THE km of the little garden mole
now- brings the same price In
the fur market that only a few
years ago was considered high for
muskrat, and the muskrat has been
exalted to the position once held by
the beaver. .
I once sold the finest red fox skin
that I have ever seen for $3.75. The
same skin would now sell for better
than 50. and it would now require
only a medium-sized . broad-striped
skunk to bring the price I got for
that fox, while a large black would
bring nearly four times as much.
There are several factors which,
united together, cause this big ad
vance in the prices paid for furs, but
undoubtedly the main factor is . the
failure of the supply to meet the de
mand. This factor is yearly becom
ing greater. During 1916 our export
trade In furs was only a little over
one-half of our import trade.
ToDBgster Traps Moles.
Each month a sporting magazine
contains pictures of big catches that
have been made in the United States
by various individuals. They are, on
the average, about as follows: Twelve
skunks caught in one day last March;
so many coyotes, or opossums, rac
coons or bush rabbits; but mention of
beaver, mink, otter or marten is very
seldom made.
The other day I met a; youngster
out in the foothills carrying a mole.
I asked him what he was doing, and
he proudly explained that he was
"going over his trap line." I .talked
with him and explained a little about
catching moles and gophers, for they
were the animals that he was after.
The woods frequently get- into a
youngster's blood, and he fairly aches
for a trap line. So this boy, going
over his trap line, and other boys
throughout the state,- are- trapping
moles for their pelts and gophers and
gray diggers for their tails.
Skill Required for ' Moles.
' The little mole is a good animal for
a boy to- trap if he is not situated
so he can get bigger game. It re
quires more skill to trap moles suc
cessfully and Intelligently than is
generally conceded. , '
The mole has some advantages
which the other fur-bearing animals
do not possess. It has a color which
la Unique.' making an attractive skin
which does not require dying. The
fur is short and velvety, and will
stand being brushed in any direction,
and its light weight is a big ad
vantage over many of the other
hort-furred skins.
A certain per cent of the skins
taken are prime regardless of the
season of the year, although' the
highest per cent of prime skins are
taken during the early winter and
midsummer.
Most of the fur bearers are pro
tected by state law, there being only
certain months when they may be
taken. The mole being placed among
Injurious animals is never protected,
and trapping is encouraged at all
times.
But the Incentive' for the boy to
trap for the prices the skins will
bring on the market does not seem
very . great when we reason that it
would require about 200 skins at the
average price of 25 cents a skin to
get enough money for him to pur
chase a bicycle. It is a question
Whether it is advisable for the boy
to sell this truly valuable little ekln.
. '. Skins Have Many TJses. '
; it takes only a few skins to make
a pair of gloves, or a dandy mole
skin cap; and a coat trimmed with
mole skins would certainly be a fine
thing.' '
It requires only about 20 skins,
or cay -about 5 worth, to make a
throw, and 25 to make a muff.
There are many uses that can be
made of these skins at home, and
it requires little trouble for a boy
to tan his rabbit and mole skins, and
he can always rely upon his mother
and sisters to help him make them up.
For home use, a different method
should be used than when the skin
is to be sold. It should be removed
by making an incision from the tail
to' the mouth on the belly side. Do
not slit up the legs, but skin them
out, break off the bone close to the
paws, and twist the skin to close the
little holes that would be left by
cutting the'-legs off. Finally, enip
off close to the paws. Remove- all
the flesh from the skin, and stretch
as square as is possible. The skin
should be dried in the shade,- and
when a eufficient number have been
obtained to make tanning advisable,
proceed as follows:
- Soak the skins in water until they
are soft and pliable, then place them
in a tanning solution made by dis
solving one cup of salt and one cup
of alum in one gallon of -water that
is - just a little warmer than you
wish to hold your hands in. Leave
them in this solution over night,
and in the morning spread them out
flesh, side up and rub in the follow
ing mixture: Salt, one cup; alum,
one cup: and arsenic, four ounces.
Skins to Be Rolled.
Rub this mixture in thoroughly,
taking care to get it well into the
edges, and finally roll them up, first
turning in each edge so they will
meet in the middle, but so the flesh
side , will . not come in contact with
the fur. Leave the skins rolled up
for. ?4 ..hours, then unroll them and
give them a vigorous pulling. Finally,
stretch them out square and rub in
more of the mixture. Roll them up
and leave them for 12 hours. At the
end of that time, wash them thor
oughly in - soapsuds, and finally
squeeze them thoroughly, fold, and
hang up to dry.
When the skins begin to dry give
them a good pulling and a vigorous
washing over the edge of a board
Do this at intervals while . they are
drying. This will produce a skin
which is white, sufficiently pliable
to be easily sewed, and much more
durable than if -it had been tanned
by some .of the quicker methods
And I will guarantee much more sat
isfaction will be derived from the
skin handled at home than from those
which bring a few dollars from the
fur dealers. -

