Their daily regime was undVr the regulation prescribed for Camp Fire ghis on such occasions, It in cluded two baths daily in the waters of the McKenzle, which would test the soldierly qualities of most of the old reasoned camp fire boys. The Baptist church of Springfield has given a definite call to the pns 1 torate for the full year to Rev. B. C. Miller,' who has been supplying tie j pulpit for some time. Mr. Miller was compelled, on account of 111 health, to retire from pastoral work several years ngo. lie made bis borne at Albany for about three years.

A FINE GARDEN FARM ' ' IN THE BUILDING William Clark, who has beetn In the employ of tbe Booth-Kelly Lum6er company for a number of years as a millwright, concluded to lay tie foundations of a home to be supported by the soil. A iear ago last January, he bought thfrtv arret nt i.. 'uu & 1 tUl the farm owned by John 8mltn. It ooraers on tne McKenzle river half a mile or so below tbe Hayden bridge. A hasty trip out to the farm In Mr Clark's car and a rapid tramp over e ground. last Thursday evening, lert these few points sticking in the minds of the observers: Most of the ground had been plowed beforv. Mr. Clark bought It. but had not bti km...iM ..... cultivation. He has built a moderate ua nouae, wnicft be expects to more a short distance soon, to a loca tion somewlat higher, and which be . considere better it. j . ,iuq tmrca OUI n additional land near the house. z acres or more in culti vation, tbe balance being nearly all in timber, of many varieties,, mostly n goftd-siaed trees. This is next to the river. While the tract still shows the marks of a farm I. m . ...u ii .7 " irucess or building. Mr. Clark is laying the rounnatlon of one of the finest all products farms In Ola laying it out on a plan which will re quire several veara tn . . . run. These am mnm .u- . r iub larger features, as shown this season. He naa four acrea nt t . . - ""t,.im spring Tnili1 . X acres beets: "00 small ....i hwb, planted 20 by 24 fe-t opart; the ground betwn h... cultivated in a great variety of rg. You will find on this young garden rarra about errvthino- table lirfe that is commonly grown in thIscountry. and many kinds that are not common: In fart everything of the vegetable kind that .rnciaui or valuable in this country or that can be brought to per fection here. Mr. Clark has a row of ir.ing- lODaccp plants in the middle of his field; in another place a row or two or peanuts; and off to one sldei a trench planted with celery and so on. It takes some time, in this country to subdue the weeds in a tract taken In the rough as this was; and this makes the cultivation "vic U 11 lieu 11 !ln the first few years. As an example .r. mra remarked, as we were pass ing along by the side of his six-acre field of beets, that he had Just finished clearing it out at an expense of about $250. But he expects that field of beets to be his - - aswuav yiu ducer this season. Take a look at that farm two or three years from now, after Mr. Clark has had time to put his buildings and the grounds about them in the shape that he expects, and the whole tract brought to the state of cultivation that his plans provide for, and yon will see a fine speciman of what Ore gon garden farming may be.
