Portias Orataa Carranzs Representative Thinks Crisis Is Not Yet Over -Anxiety Felt for Many Small Garrisons. El Paso, Tex. Villa is moving northward from Chihuahua City,' ac cording to a dispatch from General Trevino, received Tuesday by General Gonzales, at Juarez, who was ordered to concentrate his forces at Juarez. ' A private message coming over the same route adds that not only is Villa proceeding north, but he is in control of Chihuahua City, which General Tre vino is said to have abandoned, pro ceeding southward. General Trevino, according to the private report, said that, after effecting a junction with General Murguia, he would return and recapture Chihuahua. The message from General Trevino was sent in code from Sauz by way of Ojinaga, opposite the Texas town of Presidio, where it was relayed. It said, according to Carranza officials, that Villa was moving north, and or dered the detached garrison along this section of the frontier and on the Mexican-Northwestern line to concentrate in Juarez. - The message, they added, spoke of this as the fifth day of Villa's attacks. The countenances of the civil and military men in Juarez showed clearly the seriousness of the news. "No, I think not," was the answer given by a Carranza representative of high rank, when asked whether the Villa crisis was yet over. It is understood that there are about 600 men, mostly infantry, in or near Juarez. Telegraphic communication was still open with Sauz, about 26 miles above Chihuahua the military men said. They professed consdierable anxiety about the Carranza garrison there. General Murguia with his large forces had been expected daily, to come to the rescue of the besieged city. Safe Conduct for Austrian Ambas sador tq U. S. Refused by British Washintgon, D. C Another contro versy between the American govern ment and the entente allies is in pros pect as a result of the refusal of the British government to grant safe con duct to Count Tarnowski, the newly appointed Austro-Hungarian ambassa dor to the United States. In the absence of officials advices on the subject officials of the State de partment were not in a position Tues day to discuss it formally or to fore cast the course the government is like ly to pursue. It was made evident, however, that unfavorable action of the British foreign office on the notice of the intention of the new ambassador to cross the Atlantic to his post came as an unpleasant surprise. It had not been doubted here that Great Britain would be the last power to deny the privileged character of a diplomatic officer on such a voyage. Aside from the belief that England would not deBire to arouse adverse feeling In the United States by inter ference with the ancient and generally unquestioned right of a neutral gov ernment to receive an ambassador or minister, officials had counted on Great Britain s record in the Mason and Sh- dell case to prevent such an action as reported in Tuesday's cable dispatches. Big Gold Strike is Reported. Baker, Ore. What may develop in to a million-dollar gold strike is re ported from the Ben Harrison mine. News of the rich strike was partial ly confirmed by W. C.

Washington Indignant Over Break of Previous Agreement. Washington, D. C Word that the Turkish government has rescinded its previous agreement to allow several hundred Americans to leave the Turk ish empire via Jaffa reached the State department Wednesday from Ambas. sador Elkus at Constantinople. The ambassador was informed that the Americans cannot be permitted to de part, because of military necessity. It is not known what action may be taken in an effort to bring Turkey to terms. The practical internment of the Americans is a source of indigna tion to the government It is said to be an unprecedented situation which will require most delicate handling. The exact number of persons affect ed cannot be learned. The American cruiser Des Moines, now at Alexandria, is due at Jaffa shortly, where, after unloading Red Cross supplies, she bad been expected to take on the refugees. It is under stood, now, however, that officers from the vessel will not even be allowed to land to investigate conditions. German Submarine Sinks American Steamer Chemung Paris (Censored) A Madrid dispatch Tuesday, announces the arrival at of the crew of the American steamer Chemung, torpedoed in by a German submarine. The com mander gave the crew only a few min utes to abandon the vessel, not allow ing them even to take their money and papers. The submarine towed the lifeboats in which the crew were placed to with in five miles of the coast, where it abandoned them. The Chemung went down with the Stars and Stripes floating at her mast. A lively incident preceded the sinking of the vessel. The German command er gave orders that the American flag Bhould be lowered, and German sailors prepared to put them into effect. They met with stubborn resistance on the part of the American Captain Duffy and his crew, who refused to haul down the colors, saying that if the ship had to be sunk it would be with the flag flying. Captain Duffy maintained his ground, and so rapid were the prepara tions to sink the Chemung made