SOUND ADVICE TO HUNTERS
MAY PREVENT ACCIDENT.
State Commissioners Outline Plan to
Prevent Continuance of Carless-ness.
The way to build up Dallas ts to pat
ronize Dallas people.
Owing to the recent fatal accidents
through carlessness, the state board of
game and -fish commissioners have is
sued warning U) hunters of Oregon.
Sportsmen of Dallas and vicinity
should be especially interested in the
following advice, which if properly j
heeded may be the means of prevent-'
ing serious accidents:
To prevent accidental shooting, ev
ery hunter should wear a red cap, j
shirt or sweater, or some other article !
of clothing that can easily be identi
fied from game birds and animals, es- j
pecially when bunting deer in the for- j
ests. Since there is a contrast be-!
tween red and the color of any bird '
or animal that is being hunted, this
color will serve the best purpose. j
Hunters should never shoot at mov- '
ing brush, leaves or grass with the
expectation of killing game. It is dan- !
gerous, tor the moving object is likely
to he a man. Never shoot at anv oh-
together of ordinary diplomatic re- until you are absolutely positive
ot identification.
To prepare for an emergency, every !
hunter and angler should carry in his
pocket a piece of candle and matches !
NEW FALL COATS THE FAMOU!
PALME! GA1MMT
TRADE WITH MEXICO,
The new Mexican oousul at Quebec
is reported to have said that he hoped
t see the present trade of Mexico
with the United States transferred to
Canada and Great Britain, a pur
pose that merely shows blind antip
athy to this country, losing sight al-

laws and conditions. Mexico has nev
er bought anything American except
what it has believed to be best suited
to its needs and most profitable.
When the choice was evenly balanced
tiie foreign trader has usually been
favored, and this is a common cir
cumstance among Latin Americans.
But Mexico is an adjoining neighbor,
and its interchange of business with
the United States is much larger than
with the people of any other nation.
In the fiscal year ending June
1912, our purchases from Mexico
amounted to $0.3,000,000 and our sales
to it were $52,000,000. The balance
of the trade was on the Mexican side.
Kipping up this situation, it' it were
practicable, would but add to the
senseless chaos which many Mexicans
take pains to promote, without) being
able to say what they want or to
agree with each other about anything
of material value.
Mexico's total exports to all count
tries are less than $150,000,000, near
ly half of which come to the United
States. Its total wiorts are 111 the
neighborhood of $100,000,000 and
Americans supply more than half.
Mexican trade with Great Britain and
Canada is small in comparison. Com
merce between Americans and Mexi
cans is unusually satisfactory because
the products ! of each country are com
plementary to the other, an assur
ance of ennaneiit and paying busi
ness relations. It is estimated that
a billion dollars of United States cap
ital has been invested in Mexican
railroads, mines and other forms of
industry. If Mexican sentiment to
ward the people of this country were
normal anil sensible there would be
no such absurdly vindictive talk like
that imputed to the Mexican consul
at Quebec. International trade is not
a matttT of whims, but reasonable
development and serious, amicable
study. The trade war promised is
conceived in ignorance and ill tem
)er and is simply ridiculous.
PASSING OF THE HORSE TROT
The old days of "horse trot in"
when county fairs could not pull t lie
purse st lings on the ex)ense end un
less assisted by the bookie, has ceased
1I0 le. This condition necessarily
cnangPd Willi ine more energetic en
listment of supMirt and patronage of
the funnel's, and curious as it may
seem tlm most successful annual ex
hibitions are gradually working away
from the "agricultural horse trot,"
l'olk county is no exception to the
rule and fortunately this year will
witness even greater improvement by
disregarding the iicst imuihle freak
shows and jx'ltv graft ing forms of
amusement.
The following remark from Pres
ident V. V. Fuller proves conclusively
that the fair ussociat ii will act in
opHsition to the usual method in
gratifying the circus curosity.
"All told, the fair this year prom
ises to U of even more inlcrcst to
l'olk comity fanners. However, the
'liter! aiiimcut features will not be
overlooked. The farmers visiting the
city are also coming for a liar.l earn
ed outing. They rightly deserve
amusements further thiin viewing
farm exhibits. .1 u-t whal the assoc
iation Mill do in this direction has 110I
Itcen decided, but there will Ik- good,
clean entertainment."
in a water-tight match safe. In ease
of becoming lost or injured, one can
readily start a camp fire.
Lost or Distress Signal : When a
man is lost or injured and need help,
a signal by shooting should be given.
This signal will be the firing of a gun
once, with an intermission of ten se
conds before the second shot, then an
intermission of sixty seconds, then a
third shot. If no answer is received,
.this signal should lie repeated after
an intermission of five minutes. The
answer to this signal should be a sin- I
gle shot from the rescuing party fol
lowed by one recognition shot from
the lost man.
Care should be taken to get the
time between (the shots as accurately
as possible. Hunters should keep in
mind this signal and avoid, if possible
giving it while shooting at game. In
the absence of a watch, the time can
bo judged with sufficient accuracy by
counting ten between the first and se
cond shots and sixty between the se
cond and third shots. Whenever a
shot is heard in the mountains, a hun
ter should couiYtPten to determine
whether it is a signal of distress or
not.
The person who is lost should, after
hearing an answer to his signal, re
main where he gave the signal until
the rescuing party arrives otherwise
he may take the opposite direction and
may not. be found at all.
The following is a condensed table
of signals to be used by all sportsmen
Begin with one shot. Wait 10 sec
onds, repeat one shot, wait (50 second
reiieat one shot.
Answer to signal by rescuing party
one shot. Kecognition ot answer bv
man lost, one shot.
Wait five minutes before giving the
second signal.

Just what to do when the kidneys
are affeeted, is a question that con
cerns both young and old. Weak
kidneys neglected in childhood lead
to life-long suffering. People of ad
vanced years, with less vitality, suffer
doubly. In youth or age, languor,
backache, urinary irregularity, dizzi
ness and nervousness make life a
burden.
There is one remedy that acts dir
ectly on the kidneys. Doan's Kidney
Pills owe their world-wide fame to
the fact that they have cured thous
ands of cases of sick kidneys and cur
ed them permanently.
Mrs. Joseph Hoberg, Grant St.,
McMinnville, Ore., says: "I am al
ways glad to tell other kidney suffer
ers what a good remedy Doan's Kid
ney Pills are. I gave a statement
publicly recommending them in 1007
and I willingly confirm all I then said
in their favor."
