South-Central Oregon stockmen
have been suffering heavily during

heavy snows in the stock country
around Lukoview, according to re
ports coming to Bond through per
sons who havo Just come from -the

Prolonged cold days and nights
and the hcavlset snowfall that South
ern Oregon has known In years, coup
led with insufficient amount of hay
to tldo them over the spell, have
boon the causes. The heavier own
ers of stock have resorted to moving
their larger herds north to Paisley,
whoro tho climate has not bean so
severe and where bay Is more plenti
ful. They welcome tho change in tem
perature and tho melting of the
snow which It Is apparent Is perma
nent. Local stockmen, according to J.
II. Stanley, so tar havo not suffered
from tho long cold spell and the
snow. Stock, ho says, is In fur bet
ter condition than In several years
during tho winter. Thero has been
plouty of buy tor feeding, but now
tho feeders aro getting on the mar
gin of their Bupply.
"The slowness with which the Bnow
Is going oft now," says Mr. Stanley,
"assures us that the ran go will be
exceptionally good this spring for
feeding, and consequently, a pros
porous season for stockmen."

FOREIGN SCRIBES
FEARFULLY ABUSE
SLANG OF AMERICA
(By United Prose to the Bend Bulletin)
LONDON, March 16. American
slang In England today is a fearful
and wonderful thing. ' The Britishers
struggle with It valiantly, as wit
ness this squib In one newspaper
just after the announcement ot the
German submarine decree:
"Among those seen at the steam
ship booking office was Mr. Alex Q
Jones, ot Detroit. He was most In
dignant, in his breezy American
way.
"Alox Q. Jones Is taking passage
for little old Detroit, ho said, and If
the Germans think they can frighten
him off the big drink by their meth
ods they have taken a long slide Into
the wrong guess shop. Maybe Pres
ident Wilson doesn't think it worth
while to protect Alex Q. Jones, but
the Yankee Doodle boys in Congress
will let Germany know where she
slights and Alex Q. Jones will jolly
well take bis chances."
The paragraphor of the Poll Mall
Gazette did a little bettor in his dis
cussion ot recent news from the Unit
ed States.
"Thoy now are calling Count von
Bcrnstorff a Spanish athlete," he
said. "To understand this you must
know tho very latest American Blang
is 'throwing the bull.' wherefore
one who throws the bull would be a
Spanish athlete,"-- s
