Secretary Lansing authorized this statement: Lansing's Statement., "We do not believe that Japan has had any knowledge of this or that she would consider any proposition made by an enemy." " As to Mexico, the secretary said: "We have confidence that Mexico would riot be a party to any such agreement In view of the friendly re latione existing between this govern ment and the de facto government of Mexico." Secretary Lansing took great care, It will be noted, to exonerate both Japan and Mexico and said this government had no knowledge that the proposal had been conveyed through Mexico to Japan. In View, of the fact that the plan was not to be presented until "It is Kii'tain that there will be an out break of war with the United States," It was not certain. Secretary. Lans ing said, that the matter had been presented officially" to ' General Car ranza at all. " ; ( !-' Tracing the Mot. l. It is known definitely officials said, that Jilmmormnnn's instructions reached Count Von Befnstflpff here in Washington .. that he forwarded them to Mexico City and that they reached .the German minister there. At this point the trail of official cer tainly,' is' lost.

Senator La Follette began a single-handed filibuster against the armed r.eutral Ity bill when tho senate reconvened at 12:55 o'clock this morning, after TODAY'S MARKOS a recess of ten minutes, following the passage of the revenue bill. Senator Stone, chairman of the foreign relations committee sought unanimous consent to dispense with parliamentary formalities, in order to get formally before the senate the armed neutrality measure reported by the committee, which would auth orize the president to arm Ajnerlcan ships and employ "other instrumen talities," to protect American life and rights on the sea. Prompt objection enmc from Sena tor La Toilette, who Insisted on con suming time reading the journal of previous days over the vigorous ob jection of Senators Fall and Polndex ter, republicans. Finally the Wisconsin senator was Induced to withdraw his objection on condition that there' should bo no attempt to pass the bill efore Friday. When democratic leaders agreed to this, the committee presented the bill with a favorable report and Senator Stone asked that it lay over until Friday. ''.- Then the senate adjourned until 10 o'clock this (Thursday) morning, the majority abandoning plans for taking up the naval appropriation bill.

EAGLE POIN r EAGLETS By A. C. Howlett There was an announcement made that there would be a dance given last Saturday night by Carl Ringer and a man by tho name of Howell and that a special feature of the dance was to show how the one-step, two-step and other fancy dances should bo porformod and that a charge of 25 cents would bo charged spectators. But owing to tho ex- tremo disagreeablencss of tho wcath- er ocndltlons, snow, rain and slush, there were very lew attended. I heard one elderly woman make the remark that the dancing, that is the scientific dancing, was simply fine and fully un to date. There was an- other feature about the dance or party and that was, when the lady started to collect the 25 cents that there was a general rush for the door, by a cer tain class, but there were enough re mained to make it quite interesting. If it had been generally known just what was coming and the night had not been so very disagreeable there would have been a different turnout. Frank Hazelton Who has been spending the fall and winter in the stato of Washington has returned to the parental roof. , Saturday night wo had'among the transients, J. J. Richardson, adjuster of fire losses and appraiser, who camo out that afternoon, spent the night here, and Sunday went out to A. S. Carlton's farm to adjust the claim for fire that burned the resi dence building some weeks ago. The house was insured for $1000 and was readily allowed by the apprais ers. Among others who spent the night with us were Lyle I'urdon, Hol land Ueter of Medford, and some five or six of our neighbor boys, and Sunday we had Wm. Von der Hellen, wife and two children, J. V.

Gus Nichols brought out a band of about 100 cattle Monday and took them to J. D. Singleton's to feed and Ben'. Iirophy brought out another band and took them over near Med ford to feed. J There was another carload of baled hay went up to Perby Tuesday morn- Ing on the P. & E consigned to Chas. I Humphrey, hut 1 learned that it was !to bo divided with others in that neighborhood. I understand that some of the cattlemen up on Rogue river whero the snow is so deep that the cattle cannot be drove out are having a time trying to save their stock. As a rule they do not have to feed so long as they have had to this season; in fact as a rule they turn their cattle out to grass by this tlmo, but this winter has hung on so long and many of the cattle were thin when they were brought in off of the range and consequently had to be fed earlier in the fall and the fact of their having to feed earlier and later both have run' the most of the cattlemen short of hay, but those who are fortunate enough to have hay to sell are reaping the benefit of the situation.' 'Hrandon Bros, owners of the Snowy Butte mills shiupod out another car load of flour and other products of the mill. They still have a lot of wheat to ship in from Sams valley and over near Medlord as soon as the ground gets hard, enough to hnul It pi ui . i '. .i , i . j fine business here this winter and a prospect of doing bettor next year.

Miss Alice Nygron of Iiko creek, S IT PLAIN The Pure Food and Drug Laws aim to protect the public by preventing mis-statements on the labels of prepa- rations but some people continue to accept "extracts" of cod livers think- ing they will get the benefits of an : emulsion of cod liver oil. The difference is very great. An I "emulsion" contains real cod liver oil, i which has had the hearty endorse- , tnent of the medical profession for ; many years, while an "extract is a product which contains no oil and is hiehly alcoholic. Scott's pjnulston guarantees the high est grade of re ' Norwegian cod liver oil, skilfully blended with glycerine and hypophosphites. Scott's is free from the fa'lfce stimulation of alcohol and is en dorsed by good physicians everywhere. Scolt & Uowfec, niuuui&cUl, N.
