6 OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY. OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1917 About the State Resume of the News of the Week from All Parts of Oregon The Coos county agent, J. L. Smith, has just discovered in a cer tain district in the north part of the county a case of heavy infestation by the potato eel worm, heterodera radi cicola, as diagnosed by Professor A. L. Lovett, to whom the agent sent the diseased specimens for inspection. Stock and sheepmen in Baker coun ty face a loss that will run close to $1,000,000 unless there is an immedi ate modification in the weather and an unexpected feed supply develops, stockmen said. Already the cattle and sheep loosses, it is said on good authority, have totalled several hun dred thousand dollars, with little hope in sight for an abatement of the loss es. ' Daily there are appeals for feed from various sections. The report came to Pendleton last week from the John Day country that hay was in such need in that district that it was being hauled 20 miles over the snow to relieve the condition of the stock growers who have been caught short of feed by the prolonged winter. Continuance of the winter is bringing a demand for Umatilla coun ty hay and the dealers are receiving good prices for alfalfa that is ready for shipment. As a result of items published re garding the possibility of a cannery in Roseburg, John Parker, secretary of the Roseburg Commercial club, stated that he had received letters from as far east as Louisville and Cincinnati asking for information as to when the plant would be placed in operation and the tentative annual output. One of the largest transactions re corded in Baker county in months be came known at Baker last week when word was brought from Richland of the sale of the Sturgill Bar ranch and a nock of sheep on Snake river. Charles H. Brooks was the buyer, and it is reported that the cash consider ation was $40,000. At the cannery meeting at Lebanon last Friday evening it developed that stock to the amount of $7000 had been subscribed for. Believing that the successful financing of the company is now assured, it was decided to at once order two can sealing machines from the American Can company, it being necessary to place the order now so that they can be received here in time for the season's run. One of the machines will be for sealing No. 10 cans, and the other for No. 2's. According to George W. Offield of Merril, who was at Klamath Falls on his return from a trip to the north end of the county in a search for hay, Bloomington Bros, are now feeding hay on their Wood River valley ranch near Fort Klamath, north of the city, that is 16 years old, which was all they could get. Mr. Offield says con ditions are very bad and that stock men there are having the most diffi cult times in years to obtain sufficient feed. The shortage of hay in the Lake view vicinity is ' getting such that many of the stockmen are fearful that there will be a large loss of stock un less the winter breaks soon. Already stock on the reservation east of here has been turned out and there is al most an absolute certainty of a loss there. The only part of the country where there has been any hay for sale is in the vicinity of Paisley, and it is understood that this hus all been sold. The lambing season is well ad vanced and nearly all the farmers in the vicinity of Halsey are saving most of their lambs. Owing to the prevailing high prices, farmers are taking unusually good care of their flocks. Stationery for the recent legisla ture cost more than twice as much as for the 1915 session, according to Sec retary Plimpton, of the state print ing board. The stationery for the recent session cost $700.21, while that for the 1915 session cost $:i(0,16, he said. For the last legislature 112, 740 letterheads were printed and 78, 480 envelopes were furnished. The McMinnvillii National Farm Loan association was organized there last week with the following officers: L, D. Moulton, prsiedent; N. A. Deck er, vice-president; secretary and treasurer, Owen A. MacGill. The amount applied for by the members is $29,000, which is five per cent of the stock subscribed. The list is op en for any farmer who may care to join the association. The annual meeting of the Wash ington County Fair association was held at the Rogers city library last week. A majority of the stock was represented. The reports of the sec retary and treasurer were read and accepted. That there is going to bo no trou ble whatever in disposing of the en- Colds Coughs Catarrh A trinity of evils, closely allied, that afflict most people, and which follow one on the other, in the order named, until the last one is spread through the system, leading to many evils. But their course can be checked. PERUNA CONQUERS It Is of treat value when used -t, 1 I.; it i : THE PERUNA COMPANY, Bliy cnei'Kiiig it una uvurnuiuiie lu in a icw nays. Ample evidence has proved that It la even of more value hi over coming chronic catarrh, dispelling the inflammatory conditions, enabling the diseased membranes to perform their natural functions, and toning up the entire system. The experience of thousands is a safe guide to what It may be ex pected to do for you. Liquid or tablets both toeted by the public and approved; tire pack of the Cottage Grove can nery this year is indicated by the fact that for the first time in the history of the institution future orders are be ing booked. President Knowles re ceived an order last week for 300 doz en No. 10 Burpee beans and 300 doz en No. 10 blackberries. Both are to be packed in water. The price agreed upon is higher than ever before re ceived and is f. o. b. Cottage Grove, By next fall the whole Willamette valley will be lively and especially no ticeabe will be the many homeseekers from the middle wset and particular ly from the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wis consin and other states on the north ern tier. This is not guesswork, but based on numerous letters clearly in dicating that a large number will be here for farms and other enterprises It matters not whether the United States will be mixed up in a war or not, they are coming nevertheless, and if there is war, they will come all the quicker. Woodburn Independent. A horse show will be held in Wood burn on Saturday, April 14. Such was the unanimous decision of the Woodburn Retail Merchants' associa tion at the meeting and banquet held, last week. The meeting was well at tended and some horsmen were also present. The Pugh loganberry plant at Falls City, already an industry of consid erable importance to that community. will be enlarged during the coming summer and evergreen blackberries will be canned next fall. C. J. Pugh returned last week from Portland, where he perfected arrangements for the purchase of machinery, boxes and cans for the proposed new under taking. A free ferry will be maintained be tween six o'clock in the morning and eight o'clock at night across the Wil lamette river at West Salem as a re sult of a meeting of the Polk county court and a committee of citizens from Salem last week. R. A. Ward, specialist in the bio logical survey department at O. A. C, assisted by Claude C Cates, Jackson county pathologist, have organized eight major clubs in the Rogue River valley during the past 10 days, and 15 minor clubs in various parts of the county for the extermination of rodent pests. The major clubs were organized at Ash land, Medford, Talent, Table Rock, Eagle Point, Applegate, Rogue River and Gold Hill. The Jackson county court is co-operating with these clubs to the extent of supplying the strych nine. At the Farmers' Union meeting held at Dufur Saturday afternoon the Wasco County Elevator corpora tion was formed with a capital of $200,000. It was decided to erect an elevator near the depot to hold 125, 000 bushels of grain. The following five men formed the corporation: F, B. Ingels, president; C. H. Stoughton vice presidnet; Clifford Chase, secre tary: Owen Jones, terasurer, and E W. Hinman. The loss of 30 head of cattle is re ported by Lulee Walker, a Klamath Falls stockman. The cattle had been turned into a field near Midland, on the Klamath river, and during the night broke through ice on the river and were drowned. This loss and the damage done to a haystack which the cattle raided during the night, is said to have made the total loss close to $2000, including the feed and pas ture charge. Walker has shipped 000 head of cattle from the Midland sta tion. Little Girl Had Croup Everv mother knows and fears croup. Mrs. R. M. Raney, R. F. D. 2. Stanford. Ky., writes: "My little girl had been having croup every few nights. I began to give her a few drops of Foley's Honey and Tar Com pound every two or three hours, and that night she slept well, never coughed any, and the next day her cold .was gone. To all of my friends I am saying, 'Get a bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar for la grippe, coughs, colds and croup. A genuine cure.' " Jones Drug Co. WHAT AND WHY IS WAR? Mr Rurr Says World Congress Might Aid in Ending Trouble Clackamas, Rt. 1, March 18, 1917. To the editor: Some great man said that "war was hell." If that is the right defi nition of war, it must be of the evil. Why do not the rulers of all the nations hold a world's congress and discuss these troubles. It seems that intelligent men and women, too, might find home way to stop this aw ful slaughter of human beings. What is all the trouble in Europe ovr any way? Is it just a family quarrel among the rulers or are the people fighting for some principle? It they are lighting for a principle, what is that principle? What do the people of Europe want? Every nation of Europe has great countries of un settled land. They certainly are not lighting for more territory as they do not use the lands they have. The ocean certainly is big enough for all nations. But just think of the men and ships and wealth that have gone proirmtlv for a cold, usu- . ' a COLUMBUS, OHIO I ' to the bottom of the ocean since the , awful unreasonable war begun, and . what is it all over? Is it just a fam ily quarrel among the rulers and the people of Europe are forced into it through misguided sense of duty Are the people fighting for free dom for home or for country? If so where do they expect to make their home? Which country do they ex pect to settle up and what is the free dom they ask for? I, for one, would like to get down to the foundations of this great war. It is the question that every mother should ask what is the war for; what are the purposes? MRS.

