I'ROSTS AKH NOT I'ATAL.
Lato seasons and early frosts
havo not effected tho grain fields
of Central Oregon is tho en
couraging report brought to
Present John F. Stevens of tho
Oregon Trunk Railway, by two
inspectors who havo returned
from an automobile trip through
that section, made with tho spe
cific intention of studing condi
tions there, says tho Orcgonian.
The inspection was mndo
partly to sot at rest tho reports
that have been circulated that
owing to tho altitude of central
Oregon late Spring and early
Autumn frosts in that district
are detrimental to successful
grain growing.
Tho reports received by Presi
dent Stevens shows thnt tho
rumor is wholly unfounded.
Photographs of excellent grain
fields, whore the crops have ina
turred perfectly, were taken in
all sections where proximity to
the railroads under construction
has encouraged the growing of
the grain.
One photograph shows an oat
field where the crop had been
harvested. This field was seed
ed in 1907 and since then has
been producing volunteer crops.
The 1910 volunteer crop yielded
25 bushels to tho acre.
A close study was made of tho
Fort Rock country, where last
Fall and Winter there was a big
rush of homesteaders. Most of
the settlers in that section have
lived there but one year or less
and have been clearing their
land of sage brush, building
houses, digging wells and mak
ing other improvements. The
cropraising attempted has been
mostly on the part of the "old
settlers," or those who have
been there two years.
Rye has been planted and has
done well. The railway company's
agents found the settlers well
satisfied with the country and
their prospects.

In many states and districts
the farmers' unions have cured
this state of things. The unions
have chosen their agent, opened
their store and warehouse in tho
'nearby city and applied sim
ilar meteods in the collection,
grading, handling and sale of
all their products to those that
the Hood River fruitgrowers
have shown to be successful.
Since the farmer thus finds he can
sell, through his union, the small.
just as well as the large quanti
ties of his productions and finds
also that improved qualities do
yield their higher value, one
of his great difficulties disap
pears. He dare venture to raise
more, sure of his return. He
has escaped from the hold of
the middlemen.
Again, the farmer gains direct
daily knowledge of the real val
ues of his products, tested by
the sales his union makes and
reports to all its members.
The scientific side of the far
mer's work is being indefinitely
raised through the services of
the agricultural college. It re
mains to apply the business
methods of today to tho finance
of. the farm, To help society in
its efforts after more and better
household necessities at lower
prices, the farmer is advised and
besought on all hands to increase
his products, and let the consum
er get it at a lower price. But
the way to do these great things
is very little in evidence in all
the writings. In rural co-operation,
perhaps, may be found tho
most practical and profitable
way. -Oregonian. .

Careless and forgetful people
who patronize the money order
department of the post offices
well be compelled to reform their
habits after September 1. On
that date a new form of money
order and a changed system of
recording them will be establish
ed. Receipts will continue to
issue, but if the customer losses
the stub and forgets the num
ber or the date on which it was
issued there will be no way by
which the order may be traced.
The books of the record will
show only the number of the
money order, its date and the
amount for which it was issued.
Paying offices will have'a re
cord of the order if it has been
paid, other wise they will know
nothing of it.
The point is to keep the receits
until all danger of tho loss or
miscarriage of tho money order
is passed, says an exchnngo.
The new form does away with
the duplicate system, which was
operated by the use of the carbon
sheoc. It will consist of a long
sheet of paper on which thero is
annarently two money orders
exactly alike, and receipt stub.
The purchaser is expected to de
tach the stub and filling such
data on the back as may be of
value. Theremaining two forms
arc placed in the letter of trans
mission. The person receiving
them carries both forms to tho
post office upon which it is drawn
and paying, tho postmaster de
taching ono form to send to

