Liquor Shipments j
Heavy at Baker
Since a Year -'Ago
Common Carrier
Been Issued.
Totul of 15,200
Receipts Have
Baker, Ore., Jan. 13. (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.
London Magazines
Go Up in Prices
London, Jan. 13. (Special) Start
ing with the February issue, the reg
ular price of all illustrated monthly
magazines in this country will be in
creased one penny (two cents), on ac
count of the increased cost of paper
and other materials. Nearly all mag
azines now sell for six pence.
Portland to Get Big Plant.
Portland, Jan. 13. (Special.) 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.

Harry L. Becker offered a turkey ami
Ed Meyes, "a rooster and two old

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.
