Extension Department Secures Inter
esting Data
Preliminary work of securing data
on the exact cost of producing beef
in Oregon has been begun by the
animal husbandry department of the
agricultural college in concurrence
with the resolution adopted by the
Oregon Cattle and Horse Growers
association which met at Baker City,
May 1.
This preliminary investigation was
taken up by Professor E. L. P6tter,
head of the animal husbandry de
partment, on a recent inspection
visit to the eastern Oregon branch ex
periment station at Union. While in
vestigations were of necessity very
much limited, enough has already
been done, according to Professor
Potter, to indicate favorable outcome
of the investigations, and he expects
to be able to make a report of pro
gress at the next meeting of the Ore
gon Stockmen's association which will
be held in La Grande.
"The investigation' will naturally
proceed along two" different though
related lines,''' said Professor Potter.
"One of these will be the experimen
tal feeding at the station, and the
other the actual cost of breeding,
feeding and managing cattle on the
farm for the livestock market. Al
though methods and cost will vary
greatly among different farmers, yet
by taking a sufficiently large number
of representative stockmen and
averaging the results, it ought to be
possible to arrive at a fair estimate
of the actual cost of producing beef.
"An important factor m the cost
of producing beef is the carrying ca
pacity of. the ranges. On this sub
ject I have been able to get some
very definite information." The fig
ures are available to show beyond
question that the carrying power of
the ranges is vastly increased when
properly Controlled. Fencing is the
most efficient means of control and
even here the methods of fencing
have a good deal to' do with the effici
ency of range management.
"Reports show that on one 10,000
acre range under fence eleven hundred
head of cattle were kept. This is but
little more than nine acres to the ani
mal, probably about double the range
capacity of the ranges in unf enced
forest reserves, the -next most effic
ient method of range management.
The figures are not at hand, however,
to show just what the carrying ca
pacity1 of the i-anges are under for
est reserve conditions, except in a
few instances. It- has been shown
that on the Winona range, between
Umatilla and Union counties, one
animal to each sixteen acres has been
maintained. - This is the best showing
so far reported.
"An investigation of the large
fenced area showed that much of the
land has been over grazed while some
of it had scarcely been touched. The
tract was composed of foothills and
low mountain ranges and was well
set to bunch grass. On the lowlands
near the farm buildings, from which
the animals had been turned to -the
range, the4 grass was entirely eaten
out and the ground well tramped. On
some of the higher portions the grass
had been , almost undisturbed and was
fast going to seed. This indicates
that a fence should have been run be
tween the over used and the unused
portions of the range and a system
of range rotation adopted."
SAYS TAXES TOO HIGH
Secretary Smith Visits County in In
terest of League
"During the past 10 years taxes
have increased 37 per cent per an
num," says Robert E. Smith, secretary
of the State Taxpayers' league, whose
headquarters are at Roseburg. He is
advocating an amendment limiting tax
levies.
"I have been visiting all the towns
between Roseburg and Portland,"
said Secretary Smith.
"Some of our members are doing
well, but in other cases the matter has
not been given sufficient attention.
Multnomah was among the counties
delinquent in its quota. With reason
able response from Multnomah county
we expect to have 17,000 signatures
by the end of the week, and to be well
over the number of 22,000 by July 1,
at which time we hope to have enough
names to file the petition.
"The tax limitation amendment,"
continued Secretary Smith, "has been
carefully drawn up, and involves no
technical language more than neces
sary in drafting a tax law. It pro
vides that hereafter the tax levying
bodies of the state snail have power
to levy an increase of not more than
6 per cent over that of the preceding
year. This will apply to the legisla
ture, county commissioners, port dis
tricts, municipalities and other tax
levying authorities. The people of
the state or any of its subdivisions
having the power to make tax levies
oan go to the people for authority to
incur greater expenditures, or for the
issuance of bonds."
Secretary Smith says he has found
that the taxpayers of Linn, Marion
and Yamhill counties are signing up
the petitions rapidly.
Secretary Smith is anxious that all
circulators turn in whatever signa
tures they have to his office in Rose
burg not later than July 1. '

