"We In this prospermia country

rible conditions existing among the
unfortunate children of certain Eur
' opean countries," write Gollehur.
"They lack not only clothe, but the
(lightest morsel of even coarse food.
Thousand are dying dally, and un
let the people of the United State
come to their rescue, the death will
rnn Into millions. Ton dollar will
permanently save the life of one of
these tots. To help them It a duty
we owe humanity In general. Evory
state In the union 1 doing Its ut
most to give succor, and Oregon
must live up to II previous good re
cord by responding liberally. The

Bald "I do."

OREGON
KL ROSENBERG
Dr. J. II. Rosenberg, of this city,
has been appointed by Governor 01
cott as one ot the three new mem
bers of the Bute Board of Health.
Other new members are Dr. C. J
Smith of Portland, and Dr. Geo. E.
Houck of Rosehurg. Their appoint
ments will become effective January
15th.
In: reference to Dr. Rosenberg's
appointment, the "Oregonlan" reads
as follows: "Dr. Rosenberg, who
succeed Dr. C. T. Bacon of 1-a
Grande, I well known throughout
the stale as a physician and surgeon.
He Is a graduate ot the University of
Oregon served during the war with
Germany, and is an active member
of the American Legion. He is also
president of the state association of
members of the board are
Dr. Andrew C. Smith of Portland,
Dr. W. F. Morse of Salem, and Dr.
F. M. Brooks of Portland.
IS
Storing space la at a premium at
the Ochoco Warehouse right now, ac
cording to Mrs. B. H. McMIckle, who
manages the local concern. At pres
ent fifty thousand sack ot grain are
stored op the main floor, almost fil
ling ail the available space. The
fact that it ia necessary to pile the
sack ceiling high shows that it is
extremely crowded, as it Is usually
considered proper only to stack it up
shoulder high on account of the dif
ficulty in handling. Mr. McMiekle
estimate that at least 10 000 sacks
of grain remain out on the segrega
tion because there Is no room for
storing it in the warehouse. Not
alone I the warehouse full, but it
has been necessary to pile grain on
the platform, which Is very undesir
able on account ot exposure. A car
load of Btock salt which is now beini;
un loaded is also piled there, and it
was necessary to construct bunkers
for coal recently ' received on the
platform. Mrs. McMiekle states that
the company could use space at least
100 feet long aded to the warehouse,
at the present time, and that unless
the grain now stored ( is removed be
fore long, that there will be abso
lutely no place to store the wool of
the coming season. At one time
last year, the wool crop completely
filled the warehouse.

SO. 17.
ill
As spring approaches and th pros
pect Improve for a large amount'ot
water for irrigation during th enr
rent year, farmer on the Ochoco
project are discussing more a a d
more the need for many small farm
Instead of the larger holdings on th
project.
The fact that the most successful
parts of the Powell Butte lrrigaU
sections are those where at forty-acr
farm is the rule, furnishes first hand
proof that the same sized tract ia
sufficient for the average settler on
the Ochoco project.
Conditions are satisfactory for
much smaller acreage and a more in
tensified care of them during th
coming year and the year that at
to fobow.
A drift toward dairying, poultry
and hogs, and like small farm activi
ties seems to be general, and this on
the irrigated lands coupled with the
beef and sheep interests in the rang
country to the south and east, will
make this one of the most prosper
ous countries in the state.
1020 BOUXTIES TOTAL 433.00
$4433 was collected from the treas
ury of Crook county by trapper for .
