Resume of the News of the
Week from All Parts
of Oregon
After considerable delay, an agree
ment was reached on Saturday and a
contract was signed for the construc
tion of a road from the town of Gar
diner to a connection with the Willa
mette Pacific railroad one and one
half miles distant. The Gardiner Mill
company has taken the contract to
build the road for $13,500, completion
to be made by May 1 next. The road
is to be planked.
George M. Darrow, pomological and
horticultural investigator of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture,
Washington, D. C, spent Saturday in
Albany and vicinity looking over the
loganberry industry. After a thor
ough investigation Mr. Darrow is of
the opinion that California and Wash
ington soil and climate are not nearly
so favorable to the production of lo
ganberries as is the Willamette valley
district of Oregon.
Umatilla county newspapermen
will meet in this city this Thursday
for the purpose of meeting E. E. Bro
die of Oregon City, and Phil Bates of
Portland, president and secretary of
the Oregon State Editorial associa
tion. They are touring eastern Ore
gon by auto and will arrive here from
La Grande Thursday morning. An in
formal banquet will be tendered them.
Eight fire wardens are on duty in
the timber of Polk county, six in the
employ of the state and two federal
men. A few insignificant fires have
been reported, the result of campfires
left by careless campers, but no dam
age has been done to date. The fre
quent rains have minimized the danger
of fire in the woods.
Coos Bay made a remarkable record
for lumber shipping during the first
half of the month of August. From
this harbor there was shipped to San
Francisco bay more fir and spruce
lumber than from all the other ports
on the Pacific coast put together. The
amount from Coos bay was also twice
as much 'as the total redwood ship
ments from Pacific coast points.
A cattle-judging contest for boys
between the ages of 12 and 19 will be
held at the Gresham fair grounds dur
ing the first day of the fair for the
purpose of giving them a practical ex
perience in that line of the livestock
industry. The sum of $2T"was appro
priated for prizes, and' the boys must
all be residents of Multnomah county
who have not attended the agricultur
al college. They will be under the
supervision of County Agent S. B.
Hall, who will train them to their
work in accordance with the 0. A. C.
score cards.
Unless something out of the usual
happens meantime the precipitation
for the fiscal weather year ending
Sept. 1, is going to be 88 inches this
year where it was 68 inches last year.

An immense egg laid by a hen at
'O. D. Shaver's farm west of town was
brought in last week by his daughter,
Ethyl. A tape line around the egg
showed its circumference 7 by 8 3-8

good breakfast, and if the hen would
lay one like it every day she would be
a prize winner. Hillsboro Independent.

workedout, and with the erection of
cattle sheds and other necessary
buildings, every convenience needed
will be provided. There will be ample
exhibition room for the products of
the farm, as well as big, roomy tents
for the household articles. Then there
will be the school children exhibits,
and these promise to be bigger than
ever before.
Jim Quong, the last of the colony
of Chinamen that operated in the
mines of the lower Klamath river sec
tion, died at Yreka this week at the
age of 75 years. For over 50 years
he was a familiar figure around Hap
py Camp, where he operated a store.
Boys and girls in the valley now in
the midst of the summer vacation per
haps do not know that at least one
Washington county school is open and
that instead of the summer vacation
the pupils will stay home next winter.
It is the Her school in District 86, up
in the hills near the Columbia county
line beyond Timber. It has been
found impossible when the deep snows
fall in the mountains to keep the
school open, for the small children
cannot get through the heavy drifts.
Therefore the school opened after a
short vacation and will close when
the snow begins to fall. Superintend
ent Barnes paid a visit to the school
last Friday. News-Times.
A report has gained circulation
that hop picking in the Independence
section will not begin until the middle
of September. There is nothing in
the general condition of the vines to
indicate that the picking season will
be delayed for any such length of
time. A. period of hot weather for
the remainder of the month would
bring most of the yards into picking
condition before September 1st.

not gripe no unpleasant after-effects."

