Why consider subjecting
yourself to the hardships of
homesteading, the "red tape"
of "proving up", the handi
caps of high altitude, frost,
poor water, and untried soil
and isolation from the con
veniences of civilization,
when you can get a tract of
Palmer Lands at' these
terms and prices and live in
a settled and proven com
munity, within 3 to 5 miles
of a railroad, where there is
plenty of rain fall and good
water, an ideal climate and
unexcelled soil.
This Photograph illustrates the rolling character of the country, and
shows the fine pasturage, the stumps, trees and occasional clear patches.

well watered, averaging from 75 to 90 per cent fine tillable farming land and
every foot first-class pasture, near abundance of outside range, within 3 to 5
miles of the railroad, Palmer Junction Postoffice and general merchandise
store, etc., will likely be sold this summer and fall.
4000 acres have been sold; but this is less than 25 per cent of the entire tract
and not over 40 per cent of the good farming land. Fall and Spring wheat,
oats, barley and other grains, alfalfa, clover, timothy, Sudan grass, millet and
other hays and grasses, corn, potatoes, peas, beans, squash, cabbage, berries,
turnips, beats, and many other vegetables for feed and table purposes have

Investigate at Once
Write for our new illustrated folder, or call and
let us show you maps and photographs and
samples of grains and grasses grown on Palmer
Lands. George Huntington Currey will be pleased
to go with you or meet you at Palmer Junction at
nny time.
Palmer Lands are the best new land offer in the
west today. They are a real opportunity for a
man with small resources and an ideal invest
ment for a man with means.
This is an ideal time to look over these lands,
while the crops are still in the field. If you are
interested in good land at low cost do not put
off your investigation. You have heird people
tell of the chances they have missed. Don't miss
yours. This land that is now selling for $15 will
demand $100 in a very few years. Arrange your
affairs to look at these lands at once.

