Australian Estates to be Cut Up.
A recent report made by the United

State of Australia, includes the fol­
lowing:
“The general scheme for the repat­
riation of returned soldiers contem­
plates placing them upon the land. At
a recent conference between the Com­
monwealth and the State authorities,
it was decided that each state would
have to find the land, while the Com­
monwealth Government would ad-
vance up to $2,433 *° improve the
holdings of each returned soldier and
to procure the necessary stock and
implements. In this State it was
Ucemed that the crown lands would
prove too difficult to improve to at­
tract returned soldiers, and it was de­
cided to purchase large estates and
divide them up into small farms and
to use the money advanced by the
Commonwealth government for build­
ings, fences, and tools. I he money ex­
pended by the State in purchasing the
land, as well as the money advanced
by the Commonwealth for improve­
ments. is a lien upon the property and
must be repaid-in small annual pay­
ments. it was so decided by the Com­
monwealth to advance money to re­

rent land. Bills will be introduced into
the various parliaments at once so
that this scheme can be put into oper­
ation throughout Australia.”
Chance to Obtain “Oregons."
Corvallis, Ore. Feb. 12.—Orcgcn
fanners will be given an opportunity
to get a limited number of famous
"Oregon" cocks to mate with their
farm flocks during the coming spring.
This is the first time that such a
chance has come their way. Now that
vigor and high producing qualities of
the Oregon, have been fully demon­
strated, a few hundred cockerals will
lie furnished to Oregon farmers de­
siring to build up the laying qualities
of their flocks, and at the same time
secure good meat qualities.
By mating these males with the
farm flock- an increase of 25 percent
in egg yield should be secured. It is
not recommended that the stock be
crossed with good laying strain, of
other purc-breds where the purpose is
to sell breeding stock and egg, for
hatching.
The Oregon, arc the breed that
startled the poultry world a few yens
ago by producing a pullet that laid
00 eggs in loo days, and followed up
with another that broke the world's
record by laying in trapnests JOJ egg,
in one year. Numerous other Ore,,011s
have since broken into the exclusive
300-egg class, and still others have
broken all long distance records in
continuous egg production. A pen of
these birds beat all competitors at the
Panama Pacific Exposition egg-lay­
ing contest, except a pen of Leghorns
from the College. At the Missoura
contest they made a record of 232
egg, per hen and took second place.
At the Storrs (Conn.) coyest they
averaged 212.2 eggs and won third
place, in competition with the world.
At the Oregon State Hospital a flock
of 3156 Oregon hens last year made a
profit to the state of $7,838.00 Their
fame has spread to all parts of the
world. It is this justly celebrated
stock that the Oregon farmers now
have access to.
,
While no hens will be spared from
the breeding yards this year a con­
siderable number of eggs for hatching
can be secured if early application is
made to the Poultry Dept, of the Col­
lege.
Obituary of Private P. 0. Gray.
Obituary of Private Perry O. Gray, '
of Co. E. 44 Inf., son of Mr. and Mrs.
L. P. Gray, of Blaine, Oregon. Writ- |

members of Co. E. 44th inf, assem­
bled around the bier of one of their
comrades, Private Perry O. Gray,
age 25 years, 9 months, 21 days, who
died from a short illness due to pneu-1

measels.. Young Gray enlisted while 1

Co. L. of this regiment.
At the funeral were present the

changed, and the body was buried in
the receiving lot of Camp Lewis.
Later with others, the body will be
removed to a national cemetery.
The band offered two selections,
and during the service before and
after the address, Secretary Wilson,
of Y. M. C. A. No. 4, rendered solos
"Nearer My God to Thee” and "God
be with You Till We Meet Again.”
Following the service at the hall, the
body was carried to the cemetery on
the cason of a cannon of Battery E.,
316th Artillery, and an escort from L
company of the 44th Inf.
At the grave Chaplain Kendall read
the field burial service and spoke of
the life of Private Gray from the
thought expressed in holy writ Josh.
23:14, "And behold this day I am go­
ing the way of all the earth." After
telling of the splendid record of the
deceased, not a single mark of disap­
proval was recorded against his name,
he went on to describe death as fol­
lows: "Death is common and we all
must meet it. When one is taken we

Our loved ones at home mourn our
going out and others miss us.
“The tree conies to life to die and
so does every other form of life.
“Still God notes our existence and
notes our leaving. He doth the spar­
rows fall. Even the hairs of our head
arc numbered.
”1 hold before you a little flower, it
has been clipped from the stem, it
dies but somewhere the root lives.
Next year a new stem and a new
flower will spring up. So it is with us,
in another world we live again. 'J he
root of life shall live in eternity. This
is immortality.”
After the farewell salute, fired by
the first squad of Co. L., the chief
musician sounded taps and the party
returned to camp.
