STATE HEALTH CONDITIONS
tuberculosis In these counties. Wo
know a great many cases exist and
we know that the people of eastern
counties are kidding themselves in
to believing thoy are free from tbs
disease. If the facts prove that,
sanltoriums are needed we will leave
no stone unturned to get them.
There are, according to estimates,
over seven thousand cases of tuber-
to population."
"The county is bandlcanned by
being unable to reach outlying dis
trlcts. Most of them have no facl-
Ities for taking care of any kind of
patient and no system of public
often advance to dangerous stages,
The Willamette valley Is far ahead of
Kastern Oregon in the nubile health
programme. Another aim of the sur-
tey It to Interest doctors in turning
In complete vital statistics to the
State Board of Health."
"Another thing" young Osborn
continued, "there is no reason why
Central Oregon should not have a
district hospital. Experts have pro-
nounced this climate admirably ad-
apted for sanltorla."

for all the demands of a growing
community for years to come.

Twelve bold yankees will be shak
ing the shimmy with a vengance on
ttie Beverloo rifle range, close to
Antwerp, Belguim, when the Olympic
Rifle Match begins on July 22.
When the rules governing the match
were received at Quantico, Va. where
the competition for the American
team was held on the Marine Corps
Rifle range, the Yankee shots found
themselves facing a unique target
at the 300 and 600 meter distances
The bull's eye contained an inner
bull, with a scoring value of six in
stead of the conventional .five. How
to signal the value of a six was the
problem. . -
Major W. Dudley Smith of the
Mcrines, the American team coach,
solved the problem. The scoring
disc which showed white on one side
for a five and red on the other side
for a four, was shown first five and
then four. "Shaking the shimmy"
was the range nickname that was
promptly agreed on by the nine army
four Marine Corps, two navy and two
civilians who made the team. So
they'll be "shaking the shimmy" in
Pelgium with great frequency to the
music of rifle Bhots.

What promises to make juniper,
of some kinds at least, more vaiuabk
than many of the woods of the
country, looms now in a lead pencil
industry.
For many years C. S. Hudson of
Bend and other interests have beea
working on the possibility of manu
facturing pencil slats from juniper,
and they have reached a point in the
industry where there seems to be
no question about the feasibility of
the industry.
Other interests are looking this
way, and the thousands of acres of
red juniper adjacent to this city
should make the location of a pen
cil factory here feasable.
Along the same line.t an article)
in the Portland Telegram of yester
day gives some interesting facts, the
article says:
At last the long dispised juniper -of
Central and Eastern Oregon has
come into its own.
Since the berries from this tree
no longer can be used in the manu
facture of gin, the Juniper was be
lieved to have no use except to fur
nish firewood to the hardy home
steader or to provide shade for rat
tlesnakes and jackrabbita of the aemt
arid regions of the state.
Used For Pencil
The fact that it has a high com
mercial value was discovered by Col
onel John Leader, formerly of th
Royal Irish Rifles during the war
and later Instructor in military tac
tics at the University of Oregon and
row a member of the American Pac
ific export company of Portland.
Hereafter the world will look to
the Oregon Juniper to supply its
stock of lead pencil wood, for too
wood of the juniper has been found
superior to that of the Tennessee red
cedar and all other woods in the man
ufacture of lead pencils by the Uni
ted States government labratories.
IH-niand Is Heavy
Since he made his discovery by
haying the wood of the juniper tested
Colonel Leader has sent samples to
lead pencil manufacturers all over
the world, with the result that ho
has tar more orders than he can till.
His great difficulty is to obtain men
to cut the wood. Although he is
; offering high prices for both logs
j and cut pencil blocks the orders are
; mere than double the supply obtain
able. i There are thousands of acres of
juniper in Central and Eastern Ore
gon, and Colonel Leader says that
there is a small fortune for the man
who will engage in the cutting of
the timber for commercial purposes.
. Cedar Supply Short
Long have I desired to develop
some industry In Oregon and I be
lieve I have hit upon the right pro
position, he said this morning. Th
stock of cedar for lead pencils in
the South, which has been the source
of supply for many years, haa be
come exhausted and high prices are
now being offered for wood from
which lead pencils can be manufac
tured. MERCURY REACHES HIGH
POINT ON JUNE 21ST.
The hotest day that we suffered
during the month of June was on
Monday, June 21st, when the mer
cury went up to ninety-two degrees.
The lowest temperature registered
was on Thursday, June 24th whea
it registered just 31 degrees. These
are the highest and lowest temper
atures registered in the month of
June. During the month rain fell
to the amount of .92 inches which
meant a great deal to the farmers of
this country.
