"Plans for after-war colonization
of American soldiers on the cut-over
lands of the south will shortly be
taken up with the federal authorities
et Washington, where Congress is al
ready considering the question. An
nouncement to this effect was made
toy Clement S. Ucker, vice-president
of the Southern Settlement and De
velopment Organization of Baltimore,
in a communication to the Cut-Over
Land Department of the Southern
Pine Association."
The foregoing quotation has a
world of meaning for Central Ore
gon. The south is getting busy al
ready to insure the placing of re
turned soldiers on its lands. Any
thing we can do to develop our irri
gated sections and bring the veterans
back to them will be more than worth
while.

Virginian Who Has Lived Abroad
Urges Reverence for the Emblem
of the Country.
"Why does the average American
not salute the flag?" asked R. O. Out
cault, a Virginian who has lived abroad
for the last ten years, according to the
Washington Post.
"On the day of the draft parade In
Washington the only man I saw salut
ing the regimental colors was a police
man, probably an old soldier who has
learned the love and reverence which
every man who has served feels for
the flag. When I and the friend with
me a Britisher bared our heads
every time the flag of a regiment went
past a few persons In the crowd be
gan, somewhat shamefacedly, to fol
low onr example.
"In London or In Paris yon would
have no choice. Any man who kept
his hat on when the colors of a regi
ment passed would have It knocked off
for him, if nothing worse happened to
blm. I do not mean, of course, that
one should salute the thousand and
one flags carried In sucb a procession,
but every one should at least bare his
head when a regimental flag goes past.
That's what thousands of men are go
ing to die for before we are twelve
months older. The least one can do Is
to salute It while we can before It
goes somewhere in France."
ALLEGED GAMBLER ARRESTED.
Inquiry has been made here as to
the record of Ed. Crewe, formerly of
Bend, who has-been arrested on the
charge of passing a bad check in
Washington. The district attorney
t Belllngham writes that Crewe was
in Bend a year ago and was convict
ed on some similar charge, as he is
a well known gambler and has also
been in court In Idaho, California
and Washington before this time.

Switzerland's Water Power.
There are no coal mines In Switzer
land, but there is "white coal" or wa

transformed into light, beat and pow

In this snow-covered mountain Is but
little above the freezing point, even in
summer, but the trains are lighted,

and the cooking and beating at the
restaurant are all accomplished by the
utilization of the Icy cold water run

County assessors' reports for 1917
Bhowcd a largo decrease In mimborit
of swino as compared with a year ago.
This Is verified by the Portland 8 look
yards receipts for 1917, which show
that tho receipts of hogs of Oregon
origin In 1917 were only about 76
per cent of tho receipts of 1916. High
prices prevailing for all grain and
mill feeds are rather discouraging to
itho luig raiser. However the reports

Went her Knvoralile.
As already indicated, tho present
winter conditions have been very fa
vorable for live stock In general. The
month of December, 1917, is reported
by tho local weather bureau as being
the warmest on record for the past
17 years, and conditions during Jan
uary, 191S, were very similar to those
of December, but with much less pre
cipitation. A cold wave with consid
erable snow was quite general over
the stnto tho last two days of Jan
uary, but temperatures are higher ut
present. Range stock have been able
to -find considerable grazing all win
ter, which combined with the prevail
ing mild temperature, - has lessened
the requirements for hay. Tho con
dition of fall sown crops is also very
favorable

The following resume of tho report
made by F. L. Kent, field agent of
the Department of Agriculture, shows
the number of stock on January 1,
191S, as compared with numbers on

German emigration to America hnd

first party of pioneers from Germany
landed at Philadelphia, relates a his

relatives, and ail members of a relig
ious sect closely akin to the English
Quaker. Subjected lu Germany to
bitter persecution, they determined tc
seek refuge in the new world. The
Frunkfort Land company was organ

Penn, the governor of Pennsylvania,
a tract of land near Philadelphia.
Fruncis Daniel Pnstorius negotiated
the deal, led the colony to America,
laid out the town of Germanopolls, oi
Germuntown, and became the recog
