Inert ased amounts of mill feeds may be looked for as a result of now order- lor flour to be placed with the mills of the northwest. Only temporary relief Is In sight from these new orders, and it is while the by products supplies last that the Ml i iik ot wholesale orders Is certain. After the mill feed for the pre sent orders are taken this source of winter stock feeds may be closed for tome time. Stockmen will in that event be forced to turn largely to barley in accordance with the re- j commendations of the federal food administration. The barley supply N limited and with the heavy demand pries are likely to go to the sky, ni.ee they are not under government regulation. Although barley is quoted in Portland markets at $65 a ton, it owes much higher to retail bik- ihii -r in country towns. The Agri cultural College department of mini,. husbandry got Its supply at I.'. 4 ,i ton, carlots, laid down at torvallls. Asked how, E. J. PJeld- iled replied: 'We notified Portland dealers hat we would receive ami let bids at certain day and hour, and notify lliein n tin- same day. Amount and lar' of delivery were stated.

Geary, making a trip to Crane last Tuesday to Investigate (he pos sibility of there being cases of Span ish influenza, and reported that there were such rases, a general closing down of things followed. At noon Wednesday Mayor Mothershoad put a ban on all public gatherings of any kind, closed the schools, churches, lodges, picture house anil other such public places until further notice. This was done with the approval of the county health officer and on the advice of other doctors. There has not been a case In Burns so far and it Is hoped to stamp out the contagion in the county by closing the schools and taking every precaution against the possible spread. The teachers of Harney county had gathered for the annual institute on that day and at noon this was ad journed Indefinitely in keeping with the order of the authorities. The Red Cross election which was to have taken place on Wednesday evening was colled off. In fact thM was the first thing to be called off. Chairman Dr. Griffith considered It the proper example to set, since-the Red Crosas is an institution of first aid In such an emergency. He has placed the equipment and facilities of the organisation at the disposal of the county health officer should oc casion require Its services.

HARNEY COUNTY, I II Ml lllll TW VICTIMH OK THE SPANISH IM'l.t ENZA DIE AT CRANE Walter Gray and his wife are dead at Crane as a result of contracting the Spanish Influents. They came up from Bilverton last week to attend the funeral of Robert Hetns, the soldier boy who had died from the epidemic at Camp Lewis and was brought home for Interment. Mrs. Gray was a sister to the dead sol dier. There- are several more eases in Crane and every precaution should be taken to keep It from spreading. It was not realised before it was al lowed to spread at Carne. Other members of tbe'Heins and Gray fami lies are very ill from the Influence and Sidney McNeil and wife and child are also very sick. The eituetlon at Crane Is reported as pitiful by those who know it. They have no doctor and there are no trained nurses to be hed therefore the cases are not being given proper attention, not from choice but because it is impossible to get help. S.l EitKRAI T IS IN SKASON. Attempts have been made to keep popular the tasteful and popular dish of sauerkraut by changing the name lo Liberty cabbage. But if the rose will smell as sweet by rny other name, so will sauerkraut taste as food to many people whether its name he changed or not. The essential points to make good kraui are the use of mature, sound cabbage, scrupulous cleanliness through-out the process, and proper care of the surface of the brine after fermentation Is completed. In making sauerkraut for home purposes the outer green leaves of the cabbage should be removed. Just as In preparing Hie head for boiling. In addition, all decayed or bruised leaves should he discarded and the core removed. If an Instrument for this purpose Is not available, it is advisable to quarter the heads and slice off the part of the core remain 4iui j)U vaxl iiparler. The cabbage should lie shredded by one ot I In hand' shredding machine sold upon (ha market for such purposes, or, If on.- is not available, the heads may ! . ut Into thin slices with a slaw cottar or a large knife. Tlie shredded cabbage should be peeked Immediately Into u perfectly! clean, water tight receptacle, mich as ,i c.-, let- or wine narrei. Keg, or iuo. As it is packed Into the receptacle add salt in the proportion of 1 pound of suit to 4d pounds of cabbage, dis tributing ii evenly througtoul the cabbage Experiments have shown i hat approximately 2 pounds of shredded cabbage give the best flavor to the resulting kraut. When the barrel or crock il nearly full, the cuhhage should he preened down as firmly as possible and cover ed with a clean board cover. It Is advisable, but aol ecceetlal that ciean cloth be plut ed over the cab hage before the cover Is put into place. Tile salt soon extracts a con siderable amount of the cabbage juice from the cabbagt . anil a uuffi Clenl weight of clean brick or stone should he added lo cause the brine to rise up lo the wooden cover. Set the contain Iff aside until fernienta lion is complete anil skim off any scum that forms.

