With the close of the range season
sheep are now coming into Bend for
shipment to winter pasture, several

At a price of $162.50 an acre the
John Haeer place, near Adams, was
sold by the heirs to John C. Walters,
of Athena. There are nearly 300
acres in the piece, and it is as good
wheat land as there is in the district.
The 300 acres of flax on the Wapato
Lake tract at Gaston is being harvest
ed. On account of the unusually dry
season the crop did not make the prop-
er growth for good fibre, so it will be
cut for seed and it is expected there
will be a good crop of seed.
Indications are that the silverside
run in Coos Bay this Fall will be of
greater commercial value than usual.
The preliminary fishing shows the fish
are larger than common and they are
averaging 12 pounds. Chinook are
practically gone and few are being
caught.
Kirkland Bros., of Seattle, hearing

Klamath county residents are glad
dened by the daily sight of a locomo

toward the middle of the valley be
tween Klamath Falls and Olene, 12

necessary will require two carloads of
wire and about 15,000 cedar posts.
Shortage of fuel oil will not affect
the movement of the Hood Eiver Val
ley apple crop, according to J. M.
Reid, superintendent of the Mount
Hood Railroad company, over the line
of which the larger percentage of the
1,000,000 boxes to be harvetsed in
local orchards this season will be
hauled.
One of the most important steps for
the upbuilding of Josephine county
that has been taken in years was the
adoption at Tuesday's election by the
landowners under the Grants Pass irri
gation district of the proposal to bond
the district for $290,000 to build the
irrigation system. The vote stood 43
in favor and only 5 against the . prop-
osition.
The Willamette Valley Lumber com
pany, of Dallas, has received a large
order from the United States govern
ment for Douglas fir lumber to be used
in the construction of aeroplanes for
the army in France. The mill is work

Only straight and clear timber can be
used. The local mill has received sev
eral such orders lately and a number
of carloads have already been sent
east.
Money available for the rural credits
fund in Oregon is now virtually ex

will be no more money in that fund to

an offer of $10 had been made for him.
L. E. McBee, prominent stockman
of the Heppner section, who recently

at Roseburg when the fine river bot

Thirty Per Cent Decrease During Au
gust, Records of Spokane City
Crematory Indicate.
Spokane people are responding to
the request of Food Administrator
Hoover to guard against throwing
away surplus food after meals. City
Crematory Superintendent Arthur E.
Peterson, acting on orders from Com
missioner Fred K. McBroom, is keep
ing a record of the amount of table
refuse gathered daily from backdoor
garbage cans, as suggested in letters
from the national food administration.
"Our first figures, covering the
month of August, show a 80 per cent
decrease in the refuse colleted from
kitchen garbage cans," said Peterson.
"The total is 144.95 tons gathered last
month as compared with 222.12 tons
in the same month a year ago. While
this plan of economy may mean loss of
lusiness for the crematory, we are en
couraging it as much as possible."
Reports are being sent monthly to
the national food administration by the
city crematory on the comparative
amounts of kitchen garbage handled.

North Yakima A second futile ef
fort to agree on potato grades for

til October 8 without reaching a con
clusion. A majority appeared to favor
adoption of the government standards,

the minority, of which the growers'
representative on the committee was
one, Btrongly opposed this, preferring
that grades be established by weight.
Those present were: M. L. Dean, of
the State Department of Agriculture,
chairman; Ashur Hobson, director of
the state office of markets: Prof. O.
M. Morris, of the State college; John

VALUE OF OUTDOOR LIFE
Only Those Familiar With Freedom of

Too many people are merely on
speaking terms with nature. Too many
are unfamiliar with the wonderful ad
vantage of outdoor. Too many cherish
heated comforts. They forget that
their ancestors did not know what a
steam-heated house meant. It Is time
to broaden our views and to get closer
In touch with the great health-giving
life of the open air.
There died not long ago a natural
ist, John Mulr, who had Hved the bet
ter part of his life with nature. He
loved the mountains and the natural
life of all outdoors. His existence
was a happy one. He died amid the
surroundings of peace, happily, with
a contented heart.
It is only those who know the free
dom of the woods and the health-giv
ing tonic of the open air who really
enjoy complete happiness.
It Is related that a sickly mother,
not a great many months ago, carried
a sickly baby to Doctor Evans, who
looked the boy over and smilingly ad
vised the worried parent to turn her
boy loose in the parks, "let him live In
the open air," he advised, "It Is the
only medicine that will do him any
good."
This same advice can be applied to
day to thousands of cases. On Incle
ment days It Is unwise to expose one
self. But when the sun shines and the
air Is keen and crisp, Is filled with the
germs of life, one is extremely foolish
not to take advantage of It
If parents would only see that their
youngsters are warmly clothed, that
their shoes ore sound and that their
little legs are well protected, and then
turn them out of doors and tell them
to stay there, they would find their

health of their children growing bet

Hurrah! How's This
Cincinnati authority sayt corns
dry up and lift out
with fingers.
Ouch t ? 1 T I 1 This kind of rough
talk will be heard less I ere In town It
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few drops
of a drug called treezone when applied
to a tender, aching corn or hardened
callous stops soreness at once, and
soon the corn or callous dries up and
lifts right off without pain.
He says treezone dries Immediately
and never Inflames or even Irritates
the surrounding skin. A small bottle
of freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callous
from one's feet Millions of American
women will welcome this announce
ment since the Inauguration of the
high heels. If your druggist doesn't
have freezone tell him to order a small
bottle for you.
To Remove the Mots.
When traveling one should always
bear In mind that cinders are apt tot
find their way Into the eyes. An eye
cup, a lotion for bathing and a few
flaxseed should be Included in your
package. A boraclc acid solution will
be found soothing for eyes that are In
