Chicago The greatest parade ever held in Chicago ended Saturday night after 130,214 persons, one-sixth of whom were women, had filed through the Btreets in the preparedness demon stration. The parade was 11J hours in passing. More than l,000,uuu per sons are estimated to have witnessed it. The night division was made up largely of militia organizations, which included all branches of the army and navy Bervice. The Darade began at it o clock in tne morning and did not conclude until nearly midnight. All day long and far into tne nignt the marchers, massed from curb to curb, rolled like a tide through the streets. It was as if the great sky scrapers were the banks of a river and the marching thousands, each person with an American nag, the water mov ing between them. Maior General T. H. Barry, com mander of the Central department, U. S. A., who sat in the reviewing stand, declared it to be the greatest and most inspiring spectacle he had ever witnessed. The demonstration impressed by its bulk, and by the absence, to a large extent, of the hilarity accompanying most parades. There were no floats, no comic costumes and little of the holiday spirit apparent. The airs played by the bands either were pat riotic or military. Portland Has 15,000 in Line. Portland Prepare! This was the unquestioned sentiment of what is variously estimated at between 16,000 and 20,000 citizens who marched through Portland's streets Saturday night, their shoulders squared, their heads up, alert and ready, facing the duties of today with confidence and courage. It was one of the biggest parades ever held in Portland. It required one hour and five minutes to pass a given point. On this basis it is estimated that the number in line was approximately 15,000. This was the figure of Judge C. U. Gantenbein, chairman of the committee on arrangements, who saw the entire lines pass in review. Other unofficial estimates placed the number at as high as 20,000. The marching column called atten tion to a world on fire, and drew all eyes to the lamentable fact that Amer ica is living in a house immeasurably far from being fire-proof. The flags that fluttered everywhere waved the messaged to prepare, to guard the country from every possible ill, and they roused in the watching thousands the spirit of the occasion.

When the battle ended Great Britain had lost the battle cruisers Queen Mary, Indefatigable and Invincible, the cruisers Defence, Black Prince and Warrior and eight torpedo boat de stroyers. The German battleship Fommern was sent to the bottom by a torpedo and the cruiser Wiesbaden sunk by the British gunfire. In addition several German torpedo craft are missing and the small cruiser Frauenlob was seen badly listing and was believed, to have gone to the bottom. These losses have all been admitted by Great Britain and Germany. ABide from Great Britain s conceded losses, Germany says that the British battleship Warsprite, sister ship of the Queen Elizabeth, and one of the largest and most powerful ships afloat, had been sunk; that the battleship Marlborongh, a vessel of 25,000 tons, had been hit by a torpedo, and a sub marine had been destroyed. Great Britain also added to Ger many's acknowledged losses with the claim that one dreadnaught of the Ger mna Kaiser class vessels of 24,700 tons and carrying a complement of 1088 men had been attacked and de stroyed by British torpedo craft; that another battleship of the same class was believed to have been sunk by gunfire; that one battle cruiser had been blown up and two others damaged and that six destroyers and a subma rine also had been sent to the bottom. Great Britain's admitted loss in ton nage was 114,810 for six battle cruis erB and cruisers. That of Germany, excluding the tonnage of the Wiesba den, of which vessel there is no rec ord, was 15,172. That the casualties in the fighting off Jutland were heavy is indicated by the fact that of the crew of some 900 on board the Indefatigable only two men are known to have been saved. . Six Zeppelins participated in the naval engagement, according to a dis patch from Copenhagen to the Daily Mail. One of the dirigibles, the L-24, was hit several times and badly dam aged, the report says, but she was able to reach the Schleswig coast. Several of her men were wounded, and all of her supplies had to be thrown over board. The scene of the battle was in the Eastern waters of the North Sea. It is probable that the German fleet was on one of the excursions into the North Sea, which it has taken from time to time during the war, and met, whether or not by design, with the British fleet. Skager-Rak is an arm of the North Sea between Norway and Denmark. The point referred to in the official German statement as Horn Riff prob ably is the reef off the Horn, on the southwestern extremity of Denmark This would indicate that the battle was fought off the coast of Denmark. From the reef to Helgoland, the main German naval base in the North Sea, is about 100 miles. A dispatch from Copenhagen de clares it is generally Btated in Berlin that the activity ot the German fleet was due to the energetic demands of Emperor William to his brother, Ad miral Prince Henry of Prussia, commander-in-chief of the navy, and Ad miral von Capelle, minister of the navy, on the emperor'jj visit last week to Wilhelmshaven. Torpedo Boats First In Fight. Copenhagen A Danish steamer re ports that Wednesday afternoon, 120 miles off Hanstholm, it was stopped by two British torpedo-boats to have its papers examined. At the same mo ment a large German fleet appeared, and the British warships immediately prepared for action. The German fleet consisted of five large modern dread- naughts, eight cruisers and 20 torpedo boats and destroyers. Suddenly they began firing, and hundreds of shells splashed around the torpedo boats, without, however, hitting them. Dutch Rescue Survivors. ' London A Dutch trawler has ar rived at the Hook of Holland with one dead and seven live Germans, who were saved from the naval battle, says a dispatch from The Hague. Another trawler has taken into Ymuiden three German officers and 12 sailors, and one British sailor, Who was wounded. A dispatch from Rotterdam to the Reuter Telegram company reported the tug boat Scheldeentering in the new water way with dead and wounded from the naval battle. A steam trawler also reported with 15 rescued Germans. Battle Aid to Peace. , Washington, D. C Reports of the naval engagement in the North Sea aroused the greatest interest here, not only in naval circles, but at the vari ous belligerent embassies and among administration officials. It was freely predicted that if the German fleet demonstrated a real superiority, ship for ship, the effects on the prospects for peace would be considerable.

