Tnder the direction of touvlg ner they built a wooden casing to hold bark the sand. Berg was lowered about 20 feet Into the hole. He saw that it was useless and dangerous to go on. anil asked to be raised to the surface. Soundings were taken and It was found that the depth of the hole had been decreased by H feet. R. B.

School children will not Join in the (ig parade planned by the anti-lWuor LACTEAL FXCID XOW SELLS AT 10 CENTS A QCART. Rise Ascribed to Lowering Output Through Removal of Tuber cular Cows. Once more the price of milk has been advanced. Notices announcing a raise of 2 cents a quart a month to take effect October 1 have been made by creameries and milk dealers. This fur ther boost has placed the price at $3 a month, or 10 cents straight a quart. The reason given by the milk dealers for the raise Is that elimination of milk from tubercular cows has reduced the output considerably and that the farm ers have accordingly advanced their prices .-0 cents a hundred pounds. This, say the dealers, cannot he absorbed by the middle man and so consequently the consumer is forced to foot the hill. Where formerly a gallon delivered dally was priced at 3 a month the trust has advanced the price to $9. .10 a month. No advance will be made when only a pint Is delivered, the price remaining at 1.50. which was fixed last October. 'in keeping with the general policy of the milk dealers last year In October the price of a quart delivered dally was advanced from 12.50 to 12.75 a month and the price of a pint was sent up to I1.S0. The changes In the milk prices will nut affect cream prices, say the creamery and milk dealers. FERRY AIDS WORK Oregon Trunk Now Operates Temporary Crossing.
