It will carry between four and five hundred thousand head of sheep. Donald H. Stevenson, of the U. S. Bureau Biolopical Survey, states that "Forage on I'nalaska island renewt iteeif so rapidly that there is no com parison between the forape land there and the western ranges." According to Captain Mellick of the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries, the annual precipitation on the grazing area is about thirty Inches, which a quite evenly distributed.

The island Ues seventeen hundred miles westerly from the mouth of the Columbia river, in the same latitude as middle England, and is tempered by the Japan current. It is not cold. The company will continue to ship as conditions permit until its foun dation flock of ten thousand ewes are placed. Mosaic and Streak Bad Among Oregon Brambles Mosaic and streak are two virui diseases of brambles wide spread in Oregon, most commonly found In lo ganberry plants. Forms of mosaic are found on black and red raspber ries as well as blackberries, and streak has been found in black cap plantings. In the eastern and middle western parts of the United States these dis eases are destined to wipe out the cane fruit industry, according to one of the most prominent horticulturists of the country, unless rapid strides are made xn their control. In Oregon mosaic is the more prev alent.

CHAPTER F Bound To Thb Enemy A beautiful girl stood on a hillock and cast her eyes over the swarm of workmen who were laboring to finish the construction job at Lost River Dam according to schedule. In her hand eh hM a toi.emtn ana a trouciea look passed over her lovely features as she read and re read the contents. "Cannot meet monthly payroll. Come at once. Important directors' meeting," it said. The message was signed, "Weatherby." Ruth PnnvAf th laet f a line, was President of Ranger, Inc a engineering nrrn tnat tor tnree quarters of a century had been so famed for honest work and business integrity that the word of a Ranger was regarded as safe as a Govern ment bond. The girl was also the owner of Haunted Valley a place of ungodly Tights and eerie shades; of lurking terror and mysterious disappear ances. Although it afforded the shortest course across the desert, neither rancher nor traveler would venture a second time into its dreaded precincts. While Ruth was attempting to figure out how she could meet her obligations, Harry Mallinson, a sup posed friend of the girl who seemed to know the real value of Haunted Valley, was taking extraordinary precautions to guard the secret until be could obtain the property. Mallinson and his agents had built unusual headquarters underground and in the side of a cliff, which overlooked the dreary domain. Mal linson called this spot his control room, and well he might, for it con tained various mechanisms that con trolled the valley and sent death wherever the man desired it Dirks, his chief assistant, bad completed the invention of an odd device a chart, marked off into squares and numbered, indicating the position of anyone entering the valley, and each number correspond ing with a section. Every section had its own particular terror for the intruder. After a few words to Dirks, Mallinson gleefully departed. Ruth Ranger finally came to the decision that she had best return to the city and consult with ber vice president, Weatherby. She traveled a short distance in her smart road ster when she saw a truck ahead of her with a broken wheel, com pletely blocking the road. "The only other way to town, Miss," one of the drivers Informed her, "is through that durned valley, and 1 wouldn't advise you to go through that place." The girl smiled confidently, and not heeding the words of warning, started through the short-cut through the valley. She had covered about half the distance when a ter rific explosion behind her sHbok the tarth and caused her car to skid peril ously. Then another and another. Dirks, in the control room was car rying out his instructions. Ruth put on full speed. She could not understand the source of these strange upheavals of dirt and gravel. The girl had just reached the exit from the valley when a final terrific explosion seemed to fairly lift her in the air. She remembered no more until she felt herself in a pair of strong arms. "Whyhow long have I been here?" Ruth asked. Eugene Craig was the name of the young man who had rushed to the girl's assistance. He smiled at her and assured her only a few moments. "11 must get to the city at once," the girl said, picking herself up and brushing the dirt from her smart sport suit "111 take you," the mysterious young man volunteered, il only came out to look at the valley." An hour later in the city Ruth lrarned the worst. Weatherbv in formed her that unless a million dollars were secured Immediately, Ranger, Incorporated, would go to the wall. After a moment of thought, the girl came to a decision. She was not beaten yet. With a firm look on her face, she walked from the office, took a few steps down the hall and entered the office of Henry Mallinson where she was warmly greeted by that gentleman. Ruth ascidsd to waits Be urns "Henry," she said, "I am facing a business, crisis and 1 must have one minion dollars at once. Mallinson smiled. " I'd do any thing in the world for vou R nth hut under the circumstances I cannot wan money to your company. To you "I have no security." the eirl in. terrupted. "Everything I own is turnea over to tne company." "Any nominal security would do tor instance Haunted Valley." "Why!" the eirl exclaimed. "It'. almost worthless, but I must have the money and and if you are willing In fifteen minutes the pacers were drawn up They so stiouiated thai if Ruth failed to reoav the horrnueH sum to Henry Mallinson ninety days iiuiii me aate 01 signature, all right and title tu Haunted Valley would revert to him. "Ruth," Mallinson said, after the papers were turned over, "I love you. Marry me and let me relieve you of all your troubles. Should you fail, I'll take care of Ranger, Incorporated." "But, Henry, 1 won't fail," smiled the girl, drawing back. "But if you if.) fail, will you marry me at the end of three months and let me help you and the com pany you are so proud of?" Ruth was quite confident of her success. "Since you put it that wav, 1 agree," she answered. "1 will marry you at the end of the three months." Ruth Ranger was extremely pleased with the ease in which she had 'accomplished her mission. The work on Lost River Dam could now go on, and surely, there were enough projects looming up to pay the money back without the slight est difficulty. Mallinson smiled craftily as his two agents, Dirks and Sharkey, entered his office. He quickly ex plained to them what he had accom plished and then went over a list of Ranger projects and informed them that work on each one would have to be slackened to bring success to his plans. "Before we go further," Dirks interrupted, "I want a written agr la ment as to my share of Haunted Valley." "Look here, Dirks!" Mallinson angrily replied, "you shall be paid well for your inventions. And Sharkey, you will be paid for your special work. But I have engineered this thing and let there be no talk of sharing the rewards with either of you." A flare of anger passed over Dirks' face. "Why why you " he shouted, reaching for a sharp paper knife. Mallinson was too quick for him. A blow in the face floored Dirks. "Now get out of here until you can behave," Mallinson warned. At Ruth's home that night a fipure skulked about the premises. A win dow, leading to the living room was opened and a note thrown in on the table. When Ruth entered tie room a short time later, her eyes fell on the note. She picked it up and read: "Ruth Ranger: "Whatever dangers you have to face, solve the mystery of Haunted Valley. It holds untold wealth. "An Interested Friend." The girl could not understand the meaning of the mysterious warning She was about to phone Mallinson when there was a ring at the door. Oh, yes! She had forgotten that she had invited her attractive youni; rescuer, Craig, to call that evening. She had just finished her greeting when there was another ring at the doorbell. The gir! excused herself and walked toward the door. Open ing It, she started back as she saw the maddened features of Dirks staring at her. "Are you Ruth Ranger?" he asked excitedly. "Why, yes," answered the sur prised girl. "I'll tell you the secret ol Haunted Valley," Dirks gasped "Keep it don't full to keep It, for" At that moment the girl wa startled to see a figure rise up from behind a hedge. A pistol tracked and Dirks Ml at her feel ! (To it eontlnuid.) STAR THEATER, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5th of the plants were infected and it kills out plants in from two to four years.

Financing any business to success, whether it be mercan tile, industrial or agricultural, is a job which requires courage. But most important of all is to have an established credit and a friendly business relationship with bankers of proven ability; men of vision who know their own success can be only in pro portion to youri. No matter what your work may be you are striving for success. Start today to establish your credit. This bank can assist you.
