The VoMtlts of tho eoinprehoiiMve xtud.v of tho ef fects of tho Kitropotin war tin busi ness throughout the I'liilcd States, gained from tho reports received trom inorq than GOO eorro!pondents n- chiding governors, mayors, nffioinls of Unions, industrial associations, banks and building associations, will ho made at tho fifteenth annual meet- inr of the National Civie federation, which begins hero tomorrow. The report says that condition are improving and predicts that a further advanee toward prosperity will ho witnessed during the ne.t few montli-i. . The report-was prepared by .Tolin Hays Hammond, chairman of the conimittee which handled the invest! pit ion, and strikes u gloomy note in speaking of the unemployed. It statos that the country will he con fronted this winter "by a situation which will demand extraordinary philanthropio effort." The great savings institutions of New York City report that bu-iue-s is now altogether normal, the report says. "In Philadelphia, and even in riUMmrg, despite tho severity of the depression in the iron and steel trade, the do'io-dti of the largest .sav ings banks have durin? the hist month exceeded withdrawals." Certain lines of trade have been stimulated because of orders plneed by foreign nations, but the purchase of supplies by belligerent nations "fiulisfies but a Might fraction of the Amorienn business world,' the report states. PAItIS, Dec. 5, 5:20 a. in. Tho Kclalro nays today that Don Juimo of nourbon, tho Spanish pretender, ad dressed an appeal to his partisans Borne tlmo ago to Ido with France in tho war. This came to the knowl edge of tho Austrian authorities, and as Don Jalmo lives in Austria, ho wus placed under close arrest in his castle at KroliBdorf. Tho Immediate excuse for thin action was tho fact that he had been a colonel in tho Russian army.- ' An appeal was made to Emperor Francis Joseph, but bis majesty said lie could do nothing in the matter. Don Jaime persisted In his efforts to gain freedom and was told finally that he could either remain a priso ner In Austria until tliu end of tho war, or lea vo-tho country. Ho choso tho lattor courso aud Is now In Swit zerland.

SI0 GREAT SAMS ANKS REPORT BUSKSS GOD SPANISH PRETENDER AUSTRIAN PRISONER SUPERVISION AS WELL AS ARBITRATION T11K more tlio Colorado and othtr labor wars arc stud ied llu- more- (he realization grows Hint there must be compulsory arbitration of all labor disputes affecting pub lic welfare. The attitude of the operators toward their employes is the same as that shown in all mine labor wais, where the employers have supplanted the strikers- with illiterate for eigners imported for the purpose, and-where gunmen are employed to murder strikers and the state militia used as a coercive club against employes. An insight into the Colorado mine conditions is given in the recent report of Hew Henry A. Atkinson, social service investigator for the Congregational and other ennrenes, niiernn mvesngauou 01 im situatien: im.r't iiilvi tin uiivoii This Is Colorado's fourth great strike. of about ten years After the strIKo with Imported strikebreakers, the Anglo The new comers wore non-KiiRllsh speaking forelKiters. men much Inferior to the strikers whose places they flllea. Tlie strlkors ten years later woro those strike-breakers who had been Imported Into the state ton years before. The strike was again won by brtngliiK In another group of strike breakers, all foreigners, and viewed as laborers, nn appreciably Inferior class of mMi. Ten yenrs Inter these men went on strike, and after deporting their leaders the companies brought in men to take their places; men from Southern Italy, Greeks. Slavs, Mexicans, Japanese, 2i nationalities in all. In the counties of Las Animas and Huerfano live only oito-elghteeuth ot the .population, but those counties have two-thirds of the Illiteracy of the state. It Is these, men who have found conditions Intolerable aud have struck. Conditions must, indeed be intolerable when the im ported pauper laborers of Europe cannot stand them. An idea of these conditions is given in the report of the fed eral bureau of mines, which shows that. :Jti51 men were killed in mines during lOl.'i and 100,000 injured. The death rate was 3.-19 for each 1000 employed. Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, director of the bureau, states that this death and injured list is excessive; and unnecessary, a discredit to the industry and the nation. In Europeaninines but one-half to one-third of the number killed in the United States arc slain. Dr. Holmes says: In tho Inst throe years, as far back as the records of the bureau cover ing certain branches of the Industry go, the mines and ojtarrtcs of the United States have swallowed up 10,487 human lives and hnvo Incapaci tated temporarily probably a quarter of a million men. And the saddest part of it all Is that a groat part of this death roll and a stlir greater part of tho Injuries aro not necessary. I believe I ant conservative when I wiv that half of tho afi&l men killed In the year UU:t might have boon saved and thrce-fourths'of the 100,000 men Injured In tho same vear might hae escaped Injury had all the various agencies Involved, ih,. operators, the miners, and tho State and Natlonnl Governments dono their full dim In thn matter. rt is evident that not only should there be compnlsorv arbitration to end labor wars, but also federal supervision of safety appliances to end wholesale slaughter in the mines, for the operators have proven that human life is recklessly risked whenever there is a dollar in dividends to be made bv it. INDUSTRIAL OPPORTUNITIES NEGLECTED rjrrcECTOtt of the United States Geological Survev L-' George Otis Smith calls attention to the industrial opportunities awaiting the nation, asserting that the Kuro pean war is creating new demands for raw'materials, hith erto imported, which can be supplied at home. The tendency, lie asserts, is away from geographical centralization of industry, rather than towards it. Cheap power is an essential for manufacturing, and it is also un evenly distributed. Those regions that, lack coal, have petroleum, like California, or hydro-electric power like the northwest. In brief, the distribution of raw material and of power is the key to industrial opportunities. He asserts: Four constituents enter Into tho reaction that we term industry Two or these, brain and brawn, nro organic compounds and two aro perhaps to bo regarded as inorganic money and jnaterlal. Nono of these components is wanting hero In the United States and In fact tholr abundance affords the best reason for an optimistic outlook upon the present Industrial situation. Of these four constituents, labor and capital and brains aro all more easily transported generally than the crudo materials upon largo tonnages of which the Industry must depend. Probably no region is richer in raw materials or has cheaper power than southern Oregon and certainly no region makes less use of them and fails more to grasp op portunities. With forests full of timber and mountains full of ores, Ave utilize nothing. To bring an abiding prosperity we must develop indus trially as well as agriculturally. Wo must utilize our own raw materials in our own manufactures to realize our dest in v. Excelsior Making Tho forest bervlce has been making recontly a series of experiment to dp. termino the suitability of certain woods for tho manufacture of ex celslor. The best grades are made from basswood, but on account of Its scarcity, It is not extensively iibod.
