It is n small, conven iently sized book for carrying in the pocket of a hunting coat for reiuly reference nnd contains in its 31 pages u largo amount of practical and useful information for those who spread their table under tho greenwood bough. It was propared by tho school of domestic science nnd nrt for tho special use of forest rangers, campers, mining prospectots, and sportsmen. It follows somewhat tho lines of instruction in the courso in camp cookery given at tho college during the year for the forestry, mining and survey- ing'students. Believing that they could re lieve some of tho "blue days" in camp consequent upon "and" biscuits, half-cooked "spuds" and monotonously greasy fried things, too domestic science teachers obtained from the for estry department of the college and the Forestry Service a ration list and camp equipment selected by men of many years field experience, and prepared a list of 05 carefully selected recipes. These are so simply explained that it takes no initial culinary skill to use them. They are also conveniently indexed at the back of tho book. Tho ration list, sufficient for one man for 100 days, or 100 men for one day, as given in tho book, may be used ns a basis for mak ing up supplies for camping par ties. It includes the follewing: 100 lbs. fresh meat including fish and poultry; 50 lbs of cured meat, canned meat or cheese; 15 lbs. lard; 80 lbs. flour, bread or crack ers; 15 lbs corn-meal, cereals, macaroni, sago, or corn-starch, 5 lbs. baking powder or yeast cakes; 40 lbs. sugar; 1 gallon molasses; 12 lbs. cofrec;2 lbs tea, chocolate or cocoa; 2 cans con densed milk; 10 lbs. butter; 20 lbs. dried fruit; 20 lbs rice or beans; 100 lbs potatoes or other f-csh vegetables, 30 cans canned vegetables or fruit; 4 oz. flavor ing extracts; 8 oz. pepper or mus tard, 3 qta. pickles; 1 qt vinegar, and 4 lbs salt. Eggs may bo substituted for fresh meat at the rate of 8 eggs to a pound of meat Fresh and cured meats may be interchang ed at the rate of 5 pounds of the fresh for two of cured. A sub stitution of fresh milk may also be made for condensed at the rate of 5 quarts of fresh to a can of the other. Likewise fresh fruit may take the place of the dried in the ratio of 5 lbs of fresh to 1 of dried. A ration, ns the word is commonly used, is the food estimated to be necessary for one man for one day. The amount in this list is designated to be sufficiently liberal and var ied for all circumstances, and is the maximum which should not be exceeded. On a basis of this list a party of six may ho comfortably fed for 17 days. Tho cost will vary necessarily, with tho location, being from 45 to 55 cents a man for a day if near largo markets and convenient to railways. Where pack horses must bo UBed, or transportation is otherwise difficult tho omission of the heav ier provisions, such as canned goods containing much water, and tho substitution of mora flour, beans and dried fruits is advised. Where fresh meat can not bo obtained additional bacon and corned beef must bo includ ed. Whero tho campers pack their own food on their bucks a still further cut must bo made in tho heavy things. Under fa vorable conditions plenty of flour, bacon, rice, beans, oatmeal, corn meal, ten, sugar, dried fruit, and salt must bo taken. As much soap and mutches as seem nec essary must also bo carried. Tho little book also explains how to build campfires, and what Bhould bo Included in tho camp equipment. Among tho interesting recipes are thoso for "army bread", "emergency bis cuits", "Dough boys", "pulled1 firo bread", runchman'H bread, Members of Oregon Development Lea gue Enthuse Over Central Part of State.

In tho party wero C. C. Chap man, ot the Commercial t-lub; U. L. Smith, agriculturist for tho O.-W. It. & N. Company ;.T. T. Hardy, of the North Hank road and Phil S. Uates, of the Pacific Northwest. They all agree that Central Oregon has grown in the last year like the proverbial weed. "If anyone tells you that the settlers on Central Oregon land are dissatisfied he doesn't know what he's talkingabout." declar ed Chapman. "Tho farmers are hnppy and contented and making money.

Even , so lar south as Lake county, which county has closer commer cial relations with San Francisco than it has with Portland, we found intense loyalty to the state.

A few of them need it badly. Wo talk ed to tho farmers and the mer chants in the small towns nnd they promised to improve their roads. They will spend all the money they can afford on this work. They realize the benefits. Klamath County has the best roads in tho territory we visited, Wasco county is second. "Wo went through a lot of homestead ncreage. We talked to scores of satisfied settlers. Some of them have been there only a year. They aro elad to be there. One-third of the set tiers are former residents of Portland and Willamette Valley towns. Quite a few Willamette Valley farmers aro there, too. A whole lot of settlers never formed before. They were car penters, printers, clerks, railroad employes nnd newspaper men. Rut they aro making good. They aro going about it in the right way. They arc 'subduinp; the land.

These people of whom wo speak have come to this city primarily to bo located in a town which offers splendid school opportunities as well as satisfactory employment and social advantages. There are few towns in thi3 section of the country that can compare with Hums in the line of educational facilities. This fact is fast be coming known to the people at home, as well as tho intending new settlers who hesitate in coming to a new country whero tho best of school accommoda tions cannot be obtuined for their children this much our city has at last overcome, and the help the new school will be in build ing up this splendid growing com munity can not be overestimated. Ere another year has rolled nround, there will be a very no- ticable influx of citizens taking up their residences within our gates, coming here principally to take advantage of our modern school facilities a very valuable asset to Harney county and this district especially. Itesidonces for rent are even now at a premium and Borne move should be made to secure ample accommodations for all who desire to take advan tage of the new school to be opened this fall. Not one family should bo allowed to move else where for the want of a resi dence to rent, and this calls for immediate consideration. Hog Raising Brings Rancher Big Profit Lee Hobbt H 5G Pigi and SKoaU Ho Could M.rUet Now Tor $372. It Cott About $56 to Hi.e Them Hog raising in Central Oregon is proving to be a very profitable industry, as Lee Hobbs of Powell Butte can testify. His exper ience is typical of that of others who last December bought thru the First National Bank of Bend brood sows imported from Ne braska. Mr. Hobbs got five, giving the bank his note lor them. Tho to tal cost, with interest, was $148. 50 for the five. These sows have had two litters of pigs. All did not live but he now bus 30 of the first litter and 2G of the second. Tho 30 will average 100 pounds each now, a total weight of 3,000 pounds. Lust week ho was of fered 8J cents a pound gross, making the 30 worth $255. For tho 2G ho has been offered $4.50 ench. making them worth $117. If ho chose to sell the entire 50, thoy would now bring him $372. Ho figures that it cost him $1 a head to raise tho 56 to date, which nmount deduced from $372 lenves a net nrofit to him of S31G. Ice 1 1MB Is your ice box ready?

With such an undertaking it will require men of good judgment and executive ability, therefore such men should be selected that will have the confidence of the property owners and the ability to take care of the matter in a business like manner.
