County Books to be Expertcd.
According to the Medford Tribune,
the County Court has contracted with
Joseph Wilson, an expert accountant,
to check up the county books, for ten
years hack, the work to be done for a
lump sum a f $1300.
Mr. Wilson agrees to go over the
books for the past ten years and audit
every bill and check up the warrants
to see that they have not been raised.
He will take the books o f one official
for a period o f two years and then
cheek up the other books for the same
period.
The business of the county has in
creased greatly in the past five years
and Mr. Wilson will earn his money.
He believes that he will complete the
work in about one year, but it is very
doubtful whether he can finish the
work in two years. He must go over
every warrant and every bill, aud the
sheriff's office handles the taxes on
nearly $30,000,000, besides other mon
eys recieved and handled through this
and other offices.
Council Meeting.
Eastern Oregon will be uppermost in

at the
Portland Commercial Club. The new

o f that great wheat country will be
given all business men in attendance
upon the noon luncheon.
1908 will go down in history as the
greatest year Oregon ever enioyed, and
the numerous New Year and Holiday
editions o f the newspapers o f the state
will carry the story of this progress to
thousands o f eastern people.
During the bliszards reporter from
various sections o f the country the
hospitable climate of Oregon is especial

PAPER FROM THE COTTON PLANT
Paper manufacturers and users will
be Interested In a successful process
which Is said to have been discovered
for making paper from cotton stalks,
cottonseed hulls aud other portions of
the cotton plant. 8tress has been laid
of late upon the enormous loss which
has beeu sustained annually through
the plowing under or burning of some
1,500.000 tons of cotton stalks, In view
of which the new process will be wel
comed by those who favor a conserva
tion of our forest resources as well as
those who are merely Interested In
buying cheaper paper.
A company
which proposes to manufacture paper
from the new material has beeu Incor
porated at Atlanta, Ga., under the title
of the Southern Cotton 8talk Pulp and
Papor company. It Is claimed by the
new company that paper can be manu
factured from cotton stalks much more
cheaply than la possible In the wood
pulp mills o f the country, -while It has
been estimated that If all of the cotton
stalks produced In the country were
utilized In the manufacture of paper It
would keep 1,800 mills running night
and day through the year, each turning
out twenty-five tons of paper a day.
From the standpoint of protecting our
forest Interests as well as the econom
ical disposal of what up to the present
has been a useless byproduct It Is to
he hoped that the new enterprise win
be a success.
OVERREACHED AND LOST.
The holding of farm produce for a
higher price when an already high
prloe la obtainable partakes often of
the nature of a speculation and Is
likely to result In serious lose. This
point finds Illustration In the case of a
bunch of north Iowa farmers who two
years ago held their wool for a higher
price when they could'have realised
23 cents a pound for IL I d their opin
ion this was not enough. The next
season the price of wool dropped to Id
cents. They still held their wool In
the hope that the high price of the
preceding season would prevail, but It
did not. This year, after having bad
their money tied up In their d ip two
years, they brought It to town and
sold It.for 8 cents a pound. Once In
a dozen times perhaps a fellow can
win out on a speculation of the above
type, but the other eleven be will be a
loser. I f in any given season -the price
of a product Is lees than the average
for a jterlod pf ten years. It will be
fairly safe to hold on to It provided
the product Isn’ t o f'a particularly per
ishable nature. On the other band. If
the price Is higher than this, average
good Judgment would dictate the wis
dom of selling.
Miss Ethel Boyd, a society belle of
Now York, the charming and accom
plished daughter of Mrs. Frank Ray,
who is spending -the winter with Col

thrilling adventure with huge congar
or mountain lion, as the ferocious beast
is more commonly known, one day last
week, in which she put the animal tb
ignominious flight, although unarmed.
She was walking in the forest and
brush covered hills between the dam
and Sams Valley, when a tawny col
ored beast leaped from a thicket sur
rounding a cluster of trees and stood in
the path 20 or 30 yards in front o f the
young woman. The great cat, about
three or four fe et in length, stood look
