The Misses Kllon and Ethel Whiting, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Whiting were quite seriously hurt last Saturday when their horse took fright at Frank Johnson's auto and ran away with them in the lane just north of town, The young ladies were returning to their home from town and were accompanied by W. C. McLain. The animal thev were driving had been driven by j autos before and while he had always shown a disposition to shy he had never run away be fore that we know of. He ran right toward the machine for a distance and then turned off the grade, the rig not upsetting, but he turned and ran across to the other side again when the oc cupants were thrown against a barbed wire fence. Mr. John son placed the injured ladies in his auto and brought them to medical aid at once. Miss Ellen had six bad cuts, one under the eye, another through the lip and a severe one in the neck requir ing stitches to close them; sne also had a bone in one foot brok en.

"The whole West," Secretary i n included, "has felt bitter toward the lnteriorldepartment. Perhaps that is because of the great distance between the east and the administration here in Washington and the people who are directly affected by our ac tions. The real complaint of the people is that there is too much red tape to be unwound before results are obtained. I believe that much of the dissatisfaction could be abated by cuttingout the red tape and I propose tode vote time and attention'to doing that very thing."

California Drougth Effect The Cattle Raisers The San Francisco Commercial Journal, a very conservative journal says: Predictions are being made in the West that the coming winter will witness beef prices as big as 50 cents a pound. in tne face of this bad outlook the first thought of the consumer is as to the necessity for the jump to this almost prohibitive mark. The explanation la easy. For weeks the cattle grazing sections have been subjected to unpre cedented heat and drouth. Past urage has been destroyed and the corn crop burned up. The ! exigencies ot the situation nave forced the growers to ship the cattle to market because there will be no feed to fatten them. Conditions in the cattle raising regions are so bad that the own ers are confronted by the unheard of necessity of having corn ship ped from distant points. This is an expensive way to feed cattle, and rather than face certain loss the cattle are being shipped to market as rapidly as possible. Next will be a shortage of beef and consequent record prices. For this desperate state of affairs the elements alone are to be blamed, for it is something over which a beef trust has no control. For our meat we depend on the cattle raisers; for their cattle the raisers depend on the feed pro duced when it is needed. When the feed fails cattle cannot be raised. There is no alternative but to pay the prices or stop eating meat. future hope of the people of the Northwest," Baid I)uis W. Hill on his way through this city a few days ago. With the present high prices of meat and the ever increasing demand from all parts of the United States, this state is missing a splendid opportunity when it does not produce more beef, pork and mutton. At the present time Oregon has an excellent chance to go ex tensively into the livestock busi ness. The climate is well adapt ed to it and this should be the leading industry of the state, and I believe it will be within the next few years. It is a fact that , Preliminary plans have been made and another conference will be held at Albany on October ::) in a movement to combine the eight Willamette Valley counties in the preparation and installa tion of a great valley exhibit at the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco in 1915. It has been decided that this is a better plan than to attempt to put in an exhibit from each county. The proposition has met with general approval and its success is al ready assured.

If you wunt to contribute direct to the occurrence of capillary bronchitis and pneumonia use cough medicines that contain codine, morphine, heroin and other sedatives when you have a cough or cold. An expectorant like Chamberlain's Cough Reme dy is what is Pded. That cleans out the culture beds or breeding plao I for the germs of pneumonia and other germ dis eases. Thai is why pneumonia never results from a eold when Chamberlain's Cough remedy is used. It has a world wide repu tation for its cures. It contains i no morphine or other sedative.

Swine trade conditions are an uncertain quantity at present and values fluctuated easily. Tops ranged from 8.70 to $8.) with tendency downward. Out let is fair for good light hogs, and smooth heavy weights, but size of receipts during the next six days will be the most Infill ential factor on the market.

Lambs failed to reach Over 5.00 at weeks close, but the number offered for sale was so small and quality so ordinary the trade could not settle on a sub stantial price, tlenerally mutton and lambs are steady if quality is choice.

Following are some figures from the Oregon Agricultural College, Cervallis: With an ag ricultural production of about $140,000,000 for the year 1913 and $13,000,000 in excess of last year's valuation the Oregon farmer need not fear that he will be overtaken by hard times. The exact figures, based on esti mates made by Dr. Withycombe, Director of the Experiment Sta tion, are $139,505,326 for the cur rent year, and $120,764,049 for the preceding year. The total valuation is made up of $74,099,165 representing crop values and of $65,405,500 repre senting the value of other agri cultural products. The leading crop money-maker is wheat, with an estimated production of 22, 146.887 bushels, valued at $16, 510,165. Its nearest competitor is hav. 1,511,621 tons, valued at $13,604,589. The value of the fruit crop is $8,000,000. The figures for clover seed, while the lowest of the nine s?parately ! listed porducts, are in many ways the most gratifying of all. They represent a new industry, vindicate the contention of the College authorities that clover and alfalfa can be and are grown successfully, and indicate that valuable additions to the fertility of Oregon farms have been made. Of agricultural products other than crops the value of livestock sales is $34,807,500; dairy pro ducts, $18,425,000; poultry and eggs, $8,700,000; wool, $2,975,000 mohair, $35(5,250, and honey $141,750.
