Xw Oregon Project One of the newest and mouts In teresting crops raised In Oregon Is the mint from which peppermint oil is extracted. In other sections of tho 'country where this oil Is an estab lished product, the oil sells at 13 to $4 per pound. Kxperlmeut conduct ed in tho vicinity of West Stayton, Marlon County, Indicates that this crop when growu under irrigation, will yield at the rate of $120 per acre. It is expected that a plant for distilling the oil will be erected at West Stayton and n profitable busi ness in tho shipping of plants to other sections built up. 1 o There la quite a religious uwakeu ing in the Uaptlnt Church of Silver Lake.

IHHL'EH WAUMNG AOAINHT MOMK MA A. (ill) CTItEH Government Hit Not Approved Any Treatment for Disease Except the rrotectlve Hcrtim Washington, I), C, June 9, Evi dence of what appears to be a well organized campaign to delude farm era throughout tho country Into buy ing an alleged euro for hog cholera under the Impression that this ho Jieen Investigated and approved by the United States Government, has reached tho Department of Agrlcul ure and received reports from the state of Minnesota allowing that the medicine had proved most benofl. clal. As a matter of fact the one report received by tho Department was an unofficial and unsolicited Ktutement sent presumably from the promoter themselves. The Depart ment attaches no Importance what soever to this Htatement. It has no reason to bellyve In the eftlclcney of,about Uh, tarff as a )ar He Hnow. any proprietary cure for hog chol era and does not recommend any. Under certain conditions It urges farmers to protect their stock with antl-hog cholera serum but that Is all. ' In connection with this attempt It may be said that the medicine, which la now put forward as good for hogs, was advertised some time ago as a means of killing tuberculo ids, typhoid and cancer germ, ac cording to an article published In the Journal of the American Medical Association. At that time It was as serted that the Army was Interested In it. Am a matter of fact the Army was no more Interested In It than the Department of Agriculture now is. In view of the evidence that the attempt to create this false impres sion I widespread and persistent, all hog owners are warned to com munlcute with the United States au thorities before accepting as true any statement that the Government recommends ary treatment other than the serum ulrcady mentioned. FAIRiWISACTIVE MANV IMPROVEMENTS GOIN OX AT SUMMER RESORT Nuturday Was Devoted to Iteuulify InH Natural Park Will t ele brate Fourth of July Fa'cport, Calif. June 2, (Special) -The spirit of Improvement pre vail", at Fulrport and, as a result, a big di -legation of workers set apart last Saturday as "Park Day" and do nated a day's work to the beautify ing of the natural park along the lake front. The ladles prepared lun cheon and played an Important part In the work by planting flowers and arranging the vailous rest places for the visitors Seventy rods of fence was constructed during the day. On Monday evening a meeting of the new Falrport Improvement As sociation was held in the lobby the the Falrport Inn and arrange ments completed for one of the most extensive Fourth of July programs undertaken In Northern California for some time. The program will present something new In the line of uquutlc sports, launch races, sail boat races and all the features Inci dent to water sport. On this occa sion the big public hall now being erected by Fred San ford will be dedi cated by u grand ball. The buildlug Is 25xS0 feet, two stories high and will, when lluished, represent one of the finest dancing floors in the northern part of the state. The best music procurable will be employed and every possible effort made in the direction of clean amusement for visitors and the people in the coun try tributary. The new 30-passenger, cabin launch, being built by ltecelver Wil kinson, of the Fandango Lumber Compauy will probably be launched on this occasion. This Is one of the prettiest launches outside of the craft along the coast and will be run. by ti powerful engine. More than this the Wernmark ItroH. are making every possible ef fort to have the big sixty footer now under construction completed for launching on the Fourth. This is the big passenger launch, capable of carrying 200 passengers, that will ply regularly by a sixty-horsepower engine, have forward cabins and every modern feature. The Naldos, 25-passenger launch and two others aro already in commission on the lake. Sunday was a big day at the Inn. Lakeview, Alturas and all these points contributed to the troutfeBt. liahing will be possible by the mid dle of the month and then the at tractions will be doubled at tho re sort. o vine k;:amineu fok joii wokk, AUSTRALIA IN LEAD FOREIGN OROWEHH TAKK IlET' TEll CARE OF THE WOOL KHaker Declare Efllclcnsy In MoT" ketinft (lip I'p To Hlummrd of AuHlrullit Imperative On the acceptance of the Austral Ian system of " marketing wool de-J pends the future of the wool grow ing In this county, according to J, K, Cosgrlff, one of the largest In dividual owners of sheep in the west and president of a string of banks In Idaho, Utah, Nevada and other western (dates. Mr. Cosgrlff made an illuminating address on the sub ject at the