not enough truant officers have been

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.

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.
