Approximately 250,000 . bushels of
club wheat were sold by Umatilla
county farmers last Saturday to Pen
dleton grain dealers at $1.50 a bush
el. It is reported that mills offered
$1.52 for first-class Ynilling wheat. H.
W. Collins, prominent wheat buyer,
is of the opinion that there is now
only 10 to 15 per cent of the Umatilla
county wheat crop, estimated at 5,
000,000 bushels, in the hands of the
growers.
John Mills of Talent won the title

cash outlay being only $29.78 per
acre.
Wednesday was the first pay day
at the Grants Pass sugar factory
when checks wereTianded out to beet
growers for their beets. The first
beets were received at the factory on
October 23rd, and the payments made
Wednesday were for the receipts at
the factory during the last eight days
of October, the accounts being i bal
anced up to the end of the month.

The Yamhill county corn show, at
Dayton, was so much better than was
expected that the committee was sur
prised at both the quantity and the
quality. The show was county-wide,
but was fathered by the Dayton Com

That the state highway department
may work in harmony with federal
road officials in road construction, it
will consult with a representative of
the department of public roads in
framing whatever legislation concern
ing highways it may submit to the
next' legislature. State Engineer
Lewis has accepted an offer from L.
W. Page, director of the office of pub
lie roads at Washington, to send a
representative to Oregon to co
operate in framing laws which may
be proposed in connection with the
operation of the ' federal road act.
Since the act makes an appropriation
for a five-years' building program
it will be necessary for the state to
meet the federal allotment dollar for

bear was one of two that had been
feeding on the orchards in that vicin

DISTRESSING RHEUMATISM

It is the exact combination of pure Norwegian Cod Liver

ACT QUICKLY
Would Secede From Clackamas and
Join Multnomah County
The frequently repeated cry for a
division of Clackamas county resolved
in action at Oswego late last week
when residents of that west side town
prepared and put into circulation pe
titionB asking that a portion of the
west side of the county be cut off and
added to Multnomah. The petition
was widely signed in Oswego during
the first day.
The chief bone of contention in the
Oswego neighborhood is said to be
the jitney question. The council of
Oregon City has repeatedly thwarted
plans of the west side town to estab
lish such a transportation service be
tween Portland and this city, al
though there was no opposition to
such a service if it would stop at Os
wego and would not invade Oregon
City. Oswego residents also claim to
be interested because of lower taxes
in Multnomah county. They have
two plans for division, one to take
most of the county onvthe west side
and add the portion to Multnomah,

GRAZING COST RISES
Department Approves Increased Fees
on National Forest Lands
District Forester" George H Cecil,
Portand, announces that after careful
consideration the secretary of agri
culture has approved an increase in
the fees to be charged for grazing
livestock on the national forest
ranges.
This increase will be made grad
ualy for the next three years, until
the charxres reach a noSnt equivalent
to two-thirds of the charges made by
private owners for grazing stock on
their land.
Stock associations are being ad
vised of this decision in order that
statements regarding the views of
their members may be submitted to
the forester by February 1, 1917, in
case they desire to discuss the matter.
For the fiscal year ending June 30,
1916, the states of Oregon and Wash-
ington received $32,820.65 as their
share of the grazing receipts from
the National Forests within their
borders. Without considering in
creased receipts from other forest re
sources this figure would be doubled
by the advance in grazing rates.
