Fraudulent Mineral Waters Are Offered The United States department of agriculture, through the bureau of chemistry, has issued the following warning to the public in regard to the so-railed radioactive mineral waters offered for sale in bottles: There are indications of the begin ning of an attempt to perpetrate a great fraud on the American people through advertising certain mineral waters as po-.LSt.ing radioactivity. The waters, in some cases, are taken from springs ;the waters of which as they come from the ground do possess certain radioactive properties. Ex amination of many of these waters by the department's specialists indicates that whatever radioactivity they pos sess at the spring is due almost entire ly to radium emanation rather than to the presence in the water of any sub stance possessing radioactivity. These emanations in the form o? gas quickly disappear from the water and as a re sult, after the water has been bottled a short time, it will possess practical ly no radioactivity. The belief long held by many people that some miner al waters used at the springs are more effective than when bottled has been explained by some authorities on the ground that the beneficial elTect of these waters is due to radioactivity. As the radioactivity disappears soon after the water is taken from the spring, any effect due to the radioac tivity must be lost in a short time. If the radioactivity of a water in a spring is 100, four days after bottling it will be only 60, and 12 days after bottling 10. In a month it will be practically r.othing compared with the original radioactivity of the water at the spring. The public, therefore, is warned to regard with suspicion any water advertised as possessing radio activity. As far as the government's specialists have been able to ascertain, no bottled water, no matter how radio active it may have been at the spring, retains this radioactivity for any length of time. GOV. BLEASE SETS FREE ONE HUNDRED CONVICTS Columbia, S. C. One hundred con victs at the state penitentiary and on chain gangs throughout the state were released Nov. 26 by Gov. Blease. The number includes 26 convicted of mur der and 26 convicted of manslaughter. Full pardon was granted to one, an other's sentence was commuted and the others were paroled during good behavior. Governor Blease said the convicts were granted clemency that they "might eat their Thanksgiving din ners at home with their loved ones." Blease has released 900 convicts in three years. College Giant IJreaks Record for Strength Philadelphia MikeDorizas, a Greek athlete who is t sophomore at the Un iversity of Pennsylvania, is the strongest man the college world has ever known and his record made in the test room et Franklin Field exceeds by 500 points that of the strongest man in any other college. Dorizas speaks four languages fluently; he understands three others fairly well and can make his way in two others. He weighs 250 pounds and is as lithe as a panther. His strength record, that has not been ap proached by any other rival, is: Age, 24 years; total strength test, 1774, world's record; legs, 680 kilograms; back, 370 kilograms; arm flexors, 350 kilograms; arm extensors, 350 kilo grams; grip, right 68, left 53; chest, 44 inches; calf, 18 inches; neck, 19 inches. Firing Squads Kill More Than Hattle El Paso, Tex. One hundred and eighty-four wounded men are in the Juarez hospitals as a result of the un- successful federal attack upon Juarez. I Pancho Villa is also back in Juarez, j with six thousand rebel troops. Villa ' captured several federal field pieces and several cars. This is apparent to i anyone who saw his army go out the j other day and then come back. Horses 'dragged back 15 field pieces, five were i on the train that brought the rebel I leader himself and five more were j brought in on the train that Villa left on the field in charge of the burial squad,. Villa had only nine guns ; when he went out. I Villa said that he captured 500 fed j erals. He brought fewer than 200 to Juarez. He admits executing some of them. Apparently the greatest num- ber of dead as a result of the fighting j are those who faced the firing squad. 