Eugene Registor: Tho busy, thriving city of Med ford has a gravity system, but the fatal mistake was made in tak ing water from a small, inadequate stream, with the result that the creek is comparatively dry, the eity without fire protection and now nt a big ex pense tho city is compelled to hunt a now source of suply. Hie Albany Herald quotes Mrs. V. D. Allen of Modford, who is visiting Albany friends, and from information received from her, speaks of thesitr.a tion in her home town ns follows: Med ford has voted bonds for the establishing of n thorough wator plant, and they of the thriving city are doing their utmost to complete the samf. 'At this time they see tho necessity of a permanent water supply. Tliey are without this important factor at present. Deer creek is dry and as that was the only source for water, it leaves Med ford in rather a difficult position. Mrs. W. D. Allen, who ar rived in town from Modford, states that she came to see Mr.' and Mrs. Itoberts of Linn & Benton real estate firm, and not on account of the shortage of water at her home town." From the above it will be seen that Deer creek has been a "dear" exper- nce to Med ford, ;mst as liitchev creek wil prove to the people of Eugene if relied upon as a source of our wator supply.

COSS The losses to the cattle men in the western states from larkspur poisoning every year hnve been so serious that the government is making a serious effort to find an antedote for tho poison, as well as to eradicate the plant itself. In the Gunnison National forest, Col orado, the losses to the stockmen last season from larkspur were conserva tively estimnted to equal almost five per cent of the total number of cattle grazed upon that forest. Its effects are almost immedinte. Death follows the eating of the plant within a few hours, For this reason remedies are of little avail, because the animals are generaally dead before they are discovered. Experts from the bureau of plant industry, in cooperation with tho for est service, hnve made careful and painstaking investigations in the field, with a view of lessening the losses as far as posible, while nevernl different plans have ben tried in hopes of com pletely destroying the plant.