llanker'a Convention In Iteno, Nevada, which not only startled the many wool growers pre sent but which opened their eyes to the fact that unless they kept up with progress and show efficiency one of the greatest Industries of the west is doomed. ..The Hpeaker did not talk much ed how In every department the Australian woolgrower was profiting by the mistakes of Americans. In every department he pointed out room for improvement hero, from the breed and care of the rheep, the method of packing the cost of shipment, the cost of middlemen's percentages, to the advantage of an open market which the sheepmen after all these years do not possess. There has been practically no de velopment of wool growing iu this country, CosgrifT said. It Is where It was while other countries are going ahead. Our sheep "are noth ing more than scrubs" as compared with the beautiful product of Eng land, and in Australia there is far ther development yet. "Why Is this?" the speaker asked and proceeded to answer. He partly blamed the tariff for the downfall, rather than blamed the taking off of the tariff. "A man with a life preserver nev er learns to swim," said Cosgrlff, and he believes that this is one rea son why the western wool Industry has never developed. Without the tariff Australia has worked her way Into the market. With it the west has languished In unprogressive ness. Experiment here under both a protective tariff and a low tariff has failed to enlighten the grower as to why the wool lndRtry does not advance. The tariff did not bring the Intended benefit to the In dustry. Inefficient agricultural rolleges in a territory dependent on the wool Industry were blamed In part. They do not teach what is required in range growing. They have failed to "connect" with the industry whereas in Knglund and Australia! experts are turned out who leave. u.e.r impress on u.e inaurury. ; . Woolbuyers have the best of the , growers under present conditions, the speuker said. They buy accord ing to average and not by sentiment or disposition. They do not seek grades but would rather take a lot t a time of need on a speculation and when they speculate it is the grower who stands the chance to lose. Uuiu of wool for market purposes wm described by the speaker. He told how under the present system wool must be handled six or seven times in the sorting because the grower will not try to do the sorting first. o HELP THE KIDXEVH l.akevlew Readers Are The Way Learning It's the little kidney ills The lame, weak or aching back The unnoticed urinary disorders That may lead to dropsy and Ilright's disease.

RYE ON A LONG TRIP SEED SEXT 2MM MILEH AT l,OH per nr.iHi;i I Freak Trip Taken bf Parcel Vont Khlprnent from JIurns to Fort Hock Harney County News: News papers, magazines, and various pub lications have been full of freak shipments made by parcel post, but L. Woldenburg, of this place, mana ger of the Austln-Curns star route stage line, has one that tops all or any freak shipment ever made by parcel post says the Canyon Eagle: On April 6th at Ilurns he was giv en 1200 pounds of seed rye to be shipped by parcel post to Fort Itock in Lake County of this state a dis tance of 120 miles. It was in the second zone and the postal rate was 11.08 a hundred. Instead of going to Fort Itock by pack horse or con veyance it of course had to follow the usual mall route and Mr.. Wol denburg hauled It 86 miles to Prair ie City. It then was shipped over the Sumpter Valley , railroad to Ilaker City, a distance of 86 miles. It was then taken to Portland, 350 In lies, then to Sacramento, about 900 miles. From Sacramento it was shipped to Reno, Nevada, 250 miles and then to Lakeview, 240 miles. From tbere.lt was loaded on a star route stage and hauled to Fort Rock 130 miles. This rye was ' hauled 2000 miles to be delivered 120 miles distance. It went over two stage lines and a half dozen railroads and still kept within the second zone. Government red tape prevented the proper and reasonable delivery of the shipment and as a consequence It had to go through three states and travel 2000 miles to get 120 miles. PROPER WATER USE SPItlNKI.iNO THK LAWX MATTKK FOR HTl'DY IH liiiroH'r I'se of Water Will Cause Droughts fod Soaking Re gularly Recommended Had watering is the cause of al most as many poor lawns as the droughts, according to the landscape gardner of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. Frequent watering of merely the surface of the grass makes the roots of the grass grow near the surface, and these roots should be made to grow down as deeply as possible in order to secure a fine lawn that will resist tIl0 noUegt weather of summer The best niethod of waterlng the grass is to apply a spray from six to twelve ,lourf tne stream being that thp ...tpr wln nnt collect in sufficient quantities to run off. The water will then sink down into the soil and the roots will grow to a greater depth. When this method is used the lawn should not be watered oftener than twice a week and then the ground should be soaked, so that the water penetrates several inches below the surface. As a general rule, watering once a week is sufficient to keep the lawn In good condition. The man who enjoys watering his lawn In the evening for a half an hour after returning from