40-Foot Channel it Aim. Washigtonn, D. C. Senator Lane is preparing to introduce a resolution directing the army engineers to pre pare plans and estimates for a project looking to the construction of a 40 foot channel in the Willamette and Columbia rivers from Portland to the sea. As a part of this plan the en gineers will be requested to plan for a series of revetments which, confining the channel, will at the same time hold in check material dredged from the channel and deposited behind the bulwarks. Nut Rlight Kill Man. Glastonbury, Con. Another death, attributed to the chestnut blight, the fifth in the state this fall from that cause, occurred here Thursday. Ever ett Hale, 30 years old, was taken ill after eating a gray squirrel. The at tending physicain gave the cause of death as ptomaine poisoning, due to blighted chestnuts which the squirrel had eaten. Winter Short Prepared Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis The winter short course of the Oregon Agricultural college holds its eighteenth annual session from Jan uary 5 to 31, 1914. Over dozen courses of study will be offered. While the greater number of courses will be in agriculture, as usual, there will be courses in domestic science and art, in economics, commercial meth ods, both rural and metropolitan, and in such engineering work as can be adapted to short course purposes car pentry, blacksmithing and road con struction. The winter short courses are de signed to give practical and scientific instruction to those farmers, or stu dents of farming, who cannot devote their time to a full college course, but who aspire to keep abreast of the best thought and practice in the profession. The courses are based on the newest developments in agricultural science; they are distinctly practical, and are within the comprehension of all thoughtful people. They are offered in midwinter in order to be of service to the largest number of actual farm erspractical, busy people who find time at this season, if ever, to take stock of their intellectual capital as well as of their good and chattels. Can 1 afford it? This is the first question we ask ourselves as we con template any enterprise outside the routine of our settled tasks. Can 1 afford it for myself, for my boy, for my wife, or for my daughter? Re turns this year are small, we say; the farm has't yielded the profit it ought to yield. Another season, perhaps . Our neighbor goes from year to year, to be sure, but he is prosperous. So? Perhaps there's a reason for that. Perhaps, after all, there's economy in going, not staying. Per haps we need ideas, confidence, en- Oregon Hotels Show Best Sanitary Conditions The latest bulletin published by Commissioner Mickle, of the Oregon Dairy and Food commission, shows unsatisfactory sanitary conditions in many of the hotels, restaurants, mar kets, slaughter-houses, bakeries and candy factories which - were visited by the inspectors of the commission out side of Portland. The commissioner's report shows that 87 hotels and restaurants were visited in various towns throughout the state, the average score of which was 63 points; 77 markets and slaughter-houses were visited, with an aver- Farmers Gravel Roads At Individual Expense Monmouth As a result of move ments by Commercial clubs of the county ai d inhabitants of rural dis tricts for better roads, many miles of public highways in Polk county are ready for winter use by automobiles. United efforts by everyone interested have resulted in tho present high standard. Thousands of wagon loads of yellow "slough gravel" were hauled in the Dallas, Independence, Mon mouth ar.d Kirkreall districts, anil it is believed that this was the best move made. Continual traffic for nearly two years has put the Dads in a condition unsurpassed by any in the valley. This material la very different from that gotten from the river beds, con taining much cement. One of the leading' factors in the movement for better roads has been the automobile owner, who in many cases in the farming district has graveled and graded roads from his place to the place he travels most fre quently. In this way expense which would have gone to the county, or not have existed, has been borne by indi viduals. Some of the roads so im proved by the co-operation of farmers with the county are: Ituena Vista to Airlie; Independence to Salem, Buena Vista and Monmouth; Monmouth to Rickreall, Huena Vista, Airlie, Falls City, Dallas; Kickreall to Salem, Dal las; Dallas to Perrydale, Falls City. During July, this summer, automo bile traffic is believed to have been the heaviest ever known in the coun try. Tourists from many sections of the state were attracted by Polk coun ty's smooth, wide and hard roads. The roads from Dallas to Salem through Kickreall and from Indepen dence to Salem are said to be the two best highways in tho county. Pioneers of '50s Imitated. Paker Like the pioneers of the early '50s, T. P. Towle, of Cold Springs, S. I)., crossti the plains and mountains with two "prairie schoon ers," brought his wife and grandchild with