When the skein of our store service unwittingly
becomes a little tangled, it is our patient and per

it cheerfully, knowing full well that the best way

FOOT-AND-MOUTH OVER
Long. Fight Against Stock plague
Now Ended
.
The long fight against the foot-and-mouth
diseaseis oyer." -The. Sec-
retary of Agriculture hast,issued ''an'
order which' on March 31 "removed all
foot-and-mouth quarantines and . re
strictions against the shipment" and
movement of live stock. .The order
signed specifically" removes the.'quar-'
antine from 'a small territory in Chris'
tian County, 111., the last' area-which
was under suspicion. ..Along, with, the
removal ,of this local quarantine, the
various FederaU orders-, 'restricting
shipment of cattle ,are rescinded,, so
that'dealers can now ship their" cattle
as before the first quarantine, was im
posed, ,
Upon notification that the United
States 'is 'free', from the disease, all
foreign governments which, have plac
ed embargoes on American cattle are
expected to remove these embargoes,
sothat cattle raisers will then be able
to. resume shipments to" these foreign
countries. .
The'magnitude of the work of erad
ication and control carried on by
farmers,- shippers, and the" State and
Federal Government is shown by the
fact that before. controlled the disease
had gained 'a temporary footing in 22
states and the, District, of Columbia.
The di'sea'se appeared and . was con
trolled in 269 different counties.
- .
The importance to the stock-raising
industry of .eradicating .foot-and-mouth-disease
may be. judged from
the results of this plague in Denmark,
where'the disease appeared at about
the same time that it broke out in the
United States.' The area of Denmark
is approximately equal to. that of the
three New England States, Massa
chusetts, Connecticut, and, Rhode' Is
land. ' It. is, however, a .great dairy
ing country, and it has been estimated
"that the losses, in milk in - one year
caused by the. foot-and-mouth disease
have amounted" to. approximately 'one
third of the total, cost "of .eradicating
the pestilence m 22 states of his coun
try. The Danish auhoritics were nn
able to carry "out their former policy
of slaughter, and were ..compelled to
resort to such measures of control as
could be established by ' quarantines
and other restrictions.
As a result of a better understand
ing between the State and. National
Governments, representatives of the
department believe that many of the
obstacles which confronted the author
ities in the past outbreak would not
be encountered in dealing with any
future occurrence of the disease, The
veterinarians, however, will not abate
their watchfulness for some time
Examination of animals and animal
products offered for import will con
tinue to be unusually strict. The de
partment, moreover, particularly urg
es all farmers and cattle handlers to
notify their State veterinarians and
the department of any suspicious cas
es of sore mouth combined with lame
ness in their animals. Those in charge
of the eradication work are confident
that the disease is wiped out, but they
wish to use every precaution to de
tect and control any sporadic cases
that may develop m remote districts,

The American Bay Lynx Is an Animal

We. call liim lue American wildcat,
although- he', is 'of a different species
from the wildcat 'of.Europe. His real

America, the Canadian 'lynx. The Eu
ropean .wildcat. Is really the, ancestor
,of the domestic cat, but you can't

lie is wild all the' way through.
He "gets his front name.from his col
or, which Is a yelfowlsh brown or bay.
His tall Is short, which hus given him
another name bobcat. Unlike most
cats, he is a good swlmuier and bis
hind feet are partly webbed.
- The buy lynx frequents mountain
woodlands in the less settled portions
of America, and sometimes he makes
his presence dreaded by his raids on
poultry. He is ulso a persistent rob
ber of birds' nests, nnd he will eat
both birds and eggs. He will also de
vour squirrels, rabbits, wild turkeys
and anything that Isn't too big for him
to kill.
His appetite for animals has led peo
ple to fear blm, although he will sel
dom attack human beings only when
be thinks he 1ms to defend himself.
He usually builds a nest of moss and
leaves In u hollow tree. Philadelphia

FOREST NOTES
The increase in the demand for.pot
ashhas resulted jn a number of in
quiries of Government officials "con
cerning, the amount of this "chemical;
contained 'in wood ashes; which may
be available at sawmills operating on
National Forests.. '
.The waste product of sawmills in
the United States, including that fed
to furnaces as fuel, is estimated to be
36,000,000 cords per year, and the
equivalent of 2,880,000,000 cu. ft. of
solid wood substance. About half of
it has no use whatever, but is usually
burned to get rid of it.
The annual losses of livestock on
the National Forest ranges of the
West, due to predatory animals, are
over $500,000. An organized cam
paign is now on to exterminate these
animals. Wolves are responsible for
about 70 percent of the cattle losses,
while bears cause most of the remain
der. Approximately 75 percent of
the sheep losses are due to coyotes,
20 percent to bears, and 5 percent to
lynxes and wild cats. Mountain lions
are charged with killing only a few
head of cattle and sheep.
For burning brush without a per
mit last September, James Aigne, a
farmer living near Leavenworth, Wn.,
was fined on April 12, $25 and costs,
He was arrested by the local ranger
and brought before Justice of the
Peace P. H. Graham. The danger to
the forest wealth of the Northwest
from indiscriminate burning of brush
and slashing during the dry season is
so great that the State law prohibits
it, and the Courts are strict in punish
ing offenders.
Needs No Lightning Rod.
A building 0,000 feet above sea level
should be protected by lightning rods,
one thinks, but the astronomical obser
vatory at Mount Etna has not and
does not need such protection. The
observatory is near the summit of the
volcano, and the stream of vapor con
stantly rising from the crater acts as a
natural conductor, draining the elec
tricity out of the clouds, so that light
ning is seldom seen there.

