tniTORH URGED TO JOIN.
IN FARM AD CAMPAIGN
That a field for farm advertising
opened up In Oregon with even more
pi of It to farmers than publishers was
told by C. J. Mcintosh, agricultural
press editor at O. A. C, to the State
Editorial association.
"The average farm yields annual
ly at least $200 worth of produce
that could be marketed mora profit
ably through advertisements In the.
community press than In any other
way," he said. "This would be $!
100,000 value ot this class ot produce
for the near 50,000 farms In tho
stste.
' "Big business slows not less than
S per cent gross sale for advertis
ing, and this basis would call tor tho
use of $30,000 for local advertising.
The grower ot the produce, the con
sumer and the press would benefit
from this practice. No legitimate
business would suffer."
The speaker aatd that the college
had already taken this cause up wtlh
farmers' organizations and Individ
ual farmers, and that the farmers
nere ready to give the plan a trial
to a much greater extent than before.
"A pumber ot editors have already
built up a big advertising trad with
their farm patrons," Mr. Mcintosh
in extending the practice promises
plendld result.
The college I considering th ad
visability ot Issuing a bulletin on the
Advantage and methods of farm ad
vertising. V
Those present were, Veva Shattuck

Fern Adamson, Charles Abbott, Hen

nerved which were enjoyed greatly
by the little folks.
0. M. Cornett who purchaaed the
Hrulih Bros, mill at Orlsily bas or
ganised a company to operate the
plant and expects to have It In oper
ation some time this week. Mr.
Cornett bas recently shipped In an
engine, boiler, end other equipment
which are now being Installed. This
with the original mill will comprise
two complete power plants. The
tlmntod capacity will bo 26,000 foot
a day.
A lath mill is also being built. The
plant will be locatnd one mile from
the former site and approximately
three nillos from the Grizzly Post
Office. ,
J. F. Btelntorf, who will be associa
ted with Mr. Cornett In the enter
prise and who will assist in superin
tending the operation of the plant,
recently arrived in Prlnevllle from
the Imperial Valley, He has owned
and msnsged a lumber yard In Cal
txlco, Cel., for several years and is
sn experienced lumberman.
100,000 feet of lumber Is ready
for shipment and awaiting the com
pletion of the siding which la being
built from the Prlnevllle Ry., three
miles from the city. Work on this
siding will be delsyed until the rails
arrive.
This firm bas a body ot timber
3000 acres In extent, which will cut
considerably over S, 000,000 feet of
lumber. They already have ordeis
booked ahead which will Insure a
steady run for a year, and expect to
continue to land further big con
tracts, They Inform ns that the es
tablishment of another mill at the
siding Is already a part of the plans
for the near future, and that In all
likelihood the present plant will be
put on a nlgbt and day basis. A. W.
Btelntorf and H. O. Malson have
taken over part of the work of the
concern, and will add greatly to the
management, both being thoroughly
conversant with the lumber business.
This Is but one ot the solid new
Industries to be launched In and

continue the work on a peace time
basis.
Mr. Marvin Sktpworth, chairman,

U) ton, H. Baldwin E. J. Wilson mes

I. W. Dishman and J. H. Rosenberg,
This action of the board will en
able the chapter to keep the money
on hand now in our own Chap
ter treasury to be used tor the bene
fit of our own people. .
Had the Chapter voted to surrender
He charter and discontinue Its re
lief work, the money on hand would
have to be sent to Division Head-.
quarters in Seattle.
. Acting upon instructions from Div-
Ifcitn office it was decided to send
tbe newly elected secretary to
Seattle to take special training lit
the work.. After her return she
will study tbe local situation and

program embodying recommends
tions-for future activities.

day.
The State Highway Commission, at
Its meeting In Portland last week
opened bids for the four bridges on
the Crooked River Highway in this
county. The lowest bid was about
fifteen thousand dollars higher than
the estimate of th bridge depart
ment of the commission, and the
I'lili were all rejected. In this con
nection, however, the Commission
oidered the bridge engineer to con
struct the bridge at the James Cram
ranch by fore account In this way
thn road at the Davis ranch to the
Msyfield ranch will be available for
this coming winter, but the Com
mission decided that the remaining
fcur bridges would not be re-ndver-tlsed
until next spring, and possibly
net until the County is In position to
take care of the money heretofore
f ledged on the two contracts. The
grading on th portion of the road
from the Mayfleld ranch to Prlne
vllle will continue. There is no prob
ability that any of the contract
work on the Redmond road will be
discontinued, but Is Just possible
thst the contract for graveling from
the Still ranch to the Deschutes
county line will go over until some
time later, and even this work may
go over until next year.

OIL WELL PROSPECTS
STILL ENCOURAGING
The writer was one cf a party to
i visit the Dog Mountain oil well last
j Monday, The workmen had shut
down for the day before the party
a: rived but they were shown over
the works by Mr. Arthur Hahn, one
of the faithful men who has been at
the well tor several years.
The workmen had been bailing
cut the water the day we were there.
The pressure on the drilling appara
tus was such as to indicate there was
too much resistance and they were
curious to know . what the result
would be should several hundred feet
of water be bailed out. This had not
been done in many months; in fact
the water had been a source ot de
lay for a long time up until recently
when they succeeded ,ln shutting It
off. Following this process a large
quantity was allowed to remain in
the well and drilling resumed. The

down for some depth, but just a
short time before our visit the cas
ing had been anchored and the drill
had penetrated to a depth of some
12 feet below.
' Later information Is to the effect
thst they had bailed out all but about
60 feet of the water and were pro
ceeding to drill, . but Wednesday
night the water rushed in again and
it was necessary to again put down
casing and shut it oft. This was suc
cessfully done and the workmen wilt
again resume drilling.
Considerable encouragement is
given from the fact that the gas es
caping from the well is greater at
tl.ls time than ever before. Each
bucket that Is brought from the bot
tom of the well contains sufficient to
lif ht and burn. It is believed from
Oils demonstration that they have
not passed the flow they were seek
ing and indicates it Is deeper. They
are going after it. Burn Times-Herald.
A fire on Grizzly mountain, thot
to be at the Cornett Mill occured on
logging operations of O. M. Cornett
and Smith Bros. The Are started la
the logging works and spread very
rapidly in the dry timber, but after
reaching the green timber was
promptly brought nnder control, by
several of the men sent out by th
local Forestry office.
Not a great deal of damage was
done, the fire burning over some of
tho down timber, but was kept oat
of - the logging equipment and oc
cured at quite a distance from th
mill. Altogether, about 0 acres of
timber was burned, belonging to
Smith Brothers.
