Editor Tidings: The beautiful valley of the Wallowa has undergone very many changes Blnco last I saw it, 27 years ago. There were only a few settlers In the valley then; as the Xesporsl Indians controlled this section up to two or threo years previous to that time. Improved farms could be bought from $5 to V0 per acre. .Now under high cul tivation with an abundance of water for irrigation, lands sell from $100 to $150 per acre, as Immense crops enn lie raised. One can see the threshing ma chines and coblnes In many ficld3 vlth the sacks of grain piled high and the wonderful lot of alfalfa hay they raise since they have all tho water needed for crops of all sorts. AH over the valley, east, west, north tnd south, everywhere attest to the prosperity and wealth of the pen- I.ie by tho. many large beautiful barns kept as neat and well painted as tho houses, full of hay with Immense stacks and ricks In the fields. What has made such wonderful changes in this viVley? One word tells the Lecret water! Lest an unusual dry season comes they have built a dam nt the head of the river near the Wallowa lake In the upper valley at a cost of. ap- i 1 proximately $60,000 that will raise the water of the lake 24 feet. Tho lake Is 1 miles by five. That Is an Immense reserve they have. IIUIs and mountainsides now are growing wheat and alfalfa beside pasture .for the many herds of cattle, horses, sheep and hogs all fat and sleek. It looks good to me and when I see our own Rogue River valley (tarvlng for the water that Is wasted and which would luring many thous ands of dollars yearly, it seems a crime. No greater need could be done the valley than to conselrve Its waters." Hun Boots. Belgian Babes v5vi'(W,f i,'V' ' l ir 4 i WMf The scenery of this valley is very grand with its water falls and snow capped mountains, but our own Rogue River valley has the scenery r.nd soil (with water) and the best all around climate in the great west. Why should we not awake to our needs and see the whole valley blos tom as the rose? Then our valley rould fill with prosperous farmers and they are the strength and back bone of all other businesses. MRS. L. B. READER. Crushed and bleeding in the ruin of its homes, its hospitals, its schools and churches, Belgium has nevertheless been not the weakest of the allied enemies of Berlin. Its sufferings have united all humanity in its cry for redress, and its indomitable ipirit has roused the emulation of all its champions. German "honor", killed by its revelation that it regarded a sacred treaty as a "scrap of paper", has been buried beneath tha bloodied ruins of a neutral nation's shrines. When the boots of the German superbeast welter in German blood behind the Rhine, the Kaiser's dupes may finally emerge from the self-hypnosis which made them think themselves "super men Reflect the measure of your disavowal of the Hun's rane of civilization in your oversubscription to the Foufih Liberty Loan. FIREARMS ARE NOT FRAGILE Shotgun Properly Cared For Is Said to Be Good for a Hundred Thousand Shots. A question frequently asked Is, "now long will my shotgun last?" or "How many shots enn I fire from my rifle or revolver before it wears out?" It Is Impossible for nnvnno tn aav Just how long a Ilrenrm will Inst, be cause It is impossible to tell before hand what kind of care it Is going to kU """ ie care It receives makes all the difference between a few hundred shots and a lifetime of faithful service. Assuming that they are cleaned enre fully and consistently a good shotgun will show practically no fulling olt In pattern or penetration for probably well vor 100,000 shots. A 22-caliber riflo and a revolver are both good for 30,000 or 40,000 shots. A high-power rnio Is good for about 3,000 to 5,000 Hhots, usually the higher the velocity the shorter the life of the burrel. Judging from these fucts It would nppour that tho higher tho pressure developed hy th0 explosion the more wear on tho barrel, for tho shotgun de velops tho least pressure und the high power rlllo tho most. A rather Interesting sidelight on this Question of barrel life Is n determina tion of tho actual length of time to wb eh a Koo. nhotgun barrel is sub Jwli'd to the fopeo and burning effect r I ho powder dmrgo during Its life time, if ioo,ood M()(H nro flrc( from u Hho ,, ,, ,IIM ()f in )lirrd g flc tunlly ,.pM f , flnmo of th0 pow.l. r vUi,ru for nboul four minutes.
