WARTIME NECESSITIES.
If we are to find any profit In
Britain's experience in being precip
Hated into a war for which it was not
prepared, the subject must be stud
led at close range' and with a fine
consideration for minor details. The
world has watched England struggle
clumsily toward the goal of helpful
co-operation with her trench allies
In the western front. After two years
Britain has succeeded In recruiting.
arming and equipping an army of 2,
000,000 men. Military critics have
contended that had England kept
these 2,000,000 citizens in some sort
of organized shape for war, the pres
ent war could not have occurred. But
be that as it may, the fact remains
that Britain would have known In
advance what was needed for the
conduct of war and would have pro
Tided such necessities as rapd-lire
guns and field glasses.
Through the aid of American man
ufacturers, Britain has succeeded in
getting plenty of ordnance. It may
not be superior ordnance, but it will
serve in a pinch. The machine guns
America manufactures are notori
ous for fractious capers. French and
German machine guns alone are-de
pendable. When American ordnance
experts manufacture rapid-fire gun;
they fail to give satisfaction even in
our own military service. As for
field glasses, dependence upon Eu'
rope is even stronger. Binoculars
that are not made in France or Ger
many are nothing better than make
fehifts.
Just now England is hunting high
and low for field glasses. The mili
tary authorities have exhausted then
resources and now patriotic civilian
are organizing to meet the situation
as best they may. Englishmen who
will not donate opera glasses and
field glasses are offered fancy prices
for them. A fund of $125,000 has
been raised for the purchase of sec
ond-hand glasses from mercenary
civilians. It is the prismatic glasses
that are in demand, and those made
In Germany are preferred. Before
the war broke a full supply for the
army might have been secured from
Berlin, but now Berlin will not sell.
Without binoculars the English
troops are sadly handicapped. In
these days of fighting from shelter
and concealment, strong binoculars
are as valuable as strong guns. They
are indispensable to the artillery and
cavalry as well as to the aerial ob
servers. In this oennection it might be in
teresting to note that American Ar
my supplies do not include a suffi
cient number of binoculars to equip
what troops we have. It would be
interesting, if not distressing, to
know just how far short we fall of
being able to equip an Army of half
a million men properly. Oregonian.

Ao Error Corrected.
Three weeks ago, In reporting on
canes in the circuit court this paper
was in error in stating that in the
case of S. P. Garrigues vs. C. A. Mil
ler, C. D. Huston and Stacy Roberts,
Mr. Garrigues received Judgment.
Only In the first two instances was
plaintiff given Judgment and Mr.
Roberts' demurrer was overruled and
he was given Uenty days in which
to answer.
The stockholders of Jordan Ware
house & Storage Co. are promoting
the construction of a wheat elevator
on their property at Jordan Siding.
A meeting was held at Liberty school-
house. Eight Mile, Tuesday afternoon
to discuss the proposition, and at this
time plans and estimates were gone
over with W. H. Cronk of Tum-a-
Lum Lumber Co. The construction
of the elevator appears to be almost
a matter of necessity, owing to the
prohibitive price of grain bags, and
besides, it is far the better way to
handle grain.
Gus Wilcox and Alex Lindsay,
ranchers at the junction of Rhea and
Willow creeks, have been busy as
beavers for some time past, cleaning
off the rubbish and working down
the sediment that was left over their
places by the winter floods. Mr.
Wilcox reports that he has his work
about done, and figures that his dam
age has been only nominal; in fact,
the abundance of new soil deposited
over the alfalfa fields will prove ben
eficial. Mr. Lindsay has much work
In store yet to put his fields back to
their former excellent condition.
A good sale of lambs was closed by
Jack Hynd of Cecil during the past
week. He disposed of about 2000
head at $7.75. The sheep had win
tered fine and were In prime condi
tion In both flesh and wool and com
manded the best price going. Mr
Hynd spared neither labor nor feed
to bring his sheep through the winter
in good shape, and the price he now
receives for this bunch of lambs is
proof that he has followed the pro
per course.
A large audience greeted the pu
pils of lone High School at the per
formance of the operetta, "Wind
mills of Holland" at Walker's hall on
Saturday evening. The young peo
ple had been well drilled in their
parts, and the quaint costuming and
dancing fitted in with the splendid
music in a manner to please. There
is much fine musical talent in this
town and Prof. Davis is bringing It
to the front.
James M. Kyle, republican candi
date for Public Service Commissioner
from Eastern Oregon, with his home
at Stanfield, was a business visitor

dentally he was pushing his candi
dacy for Commissioner.

with other sons residing in the State

shop from R. L. Sabin, assignee, and
the same was removed to his place
of business. This stock had been re
ported sold to Chas. Curtis, a practi
cal harness man of Harrisburg, Ore
gon, but for some reason Mr. Curtis
did not show up and disposition of

tion with the farm he owns near
lone, departed this morning for To
