LOCAL ULSINErirf OUTLOOK.
Speaking of present flnun Jul con
ditions In OrantB I'u.-m, President L.
L. llerrb k, of the Oram l'uss Bank
ing & Trust company, said yesterday
lhat the proceeds of the fsu.uun in
bonds Issued by the city have bee l
of great service to a large number of
people. It paid many obligations
and eaned up financial pressure in
inuny quarters.
There is another matter he men
tioned which he felt satlslied had
aerved to ease the demand (or money
In the rural district nud that Is the
return being received by farmers for
produce, marketed. The Courier ran
gay from a careful investigation of
condltlona that there In a marked im
provement along business lines and
from present Indications there will
be more activity from now on.
WHAT SHALL VK NO WITH MKX
1CO? One of the big New York financial
pnpciB says that the only cure for the
pel Iodic disturbances in Mexico Ih
annexation to the United States. We
have In the punt had opport unities to
annex a large amount of territory
and have not done ho, but In the set
tlcment during the Mexican war we
did take u considerable amount of
country which proved to lie of little
benefit. It Wim tin years and more
before .Mexico was deserving of stn'e
bood, ami it would be a greater
length of time, nay :!0u or more
yearH, before any of the present ter
ritory of Mexico could be made
worthy of annexation as a common
wealth. The whole truth of the business Is
tllflt Mexico needs to be straightened
out and If Mr. Tail would like to re
deem himself, It will be well for him
to undertake the Job. It Is barely
possible that If he will net mixed up
with our southern neighbor in
the way of defending our Interests
In that country, It might help some
toward his re-election. Most Amer
icana would be perfectly willing to
see the republic of Mexico brought
to a realization of the respect she
owes to American citlens who have
plit their money Into that country
and Mr. Tuft would be justified in
sending a few soldiers over there to
help one party or the other secure
peace, but when It comes to annexing
that country. It Is unite another
thing.

INtl. Infantile paralysis is i.uing.iu
MHiif parts ot Illinois and as a icsult
strh t o,uai ant ino pro .unions have
been ordered and evoiy t unit has
Iv'cti made to chei k r he timber
spread of the disease. In l.cuy the
t hurdles and schools have been clos
ed indefinitely. The same has been
done in I'aiut and there appeals to
be a general panic throughout the
state.
In St. l.oiils this terrible disease is
spreading dally and threatens to be
come epidemic. The champs are
that It will need the stroug arm of
net only cities but. the states to stop
Its course. The states named are not
the only places where itifaiitla psr
ahhls has been raging California and
even some parts of Alaska have had
their share. As it Is a contagious
disease. l lati i'ilb be stamped out