LIGHT ON LIGHT.
What It Really Is and How It. WavM
' Affect Our Eyes.
How many of us could say what
"light" Is?
Could we explain why the gloom of
the streets seems increased tenfold
when we leave a well lighted room?
And do we know why all of us Buffer
discomfort, if not actual pain, when
from darkness we enter a brilliantly
lighted place?
The discomfort on entering a lighted
room after darkness is because the
optic nervef which receives light Just
as the drum of the ear receives sounds,
Is suddenly burdened with light rays
before the pupil of the eye. has had
time to contract to receive them. The
pupils dilate very much in the dark
In order to admit every ray possible,
and a dilated pupil cannot, without
discomfort, suddenly receive an abun
dance of light rays.
When the pupils contract there Is an
automatic adjustment to the quantity
of light When we "peer" we are
really only adjusting our pupils. Go
ing from brilliant light to darkness,
the pupils do not dilate Instantly.
They remain- contracted and cannot
for a time collect what light there Is.
So the darkness appears intensified.
Cats, owls and other animals see In
the dark because they have the power
of enlarging their broad pupils and
collecting light which is invisible to us.
Light Itself Is a fluid of t luminous
ether, which (ills up the spaces in the
air particles. It has an undulating vi
bratory movement, which strikes on
the optic nerve, giving us the sensa
tion of "light." Pearson's Weekly.
THE HEART OF LONDON.
Where the Land Is Valued at Over
$16,000,000 Per Acre.
There is an amazing price set upon
the land of London. In the center of
the English metropolis1 tiny lots have
been sold for. fortunes. . .
' An acre there Is .the dearest In the
world. Many a transaction over ground
In the;heart of. the city, has set the
figure, of $10,250,000 "per acre. One
square mile-of London Is valued at
$750,000,000. The land , beneath the
Bank o'f ' England at low estimate la
worth, $35,000,000, and there are only,
three acres in that tract too. , . .
There are places on Queen Victoria,
Upper Thames,' St Mary-at-HIU and
Cannon streets where one square Inch
Is worth $1.25. In Lombard street and
King William street prices have ranged
from $200 and $250 to $350 per square
foot
Cornhlll property has been bought for
more than $12,000,000 an acre, Thread
needle street land for $350 per square
foot, and a church In Austin Friars,
not such a large church either, was
tempted with an offer of $5,000,000 for
the land beneath It
The steady lifting of London land In
price has brought fabulous riches to
the owners. Families have risen to
prominence on no other ground than
that they owned small bits of ground
In valuable sections. "'Rents are high
there, and sales have made owners per

(Too late for regular page.)
With Easter over and past it is to
be hoped the warm, clear Spring days
will be on hand,
- Stock is now doing fine on the
range and it is the only chance to
get feed, as the winter feed is gone.
J. T. Freil, Sr., who has a fine
home at Eugene,, recently moved to
his ranch, situated a short distance
east of the P. I. Mr. Freil drove all
the way in his conveyance, it being a
single top buggy drawn by an old
mare, 30 years old. This tough old
animal, which Mr. Freil brought
from Iowa made the entire trip of
125 miles or better, in three days, and
appeared none the worse for the trip.
Can you beat it?
Many orchards, on account of
disease and the low price of fruit,
are being dug up in the valey, making
a better chance for Ihrifty young or
chards, especially at this altitude,
where the orchards, especially the
ones lately set out, and which have
been cared for, are in fine condition.
This is true of the splendid young or
chard owned by Messrs Read and
Brownell on Cedar Creek, one mile
west of the P. I., and also of Prof.
Couper's and Rev. Dr. Boyd's on the
hill north of the P. I. Mr. Brownell
is an old and" experienced orchardist,
having been in the nursery business
for more than 40 years. He chose
this location in preference to any
other part of the state, not even ev
cepting Hood River, which, he says,
this excells in many ways.
The hotel here has lately been
finished inside and is now ready for
the season's trade. Mrs. Freil is an
excellent cook and the location is an
ideal one for a summer resort. Fine
strings of fish have already been
caught near here and as soon as the
weather, warms up a little better re
sults will be obtained. 1

SCIENCE OF NOSES.
In Size and Shape, It Is Said, Is Shown
the Wearer's Character.
Nnsography reveals the character,
habits and inclinations of people by a,
simple inspection of noses. According
to the system, the nose should be as
long as possible, aud this is a sign of
merit, power ana genius. Mauira
Napoleon and Caesar, both of whom
had large noses. A straight nose de
notes a just, serious and energetic
mind, the Roman nose a propensity .for
adventure and a wide nose with open
nostrils is a mark of great sensuality.
A cleft nose shows benevolence. It
was the nose of St Vincent de Paul.
The curved fleshy nose Is a mark of
domination and cruelty. Catherine de
Medici and Elizabeth of England had
uoses of this kind. The curved, thin
nose, on the contrary, Is a mark of a
; brilliant mind, but vain and disposed
' to be ironical. It Is" the nose of a
1 dreamer, a poet or a critic. If the line
of the nose is re-eutrante that Is, If
the nose Is turned up It denotes that
Its owner has a weak mind, sometimes
coarse, and generally playful, pleasant
and frolicsome. A pule nose denotes
; egotism, envy, heartlessness. The
quick, passionate, sanguine man has a
strongly colored hose of uniform shade.
