The meeting opened with music, follow ed by greetings read by Mrs. Ash craft from the state president. A very fine paper was then read from Mrs. A. H. Russell who was the first local president for the W. C. T. U thirty-four years ago, and some one of the members reported that Mrs. Russell had never failed to pay her dollar (dues) every anniversary for the past thirty-four years.

This was won by the affirmative. A boun tiful Hoover luncheon was served by Mrs. H. S. Palmerlee and Mrs. D. Perozzl, impersonating farmerettes. The present year of the Teacup club will close next month with a picnic. SOLDIERS MAY COME HOME FOU ELECTION According to reports from Salem, furloughs for Oregon soldiers who desire to vote at elections th'i year are entirely within the prerogative of commanding officers of their di visions, and they will not be over ruled. This Information cane to Governor Withycombe' from Seaator McNary, who conferred with Adju tant General McCain at Governor Withycombe's request. The ruling will apply to soldiers In or near the state, and will include Tort Stevens, Canby and Columbia, Vancouver Barracks, and Camp Lewis. While soldiers may vote any place In the state, and In some cases will merely have to cross the state boun dary to reach the polls, it Is pre sumed that many will seek to take advantage of the opportunity to re turn home on furloughs.

Here and There The city council at Its meeting last week variod past practice that gave prUes for the promotion of civic pride among householders in this city by making awards each year to the homeowner who maintained his prem ises in the most spick and span fash ion, and made an order that the prizes shall be given during the per iod of the war to the owners of the best war gardens. Councilman Mc CUntock is chairman of the commit tee that .will have the war garden rrize awards in charge. First, sec ond and third cash prizes will be giv en this year, $15 for the best garden, $10 for the second best, and $5 for the third. This innovation was de cided upon by the council because war gardens are considered of far greater importance than the mere matter of the aesthetic phases of civic life, and a record in vegetable pro duction Is sought by the Roseburg executives. The council committee having the war garden matter in hand will not only make these prize awards, but to stimulate Interest, a war garden on every lot In the city is the objective for which the com mittee members are working. Rose burg Review. The third Liberty loan drive was a great success in Siskiyou county. The quota assigned was 1350,000. The subscriptions received up to the closing hour last Saturday evening were over $760,000, sent In by 5000 people of th3 country. This Is an average of $42.22 for very man, woman and child of the county's 18, 000 citizens. The county will receive an honor flag and one Btar for sub scribing 100 per cent over its quota. Our actual subscription is a little over the quota fixed by the U. S. treasury. There are several hundred Italian aliens working for the big lumber companies in the county, and while nearly all of them claimed and vere granted exemption from the draft, they were liberal In their bond subscriptions. This fact aided to a considerable extent In making our total subscription so flattering. Yreka News. The Lone Star placer mine, located 14 miles from Rogue river has been Incorporated, G. H. McElroy, who has been operating the mine on a lease for the past year taking over the majority of the stock from C. E. Wickstrom. Mr, Wlckstrom will re tain an interest and will be vice-president of the new company, of which Mrs. McElroy is secretary-treasurer. They are now cleaning up on the sea son's run under the old lease and preparing for operation under the new regime. The old channel, whlcn has long been sought, has been open ed up and a streak of pay dirt 40 feet wide uncovered. Additional ma chinery will be installed and prepar ations made to operate on a large scale. Some stock will be sold to raise more capital for operating ex penses. Mr. McElroy Is also Install ing a sawmill to cut the 5,000,000 feet of timber which stands on his land, part of which will be used in the mining operations. Grants PaBS Courier. Driving through the Garden valley section before break of day Sunday morning, some parties In an auto created considerable excitement and occasioned more or less bad langu age when they roused out farmers from their morning's sleep to pro-. claim that the war was ended. Just who the paAles were is not known, but they stopped in front of a num ber of places and either knocked on the door to awaken occupants of the home, or called from the roadside, announcing that the war had come to a sudden end. Generally the sit uation was sized up correctly and the jokers, If that Is what they may be termed, were roundly denounced, but scarcely waiting to see how the an nouncement would be received the au- tolsts sped away to the next place where they repeated the performance, leaving the luckless victim of the prank U crawl back to bed and finish his broken rest. Roseburg News. That a co-operative grain eleva tor will be constructed along the new Strahorn railroad at Pine Grove, sev en miles east of this city, has been definitely determined by a group of enterprising farmers of that district, and committees are out getting sub scriptions from the ranchers Interest ed, according to County Agricultur ist Agent H. R. Glaisyer. A total of $4000 was subscribed at a meeting at the Pine Grove Bchool house, at which 25 farmers were present. It Is expected, Judging from the inter est already shown, that the amount necessary, which Is estimated at $13, 000 to $18,000, will be made avail able In a short time. F. L. Ballard of the U. S. bureau of markets, who came In,a few days ago to co-operate with the farmers in getting the move started, has concluded to remain for a' short time longer. Both he and County Agent Glaisyer are pleased with the outlook, and are working to bring about the culmination of' the enterprise. It Is understood that, Mr. Strahorn, who is greatly interested, has made Inducements to the farm ers for the move. Klamath Falls Herald. Perhaps the most Important piece of work accomplished at the session of the county court last week was that of closing the contract for cruslng of a portion of the timber lands in this county, so that an equitable' assessment may be made upon the properties. Much of the timber in Douglas county Is privately owned, and while these Interests pro tested against a cruise, and insisted that they were already