In speaking of the Modoo Fair which wai held last week at Alturas, the Plaindealer starts off with tne follow ing: "This is Fair week, bat all the same it has been about as doll as one of Grover Cleveland's messages on civil service reform. As a matter of fact, aside from the baseball teams there bis been no increase of the regular business visitors from the country. We shall not undertake to accour.t tor this lack of interest on tne part of citizens of Modoc county. - It is suffi cient to know that it exists." The Klamath Northwestern says the first day of the Klamath County Fair was a great success from the standpoint of the exhibits shown, but further states "It was hardly a suc cess from the standpoint of either numbers of exhibitors or exhibits." The Cattle Situation The cattle situation has become so acute and is attractina such general attention that every we) I-informed man in the livestock business is. anxious to have the facts at hand. Apart from the ample circumstantial evidence that beef cattle are scarce, we have tbe farm animal ceosus of the United States Agricultural Depart ment as of January 1, 1913. A decrease of 1.7 per cent since January 1, 1912 is quoted. The sta tistics are from Government sources and indicate a decrease on beef cattle from 1906 of 23.4 per cent and an in crease In population from 1906 of 13.2 per cent. Here is a demonstration of the fact that tbe numbers of cattle and people are traveling in inverse ratio. We have 11,324,256 more consumers of meat than in 1906 and 11,037,656 fewer cattle to yield beef. WPP GUARANTEED Kg to be equal to any Beer brewed.

The Ltkeview ball team was rather unsuccessful in their trip to Alturas last week "to gsther clams." There were four teams, namely: Alturas, Madeline, Ft. Bidwell and Lakeview entered in the Alturas tour nament, and the local boys came home witn the consolation prize, fourth money, a purse of 1100. Alturas kept first money at home, Madeline took second purse and Bidwell third. During the tournament tbe games were played as follows: Monday, Bidwell vs. Alturas, score 12 to 4, favor of Alturas; Tuesday Bidwell vs Lakeview, score 15 to 4, favor of Bid well: Wednesday, Madeline vs. Alturas, score 12 to 2, favor of Alturas : Tours day, Madeline vs. Bidwell, score 12 to 10, favor of Madeline; Friday, Made line vs. Lakeview, score 13 to 12, fav or of Madeline. The tournament was concluded Saturday with a game be tween Alturas and Lakeview, the later meeting defeat in a score of 12 to 8. Potatoes for Starch Mr. C. C. Moore, of tbe United De partment of Chemistry, has been in Oregon for two weeks studying the adaptability of Oregon potatoes as a raw product for the manufacture of starch. Be has declared his faith in the possibility of establishing factories for tbe manufacture of starch and glucose from potatoes and has bad a meeting with prominent Portland business men with this end in view. It is stated that the Pacific Northwest at present consumes about 10,000 tons of starch per year, practically all of which ia shipped from the East. The establishment of a starch mill in Ore gon would supply this annual demand and would also provide an outlet for surplus spuds during seasons of low prices. 71 1 L J SAMPLES WANTED FORLAND SHOW Tulsa Dry Farming Con gress Will Excell All Past Conventions. The writer Is in receipt ot m com munication from Tillman Ksuttr. of Madras, who has charge ot the farm exhibits that are to be sent from this state to tbe Dry Farming Congress at lalsa, Okla. October 22 to Novamber 1, stating that he Is particularly anxioos that this section be represent ed st tbe Congress. Farm products and garden vegetables in peck lots are desired, and the sain pies should be rushed to Portland lmmediat.lv after; the present County Fair. Shipping tags which will carry the exhibits to Portland tree ot charge after reaching tne railroad, can be bad at this office. The samples should be well selected and carefully packed to insure safe delivery at Portland, at which place they will be repacked and displayed by the State Immigra tion Commission this part of the state to be represented by Mr. Reuter, who will attend the Congress in person. C. C Chapman, State Immigration Agent writes the Examiner also that space has been secured at the United States Land Show at Chicago, at which all samples from here will be displsyed after the Farming Congrcaa at Tulsa. " It is of paramount importance that Lake County should be represented at the Eastern Land Shows and especially at the Dry Farming CongTess at Tulsa, the following description of which will rfive a general conception of the magnitude of this farm convention : Men from thirty nationa will attend the eighth annual meeting of the In' ternationsl Dry Fsrming Congress st Tulsa. Oklahoma and will tell about toe methods of farming in all regions of slight rainfsll or occasional drouth Official delegates are expected at Tulsa from