Llbby, president of the Wash ington Conservation association, says that "Irrigation la the greatest of the forces now In action for. the conser vation of our natural resources, and perhaps the greatest of any yet to be utilized. In the last six or seven years Irrigation has changed poor sheep pastures Into fruit land actually sell ing at. $300 to (1,000 an acre without improvements. Right use of this .wealth Is the true meaning of con servation of natural resources. Right use prohibits monopoly and prevents waste. Right use of the forest cuts the timber In Its prime, saves the young growth and protects it from fires and overgrazing, and stores the flood waters for irrigation, power and navigation." - . Clean straw used as a mulch around the bush beans will keep them free from dirt. No more delicious vege table can be found in the garden, and If the soil Is rich enough two crops can be raised In one season. Fungi Clioke Out Crops. It has been announced that after experiments lasting thirteen years Prof. H. L.- Boley of the agricultural college of the University of North Dakota, discoverer of the flax sick ness and cure which has rejuvlnated the fields of Russia and older parts o( the United States has discovered the five distinct types of parasites which cause the various varieties of wheat sickness. This sickness has made lands seem, lngly barren throughout the world snd Is gradually choking the pro Tata of crops In the present wheat growing countries. The experiments have been conducted on a plot of land reserved for years at the site of the agricultural college, half a mile west of Fargo. Prof. Boley says the fungi resent' ble in shape and in reaction on plant life the tuberculosis germs which ar fllct human life, but that the cure Is far easier, being nothing less than a collect rotation of crops, being chief- lv clover, corn and potatoes, until tests of land show the absence of the parasitical fungi. Our Farm Animals. Reports of the Bureau of Statistics of the United States Department of Agriculture Indicate that the general condition in regard to hcalthfulness of farm animals on April 1 was very nearly the average; horses and sheep were slightly lower in condition than a year ago and their ten-year average ronaitlon. On Artrll 1. cattle were slightly lower than a year ago but above the average, and swine were above both a year ago and the ten rear average. The losses of horses from disease during the year were 20 per 1,000, as- comnared with 18 the preceding year, and 19. the average annual loss per j - .1 .... ' . . l,uuu in ine yi i" yw The losses qf cattle from disease y were 21per 1,000 head In the past I year, compared with 19 the preceding $ year, and 21, the ten-year average; f the losses from exposure were 17 per f 1,000 In the past year compared with 15 the preceding year, and 17, tne ten-year average. , roultry Pointers. If you are attempting to raise pure bred poultry separate the poorer hens and the poorer cocks from the best birds In the flock nnd then use only those eggs for setting thnt come from your best hens. With all the Increased study that has been given the poultry business Df late years, no feed has been dis covered for young chicks thnt beats bread crumbs. Hens which have to exercise In the straw for their food art healthier and will lay more eggs thon those which stand around and have nothing to do. Cracked corn and cracked wheat fed together make a better food for young chicks than either, fed alone. If wheat Is not available, bran may be used with the corn as a balancer. "If possible give fowls plenty of range. When they are confined their natural rations should be supplied them In the shape of chopped meats and bone meal. Some poultrymon advise the use of chopped corn mixed with turpentine as .a preventative feed against gapes In chicks. The American hen produces more wealth In a year by six times than the gold and Iron mines of the country produce, nnd she gets precious little credit for her work. ' . There Is nothing that mates a pouK try house look cleaner and smell sweeter than a good coat of good whitewash, especially when the odor or some good disinfectant prevades the air and penetrates the crevices. Whitewash Is cheap and is easily ap plied. Egg eating hens, as a general pro position are hens that do not have sufficient meat diet. Give theu plenty of -meat scraps or . bugs, worms and Insects andNthey won't eat eggs. - The Osier theory modified applies to poultry- When a hen sees her granddaughter running around and figuring on being a mother Its about time to have chicken stew. Select for the poultry plant a lo cation, if available, on land naturally well drained, sloping gently toward the south -or southeast, and sheltered If possible, by a belt of trees or an orchard from the harsh winds and storms of winter. Duck eggs should' be' set under hens if early broods are wanted. Hens make better mothers, at least, for early broods, than ducks. k There Is .not as profitable an ad junct to any form, be It large or small or even the tenant, for the amount Invested, as a nice lot of poultry. Have