but no earlier drop' in prices is
prospect, according to M. Tobias, an
official of the Chicago Cloak and

"There is no chance for a drop in

Health Offer.
While a smaller number of rah
bits has been hilled as the result of
the poisoning campaign than had
been expected, there is danger that
the bodies of some of the rodents
may be washed into the irrigation
ditches contaminating the water sup
ply of many farmers, Dr. R. W. Hen-
dorshott, County Health Officer,
states. He urges that ditches' be
carefully inspected to avoid the pos

caused by impure water. !

portunity offered by the quantity
of cheap power In the Deschutes .
Iver. This was the declaration made
today by C. S. Hudson at the weekly
meeting of the Bend . Commercial
club, after he had urged that a com
mittee from JJenri make a special ef
fort at the coming state irrigation
Congress, to elect the president front
entral Oregon. The committee
named to have this work In charge
consists of Mr. Hudson, H. H. Do
Armond. and R. B. Gould. Mr.
Hudson advised that the delegation
from Central Oregon be made the
biggest on record.
Responding to the resolutions of
appreciation recently voted by the
club in connection with the proposed
gift of the Shevlin Memorial Park
by The Shevliu-Hixori Company, a
letter from F. P. Hixon, of La Crosse,
Wisconsin, was read. "I beg to ac

its conservation policy,". Mr. Hixoa
wrote. "It is very gratifying . In

be inadvisable to ask for auch a sur

request of C. S. Hudson that the pos
