If boun ties are given for wolves and other destructive animals why not provide poison for the farmer so that he can rid the country of a pest worse and far more destructive than any other? The farmer does not ask for a bounty on these animals but for poison to ex terminate them and he will , do the rest. If this matter is brought to the notice of the next ' legislature some thing may be done about it. It is reported that Ellis Hess is some better but not out of danger yet.

The company rented a building from McGregor for the telephone exchange. It is reported that local dealers are offering farmers $35 per head for fat cows. It seems that cows are very cheap .in price but beef on the block continues at the same old prices as usual.. There is strong talk of a Co-Opera tive creamery for this town. Some thing that will .fill a crying need. Thousands of pounds of cream leaves this town every year and the proceeds are filling the pockets of firms in oth er towns. There is a lot of fine dairy cows m this section and the larmers are perfectly capable of running a creamery of their own and making money for themselves. Get busy, gentlemen. My all means let us have a creamery and a co-operative one. II PEOPLE BUSY WORK IS RUSHED ON THE NEW SCHOOL BUILDING. Movement on for the Establishment of Co-Opcrative Creamery. North Powder, Aug. 2. (Special) It is understood that Mr. Lewis who lias had a lease on the Sanders farm for the past few years will leave soon for the Lower Powder where he has a place. Mr. Lewis purchased Earn est Forsstrom's "Cole 8" so that he can get to town in a hurry if he does live out a few miles. The -best wishes of tho town people go with Mr. Lewis and family to tiheir new home, The building on the new school house is going on rapidly and every thing is progressing nicely as can be. The first of September, will soon be here so it behooves the contractor to hurry. There are lots of complaints from ranchers from all parts of the country about the damage to their grain from squirrels and rabbits. It is so wide spread and so much damage results it looks as if the state might furnish the poison and let the ranchers put it out which they would gladly do if it was furnished them free. The past year all kinds of poisons were pro hibitive in price and much damage has Wax 4 D.R.FONG CELEBRATED CHINESE HERB CO. -(30 years of wonderful cures) The Famous Chinese Herbs for AH Ailments of Both Sexes CONSULTATION FREE Office Hours 1600S Jefferson Ave. 9 a. m. to 6 p. m. , La Grande, Ore. Brick Roads Are Favored Washington, Aug. 2. Continuing its advice on road building, the United States office of good roads discussed brick as a building material. Forty-four years ago the first brick road in the United States was Con structed in Charleston, W. Va. "The experience of the forty-four years," says the United States office of good roads, "has demonstrated that it is entirely practical to construct satisfactory brick roads." "These roads," says Uncle Sam's ex perts, "now are giving general satis faction, when properly constructed, and it is probable that their mileage will continue to increase rapidly. Three Advantages The principal advantages of the brick road, according to the govern ment road service, are: 1. Durability under practically all traffic conditions. 2. Easy traction and good foot hold. 3. Easily maintained and kopt clean. The only disadvantage attributed to this type of road is the high initial cost. This is largely offset, it is fig ured, by the low maintenance and general stamina of the road. The best type of brick road, in the opinion of the government road ex perts, is a good brick laid on a sand cushion, with a substantial concrete foundation. The most essential factor in the building of a good brick road is the selection of a suitable brick. Ihe United States road men recommend bricks made from shale and fire clays of the "lean" varieties. The shales are red, while the fire clays produce a light-colored road. The brick chosen should be hard, rough and uniform in size. Although a definite speculation as to crushing strength is no necessary, good paving brick should withstand a pressure of from 15,000 to 20,000 pounds per square inch. Concrete Foundation For the brick road a concrete foun dation is advisable, but where the traffic is light, broken stone will often suffice. Should stone be used, it should be nut on in courses, the largest stones at the bottom, and should be from eight to ten inches deep. The more satisfactory concrete ba3e may be a composition of one part Portland cement, three parts sand and five to seven parts broken stone or gravel. This should then be cov ered to a depth of two inches with a clean sand, spread dry. On this sand cushion the bricks are laid on edge and at right angles to the line of the road. Each alternate row should be gin a half a 'brick in. Ramming and rolling complete the road. placed on a paying basis, as well as new equipment and perfection of pres ent properties. This is likely to in volve the expenditure of $20,000,000. I am on my way east to confer with eastorn representatives of the reor ganization committee, and on my re turn I will (have a clearer idea of just what is to be done. "We are gratified in securing C. W. Nibley as ona of our directors, as we are in need of some prominent man in this part of the country to consult in develpment work in Utah, Nevada and Idaho. His advice will be invaluable, I feel assured. We have ordered a thousand 'box cars from the Pullman company for delivery, Aug. 15 to Sept. 15." President Levey expressed himself as satisfied with the company's busi ness during the past year particularly within the past few months.' 1 Efforts to Reform Brings Reward. Aberdeen. Wasflt, July 81. Driven from the home of wealthy Baltimore parents for his conduct, Jerome P. Darlington wandered to Cosmopolis and became a mill worker. Yesterday he received a reward for his efforts to make a man of himself. He received word that ho was heir to $100,000. He has given up his job and left for the east to claim his fortune. The last, year of the youth's life reads like a motion picture melo drama. He was a lover of the "white way." When driven from home he came west, taking a common laborer's job at Cosmopolis. One day he wrote a brief note to his father on a piece of lumber, asking the party who received it to communicate with his father, and the eastern party who received the lumber did so. In response to this he received a letter from his father forgiving him and telling Ihim of his inheritance. Young Darlington attributes his -reward partly to the dry law. He says he has not "touched a drop" since he came to Cosmopolis and that he is go ing home a different mam. and one of whom his parents need not be ashamed.
