been washed away and with the flood
went all records.
Hope is entertained that persons
who held land in the townsite and
have since scattered, may learn of the
predicament of the Government. The
could prouably supply a map or other
legal or official data that will lead to
the record being completed, so that
it can be forwarded to Washington
and pass muster before the Depart

Is to approve it before an order of

Federal officers hold that no property
ckn be accepted over which there is a
possibility of claim or litigation.
Therefore, Linn City's history must
be brought to the fore, otherwise the
canal and locks, which commercial in
terests in the Willamette Valley have
sought to have made free for years,
will remain under private ownership.
KELSO.
Ned Nelson is building a fine barn
on his farm. There has been three
other fine barns completed in this
neighborhood since May 1st.
John Roberts, who has been attend
ing O. A. C. for the past three years,
is now touring through California.
Carl Lins, of George, and Mr. Net
zel are helping Joel Jarl to harvest
his immense hay crop. Mr. Jarl has
cut one crop of oats and three crops
of clover from the first five acres he
cleared. The clover mowed over three
tons to the acre for three years, and
there is a good stand yet. The ground
was only plowed once, so the hay has
more than paid for tie clearing and
harvesting.
Henrietta Goldensap is visiting the
home folks for the summer.
C. A. Johnson's residence was burn
ed to the ground on the night of July
8th between 11 and 12 o'clock. The
family were, at the time, sleeping in
a tent while the house was being fum
igated. It is thought the fire result
ed from the fumigation. Very little of
the household goods were saved and
the insurance was small. Only a
week previous a daughter died, and
the family have the sympathy of the
entire community in this added mis
fortune.
A small classified ad will rent that
vacant room.

MUSHROOM GROWING
CORVALLIS, July 22. Valuable
sugestions on the growing of mush
rooms are given by Professor A. G.
B. Bouquet, vegetable garden expert
of the Oregon Agricultural College.
Those afraid of "toadstool poisoning"
need have no fear if they follow his
directions.
"The kind usually grown comercial-
ly is the Agaricus Campestris," says
Professor Bouquet. "The color of the
gills (the under surface of the cap)
is creamy white, turning later to a
pink, and in some brown varieties to
a grayish brown, and later still to
white. ,
"The common causes for failure in
mushroom growing are the use of poor
spawn or spawn killed by improper
storage; spawning at too high temp
erature; too much water at spawning
or later; and improper preparation of
the bed. One of the first requisites is
fresh, reliable spawn. This can be
obtained from reliable seedsmen or
from certain mushroom spawn dealers
in different parts of the United States
The usual price is $2 for enough
spawn for 30 square feet.
"Mushrooms may be grown in a shed
cave, cellar, or any vacant space in
a greenhouse, if the temperature and
moisture conditions are favorable.
The temperature should range from 53
degrees to 60 degrees, 55 degrees to
58 degrees being best. The place
should not be very damp, though, a
moist atmosphere is desirable. Cold
is less injurious than heat. jThat is
why many mushroom houses are built
half below the ground, so that there
is less trouble in keeping down the
temperature. Mushrooms are usually
grown in early spring or summer, and
in the fall and early winter, but m
proper houses they may be produced
the year around. The color of the
product is much improved by dark
ness, but a little light may be allowed
to harvest the mushrooms and work
in the bed.
'The man'ure must be in the primary
sta,ge of fermentation, and should not
contain more than a moderate amount
of straw or such substitutes as saw
dust or shavings. It should first be
piled in a heap three or four feet high
and if dry should be watered slight
ly to start fermentation. In four of ev
en fermentation and prevent burning
in spots. In fifteen days or three
weeks the temperature will begin to
fal and it will be ready for use.
"The beds are usually three and a
half by four feet and ten or twelve
inches deep, with boards outside to
hold the manure. The compost should
be just moist a state when water can
not readily be squeezed out. Layers
of four to six inches should be put in
and packed slightly. The temperature
should be allowed to fall to 75 degrees
before the spawn is put in.
"Commercial spawn comes in bricks
which are cut or broken into two inch
square, ten or twelve pieces to the
brick. These are put ten inches apart
an inch under the surface of the ma
nure. It is usually unnecessary to
water the beds after spawning, which
almost invfriably damps off the
young spawn. If in two weeks there
are no white threads in the manure
about the spawn a layer of loam not
too heavy nor too light, about an inch
and a half deep may be spread over
the surface. It should be barely
moist, to prevent the bed from drying
out. ,
"When the mushrooms appear the
bed may be sprinkled lightly once or
twice a week, but never soaked. The
walks and walls of the house may be
watered to keep the atmosphere
moist. The mushrooms usually appear
some six weeks after spawning. In
picking the cap or cap and stem
should be grasped and twisted to re
move it easily from the soil. All de
fective ones and the small 'buttons'
should be removed. Shipment is made
in small boxes similar to strawberry
boxes or in cardboard boxes holding
two to five pounds, often lined with
paper to .keep the mushrooms in good
condition. The market price ordinar
ily averages thirty-two to fifty cents
a pound, and sometimes goes up to
seventy-five cents.
"The bed will produce successfully
from six week to three months, many
growers figuring the profitable yield
to be half a pound to the square foot
of ground. Many get two pounds to
the square foot. When a bed is no
longer profitable, the manure may he
used for garden purposes, though use
less for mushrooms since the heat Ts
exhausted. The house should be thor
oughly cleaned before another crop
is raised.
Those wishing printed matter on the
subject may write to the Massachus
etts Board of Agriculture for Bulletin
5, Formers' Bulletin 204, 'Cultivation
of Mushrooms.'

CATTLE MARKET I "
HOLDING STRONG I
The Portland Union Stock Yards
Company reports as follows:
Receipts for the week have been:
Cattle 1728; calves 13; hogs -1020;
sheep 5926 and horses 37.
It has been the experience of kill
ers of cattle in the west that with the
coming of the grass fed supply prices
have bone off materially. This year
has witnessed a reverse in form, as
there has been no appreciable let
down in prices. In consequence beef
prices in mid-summer are occupying
the same level that applied during the
winter arid spring months. The mar
ket here for the week was strong in
every line. Steers sold as high as $7
and cows at $6.25.
The hog market ranged strong, with
$8.40 for tops.
The sheep market showed no fall
ing off from last week's prices. 1 here
was a fairly active demand for every
thing that was offered and tho quali
ty throughout was better than usual
ly seen this early in the season.
The expenditure of $50,000 in iiv
creased yardage capacity is evidence
of the stability and usefulness of this
market.
