"IVaee" was awarded the first prize. It was a decorated auto gotten up by the Summit Motel and driven by James Fellows who was made up to represent "Uncle Sam" and with little girls to represent the sentiment One represented Germany, another France while between them was an angel of naenn with an ttHttt frrnnrh The second award went to the Ideal Confectionery which was repre sented by a battleship most ef fectively decorated and driven by Roe Buchanan in the uniform of a commander ol a hip This was a magnificent float and run close to first prise. The third prise was awarded Simon Lewis who had his car decorated with products of the farm.

With such success it means that greater interest will be taken in the future and we may expect a more elaborate pageant next year. The sports and other enter tainment proved interesting and attracted much attention. Kaeh evening on the street were wit nessed competitions for prizes and also in the morning. The afternoon programs at the fair grounds were witnessed by large crowds, the horse races, auto races, base ball and trap shoot all brought out competit ors and much enthusiastic banter. The ball Karnes on I'Viday and Saturday were between Hums and Heck ley in which the visit ing team was successful in both. The game on Sunday was be tween Hums and Cow Cresk in which the home team were the winners. The horse races, one each day were pretty exhibitions with doss tinishis, Dick Hayes being awarded first and Then. Sprague MCOnd. In the aiiln i nCM several cars competed Carter having made the best tune, Myers second and Miillin third. We did not learn the exact time made by the several competitors, it not being very test owing in the condition of the race track and the sharp turns not permitting the drivers to send their machines at their best speed. The four block auto race on the street starting with a dead engins was won by .lames Kich- srdson with (too Buchanan so ond. This was exciting and the foot races for boys, nirls, married ladies and single ladies, potato race on horseback, all the events In fact had competitors and were a big part of the three days of fun. Taken all in all it was a big success and every visitor will make it a point to be in Hums next year SI they had a glorious time and may expect even a bet ter one next year.

However, this would seem unnecessary as the lake bed could be missed by changing the line onlv a short distance to the north of the pre sent survey. It is pointed out that the Arsl work of building the road would be greater but that in the end such a move would justify SB it could not be k pi in good condition UlltHIgh the swamp. One rumor is to lbs cH'ect that the road would come through this Valley over the more north ern route and connect with the Deschutes line at Mend, while another is to the cllVct that the east and west line would make no attempt to connect at Bead but would take the most direct route to a connection with Coos Hay. The matter of its western con nection has but little local inter est other than the benefit of si direct line lo the epSSl Would have its advantages. The change in the route aCfOM the Valley I has but little significance so lai as service is concerned either yet the closer the line was brought to Hums the less expense it would he to connect up.

Following is an extract from his article: The catalo (the name is from cattle and "buffalo") and the mule would be first cousins if it were not that ono belongs to the genus bos, while the other claims (in with the genus eiuus. The bind between them is that both spring from messall.ances, the catalo being the offspring of tb( buffalo and the gentle domestic cow. The catalo is so hardy that it can live on pastures which would wild huntsmen of the plains. The new species has really been established, and there are now a sufficient, number of cat aloes to make it safe to prophesy that the new animal will play a hading part in the future food supply of the nation. The range is the natural hab itat of the buffalo and the catalo appears to inherit from its wild progenitors this love of the open. Turn the catalo loose in summer and winter; it fattens much more rgpidly than domestic cattle would under the same circum stances, and its mortality rate is much lower. The driving bliz- zar'l of North Dakota does not tend R herd of catalo drifting be fore i he storm for the blood of the buffalo makes the hybrid turn and face the swirling snow. Again, because of the long adaptation of the buffalo to plains conditions, water is not so essen tial to the catalo as it is to the cow. Nor is salt which is so necessary to the cattle that the problem of salting them on the range has always been a serious one for cattlemen to consider at all indispensible to the catalo. which will show little or no de sin' for the salt that is being lapped up eagearly by the cows feeding close beside it. i Better Livestock Desired. An investigation of farm and rani.e livestock conditions in Cen tral Oregon has been made by. Ralph E. Keynolds, animal hus bandry tpscialist of the Agricul tural College, in company with the county agriculturists of Klam ath and Lake Counties. Mr. Reynolds found that the matter of herd improvement has not re ceived all the attention the sub ject justifies in all parts of this extensive livestock district, and .1.... ir.. : . uiai ,io en hi i id iiiicresi growers n getting a hetter class of tarm ,a"imals 1,v Active breeding and j tlu' vm ,,f l,lir'--b'-ed sires is likely u"m K l wiui w nearly response to meet with u hearty on the part of the stockmen.

Merchants Remove Limits Between City and Country A movement significant for the popularity of nationally ad vertised goods, fur the develop ment of rural communities, and for the prosperity of small town merchants, has sprung up in a little town of Hampton, Iowa. The aim of the movement seems to be to remove the boundary lines between the town and country, As one merchant ex pressed it, "We are going to push the boundary of the town clear out to the county line." M m ... . r.very iarmer in inc county is going to be led to feel that he is a part of the town of I lamp ton. To bring the people of the city and country together, and to stimulate the growth of the now almost extinct community spirit, such popular neighborhood gatherings have been revived as automobile, pure food, and style shows, ox roasts, and family pic nics. Over six hundred farmers came over bad roads to attend one barbecue. Hampton merchants use the local Hampton press to tie up their goods with national cam paigns. Hy local advertising of their own they reap the re wards of the wider advertising. In the Hampton Chronicle a few weeks ago there appeared nine piarter-page advertisements, nineteen half-page, and ten full PSgS advertisements, all offering nationally-known brands of mer chandise. Another paper had almost as large a quantity of ad vertising. This movement is significant because farmers need the local merchants, because community i co-operation is a good and help ful thing, and because sound principles of advertising should be taught. - Harvester World. Tick Fever will be Fully Investigated. As result of the large number of cases of tick fever in Kastern Oregon, the federal government is to send a special investigator from the east to assist the state health officials, according to in formation received by Dr. Calvin S. White, state health officer. Already there have been H4 cases of the disease and several deaths reported from Oram, Malheur and Harney counties, and according to Dr. White this number is the largost in years.

No Danger From Animal That Passes Bureau Hy Dr. Il.T. irw, In Uural Hpirit) i nna in my work as acting commissioner for the State De partment of Agriculture, that there is an unreasonable fear in the minds of a great many people as the new state law on inspect ing cattle for tuberculosis. There is absolutely no danger to persons who desire to use the beef from an animal that has been infected, provided it is pass- ed by the meat inspection bureau, The, will h P;,l0ki ., - -- . v , .... . , vuiDiuviauii, uoc made of the new law. It pro vides that owners of animals may apply to the Department of Agriculture to have them test ed for tuberculosis, and provides that where animals are con demned by the department, the owners shall be reimbursed to some degree by the state. Upon test by the state depart ment, if an animal is adjudged to be tubercular, the owner may elect to quarantine or slaughter ; high spot for steers of fair qual the animal, following an appraise- ity.

If the post-mortem to that figure. Trade aooears to finds the animal to have been in fected as adjudged, the state shall reimburse the owner to an extent not to exceed $35 less the market value of the beef if pass- ed by the inspection. If the an- imal is found not to have been infected, such reimbursement shall be made in some high sum, if so appraised, not to exceed $75 less the market value of the beef. There are two kinds of tuber culosis active and inactive. The infection attacks the animal's glands, and with the exception ot comparatively few cases, na- ture protects the food portions of the animal.

It is only in what is known as active cases, that the flesh parts become infected, and such animals are never passed by the inspectors. There is no danger of mistakes, for the two classes are easily differentiated. Market Report.
