befallen him. He is a small man,
smooth shaven, about 60 years of
age, and his hair Is quite gray. He
has been a resident of this county
for the past forty years, and has
many relatives and a wide circle of
friends.

OPPORTUNITIES IN THE ENGINEER ENLISTED
RESERVE CORPS OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY
The Engineer Corps In our army corresponds to tho fa
mous Royal Engineers of the British army, that branch of
the service which builds roads and bridges, fortifications for
defense and tunnels for offense, and various other duties. To
them is due the wonderful system of fleld-fortifications that
enabled the British to withstand the enemy's onslaught during
the last two years and a half. The United States of America
is now at war and there is no time to train engineers for such
work; the men of the Engineer Corps for the new armies must
bo taken from the ranks of civil, mining, mechanical, and
electrical engineers, as well as machinists and other skilled
trades.
The Engineer Corps of the army needs topographical sur
veyors, sketchers, and instrument-men for the highly important
technical work of maKing contoured military maps of the field
of war, laying out battle positions, roads and highways, Bys
teniB of trenches, and drainage lines.
Topographical draftsmen are wanted to trace the field
maps o' surveyors. Mechanical draftsmen will find employ
ment in making drawings of armored trains, armored trucks,
and other mechanical devices used in war. Photographers are
needed for the reproduction of maps In connection with
photographic surveys.
Lithographers, zincogrsphors, blueprint-men, and others
skilled in tne various processes of reproducing photographs and
drawings, are required to reproduce and publish engineer-maps
of battlefields and the general theatre of war operations.
Miners and quarry-men skilled in handling explosives and
in underground-mining form one of the most Important ele
ments in the personnel of the Engineer Corps. The engineers
dig the tunnels under the enemey's trenches and destroy them
with dynamite and other high explosives. They dig the un
derground galleries and bomb-proofs that conceal and protect
the armies occupying their own trenches.
The classes of men required may be briefly summarized
as follows:
Topographical surveyors and sketchers, including instrument-men;
draftsmen, topographical and mechanical; photog
raphers and blue-print men; lithographers and zincographers;
quarry-men (skilled in explosives); miners; Bkilled carpenters;
bridge-carpenters; blacksmiths; plumbers and pipe-fitters; elec
tricians: Englnemen, steam; engiuemen, gas; firemen; ma
chinists; masons; caulkers; riggers; expert axe-men; boat
men; horse-shoers; farriers; packers; teamsters; saddlers;
cooks; assistant coolis; clerks; musicians; signal-men as re
quired by Army Regulations.
The War Department desires to secure immediately a
large enrollment of enliBted men in this Corps. All enrollments
are desided for war service and none will be accepted for less
than the period of the War.
Suitable men are urgod to make application, either by
mail or in person, to one of the following officers:
District Engineer Officer, 602 Burke Bldg, Seattle.
District Engineer Officer, First District, 806 Couch Bldg.,
Portland.
District Engineer Officer, Second District, 321 Custom
House, Portland.
or, to any officer of the Engineer Section of the Reserve Corps,
who have already been commissioned or recommended for com
mission, all of whom are authorized to secure applications.

to The report of the First Central
Oregon Cow Testing Association for
February and March becomes inter
esting on study to all dairymen la
this section. The association tester,
Mr. C. H. Roseman, lists those cows
producing above 40 pounds of butter
fat a month on the honor roll. In
February but thirteen cows, or
per cent of those tested made more
than 40 pounds of fat for their own
ers. This above all things surely
indicates the great work the associa
tion is doing and the necessity of
its existence as a factor in improv
ing the herds of Central Oregon.

SPRINGER RANCH SOLD
Judge No Longer Owns Jefferson
County Lands ,
Judge G, Springer has sold his
lands in Jefferson County and will
have no interest in Jefferson County
in the future.
This may clarify the political situ
ation in respect to the Judge, but
the land was sold to Commissioner
J. F. Blanchard.
Whether Mr. Blanchard will take
up his residence In Jefferson County
and is he entitled to the office of
commissioner are new questions for
the consideration of those who are
not too busy with more important
things.

WILL TAKE EXAMINATIONS
It is interesting to note that while
many grade cows produced as much,
or even more than some with pure
blood in their veins, the tendency
is always In favor of the registered
cow, which on the average holds the
higher record. Mr. Maddox's cow
holds the most sensational record,
making 80.2 lbs. or just twice that
of the last cow on the list. White
she did not produce as many pounds
as ,the next three Holsteins her av
erage percent of fat was the excep
tional 7.8 percent. The average per
cent is higher In every case wit,
the Jerseys, but the Holsteins of
Mr. McCall by the preponderance of
milk produced, made their owner
from 100 to 235 lbs. of fat.
In reviewing the March honor roll
it at once becomes interesting to
note the majority of cows making
over 1000 lbs. of milk and one
Holstein nearly reached the ton
mark. The following is the Marcn
roll:
