HOTEL BENSON PORTLAND, OREGON Headquarters for IIoad'River Valley Folk Get the custom of meeting your home friends at o ' The RQavc City's most pretentious hostelry RATF.S RFASONARIT. S. BF.NSON o OWNKR A. I.UNDB0RG, 'Mas Acer Rubber Stamps Herman Leight and Mrs. A. D. Yen tress, both about 30 years of age, were killed instantly Saturday night at Cas cade Locks by the O.-W. K. & N. pass enger train east bound to Spokane. Mrs. Ventress, leaving her husband with the little one. was returning from the village after a purchase of medi cine for a sick child. Coroner Bartmess held an inquest Sunday. Testimony was given both ly Engineer Wells and Fireman Zena da, of the train. A heavy fog covered the Cascade districts. The couple was walking to the east, the man holding an umbrella over Mrs. Ventres to pro tect her from heavy shower. Mr. Wells says he thought the umbrella was a dark place where the snow had been cleaned out from around a frog until within 50 feet of the couple. He then applied the emergency brake, but too late. The man and woman were knocked down and dragged about 100 feet, both having been killed instantly. A passenger train that leaves Port land a short time earlier than the Spokane limited, doing accommodation work en route, was on a Cascade Locks siding. Two pedestrains, seeing that Mr. Leight and Mrs. Ventress were on the main track and would be struck by the on rushing train, yelled a warning, which they failed to hear. The body of Mr. Leight, who has been in Cascade Locks but a short time, was taken to McMinnville for burial. Mrs. Ventress' funeral was held in Portland. LUMBER JACKS FELL ENGLISH FORESTS England's ancestral forests, jealous ly guarded by many generations of F.nglinhmen, are rapidly being cut down by Amercian brawn. Word of this latest sacrifice of senti ment to necessity.es me to this country recently in reports of the progress of the ten saw mill units which New England contributed to the common warfare against autocracy. These units, numbering over 300 sturdy lumber jacks, recruited by the Boston committee on public saftey from the backwoods of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, have been busily engaged for Jsome time in the forests around which much of the best of English literature has been written. History in the making rather than that of centuries past, however, leaves its impression uon the northwoods representatives of America as they turn out in hundreds of thousands of feet, the lumber so necessary to army progress in constructing billets, bridges, trenches, dugouts and the other requirements of Mars. As they level the forests which are the last strongholds' of the Old England many of their forefathers knew, the men are unmoved by imagination, ex cept when some lumberjack conjures up a mental picture of the forces re sponsible for Belgium and the Lusi tania, and swings an extra vigorous and vicious stroke in consequence. The units are scattered along the banks of a river for 10 miles and each is a small community in itself, gath ered around a central hut presided over by a Y. M. C. A. secretary, where the "i .ii assemble for amusement in their leisure hours. To illustrate the inexhaustible en ergy of the men--the statement that basket ball is the most popular amuse ment after hours of vigorous work means much to those who know the strenuous possibilities of the game. During their Christmas holidays over half the men paid a visit to Lon don, where they were accommodated at the Eagle Hut of the American Y. M. C. A. Several days were spent acquiring experiences which will be retold in American lumbering camps for many years to come. Motion in Slander Case Heard .1. L. Allen, acquitted Thursday of a charge of arson, again appeared in cir cuit court Saturday morning as plain titV in an action, filed by him just be fore his arrest in the criminal case, in which he seeks to recover damages from Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Hill, oc togenarian Heights couple, members of his former congregation, whom he ac cuses of slander. The preacher ap peared himself in court to argue a mo tion interposed by the defendant's at torney, Jno. Kaker. The suit, which has created as much of a sensation as the arson case, will be tried at the July term of court. In discussing the case Mr. Hill states that, it is the first time he was ever before a court. Mr. Allen states that he may be come a candidate for aheriff at the May primaries. The Pneumonia Season The cold, tlamp weather of March seems to be the most favorable for the pneumonia germ. Now is the time to be careful. Pneumonia often results from a cold. The quicker a cold is gotten rid of the less the danger. As soon as the first indication of a cold appears take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. As to the value of this prep aration, ask anyone who has used it. Almond Trees Blooming ! Braving snow showers and cold rains, ! almond trees on the lawn of I). Mc I Iionald are in full bloom. J. A.

In support of this assertion Mr. Poole gave some interesting facts con cerning present renditions. "Those are the very words 1 used in an address before the National Live-; stock convention at Spokane a few ! days ego, and moreover, 1 told the 1 prominent men gathered there that it , woutil be particularly fortunate for the ' livestock interests of the entire Pacific ; Northwest if K. N. Sianfield, of Ore- gon, was nominated and elected I'nited! States senator." said Mr. Poole while j in Portland. "He is a practical live-1 stock man who knows all ends of the business, and in addition is a business i man of good judgment. Such a man is badly needed in Washington right now." Mr. Poole arrived in Portland from the Spokane convention and left im mediately for California where he will remain for a few weeks before return ing to his home at Chicago. He is a newspaper man, who for years has been in close touch with all phases the livestock industry. He is on the edi torial staff of the Breeders' Gazette, handles all the stockyard news for the Chicago Evening Post, the Chicago Evening Journal, and the Chicago Ex aminer and American. He is also part owner of the Shorthorn World of Chicago. "A man of Mr. Stanneld s experi ence," explained Mr. Poole, "at Wash ington would beneht the livestock men of the entire country. As a senator he would be in a position to give exec utive otlicials the real facts concerning meat production. A business man will not be regarded as will a senator who. by virtue or his position, commands attention. Mr. Hoover would have been in a position to have helped th e country to a much greater extent had he been given the advice of a senator who thoroughly understood the live stock business. 0 PHEASANTS DO NOT LIKE TARRED CORN Editor Glacier: One way to do "our bit" is to tell of anything that will benefit others, and in these war times to save food material, if we don't know much, we are excusable if we don't tell much. The first year I planted corn in Hood Kiver the pheas ants took it as a personal faviir to them, and pulled up about half of the piece to see how the corn was grow ing. When I replanted it and every time since, 1 have used the remedy we employ in New England as a protection against the crows, and have had no more trouble in that respect. The remedy is: To a pail of water add a teaspoonful of coal tar. Stir it thoroughly, put the corn in and mix well, so there will be a very thin coat ing of the coal tar on each kernel, and then it may be dried and planted with a planter, as if it bad not he6n treated. If the coal tar is very thin it may require a bit more, but if you can see any film of tar, it is plenty. Perhaps some of the farmers will appreciate this more than they do rais ing pheasants for city people to shoot. This remedy seems to be effective against diggers and gophers also, A. J. Grow. 0 o if r itih EDISON IS BUSY in the service of his country. We hear of him at sea on one of his sleepless o-jret-her camijaisna of experimentation.

