Jack Frost has put in his appear
ance all right.
Old timers say they never in many
years saw killing frosts come so ear-
ly. ' ,.
Captain Baty of the Portland de
tective force was out Sunday visiting
his sister, Mrs. Shank, who lives two
miles northeast of the postoffice.
August Budenstein has gone over
the mountains to help Hauser drive
his band of sheep to the home ranch
at Tygh Valley.
Theodore Kopper killed a big black
bear up on Huckleberry mountain last
Wednesday. He was in very fine con
dition and is estimated to weigh 400
pounds.
Solomon Hauser went through here
last Saturday with his band of sheep
on the way to the home ranch in east
ern Oregon. The sheep were in fine
condition and had been in summer
pasture on Wildcat. The lambs or
900 of them were sold under con
tract to a Portland firm at $4 a head.
Now they are worth $5. The sheep
and wheat men, in fact, all the ranch
ers on the other side, have made mon
ey fast the last three or four years
on account of the high price of all
kinds of stock, wool and grain. Pret
ty hard to make them believe that we
are having fearful democratic times
when it is difficult to get men over
there at from $3 to $4 a day.
A couple of old miners are digging
a tunnel in a deep canyon in Alder
Creek about three miles south of the
postoffice. They found fine specimens
of "float" in the creek and are seeking
the mother lode, which geologists say
lies deep in these hills and by driving
in low in a deep canyon, they hope to
locate the lode.
Tom Galarneau returned home
from work on a government road up
around Clear Lake last Saturday and
upon going up to his claim three miles
southwest of town he was surprised
and shocked beyond measure to find
that some one or possibly more than
one had broken into his cabin and
what they couldn't carry off they had
maliciously and wantonly destroyed,
The yard and garden were strewn
with the contents of flour sacks, salt,
beans, spices, coffee, tea, etc. About
ten gallons of mammoth mountain
strawberries, put up in glass jars and
preserved in sugar, were taken out
and Bmashed on the premises. There
is no excuse for such wicked and ut
terly absurd actions and no one but
a maniac or a degenerate would com
mit such depredations. Three guns
were taken, besides other property
and the total loss is estimated at
around $100. Suspicions point clear
ly to certain parties and it is hoped
the guilty one will be found.
The "Golden Special" with a lot of
golden dames from New York city is
on the coast this week. This poodle
dog brigade with its monkey dinner
outfit is out soliciting votes for can

disgust will be produced by this com
bination of aristocrats,, touring the
country in palace cars to help elect a
Wall street candidate and fasten with
stronger bonds the chain of indu3
rial slavery upon the toiling millions
of our country. No one among the
struggling masses will listen to these
golden dames.

Hogs Run Light at Opening of Port
land Market for Week
Monday's cattle market opened
with another large number of 1600

run, although there were a number of
loads of good quality stuff shipped.
There were a few loads of prime
steers sold at $7.25 with other loads
from $6.25 to $7, Inferior quality
steers rather slow demand, although
prices have held steady on this class
of stuff. Cow stuff scored another ad
vance Monday of 10 to 25 cents. A
few prime heifers brought $6 and a
few cows $5.75; bulk of prime cows
iold at $5.50 to $5.60 with inferior
grade as high as $3.00. Bulls were
in good demand at slightly higher
prices, although there were no real
fat bulls in the trade. The best
brought $4.25. Prime light calves
sold 50 cents higher, bringing $8, al
though a few were sold from $6.50 to
$7. Trading in the stockers and feed
ers division was limited to a few
loads, prices ranging from $3 to $5.75.
A moderate run of hogs receiyed
Monday. Prices were 10 to 15 cents
higher over last week's close. Tops
sold at $9.75, bulk going at $9.60 to
$9.70.
Sheep market is firm, with un
changed prices. Some fairly good
yearlings here Monday were taken at
$7.40. Demand was good, although
there was hardly enough offered to
start packers. A bunch of fair lambs
brought $8.30. Outside of this only
a few other sales were made. Prime
sheep of all grades remain in demand
at higher prices.

