' ists Afraid of State
In his address nt the public library
last evening, Governor Withyconibo in
speaking of "Oregon and Its Resourc
es," placed especial stress on tho en
ormous amount of horse power going
to waste in tho rivers and Btroains of
the state. He estimated that fully
5,000,0110 horse power was available in
Oregon and predicted thut tho time
would come when engineers would
harness this power, to be used in tho
developments of the industries of tho
state.
From nn artistic standpoint nnd
that of natural scenic beauty, tho gov
ernor thought no state in tho union
could equal Oregon unit that from a
standpoint of health, none could com
pare, Thanking .T. ,T. Hill for tho wonder
ful t oumbia hii'hway, tho governor
slnted that engineers hail been sent to
Kurope by Mr. Hill to study the best
methods of construction mid from their
observations in the old world, tho Col
umbia highway hud been mndo, and
now Kurope hud no highway that could
compare with it in beauty and generul
artistic effect.
The governor felt assured that with
in a short time Oregon would rank us
one of the great states of tiie country,
as here crops were assured, the Willam
ette valley was the greatest fruit sec
tion In the country, nnd the slato bad
the water power to develop its innnu
ractiires. The only drawback to the linmcdinlo
development of the state was tlio un
friendly feeling towards capital, ho
said. In conversation with eastern cap
italist, while at tiie San I'rancisco ex
position, he was told that eastern men
with money were not friendly towards
Oregon, as they were uncertain as to
what Inns would be enacted by each
legislature that might be unfriendly to
enpitnl, "We should overcome this un
friendly feeling," said the governor,
"os we can develop tho stato only
with the nid of eastern capital,"
A special tribute was paid to the
wonderful beauty of the Willamette
valley, its prosperity nnd the great fu
ture in store tor this part of the stato.

AHA'S FINAL
NOTE TOAUSTRIA.
T01PBBL1
Lansing Uses Vigorous Lang
uage In Repeating United
States Demands
REPLY WILL START FOR
- VIENNA BEFORE NIGHT
Some Information As To
, Lusitania Case Given But
Reply Is Ultimatum
Washington, Dec. IS. Having prac
tically completed a rejoinder that is)
said to bo almost, an abrupt dismissal
of Austria's arguments, Secretary of
Htnto Lansing tins niter noon maris
public tho Austrian answer to Ameri
ca's original demands in tho Ancono,
torpedoing case.
J ho most significant features of tho
Austrian rcplv is nn insistence upon
discussion of the evidence and princi
ples involved in tho American de
mands. Poreign Minister Biirian commented
on tho "sharpness" of tho original
note but held Austria was entitled to a
show down of America's facts. As to;
tho Austrian commander who sank tho
Anconii, tho Vienna foreign office held
that tho note "does not in any way
sufficiently warrant attaching blame"
to nun, even if American contentions
nro correct nnd a "most rigorous legal
conception" were opplicd to judgment
of tho case:
Tho note held Austria not to bo f nil V
informed ns to the communications be
tween America and (Icrmuny in their
submarine controversy.,
It suggested further parley.
This the American government doo
not want nnd will Jiofc permit.
Austria, Held that flic ouglu to cilice
precise specifications as to tiie circum
stances on which tho United State
based its contentions. In tho original
American note said Austria was "room
for doubt." The United States failed
to designnto persons upon whom it re
lied for it a evidence, "and to whom it
apparently believes it may attribute a
higher degree of credibility than to)
tno commander ot tho imperial ana
Hoyal fleet.
Further, America gave no names of
porsons who lost their lives.
But, said Biirian, "in view of the;
fact thut the Washington cabinet has
now mndo a positive statemont" con-
corning loss of lives, Austria "in in
principle ready to enter into nn ex-
ehungo of views in the nffair."
In whnt some regarded as rather curt
language, Austria however reserved th
right to maintain its own legal views
in discussion of the ense, and queried
as to why America referred to the
Gernian-Americna submarine contro
versy settlement, particularly as Aus
tria "by no menus possesses knowledge)
of all tho pertinent correspondence" in
that situntion. At the Biimo time, Aus
tria hold tho cases did not parallel.
Thoro.ore, continued Biirian, Austris.
"leaves it to the Washington cubinet
to formnlnto the pnrticulur points ot
law which the submarine commander
offended."
Lansing also gave out tho Austrian
iniliniraltv ' official report on the An-
cotia ense, saying tho vessel tried to
I escape and declaring that "foreign re
I ports thut a submarine fired on tho Ufa
Jlioats aro . mendacious inventions nnd
! tli n t when the stenmer stopped tho
sulimnrino censed ruing. '
For their dentil, she expresses regret.
Sho reserves the right to place her
own judicial interpretations nnd asks
Washington to formulate the nctunl
circumstances on which America bases
its caso.
Nho claims not to know fully of tho
Ocrman-Amerii'iiu submnriae contro
versy, nnd holds tho cases tiioroin aro
not parallel,

American demands follows)
