At vary little cost tbe boys and girls in tho sheep districts can obtain ono or more ot tbeso lambs to raise for market purposes. Tho saving of those lambs not only Increases the production ot wool and mutton but nets a good profit to the boys and girls. Bach member ot the clubs is raising from three to 20 lambs.

TO ERECT BUILDING Announcement was mado today by thn Jool T. Ward & Co. agency that tho southeast cornor of Seventh and a 'Main streets Is to bo Improved at onco by a threo-story class A struc ture. This property was purchased this week by Hart brothers, tho Cali fornia restaurant men, from Fred L. Houston, through tho Ward agency, and marks another triumph for this rosily firm, for It has brought to this city real developers and not specu lators. Yesterday Mr. Ward successfully negotiated a termination ot tho lease on the property bold by tho Western Transfer company, landing that con- corn, in tho room that Is to be vacated by tho Martin 5, 10, IS and 25-cont store. In addition ho purchased for the llarts the lot on Oak strcot back of the Dunham garage, to which the two-story frame building now occu pying tho Main street cornor will be removed. It Is planned lo remodel It into apartments. H. J. Winters, who purchased, through the "Ward agency, tho 40 feet adjoining, also announces that ho will build at tho same tlmo Hart brothers do and that his building will bo at least two stories and possibly throe. Mr. Winters plans on leaving his present building just where it Is until the foundation for his new one is about completed, when ho will move it to tho vacant lot just east of hlB property, whoro it will remain until ho can move into his now store. With these Improvements and tho proposed building to bo erected on tho Brett corner Immediately across the street, Seventh and Main will be tho center of building activities this summer and it will undoubtedly have a stimulating effect on the property further down the street. Tho Harts leftiblsornIhg,"f or! pie. souhv H, H. Hart will return wi,th bis family within a few days and will remain on the ground to superintend construc tion work. No decision has been reached as to what class ot tenants will be sought for the new buildings. E Notwithstanding the long spell of unfavorable weather, for poisoning squirrels, the progress of tho cam paign being waged against thorn can be judged somewhat by tho amount ot poisoned grain tMat has been used to date. Approximately eight tons ot poisoned grain has been dlstrl buted and another largo batch Is bo Ing prepared today. On account of the delay in got ting sacks only a limited amount ot grain has been on salo at the various distributing points. A supply ot sacks woro re ceived yesterday, however, and with in a few days' supplies will bo on hands at all of tho' twons in tho county where there is a demand, as well as other, central points desig nated by the committeemen in charge of tho work in various communities. A clean-up drive was put on yester day in the Mills addition district. Moro than 600 pounds'" ot poisoned grain were usod. This dilvo was made possible by the assistance, of tho Southorn Pacific company, Klam ath Development company, Klamath Korporatlon, Elmer Appleguto, Nlt schelm brothors, F. C. Mnrkqwardt and Charles Eberleln.' These parties furnished tho matorlal and labor for tho drive. . l The county post Inspector, Qrnnt Nelson, has been kept busy since his appointment the first of April. More than 60 en sos havo b-'orTrofprrcd to Mr. Nelson already. Theeo'bitve all been investigated and doflnlto ar rangements made for poisoning where necessary. Mr. .Nelson will put a new crew out on poisoning delin quent lands tomorrow. MARKET RETORT- PORTLAND, ApVli: V28.i-iCitttle weak r hog's, shoep, buttor and eggs steady, all unchanged,:..

SCHOOLS LOSE Ono of the most alarming foaturesJ of a possible failure of the higher educational tax act, aside from bar ring tho door to 1000 Oregon boys and girls, will be the loss of first class faculty material to all three In stitutions. Already tho weight of faculty resignations is being felt In tho institutions located at Eugene, Conalls and Monmouth. When a faculty resigns at tho col lego or the unlvorsity, or tho normal, tho president and regents encounter a now phase of their financial prob lem. To replace him at the same money is commonly impossible ex cept with some inferior. Other states that havo raised salary scales arc snapping up tho good men. Indus try, too, is pulling them away, for tlio war demonstrated as never be fore the tremcnduou3 valuo of the college profesor. At the Agricultural collogo .there havo been 45 faculty resignations since July, 1910. Some of the 45 went to nnsts Davlnir as much a ! . - --,- -t -- --t 4X20 a. month. more..than the college could pay. ' Because of their limited Income in the face 'of the big attendance, doubled costs, and depreciated dol lar tho college, university and nor mal are unable to hold their laculty members except as they remain through loyalty, and nothing else. Yet it is extremely important that faculty members bo held, and In par tlqular the technical specialists. professors of Agriculture, Education, Child Study, Horticulture, Animal Husbandry, Forestry, Engineering, Architecture, Journalism, Psychol ogy, Commerce and other practical branches, como to their highest worth In a state only after years of service. Now men, even of equal caliber, cannot learn Oregon in a season or two. Tho Mlllnge Bill to bo placed be fore the voters on May 21at, 310 (x) Yes, is provided to relieve the seri ous financial condition of the three state institutions. Rumors of an oil strike had tho city by the ears last evening and today, but it Is all rumor, Oil has not boon struck. A representative of Tho Herald visited the well this morning and Manager Campbell showed no hesitancy In offering for Inspection overythlng that would carry ovldence of an oil strike, and it would, indood, be a sltoptlc who would not accopt his statement. Drilling operations are continuing as usual, but the indications that tho Klamath basin is underlaid with oil aro increasing. Tho indications that tlio experiment will bo crowned with success were never bettor, but when the 'hopes of the backers of tho pro position will bo realized not ovan Mr. Campbell would hazard a giie-. Captain J. W. Siemens, or "Coal Oil Johnny," as his friends have dubbed him, today stated that it was Mr. Campbell's judgment that oil would not bo found before a depth of 1,6.00 feet ha'd been reached.
