Corvallie European governments and steam ship lines are already .advertising for travel from America .to see the war devastated East. Only a morbid cur iosity could lead the* traveler hunt ing recreation to visit such a scene. Americans should see their own country, and no section affords more real pleasure in summer than a visit to the Pacific Northwest, and partic ularly Oregon. When Oregon gets her good roads linked up for auto travel we may expect this state to become the paradise of the west for the traveling public who seek beau tiful scenery and a salubrious cli mate. There is need for greater ad vertising to induce visitors by mak ing our merits known.—Telephone Register. ------ o------ The Independent’s prediction .of a few weeks ago that even if Henry Ford won his libel suit against the Chicago Tribune he would ldse what money could not repay appears to be borne out by recent proceedings Jn the trial.

An instance of this last occurs in the case of charge 42, which reads: “During the past winter and spring streams of ice-cold water were pour ed upon men confined in goal, and they were compelled to lie all night on cold floors in unheated sells in their wet clothing. Many of them were afterwards removed to hospit als suffering from pneumonia.” To which the answer is as follows: “These statements are untrue. The following constitutes the only pretex for making such a charge;—On one occasion in February last, four pris- oners in Mountjoy Prison, after ex- ercise, instead of returning to their cells, climbed up to a ledge upon tl|r roof of one of the wings of the pris- on. They could not be reached or in duced to come down, and, after being repeatedly cautioned that if they did not come down the hose would be used, it became necessary to get them down to use it. They did come'down. The incident occurred in the presence of the visiting Justices. Changes of clothing were at once provided for these prisoners. Two of them availed themselves of the change of clothing. The Medical Officer took charge of the other two, and had one of them removed to the hospital and the other to bed. No illness resulted to any of the prisoners.” As an instance of the flat denial type of reply, the case of charge 14 may be cited: “Charge—Many of the persons the delegates met in the vicinity of West port corroborated the stories of bru tal treatment to which prisoners in Westpont goal were being subjected, the details being horrible beyond lief. “Reply to charge—There is prison in Westpont." And so on through the entire of-47 charges and answers. It is open to anybody to say which side is a monumental liar. One side or the other is.