every continent on the globe China, whose farmers have tilled the same lands for forty cen turies, will be officially represented by its minister of agriculture, Chun Sen Chan. Tunis, in north Africa. which has been a dry-farming region since the iime of Hannibal, will bave representatives in Tulsa, to learn even more of the science which its farmers have practiced for 2.500 years Persia, whose sericulture is as old as history, will have at least two del egates, including the Mirra Ali Kuli Khan. Palestine will send its great est agriculturist. Dr. Aaron Aaron- sobn, who today conducts a huge farm on the land which tbe shepherds used in tbe time of Christ. Fourteen gnvernors ot states and scores of congressmen have accepted invitationa to be present. On top of all these will be tens ot thousands of actual farmers who come from every state in the Union and from everv province in Canada to study methods whereby tney may inorease the yields per acre on tbelr own farms. Tbe great farm meeting at Tulsa will be held in nine sections, beginning October 22 and lasting five da. s. Tbe exposition held in connection with it will begin five dsys earlier, on Oct ober 22, and will last until November One sectional meeting will be de voted entirely to talks about soils, tillsge methods and farm machinery. In other sectional meetings will be studied tbe home breeding snd selec tion of seeds, live stock and dairying, feed and forage crops, farm forestry, tbe right kind of education for country boys and girls, farm management and farm engineering. The real purpose of the International Dry Fsrming Congress and ot its meet- ngs is to teach methods tor the con quest of drouth. It bss nothing to do with politics, colonization or religion. It is not an agricultural college, neith er does it conduct experiment or demonstration farms. It merely col lects from all possible sources the available information about methods whereby farmers may increase their yields per acre, the quality of their crops and their bank accounts in all regions of light or irregular rainfall It then passes this information or through its annual conventions and its publications, to tbe farmers in many nations. The International Congress now has officers in ninteen nations and members in sixty and its influence for the de velopment of farming methods is world-wide. Its work Is of especial importance through the southwestern ststes, all of wbiob are subiect to occasional drouth which in many seas ons cuts the profits out bt farming. In even the driest years, however, thousands of farmers are making good through tbe practice of the new meth ods which are revolutionizing agricul ture. These farmers will be at Tulsa and will help in making the eighth eongress and exposition tbe most Im portant meeting of its kind ever held on tbe American continent. If any one should ask you who is Mayor of New York just at tbe present time, von msy answer: "Colonel Adolpb Kline. S. P. OFFICIAL ONJONG TRIP Vice-President Calvin was To Have Passed Through Lakeview. A recent press dispatch to tbe Sac ramento Bee, under an Alturas date line says : "E. K. Calvin, Firat Vloa President of the Southern Pacific, went from bere to Susanvllle by auto, thenoe'td Klamath Falls, following the line ot the Southern Paclhc extension. "From Klamath rails Calvin went to Lakeview thence through the Fan dango Pass to Cedarville in Surprise Vslley and then to Alturas and back to Sussnville. "The work on the extension beyond Susanvllle the first twenty-four miles will be completed by contract . time, November 1st. Tbe Utsh Construc tion Company, which has the railroad construction under way, haa taken a lease for 1914 and 1915 on its offices in Sussnville and expects by the end of the lease to bave tbe track laid through to Klamath from Susanvllle." What the article tally signifies is problematical, and whether or not Vice-President Calvin made tne trip through Lakeview ia not known. Fighting In Mexico In a fierce battle in Mexico last Monday more than four hundred fed eral and rebel dead were left on the field below rJarroteran, says a dispstch from Piedras Nergas. It Is stated that both aides retired from the field becsuie of lsok of ammunition. Tbe great tailroad bridge crossing tbe Ssbinas river waa dynamited. A dispatoh from Vera Crus of the same date ssys: Panzacola, outside of Puebla, was sttscked, and taken early thia morning by rebels. The town was ascked and when a passenger train arrived at Pjebla. the engineer was killed and the fireman badly wounded. All the passengers were robbed ot their poss essions. Two officers belonging to tbe federal army, who were passengers on the train, were put to death. A great sensation has been caused by tbe incident. Practically the entire road bed of the railway baa been torn up between Penzacola and the station beyond. School Notes Friday afternoon will be a half holi day on account of tbe County Fair.

