LOGAN
Every dark cloud has a silver lin-ino-.
Sometimes it takes close obser
vation to see it but it is a comfort to
know it is there. This year thresh
ing bills, transportation bills, hay bal
ing bills and a few others will not be
large and there is the grain of com
fort to the payer, not considering the
payee.
Threshing machines are going two
or more times to a farm as the grain
ripens.
A few prunes ran the gauntlet of
the bad season but some of them are
drying off for want of moisture to
mature them.

vey is completed. The writer recent
ly went over the roughest part of the
route, about a half mile between the
bluff and creek on B. A. Benson's
place, and that will certainly take
powder like an artillery charge in
Belgium.
The writer, while bathing m Clear
Creek last Sunday, caught a craw
fish with a big pincer on one side and
a little one on the other, which seems
to show that God did not intend hu
man beings to fight or he would have
arranged to have us sprout new arms
and legs in case of loss.

day evening for eastern Oregon,

Cedar Springs last Sunday.
The hum of the thresher is a thing
of the past and the grain did not
come up to what it ought to on ac
count of the dry weather since May.
Some of the oats took a notion not to
get high enough to be amputated by
the binder and had to be cut by the
mower. All. in all, this will add to
the high cost of living.

places and hills will .be planked.
A petition is being circulated to
have the voting in this precinct at
Cherryville instead of Salmon river or
Brightwood. This is now probably
the largest voting precinct in the
U. S., extending east and west over
30 miles. It was originally located
here but for some reason it was first
moved three miles east and then sev
en miles east without any legal ac
tion or without any petition being cir

willing that this place be designated.

PRESIDENT'S APPEAL FINDS
RESPONSE AMONG FILIPINOS
Printed in English and Spanish, the
rppeal of President Wilson to the
men, women and children on the
farms within American territorial
limits for full cooperation in orde
that the entire resources of the na
tion may be placed in 'he scales in
the world's war against Germany is
being scattered broadcast over the
Philippine Islands. Thousands of,
copies of the appeal are being dis
tributed by the director of agricul
ture to division superintendents of
schools, constabulary officers, health
officers, provincial officers and mem
bers of the bureau of agriculture ;
field force, who will act as distribut- .
ors. Already the Filipino tillers of j

Oregon City probably never before witnessed a sale where the people took such a deep interest as
in this sale. They know our dry goods are all new and dependable none better. They know our cloth
ing, shoes, furnishing goods, and furniture are the best that money can buy they know this store gives
exactly what it advertises they know that merchandise of all kinds is going sky high in price and
many a man, woman and family are not only anticipating their present wants, but buying their future
needs as they realize that they may never again have an opportunity to buy goods at such prices as are
now offered at this MIGHTY CLOSING-OUT SALE. This is no clearance sale or sale to reduce stock
and unload It is a real, genuine.bona fide closing-out sale and without regard for present high cost of
merchandise we are sacrificing our entire $100,000.00 stock bought before the big advance at prices
very much less than wholesale costs in many, instances. REMEMBER every dollar's worth of goods in
this store must and will be sold and there will be no let up to the cutting and slashing of prices until every
dollar's worth is disposed of. All our fixtures, show cases, safe, adding machine, etc., are for sale and
no reasonable of fer will be refused. '

ren are responding to the war's call
with the same enthusiasm that their
brothers and fathers are showing in
joining the militia.
One of the earliest indications of
the response to President Wilson's
appeal is the request from Lipa, Ba
tangas, for an enormous number of
coffee seedlings. The coffee industry
is especially adapted to this province,
and although it lias been neglected
lately, in times past has been a flour
ishing business. In addition to send
ing several thousand coffee plant
seedlings to the experiment station
at Lipa, the bureau of agriculture
has sent material for the establish
ment of a vegetable garden to serve
as a model for kitchen gardens.
War necessity promises to play in
to the hands of the bureau of agricul
ture, which has been conducting one
of the most important campaigns ev
er inaugurated in the Philippines.
Through its untiring efforts the
Filipinos have become interested in
the possibilities of their native soil,
and it is inevitable that a crisis of the
present sort will serve to increase
their interest to a large degree.
Booms are reported in the growing
of rubber, cane, kapok, hemp; in the
increase of irrigation systems; in the
scientific treatment of the soil all
largely through the efforts of the
bureau of agriculture. It is expected
that President Wilson's- appeal,
through the bureau of agriculture,
will hasten a better understanding of
their soil on the part of the Filipinos.

Forester Asks Help in Collecting
Surplus Hay Crop
District Forester, Geo. H. Cecil,
Portland, announces that the nation
al forests of Oregon and Washington
are furnishing grazing during the
present summer for 177,167 head of
cattle and horses belonging to 3,269
ranchers, and 1,025,843 head of sheep,
owned by 705 sheepmen. These fig
ures show an increase of 462 cattle
men, with 19,478 head of cattle, and
48 sheepmen with 29,102 head of
sheep above the numbers taken care
of in 1916. This increase is due to
the introduction of better methods of
handling the stock; the blanket or
open method of grazing sheep as ad
vocated by the forest service and the
management of cattle under special
rules established by the district for
ester and based on the needs of the
range
In addition to these figures 359
owners were given free permits to
cross 6,535 head of cattle and horses
and 551,895 head of sheep over the
national forest range to shipping
points, and for other purposes. Free
permits were also given to 215 own
ers on account of private lands with
in the national forest boundaries for
7,675 head of cattle and horses and
107,488 head of sheep; 41,647 ewes
were also lambed on national forest
range.
The district forester finds there is
a serious shortage in the regular hay
crop throughout the district. He
hopes, however, that the amount of
inferior grain crops cut for hay will
offset this. He has planned to have
all farmers who have surplus hay on ,
hand communicate with his office at
Portland, and a strong effort will be
made to get the information to stock'
men who need the hay.
EGGS WILL BE HIGH
Poultry Raisers Said to be Eliminat
ing Small Flocks
Becr.use of high price of feed small
flocks of poultry in the state are be
ing reduced at an alarming rate, ae
coiding to E. J. McClanahan, presi
dent of the Oregon State Poultry
Breeders' association. He asserted
that many of the people in the cities
are disposing of all their chickens,
and that poultry raisers who had 180
chickens last winter will average but
100 chickens during the coming win
ter, according to present indicatios.
"As a result of the reduction in the
number of laying hens, says Mr. Mc
Clanahan, "tho people of Oregon will
pay from 60 to 75 cents per dozen
and possibly even higher prices, for
eggs during the coming winter, as
compared with 40 cents last winter.
"The poultry raisers are making
the mistake of thoir lives when they
sell their hens at 14 cents a pound.
My advice is that they keep all hens.
They will make big money before
spring and at the same time perform
a patriotic service by helping keep
down the cost of living."
Mr. McClanahan says corn is one
of the best feeds for chickens and
with prospects of the greatest corn
crop, in the history of the nation it
is not improbable that poultrymen in
this state hvill get together end ship
AfiaJltirn H--4l,1r - ----- .'.1' .
in corn during the coming winter,
providing as cheap feed as possible.

The Big Event
Pendleton, Ore., Aug. 30. The

will compete at the Round-Up, Sep

supreme title. In the cowgirls' re
lay race Ruth Parton, Mabel DeLong,