that further discussion about the flag ceased, and after the. captain and crew had been taken aboard the submarine a torpedo and three shells Bent against the side of the American ship sent her to the bottom. Although angry at the action of the German commander, Captain Duffy and his men had some measure of sat isfaction in seeing the flag at the masthead as the waves finally engulfed their ship. New York Women Start Boycott on Eggs Appeal to Wilson New York New York City's fight to reduce the high cost of living began in earnest Wednesday, with a boycott on eggs by thousands of housewives. This was followed by a direct appeal by the National Housewives League to President Wilson for the regulation of the country's food supply, and meet ings of Federal, state and city officials and investigating committees, aa well as various civic organizations, at which resolutions were passed looking to a speedy readjustment of conditions. Virtually every branch of the muni cipal government was at work in an endeavor to fin'1 s solution to the food problem. A statement issued by Is rael Feinberg, president of the board of coroners, declared that ' 'the present high cost of living is directly reflected In an increase in the number of sui cides, deaths from lack of proper nour ishment and birth control." Fate of Carranza Garrison in Doubt. Juarez, Mex. Another day of sus pense passed Wednesday without defi nite announcement as to the fate of the Carranza garrison in Chihuahua City. It has now been six days since the first skirmishing started, which opened the Biege of the state capital, and three days since the telegraph line was cut. Since early morning, persistent re ports have been in circulation here and in El Paso to the effect that General Trevino has been forced to abandon the state capital because his ammu nition supply was exhausted. Belgian Poet is Killed. Paris Emile Verhaoren, the Bel gian poet, was crushed to death Wed nesday at Rouen while endeavoring to board a train. The French government has been requested by Senator Mar chand to hold a national funeral for Verhaeren. He suggested that his body be placed in the Pantheon, there to be held until Belgium is free. Emile Verhaeren was born in May, 1866, at St. Amand, near Antwerp. He was educated at the University of Louvain and after graduation was admitted to the bar, but latter gave up law. Ministers Ars Stirred Up. Tacoma, Wash. Tacoma ministers are wrought up over the statement made before the Ministerial Alliance by Rev. Frank Dyer, pastor of the First Congregational church, that, while the Bible was written by the best thinkers of the time, preaching today must be based on the thought of the best thinkers of the present. Fellow pastors took sdverse view of the subject, and declared that preach ing today should be founded on the Bible aa it stands rather than upon the modern view of truth as Christianity. Antis to Hold Convention. ' Washington, D. C Plans for the convention of women opposed to suf frage on December ? include a banquet of a thousand covers and a mass meet ing at which Miss Mabel Boardman and Major General Leonard Wood, of New York, president of the National Association Opposed to Woman Suf frage are announced as speakers. - - It will be the first time that women opposed to suffrage have met in a na tional convention. South America Now Buying Wheat in Pacific Northwest Portland Australian grain dealers are establishing themselves in the West Coast trade, a zone reached from the Northwest in times when tonnage was plentiful, and two charters were made last week for the business from the Antipodes to South America, the American ship Star of Poland being fixed at 70 shillings and the barkentine Hawaii at 76 shillings to load wheat at Adelaide for Callao. Exporters here do not look for a ma terial movement of Australian cereal to the West Coast, and reason that with the difference in the market Northwest firms easily could compete with the Australians. But the ton nage feature is a drawback, besides the big movement from this district at present is by railroad to the Atlantic and thence by water to Europe. Naval Base Work is Speeded. Portland To Insure the least possi ble delay in getting at facts relative to advantages in the Columbia river for a naval base, the Chamber of Com merce is engaged In assembling all data under a system that will facilitate consideration by Rear Admiral Helm and his brother officers on the commis sion, while a complete chart of the Willamette and Columbia rivers, from Portland to the sea, is being prepared by G. B. Hegardt chief engineer of the Commission of Public Docks. The officers are due about December 16. . In addition the chamber of com merce has decided to request the Com mission of Public Docks to relieve Mr. Hegardt from duty during the period the navy officers are in this district, even for a week if necessary, so that he may accompany them on their trips of inspection. Mills Ship and Run Again. Baker, Or. A slight lifting in the shortage of cars on the O.