8208 WORTH OF FOOD-STUF
LEAVES HflRROia
Local People Donate More Than Car Load of Flour
And Other Staples to War Stricken Nation Aid
Will Continue Indefinitely.
Food-stuffs amounting in value to
about 51200 have been received by
the loca! committee of the Pelgian
Relief Fund. Flour is the main- sta
ple which is being sent in to Port
land for shipment to Belgium. The
campaign for the starving Belgians
lias only begun a".d this is well, as it
is estimated that it will require even
greater efforts on the part cf this
country. England has recently plac
ed in Portland $500,000 to be spent
for food for the Belgians. This was
done in order that England's rapid
ly growing army will not suffer for
want, of food.
Members of the committee from
the Heppner Commercial Club have
been doing a good work and should
re.'.i.'a the highest praise. Sam
Hughes is chairman and he has been

Blind Man Seeks Degree at State V.
University of Oregon, Eugene, Jan
11. Thomas D. Cutsforth, of Riddle
Or., is blind, and for ten . years has
been totally so, but he is a student
at the University of Oregon, "never
theless. "Blind boys and girls have
to compete with people who see, so
why not educate them along with
people who see," he says. . jt
Cutsforth is 21 years old, and is a
freshman. His right eye was blind
ed by a table fork when he was nine
years old, and the left eye gradually
went blind through sympathetic in
flamation. He was put into the
school for blind at Salem and there
learned the Braille system for blind
and did school work as far as the
equivalent of one year in high school.
Then he entered Riddle high school
and in his senior year was president
of his class and president of the
student body. He did three years of
high school work at Riddle in two
years.
"The blind boy listens more at
tentively than his normal brother
and all he needs is a little guiding to
;st him in and out of the school
.ooni," says this handicapped stud
nt, whoe great hope is ultimately
o sea blind and normal pupils edu
ated side by side in public and high
:chools.

Portland, Ore., Jan. 12. (Special)
A conference of far-reaching import
ance to the Livestock industry of the
Pacific Northwest was held at the
Portland Union Stockyards a few
iays ago. As a result of this confer
ence, arrangements have been made
whereby it will be possible to send
out 1,000 or more brood sows to the
boys and girls of Oregon, these ani
mals being treated for, and guaran
teed against cholera. The sows are
not to be given away, but are to bo
sold at prices ranging from $18 to
$25 each, and in payment the Stock
yards people will accept a note run
ning from 8 to 19 months at 6 per
cent interest, the note to be indorsed
by the father or guardian of the boy
or girl and approved by the county
school superintendent.
The familv of infant porkers will
appear in four or five weeks after
shipment of the sow, and the boy or
girl will have plenty of time before
heir note matures to bring the pigs
to a marketable age and dispose of
hem to the best advantage, paying
off the note with the proceed of the
sale. -In the work done by the nog
clubs of the Northwent last year, an
eleven year old girl at Washougal,
Wash, made a clear profit of $79 on
ins brood sow. In this instance two
litters, 24 pigs In all, were produced.
Local educators have expressed tue
ninion that this is the most im
portant step ever taken in tills line of
work, and, as far as known, the first
movement of the kind ever started in
'.he United States.
According to plans and estimates
just completed by the F'ederal author
ities, the proposed development in
he Uuner Deschutes basin will in
volve an expenditure of approximate
ly $11,583,000,' involving an irriga
ble area of more than 200,000 acres.
If the work is finally carried out as
iow planned, all the surplus water
of the Deschutes River above Bend
will be used for irrigation.
Potato growers of Oregon are ask
nc that a strict ouarantlne be es

state hoard of horticulture has been
asked to take such action as will in

Venezuelans Pay High Price for Ore
gon Apples and Salmon.
University of Oregon, Eugene, Jan.
11. A can of good salmon retails in
Caracas at 45 cents, and fresh Ore
gon apples bring 10 to 15 cents each,
and any reduction in the cost of these
eatables to the consumer would im
mensely increase the consumption,
says a letter from the United States
minister In Venezuela. The letter
has just been received by H. 13. Mil
ler, director of the University of
Oregon school of commerce, which
is conducting a worldwide survey for
markets to which Oregon products
may be sent.
"Lumber, print paper, flour, bis
cuit, lard, and smoked meats, from
the Pacific coast are likely to find a
good market here," continues the
letter. "Preserves, canned fruits,
vinegar, and pickles, dried prunes,
condensed milk, butter, cheese, tal
low and hops, could also be market
ed here to an advantage. Prunes
are imported here now in glass jars
or screw top tins, and butter in one,
two and five pound tins."
Venezuelan merchants, tills letter
adds, are eager to get direct Pacific
Coast connection for trade in coffee
and cocoa. Director Miller hopes to
see a lively business in canned fruits
worked up With several South Amer
ican countries.