latter being at Fallbridge. With the
possible exception of Bend. Redmond
is the most Important station on this
road and the town is getting more
important every day. It is a better
town today than it ever was before
and it will be still better tomorrow.
In fact. I think Redmond has a bright
future ,ln store.
Logically Redmond is the ideal city
point of the great Deschutes valley.
It is almost entirely an agricultural
town, depending for its trade upon
the surrounding farmers and situated
where farmers come from every di
rection to bring their produce and
purchase their supplies.
And -Redmond depends almost en
tirely upon irrigation, for the rainfall
here is very slight, possibly around
nine or ten inches, and dry farming
mighty uncertain. There are a few
limited sections near the foothills
where the dry farmers do well as a
rule, but with a nine-Inch rainfall the
lot of the dry farmer is a precarious
one, a struggle but seldom reaching
beyond a livelihood.
Redmond Is Trading Point.
After leaving Prineville I was taken
for a long trip over the Powell butte
section, a large irrigated district ly
ing east and southeast of Redmond.
Powell butte means "spuds." Powell
butte also means prosperity and Red
mond is the trading point of that en
tire section. The Powell butte pota
toes are the best grown in this coun
try; better than the Colorado or Idaho
or any of the eastern or western
gYown potatoes. 1 make these state
ments advisedly. Perhaps you have
never eaten a Powell butte potato or
a Redmond potato, for the reason that
they are practically all gobbled up for
seed. You probably have eaten Yaki
ma potatoes; if you have you prob
ably ate a "fruit" grown- near - and
shipped from Redmond.
Last season 15 cars were sent from
here to the Yakima country and then
only a fraction of the orders were
filled, for the demand is far and away
ahead of the supply. The industry is
in its infancy, but the acreage planted
is increasing steadily year by year.
If the reader is alive five years from
now he will hear of more than a
thousand cars of spuds- shipped an
nually from Redmond.
But the Powell butte and Redmond
farmers do not depend solely upon
spuds. How could they when they
grow three grass or grain crops be
tween each crop of spuds. Thus the
man with 100 acres can only grow 25
acres of potatoes. For these potato
growers are a body of scientists,
"book farmers," and plant a large vol
ume of brains and thought in their
fields.
The intermediate crops are rye, al
falfa, wheat, corn, determined by the