FEEDING GRAIN TO
COWS ON PASTURE
There are some questions that cannot
he answered by "yes" or "no." And so
n is regarding lue question as u
whether It Is profitable to feed grain to
cows that are on pasture.
There are some things, however, that
are very certain and not open to argu
ment, says Kimball's Dairy Farmer. It
will pay and pay well to feed grain to
good cows when they are on poor pas
ture, and It will not pay to feed poor
cows at any time.
There comes a time each year when
pastures are at their very best, when
cowfe other than the most highly pro
ductive ones refuse silage and grain.
They are then-"receiving feed in abun
dance and a properly balanced ration,
as is evidenced by the overflowing palls
of mllk they give night and morning.
They need no grain, and It Is well for a
time to withhold it, giving the powers
of digestion a rest.
Unfortunately the favorable season
lasts but a couple of months. Then
grass gets short and the cow begins to
decline in milk flow and get poor In
flesh. She Is still on pasture, but con-'
dltions are vastly different If at any
time of the year she needs grain she
needs It now. She says so herself, but
it Is only the thinking man who under
stands that the decrease in milk flow
and flesh are but the signals calling for
assistance.
Just as soon as the milk flow begins
to decrease It will prove profitable to
begin feeding grain and soiling crops
Admirers of the Holsteln breed
of dairy cattle contend that this
breed is capable jit doing: a greater
volume of business that Is, milk
production at less expense than the
other dairy breeds. The Holsteln
cow is kind, docile and has great
capacity (or converting roughage
into dairy products. The cow here
pictured is a pure bred Holsteln.
or silage. Only a small amount is re
quired at first, but as the drought
comes on and the grass deadens the
grain and succulent food should be
gradually increased at a rate that the
cows will continue to produce with that
persistency which insures a profitable
year's work.
All experience and experiments have
shown that cows will give more milk
and keep in better condition if fed
grain when on pasture. Some experi
ments show that there Is no Imme
diate profit from feeding grain, the cow
merely paying for the feed at good
market prices, but only the. short sight
ed man would fall to feed because of
this, for It Is the after effects that give
the profit.
The one who looks ahead realizes
that winter will come before his cows
freshen again and if they have been
allowed to decrease in milk flow during
the summer, when milk is cheap, they
cannot be Induced to give a lnrge yield
when milk Is high. In fact, there Is
but one conclusion to draw and one an
swer to the question as to whether It
pays to feed cows grain on pasture or
at any other time. If In order to keep
cows milking persistently and at their
best it Is necessary to feed grain, then
It is advisable and profitable to do so,
provided good cows are kept under
comfortable conditions, for none other
than large, persistent milk and butter
fat production pays.
Treatment For Calf Scours.
Give castor oil in milk to clear the
Irritant from the digestive tract, then
mix In each pint of milk fed dally a
tenspoonful of a, mixture of half an
ounce of formaldehyde in fifteen and
a half ounces of freshly boiled water.
Triple sulplioearbolates, to be bought
at tho drug store, would also be likely
to help in such a case of scours, due
to bacterial action In the Intestines.
Hoard's Dairyman.
Heifers Holding Up Milk.
Kindness Is about the only thing
that can be followed In preventing a
heifer from withholding her milk, as
It Is commonly called. Withholding of
milk Is not a voluntary action on the
part of n cow, but an involuntary ac
turn, and for that reason kindness must
be followed in order to put the heifer
In an attitude so she will not withhold
her nillk.

