gress to make i.vlu -enforcement
of tbe statute prohib
iting the casting of troublesome oil
upon the waters. Another would
request the city to enforce the or
dlnance providing barges to carry
off the oil.
How to dispose of tbe waste
even should it all be poured into
barges is another problem. Com
mercially It has little value, It is
said, and it would be useless to
dump it at sea, even so far as fifty
miles. For tbe oil would come
back, Just like the cats people try
to get rid of by taking to the
country. Shipping men, however,
express tbe belief that a profitable
means of utilizing the waste will
be found.
Wrangel's
Army's Fate
Still Puzzle
Athens, Sept. 22. The ultimate
fate of General Wrangel's Russian
army in exile of whom 20,000 of
ficers and men still are encamped
on the Gallipoll peninsula still
continues one of tbe unsolved puz
zles of the Near East.
General Wrangel has held to
gether the best of his officers and
men from among the refugee army
which fled from Russia before the
victorious bolshevik!. He has hop
ed that his forces would be again
needed in Russia to maintain a
new government "when the soviet
regime collapsed."
But this Is a hope deferred and
Wrangel's best fighting men wait
in their tents and huts on Galli
poll. Major Jean de Roovcr, chairman
of the league of nations commis
sion for the exchange of popula
. tlons between Greece and Bul
garia, has visited the Russian
camp and brought away a very
favorable impression of the offl
cars and men. He knows some
thing about the Russia fighting
man for he was formerly the Bel
gian representative with Wran
gel's army when it was the bul
wark of the anti-bolshevik
strength in. the Crimea. He says:
"In this camp, besides 1 500
women and children, there are
8000 officers, 10,000 seldiers and
2000 cadets In the military
schools. These troops have kept
their military organization. Their
morale Is of the highest and they
. voluntarily submit to tbe most
stern discipline; for in all their
hardships they are buoyed up by
an unquestioning faith In their
chief, fieneral Wrangel, and In the
greatness of their mission.
"They are encamped under can
vas, or In old huts that have no
dors or windows, but are always
In an Irreproachable state of
cleanliness.
"They are fed hy Franee. In
addition, General Wrangel is pay
Inf them, from the little money he
still lias about a dollar a month.

getting employment as labor

Coming To The Oregon
Spurns $750,000
Offer To Keep
Home For Cat
New York, Sept. 21. A woman
who owns a yard facing 50 feet
on Fifth Avenue at 39th Street,
in the center of the city's most
fashionable shopping district, re
fuses to sell It because her cat
"has to have a ptace to play In."
The property Is worth about
$750,000, according to real estate
men.
The dollars paid on it each
year in taxes would, if stacked
dollar on dollar, make a hurdle
not to be sneered at by anything
short of the cow who jumped over
the moon. The cat Is "Just one
of these walkln' round cats." It
was never known to take a prize!

Other wealthy people have given
strange reasons for refusing to
sell business district property
which was eagerly sought by
many buyers. Same time ago a
man who owned a building in
Broadway Just below Times
Square wanted contract stipula
tions that none of the prospective
buyers would lease it to certain
businesses. His list began with
aviary and went right on down
the alphabet to zylophone dealers
skipping so few lines of business
that none would take the place.
Just above the Times Square
section of Broadway an aged prop
erty owner had a vacant five story
building that an automobile Hales

of a great conflagration. They
have formed a committee to see
that the harbor is cleansed of this

Great pools hsre collected In