George E. Litchfield.
SALEM. Or., July 17. (Spe
cial.) George E. Litchfield, for
48 years a resident of Salem
and Marion county, was the
guest -of honor at a dinner held
recently at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Joseph Schilder,
in observance of his 80th birth
day anniversary. Mr. Litchfield
came to Salem when a young
man and has the distinction of
being a charter member in many
local organizations in which he
is active. When he first came
to Salem 11 teachers were em
ployed in the public schools,
while now that number has
been increased to 117 teachers.
Mr. Litchfield boasts of a
family' of 25 members by blood
and marriage, most of whom
were present to enjoy the fes
tivities attendant to his birth
day anniversary celebration.
Mr. Litchfield has been bailiff
of the Marion county circuit
court for 11 years, is a mem
ber of the board of directors of
the Jason Lee Cemetery asso
ciation and was the first special
agent under the federal Indian
service appointed in Oregon.
Because of his long residence
here and close connection with
early business .affairs, he has
assisted materially in clearing
up title to disputed lands in
this county.
his door. He has a residence that
would not be out of place among the
best bungalows of Irvlngton or Port
land heights. And there are dozens
and dozens in that neighborhood as
good and some even better.
Mr. Mustard is sometimes spoken
of as the potato king of Powell butte,
for he usually grabs the first prize
at every potato show. His parlor is
a vast display room of silver cups,
ranging in size from eight inches in
height to two feet. Mrs. Mustard re
marked that silver cups were becom
ing a drug on the market. I am sorry
I cannot say there were several mus
tard sprouts to smash a cup now and
then.
The day before our visit ("Farmer"
Smith was with me) Mr. Mustard and
nis crew had finished planting a
patch of potatoes. 150 acres. That was
June 29. The experts hereabouts wish
their potatoes to grow up to the day
tney are dug, so there will be no
danger of second growth.
Company Is Organised.
The field mentioned is one-quarter
of the holdings of the Deschutes Val
ley Seed company, a corporation
formed last fall by Mr. Mustard with
a paid-up capital of $50,000. They
bought, in sage bush and juniper, sec
tion 19, township 15 north, range 15
south, adjoining the Mustard farm.
Guy E. Dobson, president of the First
National bank. Redwood, is president
of the company; George S. Reid, man
ager of the Portland Seed company.
Portland, secretary; W. H. Bair. a
potato dealer of Canby. Or., is treas
urer; S. D. Mustard is manager;
George L. Burtt, a' potato dealer of
San Francisco, is. with the other four,
a- director. Each one owns a fifth
of the stock. They have cleared and
planted the 150 acres since last De
cember, have another 100 acres nearly
cleared, and a fence along the east
side. ,
Getting back to . Redmond, I will
first mention the general store of
Lynch & Roberts, who are now
housed in a fine 54x90 brick building
of their own, two blocks north of
their old Stand. Across the alley at
the rear they have a large warehouse,
and a basement under a large portion
of the store. Thisfirm has one of
the finest stores in any small city
of the west. The new building is
across the street west of the First
National bank, the Redmond National
bank is on the corner across the
street to the north, and the new
postoffice adjoins that bank on the
north. So the business of Main street
is gradually shifting to the north.
The First National bank was es
tablished in 1909. It has a capital of
$25,000, surplus and profits of $7.
756.38. and deposits of $216,440.13.
Guy E. Dobson is president, L. S.
Roberts cashier, and J. rleming as
sistant cashier. This bank has one
he finest banking rooms in Ore
gon. The building itself, of white
brick, would be an ornament to any
Portland street.
The Redwood National has a cap
ital of $25,000 and profits and sur
plus of $9,205.82, with deposits of
$115,956.98. .; It was founded less than
a year ago. C. H. MiHer is president,
Denton G. Burdick vice-president, and
N. A. Burdick cashier. It purchased
its present home when the First Na
tional moved from there into their
new home. It is a fine and showy
frame building, roomy and well
lighted.
Planing Mill Started.
Redmond has never had a pay roll
of any moment save a few people in
the ice plant, the creamery, lumber
yard and mercantile establishments,
but just now a planing mill is being
started which will employ about 25
men. The lumber is sawed by the
Pine Tree Lumber company in the
Sisters country to the west and
hauied in on a fleet of six-wheeled
trucks.. This is the start of a new
and important industry for the town.
The town has a good supply of
pure, cold water, pumped from the
Deschutes into a reservoir about a
mile and a half southwest of town.
The city is well lighted, and the main

practically level and the soil good

incessant for more homes. The streets
during the afternoon are crowded
with autos and all of the stores doing
a big business.
There are two good hotels here, the

the Hotel Redmond, owned by "Billy"

The Redmond Commercial club. N.

at lunch every Tuesday in the Hotel

There is but one newspaper here,

a fine office and is doing a big bus

Add a half hundred business houses,

the most prosperous of the small

It is taken for granted therefore
that the other plantations recognized
the Japanese union. In that case the
strike was a victory for the Japanese,
and they will come into the nice fat
bonus now b-sir.g paid, due to the
high price of sugar.
The bonus now is about 364 per
cent. The Japanese were receiving 77
cents a day, when they struck for
J1.25. Even at 77 cents a day they
will receive more under the present
bonus than if their demands for a
straight salary had been granted.
They will get over $2 a day, includ

Ten years without a corn
Countless people boast that record
now.
Years ago they started using Blue-jay.
Never since has a corn , pained twice.
And never has a corn stayed a week.
You can quickly prove that corns are
needless. Millions have already done it.
Think what it means.
No more paring, no more pain, no
more unsightly pads. Dainty shoes with
out unhappy hours.
Apply a touch of liquid Blue -jay or a
Blue-jay plaster.
The corn pain will end. And soon
the whole corn will loosen and come out.
The action is gentle but sure. Blue-jay
is the scientific method, created by this
world-famed laboratory.
It is not like the methods which are
harsh and crude.
Try Blue-jay on one corn. Buy it to
night from your druggist. Live the rest
of your life without corns.