-W. R. & N, permitted Baker lumber companies to clear out their shipping sheds, and all mills were running this week. Al though the supply was not normal, it was such an improvement that mill owners were jubilant. The Baker White Pine plant, which shut down one day because of the shortage, was able to resume with the full crew of men, and the three other mills, which had planned to stop unless there was relief, were able to continue. The railroad was unable to promise a normal supply or a continuation of the present service. Fresh Eggs 60 to 66 Cents. Spokane Eggs generally soar more or leBs in price after a long spell of cold weather, but, the dealers say, the present high prices are almost, if not quite, unprecedented so early in the season. Eggs, guaranteed to be new laid, at 60 and 66 cents a dozen, Thurs day's price, are somewhat of a luxury, and cold storage ones, st 60 cents a dozen, though useful for some pur poses, are far from cheap. So far Chinese eggs are not on sale. Butter has put on its winter price of 60 cents a pound retail for the best brands. , . Embargo on Cars to U. S. Vancouver, B. C. The controversy between the Canadian Pacific railroad and the American lines relative to re tention of freight cars reached open hostilities when D. C. Coleman, of the Canadian Pacific, issued instructions all along the line that under no cir cumstances Bhould Canadian Pacific freight cars be permitted to cross the border into the United States. British Columbia shingle manufacturers are adversely affected by the order. Cana dian Pacific officials declare that Amer ican railroads have 20,000 of their cars. j? "Mv!

Try it 8eed Corn la Important Washington, D. C The need of sources from which suitable seed corn can be obtained in the semi-arid and Rocky Mountain regions Is great and is increasing. Being a sparsely-settled country, subject to extreme sea sonal variations, seed of adapted va rieties is much scarcer each year than in sections where the corn crop is more certain. Nothing else would so cheaply turn many corn failures Into successes as the establishment of good sources of seed corn. , While a knowledee of corn breeding would be helpful, any farmer can do much toward supplying himself . and his neighborhood with better seed corn by starting with a well-tested variety and selecting the best ears from the best stalks each year. By so doing, natural selection assists in weeding out the unfit Where corn is grown for grain there is no better locality from which to obtain seed than that In which it is to be planted. Where grown for the silo or for large stalk growth, seed may be obtained to advantage from a more southern locality or a lower al titude. Farmers' bulletin 416 of the United States Department of Agriculture, which may be obtained free upon ap plication, treats of the selection and care of seed corn. A point of, greatest Importance is that of holding over from good crops sufficient seed corn for two or three years' plantings. . This is essential In the origination and perpetuation of high-yielding varieties adapted to lo cal conditions. Seed corn that ma tures well and dries out promptly without injury will keep Its good ger minating and yielding power for four or five years. Seed corn of the best quality can be always available by protecting a sufficient quantity from moisture and insects and other animals.

Cecil, Portland, Oregon, announces that af ter careful consideration the Secre tary of Agriculture has approved an increase in the fees to be charged for grazing livestock on the National For est ranges. This increase will be made gradu ally tor the next three years, until the charges reach a point equivalent to two-thirds of the charges made by private owners for grazing stock on tnetr lana. Stock associations are being ad vised of this decision in order that statements regarding the views of their members may be submitted to the Forester by February 1, 1917, in case they desire to discuss the matter. - Investigation ot rental values from time to time, says Mr. Cecil, has re vealed that the Government charges for grazing on the National Forests are only one-third of the market value of the forage. Since timber and other resources of the National Forests are sold at their market value, there is an Increasing demand that forage re sources should be disposed ot in like manner. The National Forest were created for the primary purpose ot conserv ing the timber and water supply. The grazing use of the ranges, which was found to exist when active control of the forests was begun, was treated as a secondary matter and only a por tion of the administrative cost of handling the forests was asked as a grazing fee. Since the National Forest states share in all the receipts from National Forest business to the extent of 26 per cent, the revenue to these states will be materially increased by this decision. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1916, the states of Oregon and Wash ington received $32,820.65 as their share of the grazing receipts from the National Forests within their bor ders. Without considering increased receipts from other forest resources this figure would be doubled by the advance in- grazing rateB. NEW MODERN DANCING. E. Fletcher Hallamore. the leadinft- Dancing; Ex.
