ment. . To wait till spring for this
opening will be too late to do more
than clear some of the land, as no
crop can be put tn In time to ma
ture before fall. If opened now,
clearing can start Immediately and
grain can be planted which will re
ceive sufficient moisture to grow a
rop by fall.
It Is Indeed regretable that the
commissioner of the general land of
fice has received the Impression that
the lands In this vicinity are Inac
cessible to Inspection In the winter
and on the strength of that Impres
sion hat deferred the opening of the
lands until spring. In a recent letter
to the Grants Pass Irrigation District
Hon. W. C. Hawley has Indicated
that the commissioner may be Induc
ed to change his views on the situa
tion, and has requested data to be
sent htm which Is now in all prob
ability In his hands.
It Is to still further advance the
cause that the Chamber of Com
merce has forwarded a resolution to
the Oregon delegation In 'congress.

land.

UNCLE SAM SAYS TO
PUT UP MORE FRUIT
Washington. Jan. 30. During
1917, so Uncle Sam estimates, 800.-
000,000 Jars of fruit of all kinds
were canned by the housewives of
the United States. While this Is an
enormous quantity still he Is not
satisfied and is asking that this year
1.500,000,000 Jars of fruit be put np.
The saving is held by the govern
ment to be Immense and the quality
of the canned article Is Just what the
family wants. Manufacturers of fruit
Jars have been making shipments for
the last two or three weeks and have
warned dealers that by waiting until
April or May to place orders, they
will very likely not get what they
want. Factories cannot take care of
orders now as they are wanted and
are right now oversold up to the
middle of August. For this reason
they ask the trade to take as many
Jars now as It in possible to get. giv
ing them an April 1 date. The food
administrator will lift the restric
tions on sugar so that the crop may
be cared for.
CORRECT TIME EOR

lines. At present wireless station!
each day at a certain hour pick from
the air figures flashed from Paris J
by which the clocks of the army are i -
cyncbronized. This method does not i
insure absolute accuracy.
When the last links of the tele
gaph system are connected, each
day at 1 1 o'clock a simultaneous sig
nal will be Kent to every station so
that through the existing zone, and,
later on, at the front as well, clocks
and watches will show the same
time. This synchroni7atiun is desir
able under present conditions and.lt
is an absolute necessity with troops
at the front when, for Instance, or
ders may specify that some operation
Is to be carried out at one point at
a certain time and another operation
at another point at another time.
The success of both operations may
depend upon them being launched
virtually on the se-ond.
Miles upon miles of telegraph lines
strung on poles labled "V. S. A." now

be found running to base ports, zig
