THE, FORUM
La Grande, Ore., March 13. (To
the Editor.) The Grande Ronde val
ley has long needed a cannery, and
since, many orchards around LaGrande
Are being taken out, what ere the
owners going to grow on this land
that will be of profit to them T
If put into vegetables and small
fruits where is there a market T
Now it is up the people to- help
make this cannery a success and furn
ish the acreage for its support. The
fancial part is already at hand.
. There will be needed to begin with
.three (hundred acres of corn, one
hundred acres of 'beans and one hun
dred acres of peas, and other, such
vegetables as squash, cabbage, cucum
bers, blood beets and small fruits.
The first question asked will be
IWJtat can you pay for these products 7
We answer, as much as they pay ait
otiher canneries. -' ' .
We can grow just as good vege
tables and small fruits as other peo
ple and as many of them.
Bf 'you want the cannery come for
ward with the acreage. .
C. M. RIDDLE,
Following is a letter germane to the
subject above:
Hoopestain, 111., March 6. Mr. C.
ML Riddle, La Grande, Ore., Dead Sir:
We acknowledge receipt of your
favor of the 3rd inst., with inquiry
in regard to our price to the growers
of country sugar corn, and beg to ad
vise that we pay ahem $13.50 per net
ton, that is to say, we test the corn
as it comes an to the factory by
-weighing 100 pounds with the husks
on and then weighing this same 100
pounds after tiho husk has been taken
off, for -example, if the corn weighs
71 pounds after the husk has been
-taken off, the grower gets a 71 per
cent test on that particular load of
corn. and is paid for at the Tate of .
$13.50 per ton, as mentioned above. 1
(Some factories buy the corn at so ;
much per gross ton, that is, buying
busk and com, and figuring on the
above basis, it would make the price
about $9.50 per gross ton.
Wo note your inquiry with regard
-to country gentleman seed, "and beg
to advise that good country gentle
man seed is a very scarce article, and
seed growers are asking prices all
the way from seven dollars to ten
kllars per bushel.
We thought we had covered our
requirements for country gentleman
seed, but one or two of the seed
growers have cut us down on the
amount which we contracted for, de
livering only about 80 per cent of our
orders. We, therefore, cannot tell at
this time exactly whether or not we
-will have any surplus to spare, but
in case we find that we have more
than we need, will be glad to take
this matter up with you a little later
on.
Wo are getting inquiries from all
over the country from canners, who
are short of country gentleman seed,
and as stated above, some of them
are going to have a hard time to
find enough country gentleman seed
for their usage during the planting
season, "
We thank you for your inquiry,
and regret tihat we are not in position
to give you more definite answer
-vith regard to the seed at thi3 time.
A. - -. Yours truly,
THE ILLINOIS CANNING CO.
ENGINEER DISCUSSES ROAD
La Grande, Ore. March 12. (To

