Newspaper Page TextMONDAY, MARCH 23, 1914. LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER .PAGE THREE ! I HE E INDICATIONS POINT TO RECORD BREAKER. Drop in Temperature Today Will Save Much Fruit is Belief. Cove, Ore., March 23. (Special.) All crops are going to be unusually large on this side of the valley. The following figures are the estimates: One hundred cars of cherries, 80 cars cf prunes, 200 cars of apples, several thousand crates of berries. Today's drop in temperature will po far towards preventing spring frost damage. Fruit tree buds were rapidly nearing a point where frost would do serious damage, the pro tracted warm weather of March and February driving trees into spring life prematurely. H. W. Collins of the Collins Ware house Co., and local grainbuyers for the Balfour, Guthrie Co., says he has approximately one hundred and thirty thousand sacks of wheat in storage in his warehouses, practically all of which is sold and being held for fu ture delivery, relates the Pendleton East Oregonian. It goes on to say that Mr. Collins was in Portland lust week and saw the big fire in which so large an amount of grain was ruind and damaged. When asked his opin ion in regard to the effect that it may have on the present price he says that although a large amount was totally destroyed there will be much of it that will be salvaged for different pur poses and saved to a more or less ex tent. He does not anticipate that it will effect the market price at all noticeably but does believe that it will serve to strengthen the market. There is now some demand for range cattle in Eastern Oregon. Stock men in this county and elsewhere are seeking cows and calves, yearlings and two-year-olds for use on the sum mer ranges this year." C. 0. Rags dale of Joseph, Wallowa county, was here a few days ago looking for such stock for use on his ranges. The price being paid for mixed range cat tle is around $60 per head. William Pollman, big Baker county stockman and president of the association that met here Tuesday, recently sold 300 head of range stock to Montana inter ests at ?00 per head. MARKET QUOTATIONS ?

Another 80,000 acres of government land has been designated by the gen eral land board at Washington, D. C, for settlement. Much of this land has been homesteaded, but there are many tracts available under the semi-arid entry laws and where a.person has 160 acres of this land and has not made final proof on the same he is entitled to increase his holdings to 320. It will likewise bo interesting to ob serve that where proof is made and the final certificate issued on the land tefore the first of March of 1914, such land is subject to assessment this year and the tax collectible in 1915. If final proof is made and certificate is issued after the 1st of March, such land is not assessable until. 1915 and the tax not collectible until 1916. The local land office is swamped with work owing to the numerous requests that are coming in regard to tracts and homesteading. Where the writer does not send the ' proper information, that is does not wit tne mno. omciais wnere tne tana lies which he seeks to secure through nomesteaaing, wnere ne does not tell them in which section and township, they stand little chance of getting what they want, because the official cannot keep In his memory all of the tracts that are available for home steading nor does he know where to go when a man wants information. FANNING THE SAILS No Amount of Wind Raised Aboard a Ship Can Propel It. CONTRARY TO NATURAL LAW. A a Matter of Fact, the Force of the Air Driven Against the Canvas Would Have a Tendency to Send the Vessel Backward Instead of Forward. "If mi electric fan could he made large enough to throw a suliicleut nmoiint of wind to move n small snll- boat and such a tan was placed on th end ot a boat with the wind from the ! fan blowiug against the sail ou the very boat the fan Is ou, Is It possible that it could move the boat? The ar gument is tin t thu fan. being on the same boat us the sail, cannot move Itself. Hut as I lie air detaches Itself from the fan and hits the sail, uiy Idea Is that it van, provided it has the strength to move the boat. Please give an answer." This question Is worth answering be cHUse it luvulves a principle of physics that ought to be universally under stood and Ignorauce of which may lead to the waste of both time ami money upon Inventions that will not work. The writer ot the question thinks that because the air, as she expresses It, Is "detached from" the fan when It starts off to strike the sail. It ought to act like uu ordinary wind and push the boat before It. But she would not think so If she reflected that the particles oi air driven from the fau resemble a Bwurin of bullets shot from u gun. The air particles get their force from the Ian as the bullets get theirs from the gun, and just us the guu recoils with a force equal to that which It 111) parts to the bullets, so the fan, wheth er driven by electricity or steam ot turned by hand, inevitably recoils with the same amount of force that it liu parts to the air. To make clearer the comparison be tweeu a stream of bullets from a gun and a stream of wind from an electric fan, Imagine a Maxim gun placed at the rear of a boat and an impenetrable target at the front, and then suppose that the gun should burl a continuous current of bullets against the target Anybody can see that the boat would not be driven forward, because the recoil of the gun would constantly force It backward with the same energy with wblcb the bullets, striking the target, forced It ahead. Hut If the gun were placed on shore or on another support its stream of bullets striking the target would drive the boat forward, because then their effect would be like that of a wind blowing freely across the water aud nav having no connection with anything on tMnL An ordinary wind Is able to drive a boat. whose snll.

Anderson Co. To the Housewife. Madam, if your husband is like most men he expects yon to look after the health of yourself and children. Coughs and colds are the most common of the minor ailments and are most likely to lead to serious disease. A child is much more likely to contract diph theria or scarlet fever when it has n cold. If you will inquire into the merits of the, various remedies that 1 1 J 1 are recommended for coughs and colds, 1 1 you will find that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy stands high in the estimation of people who use it. It is prompt and effectual, pleasant, and safe to take, which are qualities especially to be desired when a medicine is intended for children. For sale by all dealers. Adv. Phone Main 98 i
