MAY-DAY DISAPPOINTMENTS Minnesota authorities have decided Jess Willard and Fulton cannot pull off their match at the Twin Cities. This is no doubt cheerful news for Willard and most folks are getting to be of the opinion that Fulton will not shed any tears if the match does not come off at all. Oar Daily Story Attorney General Brown holds that it doesn't make any difference with the primary election whether the name of S. B.

He is getting his force together agzin and will strike poon. The game has arrived at such a stage that any con-it tmued lull in the lighting would be iatal to the morale ot the German troops and still worse for that of the civilian population. That the force of the last drive has been ex pended seems assured, though there will be much fighting yet. It is claimed that the kaiser was against this last drive on the western front, but his advice was not heeded 6nd the demands of Hindenburg and Ludenorff backed by the crown prince prevailed. If the campaign fails, as it is apparently certain to do, Hindenbuip and Ludedorff will lioth be discredited. Up to this time these two have been looked up to as invincible, and the German people felt that m Ions as thev led. victory was certain, failure on tne west front at this time will wither all the laurels in these warriors' crowns. The dispatches mention a Spanish statesman returning from Germany who was inter viewed bv a correspondent of a telegraph association and gave the above concerning the west front campaign, and added, "that if the campaign was not a success oy ine middle of Mav that it meant the return of Von Beulow to power, and the launching of another peace proposition." When the campaign started tne k user mvuea me press correspondents of the neutral countries to go along and nee the allies whipped. He was that certain of success. Hindenburg had given out that he '.vould take breakfast in Paris April 2, and this was part of the propaganda used in forcing a treaty with the Russians. In the present drive toward the channel he had promised to separate the French and British armies, to capture Amiens and destroy Paris. Incidentally the capture of Calais was to Ik) staged. All this was to have happened before the first of May.

The winter, cold and long and drear, killed off a lot of jays ad rubes; how glad am I that I'm still here, to blow myself for inner tubes! Sometimes I thought, when tempests shrieked, I wouldn't live to see the spring, for rheumatism through me streaked, and wrenched my joints like everything. When blizzards, whooping down from Nome, were brawling angrily and loud, I called morticians to my home, to efiure on a bier and shroud. Rut I hung on through sleet and snow, the lamp of life main lined its flame; and now that springtime breezes blow, you'll see me in the motor game. I'll buy some bonds to save tne boons inherited from martial sires; I'll spend some bones for bread and prunes, and blow some more for ruDDer tires, i've cut out rich cigars and wines, and made a simple bill of fare: I'll need mv chanirp t.n nnv rtfv finps xor ousting speea laws nere and there.

NIW tOBH CITY J The government yesterday fixed the price of all-rubber in the United States and assumed complete control of the sale and handling of all stocks. This was done because same ten days ago speculation in rubber became active and the price was being rapidly forced up. The first re sult of the government's action was a reduction of ten per cent from the prices of the day before. This will pre sent further speculation in the commodity, and while 'Assuming control it is stated the government will also place rubber on the list of restricted imports. This will pe done to conserve ship space. It will also prevent further increase in prices of tires ami other rubber goods. . Hy JAMS PHELPS THE OUTSTRETCHED HAND.

The hours would be go arranged that Mr. Schwab would see all of them.

Rose Co., Cleveland, a TRY JOURNAL WANT ADS , tHMMt MM To the Gas Customers of the Salem Gas Plant Gas Rate Talk No. 1 Seme people like to be concentional, other people are forced to be so, by conditions beyond their control. It seems that it is conventional to raise prices on everything in this day and age, and we r.re going to be forced to be conventional and raise our rates for gas. At least we must apply to the Public Service Commission for per mission to do so. Our cost of manufacturing gas has been steadily going up for the last year and a half, due to prices of coal andother material being steadily raised and to the necessity of paying higher and higher wages These higher, waees are necessary to enable the men to meet the increased living expenses. .ueu1?Ioyeels cf .U1: Company, from the president down to the laborer in the ditch, have be?n giving the best service within their power to the citizens of Salem in furnishing the various services and commodities which we have for sale. We feel we have been repaid for our efforts to do so the feeling of ap preciation and good will toward the company on the part of the public that has been made apparent and expressed to us many times. ' ' Having put forth considerable effort to gain this good will, it is our earnest desire to do everything possible to maintain it. Therefore since we must ask for ah increase in our gas rates we wish n By so doing we believe that we will forestall to a large degree nwh rik faction and Lord feelings as might otherwise exist ci the part of some It is also our idea that the citizens also feel that the best interest of the city are served by the maintenance of friendly and amicable Sions be tween ita citizens and its public utility companies. rewnons De- We therefore propose to publish a series of statements or "talks" in thp next week or two explaining the financial and physical condition of our cas plant m an effort to maintain the good will between our customers and our! selves that now exists. m our n n - PORTLANDRAILWAY, LIGHT & POWER CO. n