To the Editor:
A rather attractive young woman,
accompanied by a haughty mother
whose lorgnette gave her more trouble
than the impending Mexican fracas,
stepped pleasantly toward a group
of guardsmen at Camp Withycombe
the other day, and the gentlemen re
moved their hats as she spoke. She
asked inconsequential questions and
was answered by all but one member
of the little group of soldiers.
He, a son of a worthy sire and him
self a prominent young man in civil
life, had a fleeting glimpse of a ball
room, at the beach two years ago,
when the troops were in camp. He
stepped away from the little group
as the picture came over his mind.
There he was again at Gearheart-by-the-sea!
The music, the gayety of
the cool dance hall in the big hotel!
And he but a private in the ranks.
The call of the timed measure was too
great, he brushed up his uniform, and
prepared for the pleasure that await
ed him.
A moment more and the young fel
low stood in the dance hall door,
watching the group of elect and of
guard officers' who gayly stepped
about. One little lady in the hall
knew our private well. Ah, yes! And
in the heart of her was no thought
of scorn. As our soldier lad stepped
into the dance with her the society on
all sides sneered behind daintily glov
ed hands, some of the brazen social
beauties, who masquerade at isuch,
places, positively laughed aloud, al
though the young man's dancing
would have made the pretty pieces of
masculinity on the floor hide them
selves in shame for their own at
tempts; .The sneers and the scornful glanc
es were not because of our young
man's dancing. Rather they were
sneers at the uniform that covered
him; scorn of the manwho would
wear the uniform of a soldier and a
protector of his nation's flag and still
think that he was as good as the
"pretty" men and the "handsome"
women who could spend their idle
summers in the cool breezes from the
great ocean. The soldier was beneath
them, he was unfit to dance on the
same floor with society's numskulls,
and he was shown his place in no un
certain way.
As he found his uniform disgrac
ed in the minds of his audience, dis
honored by officers and those spindle
legged chappies whose coats hung
from shoulders that dared not carry a
gun, the private . sneaked sheepishly
back to the camp ground and the
dance went merrily on. The picture
of .the dance hall and its society fad
ed from his mind as he turned to the
young lady who questioned the little
group of which he was a member at
Camp Withycombe and he ascertain
ed his recognition of one of the belles
whose sneers had banished him from
the dance floor years before.
The irony of fate has sent our pri
vate into the actual service for which
he had been preparing himself while
his scorners danced. He was ready
for the fight for country and ready to
protect those who had laughed him
from their midst. Honor had come to
his element through approaching dan
ger. Society praised him and his fel
lows for their valor. Scorn was for
gotten in the face of Mexican border
trials.
But, can you criticise him for ne
glecting to remove his hat when he
joined the questioned group again?
Can he be held culpable for forgetting
to respect the young woman whose
element had scorned him so recently
for the very thing for which she was
honoring him now ? Can he be blam
ed for the thought that pointed him
and his comrades out as immensely
more valuable to the nation that har
bors him than the social beauty who
.scorned and then attempted to honor
him with her presence and her ques
tions? Really, could he be guilty if
he had stooped to tell her just what
he thought of her kind? He was a
gentleman, though, and, joined by his
friends, he departed leaving a won
dering beauty to reflect upon his own
seeming snobbishness.

LAND MAY BE DRAWN
Tallmen Says Opening of Grant Will
Be Hastenecr
"No time will be lost, so lar as
this department is concerned, in pre
liminary work necessary, to be done
before the agricultural lands of the
Oregon & California grant are open
ed to settlement," says Clay Tallmen,
commissioner of the general land
office.
"It is impossible to give an approxi
mate date when the first lands can be
opened to settlement," he continued.
"We first have to determine exactly
what lands are the lands , in which
title is revested in the government,
While descriptions of the lands are
given in the bill of complaint and the
decree of the district court; and these
are no doubt correct as to the great
body of the lands, we will have to have
accurate maps prepared, showing ex
actly all the lands unsold, patented
and unpatented, to which the govern
ment resumes title.
"It is our purpose to have a pre
liminary map prepared from the in
formation now available, under which
the work of classification can proceed
while the final descriptions are being
worked out. The classification will be
started as soon as possible, soon
after the first of July, we hope. Plans
under consideration call for this work
being done by our local forces in
Oregon, expanded to meet the re
quirements."