NEW AUDIT LAW Commissioners Will Cause County Book Audits to be Made A new law is to be made effective May 21, which may cause some ex citement among county office holders as taxpayers are likely to avail them selves of its provisions which author izes the examination and audit of county books and recards. The law provides that when any person, company, corporation or as sociation or any group of persons, companies, corporations or associa tions desires an audit of any books of the county, they may procure it by notifying the insurance commission er and depositing enough money to cover the expense. The commission er then causes an audit to be made, and has it printed at the expense of the state.

It relieved me of at least one hundred and fifty gall stones. It surely does work wonders. My brother also had suffered for years and has been greatly benefitted by Fruitola and Traxo."

MAY TABLE PETITION Stringtown Road Matter Appears , to be Settled Happily The petition of Stringtown resi dents for the location of a 60-foot county road through that community has been held up for consideration by the county court, and according to Judge H. S. Anderson, probably will not be acted upon. The court has made certain that a 60-foot road is already located through Stringtown -and that the Southern Pacific railroad has been granted a right-of-way over about half of it. To extend the road another 30 feet from the tracks would necessitate damaging certain home properties and to move the railroad track would be impractical. The court believes the government would be willing to use its funds in connection with state road money when it is shown that there really is a 60 foot roadway. The court can add ten feet to the road actually making it 70 feet wide, or 40 feet for road pur poses. In this way the court will avoid damaging home property and the threatened litigation and at the same time will be able to secure fed eral aid. R. L.
