I'm just positively positive that the , unprecedented hoard of American prosperity will break forth into' golden streams of capital for western investment in this good year of 1917. The great rush at the U. S. Land Office here in the first week in January under the 640-acre homestead act, has' practically cleaned up free land in Quay County, New Mexico, . , but bed. rock prices of $3, $5 and $10 per acre for intrinsically valuable land, plead with and beseech theMnvestor. My meager capital is tied up in Ashland and Jackson County land. If I can sell all of it or a part of it NOW, I can profit by a heavy discount. "A nimble nickle is worth a slow dime." Write for new prices, or, better still, book up my stuff and make offer by letter or wire. "Take time by the 'fetlock' . ' ' QUICK. HURRY. RUSH. MAKE HASTE. AND WELCOME.' BflBBHSUi Warship on Beach Near Eureka, Calif. Saturday in a dense Cog. The crew were all taken off by breeches buoy. The warship had two cables attached to the submarine, which was stranded in eight feet of sand. It was believed the cruiser drifted into the breakers in the early morning hours. The Milwaukee cost over three million dollars and Is one of the largest cruis ers in tho Pacific fleet. The Humboldt bay section of Cali fornia has been known as the "grave yard of many ships." Within less than six months three disasters of note have occurred there. The first was tho wreck of the big liner Bear, which went aground near Cape Men docino with a loss of five lives. The Bear Is still high and dry on the sand and has been virtually abandoned. A month ago tha submarine H-3 drifted ashore In a fog near Samoa. The crow was rescued after a harrow ing experience. Thursday, however, one member of the Milwaukee's crew was drowned and two were badly in jured during an attempt to pull the H-3 off. Saturday's disaster makes the third in this section. Would Stamp Storage Eggs Resolutions memoralizing the Ore gon legislature to enact a law calling for the stamping of cold storage eggs as a cold storage commodity were adopted by the Oregon State Poultry Association Thursday afternoon in session at Medford. The resolutions were passed as a result of the boycott In many cities directed against the cold storage egg. Labeling of cold storage eggs, It is thought, will be a measure of protec tion for the poultrymen engaged In the marketing of fresh eggs. The resolution as adopted follows: "Resolved, that the Oregon State Poultry Association memorialize the Oregon state legislature to enact a law at its present session requiring cold-storage egs to be plainly stamped as a cold-storage commod ity and to provide a penalty for neglect so to do commensurate with the offence." WEATHER $ Forecast for the Week Begin a nlnir Hnndnv. January 14. S Washington, D. C, Jan. 13. Pacific States: General rains s 8 will fall over the Pacific states Q the first half of the week and will be frequent thereafter; temperature will average below $ the seasonal normal. ' S . The number of fires suppressed on national forest lands during the calen dar year 1915 was 6,324, as against 7,018 in 1914yand an average annual number of 4,759 during the past five years, saya. Henry S. Graves, chief of the Forest Service, In his annual re port Just published. While more than the average number of fires ocr curred, the timbered area burned over was but 156,416 acres, or 30 per cent less than the avei age per year for the period 1911-1915 Inclusive. The av erage loss per fire was $60.41. Forty four per cen of the fires were con fined to a;eas of less than one-quarter plan acre. . - v SNAP IT UP. GOOD. THE PROFIT 'IS YOURS J. REASONER, TUCUMCARI, N. M. TtSBBS Blue Ledge E. R. Bonds Invalidated Medford's hopes for early com mencement of work upon a railroad to the Blue Ledge district received a serious setback Saturday when, In a decision rendered at Roseburg, Cir cuit Judge J. H. Hamilton overruled the demurrer filed by Medford and ' was a menace to autolsts as It did not other defendants In the Injunction ' carry a tall light, and several drivers proceedings filed by Charles H. Colby j report narrowly missing it on foggy and other taxpayers of Medford, j nights, it Is not thought likely that against the city council, the Southern the highway will bo used for a wood Oregon Traction Company and S. S. j yard again. Bullls, to prevent the city from en- j terltlg Into the promised contract for !i the sale of $300,000 of Blue Ledge railroad bonds, The decision sustains and perpetu ates the injunction, is sweeping in Its scope, rendering it practically useless for Medford to undertake to proceed further in the matter, as the court holds that the contract entered Into between the city and the Southern Oregon Traction Company is not the contract authorized by the voters, but one entirely different, and not bind- lng the company to build any stated amount of road, or in any manner fol lowing out the Intention of the vot ers. The court also holds that the as sumption of the $57,000 mortgage upon the Rogue River Valley railroad by the city was not authorized by the charter amendment. Sufficient evi dence of conspiracy and fraud Is de clared existing to Invalidate proceed ings through the agreement declared in the complaint existing between the city and Mr. Bullis, whereby the transaction is merely a loan credit by the city to the traction company. Three Days Oiferings At the Vining Tonight. Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne come to the Vining tonight In "Diplomatic Service," a screen play of Intrigue and strong acting. Tuesday. Tuesday brings Charlie Chaplin, the inimitable, In one of his best, "The Count." Also Louis Huff in "The Reward of Patience."

Wednesday brings Theda Bara as Juliet in the greatest masterpiece of all time, "Romeo and Juliet." Miss Bara is one of the most famous por trayers of emotional roles who has ever appeared on the screen, and her Juliet will be worth seeing. Lazy Hubbies Will Repent in Jail The "lazy husband" law, which was prepared recently at the instiga tion of tho prosecuting officers of the state, will be submitted to the con sideration of tho legislature at an early date. The bill is very drastic, and if adopted will placo the district attorneys of Oregon in a position to handle shiftless husbands who refuse or neglect to care for their wives and children. Husbands who wilfully desert their wives or children may be sentenced to a term In the state penitentiary, while husbands who merely leglect to care for their wives or offsprings can be made to serve a term in the county jail.
