Let us all pull together in this
work and not allow our county to
suffer for lack of interest and
enthusiasm. The premiums of
fered by the fair aie liberal and
should be sufficient incentive to
create an interest and competi
ton. j It should be remembered that
the fair is for the entire people

1 ing money. Each year tho Asso
ciation uses all available funds
to pay premiums nnd expenses
of the fair and its entire object
is the stimulating of interest in
Croducts of the soil, raising of

what line to follow by the ex

The Association desires to have
the active co-operation of all the

they should take an interest in

"Camp Cookery" its the title
of the latest bulletin from tho
press of tho Oregon Agricultural
College. 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,

"Some of tho roads in Cen
tral Oregon need fixing. A few
of them need it badly. Wo talk

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

As an evidence of what the cs-
tablishmcnt of Public bchool fac-
ihties such as Burns now has to
offer, means to this community
no has but to look around and
nolo the number of peoplo who
have and are contemplating mov
ing to Hums fiom the adjacent
country and including other
towns nearby. 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

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.

hind such a move and will take
an active interest in it. They
will carefully select councilmen
for the next term that are heavy
taxpayers, who will give the ad
ministration of city affairs busi
ness like attention and in whom
the people will have confidence.
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.
Burns has been particularly
fortunate in its selection of offi
cers in the pasf'and now that
there is additional responsibility
attached in the undertaking con-
tsmplated they will be careful in
their selection of men to look af
ter the affairs of the city who
have shown their ability as busi
ness men in their private affairs.
It is necessary that the heavy
property holders take up the
reigns at such a time and show
their patriotism and loyalty to
the city in successfully carrying
out the wishes of the people in
matters of considerable moment.
When they are in favor of such
improvements and arc willing to
assume the responsibility, then
