five Chinese
provinces had declared their independ
ence against the rule of Yuan Shi Kai.
The provinces concerned in the revolu
tion were, according to the cablegram,
Kwang Tung, Kiangsi, Yuanan, Kwei-
chau and Szchuen. Mr. Tong, who ha
presided recently at several Chinese
mass meetings, said he believed the
action would be followed by many.
Woman Attache Graves.
Sacramento, Cal. The filing of an

at the direction of Mrs. Elizabeth
Harms, the second wife of Harm, and
it encumber all of the grave in the
plot with the exception of the one oc
cupied by Mrs. Mary Harm, the first
wife. The amount of the alimony al
leged to be due ia $225.
Huge Taxes In Prospect.
Berlin, via London Dr. Karl Helf-
ferich, secretary of the Imperial treas
ury, announced in the Reichstag that
the next budget cannot be balanced
without additional income, . and that
proposals for new taxation are now
being drafted for submission to the
Reichstag. The secretary declared
that no matter how large a war in
demnity waa received, the war would
impose a colossal burden of taxation
on the Germans.
