Ac cording to the Spectator, three are by Mrs. Clarice M. Bruhn a richly colored protile of a young girl and two viva cious studies of children. The other new ones are by Miss Anna M. .Trotter, and display a breadth of treatment and paiuterlike quality which is only too rare in miniature portraits. The three quarter length of a child in white shows a most charmingly childlike and nncoa scions pose. The portrait of t man is full of character, and accomplishes the difficult feat tf treating men's every day attire satisfactorily in a miniature. The portraits of the three young women dark girl in beautitul silvery furs, a young woman in a low-cut green gown, and a serious girl with a delicate muslin fichu are distinctly different in con ception, but in each the figures are solid, enveloped in atmosphere, and pre sented in a delightfully sure and repose ful manner.

President Wil son's efforts to avert ..a threatened I strike of enginemen and trainmen on : western railroads were successful today. It was announced at the White House, that the railroads had agreed to arbi trate the dispute with their employes, j The mediation board, it was an-; nounced, planned to arbitrate only the question' of Increased wages demanded i L,y the employes. ' President Wilson Inst night wrote a 1 letter to the rnilroad managers appeal ing to their patriotism. Presidont Wilson's letter to the rail road mauagers said in part: "The situation has reached a crisis hardly permitting a full consideration of the merits of the controversy and the circumstances are such that I feel I can appeal to your patriotism and regard for the public welfare to make whatever sacrifices are necessary to avert a national disaster." The president urged the acceptance of the arbitration plan, "even though you may regard it in some respects as ! unfair to the interests you represent. Chuirmun Trenholm of the managers' committee answered as follows today: j "Ordinarily the managers insist on a plan of arbitration, recognizing our . . right to be heard upon claims regular ly present in our behalf. In view of Carl .the situation you have presented, your Bcrliu, Aug. 3. Kepoits that British warships had attacked German destroy ers iu the North Bea were received here today.

Reported In London, f London, Aug. 3 Six German and two British warships were reported sunk today as a result of a aesperate naval battle in the North sea.

By , , ; aged, but other information was that one Russian war vessel was ashore on one of the Aland Isiands, which the Germans had seized The German cruiser Augsberg was bombardine the Russian port of Libau Sunday, but nothing had been heard from there today. . ' There wore rumors that i,nglish ana German squadrons had met in the North sea and that two English and six Ger man ships had been sunk, but those re ports lacked confirmation and were not generally credited. That England 's forces had been mod ilized, a step which everyone felt sure was preliminary to a declaration of war, was announced in the house of com mons by Foreign Minister Sir Edward Grew The British, he said, could not see France subdued and Belgium and Hol land ravished honor, if not self-re spect, compelled the nation to go to its ally's aid. He laid especial emphasis lrman disregard Of Belgium's neu trality. Amidst thunders of applause it was also announced that the Irish home rul ers and anti-home rulers had buried their differences and were united against the foreign enemy. Notwithstanding all this enthusiasm, it was said several members of the British cabinet would resign, deeming war wrong under any circumstances. The expectation was that Premier As qnith would so reorganize the ministry as to have all political parties repre sented. Lord Kitchener was deemed a likely candidate for war portfolio. From Vienna came tne news tnat Russians had invaded Austria at Lorn berg. An early report that Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria had been assassinat ed was generally discredited. Italy almost simultaneously pro claimed its neutrality and ordered all its military forces mobilized. It was staUd that tu s was a "precautionary" measure but it was understood it did not suit the labor leaders, and a general strike, with excellent prospects of a revolution as its outcome, was looked for here. Denmark and Sweden were most ap prehensive of German landings on their i-onsts and were looking to their shore defenses. France and Algeria were declared un der martial law. The Russian dowager empress, on her way from London to BU Petersburg, was detained in Berlin and given her choice between returning to London or going to Copenhagen. Several ships were seized in tne North snd Baltic seas, some by German and some by Russian fighting vessels. There was much speculation concern ing the German liner Kronprinzessin Cedlio, which with its cabins full of pnssengers and - nearly $5,000,000 in gold and silver in its strong room was reported trying to get through -the DURBIN BARN BURNS SUNDAY AFTERNOON One Horse, 100 Bushels of Oats, Farm Machinery and Big Lot of Hay Destroyed. The barn on the farm of Frank Dur bin, eight miles east of this city, burned at about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Nearly all of Mr. Durbin's farm machinery was stored in it and one horse was burned. The burn was full of hay which had just been put in and 100 bushels of oats had been put the bins on the day of the fire. The threshing machine was at work on the place at the time and there was no one at the house when the fire broke out. It is said that the barn caught fire so quickly that it is thought spon taneous combustion was the cause. Mr, Do rb in is now in southern Oregon on a hunting trip and will not be home until next Thursday. It is not known whether there was any insurance on tho structure or not. The flames gained headway so rapidly that nothing was saved from the barn. THEY WANT TO GO HOME BUT WALKING IS POOR San Francisco, Aug. 3. Four hundred French reservists had reported for military sorvlce up to noon today at the headquarters of Consul General Monnett here. About 200 were regis tered yesterday. They will leave by train Wednesday for New York, and there awuit an opportunity to cross the Atlantic. Three hundred men eligible for mili tary service enrolled at the German consulate hore touay. It was said Ger mans had been reporting for war duty at this rate for three days. The re servists are being sent to New York by rail as fast as they report, each paying his own fare if able. The con sulate, however, is advancing fare to those who lack funds.

Paul C'ambon, the French Ambassador at London, has is sued an officia- ueciaration throwing on Germany sole responsibility for the present situation and anything which may ensue, tie says that Uermany as not declared war anu that the German mbassador has not left r'aris, yet the German troops are invading France. "Our pacific Intentions," be adds,' "may be judged from the fact tnat al though we knew what was going on, we withdrew the .trench troops 10 kilometers from tae frontier In order to prevent a conflict. TUe . wassador recounts the gen eral facts in the situation and con cludes: 'It is well that at the beginning the world should know these facts." MISTAKES IN BUMMER PRUNING. That a good many Oregon fruitmen make the mistake of overpruning bear ing trees is the conclusion reached by Professor C. I. Lewis, horticulturist at the Agricultural college. Trees are sometimes fairly slaughtered during the summer, branches six inches in diameter being cut off. After having watched these trocs cnrcfully Profossor Lewis is convinced that the practice is goner ally injurious to the tree, exposing parts of it to sunburn and often unbal ancing the tree by forcing out water- Another mistaken or- appeurance for interrogation. It was said that a majority of the committee, including Senator Hitchcock, had agreed to report favorably. A minor ity roport will be submitted by Sena tor Bristow. CANNERY LINE CONSIDERED.

R. & N. would ground Wright asas for a decree of divorce and the custody of a six year old son, Homer. The couple were mar ried in this state in Septomber, 1906. Wright brought the chnrgo of adul tery iu the circuit court during this term of court and when he was not allowed to testify the case was thrown out of court on the grounds of insuf ficient evidence as he was the principal witness for the state. Mrs. Wright wns not tried and the case of the state against Spurgcon was dismissed. LATE BULLETINS.