Then you realize the utter weakness

BALLOT TITLES CONFUSE
Danger of Mistaking Single Tax for
Rural Credits is Pointed Out
"The Full Rental Value Land Tax
and Homemakers' Loan Fund amend
ment" is the ballot' title for measure
number 306 and 307. "The Rural
Credits amendment" is the ballot title
for amendment number 318 and 319.
There is' danger that these titles may
be confusing. The word "loan" in
number 306 and 307 may lead Bome
voters to believe that it is "The Rur
al Credits amendment." Voters
should be very careful in distinguish
ing between these two measures on
election day. ' .
There is the widest possible differ
ence in the effect which the adoption
of these two measures would have.
Amendment nunjber 306 and 307 is a
single tax measure, and has for its
purpose the confiscation of private
ownership 'n land. Amendment num
ber 318 and 319 is just what its name
implies: an amendment giving rural
credits or cheap money to the
farmers. The first amendment, num
ber 306 and 307, would, it is said,
simply ruin the state of Oregon if it
was adopted.

No More Backache for Her
Mrs. J. M. Gaskell, Etna Green,
Ind., writes: ,"I suffered from severe
backache, and sharp pains shooting
through my. back until I could not
stoop over and get up without aid.
Urinary trouble seemed to be the
cause of it all. A single box of Fo
ley Kidney Pills gave me such relief
that I cannot praise them too highly."
This standard remedy-for kidney and
bladder ailments can be taken with
safety for backache, swollen ankles
and rheumatic pains. Jones Drug Co.
Tax Limitation Lower Taxes
If there has been any doubt in the
mind of any voter about the wisdom
of lmiting taxaDion, it should
have been removed by the events of
the past few days.
The budgets of proposed expendi
tures for next year have been made
up by the state and by the city- of
Portland. The budgets call for ex
penditures way in excess of anything
which has been attempted before.
Every state institution has asked for
big increases in appropriations, ex
cept one. The one institution which
does not ask for an increase is the
East Oregon Insane asylum. Every
other institution asks for big increas
es. Do our public officials feel that
the taxpayers can afford to pay unlim
ited taxes? What is to become of
the state if this annual increase does
not stop ? How can anyone afford to
pay the tax bills? It is an outrage
to ask the tax-payers for big Increas,
es in appropriations when it is so
hard to get money. Taxes should be
decreasing these times, not increas
ing. Contributed.
Issues Challenge
P. W. Meredith, socialist candidate
for the legislature, has issued a
sweeping debate challenge; Mr. Mer
edith, in a signed statement made
Saturday, says: "I hereby issue a
challenge to my opponents on the
democrat and republican tickets to
joint discussion of the. issues of the
day anywhere in Clackamas county;
details to be arranged by candidates
or their committees."

Railroad Company Loses Heavily
, From Mexican Revolution
To replace equipment vacated dur
ing the last fiscal year and to provide
for increased requirements, the South
ern Pacific company has placed orders
for 28 locomotives, 50 passenger cars
and 4204 freight cars, the greater part
of which is to be delivered during the
last half of 1916, according to the an
nual report of the. Southern Pacific
company and proprietary companies
for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1916, just made public. The report
shows that the railroad has also or
dered two ocean going freight steam
ers to be delivered in August and Sep
tember of 1917 and for use on the At
lantic system.
The cost of property of the South
ern Pacific company of , Mexico de
stroyed since the Madero revolution
is placed at $2,510,276 gold. . Under

Shooting Stars Visible
Two separate annual displays of
shooting stars will be visible through
out Oregon November 15 and 24,ac
cording to E. H. McAllister, professor
of astronomy and mechanics in the
state university. The display due on
November 15 may be seen in the early
morning hours; that of November 24
is due in the early evening. The
earth at these times will be cutting
through the orbit of the swarm of me
teors from which the stars come.
Display of the aurora borealis will
be visible in Oregon next winter for
the first time in 11 years, Mr. McAl
ister says. Northern lights are dim
in this latitude of the west, except
when the sun spots have reached their
maximum number, which occurs only
once in eleven years. A connection
between the sun sjpots and the aurora
borealis is believed by many scientists
to exist. ' .