work will probably prefer this ethod to leav ing the stream on for a number of hours once a jf'ek. If he will divide his lawn area into six parts ancl con fine his attention to one part each evening, he will obtain practically the same results In the long run. Haphazard watering every evening Is not advisable. He should be care ful, also to use merely a gentle spray and not continue watering to such an extent that water runs off, as such water does no good. In fact It may do harm for It may remove loose dirt from the trass roots and expose them to drought. The strong stream of a hose should not be used, as it helps to expose the roots un necessarily. , Many people wonder why drought dries up their, lawns In July after they have taken what they consider to be good care of them. The com bination of hot winds and dry wea ther makes July undoubtedly the hardest month for lawns and when the roots of the grass are encourag ed to grow near the surface by bad watering aud the loose dirt is also removed from them by a hose of strong water power, the results are more, disastrous than if the lawn had been left alone. Lumber shipments to San Francis co from west coast harbors aggregat ed 23,850,000 for the first two weeks of May, Coos Bay sent 5,170,000 feet. BETTERJOR SHEEP HKDDI.VO OUT SVSTKM ADVO CATED FOIl KIIEEP RAX;EH iiiowt-r Attest that Lambs are Hea vier and Other Improvements Over Old Methods As a result of experiments dur ing the past few years the depart ment of agriculture is now advo cating the use of the bedding- out system of herding sheep on open ranges, Instead of the old close- herding system which has heretofore been in use. This system gets its name from the fact that the herder who attends the band camps and beds his flocks wherever the sheep find themselves at nightfall. Under the old plan he establishes a fixed canrp and bed- ground and 4lrove the sheep back to the same place each night. Through experience on the na tional forest ranges last year the department states that lambs from bedded-out bands were five pounds heavier on an average at the end of the season than those which were trailed to and from established bed grounds, and that the range can car ry frojn 10 to 25 per cent more sheep than when bo much is trampl ed out in traveling back 'and forth. The disadvantages of the old sys tem, according to the department, were two-fold, those, to the forage and those to the sheep. The for age suffered by being' trampled bad ly, and being actually destroyed at and near the bed - grounds; the sheep lost weight in going to and from the camps, and in dry weather suffered not a little from dust and from crowding. Moreover, under the old system the sheep were kept pretty well bunched; under the new. plan they graze at will in scattered, open flocks. During the day the herder j moves about in a wide circuit around his charges, looking for tracks to see that none of the sheep has strayed beyond his circle. The sheep are constantly moving thru new feed Instead of traveling over areas already fed over. Sheepmen have . maintained that the close herding system so long in ut-e was necessary to prevent losses from straying, and from the ra vages of animals, such as wolves, coyotes, and mountain Hons. The ex periments of the Service show that straying can be prevented, and one HOTEL LAKEVIEW F- S;l?J1T ERECTED IN 1900 Sample Room for Commercial Travelers Modern Throughout.

FULLER. band on the Payette forests, Idaho, which never bedded two nights la the sme place, and which grazed lu timber and brush practically the en tire summer, lost only four head; in this, as the majority of cases, tho loss under the new system was less than under the old one of close herding, The Forest rangers and trained hunters of the service conporate with the herdsmen to rid the ranges of predatory animals, and to render the danger of loss from this source less than It was formerly. How tho new system is regarded by the sheep owners is Indicated bjr the following letter to the supervis or of the Tahoe national forest, Cal ifornia: ' "I am in favor of the 'blanket' or 'camping out' system of sheep herd ing. I have always found the sheep and lambs in better condition when camped out, and in feeding tba range in that way It will carry more sheep and it does not damage the range as when they are driven from, one camp. I have always been very careful about feeding my summer range and ! think, by the way I have had it fed, it is as good if not better than it was twenty years ago." The author of this letter accord ing to forest officers, is a very suc cessful wool-grower, and the range which he uses under permit from the government is always in the best of condition, and yet is stocked with, sheep to its fullest capacity. o Wets Carry in Humboldt All the territory in supervisional district No. 3 in Humbolt county, California, outside of the incorporat ed cities and towns voted in a special election week before last on: the question: "Shall the sale of alchol le liquor be licensed" and the affirm ative carried with a total majority of 71 wet. , This district reverses itself, as it went dry two years ago by a 75 majority. o Eagle Lrfxlge at Alturas The Pit River Aerie of Eagles was-, recently organized in Alturas with a membership of 99.
