Decisian Rendered in .Water Rights Case After nearly two years of wait ing the decision in the famous contest between the Portland Ir rigation Co., a subsidary of the Northwest Towntite Company and the Chewaucan Land and Cattle Co., was decided by the Desert land board at their reg ular meeting last Thursday in favor of the Irrigation company, says the Chewaucan Press. Ac- cording to newspaper accounts both wster users were allowed two acre-feet This is three-feet less than the cattle company asked. The five or six thousand Seres of privately owned lands lying just beiow Paisley were given three acre-feet There is little doubt that the decision will be contested by the Chewaucan Land and Cattle Co. But at the State Land Board has never had a decision reversed there is little liklihood that there will be any change in the present contest The wster rights to the Che waucan River has gone through a long contest and the patience of many has been sorely tried by the long delay but now that the decision has been rendered there is a general rejoicing that it ia so just to all parties concerned. Money in Good Name. A Portland man has been offer ed a quarter of a million dollars : for his dairy and condensed milk trade-mark. This was pointed out by Dean J. A. Bexell. of the 0. A. C. School of Commerce, in speaking of the value of a suit able distinguishing nsme for a farm. He thinks that every farmer should select an attractive name that may also serve aa a trade-mark for his products, By keeping his goods up to the stand ard indicated by the trade-mark and then by advertising them where he expects them to be sold he will be able to dispose of most his surplus at good prices and fair profits. The trade-mark should also be printed on his farm business stationery. To O.. Public.

REFUGES FOR PROPA GATION OF WILD GAME State Biologist Finley Among Those In dorsing Plan Urged by William T. Hornaday, Zoologist and Author, Of LaWS for Protection Of Animals. Some Are Becoming Quite Scarce While State Biologist Finley and others are considered fana tics by a great many people in their advocacy of game refuges, it is u fact, nevertheless, that our game is not nearly so plenti ful as in even very recent yean. The local hunter complains of r - strictions that are enforced in this vicinity and the hunter of another section reaps tho benefit of our restraint. This is true in a way and yet if the matter is property handled, which it must be as soon as conditions are un derstood and proper steps taken, the proposition of protecting game is going to meet with gen eral approval. As an intstance: Game War- den Triska has been instructed to go into the Steins Mountain section to sec if he can find any mountain sheep. It hasn't been many years since there WOTS sev- eral of these in that section but they are mre now. if any at all can be found. The antelope is fast disappearing too, n the Sunday Oregonion there was published an illustrated article that is most interesting and instructive. It ssys in part: Confidence in the plan of game refuges throughout the state for the propogation of wild anhnala, as proposed by William T. Hornu- day. zoologist author and origina- tor of laws, for tho protection of fish and game, a visitor of the industrial interests. All that is I proportion to their numbers, past week, is expressed by Ore-j needed is a safe and same law, I than the business man or nleas gon men interested in this ui- i honesty enforced, and a little pa-1 ure seeker from the city. ject. William L. Finley, State Biologist, is warm in his indors- mmt of the project. 'Oregon is lacking in big game' of many species, " said Mr. Finley "We have for example, a fewj antelope left in this state. There 1 Walter M. Pierce, Union Coun used to be a plenty of gatebfM ty farmer and stock-raiser mem in Eastern Orrgon. There are a her 0 the Boarci uf Regents of few left in Crook.

"We had at one time quite a number of mountain sheep in this state, but you will look a long time before you will find one. In the Stien and Warner Mountains in Southeastern Ore gon and in the northeastern part of the state along the Snake they used to be plentiful. There are a few left, it is believed. I have however, searched for three years to find sheep in the Warner and Stein Mountains without success "About the same story is being written of the muletail deer.