Won Big Prize.
Vienna, Aug. 1. Entering the war
as a volunteer surgeon little known
outside the circle of specialists of his
own class, Dr. Robert Barany of Vi
enna, after fifteen months of cap
tivity in Russia, has at last returned
as an "exchange invalid" to find him
self famous as the Nobel prize wm
vtAi. in modirine.
The knowledge which was the basis
rjt Ho TiriM-winnin book was gained
chiefly as Burgeon in Przemysl; the
book itself was written in captivity;
it has brought him 400,000 crowns in
money; and it played no small part in
securing his release from Turkestan.
The dramatic circumstances sur
rounding his achievement liave great
ly heightened the effect of his return
to his family. Nominally he was per
mitted to leave Russia because he :s
slightly lame from an affection of one
foot from whidh he has suffered since
a child. Actually, his unexpected dis
tinction, pius the efforts of Prince
Karl of Sweden, went far to secure
his exchange.
Despite his lameness, Dr. Barany
volunteered for service at the out
break of the war, and was detailed as
chief surgeon of the surgical depart
ment of a hospital in Przemysi. i:
was while there, as he modes- , ex
plains, that he was "so fortunate as
to discover o new method for the
treatment of bead wounds," a dis
covery that enabled him to cure a
vastly greater percentage of cases
than before.
For four weeks after the fall of
Przemysl the Russian commander al
lowed the Austrian physicians to re
main. Then in transports of about
100 they were sent to various parts
of Russia, many to Siberia, the sur
geon and many others to Turkestan.
Unlike many others, Dr. Barany on
his return was reported almost uni.
versally good treatment in captivity,
treatment that included a sufficiency
of decent food liberty not too restrict
ed, and pleasant professional rela
tions with Russian commanders ana
colleagues. Dr. Barany was given
fairly ample opportunity to study, to
practice, and to lecture on his spec
ialty to Russian and captive Austrian
physicians.
only did he defend them, but admitted
on the witness stand that he and his
wife had tried married life for a
whole year before they had obtained
a marriage license and been legally
married. Inasmuch as this very trial
marriage had been made the basis of
proceedings to take away from
Schautz and his wife the custody of
Mrs. Schantz' daughter by a former
marriage, the verdict of the jury,
which was in favor of the Schantzes,
is looked1 upon as a sort of justifica
tion of trial marriages.
"Yes, my wife and I lived together
for a year before we were legally
married," Schantz said when he was
on the witness stand. "I believe in
trial marriages. I am glad that I
lived with my wife for a year before
we were legally married, because I
learned that she and I were suited to
each other and that we were able to
get along nicely."
Trial of the dependency case was
remarkable in other respects. Mrs.
Schantz renounced her mother, Mrs.
Carrie Zumwalt, while she was testi
fying, and in open court told the jury
that Mrs. Zumwalt was no relative of
hers. Her little daughter followed
her example and told the jury that
Mrs. Zumwalt was not her grand
mother. When Mrs. Zumwalt heard her
daughter deny that she was her
mother, she broke down and wept. It
was with difficulty that she could be
quieted. She again lost control of
herself when her daughter countered
the charge that she and Schantz lived
together for a year before their mar
riage with the charge that Mrs. Zum
walt had not conducted herself properly.
share of the Federal good roads ap
propriation, amounting to $78,000, for
1916, under the Shackleford bill
passed recently by Congress, will be
claimed at once, members of the State
Higliway commission and advisory
board decided today. '
Governor Withycombe, in behalf of
the State Highway commission, with
in the next few days will make a for
mal request of the Secreary of Agri
culture for the money which it is de--
sired to use this year, if possible. To
morrow, he will request Attorney
General Brown for an opinion regard
ing certain features of the Federal
law authorizing the appropriation,
and then will tender his formal re
quest to the Government for the
money.
Decision to ask for Oregon's 1916
share of the Federal allotment pro
vided under the Shackleford measure
was made today as a result of a con
ference of tho Highway commission
with members of the advisory board
and a delegation from Portland. The
Portland representatives were urgent
that action to get tho money be im
mediate, fearing that to delay until
the Legislature meets might result
in tlhe state's losing its allotment
from the Government for this year.
State to Match Fund.
Under the provisions of the Govern
ment measure Oregon must match the
Federal appropriation with an equal
amount of money, which is to be ex
pended as may be decided upon by
state highway officials and the 'Secre
tary of Agriculture.
In matching the Government ap
propriation, assurances were given by
the Multnomah county delegation that
the county was already prepared to
expend $35,000 on road work on the
Columbia River highway.
S. Benson said that he would give
$15,000 for road improvement, and
tlhe Highway commission decided to
allot $18,000 remaining in the high
way fund for work on Ruthton Hill on
the Columbia highway in Hood River
county. That leaves only $10,000 to
complete the $78,000 needed to match
the Government allotment.
Ruthton Hill Work Assured.
Necessity of improving the Colum
bia highway on Ruthton Hill was
strongly urged upon the Highway
commission by Judge Stanton, of
Hood River county, and members of
the Portland delegation. Already
several accidents have occurred on the
hill because of the steep grade. With
the money allotted today by the High
way commission and funds to be sup
plied through efforts of Portland resi
dents, the road around this hill will
be improved at once. The cost of tlhe
improvement is about $32,000.
Members of the Portland delegation
here today were Amos Benson, S.
Benson, E. E. Coovert, George W. Jo
seph, John B. Yeon, Jacob Kanzier,
Thomas Sherrard and B. J. Finch.
State aid for building a good road
from Klamath Falls to Eugene and
thence west to the coast was urged
upon members of the State Highway
commission by a delegation from Eu
gene. ,
The route of the road proposed by
Lane county residents would run from
Klamath r ails north to the intersex
tion with the old military wagon road
and cross the Cascade mountains at
the headwaters of the middle fork of
the Willamette river, running thence
westward to Eugene. From Eugene
the road would run west to Florence,
York excursion steamer was inveiti-
gated.
Winslow was born in Washington in
1854. He was appointed to the Naval
Academy by the President in 1870,)
and graduated in 1875. i
U. S. SCENES BEST ON EARTH.
Department of Interior Finds Our (
Nation Parkland of World. i '
That the Americans who have
been paying a heavy premium for
their scenic beauty, and have been
going an unnecessary distance to get
it, is tho discovery made by tlhe
United States department of interior
in its inventory of tho wonder spots of
this country. It is exposing the self
victimization of our citizens in on un
certain terms, and is preaching the
sermon of home consumption of
American scenery.
"This nation is richer ' in natural
scenery of the first order than any
other nation," declares Stephen T.
Mather, assistant secretary to the
secretary of tho interior. "It possess
es an empire of grandeur and beauty
it has scarcely heard of."
The discovery of this grandeur and
beuty by the motorists of this coun
try is the sermon sot forth by Na
tional Touring Week, tlhe automobile
movement that lias seized our nation
from the Atlantic ocean to the Pa
cific's strand. The impulse for a gen
eral outpouring of United Sattes mo
torists to visit the natural beauty
about them which followed the in
ception of the movement indicates
that the country is primed for a
widespread appreciation of the scenic
wonder of our homeland.
When the sun rises on August 6,
the date set for the official outing
week of the motorists of this country,
tho greatest motoring our this land
has ever seen, will be under way.
Thousands of automobilists will be
hitting the road on a vacation tour.
"See America first by seeing youT
own state first," is the sentiment
nearest to the heart of this movement.
Every stae has is natural foeauy, of
which its citizens have a right to be
proud. The reasoning of National
Touring Week enthusiasts is that you
not only do not need to go across the
ocean to enjoy scenic grandeur, but
you can find it almost within sight of
your garage.
Vacation time in 1916 will be mem
orable as the date of the real discov
ery of America.