TROOPS MAY STAY
Correspondents Notice Preparations
for Permanent Camps on Border
Communications from border camps
of the Oregon National guard indi
cate that the officials there have an
idea the soldiers will winter on the
southern frontier. This indication is
given much weight in the minds of
men writing home by the fact that
preparations that look like "winter
quarters" are being made about the
camps.
Much money has been spent in mak
ing the several stations permanent
and among the other preparations
made is the flooring of the conical
tents that are the homes of the sol
diers.
Advices from the war department
at Washington say that the troops
will remain on the border until all
possibility of actual strife has passed,
and authorities take that, too, to
mean that the boys will not return be
fore next spring.
The troops are held m shape to
move upon a moment's notice, in spite
of the permanent nature of their
camp. Their arms and equipment are
at hand at all hours and the rigor
ous training they have been put
through within the last few weeks
has fitted the men to answer, any call
that might be sounded.
Passing in Review
News of the' Week from War
Zones of Europe and
Mexico
In the Verdun region the Germans,
who again lost the village of Fleury
northeast of the citadel, in fighting
last week, are making determined ef
forts to regain the place. Along the
Somme front, the artillery battle is
raging violently. No inffantry ac
tions are reported by Paris, however,
although a German counter attack,
apparently is in preparation follow
ing the capture by the French of a
strongly fortified wood between Guil
lemont and Maurepas northwest of
Peronne, announced Sunday.
The allied forces at Saloniki have
advanced to the attack along the en
tire front. With the preliminary
work, the shelling of the Teuton lines
and the thrusts probing for weak
spots completed, the general assault
has begun and the fourth great offen
sive of the allies is now well under
way. In a joint push forward, the
Serbs, operating on the left wing,
south of Monastir, and the Anglo
French forces, operating in the cen
ter and on the right, moved forward.
The Serbs won the Bulgarian first line
on the Greek border, southeast of
Monastir, while the allied armies
crossed the Struma, east of Saloniki,
and established themselves firmly on
the right bank.
German naval authorities deny
that the super-submarine Deutschland
has returned to Bremen, according to
a wireless dispatch received at Lon
don from Berlin. Alfred Lohman,
president of the German Ocean Ship
ping company, owner of the under sea
merchantman, announces the Deutsch
land will arrive from America short
ly, but will give no date.
Germany has shown no disposition
toward peace except on terms dis
honorable and humiliating to some of
the allies. Premier Asquith inform
ed the house of commons Monday af
ternoon. The prime minister's state
ment was made in answer to asser
tions by Under Secretary Zimmerman
of the German foreign office, who told
a Hungarian newspaper recently that
it was England that was blocking
peace. Zimmerman's statement that
England prevented her allies from
showing a disposition toward peace is
untrue, Asquith said. He reminded
the German foreign office official that
Germany has never submitted official
terms of peace.

body convenes in November. Pfbfessor
Paul Miliukov, leader of the cadets,
so informed newspapermen on Tues
day, following his return from a visit
to England, France and Italy with
other members of the Russian house.
The British submarine E-23 made
a successful torpedo attack on a Ger
man battleship of the Nassau class
Saturday, the admiralty announced.
The text of the admiralty's statement
follows: "The submarine E-23 has
put in from a North sea cruise and re
ports that Saturday morning a suc
cessful torpedo attack was made
against a German battleship of the
Nassau class. The commanding offi
cer, Lieutenant-Commander Turner,
reports that while the battleship in
damaged condition was being escorted
to harbor by five destroyers he again
attacked her with a second torpedo.
Turner believes that the battleship
sank." There are four German battle
ships of the Nassau class, the Posen,
Rheinland, Westfalen and Nassau.
They displace 18,602 tons each and
were built about nine years ago. Each
is 451 feet long, with a beam of 88
feet and carry a crew of about 960.
The principal battery consists of 12
11-inch guns.
According to Dutch skippers, at 9
o'clock Saturday morning the German
fleet at least 60 vessels strong all
descriptions agreed, was sighted. The
war ships were guided by three Zep
pelins. At 6 o'clock in' the evening
the same fleet was seen further north,
this time steaming furiously eastward.
What happened in the meantime is
clear from the reports of other Dutch
captains. r
The current phase of the Mexican
situation is now believed to be near a
solution. The American delegates to
the border conference will be instruct
ed to comply with Carranza's demand
that American troops be withdrawn
from Mexico, but on three conditions.
Carranza must first sign an agreement
to maintain 20,000 Mexican troops
along the frontier to cooperate with
20,000 American troops in preserving
order. As an alternative, Carranza
may agree to the establishment of
neutral zone on the Mexican side of
the border in which American troops
may operate against bandits.
The next big event for Washing

