EIGHT PAQE8 THE INDEPENDENCE ENTERPRISE, INDEPENDENCE, OREGON. PAGE THREE Many merchants seem to think that misrep resentation of values in advertising is per missible, and will bo excused by tho buyinf? public because jt has become such a common prnctice that nobody believes the exaggerated statements, anyway. We bcliove that tho public is intelligent enough to realize that thoro is only one standard of honesty and that a mer chant who will try to deceive In his advertising will try to deceive in his store. Fictitious vnlnea and lmntnnnry reductions fill the adver tising columns nowadays. In Uoston and New York the women are organizing to force merchants to tell the truth. It is certainly high time that some effort should bo made to check this objectionable phase of what some merchants choose to call "modern business methods. " During our entire business career we have depended upon quality of merchandise sold at prices based upon the "spot cash" plan to attract, trade. That's why the entire com munity has confidence in our business methods. It costs "credit stores" more to do business than cash stores, besides the loss they sustain from bad accounts. That's why credit stores can't match our prices on DRY GOODS, CLOTHING, SHOES Everything for the Whole Family BARNES' CASH STORE SALEM, OREGON WATT SHIPP "THE BICYCLE MAN SALEM, OREGON Athletic and Gymnasium Goods Guns, Ammunition and Fishing Tackle Bicycles and Repairing Pocket Cutlery and Razors Sun Typewriter, $10 JIM H1LL1RD General Blacksmithing Horse Shoeing General Repairing We do all kinds of Wagon and Carriage Work and keep ia stock all parts for vehicles; work guaranteed Main Street, near the Bridge INDEPENDENCE, OREGON f Sfce CLOTHING and FURNISHINGS That Give Lusting Service and Constant Satisfaction aro Bold at THE WHITE HOUSE, ZED R0SEND0RF, Proprietor.

Rich Exposures Near Lakevtew Are Reported by Prospectors. New Pine Creek Quite a rush was made to the head of Cottonwood re cently by reason of rich free gold spe cimens brought In from that section by John G. Neis. This district lies immediately be tween High Grade and Gold Basin and bears all the earmarks of a coming mining camp. It is now evident that the prediction that many new camps will be developed in the Warner range was wisely made. The ore specimens brought down by Mr. Neis panned over $20 a ton and were only outcroppings. There are scores of claims staked there. Twenty-four people went out in hacks, bug gies and on horseback Wednesday morning, and others went later in the day. At the breaHt of the tunnel in the Fairview, one of the Seven Lakes group on Yellow Mountain, J. P. Hranley, the local manager, has broken into a body of white and yellow quartz resembling ore from the recent strike in the Big Four, which adjoins this property. The strike has created much interest in the district. A trial shipment of ore from the Fairview will be made soon. A plat has been filed of the new town of Braniey, lo cated in the center of the High Grade district and surrounded by the Big Four, Alturas, Josephine, Consolidat ed, Huckleberry and Seven Lakes groups. It is the midway point be tween New Pine Creek and Fort Bid well. Specimens of mineralized quartz from the east slope of High Grade are heavy in iron sulphides showing evi dence of both gold and silver. Mining men who have seen the ore specimens pronounce them first class. It is sim ilar to the ore from the Modoc, Sun shine and Last Dollar mines. TO SAVE PEACH CROP. Prof. Jackson of O. A. C. Says Al most Total Loss Thus Far. Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis That the peach crop in the Willamette valley has been almost wholly destroyed by a combination of cold weather and fruit pests is the opinion of Prof. H. S. Jackson, of the entomology department of the Oregon Agricultural college. When inter viewed recently on the subject he said : "Peach growers are having trouble from two causes, peach leaf curl and California peach blight. This is an exceptionally bad year for the leaf curl. At the present time nothing can be done for this disease except a cutting back of tho branches. Grow ers should make a regular practice of spraying their peaches in the spring with Bordeaux mixture. The California peach blight attacks the branches, causing pmall cankers and copious gumming. For this dis ease oichardists should spray at once with the mixture known as self-boiled lime of sulphur. This mixture is de scribed in circulars which may be ob tained for theasking from the college. The Bordeaux mixture should be used for this pest about November 1 each fall. Both the leaf curl and the Cali fornia peach blight are microscopic fungus diseases. PLANT READY SOON. Farmers About Sutherlin Raising Veg etables for Canning. Sutherlin As a result of the con struction work now well under way on the World Keepfresh plant here, fruit growers and farmers all through this valley are planting a large acreage to vegetables of nearly every variety, giving preference to peas, beans and sweet corn, all of which the factory will accept at highest cash prices. The establishment of this plant in Sutherlin has solved the problem which confronted many who own orch ard tracts: What can one do to make a living while one's orchard is coming into bearing? There are approxi mately 8000 acres of young orchards in Sutherlin valley, the oldest of which are not quite four years old. The reason that many owners of or chard lands have not taken up their residence here is due to the fact that there was no local market for the veg etables and berries which could be grown between the rows of apple trees. " Lake Gets Fire Warden. Klamath Falls State Forester El liott has forwarded the