the laying and setting rooms - well cleaned, the partitions white washed and the neBt boxes dusted with tobacco dust to check the lice. The last egg a hen lays before go. lng to setting will often be so small that there will be no yolk In It. There Is an old 'tradition that It Is' bad luck to Bring such an egg into the house, If there Is a place on your premises under some old building, where you can spade up the ground, do It and give It to your hens to work in. They will dig away hard and find worms that will do them ft lot of good. trot hatching purposes take the eggs of hens that lay first. This will help In building up the standard of your chickens. It is a good plan for a farmer's wife to keep a close account of all poultry and egg sales. Bl doing 'so she will bo able to see Just how many grocery and other bills this product will pay ror during the course of a year. And the more attention the fowls get the more bills can be paid. HAIL LABOR PREMIER OX WAY TO MELBOURNE Melbourne. A-ndrew Fisher, Jhe new labor premier of the Australian Commonwealth, has arrived here af ter a triumphant progress all the way from Blsbane, being almost mobbed by his admirers at every stopping place. Vast crowds awaited Mr. FlBher's arrival at the railway station here and the scene was one of wild en thusiasm. When the new premier ar rived at the great exhibition building somewhat later the demonstration by masses of enthusiastic workers was repeated. Mr. Fisher has exhibited remark able self restraint under unparalleled conditions. His speeches, while re assuring nervous interests, are un compromising as regards the land tax and the financial supremacy of the National Parliament The opinion is strongly held In la' bor circles that the Fisher ministry Intend to pass a law granting to the different Australian states an annual sum of about $25,000,000. for 10 years from December next. The Melbourn eight-hour demon' stratlon has been converted by ' the masses into a vast popular rejoicing over the labor triumph at the federal polls. A procession of the different trades, a mile long, numbering 200. 000 persons, passed through' the city cheering all the way., . SHOEMAKER nAS HEART WRONG SIDE OF BODY Milan. Dlno Tacamont, a young shoemaker, living at Pogglbonsl, near Siena, appeared at the latter place a few days ago to undergo medical In spection for military conscription. The dictora In attendance made the as tounding discovery that Dlno has his heart on the right side,, and his liver on the left. . Such a case of situs vlscerum In versus Is very rare. A specialist sum moned to the consultation, however, says that though this right-sided phe nomenon wears his heart on the wrong side there is no reason why he shouldn't be a long-liver, as the di gestive apparatus Is quite normal In Its- action. TacamonI Is to be studied by a commission of physiological experts. RESCCE MAN FROM SCHOOL OF SHARKS New York. The steamer Tocan- tines, a famous vessel which ran the mined harbor at-Port Arthur to es cape from the Russians, swings gracefully at her dock In Brooklyn after a trip from Brazil, bringing a new tale of adventure and rescue. A gold medal won by the captain and presented by the Brazilian gov ernment, commemoated the latest achievement of the little ship the saving of 16 fishermen off the Brazil ian coast on March 22. The first of the 16 men was sighted by the look out before dawn. He was clinging to a plank in the open sea and was wav ing a weak arm to the on-coming ship. A school of sharks swam about him and his rescuers found that his logs had been badly torn by the big fish. The man had been In the water 24 hours and had eaten his last meal : six days before. He had set out from Itlo Janeiro with 15 companions. A squall took away their rigging and left them drift helplessly. All went crazy but this one man and he was compelled to take to the water to es cape his companions' frenzy." After hearing his story, the Tocan- tlnes cruised about for several hours, finally locating the wreck and res cuing the fishermen. FRUIT OUTLOOK IS FAVORABLE IN UNION La Grande, Ore. If Union county can escape heavy frost for another week, the most stupendous crop of fruit ever turned out of this valley will be the result" next fall and scores of orchardlsts will be made rich in a year. The blossoms have matured so rap Idly that If frosts do not visit the val ley within the next few days, the. ap ple will be well formed and when such conditions are reached It requires an extremely heavy frost to do any dam ago td the bloom. The unprecedented load of Immature apples now carried ! on the trees has set orchardiBts Into high spirits. While It. has generally been con ceded that Jonathan apples keep a innir time In Grande Ronde valley, a case of long keeping was discovered this morning by City Water Superln tendent H. C. Glllman, who by acM dent found some Jonathan apples In his collar that had wintered remark ablv well. The fruit was as luscious as It ever was and scarcely a mark of ago was on the skin. Mr. Glllman is elated at the discovery and no one- can tell