fair, which will be held on the fair

Mexico and The Vanilla Bean
Summer, the season of the year
when every housewife takes pride in
serving her own ice creams, ices cakes,
desserts, and other pastries, being
here we wonder how many of our
readers know that the Mexican Vanil
la Bean constitutes the most import
ant factor in the manufacture of Va
nilla Extract, which adds so much to
the taste and flavor of these delica-
:3.
The Vanilla plant is an orchid, hav-
ingToots in the air as well as in the
ground. It clings to trees or frames,
twining around them as it grows, and
favors most a light, loose soil, well
drained, with "quilted sunshine and
leaf shade," a condition naturally
brought about by the foliage of the
protecting trees.
The finest grade Vanilla Bean is
grown in Papantla, Mexico, about 375
miles north of Vera Cruz. The ave
rage Vanilla Bean is 7 to 8 inches
in length and to inch in thick
ness before cured. It is very juicy,
round, contains thousands of little
black seeds and is of a green color;
after being cured it assumes a brown
ish color. To bring out the rich aro
matic and delicious flavor of Vanilla
Beans the process of manufacture em
oloyed takes from two to three years
from the time the bean is macerated
or soaked until the Extract is bot
tled.
Mr. J. F. Dix, the Rawleigh Retail
or in this locality, kindly loaned us a
sample sent him by his company which
is one of the original of the first and
only carload shipment ever made in
the world. He informs us that his
company has had many requests for
these samples from college and high
school professors, principals and
school teachers, preachers and many
clubs and societies all over the coun
try who use them in lectures and
discussions.
Mr. Dix has consented to loan all
interested in this subject his sample
for the purpose of education. Worn
ens' clubs who are much interested in
extracts and Women canvassers
would undoubtedly like to see this fine
sample which is now on exhibition at
this office. Adv.
Roumania finally is reported to
have cast her lot with the entente. No
formal declaration has yet been made,
but the situatin is regarded so ser
iously in Berlin that the central pow
ers are said to be preparing an ulti
matum. Great importance is attrib
uted to a conference between the Rou
manian minister of war and the Rus
sian military attache at Bucharest on
Sunday. The Kreuse Zeitung, of Ber
lin, is quoted in a Copenhagen dis
patch as expressing the supposition
that this conference was held to dis
cuss a plan of campaign. Russia, it
is said, will send armies to cooperate
with Roumania in a march into Ser
bia, taking the Germans and Bulgar
ians in the rear.
Several hundred Legalists crossing
the border into Mexico are concen
trating for an attack on Ojinaga, ac
cording to a report received by mili
tary authorities at El Paso Monday.
Colonel Mariano Tames with 200 men
has joined the revolutionists. Five
hundred troops have been rushed by
General Trevino at Chihuahua Cify to
reinforce the Ojinaga garrison. A
dispatch from Chihuahua City stat
ed that Colonel Carlos Carranza and a
Carranza force had been practically
annihilated by Villistas under J. Do
minguez on Sunday only a few miles
west of the city.
Italian troops are to take part in
the important campaign just opening
in the Balkans, according to Saloniki
advices of the week which report dis
embarkation of Italian soldiers at
that port now in progress. German
troops are employed on the Macedon
ian front and actual war between
Germany and Italy, of which there so
far has been no formal declaration,
now seems probable. The Macedon
ian campaign itself does not seem to
have developed an engagement of
first rate magnitude, but there is pro
nounced activity along the 150 mile
fighting front with successes claimed
by each side at various points.
Investigation of reports from Pan
ama that a sixty thousand acre land
Concession at the Atlantic end of the
canal is being sought by a Spaniard
named Fernandez, presumably for
Japanese interests, was ordered Mon
day by Secretary Lansing.
The Russians have made further
advances at some points along the
Stokhod line where they broke through
the Austro-Hungarian-defenses last
week, the war office announced early
this week. The capture of 1300 men
in this region, is reported by the war
office.
The Bulgarians have opened heavy
attacks on both wines of the allied
armies in Greece and serious fighting
is going on at both ends of the 150
mile battle front. The German war
office announced that the Bulgars
have captured Cichill, southeast of
the Greek town of Fiorina, whose
capture was officialy announced Fri
day, and have taken other Serbian po
sitions. An Athens dispatch report
ed another Bulgarian force less than
ten miles from the important Greek
port of Kavala. The invasion of
Greece has brought a new crisis to
the Greek capital and has resulted in
sudden conferences between the mm
isterial and military heads. The Bui
garian advance has aroused no alarm
in allied military circles.

