(Special) Road conditions are reported to be quite good In most parts of this commun ity yet. Thawing has not been suf ficient to take the frost out of thp road beds yet and where there Is no heavy hauling during the warm part of the day they are still quite smooth.' Four large trucks ure still busy hauling logs from the Charles Johnson logging camp on Whiskey creek to the railroad here. The roads there are said to be In fairly good condition yet. however, while recently there- has been considerable tliawlng during the day, the greater part of the hauling has been done at night while the road is frozen soim. a considerable number of the farmers of the community ore still busy a part of the time hauling logs from the woods for their year's supply of fuel. Some say they will not be able to haul much longer bocauso of the snow melting rapidly on part of the roads. Lambing Starting; More reports of start of lambing operations are heard from several of the farms of this end of the valley. While the most of the lambing at this time Is confined to scattering ewos In some of the smaller flocks, a few of the flocks of 26 and 50 head have been mostly all lambed at this time. Lambing Is reported to be prac tically completed at the John Couch farm In Leap where a small flock of Black-faced ewes produced a lamb crop considerably In excess of 100 per cent. Some report the loss of a few lambs during some of the cold nights where ifcwos not possible to have them In warm sheds. Where tho owes are being fed on good green cured hay they are said to be sup plying plenty of milk for tho lambs, however, some others who have been WORK - $88,182.17 bad year in dairy prices. Out of 33 tllffeioiit kinds of clubs, dairying was chosen by 8U3 members who com pleted their projects with a gross In come of $00,032.33 and a net profit Of $23,078.47. Sewing clubs gathered in the greatest .number of members, but their efforts were not ho profitable materially. Thus, 4204 members completed their sowing projects but only cleared $5,077.05 In profit, or less than $1.50 each. Cooking might be considered pri marily woman's field, but the club members apparently think differ ently, for nearly one-third of the 3,517 members ho enrolled in cook ing clubs were "boys. Lane county led ail the rest In both total enrollment and income for Inst year. It had 104 clubs In the county with 3,340 members who showed a gross Income of $26,053.01, and a net profit or $8,703.07.

Since the last week In Janu- ary the weather has been much like that of last year, however, at this time more freezing is occurring at night and It Is well toward the mid dle of the day before -the ice has thawed out much. There appears to be but little of the moisture from the melting snow running off, on the other hand the greater part of It is evidently going into the soil. The soil is said to contain several Inches of frost in many places yet. The greater part of the wheat fields in the hill sections are still covered with eight or ten inches of snow. Farmers are pleased to see tho snow ; rauier mow in melting on tne wnoat lleldb and feel that the grain will i;o doubt be better off If the snow continues to remain on the ground for another month or six weeks. Probably by that tlmp the time for damaging freezing and heaving of the surface of the soil will have passed. Much of the snow has been melted off tho bunch-gross pastures which face the south and some stock are In the pastures during the day, re sulting in a considerable saving of huy for farmers who are situated this way. General feeding conditions still remain quite good. Tho most of the feed lots In the valley are still quite solid and since thawing weather has set In, many of the feed ers are feeding In racks and mangers where there is but little chance for much waste of feed. Favor Chopped Feed There Is said to be a, growing favor among many of the dairymen and other stockmen In this county for chopped winter feeds. During the past two or three years a num ber of the formers in tho valley sec tion havo purchased hammer feed mills through which they grind much of their hay, grain and straw for winter feed. It Is stated by some that this method of preparing tho feed gives a much better chance for having a more balanced ration and In all Instances stock Is said to do much better than where they ure fed the rough hay and other feeds which have not been reduced to a more concentrated form. The finely ground feeds also are said to have another advantage the ability to store largo quantities In a comparatively small space and where good feeding troughs are available tho waste Is said to be almost entirely eliminated.

Chapter 6 WHAT THE LETTERS SAID IJERB, Superintendent Ulclimond considered, was a case wjiere It might, In the absence ot eye witnesses, prove dllUcult to brine the guilt home to any Individual. It might be possible to show that certain persons could have commit ted the crime, but the wider the possibility the less the certainty. The letters, Evelyn said, were in Duckworth delivered Duckworth's possession. Shortly after sho left at Richmond's request, to summon him, Duckworth came lu, looking tired and haggard, and delivered the envelopes, arranged In tlie ortlor received. Superintendent Richmond and Jlminlo scrutinized the letters closely. Thoy were rudely scrawled In printed characters on cheap note paper. The first was the longest and bore a postmark nearly live months old. You are a bail wlcliCd old womnn. You go 10 cliurcti. mil what do you ptay for. You ougtil to be nun nlsltcd.

Asldo from smudgler writing, the third was similar: Are you ready .10 die r The end Is near. You made otiieis safer and you sllull pay. You bensu The nest merely said: Psalms 69. 3. This means you. "What's the reference?" ques tioned Jlmmle. Old Annabille Uuerdllng had penciled It on the back: Let tttetn he blotted out of the book of the livlns and not be writ ten Willi the righteous.

That was the next letter, and the others continued tn the same vein Ulclimond said treating the linger prints of the letters bad been use less, since many persous had han dled them. At this point Duckworth suggested possibly the letters bad not nil been written by the satne person. "Doesn't help us much," muttered Klchmond. "When writing Is dls Ktilsed there are often differences. Then ho turned to Duckworth and asked him for particulars about himself. "She did not altogether like it,' was Duckworth's frank reply to the superintendent's question concern Ing Miss Ducrdllng's view ot her nlecos) engagement to him.

"What can I tell you!" he exclaimed Indignantly, and then, after Richmond explained his purpose ot clearing up the mystery, be said, "Ot course, I'll help you. That's what I came for.
