Dale Eldon Cummlngs, eldest
child 6f James and Pearl Cum
mlngs, was born near Lebanon,
Neb., Aug. 11, 1907, and died at
tho homo of the family near
Camp Creek, Dec. 11, 1915, ot
tuberculosis of the bones, after
an Illness of about a week. The
funeral was conducted at the
home, at 10 A. M. today, by Rev,
J. T. Moore, Interment at Laurel
Grove cemetery this, afternoon.
His parents moved to Spring
field, Oregon, in October 1914,
where they resided until March
tliis year, when they moved to
McKenzio Butte Farm near
Camp Creek. They have made
many friends during their short
residence In Oregon who deeply
sympathize with them.
It is estimated Oregon will
spend $4,000,000 on roadB in
1916.

in this way than it does in its
essential purpose of finding a
market for tho surplus produce."
Tho farmers merely make ar
rangements with the market
master as to what day he can
accept the hogs, or whatever it
may be, and tho market master
attends to the collecting, ship
ping, selling and everything else,
for which tho fanner pays 10
cents per hundred pounds!. The
money received from this source
goes to the public market fund.
According to Mr. Hurd, the
farmers had not contemplated
this means of disposing of their
produco and for this reason, did
not raise as much as they would
otherwise have done, so that the'
stalls are occupied principally
by farmers selling meatsl Yes
terday morning ten of the stalls

In the office of Mr. Hurd the
farmers will find a library which
contains work on agriculture,
dairying, cattle raising and
every kind of farm industry as
well as statistics for reference.
