Market Is Strong
First Time This Week
(Copyright 10K1 by the New York Ev

New York, Jan. 21. For the first
time this week, the stock market today
displayed a definitely strong tone.
Prices of industrial shares advanced
from half to over two points in the first
hour, and added enough before noon
to mako gains over yesterday's close of
from one to five points. After tho noon
hour, the tone improved, although not
so rapidly as in the forenoon.
United States industrial alcohol,
Crucible steel, Htudebaker; Baldwin lo
comotive; Mercantile Marino preferred,
Mexico petroleum, American Smelting
and American cnu wero the strongest
and from their character can be judged
the ennracter of the market.
Substantial buying for the long ac
count was hardly a reason for the im
provement today. It was mostly attrib
uted to covering on snort contracts and
inquiry from professionals seeking to
make a "turn."

William H. Avery, local agent for

effect an agreement with the Southern
Pacific to handle all its trans-Pacific
freight shipped to this coast.
Shipping men can see a great volume
of business slipping away from this port
if the agreement is made. That the
railroad will look with favor on the
proposal is considered possible.

CRITICIZES SUCCESSOR
Intimates Nary Department
Lacks Brains Ever Since
He Quit It
Washington, Jan. 21. The principal
fault of the administration naval pro
gram was designated by Republican ex
Secrctary of the Navy Georgo Von L.
Meyer today before the National Secur
ity Congress as an absence of brain.
President Charles Curtis of tho Inter
national Curtis Marine Turbine com
pany, insisted that more ships are need
ed, and he said it is cheaper to build
them in private yards, than in govern
ment yards, an apparent saving, due to
faulty government bookkeeping, not
withstanding. President P. Ross, of the National
Marino league, pleaded for an adequate
American merchant marine as a second
line defense.
"It is a rare exception," said Meyer,
"for an American warship to havo a
full complement. At present wo arc
35,000 men short.
"The torpedo boat destroyers of tho
Atlantic service are so c'ort that only
20 of them remain in active service,
while the battleship fleet this winter
will consist of only 15 vessels instead of
the former number of 21. Our subma
rines are unfit lor. service. As for a
war basis, we are short 2,000 officers
even after employing the retired list.
"The fundamental defect is that
there is no competent military organiza
tion, charged with preparation of the
fleets for war. "
SOUTH BOTTOM
(Capital Journal Spccinl Service.)
South Bottom, Ore., Jan. 21. Fears
have been entertained by loganberry
growers that tho low temperature dur
ing the 1-ite storm has resulted in kill
ing the vines. The record of the logan
berry is that the vine will enduro zero
temperature if matured before entering
winter. As the dry senson Inst inn
thoroughly hardened off the vino it is
not likely that any considerable injury
has been done except a possible slight
freezing back of the ends. It is safe
to say that neirly one third of tho
vines of tho total loganberry acreage
arc still on the ground. Theso have
been well protested by the snow and
ate safe.
Tho social circle in this community
meets each Saturday night and its
members indulge in games of cirds,
conversation an 1 refreshments. Theso
evenings afford a pleasing variety to
the long quiet whiter months. The
next meeting will be with Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Lyniff.
Quito a number of our people have
?assed through a siege of the grip. Mrs.

Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, parents of
Airs. II. Jerman, have been passing a
few days at tho homo of Jerman
Bros. Mr. Taylor had charge of tho
exhibits in the Oregon building at the
Panaiua-Picific exposition. Air. Tay
lor is enthusiastic over tho advertising
results achieved by Oregon at tiio ex
position through its magnificent dis
plays of fruits, vegetables, cereals aud
other agricultural and manufactured
products. He believes tint tho favor
with which tho Oregon prune, cherry,
walnut and loganberry worn received
by visitors indicates that those prod
ucts alono have won for this state an
enviable and most favorable, reputation
tiinong those looking forward to a
home on the IVicifie. coast.
WILLAIV1ETTE NOTES
That Willamtle is known in the east
as well ns the west is shown by the
fact that Dr. Doncy was recently tnc
ree.epient of a check for $500 from
Henry Clews, banker of New York.
This money is to bo used as an endow
ment and tho interest accruing thoro-
trom will be used to establish a Colo-
man alcove in the Willamette libriry
in honor of Dr. .1. II. Coleman, who
was president of the institution for six
years, 1D02-1908. Mr. Clews was a
liersonal friend of Dr. Coleman, and
stated that ho was desirous of seoing
somo memorial for the memory of his
mend anil was sorry ho could not re
mit X larger sum than ho did. Dr. Hon
ey is pliiiiiiing to make tho fund reach
tho $.2,500 mark and then tho library
will ho enlarged and at tho same time
the man, whoso influence was so help
ful, will bo remembered by future gen
erations.

Rickreall's fine high school building,
one of the most modern structures of its
kind in the country, was totally
destroyed by fire Monday evening, with

in a separate building, were saved. The
value of the building destroyed was
about $5,000, and of the contents ;(u0.
This iB partially offset by insurance to
tho amount of $-1,000.

burst into flame about 7 o'clock that
evening. By the time tho second fire
had been discovered it was impossible
to save any of tho furnishings.