of good roads, it is well to note

the past has built several hundred
miles of gravel roads, because of the
high maintenance cost now finds it
advisable to float a large bond is
sue for the purpose of hard-surfacing
tlhe mMn trunk highways in or
der to eliminate this excessive main
tenance expense. Had this action
been taken by the county orig
inally, the cost of the gravel con
struction and the heavy yearly cost
of maintenance would 'have been
Lsaved, (and the bond issue would now
be partly liquidated. Reference is
made to the following article appear
ing )tn '(Engineering Record" of
March 4th, 1916.
"Following the voting of a bond is
sue of $1,813,000, for the hard sur
facing of 130 miles of matin roads,
by a decisive majority, the Board of
County Commissioners of Snohmish
County, Washington, has authorized
the sale of $750,000 in bonds to de
fray the cost of this year's work.
"There are, in all, about 700 miles
of iroad in the county, mostly gravel,
but the maintenance, under present
day traffic conditions, Has been ex
cessive. The roads to ibe paved will
cover tfhe main trunk 'highways, thus
eliminating the-most expensive ones
in maintenance cost.
"The proposed improvements are
expected to be completed in about
three yealrs. The preliminary field
work for this year's construction is
now under way. It is probable that
the greater portion of the troada will
be improved by one course concrete
paving. The work will be done
under tihie direct supervision of W. C.
Bickftfrd, eounty engineer. 1
"In a recent address before the
Highway Engineers of Kentucky, Ro
bert TO, Davis, county engineer of
Fayette county, said; "If a commu-
nity needs a good general system of
roads to day, the work should have
been commenced 20 years ago. If
a system is needed 20 years hence, it
should be commenced now." That
statement is woiith Tefadang twice,
tike truth expressed being especial
ly pertinent at tMa time in view of
the fact that good roads play a very
rmporant part in the Preparedness
program."
The following editorial, also from
"Engineering Recoird" of March 4th,
1916, emphasizes the military value
of good roads by citing a particular
instance wfhtere the good road system
was the principal factor enabling the
successful defense of a City Jrom an
enemy.
"Engineers in this country have
known, in a general way, that good
roads are a military asset, but very
few, outside of army circles, have re
alized the momentous part which tihe
highway system around Paris has
played in the destinies of Frtance.
Good roads were the big factor 5n
strapping the gtreat German drive at
tihie beginning of the war, and pre
vented the investment of Paris by
the Teutonic forces. This, in effect,
is the significant statement made re
cently by Major Amos A. Fries, Corps
of Engineers, U. S. Army, Jn ten ad
dress at the National conference of
Concrete Road Building in Chicago.
By the quickness of their mobiliza
tion and .movements, said Major
Fries, the Germans all but took Paris,
wfMch iwas slaved only by General
Joffre's skillful use of automobiles
Bnd the fine roads around" Paris. By
commandeering all sorts of motor
vehicles he was able to carry from
Paris to the front for several days
plrior to and during the battle of the
Marne a steady stream of soldiers,!
night and day. Tlhe use which Gen
eral Joffre made of good roads and
motors at Paris in August, 1914,
Exchange

Numerous counties in the United
States have experimented with gra
vel as a road material, and the re
sult hag been the same as in Snoho

not this County, then, profit , by J;he
proven mistakes of other counties,
rather than repeat their unsuccessful
and expensive experiments?
L. ti. HOWLAND
SPARKOW PEST SERIOUS
Bird Lover Warns Growth of Destruc
- tive Birds. '
La Grande, March 11 (To the Edi
tor) Listen for the song sparrow,
that sweet singer who tells us spring
is coming! If you are lucky you will
hear him but nine times out of ten
you will not for his place is usurped
by tho dirty, noisy, quarrelsome Eng'
lish sparrow. In Jarge flocks these
birds may be seen about the cornices
of down town buildings, in the streets,
and all about the residence district
of town, stealing the nesting sites
about eves which by rights belong to
fly catcher, or the robin, taking pos
session of the few bird housc-3 in the
city, and thereby leaving the blue
birds and wrens houseless, and chat
tering about the branches of tho trees
so that the beantuul orioles and
sweet singing . goldfinches seek-the
country, where they may have peace.
Even the few birds which ' run the
risk of .building .near , them are in
danger of having their oggs destroy
ed, or their young thrown from the
nest . The English sparrows aire not
brave and the other birds not cowardly
but they swoop ddwn in such numbers
that a pair of song birds is powerless
against them. ' -. ,
The man with chickens had best
be seeing to the destruction of this
pest for a flock will consume much
grain,- and will carry chicken diseases
from place to place.
They are simply overrunning this
city and it will take the united ef
forts of the community to destroy
them. The government recommends
their destruction, the Association of
Audobon Societies urges it, and we
are letting them multiply here by
the hundreds. Ithe men in the busi
ness houses down taw would destroy
the eggs, and the nests which the
sparrows build all about the eaves
and signboards their increase would
be materially dhcoked.
As for the flock at large now, they
should be trapped. An address of a
manufacturer of sparrow traps will
be given on request and Farmer's Bul
letin No. 493 from the Agricultural
Department at Washington " gives
designs for several styles of traps.
Sparrows are excellent food nnd have
been eaten in England for centuries.
One hotel in the south serves them
constantly to its guests. If some of
the hunters of grouse and pheasants
would turn on the English sparrow
they would provide themselves with
an excellent dish and be adding a
material blessing to the community
at ti'e same time by destroying this
persistent pest. -