files the other in his office for

r Tho taxpayers of tho Burns
school district have mndo it pos
sible for this city to have a new,
modern school building by voting
almost uunnimously for bonding
tho district for $115,000.
Tho proposition was submitted
to the voters Wednesday after
noon and but two votes were cast
in the negative, showing the
people practically unanimous for
better school facilities and inter
ested in tho advancement of education.
It is the intention of the board
to at once secure a suitable site
for the new building and make
preparations to put up the
building next year. The present
site is not considered large
enough for the new building and
another, centrally located, will
be secured. Just what will be
done with tho present building
and grounds has not been decided.
The Times-Herald congratu
lates the people of tho district
and is proud of the stand taken
by them as shown by the result
of the bonding proposition. We
have needed the new building
for sometime and while thero
was a seeming indifference on
the part of many who did not at
tend the .school meetings and
take an active part in promoting
tho new building, it is quito evi
dent thoy favored it. This is a
matter that should be mentioned
while passing: There is a dispo
sition among our people to allow
a few public spirits to shoulder
the burden of such work -that is
the active part nnd not give
them the enthusiastic support
due them. They are perfectly
willing and approve of progress
in educational and all such, but
they leave it to a few to see to it.
This, shows confidence in these
men, yet it is not justice to shift
all the responsibility upon these
willing workers without showing
a deeper interest. Such men
court the advice and consultation
of their friends and this en
courages those in charge of pub
lic undertakings.
It is the duty of every citizen
of this school district to take a
personal interest in the new
school building and to back up
the board in its work. Consult
them frequently and advise with
them. Make it your business to
assist in every way possible with
a view of encouraging those in
charge. In this way wo will
have much better results, a good
school spirit and a live community.

What seems to be tho severest
forest fires known to the North
west for years, perhaps decades,
are burning intermittently in
both tho fir and pino belts.
Rough estimates being made are
to the effect that perhaps 200
lives will be lost in tho conflagra
tions, several million dollais
worth of mills, logging camps,
settlers improvements and vil
lages will have been burned,
and the aggregate value of tim
ber lost is now beyond oven rea
sonable estimate and will surely
reach enormous totals. Gilford
Pinchot, recent chiof of tho For
estry Department in tho Federal
service, in nn interview at Wash
ington, dcclnres that such dis
asters are entirely preventable
when congress makes sufficient
appropriation and tho States look
after private holdings. His plan
is through patrol, comploto telo-
phono connection, and tho putting
of men at work upon every blazo
discovered in its incipiency. Aa
a result of this years' nppalling
losses, thero is suro to be deter
mined effort to protect and con-
servo tho timber supply in the
future.
September 5th the great Port
land Fair & Livestock Exposition
will open in this city, and con
tinuo until the 10th, inclusive.
An elaborate program of races,
livestock exhibits, music, vaude

events has been prepared by the
management This will bo the
greatest fair of its kind yet held
in this city as a large number of
blooded animals recently import
ed, and tho best known of tho
old stock, will bo found. A great
poultry show will be conducted
on the grounds. Trained nmi
mals will perform daily and the
races will bring out some of tho
fast Northwest stock.
At the regular meeting of the
Good Roads Association held
here last Tuesday, a number of
prominent speakers urged with
all their power adoption of the
amendment next November
which will permit counties to
bond themselves for heavy
wagon road construction. Until
such provision is enacted, the
Good Roads people feel that pro
gress is handicapped, but if
such a measure is enacted by the
people, they are confident many
Oregon counties will at once be
gin heavy work.
C. C. Chapman, promotion
manager of tho Commercial
Club, has been touring Western
Oregon urging the landowners
to cut up their tracts into such
holdings ns will permit the man
of averngo means to acquire a
homo when he comes to the
state. His argument shows that
in many regions tracts arc en
tirely to large now for the hum
ble homeseeker to purchnsc. As
tho great future of the fruit
business, dairy industry and
other agricultural lines is with
the smnll tract on which the
owner does most of his own,
work, Mr. Chapman voices the
general hope of the stato that
the land will be segregated that
every man coming will havo no
difficulty in securingsuch acreage
as he can work to advantage.