In site of the heavy National problems with which Mr. Edison is wrestling, he has still fount! time to devote to perfecting The Edison Record His German supply of chemicals cut off, Mr. Edison lient his matchless mind to the problem of making all his ozvn chemicals, so now everything in the make-up of this famous record comes from his own plant.

KEIR, Reliable Druggiot 3C DOC 3C 3C AMERICAN AND GER MAN EFFICIENCY MORE CARS, BUT NOT ENOUGH VET The Apple Growers Association, with an approximate 200 cars of apples un shipped, was alloted three cars last Thursday, the first for the month of March. Friday six cars were loaded by the sales agency. Unless more cars are received here, it is stated by officials of the Associa tion, a loss may be experienced by growers or purchasers for worn fruit is held in storage. The total of stocks held by the Association are valued at approximately $200,000. "If the apples are not moved until other fresh fruits begin to arrive on the market," says Sales Manager Mc Cullagh, "we will be unable to secure consumption of them. People will not buy apples when the season of straw berries and other small fruits arrive. Furthermore, every day adds to the deterioration of fruit held in storage." ORCHARDISTS FORM SQUIRREL CLUB From the Mosier Iinlletin Under the direction of A. R. Chase, county agent, who came here Saturday afternoon to talk to local farmers re garding the necessity of ridding the country of pestiferous squirrels of the digger and gopher type, 300 quarts of poison was mixed in the presence of all who attended. An organization was perfected with Wm. H. Cook, elected as president and R. D. Chatfield, secretary-treasurer. Fifty local orchardists joined the Mo sier Squirrel 1'oison club, the membera contributing a fee of 50 cents to help defray cost of necessary ingredients. The county will contribute otie half of the sum necessary for the poison. All local farmers who have not joined the club are urged to do so at once and call at the Mosier Fruit Growers Asso ciation for squirrel poison. A con certed drive will begin soon on these rodents that will soon be out in battal ions. This special poison -has been en dorsed by the Department of Agricul ture. Brush Fire Causes Alarm It was learned Thursday that a fire viewed from here the night before and thought to have been the large home of C. I). Moore, owner of a large ranch along 4he Cotumbia lowlands on the Washington side of the river, was made by a huge bonfire of brush on the Moore place. The fire, plainly visible from Hood River, created a great deal of alarm Wednesday night. The searchlight of war has brought ' out many interesting facts, and one of i these is that the vaunted German effi-' eiency will not always stand the test of comparison with American effici ency. The Germans boasted of being the greatest farmers on earth. Investiga- tion shows that in efficiency in agri-1 culture, measure by the produce per ' acre, America being graded at 10i, j Helgium leads the world, at 205 ; Great I Britain comes second at lt4 ; and Ger many third, at 15"; America comes fourth. But the better test is the man test rather than the acre test, and here America leads the world by over 2 to 1. Again, grading America at 100 per farm worker, Great Britain produces 4.'! and Germany 41. The American farmer cultivates 27 acres, the Ger man fanner but 7. With the aid of vast quantities of fertilizer the Ger man produces more per acre, but he produces at a much greater cost per bushel and he produces much,less than haif us much per man. GUIGNARD GETS OR DER FROM TASMANIA August Guignard has devised an ap ple sizing machine, which, according to experts who have seen it in opera tion, will go far toward cutting the cost of packing apples. While many machines have been devised, the com pactness, , cheapness of original con struction and cost of operation of Mr. : Guigard's machine is said to lie an ai- i i- f . peanng ieaiure. Designs of the machine have been sent by Mr. Guignard to domesitc fruit districts and those of foreign countries. He is receiving many orders, and a crew of men is kept busy in the manu facture of the sizer on his West Side ranch. Mr. Guignard Saturday received an order by cable from Hobart, Tasmania, for one of the machines. He says he is receiving numerous inquiries from orchardists in New Zealand. P. DETIIMAN, LOCAL MAN'S NEPHEW, LOST ! C. Dethman, pioneer orchardist and i vice president of the First National Bank, has just received a letter from j his nephew, Herman Dethman, of Mc- Cabe, Mont., who states that he has i received a telegram from the war de partment announcing his brother, Peter Dethman, among the Tuscania list of missing. The young man was a mem ber of Co. E, 20th Engineers. The young engineer has a brother, John Dethman, who is a resident of St. Helens. Mrs. Aldred Reunites with Father From the Mosier Bulletin The following article appeared in the Telegram recently in a dispatch from Cathlamet, Wash., : "A. Taylor, an Idaho man, and his daughter, Mrs. William Aldred of this place, were re united in this place a few days ago after being separated since the daugh ter was 4 years old, at which time she was adopted by a family afterwards I removing out of the reach of the father."