Experiences of Messrs. Garrick and
Deakin in the Interior
Sumpter, March 10. (To the Edi
tor Observer). Having been denied
the pleasure of reading rour paper
for many days, now, we deem it our
duty to inform you that we have
greatly missed that privilege, and to
express the hope that the Observer
is now swimming right m the center
of that wave of prosperity that is
now beginning to sweep the western
country.
Mr. Thomas Deakin and myself
were sent up into this section of coun
try some two weeks ago to preach
the gospel. We landed in Prairie
City, which is situated at the mouth
of John Day valley. Standing here
and viewing the surroundings the in
describable grandeur of the mountain
scenery leads to the conclusion that
right here is where the Great Build
er finished his work and laid aside
his trowel. Grande Ronde valley is
beautiful but it is only the work of a
prentice hand compared to this.
There is onlv one active church in
Prairie City. We begged in vain for
permissioon to hold religious services
in that church but the trustees of
the public school made us welcome to
that, building and it suited us much
better because it was broader than
the church building. All the people
received us kindly, and urged us to
return again soon.
'..Out next stop was at Austin, a
place without a church, and so far
as we could see a place without a Sab
bath day. A community of pretty
good people just getting their heads
above the winter snow, and trying
to realize that the dry vote was not a
dream. Whitney is a small town still
nearer Baker. We were received in
Whitney with the right hand of kind
ness and friendship and it was an ex
saloon man who gave us a hall with
heat and light free and the whole
town' turned out to hear us and re
quested us to spend another day there
which we did.
But the surprise of our lives await
ed us in the town of Sumpter, where
we have had the Presbyterian church
to, preach in. And the parson vnd
the Methodist parson came to the
meeting. Surely the time is near
when the lion shall eat straw like
the ox. This is a finished town not
furnishes a lesson
Should never forget. '
ja sound of hammer in it. It is buried
mi snow. Snow is in heaps ten feet
high, all along the sidewalks and
crossings and the good people deny all
responsibility for the snow getting
there and hold no obligation to re
move it. "The Lord gave and the
Lord taketh away" seems to be their
attitude toward the snow piles. And
this somehow reminds us of like con
dition in some other towns not long
ago. Your truly,
L. GARRICK. '

New York, Mar. 11 A cherry may
play it three ways ana still be well
placed in a pie, a cocktail or on
milady's bonnet. All three are ideal
settings for a cherry, but naturally
the third is the charm. Just as every
cloud has a silver lining, so does every
smart spring hat have its first fruits
and the cherry is the favorite of the
bunch. JJ;vme f ashion is masquerad
ing as Pdmona. In consequence, every

goes around looking like a mixed fruit
salld. It s quite all right if the perch
confines the cherries that go to her
head to the ones on her hat. If she lets
the cherries in a cocktail go to her
head she is apt to look more like
compote. See Webster's Unabridged:
"Compote: A combination of stew
ed fruit." The shapes of the new hata
cunning little high crowned effect?
without brims, or fetching little Dir
ectoire bonnets, lend themselves very
prettily to the cherry habit. Following
the cherry, the favorite fruits for hats
are green and purple grapes, peach
es, plums, strawberries, oranges, lem
ons and apples for daughters of Eve.
Some of the big, flat garden hats have
an array of fruit around their flat
platelike brims, their vivid colors
glowing against a background of glas
sy green leaves, for all the world like
like Mike the Dago's pushcart display.
But why scratch the 57 varieties f f
the satorial menu? Surely a Cassaba
Chapeau, a Danana Bonnet or a Pine
apple Picture Hat would be tasty Mttle
headpieces for the fruitfull fashions.
Just to what lengths can fruit go is
best answered by the fact that not on
ly do they grow on the spring millin
ery, but on parasols, bags, umbrella
handles, neck ruffs, belts, sash ends,
jacket lapels, blouses, frocks, negilees
nnd even lingerie are clusters of them
grafted.
The new lawns, ' organdies and
spring silks are printed in fruit de
signs and even the newest jewelry
preserves the peach, the plum, the
cherry and the grape in gold and plat
inum, in enamel and precious stones.
Verily an up to date peach in A cher