SAM WHITE ELECTED
Democratic State Committee Hears
Keynote. Speech
Samuel White of Portland was
elected chairman of the Democratic
State Central committee by acclama
tion at the meeting held in Portland
Saturday afternoon. In his speech
of acceptance, he struck the keynote
of the coming presidential campaign
when he said the battle between Jus
tice Hughes and President Wilson is
to be decided in November upon the
broad lines of true Americanism and
not upon the narrow and circumscrib
ed lines of partisan politics. '
"The issues that confront our na
tion in this time of crisis are not the
issues of narrow partisanship . or
petty prejudice, but are the broad,
high questions of true Americanism,"
Judge White said. "I believe we can
depend upon the true Americans of
this state and of the nation to up
hold the hands of the president 1 in
this time of crisis which now con
fronts us."
The newly elected chairman was
empowered by the committee to ap
point an executive committee of five
and to appoint a secretary for the
state central committee, acting with
the advice of the executive committee.
Dr. C. J. Smith of Portland was
unanimously elected treasurer of the
state committee.
A vote of thanks and appreciation
was tendered Bert E. Haney, the re
tiring chairman, for his faithful ser
vice as head of the state organiza
tion. After organization had been per
fected short addresses were made by
E. H. Richard of Josephine, Dr. R. M.
Erwin of Washington, J. R. Coleman
of Marion, Wayne Henry of Polk, R.
J. Moore of Yamhill, Sam L. Garland
of Linn, George F. Johnson of Clack
amas and others.

How to Get Rid of a Cold
Summer colds are serious. Read
how C. E. Summers, Holdredge, Neb.,
got rid of his: "I contracted a severe
cough and cold and could hardly
sleep. I got a bottle of Foley's Honey
and Tar and the very first dose reliv
ed me. I took a second dose before
going to bed and can truthfully say I
did not cough all night. By using as
directed the next two days my cough
was entirely cured and I give Foley's
Honey and Tar full credit for my
speedy recovery." Foley's always
soothes and heals. Children love it.

SCOUTS IN CAMP
Cherryville District Presents Military
Appearance
Clackamas has nothing on Cherry
ville. Cherryville has been imbued
with the "war" spirit and has a real
military camp whev a large party of
boy scouts from Portland are enjoy
ing a summer outing and getting first
hand training in scoutcfaft by actual
contact with the things and coditions
they are taught to handle and to mas
ter. The scouts are a part of troops 16,
19 and 20, in charge of the Rev. Mr.
Randall of Portland, and Scoutmaster
McKenzie. Their camp is a military
institution with a tent for headquar
ters, a mess tent, cook tent and 20
tents for sleeping quarters. The boys
detrained at Bull Run and "hiked"
from that station to Cherryville,
where they established their camp.
When they came within sight of their
camp location the scout buglers blew
melodiously "It's a Long Way to Tip
perary." but after the youthful cooks
had prepared a warm meal the tune
changed to "There'll be a Hot Time in
the Old Town Tonight."
Scoutmaster McKenzie will ' keep
the boys out for several days more
and will initiate them into the myster
ies of the forest primeval, and will
instruct them in the lore of the woods
and . its animal inhabitants. The
methods employed in the day of the
Indian will be taught to the young
sters that they may be better fitted
to cope with the conditions presented
by nature if they come in contact with
them in the performance of the hu
mane duties for which the scout or
ganization was started.
The scout camp is conducted with
military precision and each night a
detail is made to mount guard, in real
soldier fashion, and the boys take long
hikes through the woods as a part of
their instruction. Between working
spells the lads, however, are -finding
the keenest pleasure in their outing
and are adept fishermen, as a result
of their attempts to supply the cook
with provender for a score of hungry
humans.
