tion remarkable even for Paige Cars, which year after
year establish records for instantaneous popularity.
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.

MEXICANS MAY BECOME
BIG PRUNE EATERS
Cecil Items.
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.

National Forest Range to Support In
creased Numbers of Stock.
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.

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.
