British military experts are unable to
explain tho sudden mid violent of
fensive movements bepun by the Ocr
mnns to the west of Warsaw, in Rus
binu Poland, and in the vicinity of
La Iinsscc, on the northwestern end
of the bnttlo line in France.
In both these regions there had
been a return to the old btyle of
German battering, the men being
hurled forward in close formation nt
great sacrifice of lifo with, British
reports say, little permanent gains.
In IltiBsinn Poland the Germans arc
holding some ground in front of
Warsaw, which these attacks netted,
but the recent German onslaughts on
the western battle front, military of
ficials nssert, almost inyarinbly have
resulted in failure to consolidate the
positions gained.
It is suggested that Field Marshal
Yon Hindcnburg, tho Gcrmnn com

tho Polish capital with Uie idea of
holding there hmperpr Nicholas

I WHAT'S THE MATTER
THE Rogue River valley is oho oF nature's nio3. favored
localities. Its fields are fertile, its elhnate most de
sirable, its surroundings picturesque, its population pro
gressive, its natural resources immense. It is surrounded
by vast forests and extensive mineral belts. Agricultur
ally and borticulturally its products are unsurpassed. .Its
cities are modern and up to date. , '
Here are all the elements for the most prosperous and
one of the most populous communities in the world. What
is lacking is a more scientific, diversified and intensive
agriculture and a development of tho timber, mineral and
transportation resources.
The situation is most clearly shown by the railroad sta
tistics. In 1913 there were 1381 carloads of products
shipped out of the valley. In 1914 there were only GS3.
The year 1913 was a moderately wet year, the year 1914
a dry one. Here, then, we have the keynote of the situa
tion the need of irrigation. Any crop, fruit or other, is
a gamble without irrigation upon a large percentage of the
land hence the pressing need of irrigation.
Tn one line only the traffic reports of the two years
show favorably for last year, indicating the development
of the livestock industry. Tn 1913 the livestock ship
ments comprised 54 ears of cattle, 20 cars of hogs, 4 ears
of sheep. Tn 1914 they were 93 cars of cattle, 153 cars of
hogs and 22 ears of sheet) a total increase of a hundred
cars in a single year.
The opportunities offered
clearly set forth in the list of
10o2 carloads or products were
1914 the imports totaled 121C
exceeded the imports by 329
iyj.4 tho imports exceeded
healthy showing. In the wet year there was a narrow bal
ance of trade in favor of the vallev. In the dry year, a
heavy balance of trade against the valley and to secure
prosperity it is essential to produce more than is con
sumed.
The need of a. more diversified and intensive farming
is eloquently set forth in these figures that speak louder
than words. The necessitv ot
also apparent. Tluit the valley offers ti home market for
products is evident.
The imports for the year show 185 carloads of flour,
278 care of bran, shorts and feed, 32 cars of fruit and vege
tables, 74 cars of grain, 54 cars of hay, one car of onions,
57 care of potatoes, 17 ears of cereals and 5 ears of beet
pulp a total of 703 care, all of which should be and can be
produced in the valley.
The need of a milk condenser is apparent, in the fact
that 12 cars of condensed milk were imported by the val
ley. Here is a home market justifying tho establishment
of a factory, that will undoubtedly follow the establish
ment of a beet sugar factory, whose bi-produets will furn
ish the best and cheapest milch cow feed as well as stim
ulate the livestock industry in all its branches.
The urgent necessity of a local lumber mill and box
factory is shown by the figures showing, even in such a
quiet, year ns avi uiu importing m ivv cars vl jiunucr aim
15 care of box shooks. In 1913, als6 a quiet year, the lum
ber and box shook imports totalled 442 yirs. "With billions
of feet of merchantable timber surrounding the valley, not
a stick is cut, but hundreds of thousands of dollars a year
needlessly sent out to sustain payrolls in other sections of
the state.
The statistics unfortunately do not show the less-than-carload
shipments of produce, which will greatly increase
the balance of trade against the valley. There is a little
glimmer of sunshine in the fact that the valley is not now
importing eggs and poultry in carload quantities, as a few
yea re ago, but exporting small quantities. We lack four
carloads a year ot producing enough canned goods to sup
ply home markets, and, with apples rotting on the ground,
still import a car of yinegar a year. Three care of silos
were imported in 1914 against one car in 1913, also a
healthy sign.
There is plenty of opportunity for development of our
own resources, a good home market for scores of products
and an opening for the establishment of many industries.
They will all come in time but there is no time like the
present. "What is done in the future will benefit the future
generations what we do now will benefit our own.
All should pull together to secure irrigation, to secure
new industries, to develop our own resources, to patronize
and encourage those industries we already have, to encour
age the poultry and livestock industry and a more intens
ive and varied agriculture to the end that the Rogue River
valley may bo known as not only the most delightful of
localities to reside in, but the permanent abode of prosperity.
THE GAME PROTECTION FUND

1914, by William L. Flnley Stato Gamo Wardon.
In the state of Oregon from the
CoumbIa river to the California bor
der, is a, groat public dotpaln that will

area comprises tho Federal forest re

acres ot forest land not subject to
state tax, although the stato derives
35 per cent of revenues from grazing,
timber and other sources collected by
the. Federal government. Approxi
mately 25,000,000 acres moro is cov

used for agricultural purposes. In

within her bordors? What aro tho
resources of this great domain?
Our 40,000,000 acres ol forests
contain the finest mountain streams
and our most beautiful lakes. To
make- them valuabfo to the, stato, they
must bo stocked with fish. Prac
tically all our big gamo animals live
In our forests. Our forests areas
are tho recrea'tion grounds for our
people. This is tho area that will
always ho open to the poor man as
well as the rich man. As population
Increases, this Is tho only area in tho
state where we can guarantee hunt
ing and fishing to the poor man as
well as the rich man.
Our splendid streams, and lakes,
our snow-capped mountains, our mug-
nlflcont forests are attracting tour
ists from all parts ot tho world who
como to fish, hunt and enjoy out

heroine famous as a fishing and hunt
ing paradise. Angling for Chinook

ing for rainbows In tho Hj)guo, Mc
Kcnxlu, Doschutoi and our other
streams Is attracting peoplo from all
over tho United State. Kvory year
tourists coiua from Now York, Massa
chusetts, l,omi8lvanla and other
states to take their outings tn Ore
gon, Of whnt profit Is this to Oregon?
Tourists spend a largo amount of
money In railroad and stage fares, nt
hotels and farm houses, In tho em
ployment of guides, hiring horses,
purchasing equipment, supplies and
numerous other Items. This money
goes directly Into tho pockets of our
eltltens. Fishing and hunting thus
become a business piuposltlon to the
fnrmer, tho fruit-grower, tho tint
bcrman and every other land owner
tn tho stato by attracting tho class iff
travelers who hnve money to spend
and money to Invest.