appointment of C. C. Chitwood, of Swan Lake val ley, as supervising fire warden for Lake and Klamath counties. In a communication to the supervising warden the state forester says that it will be impossible for him to inspect personally all the work done .by the supervising wardens over the state and that their success in holding down the fire losses to a minimum will de pend very largely on Jthe co-operation given by the people. Expert Given Right to Save S20CO Salem Holding that the state printing expert has discretionary pow ers in determining what is appropri ate for printing in the various reports from : state officials, Attorney General Crawford sanctioned the move of Prin ter Expert Harris to dissect the secre tary of state's report and remove therefrom over 400 pages which will result in a saving of practically $2000 to the state. This move was also in vited by Secretary Olcott. . WALLOWA RANCH GROWS. Enterprise Men Add to Holdings for Sheep Range. Enterprise By the purchase of 720 acres of Imnaha river land, Vest & Boswell, of this city, have rounded out their holdings and now have one of the best sheep ranches in Wallowa county. They bought the 720 acres from Frank Kernan for 112,000. Their lands now extend six and a half miles east and west, and for three and a half miles north and south, and they control many thousand acres of choicest range. The land just bought consists of the hay and fruit ranch which Vest & Bos well have been renting. It grows enough hay to winter a large band of sheep. It is 'located so conveniently to range that stock can graze within a few milei of the place much of the winter, and always be near enough to the hay to be brought in on short no tice when necessary. The Enterprise stock men now have all the original Kernan sheep ranch. Part of this was told by the first hold ers to Stanley Hayes and J. A. Funk. Vest Sl Boswell bought out Hayes and Funk recently, taking the latter's holdings the first of the year. These holdings were at the north and west portions of the range and included some fine grain land adjoining the re serve on the Chesnimnus. Going eastward from the Chesnim nus, the Vest & Boswell ranch in cludes scattered tracts on which is found the only water in the district. Between and around these watering places, which follow the canyons, are extensive pastlfe lands. Sheep can be wintered on the Imnaha and then pastured gradually westward until the extreme west end of the holdings is reached, where they enter the forest reserve for summer grazing. The land actually owned by Vest & Boswell totals 2320 acres. They have about 2600 sheep now, but will stock up to the capacity of their ranch at once. GLANDERS CAUSE ACTION. Oregon Will Declare Quarantine on Several States. Salem Complying with a request of Dr. Jules F. Morel, state veterin arian, the governor's office is consid ering the question of declaring a quar antine against several states prohibit ing the importation of horses into Oregon except under severe restric tions. In a communication to Governor West, Dr. Morel says the veterinar ian's office has been notified at differ ent times that shipments of horses from California, Washington, Idaho and Utah have entered Oregon with out being properly submitted to the examinations as required by law. An outbreak of glanders exists in Malheur county among horses belonging to sub contractors engaged in railroad work. Another shipment of horses employed in railroad construction has been made from California without being sub mitted to the test for glanders, the veterinarian says, and while it has been his intention to prosecute theBe cases, after reading the statutes and giving the matter careful considera tion, he declares he could not see any way to bring proceedings. TO ADVERTISE STATE. Government Agricultural Expert Fore sees State's Future. Salem C. H. Lane, the government agricultural expert, who recently vis ited Oregon to assist in promoting the school industrial movement, has writ ten Superintendent Alderman express ing satisfaction with the conditions of agricultural pursuits as he found them in this state. "There is a great future ahead for Oregon," says Mr. Lane in his letter. "The conditions as I found them in your state will be an inspiration I can carry back to Washington with me. Oregon is certainly well to the front in industrial work in the schools, and I shall be delighted to advertise this fact in the future upon all occasions." Uniform Mileage is Topic. Salem The Railroad commission has two important matters which will be taken up in June. One is the ques tion of a uni form mileage system. A conference will be held early in June with the passenger agents of all the railroads in the state, at the state house, and a system of interchange able mileage books will be discussed. The other matter relates to log rates and is of much importance to the state at large. A hearing is scheduled to be held at Baker on June 19. Creswell is Objective. Eugene Extension of the Portland, Eugene & Eastern railway southward 13 miles to Creswell is considered by officers of the company, according to the statement of President Welch. Right-of-way for the proposed line has been secured, except franchises for u?e of a street in Eugene and of a county road out of Creswell. The deeds for this right of way were made out to P. E. Snodgrass, cashier of the First National bank of Eugene. Thousand In Farm Dividends. Helix One thousand dollars in divi dend checks was distributed among the stockholders of the Farmers' Mu tual Warehouse company during the last week. The company during the year earned 28 per cent, or $2860 net, on $10,000 capitalization, but voted $1860 to the building fund.
