Chamberlin, associate professor of entomology at Oregon State college. Ticks are not only of considerable importance in the state, but have aroused widespread interest and concern because of the outbreaks of Rocky mountain spotted fever in the eastern part of the state, which is carried by one species of tick. The bulletin discusses the prevalence of this infection and how to minimize the danger from it. There are close to a score of dif ferent ticks in the state, only one of which carries the spotted fever in fection. This tick occurs in all east ern Oregon counties except possibly Hood River and Wallowa, and has been found at least once in a half dozen western Oregon districts. The new bulletin lists all of the species of ticks found so far in this state and their known hosts. Range Station Work Plans to be Viewed Those who visit the new 16,000 acre Squaw Butte range experiment station on the coming field day, Sept. 15, will find that land which even two years ago looked as though it was utterly devoid of grass is already "coming back" from a range standpoint and providing consider able feed. Some stockmen who examined he territory when the range sta tion was first proposed expressed doubt that there would be enough of the grass come back to provide suitable research opportunity, but this fear seems to be unfounded, say those who have been watching the development so far. Arrangements have been made to explain to visitors on the field day the plan for rotation and deferred grazing of both cattle and sheep and the many other types of range re search which are to be carried out by the Oregon experiment station and the., division of grazing of the department of the interior. The sta tion is located about 50 miles west of Burns.

He also "made" the Rodeo as a mem ber of Elmer Steele's dance band.. Oregon Traffic Deaths A series of weekly articles on the problem of Highway Safety by Earl Snell, Secretary of State. Close observation of the traffic situation in Oregon has convinced me of the need for material changes in our law as to the regulating of speed upon the highways. Enforce ment officers have found the basic rule now on the books ineffective in curbing high speed and ask for a re turn to a definite per mile speed limit. I do not believe that the basic rule should be eliminated entirely, but suggest that its good features be retained and that a provision limit ing top speed be added to it. The principle of the basic rule can be effectively applied when even com paratively slow driving comes under the head of recklessness, which may be caused by conditions involving icy pavement, fog, or a number of other natural causes. Another effective curb in cases of reckless driving would be the plac ing of a governor sealed by the state police, upon the car of the offender. My own experiments with a govern or controlled car have convinced me that it accomplishes its purpose in a most satisfactory manner, and would be a definite cure for the reckless driver who refuses to keep his speed within safe limits. Further, there is a chance for good, common sense regulation thru a system of zoning of highways by engineers of the highway depart ment. Long, straight roads, with few intersections and light travel, may be safely traveled at a greater speed than can be applied in sections where conditions are less favorable. This is recognized in basic limits within cities, and can be applied to the open highway just as effectively. However, improved conditions on our highways cannot, wait upon changes in the law. Common 'sense driving and strict compliance with present traffic requirements will do much to reduce Oregon's traffic deaths. Resolutions of Condolence In memory of Brother James A. Miller, who died on July 28, 1937. Again that unwelcome yet relent less visitor, Death, has entered the portals of our lodge room and sum moned a Brother to the home be yond.
