Quarantine Is Declared

A proclamation was "issued by
Governor Pierce yesjenlay placing
a quarantine against shipments of
cattle, .sheep and swine from Cali
fornia into Oregon unless certain
stringent requirements are com
plied with as a precaution against
the hoof and mouth disease which
has been prevalent in California.
Dr. W. H. Lytle received informa

hogs and 2000 cattle are to be
slaughtered in Solano, Contra Cos

California because they are af

Value is about $200,000.
The proclamation is of sweeping
nature and prevents railroads
from accepting shipments until
cars are thoroughly fumigated and
the stock must be refused until
federal inspectors allow the ship
ments. Detention in or passage
through the stock yards at East
Portland, Brooklyn, Ashland,
Rosebure and Junction Citv and

Montana- Mmina;. Man En
thused Over Santiam Pros
pectSays Future Good
Three car loads of prospective
investors journeyed tip. the Sau-
Tiam River Sunday to inspect ;he
propertyof the Lotz-Larsen Min
ing company.
The recent raiiis and wet weath
er have had tittle efi'ect on the
road as a whole and the trip was
made with out incident in so far ah
heavy roads are concerned. This
speaks well for that part of the
country as roads have been a mat
ter of considerable conjecture
among persons interested.
Among the parties taken up was
C. L. Allen, a mining man of
Montana, who has had many years'
experience in the mining and pro
ducing of copper ore in that state.
He like all others who have seen
the .Santiam property was sur
prised at the visible value of the
district, and in an interviewsaid
that he had "never seen such a
Lody of copper and gold bearing
ore any place out side of the more
extensively developed fields of
Michigan and Montana."
A statement of this sort com
ing from is man of Mr. Allen's, ex
perience, can not be considered
lightly, though it was the prime
effort of Lotz and Larsen to open
their deposit so that nil questions
of extent and quantity would be
removed ln-fore they placed
Hough of their stock on the mar
kct to increase their mill and
tram capacity.
Work on the Minnie E proper
and the extension is progressins
rapidly and lietter ore is being
opeued almost with each round
placed. The high grade encoun
tered on the North side of thn
river continues to widen end it is
confidentially expected that the
next few feet of tunnel will open
a face of the rich -sulphide now
present on the hanging wall.
Fate of Oregon Farm
Eggs Hangs in Balance
By HYMAN H. COHEN
(In Oregon Journal.)
The fate of Oregon farm eggs
is in the hands of J. D. Mickle,
state dairy aud food commission
er. Under the previous ruling of
Mr. Mickle it was generally be
lieved by producers and handlers
alike that it would be impossible
lo profitably handle ranch eggs
after March 1, when the new or
der went into effect.
There appears no doubt that
Mr. Mickle's office was imposed
upon by interests opposed to, him
asan egg seller. In fact, their
sales representatives and already
spreading the word that after
March 1 they will have no com
petitors. Under the ruling the farm egg
will practically be prohibited from
the market here, while it is good
enough to be marketed in New
York, the most critical market in
the nation. New York atnd other
eastern centers are at present buy
ing carloads of these farm eggs in
Portland and other Pacific north-

en Arpke winners of the first and
second pmes for designs to be
used on the windshields of tourist
cars the coining year, were also
seated at the speakers table and
were introduced to the members
of the chamber of commerce.
The plans for the Better Homes
campaign which the realtors plan
to put on in Salein were outlined
by Airs. Winnie Pettyjohn. The
model FJetter Home in Salem will
be patterned after the Better
Home which was built in Wash
ington, D. C. last year. Contract
ors and finisher3 will donate and
contribute the work and materials
and the landscaping will be in the
hands of the: Salem Floral so
