RED CROSS NOTES
Prisoners Form Auxiliary Bums
Chapter Authorized Gigantic
Tasks Ahead for Yorkers
(U. of 0. News Bulletin)
While many persons in fortunate
circumstances have failed tr. cooper
ate in the work of the Red Cross, an
example has been set by 129 inmates
of the Oregon State Penitentiary at
Salem, who have joined the order,
paying the regular.initiation feo of $1
each. "Their membership involves a
personal sacrifice in almost every
case," said Mrs. Etta Squier Seley, of
the Willamette chapter, "and they de
serve high commendation."
Willamette chapter, of Salem, the
largest in Oregon, has shown phenom
enal growth, until its membership is
now in excess of 6,200. The chapter
has 120 auxiiaries.
The chapter at Burns, covering Har
ney county, has received official re
cognition. "
The total membership in the state
is estimated at not less than 20,000.
Magnitude of the worK faced by the
American Red Cross is indicated by
the request sent out by Eliot Wads
worth, acting chairman of the Ameri
can Red Cross at Washington, D. C,
for supplies to be sent abroad. Among
the articles listed ns needed are
350,000 bath robes or convalescent
gowns.
100,000 pairs bed socks.
700,000 handkerchiefs.
050,000 hospital bed shirts.
450,000 suits pajamas.
300,000 shoulder wraps.
800,000 pairs socks.
250,000 pairs ward slippers.
It is urged also that the supply of
bandages and surgical dressings be
not allowed to fall off. All chapters
are urged to cooperate in supplying
this needed equipment.
Good Fruit Season.
Every indication points to. a bump
er crop of all kinds of fruit in the Pay
ette Valley this season, says the Pay
ette Enterprise.

Flowing Well at 52 Feet.
O. F. Right completed another well
last week for A. H. Altnow.at a
depth of 62 feet. The water 'rises
about two feet above the ground and
flows about an M in. continuous
stream. It is soft water and just cool
enough for drinking purposes. Al
bert was always a lucky fellow and
this flowing well removes the cost of
pumps and elbow grease in securing
water. Drewsey Sun.
Stay in School, Says Governor.
University of Oregon, Eugene. In

school students of Oregon, Governor
James Withycombe and Superintend
ent Churchill of the state schools, urg

cil of national defense, Secretary of
War Baker and President Wilson.
New Bank Building Occupied.
The Crane State Bank moved into
its handsome new building Monday,
thus establishing in modern quarters
an institution destined to be a prime
factor in the upbuilding of Crane as a
business center. Located on the cor

brick structure presents an imposing
ippcarance and is a credit to this
gowing city as well as to the promo
ters of the bank. Crane American.

Recommends Jackrabbit Menu..
It seems to The Sportsman that the
high cost of living could be material
ly reduced in the .Eastern Oregon
country. There is good meat running
Iround wild in that part of Oregon in

erabundant that the natives declare

Used Nest 14 Years.
Albert Altnow, of Drewsey, Harney
County, built his home some fourteen
years ago. The first spring a flycatch
er (says Phoebe) built its nest on the
beam over the front uoor. The same
nest has been used every year 'since
that time, the birds adding a little to
the structure each season. Mr. Alt
now thinks it is the same pair of phoe
bes that have been there, at least for
several years, as the birds are not at
all scary when any members of ;the
family approach, but as soonas" a
stranger comes near they fly away.r

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Three strong reasons urge you to buy the Ford car:
First, because of its roitl of satisfactory service to
more than fifteen hundred thousand owners; Second,
because of the reliab'lity of the Company which
makes it; Third, becausu of its large radiator and en
closed fan. streamline t-W, crown fenders front and
rear, black finish, nickr' trimmings, it is most at
tractive in appearance, "o these must be added its
wonderful economy in op-ration and maintenance
about two cents a mile; lik wise the fact that by rea
son of its simplicity in construction anyone can op
erate and care for it. Nine thousand Ford agents
make Ford servico as universal as the car. Touring

Idaho Favors Dairying.
That alfalfa is tho best hay for
dairy cattle has been demonstrated
time and again. That it can be grown
in southwestern Idaho in greater yield
and at less cost than elsewhere is also
a fact known to many people. That
corn for the silo can not be grown so
well or at same cost, in Nebraska,
Iowa or Illinois as is grown here, is
also a demonstrated fact. The amount
of feed consumed by a cow or beef
steer, in the middle west, to combat
the winter cold, is more than double
the amount required here for the same
purpose. Numpa Record.
Largest Private System.
The largest individual irrigation
system existing in Oregon is said to
belong to Jim Manon, 23 miles south
west of Crane. Mr. Mahon stated
while in this city the other day that
although the full quota of acres were
not being irrigated at the present time
he has a supply of water sufficient to
irrigate 2500 acres. The Mahon ranch
comprises some C000 acres of rich soil,
and the owner is an enthusiast on ir
rigating at least a. portion of this
largo tract. Crane American.
Several large silos arc under course
of construction on the farms near Par
ma this summer. W. B. Mitchell
started Friday the building of tho sec
ond silo on his farm. Mr. Mitchell
built one last year and found that by
his sptring it had paid for itself. The
new silo is to be 12x30 feet, to hold
about 75 tons of ensilage. The silos
are of the modified Wisconsin type, as
recommended by the department of
agriculture. Mr. Mitchell has found
this type particularly adapted to the
needs of this locality.
J. L. Watkins, who lives three-
fourths of a mile west "of Mr. Mitch
ell, is building to .silos of the same
type, both 10x40 feet. Mr. Watkins,
who is a cattle raiser shipping from
one to five carloads of cattle each sea-,
son, wifl put up about 300 tons of en
silage. He finds this food puts,, the
cattle into fine condition. - ;

McConnell Hopes to Have Water on
Lands of Proposed District by
Next Year
Tho preliminary work of organiz
ing an irrigation district composed of
the land owners using waters from the
Silvies river, Foley slough and Poison
creek is so far completed that a peti
tion asking the county court to desig
nate the district, has been circulated
and signed by the majority landhold
ers of the proposed district, reports
the Harney County Tribune.
For some months work has quietly
been proceeding with the formation of
this district which will mean a great
er development of the lands ndiaccnt
to the city of Burns and will reclaim
approximately 44,000 acres of the fin
est land in the Harney valley.
The district proposed is but .the
first unit in the reclamation of, tho
lands of Harney county and will be
followed by the enlargement of the
Irrigated area that will make this
section second to none in the produc
tion of irrigated crops. For several
years Mr. McConnell and his associ
ates have been working out tho pre
liminary steps in this project and have
30 far succeeded that the financing of
the project has already been promised
and the money will be forthcoming as
soon as the district is organized. .
It is the plan of those who are de
voting their time to the organization
of the district to have water available
for irrigation purposes next year. The
project will not only provide watcrjfor
the lands when needed, but will, also
.control the flood waters that cover, the
valley in the spring doing great dam
age to the crops.
The formation of the district to re
claim the lands of the Harney valley
is the greatest move in the develop
mcnt of Central Oregon that has been
proposed and, without doubt, will do
more for the prosperity of this section
than anything else ever attemptcd.tTo
those who labored incessantly for 'the
welfare of the community much cre
dit belongs. To those who havo wait
ed many years for tho reclamation
tho valley they are on the eve of see
ing their dreams como true. 'J( ,
