Bounty Club a great success; many animals being killed. The cost to each member per animal scalp has been about 7 cents; looks like It will soon be 5 cents. Remember, the more scalps we can encourage to be taken this winter the less there will be to take l iter on, and the leas destruction there will be to stock and game; therefore, assessments are the life-blood of the Hub. Look for another one soon, ye hundred members. We hear of many creamery grafts htely on the co-operative plan. Our i rojectors Bhould by all means see to k that ours be not so manipulated as to give swill for dividends and some :ne walk off with the cream, leaving the cows to switching files for their i art In the program. , This is a good time of the year to ake the team out along the road with . log chain and pull out the "sweet rlers"; they are getting too good a tart already In many places. Super lsors should pay more attention to le real part of this business and let le farmers look after those "stickers" a tholr pastures. George H. Nlcolal was elected prest- ent of the Molalla Mutual Telephone .ssoclatlon for 1907, at a recent board leetlng of directors, and C. S. Her ian secretary; John Vernon was re jected treasurer. Annual meeting of Me association will be held first Mon ay in January. It is hoped that when the two elec t -lc railroad lines reach Molalla In the summer ot '07 they will not cover each other up with dirt and gravel when ti ey come together, fighting for su premacy, as they seem to now be da lug at "Thirteen Mile Point" over in Washington. Dirt and gravel are too valuable over here to be wasting in railroad construction in any such a manner as that. The time is overdue when the pea pie or the Upper Willamette Valley should be deriving' the benefits of an open river and cease paying tribute to ton-gatherers at the Oregon City locks, However, the proposition to Buy the old locks at an exorbitant price, should not be entertained for a moment. New locks should be constructed on the East Side by the Government, giving a rree and unblockaded waterway from the head of navigation to tide water; tnus me Willamette Kiver will serve as the governing balance-wheel to the transportation: machinery engaged in carrying to and fro the needs of the generations to follow tributary to the Willamette Valley. Purchase those old locks? No, never, at even the original cost. They are narrow gauged'and an tiquated and more adapted as a con duit for the special benefit of the mills than a boat highway of up-to-date di mensions. SOUVENIR PLAYING CARDS.
