chased by the
Falrvlow Stock Farm
last week.
Three years ago Mr. Dealy pur
chased a thousand ewes from Al
Jones for five thousand dollars.
Last year the Falrvlew Stock
Farm purchased all of Mr. Dcaly's
wool and also all the original ewes
which Mr. Dealy had purchased the
year before.
This year they contracted for all
the yearling and two-year-old weth
ers and all of Mr. Dealy's wool.
Last week all the sheep left were
contracted for to be used for breed
lug purposes.
Out of the original $5,000 invest
ment, Mr. Dealy has cleared over
$13,000 during the last three years
with his sheep.
This goes to show what can be
done when a man selects the right
stuff to start with, uses care and
Judgment in breeding, and takes
care of his stock.
That sheep are the best possible
Investment even now can be seen
when one stops to think that even
though they may cost $16 per head
this full, one can got from 45 cents
to 60 cents per pound for wool
each sheep shearing in the vicinity
of eight pounds and the lambs'
next year will sell at about $7 each.
Mr. Nichols, acting tor the Fair

six hundred wethers from Morrow
& Keenan who are large stock
ranchers In the Willow Creek
country.
dlers incapacitated for former em
ployment will be organized by the
Red Cross. The mother who has
given up her boy, her support, to
the service of his country, will find
her necessities cared for by the Red
Cross and he can march away with
no anxious thought as to her wel
fare. The training of Red Cross nurses
is under Red Cross direction. Thus
all along the line the Universal
Service of Mercy helps to lessen the
horrors and rigors of war and to
strengthen the nation. The United
States cannot do its part without
the Red Cross and the Red Cross is
dopendent on the contributions of
those who want to help win the war
but cannot serve at the front.
, Anyone interested in assisting or
becoming a member of the Navy
League should call upon or tele
phone Mrs. Thos. Sharp for in
structions. Ten ladies are sufficient
to organize a league, and the pur
pose of the organizations is to knit
various articles that are of great
value to the men in the navy.

IMMEDIATE RELIEF PROMISED
USERS OF BEAR CREEK ROAD
Commissioner Lathy Outlines Plan
County Court In Full Accord
(By Albert Schreder) .
That relief Is Imperative for users
of the Bear Creek road Is known by
the County Court and plans are be-
lng rushed so that the summer trav
el can get the benefit of it.
The Court Is not antagonistic to
road improvement in this section of
the county, as many people believe,
but desires to expend the money in
the way that will do the most peo
ple the most good.
It is recognized by practically all
that money expended on Juniper
Canyon Is money 'wasted. The only
thing that could be done would be
to build a new grade which would
take far moia money than the coun
ty could expend at this stage of the
game. '-'
Commissioner Ernest T. Luthy
has been working on this problem
and announces that a grade can be
built up the old Dry Creek grade at
a cost of approximately three hun
dred dollars which will eliminate
the Juniper Canyon road and make
an easy grade free from rocks.
The plan as outlined by Commis
sioner Luthy is to take the Juniper
Canyon road to the sign board
which directs one to the Dry Creek
road.
The road then will follow this
course to the top of the grade com
ing out near the Bundy place.
It will then follow due south
along the section line, make the
turn around the hill and follow
east between the- Gibson and Rob
erts place joining the present Bear
Creek road at the turn near La-
Pard's.
The distance to town from La-
Pard s over the proposed road will
be practically the same as at pres
ent over the old road.
fractlcatty the entire distance up
this grade can be run in a Ford car
on high gear, as most of it is about
a four per cent grade.
tseiore anytning can be done on
this road the notices must be posted
for twenty days. This is being done
now. The hearing is set for the!
next term of court which will be on
Thursday, July 5.
About all that will be necessary
then will be to run a grader over
this road and pick out the rocks.
This, Mr. Luthy estimates, will take
about a week. The road will then
be open for travel. The rocks are
now being picked out of the road
between the Mayfleld ranch and the
LaPard place.
Once this road is opened the pres
ent mall route can be changed and a
Star 'Route can be given to all the
patrons of Dry Creek along this

Crook County Must Do Her Bit III
KaixliiK the InimeiiKe Fund
For the Red Cross
Just as the final echoes of the
Liberty Loan campaign are dying:
away, people are being organized
for a campaign that will reach every
community In the county to secure
members and raise funds for the
Red Cross.
Our people are awakening to tba
fact that we are at war, that mil
lions of American lives will be
jeopardized in the trenches of
Europe during the next few months,
and that many of these may be
saved by a liberal organization of
the Red Cross society.
There are about 300,000 mem
bers of this organization in America
today, and this should be increased
to 10,000,000.
You are asked to enlist in the
work of saving lives and this does)
not mean the lives of other nations)
bnt lives of Americans, Oregon boys.
Crook County boys, perhaps mem
bers of your own family, at least
members of the community in wbicll
you live. . '
