This new Paige Linwood is already recognized as the most easily sold and the most eagerly bought five'passenger moderate price motor car on the market. That has been its reception and achievement in three months. You will find the explanation for this when you see the Linwood in the beauty of line and design, in the spa' cious roominess, in the elegance and comfort of every feature that go to make up luxurious motoring: You will find the explanation for this in the power and responsiveness of the motor, in the ease of control, in the ease and security and pleasure of driving the Linwood. , The five 'passenger Linwood is a blood'brother of the Big Paiges, designed by the same engineers, built of the same high'grade materials and same painstaking workmanship. $1495 f. o. b.

Former Heppner Man Would Supply This Delectable Food Would Also Make Use of Cellu lold Collars. That Mexico may become a prune eating nation as a result ot a task undertaken by a former Heppner newspaper publisher, John W. Redd ington, is evidence by the fact that Mr. Reddington Is dickering In Car ranza currency with a Ridgefield, Washington prune grower for 23,000 tons ot the A 1 product, according to a letter recently published by the Vancouver, Columbian. Mr, Reddington has been engaged in newspaper work at the San Diego Exposition, but now that that big attraction has come to a close, the foxy editor is turning to another field of avocation as a means for a livelihood. The letter is as follows: Topolobampo, Mex., Mar. 22, 1917. Mr. Charles B. Durbin, . Vancouver, Wash. ( Dear Sir: ... " I was reading in the Associated Press dispatches of the Ladles' Home Journal about your running a. big prune ranch, and I drop you a line to inquire if you would, consider an off er ot say $13,000 Mexican currency for job lot of 13,000 tons of A 1 prunes ot your own raising, which will of course be a guaranty or their excellent quality. I need them to feed the Mexican Navy, which has not been heard from very much lately, and if it was filled full of prunes it would be up and coming and right up on the bits. If I should enclose a deposit as a guaranty of good. In tentions, you will probably And It enclosed. Otherwise otherwise. I refer you without permission to Maj or Frank E. Hodgkin, the Insurance Magnate of Vancouver, w'ho will pro bably tell you that he never heard of me before, but of coure you will pay no attention to trifling technica lities like that. We should worry. What you want is the Carranza cur rency, nd what our navy wants is prunes to til It up and make it feel its oats. Also if you have any used cellu loid collars and cuffs to give out, I would like to have them to reinforce the armor plate on our Mexican war ships, as it has been badly eaten Into by toredos and hoplice who rode the brakebeams down on Ezra Meeker's prairie schooner from the Puyallup Valley. On this account our line-of- battle ships have had to go back and patrol the water-front of Oudalajara, as their armor Is like selves. They were also Injured by bandits pelting rocks at them, having rubber-tired up in the night whea the ships were not looking. Knowing that asking about this Is equivalent to having it already done, etc., and wishing you the courtesies of the season. Very truly yours, Juan y Carrassa Cuenfugeous. There is every logical reason, says the Columbian, to believe that Juan Carasga Cuenfugeous is no other than John W. Redding, who at one time published a paper at Puyallup Wash.

Approved grazing allowances for the National Forests during the com ing season provide for the pasturing of 8,400,156 sheep, 2,120,145 cattle and horses, and 64,680 swine. These figures, compared with those of last year, represent an approximate in crease of 111,000 cattle and horses and a decrease of about 200,000 sheep. Grazing experts of the For est Service figure that for purposes of range allotment one cow Is equal to five sheep. Consequently the In crease of 111,000 cattle and horses Is held to be equivalent ta net in crease of 355,000 sheep, or of 71,000 cattle, over the total number of stock grazed last year. The decrease In the number of sheep is said to be caused by the ac tion of owners who are disposing of their flocks In order to buy cattle. In most cases the reason Is not because of greater profits In handling cattle but because the rapidly changing conditions on the' ranges, where sheep have been handled In the past makes It increasingly difficult to find feed for this class of stock during the months when deep snow prohibits grazing on the National Forests. It Is stated that the capacity ot the National Forest range is gradual ly being Increased by protection against over-grazing and improved methods of handling the stock. New areas are also being brought into use by the development of watering plaC' es, while the eradication of polson ous plants Is reducing the losses suf fered by the stockmen.

Free admission. One day last week Patrick Mcln tire and Rutus Burrough, employes, ot the Minor ranch, went out in the morning to convey as usual a load of hay to the stock. All went welt until they went to cross Willow creek which had assumed unusual bounds during the night. It was more than an April Fool affair. The colabores did not hestltate to plunge into the sweeping torrent. - Here was where they unconsciously encountered the peril of their lives arid hazarded the risk of loss of the Minor property. However the matters did not ter minate as badly as one might expect. The wagon reach gave away and th load of hay with Pat as bewildered as though a German submarine had gotten in its direful work, was car ried down by the current ot the stream. He soon recovered presence of mind and abandoned his precar ious position by swimming to shore line and laying hold ot the meager crop of sage brush that grew In that vicinity. In the meantime our team sters obviously removed from the de parting debris and hauled out of the stream by means of the lines that the horses held as they scrambled for terra firma. The detached parts ot the wagon were recovered some days afterward, some two miles down the creek being lodged on the Hynd dam. The Federated Church.