This plnn will' not intercr with sheep and cattle raising. "The Fish and Came Commis- sion is going to try to work in harmony with the Forestry I )e- partment in getting the plan schemed out. We hotic very great results from it if it can be developed as we hope to do." I r. Hornoday elucidated his plan while in Portland. Hesaid: "Millions of acres of National forests are utterly destitute of game worthy of mention. Over thousands of square miles in the West and the East you can now hunt till doomsday without find- 'tig a four-footed animal worth shooting as food. Vast oppor- (unities to create a great annual supply of big game are being wasted by lack of intelligent and resolute action. "The plan we espouse proposes an enormous increase of game that may legitimately be killed for food purposes. This can be 'secured without loss to any other tience in waiting for results fall Calves Are Best For Early Beef fall calves instead of spring calv es with very good success. His plan of handling these calves is to have them dropped along a bout November. The cows are placed in covered sheds and fed all the alfalfa hay that they will consume until! the following spring. During this time the calf is so small that it will not eat grass if there is any, and it alsoi has the advantage of being kept indoors during the winter time. About the first of April, the cow with her young calf is turn- j out on the mountain ranges. Here, due to the green grass, j the milk flow of the cow is very much increased. The calf now being a few months old will be , able to handle this increase with out difficulty. The oalf runs on h rnm ....til ..t..f n. AMt ... ! new mown meadows or alfala or clover pastures. In this manner the calf avoids I the: shortage of pasture during I the drier months of the summer. ' j Also the calf is weaned at a time when the cow will dry up much more quickly when put back into the mountains on the dry feed. From the alfalfa pasture or tho, ; meadows the valves are turned into the iituhble fields and allow ed to run there until late in the fall when they are put into Iota and fed all the alfalfa hay they will eat. Most of them are sold I at from 12 to 16 months of age. This method of handling calv. es. Mr. Pierce thinks, has many advantage. First, the calf aomea during the time uf year when the cow. will not give an over supply of milk, due to not having green grass; but on good alfalfa hay will give an abundance for all present needs. Then when the cow is turned on the green pasture in the spring time the milk flow is increased but the calf is large enough at this time to handle it all to a very good ad vantage. Another thing. Wean ing the calves coming about th first of July, the dry pasture is avoided when the calves really do make as good gains as at other times of the year. It is also pos sible to market the cattle at an earlier ajfc, due to good care and feed. As Mr. Pierce says, "The fall calf never stops growing, and can be gotten to a butcher a good deal more miieldv and ehpunlv ihan can the spring calf." a i fine bunch of these calves was to "n at Mr. Pierce's place last July. They hsd just been wesn- . nd he had refused 35.oo per head from the local butchers. The advantage of the fall calf over the spring calf are many, and no doubt in time raising fall calves will become very popular among the stock raisers of East-1 ern Oregon. Farmers and Good Roads. One of the principal reasons why there is certain to be much greater interest shown by all 'kinds of people in the construe - ; tion of good roads is the constant- ly increasing general use of the automobile. Users of motor cars have from the first been leaders ' in boosting for better roads, but I for a long time there was a feel- ing by a good many people, par ticularly fanners, that automo biles were for the pleasure of the tourist, and that these were a comparatively small number of the population. Thus there was a prejudice against the automo bile and suspicion directed against the boosting which auto enthusi asts did for casy-to-travel high ways. This is changing rapidly. I're- ijudice against the automobile has J almost entirely disappeared. This is because the gas machine has become so common, and because it is looked upon as a necessity where formerly it waa classed j entirely as a luxury for the few. Furthermore farmers are now I greater users of automobiles in The farmer has become more of an enthusiastic good roads ! man with using his machine on I the hard surfaced highways which lead to tho cities. But iwnattne larmer neeos most is , not a system of highways parallel id inu rauroaus, uui ruiner goou 'roads running from the town ' back into the country so that I ! country produce can be easily j and cheaply transported to mar ket centers. Ontario Argus. The Festive Farmer. "Farm life is an ideal life," says Zim, in Cartoons magazine, "especially in the story books and upon the theatre stage. The farmer is his own boss and monarch of ail the acres that are not plastered with mortgages He arises with the birds, hits up the hard cider in the cellar, then hies him thither to toy with the cattle, for milking at four a m is one of the joys of farm life. From the milking stool he wends his way to the woodpile and glee fully chops up a cord or two be fore the breakfast call.

Moseley, who had been in the 1 employ of Chip Smith and his partner in their sheep camp over near Diamond, came in on the ! stage that afternoon to attend to I some land business but upon I leaving Diamond a traveling companion nrocured a bottle of whiskey and the young man im bibed quite freely on the way over. He had a 32 calibre auto matic pistol that seemed to give him additional courage along with the liquor and he waa quite handy with the gun on the way over, giving his fellow passeng ers some uneasiness on account! of the reckless manner in which ' he handled it. Upon arriving in town be was considerably under the influence of the liquor and he required a wide track to navigate. His con dition attracted the attention of the marshal who went to him and asked him to get oh the street and go to bed but Moseley stated he had business with Chip Smith and the marshal accompa nied him to the meat market but upon their arrival the fellow said he didn't want to see Mr. Smith at all and the marshal in vited him to go with him then. The man resisted and when taken hold of by the marshal he either j pU8hed or struck him and the 'officer aim08t lost his balance and Mi Upon recovering he started to pull his "billy" when the drunken man drew his revol ver and told the marshal not to touch him or he would shoot him.