better understood than I: is at pres-'
ent.
Food, shelter and clot bins; are the
tlnee requisites for man, the great
est of these is food.
Ttie first question to be deeded In
foods is their .value for building tis
sue, developing heat and energy.
Cela'lnes are. a topgap betwein
health and disease, and are excellent
fui tissue building. Stan by foods
are a 'lower soune of energy. To re
d'oe fatness eliminate them.
Potatoes are better than bread tor
stout people, but It la unwise to es
tablish any diet without the direct
advice of a physician.
Beef is the king of meats, In that
It la most digestible. Meat without
bone, like rump steak, has less flav
oring extract, is less palatable there
fore, but otherwise nutritious.
Veal Is less easily digested because
it Is not always cooked in a simple
way. The simpler the method the
more easy for digestion.
Chicken is also excellent food.
School girls need two meals of meat
a day.
Kheumatie or slow people should
avoid too much meat; nervous and
active ones should eat It.
SEND FAKMEHS SOXs TO AGRI
CULTURAL COLLEtlE.
There Is one subject which con
cerns the fanners of the Hogue river
valley more forcibly than any other,
and that Is giving opportunity to
their sons to attend the agricultural
college. It Is true that not every boy
should be sent to that kind of a col
lege, but as a general thing such an
education will help him select for
himself an occupation. The North-
west Farmstead gives some good
thoughts along these lines as fol
lows: " '.lust two kinds of hoys attend
college those who conue and those
who are sent.' So spoke the president
of an agricultural college. 'With the
former the faculty have no trouble.
Jstu h boys mean business and, as a
rule, they make their mark in the
world."
"This thought should be of great
assistance to the farmer confronted
with the question: Shall I send my
son to college? College may be the
making or the marring of a career--so
may staying upon tlie farm. Every
normal father desires the welfare
of his children. How decide? Watch
the boy. Cive him a chance In the
direction his taste naturally lies.
Many a boy cut out to be a mer
chant falls because his parents won't
give him a chance. Many a boy fails
us a farmer because he should have
been a blacksmith or a lawyer. His
heart Is not In the farm, therefore
he can not succeed. Every normal
boy Is by nature better equipped for
some one thing than for anyth'ng
else. Here Is the father's cue. If
the son has a mania for making
things, cultivate and educate that
mania.
"The boy will largely train him
self up to a certain point. Then if
he wants a college education enotn'li
to work his way more or le-.s he may
safely be trusted to make a start It'
he is half hearted about being -cm.
if is not sate to send him. The safest
college for such a boy is the agricul
tural college, because lie will there
associate laiuclv with tanners' sons,
and bo in lentact with fan l subjects.
Should ho return to the farm he will
lio have departed so tar from the
farmers' liiii- of work as he would
had he been sent to a different kind
of i oll ge."
There conies from the Oregon
Agricultural College some important
Information which should interest
not only the boys of this county, but
their fat hers and mothers. Here is
the ileni in question:
"At the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege last year there were :'"a stu
dents who turned every icnt of their
expense 1 1 more who worked for
half the money they spirit and ;M3
others who earned some pur of the
money for their college oouis..
"For the boy who wishes to go In
to the business world, there arr in ;h
two mid four r courses in the
school of commerce; for the bo who
would like to become a blacksmith
er a tarpeuter there are special
couiscs in forte work and inrpentrv
in the s' hool of eutltuei'.ng; for the
bo who has an aptitude for e!c. iric
ity. survevint, minim; or load build
ing tbeie ivv '. special -nu rceriu'
VtMirseS.
"Farmers' sols and those from the
fruit and tattle lands, however, are
offered a wide ihohe of agricultural
branches of training, In which they
tan prepare themselves either for
special work in soniie one line, or for
general fanning, either under the
conditions of the moist western part
of the state or those of the dry-farming
regions of the east."
SOME OFFICIAL FIGURES.
The following statement and fig
ures have been furnished D' the city
treasurer at the request of the Cour
ier, as reports quite confusing to the
taxpayers were on the street. It will
be seen that Mr. Jester makes the
matter plain, so that even "be who
runs may read."
"Editor Courier: It has been re
ported that the, late issue of $ s 0,
(hjU refunding bonds sold will still
leave the city on a w arrant basis and
something like $15,000 behind.
The following figures should clear
up any such Idea any one may have
regarding this matter.
"The outstanding warrants on the
first of September were $TO,6S7.6:'.
Of these there had been called, but
not presented for payment, $1,
.19X.76, which would leave the actu
al amount drawing Interest J69,
OSS.Sti. Interest on this amount at
the date of call was $4, "'79.22, or a
total of $73,068.08. To retire this
we have the following: $80,000,
premium $595.50, Interest on bonds
April 1st to Sept. 5th $1,711.11, to
tal $S 2,306.61, cash on hand In
hands of treasurer September 5th
over all warrants previously called
4,631.25, or a grand total of rash
$S6,937.Sfi. In addition to the above
there Is still due from the county
treasurer $7,000 in round numbers.

The S icker citeli residents are in
terested in a movement in road
building, whi. h. when completed
will shorten the distance which ir is
necessary to travel to reach tlr.ints
i'ass by from twelve to fifteen miles.
The proposed plan is to bridge the
Appb gate below Xew Hope and im
prove the county road up Chaney
creek, crossing me .vioouey iiiuuiujiu
divide into Deer creek. The road
vill then follow down Deer creek to
near Drydeii. when it will continue
up the Thompson creek blanch of
Der treek and through Little Giay
bai k pass to the Sucker creek settle
ments, ''airly good roads are al
ready constructed through most of
the territory, only eight miles of new
road being necessary to connect the
two ends. A trail now runs through
that portion.
The building of the road on this
dan would make it unnecessary for
the Sucker creek travel to come
around by Kerby and Selma, reduc
ing the distance by many miles, with
no very serious grades to go over. It
would make more accessible some
rich agricultural districts in the ter
ritory traversed.
The farmers of the upper Sucker
creek are enthusiastic in support of
the proposed Improvement, and ex
pect toon to present petitions bear
ing on the subject to the county
court.
Another Improvement that Is be
ing agitated Is the opening of a road
to make a short cut from the Ttosne
valley to the Applegate, this project
being advanced by the Savage creek
residents.
The two valleys are only a mat
ter of seven miles apart, with a wag
on road already built up Savage
creek to near its head, and three
miles of trail connecting the Savage
creek road with the Miller creek road
from the other side. By completing
the road through this gap, travel be
tween the two valleys will be greatly
facilitated.
County Judge. Jewell, accompan
ied by Commissioner Barlow, has re
cently visited the Deer creek (Oiintry
while out investigating road matters.
1 11 (I the county court has approved a
change in that district that will be a
great improvement.
The old road survey followed
around on the section line at the Geo.
Christie property, but Mr. Christie
agreed to give a right-of-way diag
onally across his farm, following the
base of the hill instead of going over
it as the old survey did. In return
for the right-of-way the county is to
fence the road on one side. The
grading of the highway has already
