On Ga licia’s fields during the past few months i Lave been done such feats at arms as the modern world could not have dreamed of; the strength of great Russia swept over this Austrian crownland, driving Its powerful ar mies over the plain In the North, over the central hills, up the southern slopes of the ragged Carpathians, on their lofty, icy crests, beyond these crests, and hovered over the fertile prairie land of Hungary. Here the wave spent its to then ir- resistible force, and upon the dreary mountain rocks, above the clouds, amid the ice and snow and chill cold of early spring, the flower of Russian and Austro-German strength began rolling backward toward the north, still locked in continuous, grinding battle, until the foothills were left be hind and the terrific contest surged in the direction of Lemberg and the northern plain. The nature of this war theater that has beheld among earth’s sternest, most bitter scenes is intimately described by William Jo seph Showalter in a statement pre pared for the National Geographic so ciety. This writer says: HUERTA CHECKED BY FEDERAL AUTHORITIES Rabbits Rush Harvest. Baker—A sudden invasion of rabbits in the grain fields of Pleasant Valley, a rich agricultural district near Baker, is making the success of the season’s crop extremely doubtful. The animals are of the “blacktail” variety, and with grain ready to head, have de scended on the fields and are doing the mowing themselves in a most thorough fashion. Almost simultaneously with the at tack of the rabbit army has come a plague of grasshoppers, and with the two together threatening, ranchers are bending every effort to hasten the har vest. Biggs Corn Ripe Early. The Dalles—What is regarded as the earliest corn crop of the season in this district is reported by Harold Fish, who has a farm near Biggs. C. L. Smith, agriculturist for the O.-W. R. & N. company, arrived in town recently with several specimens of the Fish corn crop. It is of the Yellow Flint variety, with small ears, but an abundance of ears to the etalk. It will yield about 28 bushels to the acre, says Mr. Smith. Mr. Fish planted the corn on April 14 and har vested it on August 1. This, says Mr. Smith, is one of the earliest cases of maturity on record. kt g aha.

He was 82 years old. He is sur vived by two sons, Garritt and An drew, who own one of the finest Here ford ranches in the valley, and a widow and two daughters, Mrs. Case and Mrs. William Webster, of Alice!.

Hood River — While it is still too early to make definite estimates and while the opinions of various experts differ slightly, market men and grow ers agree that the Hood River apple crop will be far smaller than that of last year, when approximately 900,000 boxes of fruit were shipped. This sea son’s crop is estimated at from 60 to 70 per cent of that of last year. On account of the small crop here and the light yield over the entire nation, it is predicted that growers will get profit able returns on the year’s business. Home Falls on Tenants. La Grande—Collapsing with a deaf ening crash, their residence carried Mrs. J. M. McShain down with the de bris into a newly excavated basement, in which Mr. McShain was digging, burying both in the wreckage. They escaped serious injuries. Mr. McShain has been devoting his spare time to digging the cellar. It was while thus engaged at noon that the props gave way, precipitating the home into the hole. Texas Man After Angora Goats. Monmouth—R. E. Taylor, of Sonora, Tex., is inspecting the goats on the big farms of Polk county and expects to buy two carloads and take them to Texas. Mr. Taylor purchased two car- loads of Angora breeding stock last year. live stock where it belongs. The same methods of agriculture that we used in the United States before the days of the self-binder and the grain drill are still in force in that region. “It is in Lemberg that the only Polish-dominated legislative assembly in existence holds its sessions, for Lemberg is the capital of Galicia, and the Poles, both because of their shrewd political ability and their nu merical weight, control the Galician legislature In the face of their rivals, the Ruthenians of East Galicia. The city of Lemberg is largely modern—a compact nucleus surrounded by scat tering suburbs. “While Galicia is almost wholly an agricultural region, and while a large percentage of that agriculture is car ried on in the old-time way, there are some few manufacturing neighbor hoods and Industrial districts. Dis tilleries occupy first place among tho industries, and there are many beet- sugar and tobacco factories. Petro leum springs abound along the Car pathians, and some of the towns in this region grow from small villages to modern Beaumonts between New Year and Christmas. “Galicia has many of the world’s most famous salt mines.

I.: 1 in Unbroken Chain. So subtle and so persuasive Is the law of association, that It Is influen tial, even when we are hardly con scious of Its existence. The chance word from the lips of a friend, fall ing upon tinder; the vision of some grave or wise one, held up to the glance of fancy so often that It has become the Ideal model of the heart’s aspiring; the music of some old word greeting the ear with a strange mel ody, have fixed the tone of a spirit and have fashioned the direction of a life. The world Is Just one unbroken chain of these actions and reactions. We are bound by them, we are en compassed by them; and we can no more escape from them than we can fling ourselves beyond the Influence of the law of gravitation, or refuse to be trammeled by the all-embracing air. A C0A2R turn back upon it the cold winds of the north. Thus these mountains give Galicia long, cold winters; short, wet springs; hot, blistering summers, and dreary, chilly autumns. “The glory of Poland's past and the hope of her future are Cracow and Lemberg, for it was the former that was her capital in the yesterday of history and the latter that Is her capital today and which would be her capital tomorrow were Polish dreams to come true. In Cracow, the great city of Poland's past, the royal palace still stands; but it is used as a bar racks and not as the home of a king. The cathedral is now the Valhalla of its departed greatness; for there sleep the kings and the heroes from the Jagellons to Kosciuszko.

In many parts of the country the peas ant lives in a log hut covered with straw; he breakfasts, dines, and makes his supper of porridge, wash ing it down with bad brandy; and in general lives a life full of want and empty of pleasure.