Idaho Crops Have Suffered. The monthly bulletin of the Caldwell Commercial Bank, just issued, says: Crops have suffered quite severely since our last letter,' due to cold weather. On May 9, 10 and 11 a cold wave extending over this entire sec tion of Idaho, and with a low temper ature of 20 degrees above zero re ported, killed practically all , of the fruit and damaged the grain and hay crop to some extent, nipped the less hardy garden truck, damaged the roses and will mean quite a heavy financial loss to the country. The strawberry crop seems to have survived the best of any of the fruits. Since May 18 the rainfall has been considerable and of much benefit. The temperature for the month has been below average. The usual anticipated rise in the price of wheat at this season has failed this year. In fact an uncertain mar ket with a downward tendency has ruled recently. The Caldwell Milling Elevator compan report paying $1.36 per cwt. for wheat, $1.15 for oats and $1.25 for barley. Heavy shipments of hay were made during the past month and practically all of the 1915 crop is cleaned up. The first crop of alfalfa will not be up to average, due to the cold weather, and will be somewhat late. Cantaloupes on Market. Spokane In spite of the wet and chilly weather the stores have man aged to make a brave show of spring fruit and vegetables, although the local products have been retarded. The two novelties to be found are canta loupes at 15 to 25 cents each and apri cots at 25 cents a pound or 75 cents a box. Cherries from California are fairly plentiful at 25 cents a pound alike for the light and dark varieties. The supply of asparagus has been lessened by climatic conditions ana tne local crop has scarcely been touched. Warmer weather will bring it in more abundantly. Copper Mine Reopened. Baker, Or. Once abandoned as an unprofitable venture, the old Paymas ter mine, a copper property in the Eagle Mountains, is being reopened, since the traces of the rare ore, molyb- damite, with a market value of $3000 a ton. have been found. W. A. dil- Ham, Isaac and Griswold Miller and Bradley Bros., owners of the property, also believe that a considerable income may be netted from the main copper ore bodies. Assays just made of some of the ore samples give 64.8 per cent values, meaning, at the present quota tions, from $300 to $400 a ton. Strawberries Are More Plentiful. Portland Receipts of Oregon straw berries were larger the first of the week and prices were lower than last week, with sales at 12. tu. &.en- nataiMra enlrl nr. f 3 9fi ' California, lo ganberries were offered at $1.251.50 a tray ana were siow saie. inamorata currants were quoted at $1.25 a crate. A half car of cantaloupes arrived and sold fairly well at $4.50 and $5. The last car of Florida tomatoes of the season was received. They sold at $5 a crate. New green corn from the South was put on sale at $1 a dozen. Moisture Lowers Price. " Chicago Breaking of the drouth in Kansas and Oklahoma resulted in lower prices for wheat Fresh rainfalls that gave moisture where much needed in the Southwest left the wheat bulls without any immediate argument to uphold beliefs in higher values. As a consequence, commission houses were liberally supplied with orders to sell out holdings and it was apparent that speculative bears had no intention to delay putting out good-sized lines be fore prices show too much decline.

People are realizing more and more every day that the kidneys, just as do the bowels, need to be flushed occa sionally. The kidneys are an elimina tive organ and are constantly working, separating the poisons from the blood. Dnder this continual ant perpetual action they are apt to congest, and then trouble starts. Uric acid backs up into the system, causing rheuma tism, neuralgia, dropsy and many other serious disturbances. Doctor Pierce of Buffalo, New York, advocates that every one should drink plenty ot pure water between meals. Every day should exercise in the outdoor air suf ficiently to sweat profusely, and from time to time stimulate the kidney ac tion by means of "Anuric." This prep aration has been thoroughly tried out at his Sanitarium, in the same way as his "Favorite Prescription" for weak women and "Golden Medical Discov ery," the standard herbal system ton ic (both ot which now come in tablet form for convenience of carrying and taking). "Anuric" is now being intro duced here, and many local people are daily testifying to its pertectness. When you have backache, dixiy spells or rheumatism, heed nature'! warning.