him, and came to Oregon to wrest a living from the Maker valley. The trip, which began in June this year, was halted temporarily when Mr. Towle's wagons and eight horses reached Vale. There Mrs. Towle came on to Baker by train to visit her uncle, and, taken with the prospects of the country, she sent for her husband. Oakland Children Send Turkey. Oakland The Oakland school child ren donated two dozen jars of fruit, a large turkey and 13.50 in money to wards Thanksgiving cheer for the Boys' and Girls' Aid society of Portland. Course Is By O. A. C. mi BtimuUtintr out Vll'ini"- " " look. Perhaps both ourselves and our crops need rotation. Perhaps the boy, as well as the "young stock." needs a change of pasture. Perhaps we need a litte science along with our endless practice. Compared to the returns, the money cost ia slight. Hundreds of letters from short course students bear testi mony to the fact that the courses, within a year, produced in money re turns many times their cost. Indeed, the cost of this valuable outing, essen tially an investment, ia much less than the usual city wage-earner spends on his summer vacation. Much less in cost, and much more satisfying in re sults. Can we afford to make the In vestment? Rather, can we afford not to make it, in view of the testi mony of others who have tried it in view of the increasing interest in it from year to year, and in view of the exacting demands of present-day agri culture? The courses are open to any person sixteen years of age or over. There are no entrance examinations, and tuition is free. A fee of one dollar is charged for enrollment, however, and a small laboratory fee is charged in some courses to cover the cost of ma terial used. Excursion rates are offered by all the railroads in Oregon, the usual one and one-third fare for the round trip, on the certificate plan. In coming to Corvallis, buy a full fare ticket, se curing a receipt from the selling agent; after having your receipt vali date! at the college, present this to the ticket agent in buying your return ticket, paying one-third of the regular fare. The sale dates for the winter short course are from January 3 to 24, in clusive; return limit, January 21 to February 3, Inclusive. .... ..

The commissioner comments on the poor showing of the : candy factories, and he says there is ; room for improvement in those which were inspected. ! He says that the score card does not I express it all; that there are some things beyond the realm of mathema i tics, and there are some plants so clean that it is difficult to" give the operator the credit that is justly due, but, on pie other hand, there ure some ' so filthy that it ia difficult under the i Oregon law to deal with them as they deserve. Warehouse Company's Bondsmen Are Sued Albany To compel the payment of the $15,000 bond given for the pro tection of its customers by the Albany Farmers' company is the purose of a suit which will go to trial here before Judge Galloway unless settled out of court.

One carload went from F.u 1 gene and two from Creswell, direct to New York, and one was shipped from ! Junction City to California. The ap ! pies sent East arc selling at more than $2 a box. out of which CO cents a box goes for freight, r . Danish Colony to Pasteurize Milk. Eugene A plant for the pasteuriz ing of milk, the first in Eugene, will ; be opened early in December by a cor I poration formed by five men, four of i whom are Danes, and the project is j backed by over 40 Danes of the colony j west of Eugene. It is proposed to in ' stall in Eugene a plant large enough ! to pasteurize 2000 pounds of milk an I hour. The incorporators of the new i enterprise are II. C. Bratton, formerly of Huntington, Pa.; U N,. Bertelson, B. Peterson, R Hulegaard and Ole Nikkelson. Music Credited in Pendleton. Pendleton School credits counting toward graduation are to be granted for music lessons taken from accredit ed teachers outside of school. This was the announcement made byCity Superintendent Landers, and hereafter music will be considered as a part of a Pendleton girl's education. One credit semester is the maximum allowed. This can be earned either by two les sons week and one hour daily prac tice or vice versa. County Ships ll.SOO Turkeys. Roseburg When the final consign ments of turkeys were loaded on the cars here for the Thanksgiving mar kets, ft was found that Douglas coun ty had furnished approximately 11,600 birds for the trade. Figures obtained from Oakland fix the number of tur keys shipped from that town at 6000. An additional fiOOO birds were shipped from Koseburg and other Southern Oregon towns.