paying more than their just share of taxes there was a general opinion that such was not the case. It was only after an exhaustive investigation of the mat ter that the county court finally de cided to have a cruise made and plao ed the sum of $10,000 In the annual budget for starting the work. It will be remembered that a strenuous fight was Instituted against the appropria tion, but it stood and now the work will be commenced. Roseburg News. Roy Hackett and C. C. Presley of Grants Pass who purchased the Gold Hill Lumber company's box factory and plaining mill here and the saw mill and logging railway on Sardine creek, a 30-thousand capacity prop osition, will use about 50 men with 20 now at work, sawing every day. Their railway taps a large tract of fir and pine that Is not surpassed In quality on the Pacific coast and quantity to last several years. This outfit, sold by J. W. Merrltt, has been Idle for v the last five years. Gold Hill News. LOOK OUT FOR FIRES THIS TIME OF YEAH On account of the early dry wea ther several forest fires have already occurred in this vicinity due to the burning of brush areas or slashings Ahen no fire trail had first been made around the area to be burned to pre vent the fire from spreading. We have one case in mind where forest officers and a crew of men put in a whole night going to and fighting a fire which had spread over a good sized area. It cost money, labor and loss of sleep, all of which might have been saved for a better purpose If only a little foresight and Judgment had been exercised by the party who started the fire. If every one having slashings to burn in or near the national forest will report It in advance to the for est service office, Federal building, Medford, telephone 236, some one connected with that office will glad ly co-operate and give all the as sistance possible. , Anyone having a slashing not near the national forest will be rendered similar assistance by state or county offlcals If they will request it of W. T. Grieve or Lin coln McCormack of the Jackson Coun ty Fire Patrol association. Due to the fact that the smoky atmosphere renders it dlffjcultj to see a small smoke any considerable distance It has been suggested, and Is urgently requested, that every per son appoint himself or herself a com mittee of one as lookout man, wo man or child, and if a fire is sighted telephone the foreBt service office at Medford, telephone 236, or the district ranger, or lookout man in your vicinity, give the location of the fire as nearly as possible, your name and telephone number. In addition to this, if a small fire is seen near where you are, go to it at once and corral it by scraping a good trail around It which will prevent the fire from spreading. If the fire is on a steep hillside corral the upper side of the fire first, make it so there can be but little or no chance for the fire to jump tho i trail. After a trail a foot or so wide, all scraped to the mineral soil, has . been made around the fire, it may be j necessary to dig a sort of ditch along the low'er side of the fire to catch burning chunks, cones, etc., that might roll down. On fairly level ground one can easily handle a small l'lrf if there is not a strong wind blowing. A few days ago a little 5-year-old !;oy spotted a forest fire and reported '.t at once with the result that the f.re as put under control in only a Pl.c.rt time. Every person intending to enter the forests and who expects to build camp fires, ond every one living in or near tne lorests wno wisnes to burn clashlngs etc., may Bave him self much unnecessary trouble and worry If he wiU read the Oregon forest fire laws. These laws are written In a little looklet, vest poc ket size, and should be read by every Oregonlan living In or near the for ests, or contemplating a trip Into the 1 woods. " The booklet contains also extracts from the Oregon game laws. Anyone may get it by writing for a copy to F. E. Elliott, state forester, Salem, Oregon, or copies may be had at the U. S. forest service office, in the Federal building, Medford. It has been found necessary to re quire users of some of the national forests to get permits before building camp fires. It is hoped that It will not be found necessary to pass such etrlngent regulations over our for ests In southern Oregon, for many of us enjoy a short trip into the mountains where, at present we are free to roam at will through the wild- wood as long as we recognize and re spect the rights of others and out duty as good citizens. AMERICAN NEEDS FOR ENGLISH CLAY IS GREAT Most of us think clay Is something as common and abundant as sand or gravel. Consequently it comes as a surprise to be told by the shipping board committee on mineral Imports and exports in Washington, that even in this day of great shortage of oceangoing ships we have to Import from England every year 200,000 to 250,000 long tons of clay. Last year we Imported more than 250,000 tons over the ocean. Why do our manufactures pay the high freight rates now necessary in order to obtain an article like clay from England? There is, as we all know, an abundance of clay In this country. A great deal of high grade clay Is produced here, and of a char acter suitable for pottery, porcelains and other articles which require clays of this grade that our Industries re quire is domestic. V.'hen war broke out In 1914 only a third of it was do mestic. We have not been able to develop and equip our deposits fast enough to make these English clay Imports unnecessary. In fact, it is doubtful whether we will produce as much high grade clay In 1918 as we did In 1917. Our manufacturers want the clay but they can not get anywhere near as much as they want. The reduced output Is due to rail road and operating conditions and is not related to the character or size of the deposits which are capable of large production. Fortunately It is a fact that far less English clay Is necessary to prop er manufacture of paper than Is now used. Besides domestic clay there are many other substances of do mestic origin that could be used in the body, not the finish, of this pa per. Also over half of the English clay we use Is consumed in making paper. So that If a shortage of Eng lish clay should develop It would not be highly serious until the short age became very great, until there was only a half of the normal supply or less available. "Aunt" Anna Barklow of Myrtle Point who has a host of friends in Ashland, arrived here Friday even ing to spend several days. She is on her way home from an extended visit with a son and daughter at Hanford, Cal.