The apparently authentic report
from Stockholm that Great Britain
plans to place a blanket embargo
against all goods shipped to Sweden
and will only permit exportation if in
each case Sweden gives a guarantee
that the goods in question will not be
re-exported, is considered to be the
most sensational and significant news
of the economic world war, not ex
cepting the blacklist of America and
other neutral firms. What many here
have been thinking privately is now
openly suggested, namely, that Ger
many should at once proceed to take
defensive measures against what is
held to be England's campaign to con
trol the commerce of neutrals. One
course that is advocated is a system
for counter embargoes against neu
trals that "submit to British commer
cial control." "I cannot believe that
Sweden will tolerate it," a leading
German said, and this is the view held
in other well informed quarters.

Mrs. G. H. Eveland, Duncan Mills,

bago, unable to turn myself in bed. A
neighbor brought me Foley Kidney
Pills. Said she had been similarly
afflicted and they cured her. I tried
them and was completely cured by
three bottles." Mrs. Eveland hear
tily recommends Foley Kidney Pills
for kidney trouble. When the kid
neys are not functioning properly, im
purities left in the blood cause rheu
matism, lame back, aches and pains.

MONEY TALKS
"But," Says Magazine Writer, "There
are Other Speakers"
"How would you like a $25,000 a
year job? I suppose you think you
would like it a lot. But WOULD you
like it? Would you enjoy the work
you would have to do in order to earn
that much salary? Would you be
willing to pay what it costs to become
a $25,000 a year man?
"This brings us to an interesting
fact about the human animal name
ly, his way of pretending sometimes to
ambitions which he does not possess.
Ask almost any man in the United
States today whether he would like a
job paying $25,000 a year, and he will
tell you, yes vehemently and with
evident sincerity. But in ninety-nine
cases out of one hundred he would not
really mean it. He would like the
money yes but to earn it by giving
a corporation the price which it asks
in return for that much money would
not suit him at all.
"The truth is that most men have
no taste for the duties that go with
the biggest salaries. The man who is
worth $25,000 a year to a corporation
must be willing to work evenings and
holidays. He must be ready to up
set all personal plans if business
calls him. He must be ready at a
moment's notice to give up Sunday
with his famijy and spend it in a
railway trip to another city for a Mon
day morning conference. In his office
he must also bear the brunt. He must
be eager to take responsibility and be
ready to make hard and unpleasant
decisions. He must have real zest
for tough problems. And he cannot
hide behind others. Big pay enve
lopes go only to those down in front
where the eggs are thrown." Ameri

WHEAT PRICES IN SKY
Season's Record Established All Over
World. Flour High
Records for wheat prices in Oregon
and elsewhere for the current season
were smashed this week when prac
tically every leading market in the
world showed a stiff advance in pric
es. On the Portland Merchants' ex
change there were advances of from
2 to !! cents a bushel over the previous
record made Saturday. Bluestem bids
were advanced to $1.23 per bushel,
but actual purchases of spot wheat of
this variety were shown in the inter
ior on the basis of $1.25 $1.26 per
bushel.
This advance in the price of wheats
caused an advance of 20 cents a bar
rel in the price of flour on Pugot
sound, and a similar advance is ex
pected here.
At Chicago there were further
gains in the price. On the board of
trade wheat prices gained 2 to 2
cents a bushel over the previous high
record for the season.
London showed advances of 6d to
2s for wheat on passage and for cash
wheat there was an advance of 3d to
Od or from 6 to 12 cents a bushel, at
Liverpool. The Buenos Aires market
was Vi cent a bushel higher, and a
further advance was forced at Paris.
The demand from Europe for Pa
cific northwest wheat at this time is
the greatest ever known, although
practically all the supplies will prob
ably have to be taken over the long
rail haul to the Atlantic coast.
