The evening was very pleasantly

set and other presents as tokens of
esteem and appreciation of her kind
and loveable disposition. After the
distribution of prlxes a delicious sup

On account of the downpour of

agreeably passed by singing, playing,
fortune telling and conversation. At
an early hour of the morning all de
parted wishing Mrs. Wakefield many

and divided among the pupils of that

matoes has of course been growing
all winter, and when it first made its
appearance It waa scarcely expected
that it would produce anything dur

decreed otherwise, and aa stated

plucked on the 3d Inst, and others
are to follow in the near future. The

all of them congregate near hay

640-A. HOMESTEADS
CONGRESS RECOMMENDS
CREASE IN ENTRIES
IN
All
Ln.Jh in This Section Subject
to 820-Arre Act Would be
Affected
A 640-acre homestead appears to
be a possibility in the near future if
the recommendation of A.. A. Jones,
first assistant Secretary of the In
terlor, Is heeded by Congress. It
would appear that the recomenda
tlon la endorsed by the administra
tion, for Mr. Jonea has embodied hla
recommendations in a bill which he
has submitted to Hon. Scott Ferri3,
chairman of the Committee on Pub
lie Lands.
In the sand-hill country of West
ern Nebraska Congress by the Act of
April 28. 1904, permitted the entry
of not exceeding 640 acres of land
upon condition thut entrymen com
ply with the homesteud laws as to
residence, improvements and cultiva
ttou, and also place upon the land
entered permanent improvements of
the value of not less than $1.25 pet
acre.
"The lands I have in mind," says
Mr. Jones, "becuuse of their arid or
semi-arid character, or because of
their location upon the mountain
tops or sides, will not produce agri
cultural crops for sale or exportation
In sullciont quantities to Justify ac
quirement thereof end residence un
der existing laws. They do, however,
posses? some value for grazing pur
poses and often Include tracts of
greater or less extent upon which
might be grown forage crops of lit
tie value for sale. Those who have
already entered lands of this charac
ter under existing laws in amounts
less than 640 acres should be placed
ou an equal footing viti thopo who
make entry after the passage of this
law, and provision has therefore been
made for the making of additional
entries by such entrymen or land
owners."
According to the tenor of the bill
it would include practically all lands
that are now subject to the 220-acre
homestead ate, and instead of the cul
tivation now required by the homo
stead law would necessitate the en
tryman expending not less than $1.23
per acre in improvements. To invest
$800 in a homestead in three yeara
would aeeiu dead easy, but not all

ATTEND TO ORCHARD
COUNTY FRUIT INSPECTOR
OF
FERS SUGGESTIONS
Now is Bet Time to Cut Out Might
DiseaNe and Spray the
Trees
County Fruit Inspector J. L.
Hampton of Paisley wrltea the Ex
aminer the following suggestions of
benefit to the fruit growers in eradi
eating the Pear Blight which affects
the pear, apple and quince:
'More can be accomplished now
before the sap starts than later on.
Every fruit grower should go
through his orchard and examine it
thoroughly and cut out all hold-over
blight, which is easily detected by
the dark discolored bark, and if
found to extend to the roots, as is
sometimes the case, the whole tree
should be dug up and burned.
"Care should be taken to use a dis
infectant after each cutting on the
tools used and on the wound. Cor
rosive sublimate should be used in
a solution of one part of the poison
to 1000 parts of water, and kept in
glass bottles. No other disinfectant
should be used. One should never
fail to disinfect the wound made iu
cutting out Blight.
"It is better to spray now with
lime and Bulpher, composed of three
gallons of water to one pound each
of lime and sulpher, as the eggs now
on the tree will be destroyed by the
spray, ana their destruction re
moves the cause for the young Aphis
which hatches out as soon ns tho
leaves begin coming out in the
Spring.

RANGERS TAKE BODY
REMAINS OF AMERICAN RETURN
ED FROM MEXICO
Evidence Unearthed That Texas
Rancher Waa Murdered Over
Border by Federals
Laredo, Tex., March 8. Texas
Rangers, who secretly crossed into
Mexico last night, today brought to
the American side the mutilated
body of Clemente Vergara, Texas
rancher, and establshed the fact of
his execution, after he was seized by
Mexican federals. .
Vegara was shot twice through the
head, and once through the neck.
The skull was crushed as by a blow
from a rifle and the chared finders of
the left hand indicated that he had
been tortured before being put to
death.
The body waa not decomposed, de
spite its three weeks' burial. In ad
dition to recognizing the features, re

Recovery of the body was made
by a ' force of nine Texas rangers. !
including friends of Vergara, acting
at the instance of the troop of Texas
rangers and Captain Saunders, who
have been Investigating for Governor
Colquitt the circumstances of Ver
gara 's seizure by Federals. A secret
investigation, in which many Mexi
cans had been queptioned is under
stood to have preceded the trip Into
Mexico. Leading the force was i
man who claimed to have been a wit
ness to the execution and burial of
Vergara.
Vergara left his ranch near Bala-
fox, Texas, February 13, and crossed
tho river Into Mexico on a message
from three federal soldiers that the
Captain of Hodalga garrison, wished
to settle for eleven horses taken
from Vergara'a place n Rio Grande.
He was assaulted and carried away
as Boon as he crossed the river.
CALL FOR NEW BIDS
XCLE HAM WANTS STAR ROUTE
MAIL CARRIERS
All HMs For Carry ing Mail Over Lo
cal Lines Were Reject ed
by the Government
Owing to all bids on local mail
carrying contracts having been rej
ected by the Postoffice Department
otices are now posted advertising
for new bids. The lines affected by
this are all three star routes operat
ing in and out of Lakevlew, namely,
Lakevlew-Plush; Lakevlew Paisley
and Lakevtew-Klamath Falls. The
contracts are to be let from July 1,
1914 to June 30, 1918.
It la understood that the reasons
for bids on these lines being reject
ed waa both on account of time sche
dules and what was considered ex
cessive costa. Apparently like condi
tions exist all over this interior coun
try as we note by numerous ex
changee that bids are being re-ad
vertised.
Bidders naturally feel entirely at
sea when it comes to figuring on
what they will be required to. carry
as mall during the next four years
owing to the parcel post, and It ia not
likely that satisfactory bids will be
received unless the department al
lows for a material increase on for
