Moderate winds, mostly south- TELLING THE TRCTH "Tell the Truth" seems to be the slogan of most Western districts this year, having reference, of course, to Eastern buyers coming west to make fortunes out of the soil. Have West erners been telling lies all these years T The slogan would imply that they have. Some people would call It merely exaggeration. Neverthe less, there is a reason for the new slogan. Walter V. Woehlke, editor of the Sunset Magazine published at San Francisco, Is one of the "best posted" .men west of the Rocky mountains In regard to conditions in the West. He has visited most every district of Importance in the West and gets his information first-hand. He con ducts a "service bureau" in the Sun set. We have watched very closely his answers to inquiries in regard to business chances In the West and believe he has gotten down to 'brass tacks and is telling the truth and nothing but the truth, although by doing so he tramples the toes of many promoters of laud schemes, The West still offers as many, if not more, golden opportunities in land investment than airy other sec tion in America, but here Is the way' Mr. Woehlke answers an inquiry in regard to public land still remain ing open for settlement: "There are millions of acres ot government land in Arizona and Ne vada, and practically all of them are open to entry and have been open to entry for fifty years. The very fact that they are still open, that no one has considered it worth while to take them up, shows that they are scarcely worth having. In most In stances, these millions of acres are arid Jand barely able to support one steer per ten or fifteen acres. In our judgment, you would be wasting your time and the best years of your life if you endeavored single-handed and without capital to homestead on arid land. It would be far better to wait until Secretary Lane has succeeded In starting work on recla mation projects for ex-soldiers, in ,' which case you would tecelve the preference in the selection of land that has foeen reclaimed." What Mr. Woehlke says of Arizona and Nevada is true, to a great ex tent, of every other section in the 'West. There may be some good public land still subject to home- steading, but such tracts are few and remote from shipping points, -ine aays oi xne wua inaian, cowboy Van Camps DEVILED TUNA FOR A Ql'ICK Ll'NOll ALSO OLYMPIC OL1VK 8AVCK AM) MAYONNAISE KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY Quality First and fifteen dollar cayuse are gone forever, but in Us place are good general farming, fruH growing and stock raising opportunities. KICKED INTO DUTY Here is a line from an Eastern writer: i "It is cause for general satisfac tion that Secretary Baker before go ing abroad directed Col. Ansell to prepare, a bill embodying the re forms advocated ty him In the. ad ministration of military Justice." That is one way to state the mat ter, but as matter ot fact Baker was fairly kicked Into doing his duty. He may not be a bad sort of indi vidual at heart, but owing to Incom petency had to be shown the way by Col. , Ansell and Senator Chamber lain. In fact this kicking process has had to be applied to him ever since he stepped into office. The in humanity ot many courts martial decisions has thoroughly aroused the public, but our present secretary did nothing in the way of reforms until compelled to do so. Military Justice must of necessity be rigid, but no one can fail to be lieve that even military ' justice should be tempered with mercy and appreciation of individual rights. Some of our soldiers, among them a few of our best fighters, commit ted misdemeanors or slight offenses not crimes yet Secretary Baker reserved his mercy for slackers and conscientious objectors. We don't know Just "what arrange ments have or have not been made by the 'American delegates at the Paris peace conference in regard to free trade with other countries, but we do know that free trade wjth Europe and other cheap labor coun tries will not build up American in dustries and give American labor the highest wages in the world. Soma people telieve that the kais er should live live on in some dark place, marked with the brand of the outcast and the vile. But we don't believe in taking any chances with Bill. There was Napoleon and Waterloo. The democ-ate or Massachusetts are after Burleson's political scalp. The leaden ot that party are finally waking up, but they should make a further house-cleaning and tack Sec retary Baker's scalp to the same pole with Burleson's. Free trade and foreign immigra tion are what the United States must guard against In the near future. They strike at American industries and' American labor. There Is much being aald about buying Oregon made goods. A fine Idea! Let Oregon manufacturers advertise their goods and Oregon housewives will do their part. Victory loan 'Monday. AI Last evening at the Church of Christ a good audience heard the message by Mr. Roberts on "A Liv ing, Saving Faith." He contended that the scriptures teach faith as an active and not a passive principle, that the Christian faith is one ot ex treme activity from beginning 'to end. Mr. Roberts possesses exceptional ability as an illustrator and Ma vigor and seal bespeak for him great use fulness as an exponent of the teach ing of Christianity. At the meeting tonight Miss Pat tillo and .Mrs. Drake wllj sing a duet. The subject of the discourse will be, "Divine Blood vs. Human Good." You must clean the stomach and bowels, purify the blood, each Spring or you leave Winter's germs and Im purities in your blood and system.

OUPALO M.V - , , AT TUB MOVIKM 'The llitrder Wlrvlemi" Wlllinm S. Hart's new Artcraft picture, "The Border Wlroless," which ' will be shown at the Joy theater next Sunday and 'Monday has boen dmilgnated by those who have had previews ot the production as a picture "with a real thrill." Of course, every itlurt picture has a thrill, consistent story with action in every toot, but the fact that this one is concerned largely with the machinations of a band of Hun'plot tors In America, on the borders ot Mexico, gives added interest and en ables the star to depict certain phases ot the war at home which are not only timely, hut decidedly fasci nating. It gives Hart a chance to wear khaki; presents htm first as a ban dit, depicts his reform when patriotic Inspiration Arouses him to the tact that he Is at heart a man of honor; shows his effort to enter the army, temporarily frustrated hy his record which la exposed by a German, and his final pardon and acceptance when he uncovers a dastardly plot and exposes the wireless operations of the spies, whose Instruments are hidden In an old mine. Howard E. Morton wrote the story and C. Oardner Sullivan the scen ario. Mr. Hart directed the picture and Joe August did the photographic work. Many of the scene were actually taken on the borders of the Mexican republic. Wanda Hawle is Mr. Hart's leading woman.
