PACE 4 CROOK COUNTY JOURNAL A Distinctive Reason What is the chief reason for the superi ority of Royal Baking Powder? There are several good reasons, but there is one which distinguishes Royal from other baking powders. This reason, which every woman should know, is that Royal Baking Powder is made from cream of tartar, which comes from grapes. This means a healthful fruit origin. It means natural food as distinguished from mineral substitutes used in other baking powders. There is no alum nor phosphate in Royal Baking Powder. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO New York Georjte C.

Fruits in Season, Cold Drinks, Ice Cream LIGHT LUNCHES A SPECIALTY London. Successful resumption b) the Russians of their offensive In Gal icia draws attention anew to the east ern war theater, in which the opera tions have been apparently of com paratively small Importance since Gen eral Brussiloff's drive for Lemberg was held up some time ago. Berlin and Vienna concede that ad vantages have been gained by the Rus sians, who are attacking from both northeast and southeast of the Galicl an capital and have gained ground south of Brzezany In the latter district and along the lirody-Zlocboft road in the former. On the southeastern front In Mace donia, the British have maintained the advances scored in their attack Satur day near the Struma, beating off Bul garian counter attacks and retaining the two villages captured along the road to Seres. The forward movement along the Struma synchronizes with a Serbian success on the westerly Macedonian front. The long continued struggle in the Kiamakcalan district has result ed in the Serbians not only securing possesnion of the principal heights jon the region southeast of Monastir, but in an advance of more than a mile north of the min peak where the vil lage of Kotchovie has been taken. Recent operations by the French along the Somme front appear to have been mostly in the nature of minor attacks, probably preparatory to some larger movement in the Peronne re gion, while the British main effort has been direclod to the thrust, toward Ha paume along the road from Pozleres, where an advance on the front of more than a mile and a half was announced by London. i We Want Your Tire Business You Want Our Tire Service We are Agents for ear AND Goodrich Hires Why not Make Your Mileage Adjustments Here Which You Can Do by Dealing With UsSend Us Your Vulcan izing, Battery and Electrical Work Inland Auto Co. Prineville, Oregon Revenues of the Southern Pacific company for the fiscal year ended June 30 were the largest In the his tory of the company, according to the annual report to the stockholders. The gross earnings during the year were $152,694,228.19. surpassing the previ ous high record of 1913 by nearly $10,000,000, and an Increase of $22, 828,553.10 over last year. The state board of control has ap pointed Bishop W. T. Sumner. ex Unl ted States Senator Fred W. Mulkey and j. J.' Wentworth, representative in the legislature from Multnomah county, all of Portland, as members of the commission to investigate con ditions at the state prison and make recommendations as to segregation, new bulidlngg and other 'matters. fc-xperirnents In the culture of broom corn, conducted at Albany and Oregon City for the last two years, have satisfied L. B. Agsten that this crop can be made a profitable addition to the state's agricultural resources. Mr. Agsten now has between 15 and 20 acres of broom corn ripening at Oregon City, which he believes will yield him between three end four tons, The state board of control has In structed Secretary Goodln to notify the California Cotton mills, of Oak land, that it would dispose of the state's crop of flax tow for 7 cents a pound, r. O. B. Salem. It Is estimated there will be 50,000 pounds of tow available for sale. The California Cot ton mills recently offered to buy the state's crop of scutched flax for $440 a ton. Announcement of the purchase of about 330,000,000 feet of tlmher In the Oregon national forest from the government for $350,000 has been made by John W. Palmer, a Hood River orchard owner and former pres ident of the Western Lumber com pany. The timber Is chiefly Douglas fir and lies on the upper west fork of Hood river. A mill, with a capacity of 200,000 feet, dally, will be built to handle the output. It appears to be extremely probable that Oregon will not be able to draw this year the $70,000 which has been apportioned as her share of the feder al appropriation under the federal aid road act which became a law last July. This Is because of the inability of the state highway commission to meet the requirement of the department of agri culture that a concrete plan of high way Improvement be submitted cover ing the five-year period during which federal aid is to be extended.
