Men who are in the best position to know are authority for the state met, that Oregon'! atate engineer Is the ablest man In that capacity in the West today, and no man who Is in a position to know will question the ability and veracity of the stats engineer. There are some interests, politi cal and otherwise, that are not well pleased with the policies of Percy Cupper. He will not in any way favor the building of any irrigation system or systems that he does not consider absolutely feasable, and he has done more to eliminate wild-cat irrigation enterprises from Oregon than any other agency) supported at all times by the other two able . members of the state irrigation securities com mission. He believes in absolute fairness in the distribution of water and he dislikes questionable tactics when ever found. These very things have branded him, as undesirable to interests that have other purposes, and if he is eliminated from the position he now SHEEP HAVE MANY rARASITKS Sheep probably suffer more than any other kind of live stock from parasites. They are practically Im mune to tuberculosis, which Is one of the serious ailments of cattle and swine, and among sheep there Is nothing comparable to the devastat ing outbreaks of cholera among swine. Sheep have comparatively tew bacterial diseases. Neverthe less, there is a steady loss of sheep in all parts of the country and this loss Is mostly due to parasites. To inform sheep raisers how to combat these parasites and prevent their ap pearance In the flock. Farmers' Bul letin 1150. Parasites and Parasitic Diseases of Sheep, has ust been pub lished by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. It describes the most common of these diseases, giving the symptoms, treatment and preventive measures. It is the sheep owner's business to prevent disease rather than to at tempt to cure it after it has made its appearance, says the bulletin. While there are special treatments for the various diseases which makes it ad visable to call a competent veteri narian, there are a number of ways to prevent diseases caused by para sites. Among these the bulletin sug gests pasture rotation, use of toraga crops, feeding from racks or board floors, draining or filling swamps, and preventing wandering dogs from getting into the flock. Permanent pastures perpetuate parasites it is stated. The eggs of the internal par asites pass from the animals in the manure and thus the pastures be come infested. The proper disposal of the manure will aid in preventing this. Damage from parasites is great est, as a rule, among lambs, and young sheep. Hence, It is Important to par special attention to the care and handling of lambs and yearlings. Animals which are troubled with parasites usually do not have fever, but they are unthrifty and will lose rather than gain in weight. As a rule, also, there Is some Intestine! disturbance, shown by diarrhoea or constipation. Unthriftiness may per sist for long periods, and may have a fatal termination. Prompt action to ascertain the cause when sheep become unthrifty will often prevent serious lovs. Parasites of sheep are divided Into two general groups, external and In ternal. Among the former, lice, sheep ticks and scab mite are the most common. One application of sodium fluoride in the form of a powder rubbed Into the skin will kill biting lice, but not sucking lice. Roth kinds of lice, sheep ticks and scab mites are destroyed by dipping the sheep. For lire and sheep ticks s number of dips are recommended t the bulletin. Including coal tar creo sote, crfsol and nicotin, or nlcotin and sulphur. For scab mites the of ficial dips are lime-sulphur and nico-tin-sulphur dtps. Arsenical dips are not well suited to sheep dipping. All places which have been occupied by lousy sheep should be regarded as dangerous from this standpoint tor a period of three weeks; If occupied by tlcky sheep, as dangerous for a month or two In the case of pastures, and a year or more in the case of a building. Quarantine measures are essential In eradicating scab. The most common Internal para sites of sheep include tapeworms flukes, roundworms, and a few ojher forms such as the maggots causing grub in the head, the tongue-worm and the one-celled Protoxon. One of the most common of these Is the grub, infestation with which can be largely prevented by smearing the nose of the sheep with a preparation made of equal parts of tar and grease, or tar and fish oil. Other important internal parasites dis cussed In the bulletin are tapeworms the grid parasite, hydatid, liver flukes, stomach worms ,nodultr worms, hookworms, and lungworms. Of these, certain tapeworms are fair ly common over the entire United States: one tapeworm occurs only in the West; It is most prevalent In Montana; liver flukes are most com mon in the Gulf States and the Pa cific Coast States; stomach worms and lungworms take a heavy toll in sheep la almost every state in the Union; and nodular worms and hookworms are common in the South and East. Copies of the bulletin can be ob tained free by writing to the United States Department of Agriculture. Washington, D. C.

Prineville maintained a head during the greater part of the game, in the last half Redmond forged ahead until the last minute of play,, when a basket shot by Mills saved the day for Prineville. The basket was made and the ball was about to be tossed up to start the game again when the whistle blew. Almack made six points for Prineville. Mills made one field basket and three points from free throws. Smith came in with four points for the team. Horigan and Jacobs played guard. Prineville's second team played a preliminary game with Redmond's second team Friday night, also. The victory was reversed in this garni, however.