according to the currant modes, could
never be a gooseberry in any crowd.
Rather she is the apple of every male
eye, with all of them plum crazy abou
her.
New York, March 11 The Spanish
influences call our tendency this
season toward ruffles, flounces, laces,
full short skirts, and basques. This
note was first mentioned at the intro
duction of the bolero, a little earlier
in the season, and since the premiere
of Goyescas at the Metropolitan
Opera House some weeks ago the
first time, by the way. that America
has been honored with a first per
formance of a new opera this Span
ish note is being talked of more and
more. Whether it will really be an
important issue in the summer fash
Ions is yet to be seen; so far it Is
being noticed only In a strong leaning
toward the deep Spanish flounce of
Novel Skirt Drapery
lace on dance and dinner dresses, and
on lingerie summer frocks.
In the fascinating Fandango, danc
ed in the second act of Goyescas, the
dancer wears a charming little frock
of yellow, with two deep : black lace
flounces joined to veil the skirt from
below a deep yoke depth; the frock
is so dainty and graceful that it
should inclino us all to Spanish lace
flounces.
. ' The Spanish Lare Scarf
; All through the brilliant audience
on opening night, as a delicate at
tention no doubt to the composer, one
saw tne Spanish lace scarf in both
black and white, draped about gleam
ing white shoulders. Here and there
in true Spanish fashion too, a hlfrh
black comb was seen, often Ij; the
shining black hair of a true Spanish
beauty; and there were any number
of them, keenly appreciative of their
countryman's offering. There has
never been anything , more graceful
and useful than these scarfs and any
one possessing one should be more
than grateful. They arc a charming
accessory to the formal evening gown
and serve the dance frock eauallv
wen.
The Vogue of Lace
Much lace is beinsr used on dresses
aside from flounces. One of the fa
vorite methods is to veil a deep band
of lace in the bodice, as shown in our
first illustration, and another use is
shown in the sleeves and front penel
effect on the other frock. The metal
laces rather heavy in weave, are es
pecially effective for veiling, pur
poses. The gold and silver bandings
are most attractive. Often in the
flas!i of color lining or is" veiled
first with a pale pink chiffon and the
pink in turn veiled with the dark blue,
black, or other shade of the blouse.
Raglan and Drop-Shoulder
Becomine and graceful for all tvnes
is the drop-shoulder, especially when
the blouse or frock is fashioned of a
soft, drapy stuff like crepe Georgette
chiffon, or one of the soft silke
crepes. The fad for trimming these
soft materilas with colored beads is
.one of the most artistic and effec
tive notions we have seen for many
a day. A blouse in . Russian style,
imported recently by one- of our
smart shops, was fashioned of a dull
copper-colored crepe de Chine. It
closed straight down the front and
the raglan shoulders were outlined
front and back with a banding of
buifhished beads, in several tjmeh,
shading from trold to Conner. Tbn
loose waist , was held in slightly at
the normal waistline with a twisted
cord of the beads with tasselled ends.
It was a garment which could be
appropriately worn with separate
skirt for the street, without a coat.
(While there are some rather com
plex ideas this spring, the majority
ox irocks and blouses are simplclity
itself; any one who can handle a
needlo can fashion them, if she will
keep one or two important facts in
mind: first, that the r.ew shoulder
li:e is sloping; second, that sleeves,
wsue loose snouid give an indi
cation of tho shape of the arm. A
tight fitting cuff will serve to do this
becomingly; third, that skirts must
curve over tho hips, unless they are
the full-gathered models, and muct
be as full below the hips as possilbe.

picot-edged, or plain taffeta or moire

the frock requires tubbing.

rymg about what to wear next sum
mer, and who live in daily dread of
appearing in the wrong thing, may
