Oregon News Notes
According to the monthly report of
the' weather bureau. January was the
dryest month in the history of south-
t rn Oregcn, leas than half an inch of
rain falling. The average for the
month was 4.29 inches. As the pre­
cipitation has been deficient since the
beginning of the rainy season, farm­
ers and fruit raisers are becoming
worried and an added impetus has
been- applied to the campaign for ir­
rigation.
Approximately a million feet of tim­
ber in the Siuslaw national forest, in
the vicinity of Yachaats and Cape
creek, on the coast, was destroyed by
insects during the past year, accord­
ing to a special report just filed in the
office of the Siuslaw forest. The
investigation was made by one of the
rangers who found that the ravages of
the insects, the nature of which he
was unable to determine, covered a
strip about a quarter of a mile wide
and 50 acres in extent, near the coast.
St. Benedict's Abbey, with headquar­
ters at Mount Angel, has tiled suit in
the United States court in Portland to
test the validity of the law passed at
the recent special session of the state
legislature making it unlawful to print,
publish, circulate, display, or sell or
offer for sale any newspaper or period­
ical In any language other than Eng­
lish unless the same contain a literal
translation in the English language of
the same type and as conspicuously
displayed. The plaintiff corporation
prints, publishes, circulates and sells
a weekly newspaper called "St. Jo­
seph's Blatt,” which has a weekly cir­
culation of approximately 24,700 copies
and is printed in the German language.
The machinery for the first unit of
the Astoria Flouring Mills company’s
new plant at the port terminals at
Astoria has been operated for a few
days as a test, and has been found
to work satisfactorily. It is expected
this unit, which will have a capacity
of 2000 barrels of flour a day, will
begin grinding immediately.
The
second unit of the plant will be ready
for opération in about six weeks. The
new plant will be one of the largest
single mills of its kind in the country.
It will turn out 4000 barrels of high-
grade flour each 24 hours. With the
company’s present mill also in opera­
tion the daily output will be increased
to 5200 barrels, sufficient to pro­
vide a full steamer cargo for export
each month.
The state highway commission, in
session in Portland last week, awarded
a contract for a bridge across Youngs
bay at the price of $308,620.60; refused
to make any promises for paving until
result of May election is known; de­
cided not to push Mount Hood loop at
a sacrifice of highways in Lake, Klam­
ath and other counties; agreed to ex
tend The Dalles-California highway 35
miles from Modoc Point to Sand creek;
suspended contract on Redmond-Prine­
ville road and will aid county on the
Crooked river road toward Paulina:
will neither pave nor consider road
from Woodburn to Newberg until state
map roads are disposed of and new
roads are taken up; accepted propos­
als of Union county, pending result of
May election, and ordered contracts
called; ordered survey to finish Enter-
price-Flora road in Wallowa county.
No action to be taken on Crater lake
project until after May election.
