Major George Ray was found dead
In his room in North Bend by Prank

was apparently from natural causes.
The major was 82 years of age. He
was a veteran of the civil and Spanish
American wars and several Indian
wars, had been a comrade of Generals
Pershing and Liggett
R. C. Rowan, with a corps of ex
j perts in chemistry and assaying, has
j been engaged for several weeks in
J Investigating the black sand deposits
I and Coos Bay. The party carries a
; along the coast between Cape Blanco
j laboratory with it and is making the
; most exhaustive research that has yet
I been carried out with the metals con-
talned in the sands.
In small number of fires, an:! none
of which were Important, the past
i season of the Crater national forest
j was a record-breaking one. There
were only 77 fires within the forest

joining state territory protected by
the forest service. The total acreage
burned over was 807.68 acres, and the
total damage caused amounted to but
$763.14.
Continued open weather, with or
dinary summer temperature, has work
ed the strawberry plants in the south
ern coast section overtime, and

Such reports come from all the towns.
The quality of the berries i3 said tc
be quite as high grade as in Uie sura
mer time.
Heavy marketing of a comparatively
light crop of potatoes Is an outstand
ing feature of the November crop re
port of the United States bureau of

average yield of 90 bushels per acre on
43,000 acres, or a total of 3,870,000
bushels.
Salem hop dealers received a tele
gram from the Cunard Steamship com

orities had Issued an order permitting
the export to that country of half of

report Is true, Oregon dealers said
they would be able to forward imme
diately large shipments of hops to Eng
lish growers. As yet no confirmation
of the telegram has been received
from the London officials.
Ratios for apportioning the state
taxes for 1D22 were announced follow
ing a meeting of the state tax com
mission in the offices of Frank J.
Lovel, state tax commissioner at

ment roll, not counting public service

approximate') $18,000,000 below that

The state Industrial accident com
mission has received a check cover
ing the first fine or penalty to be as
sessed against an employer for il
legally employing a boy under the age
of 18 years. The case involved a boy
under 12 years of age who was em
ployed as a skid greaser in connection
with logging operations. He played
with dynamite caps, one of which ex
ploded and blew off part of a thumb
and part of a finger. The penalty as
sessed against the employer amounted
to approximately $112.
Conference was held Saturday be
tween the state highway commission
and government officials relative to
projects made posslhlp hh new
federal aid mad bill. The highway
commission will have to submit a
primary and secondary road system
to the secretary of agriculture for
tha latter's approval. Oregon will
receive about $2,405,000 from the gov
ernment for road work, part of which
must be expended on primary roads
and part on secundary highways, and
a portion Is to be devoted to the con
struction of forest roads
The Farm Bureau can become an
agencj through wliioii the ousinoss
and social needs of any community
can be taken care of if the people
of the particular cora.uiunity only
take enough interest in uu.r organ
ization. The work which have bec.i
done by some of the local Farm
Bureaus for the past year has been
particularly interesting and worthy
of note.
At Boardman the farmers are
handling all of their local problems
through their Farm Bureau. Among
the later development is that, of
organizing a Farm Home Associa
tion. They have also lined the farm
ers up on the Dairy proposition and
as a result four cars of dairy cattle
have been purchased.
The Irrigon, farmers have also
been busy and among other things
we quote Mr. Glasgow as secretary
for this work which arc Worthy o!
r.ole. Coal prices there were exhor
bitant, they established buying con
nections, and delivered coal at Ir
rigon at $11 per ion which was $.
to $4 less per ton than local price,';.
This was a means of bringing the
local price down within reason and
no further shipments were made.
Last year they purchased a car load
of corn from Iowa for local con
sumption, and just now are negotiat
ing for a car which probably will be
shipped by the 20th of November.
This corn will not cost them laid
down at Irrigon more than $25 a
ton which makes a reasonable priced
feed.
The Farm Bureaus hold monthly
meetings, are well organized, and
are getting results ov.i; i,;onth of
the year.
There is no reason why there
should not be a live Farm Bureau
organization in every community of
Morrow county. Every other indus
try is organized and as farmers we
have some difficulties as far as get
ting together are concerned, but we
might as well make up our mind to
overcome them one time as another
With good live community organiza
tions which insures a real live work
ing County Farm Bureau even the
three lions which stands in the way
of American agriculture as designat
ed by Mr. Mansfield, as marketing,
transportation, and finance, will be
overcome and agriculture will re
sume in its forward march.
Application blanks for 1922 licen
ses have been mailed by the Secre
tary of State to all motor vehicle
owners in Oregon, so as to permit
them to apply for and receive such
licenses before January 1, 1922.
MpCDr vehicle owners will avoid much
trouble, annoyance and unnecessary
delay by promptly applying for their
1922 licenses upon rec... of the ap
plication blanks. Deferring ap,..., ,.i
for licenses until about the first of
the year only congests the work of
the Secretary of State's office and
may result in the arrest of the car
owners by traffic officers for failure
to have the 1922 licenses on their
cars after January 1st next. License
plates for 1922 will have a yellow
background and black figures and
letters
Up to the present time during the
year 1921 there have been registered
and licensed in Oregon 613 motor
vehicle dealers, 6,436 chauffeurs,
1 78,620 motor vehicle operators, 3,
106 motorcycles and 116,609 pas
senger and commercial cars, from
which the total license fees aggregate
$2,ai9,307. The fees, less adminis
trative expenses, are distributed one
fourth to the counties from which the
registrations are received and three
fourths to the state highway fund
for use in road construction and im
provement throughout the state gen
erally. The distribution of the registra
tions up to September 15, 1921
.'hows thai in Morrow county there
were registered six motor: vehicle
dealers, 28 chauffeurs, 1,119 motor
vehicle operators, one motorcycle,
739 passenger cars, two ambulances
and hearses, 16 commercial cars of
U'ss jthan one ton capacity, and 58
trucks of from one to five tons ca
pacity, or a total of SI 5 licensed
passenger and commercial motor
vehicles.

practice tends to viborate the even

the plan of range practice. Sheep,
like people, must go thru the crux of
the melting pot, Different airs ef
fected the sheep in different ways.
For instance, when Mr. Levy struck
up "The Campbells Are doming"
the Scotch Shropshiros were all at
: en I ion. When he played "The
Wearing of the Green" the South
downs were all alert, but when he
played the l'lster Anthem it took
seven herders and twelve dogs to
separate the mass. When Yankee
Doodle was struck up passable do
portment of the band was observed
but the black sheep, Trotsky and
Lenine, were heard humming the
Marseillaise, To you and , music
as well as food is part of life. Why
not sheep? If music will make finer
