(Special) A total of 15,2000 common carrier re. ceipts for liquor shipments huve been sold by County Clerk A. B. Combs since the Oregon prohiibtion law be came effective a year ago, and for last December about 3500 receipts have been returned to the office of the county clerk by the express and freight offices of the county. The local office of the American Express company alone turned in 1(100 receipts today, says Mr. Combs. There are also about 100 packages of in toxicanting liquor lying in the office uncalled for. Most of these, it is be lieved, have been left either because the owners ordered through others and have forgetten the names of the persons who must sign, or because parties have ordered under assumed names, and are now in fear of being charged with perjury if they sign. Mr. Combs states that he is nearlj out of receipts and will be at a loss to supply them unless the legislature soon makes the new law effective. The receipts for the city aggregae about 3000 for December. The ship ments handled by the express office are mostly of distilled liquor and wines, for the greater part of the brewed liquors are shipped by freight. CARRANZA PERMITS AMER ICAN RANCH TO HAVE PRI VATE ARMY OF DEFENSE Ciudad Juarez, Chih., Mcx., Jan. 13. (United Press) For the protection of the two million acre American own ed Bnbicora ranch permission, to main tain a private "feudal" army has been granted by de facto government offi cials. Two hundred men are armed today to defend the properties against bandit forays. In the month the private army has been in existence they have engaged marauding bands three times and kill ed or captured and turned over to Car ranza authorities 28 bandits. Colonel Hosario Garcia and two followers bearing messages to Villa were bag ged by the Babicon army and executed here by a firing squad a few weeks ago. John Hayes, American manager of the ranch estimates the losses in the last 24 months at 25,000 head of cat tle, 1000 horses and mules, 35,000 bushels of corn and beans burned and an equal amount confiscated or stolen, and three American and twenty na tives slain.

A six story building covering a block and costing over $100,000, the report ed sale of a block on which a Detroit automobile company will erect a large assembling plant, the possibility of the American Can company erecting a plant in Portland larger than the one in- Seattle, a $50,000 building practi cally assured by a lease reported to have been closed; these are the de velopments of the last two days that promse well for Portland realty in 1917. That the American Can company may enlarge their present plant, which now employs 400 workmen, to a size ltarger than the one in Seattle, is indicated by the plans submitted to the municipal building bureau by the Portland Dock commission, with which body the company has taken up the mntter of extensive enlargement.

Union County Men Attend Convention Grain Handling in Bulk I Commiwd Very Favorably State and Nation al Rural Credits Laws Disciuuied. BY PAUL H. SPILLMAN. Corvallis, Ore., Jan. 13. (Special.) Farmers' week at O.iA. C. for the year 1917 is history, and with its passing we record the most successful culmination of such a week in the records of 0. A. C. Not only from the standpoint of numbers, something better than 1700, but also from the standpoint of spirit and enthusiasm. Young men and wo men with nil of life before them, and men and women well along on their earthly journey vied with each other in enthusiasm. It mattered not whether you hailed from the coast or the irrigated section, whether you were interested in production, mar keting, organization or social and spiritual doings as they related to the agricultural population of the state, ! you found something of interest going i on all the time. Jim Woodell, Will Glenn and S. 1 Bingaman landed in Corvallis with the idea of learning a little something about the question of handling of LTain in bulk. And from the latest re. ports that I received from these gen tlemen they all agreed that they had not been disappointed. The fact of the matter is that they attended the best grain growers' convention that has ever been held in the state, at least from the standpoint of discuss ing the grain growing question from the time the seed is treated to prevent smut until the time the wheat leaves the state or is ground into flour at the mill. Farmers, buyers, exporters, millers, railroad men and anyone else that di rectly or indirectly was interested in wheat in one way or another were present and further, discussed their viewpoints as to the present and fu ture of various phases of the busi ness. Things moved along pretty much along schedule until tho sack question and the grain in bulk question came up. Let me say for brevity's sake that there were some "fireworks," all of which was very illuminating, no mat ter on "which side of the fence" you stood. Ed Kiddle presented the sack question from his point of view and several men talked of tho advantages of the bulking system. Of these lat ter, W. W. liarrnn of Pendleton, a farmer who undoubtedly has given the question of marketing wheat more careful study and investigation than anyothcr grower in tho state, was the "star" man for the bulking system. Whether all tho farmers present were convinced as to the merits of the bulk ing system before they came to Cor vallis, I can not say, but I feel per fectly safe in saying that they all came away feeling that this system has its merits and is not far distant. Trueit is that there are many prob lemstosolVe in this connection, and why should there not be, when such a radical change is contemplated T Solve them we shall and must, still wo must act advisedly so as to minimize these possible mistakes. It was in this particular convention that Union county farmers were in terested largely and probably will have a greater influence on our practices than any other one thing that was considered at the Farmers' Week just closed. As stated before the Union county representatives were particularly in terested in this particular convention, yet they also took a keen, interest in many of the other things that were going on at this time. Jim Woodell could be found in the room where state and national rural credits were HiuMissnd. whenever that subiect was under consideration. Also at the con- , , vention of the agricultural councils of the various counties. Mr. Woodoll rep resented the Union county council and gave a short talk as to the plan for county agent work in our county for the coming year. Union county may rest assured that it was well and ably represented by the four gentlemen previously men tioned. Herbert Hopkins Honoerd. lTprhfM'f. f.Trrvl Hnnkin. Rnn of Mr. r.nd Mrs. Geo. C.