OCTOBER 26, 14318 Msmaaawjcil III I HimTlKHl PARTY MARRED BY DWTRMSHINO A:il)ENT, An auto party of duck and goose hunters came over from Bend last Saturday for a short turn with the water fowl of this region. They stopped at the OO Ranch Saturday night end early Sunday morning. Joseph. B. Lemarsh, one of the party, started to teke his gun from an auto when It was discharged, the shot shattered his arm in such a manner that it was necesasry to amputate it above the elbow. This was done by Dr. Smith Sunday forenoon at the Haines, hoepltal and the patient Is reporHp recovering rapidly. We undcrefnnd Mr. Lamarsh Is employed at one of the big mills In Bend. His wife eatne over ae soon as she was informed ef the accident and has since been with him. ' "tff" TKLL VS SOME MORE. A member of the senete committee on foreign relations has spoken with extreme frankness on the subject of Germany's answer to the president's questions regarding Prince Maximi lian's peace proposals. He said in part: "The great trouble with the acceptance of the president's address, leaving the de tails to be settled. Is that the de tails are the whole question. There Is not a word In the address of Jan. 8, or la any subsequent address which demands reparation. All the allies, and particularly Prance and England, through Clemenceau and Lloyd George, have declared again and again that the terms of peace must contain both restitution and re paration." We may take it that the subject of reparation was contained by Im plication In the presidents words, and a rational mind can read them there; but we can he confident that Berlin will construe them dlffre ently. The retreating German armies were engaged In orgies of destruc tion while the proposals were under consiU, . ,-atlou, but the devastation ' was of little military Importance. It Indicated sheer wantonueos and malignity. If the Germans r,.uly contemplat ed paving the bill they would cer tainly not add to the debt by Indis criminate demolition. They would demolish only what the allied armies could use. It Is evident that they have Intentionally left Hie -object of reparation to dlscucclon, and during the weeks or mouths occupied by such :i discussion they could add substantially to their waning re i our ooo Senator Hitchcock, chairman of the foreign relations committee, has even refused to believe that lTlnc.) Maximilian repreeents the people at all. And as we have nobody's word but Maximilian's we can hardly bluiue him, during the war between Turkey and the llalkun States an armistice was tie. -hired, unil delegates met In London at Sir Edward Orey's Invita tion They labored for several weeks to reach an understanding, and then the belligerents went at each other again with redoubled vigor. If. therefore, we do actually see de legates assembled at a conference laid.- it will be well not to expect too much from die deliberations. o RECIPI-: Hill WAR KVRt P Now, while there Is need for sav ing sugar, the following recipe for war syrup will prove acceptable and valuable to those who enjoy hot "likes Hot cakes should he encour iged because the flapjacks Hit; Yankees are so fond of are great .'.loal savers.

