C Congress settled down Saturday to await developments in the submarine controversy between the United States and Germany with an overwhelming majority of both houses apparently definietly deter mined to take no action which might embarrass the administration in the present stage of diplomatic negotia tions a few of the more ardent advo cates of legislation to keep Amreicans off armed ships continued their activ ities, and ex-Secretary Bryan's sup port for them was shown in the form of a telegram, but even most of them admitted there was no propect of im mediate action. So far as the adminsitration is concerned, it was said authoritatively that while any agitation of the issue just now was undesirable, there was no disposition to oppose a vote on the pending armed-ship resolutions if their sponsors tried to force one. It was declared that reports from the capital during the day snowed con clusively that the senate and the house would stand behind President Wilson in his refusal to permit any abridge ment of the rights of American citi zens on the seas, as outlined in his let ter to Senator Stone. The President reiterated his state ments In that letter to Speaker Clark, Majority Leader Kitchin and Repre sentative Flood, chairman of the house foreign affairs committee, early in the day when they called at the White House to tell of the situation on their side of the capitol and hear the execu tive's views. . There was plain speaking both by President Wilson and his callers. Mr. Wilson Baid plainly that his efforts to keep the country at peace were likely to be hindered by impressions sent abroad by congress, and the congress men were equally frank in giving notice that a strong sentiment existed at the capitol against risking the pos sibility of war by permitting Ameri cans to travel on armed belligerent ships, whatever might be their rights under international law. Although wholly different reports came from other sources during the day, Speaker Clark declared he be lieved a resolution to warn citizens off armed vessers"would carry in the house by two to one if it reached a vote. The house delegation went back to the capitol with word that the Presi dent stood unalterably by his position. There the situation rests, and while there probably will be many more con ferences and possibly some speeches, J the generally accepted opinion is that no further serious effort to bring about action will be made, unless develop ments occur to make a rupture of re lations with Germany imminent Pekin Admits Rebels Defeated Government Troops at Sze-Chuen Pekin Official acknowledgement of the defeat of government troops by the Yunnan rebels on the Sze-Chuen border was withheld until Saturday, when the State department issued a mandate denouncing Tai Ao, in which admisssion is made that the revolu tionists surprised the regular army and defeated a small garrison. Information received in Pekin from non-Chinese sources shows that the Yunnanese, who descended on the city of Suifu and captured it, numbered about 10,000. The government gar rison at Suifu numbered about 4000, but these troops left for the north sev eral days before the arrival of the Yunnanese and consequently there was no resistance to the entrance of the latter. The fleeing government forces are reported to have started north for Tze-Chow. i ar vucrTM sr 1916 Catalog SEEDS Plant. Bulbt, Garden, Orchard and Poultry Supplies. Fertilizers, Etc.

She listed immediately to port. High seas were ruunning and the captain, realizing that great damage had been done to the after part of his vessel, tried to run her aground, but the engine room was swamped and the ship became unmanageable. The plight of the vessel was ob served and dozens of craft went at full speed to her rescue. It was one of these, the Epmress of Fort William, of 2181 tons, that sank. Boat after boat and seven rafts were sent away, but several persons leaped into the water and were picked up by surrounding craft It was at first thought that all had been saved, but later bodies were washed ashore and their number" was gradually added to during the day. Owing to the fact that Dover is un der strict military law, it was possi ble to obtain only meager details from those rescued. The captian said that both passengers and crew behaved splendidly.

Wool Growers Find Good Market by Shipping to Portland Portland With wool contracting for the 1916 clip just starting in the East ern counties, the last remnant of the 1915 clip is being sold here. The Portland Wool Warehouse company has not over 40,000 pounds in its ware house on Municipal Dock No. 1, and that is all the wool that is left in Port land. The bulk of these wools were sold at from 21 cents to 22) cento for fine and 26 to 30 cents for coarse wool, according to condition and shrinkage, "The prices realized, " said W. L. Crowe, manager of the company, "are from 3 cents to 5 cents better than were offered in the country for the same wools. The growers are more than satisfied with their experiment of sending their wools here to be mar keted, and it is safe to say a much larger quantity will be sent here dur ing the coming season. "We have sold wool to about 17 dif ferent customers, a dozen of whom never operated in this section before, We have had inquiries from a dozen other big Eastern mills, and although we did not close deals with them we are looking forward to their trade in new wools. "Our object is to improve the condi tion of the woolgrowers and put tnem an on an equal basis. By avail ing himself of cheap money, which he could never do before, the grower is enabled to hold his wool until he ib ready to sell. All the wool consigned here is sold only with the approval of the growers. It is different when the wool Is consigned to the East tor it then gets beyond the owner's control. Potato Shipments 600 Cars. Portland Up to the present time about 600 cars of potatoes have been shipped from Oregon, and the indica tions are the total shipments for the season will not exceed 1000 cars. Nor mal shipments from the state are about 1600 cars a year. "There are between 400 and 500 cars of potatoes left unsold," said Mc- Ktnley Mitchell, "and these will all clean up at some price. There is no likelihood the market will be any bet ter in the immediate future, but there is a possibility the late market will improve if California cleans up." Market Roads Discussed. Milwaukie, Or. Market roads were discussed at the meeting of Milwaukie Grange Saturday afternoon, the main address being delivered by C. B. Han son, master. Mr. Hanson suggested that main market roads can be built by district assessments to be paid for partly by the abutting property, and the balance by a district extending from one to two miles from each side of the road. Mr. Hanson urged the enactment of a law by which fanners may form road districts and take con trol of the district road construction. . Reclamation Interest Up. Klamath Falls, Or. Project Mana ger J.

It is supposed to be something that most people value highly, yet few there are who are will ing to preserve 1U For example, ev eryone talks about methods of attain ing long life, yet no one cares to practice them. The commonest rules of health are constantly violated by the great majority. Doctors know this and rarely, if ever, advise their pa tienta how to live, but give them med icine to tide them over some tempor ary setback. Life has been called an illusion, a dream, a bubble, a curtain raiser and a forgetting. In reality, it Is merely something that no man wants to part from too suddenly, but which he will always sell on . the installment plan to the highest bidder. The soldier gambles with the state for the price of his life, the immigrant with the miner, the rich man with luxury. At best, life is only what we learn to avoid. The Middle Age. There comes a clear day when one realizes that clothes are to keep the weather off you, that food Is to give you health, that home Is shelter and Inspiration; that, aside from being clean and inoffensive, one's personal appearance does not signify very much; that the main thing in life is to be going along toward the goal of your Ideals.