him without meeting dispute that the Jonathan Is not a good keep er. "Are you going to ask Stravagant to your dinner?" "No; the last time we had him he passed his plate a second time for meat. Knpwn For Its Strength First National Ban!: PEKDLETON. OREGON The CAPITAL, SURPLUS UNDIVIDED PROFITS RESOURCES OVER SECURITY is BITTEN BY A DOG LITTLE DAUGHTER OF FRED KERSHAW IS VICTIM Wound Cauterized and No Serious Sesults Anticipated Eight Grade Students .Take Exams Other News Notes. (Special Correspondence.) Weston, Ore., May 16. Freda, the little six year old daughter of Mr. Fred Kershaw, assistant cashier at the bank, was quite severely bitten on the arm by a dog Friday evening. Dr. Lazier responded promptly to the call and cauterized the wound and the lit tle patient Is doing well and no se rious results are anticipated, though the wound was deep. James Schrimscher of the reserva tion was a business visitor Saturday patronizing Weston's merchants for farm supplies. Master Ray Simpson, formerly a resident of Weston, but now residing with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Simpson, Is up for a short stay with some of his old school mates. Nineteen candidates took the eighth grade examination Friday. They are students from the Weston public school. Mrs. H. G. Walker had charge of the examination. Mrs. Walk er Is also a member of the board of school directors for Weston's public school, and has made a very efficient one which is conceded by all the school patrons. The town was pretty well deserted Saturday owing to the track meet en tertainment taking place at Athena. Apparently every one who was able to get away from business and home affairs was In attendance, C. P. Smith, under the direction of Road Supervisor D. F. Lavender, is making some needed repairs on the Pine creek road above town. The Pine creek road as now maintained is in fine shape, while In the past not mudh In its favor could be said. This road Is traveled by one of the rural carriers on the R. F. D. that starts from Weston and he reports that he has never known the road to be In as 1 fine condition at this time of the year as it is at preset. All of which Is creditable to the road supervisor and the system of roadmaklng and repalr- ng as in vogue In the county at pres ent. A few culverts are needed In some places which we learn are to be placed before the next rainy season sets In. C. P. Graham was unfortunate In endeavoring to lift too heavy a rock and In consequence strained the cords and muscles of his right hand and wrist and Is compelled to carry the same In a sling. This prevents him from further work on the city's rock crusher where he was employed as feeder. WESTERN GIRL SEEKS TO LEARN HER NAME The Los Angeles Times publishes the following special dispatch from Kansas City, reciting the peculiar troubles of a Douglas girl who is try ing to find out her right name so she can change it.. Why the one she Is now going by is not good enough for the "discard" Is not explained. "Miss Louise Haley of .Douglas, Arlz.ona, who has traveled 10,000 miles n search of a name as a preliminary lo her marriage to a wealthy mine operator, thought, for a few minutes today, that she was face to face with her father. News of the search among the records of the old city hos pital, where she was born' In 1875, had reached Philip Smith, an aged carpenter, who lives at No. 22 West Missouri avenue. Siralth's wife left him In Pnola, Kas., In 1S75, and he had been told that a daughter had been born In the city hospital of Kansas City. His wife's sister had married a man named Haley and In weaving together p6sslbllitles he had high hopes that the Arizona woman weuld turn out to be his daughter But the melodramtlc possibility of father and daughter In each other's arms, weeping for "Joy, was not ful filled. Miss Hiley and Smith ex changed reminiscences, mostly vague. for an hour. At the end of the talk both were convinced that this was only another false clew. "All I want to know is my name." she said. "Then I could marry the man I love without hesitation. He lives. In Douglas." i Smith came out of Senora, Mex a few years ago with $7000 In gold, and he has spent all of this in seeking trace of the woman who ran awa from him.

I S450,D00.00 12,000,000.00 BLAC KIIAND MENACE HANGS OVER BERLIN Berlin The Black Hand, which was very active in Hamburg in 1902, has revived Its activities in that city. Wealthy and prominent citizens are Its victims, from whom it demands, by means of threatening letters, big sums of money, with the option of an exposure for real or Imaginary of fenses. In some cases the Black Hand mere, ly demands more money or life In the familiar method of the New York Italian branch. The letters are written on superior paper, with the in signia of the order skull, crossbones and black hand stamped In black. On the information of a wealthy widow, Frau Vieth, - who received eight letters, the police got. onto the gang's track. But they arrived at the meeting place in a wood after the Black Handera had dispersed. The letters are still going around. Spokane, Waah.
