AN OWNER IS
WANTED
Sheriff Ben Brown is in receipt
the following letter:
Wcavervllle, Cal., April 22. Dear
Sir: On March 6, 1916, thelremains
of a human skeleton was found near
the Hammer Mine on tho South Fork
of tho Trinity River in this county,
the only marks of identification which
we had to work on was a map of Ore
gon on which was written tho address
of Wm. Haggc, advertising found Mr.
Hagge, who stated that ho had given
this map to a man by the name of
Howard Richardson, further advertis
ing found Mr. Richardson, I now have
before me a letter from him, Mr. Rich'
ardson, stating that he gave the map
to a man by the name of Iven McKay
also that McKay stated to him that
ho was from Malheur county, Oregon
the descriptions given by Richardson
tally with the dead man's remains and
I have reason to believe that the re
mains aro that of Iven McKay.
you ever knew of a man by that name
in your county or know of any of h
relatives kindly notify them of the
facts, in order that we clear up this
matter as near as possible.
Thanking you in advance,
I am very sincerely yours,
W. R. BIGELOW, Sheriff,
By Jno. A. Molin, Deputy,
BEGIN SWATTING THE
FLIES NOW
The Civic Improvement Club hav
ing demonstrated for three years
showing conclusively that tho fly pest
may be abated to a great extent, ron
dering life moro pleasant and the
town more sanitary desires to call at
tention to the fact that now is the
time to commence an active campaign
against this nuisance.
Tho club advises tho immediate use
of fly traps or any other method o
destroying flics which may bo suita
ble to the individual.
One fly now is worth a trap full in
August
Tho Club will not buy flics this
year. The advantages gained and de
monstration of tho past should be suf
ficient inducement. It is the people
of tho town who must furnish the
money and it should now be applied
individually.
Cleaning up garbngo and rubbish
keeping down tho dust will help im
mensely. Tho merchants and busi
ness men have responded freely with
funds and help in tho past and the
club hopes that they will now SWAT
THE FLY in every way possible.
There aro times when life seems
somewhat hard and rough, but there
is consolation in the thought that few
men get tho worst of it in their ob
ituaries.
While confidence is n great institu
tion, n lot of mistakes aro based on
being too sure.

they want a commission on f per cent
money; then they come down to four
per cent on tho faco and with one of
most complicated enactments ever
proposed, as well as the most cxpen
ive, when it is considered tho amount
of actual business transacted is less
than 1 per cent of a commercial bank
with tho samo capital and the five per
cent bonus still tneked on, but with
tho possible chanco that thoy may
pay it back when tho borrower has
settled in full.

heard his explanation of tho operation
of tho bill and it certainly is so, with
as much complication as ingenuity.

Problem of Farm Credits
- (Continued from page 1.)
to realise from the enterprise invest-
ed in. If for fertilizer to be used in
one year, repay in one year. If for
a silo to last ten years, arrange to
repay in ten years. If for a har
vester for several grain crops, each
crop should bear its share of both
principal and interest.
The length of time a debt is to run
should have a close relation to the
productive life of tho improvement for
which the money is borrowed.
Provision should be made in long
time loans for the gradual reduction
of the principal. This may be done
by partial payments, or by fixed an
nual or semi-annual payments for a
certain definite period of time, at the
expiration of which the indebtedness
is cancelled. This is known as the
amortization method, and Dr. Carver's
bulletin contains a number of tables
illustrating this method.
Rates of interest should be as low
as it is possible to secure.
The rate of interest depends upon
demand and supply the same as nil
other prices.
It a community borrows only for
productive purposes, pays interest and
principal promptly, does not denounce
or harass lenders or hold them up to
public hatred, tho supply of loanable
capital will increase and rates will
decrease.
Farmers havo it in their power to
provide means which will bring about
improved conditions, but to do so must
first realize these truths. The good
character of the borrower is better se
curity than the value of his land. A
reputation for prompt 'payment with
out suit is of mqrc influence than
bountcus crops. That is why there
is plenty of capital to loan where
rates are low and little to loan where
rates arc high.
One farmer can not accomplish
much alone, but ton working together
in a group can do much. If a com
munity does not have ten men who
have confidence enough in one another
to cooperate, then it can not be ex
pected that money lenders can be
found who have confidence enough in'
tho community to risk their funds.
Much has been said about the co
operative credit organizations of oth
er countries. One fact which has nev
er been sufficiently emphasized, and
which can not be too much emphasiz
ed, is that these cooperative credit
societies refuse credit quite as often
ns they give it, and they refuse credit
not simply on the ground that the
would-be borrower has not security
to give, but equally on the ground
that they do not think it would pay
him to borrow. That is, he has no
investment which, in the opinion of
the directors, will be profitable to him
If his investment is unprofitable, the
chances are that he will bo unable to
pay back a loan, and thus it would be
unsafe. And, what is more important,
even if he were able to pay it back.
he would be poorer instead of richer
by reason of the loan. The fact that
the directors of one of these coopera
tive banks have to discuss the pur
pose for which the borrower wishes
to borrow, and to decide whether or
not it will probably turn out to bo a
pood investment for the borrower.
not only protects the borrower against
himself but educates all the members
of the society. That is to say, it com
pels them to discuss very carefully
the probable results of all the classes
of small investments, and this discus
sion itself is one of the most valuable
kinds of business education.
Note. Arrangements have been
made with the Department of Agri
culture to distribute 10,000 copies of
Dr. Carver's bulletin, No. 693, among
the water users receiving the Recla
mation Record, but any one can get
one by sending to the Department.