H. Scheffer of the Depart ment of Agriculture, spent several hours In Vale Thursday, as a result of communications with Arthur Means regarding the extermination of rab bits and coyotes. Mr. Schoffer arranged with Judge McKnlght to call a general meeting I about the middle of December at which time he would return and as sist in preparing a campaign for the 'extermination of these pests which j annually cost this county thousands and, thousands of dollars. Mr. (chaffer stated that If the county court appropriated the $5000 as Is now under consideration that It would be ample with proper co operation with the farmers that both tbe rabbits and coyotes would be re duced to a minimum in this county for years. Mr. Cchaffer was fn Idaho looking after similar conditions. He covers a large territory. The government realises the great loss to the farmers ! and Is giving special attention to secure concerted action that this food and feed may be concerved. Vale Enterprise. o TOO MUCH GRAZING INJURIOUS. ..-v......,-.. ,. f. -ii.... i-lilfl Inlnrmi EiAicnnnc .iBbiiiB, ,. , ,. j -. . . the vegetative cover, will frequently permit erosion to get a start on the range, and valuable pasturage will be changed by the elements to barren land, according to Bulletin 675, "Range Preservation and Its Hela-1 Hon to Erosion Control on Western Grazing Lands," recently publixhed by tbe lulled States Department of Agriculture. It is a case of killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. While top ography, climate, and soil are factors in determining erosion, the BOniMnsV tlon of these factors with the vegeta-n- growth is such that ero.don is 4Ighl where the natural -onditien: have not been disturbed, ami may be made serious by any Influence- which upsets the balance established by nature. Numerous lnstaucej a-Qon record where serious ero.don was unknown! until the ground cover was largely destroyed, and In leoaflttee where destroyed vegetation has been reestablished serious erosion bus Stopped, The reestublishnient of veg etation, the bulletin points out Is ex tremely difficult. The importance of preserving iho upper few inches on tho high ranges and with it Hie vegetative cover, in order to regulate the stream flow, to maintain indefinitely the forage cover for grazing, and Incidentally to prevent destructive erosion la not always fully appreciated by the stock man uud farmer. The farmer stock man tan not afford lo do without feed from the range. The temporary larger prolits thai inighl be derived from overgrazing would soon he ol'f- .1 by the loss of the source of teed supply which would result. Three or four seasons of excessive ly heeve grazing on a watershed will usually give Hie elements a chance to sturt their destructive work. Krosiou. with Its rush of water and debris, frequently ruins the laud where the debris Is deposited and puts out of commission roads, trails, power plants, and other Improvements. In many localities loss of property from this source has been appalling. The preventive measures given in the bulletin are deferred and rotation grazing, artificial seeding (in choice sites onlv), and proper control ami distribution of stock. Where the depletion of the soil anil the fornin llon of long-established gullies make thorough revetntlon Impossible, de structlve floods and erosion iiiav b. controlled by the total exclusion of stock, by terracing and planting. and by the ooactructlon of dama. Much more than half the buttle ot preserving range is preventing erosion from getting started. Where It has full play for a number ol years the lltlempted reesliihllshllienl of Hie ground cover. o.n though grazing adequate results, in such Instances, is discontinued, does not always give which fortunately are i datively rare In such country, extreme measures, such as the combination of terracing and planting, or, ill exceptional cases, the construction of dams are just ified. o Secretary M.-Adoo has had time to run Hie Tr.-us try uud the railroads and speak for Hie Fourth Liberty loan loo.

S. Saurman, In charge of navy recruiting throughout the Spokane district for several months in 1917. This Is learned In letters just received by local friends of the officer. Simultaneous with his promotion to new honors and responsibilities al the naval operating base, wielding jurisdiction over the states of Mary land, Virginia, West Virginia and North Carolina, Including about 25, 000 men of the navy, Saurman has been recommended for advancement to the rank of lieutenant commodore, equivalent to tbe rank of major In the army. Saurman, who left the comparative calm of the inland recruiter's life about the first of this year, now wears the gold "V" on the stripes of his left sleeve symbolizing that he has seen the service and has been under fire. On his first trip across the sea us the medical officer of a great Ameri can transport, shortly after bei.g called away from his recruit! .g duties. Saurman's ship was attacked by a German submarine, but manag ed to dodge the Hun torpedoes, while two adjacent ships were hit. On his second "cruise," his ship was damaged in a collision and on the third trip across the "brtney," it bad a running gun right with an other German "sub". While stationed at Spokane, Sur geon Saurman served through fie height of the campaign for men, sending hundreds Of Inland Empire boys into the navy; dire, ling the l r ganlzatlon of the Spokane navy bend li:i Ii entered the service as an in tact unit, and kept Spokane in Hie lead of nearly all cities of the west in the number of recruit- for naval - r v.
