BEN I). Ore., Aug. 25. What may
result in the uncovering of a cattle
rustlers clique, according to offi
cers, was. started yesterday when
sheriff's deputies visited the John
Helfrich ranch, one mlU? southwest
at Brothers, to arrest Varny
(Punk) Robinson and Ralph Wha
ley, charged with stealing a calf.
The complaint was signed by Ken
neth Thompson, Crook county cat
tleman. While seeking the men at the
Helfrich ranch, George Stokoe and
L. -A. W. Nixon, sheriff's deputies,
uncovered what seemed to indicate
au attempt to conceal evidence of
slaughter of cattle. Stokoe return
ed lb Bend for Bearch warrants and
while In town picked up the two
men, Robinson and Whaley, who
are said to have brought in a load
of meat from the high desert
ranch. Having arrested tho men
and lodged them In the county jail.
Stokoe returned to the ranch
where he had left Nixon.
Search of the ranch, which had
been rented by Helfrich to Mrs. M.
McKinley, according to officers, re
vealed a number of hides on which
the brands had been mutilated and
two on which brands while faint
had not been destroyed. These two
were brought to Bend and the cat
tie men to whom they belong were
notified. They live In Crook coun
ty, but until they indicate whether
they will sign complaints against
tho two men, Robinson and Wha
ley, their names are being withheld
by officials.
Although It is so unusual as to
be. an almost unheard of thing for
desert ranchers to bury the en
trails following slaughter. Deputy

pietea an inspection of air stations
on the Pacific coast and In Alas

ment to aid in the development of
commercial aviation had arrived.
He suggested the erection of light
houses along air routes In the in
land and proposed that the govern
ment map out air routes far use in
commercial aviation.
Senator Bingham did not believe
It would be wise to loan the naval
airship Los Angeles for such use
over the continent. He recommend
ed, however, that the airship be
used between the Pacific coast and
Honolulu as an experiment in this
j connection.
Until today the president had

It was stated officially that he

"Jerry," a setter belonging lo
frequent intervals and a maxi
mum grade of 7 per cent Forest
highways are wider and on a grade
of B per cent.
The North umpqua road Is be
ing built 9 feet In width, but the
grade conforms In every way to
highway specifications.
It Is -without doubt one of the
most scenic rouds In the state, bor
dering as it does so closely upon
the North Umpqua river, whose
continuous rapids form many beau
tiful scenes for every mile of the
road. In places the grade is hun
dreds of feet above the tumbling
river, whose frothy, while water
roars and rushes tumultously in
the deep canyons below.
Although the road is narrow, it
Is not dangerous, unless driven
over recklessly. It is designed for
a 11 mile maximum speed, and al
though there are many places
where It is possible to travel safe
ly at a much higher rate of speed,
there are few places where a
speed of II miles an hour la not
possible. The road is very winding,
with many long, sharp turns, but
these have been carefully banked,
and are wide enough to be safe.
The grade Is excellent, consider
ing the extreme roughness of the
country traversed, and for a dirt
road, newly constructed, the sur
face It very good. Of course, the
road cannot be traveled to any ex
tent In the winter, as It is yet un
surfaced. However, during the
summer season It offers a good and
attractive way to the thousands of
beautiful camping apots along the
North Umpqua river, and to a
hunting and fishing district un
equalled In the state.
When the road reaches Steam
boat creek the government's pur
poses will be served. It ia the
government policy to build these
roads for fire protection, and as
long as they are within 20 miles of
the district to be served the road
Is sufficient The forest service,
unaided, has built a road from
Diamond Lake to Big Camas, leav
ing a gap of only 22 miles between
the ends of the new roads.
A fine ranger station la main
tained at Steamboat Creek and an
other at Big Camas. With roads
built to both of these point, where
supplies and men can be mobilis
ed, the government, will not be the
Initiator nf further construction
work on the road, consequently It
remains the duty of Interested com
munities to see that the project
Is not dropped, but that the com
pletion of the road Is made only a
matter of time.
Step must be taken to hold out
before the government bureaus and
stste and county organizations the
great commercial value of the
road and the reasons wby It should
not be dropped. It will require or
ganised and active effort to secure
the completion of the remaining 22
miles, and much harder work than
ha been undertaken In the past.
When completed this North
t'mpqua section will link up with
the roast road to Ileedaport, giving
Dougla county an1 east and west

the United Bute Department of
Agriculture now pays federal In
demnity for tuberculosis stock only
after the premises have been prop
erly disinfected. This Is a new
ruling based on an Intepretatlon of
federal laws and regulations and on
many of the state laws. A thorough
clean up Is necessary, of course,
before disinfection can be proper
ly performed.
The ruling Is expected to be
helpful In reducing the number of
reactors found on retests of Infect
ed herds. Unless disinfection Is
promptly and thoroughly done fol
lowing the removal of tuberculosis
cattle from a farm, there Is seri

Such a practice I contrary to good
