from the waya into the Willamette,
which will soon cary the flour turn

are all patterned after the one built
by Chief Engineer Noah, recorded in
the Book of Genesis. It la also a re
markable fact that all the ships from
Noah's ark are duplicatea of the one
Mr. Noah constructed. Noah's ark
was made of Gopher wood and. pitch
ed within and without. Gopher wood
has often been identified with our
Cyprus, which is largely used in the
ships of our emergency fleet pro
gram. The shipbuilding Industry will
probably continue tor three or four
year and employ in Oregon alone at
least 20,000 men, and Portland was
never so prosperous as today. The
wagea paid the men are high and hun

USE POTATOES
-?t; INSTEAD OF BREAD
Braad Must Be Saved Potatoes Con
t in the Same Nutriment.
How many potatoes are you eating?
This Is a question the Food Adminis
tration wants every loyal American to
ask himself or herself. Strange aa it
may seem, the eating of potatoes at
this time la a practical war service,
according to a recent Food Adminis
tration balletin, which points out that
this nation now has a large potato
surplus on hand and that this valuable
food, unless eaten within the next two
months, will be lost through sprouting
and rotting. By eating of potatoes
liberally, every family can save a sub
stantial amount of other food, particu
larly of wheat By eating up the sur
plus of potatoes the nation will also
prevent serious loss to the potato
producer, who needs to be encouraged
to grow maximum crops during the
coming year. "
"Domestic science experts have fig
ured that: One ordinary baked potato
equals In nourishment one thick slice
of wheat bread. v
"Potatoes at one and one-half to two
cents a pound have more food value
than bread at ten cents a loaf.
"Potatoes are healthful. They im
prove the general tone of the system
by their wholesome action on the di
gestive organs. They are easiest on
the stomach of all vegetable foods.
They are easy on the .kidneys because
of the minimum of nitrogen they con
tain. They are easy on the Intestines
because of the tenderness and amall
proportion of their cellulose and the
tine division of starch.
"Potatoes are valuable in the diet of
the sick. They can be eaten with
benefit by people suffering from dys
pepsia, anemia, diabetes, Bright's dis
ease, cardiac affections, intestinal
troubles, constipation, hyperacidity,
artiritis, gout, liver complaints, etc.
"Always serve potatoes with meat,"
concludes the Food Administration
bulletin.1 "Never serve bread and po
tatoes."
West Point is os n food-conservation
basis, and the health of the cadet
corps is better than ever. All bread
used is composed of 45 per cent wheat
flour, 45 rye, and 10 per cent white
bolted grain flour; and many cadets
consider it superior to the former
white bread. Sugar consumption has
been, cut down, meatless days and
meals are rigidly observed, and the
reduced amount of meat haa been
beneficial to health. A lesson from a
reliable source.
Taking It From Babies.
"Every ounce. of wheat products in

WILLIAMSON SELLS
LANDSAND SHEEP
BUYERS INCLUDE E. L. A8HBY,'
W. LEDFORD, T. H. LAFOLLETTB
42 YEARS CONTINUOUS WORK
Retains 6,000 Acres of Ochoco Valley
Property And 8,000 Fine Ewea
To Stock Tills Ranch
One of the largest, if not tbe larg
est, land and livestock transfers that
has ever been transacted In Crook
County, occurred yesterday when J.
N. Williamson disposed of most of
his holdings to E. L. Ashby, Wm.
Led ford, and T. H. Lafollette.
The deal included 'the Riverside
property of about 22,000 acres stock
ed with sheep, horses and cattle,
and all the range lands tributary to
it. This part of the property goes to
R. L. Ashby and Wm. Ledtord. The
latter gets the Horse Heaven inter
ests also.
T. H. Lafollette purchased about
600 acres of land near Lookout
mountain.
Mr. Williamson came to " Crook
county in '78, a young man Just out
of college, for the benefit of his
health and expected to stay just a
short time. He accepted a position
with B. F. Allen as sheepherdsr at
$25 per month, which position he
held for some time. Later he and
Mr. Allen were partners in the sheep
business for several years. Without
a friend and practically no finances
upon his arival here, Mr. Williamson
advanced from a 225 a month sheep
berde to a prominent place under the
great white dome at Washington,
D. C. Aside from his sojourn at the
Capital as Representative, he haa
been handling sheep here for tbe past
42 years, and during that time it ia
safe to say that he has handled more
sheep than any other man in Oregon.
Mr. Williamson retains some of his
Ochoco Valley property, consisting of
6,000 acres and 2,000 tine ewes with
which to stock this place. He ex
pects to run the ranch himself, and
jokingly refers to this aa his "Old
Man Job." However, he is far from
old in appearance, -with-a wonderful
vitality, and deeply magnetic person
ality, one might say he was 63 year
young. He haa had a varied and suc
cessful career, and although most
men of his circumstances would re
tire, he has no intention of doing any
thing like that. Instead he will con
tine operating his "small" ranch of
6,000 acres near Prlneville. ,
