2 OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1917 3v NEWS OF THE COUNTY AND SUBURBS Local and County Items of Interest to Courier Readers LOGAN The one all absorbing topic of con versation, the thing that drives even grim war from our minds temporari ly, is the weather. Even the calmest of us are getting restless under the gloomy clouds. We oldest inhabit ants cannot recall a season quite so persistently wet and nasty just at this critical planting time. Our the ory is that we had an unusually dry winter and this is the balance of the account, which we hope will soon be closed for a new entry. Considerable crushed rock has been applied to the main road in places. We hear that labor shortage retards the crushing of rock at the Stone quarry. Some have been mudding in grain and potatoes on the odd day that comes between two rainy days, hav ing become desperate from long de ferred hope. The C. C. M. Telephone Co. has gone half way out of debt this year and is beginning to see some rays of sunshine through the clouds of ad versity. The continued rains have furnished enough water to fill the hole in Fish er's mill dam so the old stones can be used again. Some good from the ill wind. Mrs. L. E. Robbins is at home now, somewhat improved in health. Mrs. M. E. Riebhoff is sick again, we are sory to announce. The clipper birds were very busy clipping off the blossoms of the early cherries and some of them had their wantonly destructive appetites clip ped out the cherries that missed them are ours, anyhow, though later kinds seem to be yet on the food supply list. C. Schuebel was the only road bond speaker at the Logan meeting, and they say he waxed eloquent in per suading the voters to bond the whole state to build fine roads for certain al ready favored sections that need them the least. Rather a selfish viewpoint, it seems to us. Give us market roads first, and then we will look through your telescope. We offer a suggestion to conserve the most important food supply, to conserve health and economize at the same time. Simply grind the whole wheat into flower, which would add one third to the supply, give a more nutritious article oi diet, which is more palatable, and greatly prefer red by most every one accustomed to its use. This is offered by a dairy, man and it is not to a dairyman's in terest to ' have bran fed to human beings. Three new citizens have been add ed to the Logan population, all girls, which was formerly against the rules of the war game, but may be all right, as women are considered use ful in various ways now. The for tunate ones are Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Benson, Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Kirchem and Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery. We hear that Bruno Friedrich has bought a part of the Friedrich farm and will make his home there. One Logan motorist did not know that the Oregon speed limit is 25 miles per hour and paid $10 to learn the fact. MOLALLA mm 5 and received great Deneht tlieretrom.