Tracy Ranch Sold A desl was closed the first of the week whereby the Uoose Lake Valley Irrigation Company purchased the Tracy ranch in Drews Valley. The ranch comprises 440 seres and the price is said to be $10,000. The largest portion of the property will be covered by the cumpany's res ervoir, and it has been the csuse of some litigation since construction of tbe Drews dam begun three years ago. Causes of Typhoid Any attempt to trace typhoid infec tion to tho use of uncooked vegetables such as lettuce, watercress, and celery s likely to succeed only under rather peculiar conditions. Ordinarily, the distribution of such articles of food to a large circle of consumers, and tbe difficulty of discovering, several weeks afterward, that such things were eaten, and by whom, are facts that conspire to render us Ignorant of tbe real frequency of such sources of infection. A remarkable typhoid out break apparently due to polluted watercress has recently been reported from Philadelphia to The Journal of tbe American Medical Association. A wedding breakfast, June 24, with forty-three guests in attendance, nine teen persons ate watercress sandwich es, eighteen of wbom later developed typhoid fever. Investigation by the Philadelphia Bureau of Health showed strong reas on for suspecting watercress to be tbe vehicle of infection. Mr. and Mrs. F. N. Curtis yesterday came down from Valley Falls, bring ing a splendid displsy of dry farming exhibits from their ranch for the fair. REGISTER TO VOTE AT CITHLECTION Electors Now Have Out Two Days In Which to Act. With the near approach of the city and special state election the matter of registration ot voters is causing discussion. Different sketches taken from the registration act which was passed by the last Uglslsture read as follows: "It shsll be tbe duty of every elec tor in the state to register prior to the regulsr general election in 1914. As long as the elector resides in the pre cinct from which he registers he shsll not be reaulred again unless he snail fail to vote at any eloction for Stale officers, in which case he will again register before being allowed to vote. If the elector desires to change from one political party to another he may register again at his request ty fur nishing tbe necessary Informstlon to tbe fountv clerk, or an official regis trar, causing his previous registration to be cancelled. Or he may re-register upon changing precincts. "Tbe provisions of this act shall apply to all municipal corporations of this state and elections h.ld therein. As to municipal corporations whose boundaries are coterminous with one election pr.c'nct or a group of election prtcinuts, it shall be the doty of the city recorder, or other officer of any such municipality performing tbe duties usually performed by a city re corder, to apply to tbe county clerk of tbe county in which such municipality Is situated, not less than thirty days prior to any general election or fifteen days before any special city election for tbe triplicate precinct registers mentioned in Seotion 3 of the election precioct lying within the boundaries of such municipality, and such county clerk shall furnish the same complete to a date CO dsys prior to the date of such general election snd 15 days prior to such special election, but not later." As noted sbove. it states that "it shsll be the duty of e' ery elector in the state to register prior to the rig ulsr general election In 1914." It ia taken from this that it is not necessary for electors to register before voting st tho special election this Kail. But concerning city elections, atten tion is called to the pert: "the provis ions of this act shall apply to all municipal corporations of this state and elections held therein." Thcact referred to is now a law, and former registration laws sre repesled. There fore, it is tbe belief tbst It becomes necessary for electors to register be fore voting at the general city election in Lakeview which will be held for the same date of the special state election, November 4th. Such being tbe esse, voters hsve but two dsys in which to register after today, that being Frlaay snd Ssturdsy, October 3 and 4, in order to register 30 dsys prior to the regular city election.

LAKEVIEW DROUGHT EFFECTS CATTLERA1SERS Predicted That Deef Will Qoas High as Fifty Cents a Pound. The San Francisco Commercial Jour nal, a very conservative Journal says: Predictions are being made In lb West tbst the coming winter wilt witness beef prices as big as 60 cent a pound. In the face of this bad oat look the first thought of the consumer is as to ihe necessity for the Jump to this almost prohibitive msrk. The ex planation Is easy. For weeks the cat tle grazing sections have been sub jected to unprecedented, best and droutb. Pastursge has been destroyed and the corn crop burned up. The exlgenclra of the situation bave forced the growers to ship the cattle to mar ket because there will be no feed to fstten them. Conditions In Ihe cattle raising regions are so bad that the owners are confronted by the unheard of necessity ot having corn shipped from distant points,. This la an ex pensive way to feed cattle, and rather than face certain loss the cattle are being shipped to market as rapidly as possible. Next will be a shortsge of beef and consequent reoord prices. For this desperste stste of affairs tbe elements alone are to be bUmed, for It la something over which a beef trust hss no control. For our meat we de pend on the cattle raisers: for their csttle the raisers depend on the feed produced when It Is needed. When the fesd falls csttle cannot be raised. There Is no alternative but to pay the prices or stop eating meat.
